Piracy is the only answer.
Sir, You Are Being Hunted has been a letdown for me. It's a good concept, and I've gone back to it a handful of times as they've added more features but there is little fun to be had IMO. Player movement, gun handling, the stealth system, it all just feels very clunky and inelegant. On top of that it feels like there isn't really anything to explore. Environments are very bland, and except for the rock fragments you're supposed to find to beat the game, all items are found in houses that you loot by clicking on a door as though it's a treasure chest. You can't actually enter buildings. It all feels very unsatisfying.
Can't we just agree that they are both utter garbage?
I wasn't trying to imply that one is better than the other.

Highly recommended to everyone. Especially since the cost for it will be covered by the current price of cards it has.
It says 10 but thats just the recommended buy price.

I think you need to pay min 1 to get a steam key right?

Yeah I fixed it. But to be fair anyone should feel pretty bad if they can't at least give a buck.

Does beating the average get you a Steam key for the OST?
Jawmuncher

Not sure how they are handling the OST for BTA.
EDIT: Confirmation from corrosivefrost that it doesnt.
corrosivefrost

No, it does not.
At least not unless it's a different sub that the steam key they give you is for.
Like Humble Bundles, it seems you get a steam key for the game and a download of a zip file for the soundtrack.
I'm going to redeem it shortly, so I'll let you know if I end up owning the OST on steam, but I'm fairly certain it's a no.

Thanks for the clarification. Had just came back to update my post when I realized that it wasn't a steam key for the soundtrack.
The Imperial Edition includes the soundtrack but I don't want to beat the average only to find the key is for the game alone (I already have it).

There will surely be some way to get around gfwl for bulletstorm eventually.

Got a foil first drop, thanks for the heads-up. 8)
1 Byte is 8 bit, so 4MBps is 32 Mbps.
After 25Mbps, I think there's no noticeable change in browsing speeds unless its gif heavy or something
downloads will be glorious though

Great game.. There goes my hope of selling my foil for a decent price though

Sub is "War of the Human Tanks".
Looking at properties for the game and checking the DLC tab shows "You currently own no DLC for this product."
I contacted support, but I'm not holding my breath.
Can't say I'm surprised. Thanks for confirming.

I see. Wonder why they have to do it that way.
But yeah as you said its the most noticeable with downloads for sure.
corrosivefrost

Me either. I figured I'd take a shot for the $.0.56 difference since I didn't already own the game... but to pay $1.56 and get absolutely nothing? That's not worth it, obviously, so I can't blame you.
New avatar reminds me of Oona from Legend.
Incidentally, Saoirse's middle name is Una. There's your fun fact for the day.

AWW YESSS!
Happened to run into a copy of No One Lives Forever GOTY edition in a flea market. Got it for 1 euro. One of my favorite games ever! Don't know where I've lost my original copy of the game.
Seems to run fine on my PC despite the age of the game (though I guess it's not all that ancient, and my PC is very old too anyway). That aliasing though..
Will be interesting to see how the game has held up and if my love for the game is mostly painted golden with time and nostalgia (I really don't think so at least).
Are there any good mods for the game? Anyone know?
Man I'd love a see a version of it come to GOG/Steam some day but I guess it's extremely unlikely.

NOLF is in an awkward limbo. Presumably the rights to the NOLF IP itself are buried somewhere at Acti (Fox Interactive was bought out by Vivendi Games which became the now-independent Acti-Blizz), but the subtitles, A Spy in HARM's Way and Contract JACK, went with Monolith to WB.

Yeah that's kinda what I heard. Sucks.
Is there a way to contact all the people who own all the different parts of the IP, so I can kick or punch them in the balls and just take it back from them?
Finding cheap copies of Bulletstorm is proving to be an exercise in frustration. Everyone is either offline or AFK.
If such a thing were possible I'd kick Ubi's balls for not putting Tintin and King Kong on Steam.

Night Dive has been working on getting it on GOG. There was also a article about it. Nobody knows

Night Dive teased Grim Fandango last August but the photo has since been taken down so I'd assume it's not happening.
They teased it for months and then that Disney stuff happened.

How's NOLF 2 by the way? For some reason I never played it, maybe I should track a copy of the game.
Is it at least about as good as the first one?

Mickey Mouse is a wanker.
Deus Ex: The Fall is a game that can be summed up in one line: "better than you anticipated based on the fact that it's a mobile up-res."
I had fun with it. It wasn't great--the writing lacked surprises, the maps were small, the FOV can't be changed, there's no jumping (or physics of any kind, so no reason to stack stuff)... but... I mean, it felt like Human Revolution with worse gunplay, an oddly-large UI, and smaller maps.
For the (lol steam cards) price, um, I had fun?
Bit optimistic of them to say that the story will continue, but I would absolutely say yes to a sequel that was developed for the PC first, so it had the FOV slider/jumping/stacking objects/larger maps back in.
Still hate HR's take on stealth. Of all the series to borrow from, Metal Gear Solid's literally the worst place to source your stealth mechanics.
It's being discussed.
NOLF2 has the tornado fight and the whack-a-mole and the tricycle chase... so NOLF2 is a better game than NOLF. They learned a lot.

It was a pretty old fashioned sequel in that they took the original game and actually added things to it... I'm not sure why that isn't done more these days.
Anyway, some things worked and others didn't quite click for me. It had a bit more stealth and backtracking which I wasn't a big fan of, but also its share of great and crazy moments.
So I'd say it is at least as good as the first, but maybe not as even.

Ok cool, thanks. I'll need to find a copy of NOLF 2 then at some point.
Anyone want any cheap game coupons?
one finger death punch looks pretty good

I wouldn't mind that 50% off Septerra Core coupon.

I see War of the Human tanks is taking the "Persona 4" approach of making you watch for 20 hours before you can do anything...
