I decided against buying Prototype 2 last time it was on sale, because it seems like widely spread problem with running it satisfactory on PC at all.

edited: how long this sale will last? I'm probably just being blind as always, but I can't see any deadline.

I really should play Prototype 2. Ive been "saving it" until I (re)play the first but:

A) I never sorted a weird stuttering issue with the first, where it runs perfectly except for a stutter every 2 seconds or so (its not framerate dropping, the game freezes for half a second)

and more importantly

B) I need to stop worrying about finishing games on steam I already finished on consoles, as is the case with the first Prototype. I need to embrace the JaseC in me and realise im now a collector, I will never play all my steam games, let alone replay ones I already finished, even if I finished on console. The sooner I make peace with that, the sooner I can enjoy sequels I have

Singularity for 7.5$ and THPSHD for 2.5$.. tempting, if only I could use GMG credits on Amazon!

Singularity was a nice little swansong for Raven. It's been a good few years since I've played the game but it's basically the bastard child of BioShock and Half-Life with its own little ideas sprinkled about here and there.

It's worth pointing these out as they rarely go on sale on Steam and quite a few people are always complaining, doubtful they'll get cheaper.

If it runs good during the two seconds between those hangs it's already superior to P2. The technical issues can be reduced (like limiting the game to one CPU core) but it remains a mess, one of the worst ports I've ever played.

I'm tempted by Tony Hawk, but I've heard this one's bad. Like, very bad. Which is a shame, but I'll pass.

I also feel like getting Gun (never got the chance to play it) and the cheapest Transformers game (don't care one bit about the franchise, but it looks really cool).

I just sent Merge an e-mail about Commandos: Strike Force returning to Steam, but I didn't think to ask about the DGF bundle. :(

I recommend watching a couple youtubes of Gun before giving into that temptation.

I want the newer Transformers game because it actually has colors and also Dinobots. However, when I was much poorer, I passed on getting it for $12.50, so now I don't want to pay more than that for it, haha.

Every game I want I already have or it's still too expensive on that acti sale.
Will say everyone should play singularity. Great underrated game.

Could someone check something for me. Are all the thumbnails on my Artwork Showcase broken?

Looks like it's the case between FF and Chrome.
Click to expand...

The 'images' you're loading in have the wrong src attribute. The main one for example is src="506x284.resizedimage"

Obviously .resizedimage is not a valid image file format. It should end in .jpg, .png etc. It's not a browser issue in other words.

Not really bad, just... disappointing I'd say. Although I can't help but think people were just looking at earlier games with rose-tinted glasses and were expecting too much from the upres.
The game has certainly a lot of positive reviews on Steam, so it must've been liked by at least some of the buyers.

No and no. But your first scan always give you rewards on already unlocked achievements. After that it will always be from the day the rewards started

BundleStars has a new bundle going up later today. Maybe the indie bundle they hinted about two weeks back?

Reverts are broken. It drives me crazy, since I like ramp style. Street style players won't even notice but the game is unplayable for me. :(

It looks like there was a delivery today that didn't fit in the postbox. It's either new earbuds or new wireless receiver. Neither which seem like all that big, so I wonder how it was packaged to not fit.

I really hope it's the receiver, can't play Dark Souls 2 without it.
