Didn't know I would sell nearly 170 cards so quickly. Ran into the "we need info for tax purposes" notice.

It's not for selling them; it's for listing them. When I took a couple of cards off the market, to put them back up at new prices, it wouldn't let me due to reaching the limit.

Capcom needs to hurry up and remove GFWL from Dead Rising 2. I want to play that game without losing my saves :/
I wonder when Bulletstorm's will get removed as well.

Oh God... the day I boot up a game only to find out GFWL has been taken down and the devs never bothered to patch it...

got e-mail from Ubi yesterday that Might & Magic Heroes Kingdoms is closing. They didn't mention when servers will be closed down, but seeing as shop is closed in August, must be soon.

Thief feels like a shitty Dishonored, which is kind of funny since that's what some people think Dishonored is. It's the locomotion in Thief that bugs me the most. Swooping is neat and all but too many actions are dictated by one, context sensitive button. There needs to be a jump button, there really does because what you can and cannot interact with is inconsistent. In some places waist high objects are impassable barriers, which is beyond frustrating and shouldn't be a thing. It wouldn't be a thing if there was a jump button. And you should have the ability to lean look without having to snap to a corner or object. You feel like Garret looks with that stupid hood of his, like he can't move his neck at all. The locomotion in this game feels stilted and stunted.

The sound design is terrible. Ambient lines and noises will overpower cutscenes or you'll be alone in an interior and the noise from outside, like two guards conversing, will sound as if it's right next to you. There's a lot of loading screens, a lot. Too many I'd say. And so far the level design is pretty binary with the penchant for funneling you down some scripted events. This game kind of is what everyone feared it would be.

I'm playing on the Master difficulty but I kind of wish I had just stuck with the normal default difficulty. I kind of just want to breeze through the campaign as quickly as possible and wouldn't mind leaving a trail of dead guards at this point if it meant getting through the game faster. There's so much about this game that feels off, like there needed to be some more iteration and polish.

Unfortunately Rome Gold isn't steam, even if it's on steam.

Not really. Thief is already looking kind of like Hitman Absolution and Tomb Raider 2013. Play it once, uninstall and never play again.

At this rate I'd rather reinstall and play through Dishonored for the fourth time.

I checked on steam, and users reviews for Thief are overwhelmingly positive. It's so strange.

Apparently, you should turn off all assistance and stuff. Make it minimalistic and you can appreciate it for what it is what than what you wish it to be. That's what I'm getting from the OT.

At the same time, the (now basically defunct) Green Light Bundle sent me an email this morning that contained my Steam key for Major Mayhem.

Seems like Groupees should really be stepping up their game.

We're hibernating :). But still sending steam keys when we get them from developers :)

Is the activation for Lords of Shadows 2 region locked?

Actually, are activations in general region locked now? My Dark Souls still works fine although it's retail. I activated MGR fine but I heard some people who activated it later had issues.

I've got Thief pre-loaded, and Steam says it is to be released on the 25th. It's now the 26th in my country and it still shows that it is not released yet. What gives?
