Oh, I thought that was if one didn't have savefiles? Either way that's good, but would be sweet to have own savefiles.^^

You know me, I love Origin too much to let go. One day it will rise and I will be able to say that I've done my part. Also their icon is much nicer than the Steam one. Uplay too. Come at me!
Normal icons for desktop apps can't be made wide on the start screen. Or at least I haven't found one that can, only real start screen apps can. But yeah, looks good to me. Though using that there then would be an inconsistency with the small icon in the tray on the lower right which now looks especially fuzzy due to the gradient.
Of course, I'm not sitting here screaming at my screen, we'll all get used to it.

Is Dragon Age Keep some kind of official save game creator?
GI.Biz article on Dontnod's new direction.
Interesting that they're also working on another project.
Can't wait to find out more about it eventually.

With all these free Origin games its only a matter of time until everyone here abandons Steam and joins the Origin overlords. Its inevitable.
I'm not sure how smart Windows is at selecting the right icon for the right environment these days but I think in 8 providing you have it set to the right size scaling is pretty good. So you can bundle a few sizes together, even different ratios and it should detect which to use where. So...
But I think Desktop icons still need to be in the old legacy sizes so 256x256 is the maximum they will ever be.
Your penchant for masochism is well known
Still though, there's a reason the Origin thread is moribund. Let us embrace that fact, not try to prevent it.
the 9 gig PvZ game is only free for 72 hours, tho.
It's basically a free weekend =p

Morning everyone! Since we're speaking about windows 8 I have a question, anyone know of a windows 8 tablet that can play some games on steam, like say South park, civ5, and other not so demanding games? Also it would be even better if it has a HDMI out so I can connect it to my TV every now and then to watch movies and stream more demanding games

Sorry, can't do if I think a deal is really good. And playing Garden Warfare for a few hours for free is really good. I also always give a fair warning at the beginning if my post is Origin-related.
A competent Qix clone, worth the dollar.

I assume those freebies get a lot of activity hence the introduction of a whole program based on them called EA "I don't remember the specific name now but it's the PSN clone".
And they want to leave a good impression with all these high quality games in it.

Still beta.
I'm on stable and it's there for me as well.

Rooms got cards, it sold badly so they should be worth something and I have a 75% voucher. But I can't use the market for another week and it could very well appear in a bundle until then. Harsh times.

I imagine it's similar to what was done for Mass Effect 3. Basically allowing you to make all the decisions of the previous games without playing through them.

hahahah, knew it
people should really stop this btw. Don't they know how agitated (non-GaaS) Valve fans are?
it shouldn't be. Last time it was still tied to the beta client. I see the label, but doesn't work for me. Dunno.

Fukuy guys and I did not see anything in the valve stand. It was a little joke ... that I've seen my tweet on reddit and people speculating ....

Happy Birthday my man!
I almost fell for it
Thanks to folks like derExperte I got many great games from Origin.
Okay, you are a game dev, you speak German, Dutch and now Japanese, too.
Who or better, what in the world are you? Jack of all trades.
How are you not working for a big game dev instead of being indie with all these - and not known to me yet - credentials?
I hear people liking the first one. I should get it at some point.Soon.... I want Vita version though. Add to your wishlists
They added the options page and library sorting for it in yesterdays stable client update. I don't actually know if it works because I'm not going to use Steam to play music.
EDIT: Totally works, adding a library folder in desktop mode didn't seem to work (maybe I did it wrong), but in big picture it added just fine. Playing works in desktop mode though as well.
Seems unlikely they'll get rid of TF2 and CS:GO keys, I don't think the chinese market for FPS is nearly as large and appealing as it could be for DOTA2, so it seems pretty unlikely Valve would remove something so integral from TF2 (and something so new from CS:GO). Valve must not see the key/chest market as being important to the monetization of DOTA2 if they are willing to give that up to expand the market size.
It is interesting that China seems to be the only country that takes addictive gaming seriously and endeavors to put some controls and limitations on it.

sorry for the ignorance, but what happened with china that affects dota 2?
I have been wanting to play this. Thank you for the information.
smh.
Finished Mitsurugi Kamui Hikae on normal, game is pretty fun, it could use a bit more polishing, but what it offers are pretty decent, it's kind of like a Musou and a bit of Devil May Cry but with its own decent mechanics. Been kind of mashing through the game though since I didn't really learn how to use some of the skills until near the end when fighting bosses, but the game is quite short so I'll probably replay it a bit as it seems to have multiple difficulties, and it feels like I barely used any of the moves (they're unlockables) from my first playthrough.
Game is pretty flashy and is cool once you get the hang of the controls.

I'll second this. Game is really fun and refreshing. Different than all the other shooters out there at the moment.
I didn't frequent the threads about it, but I don't (want to) believe some people were hoping it was an exclusive since it would make little sense for a new Silent Hill to be exclusive.

Wonder if it's timed or full multi from launch.

Is witcher 1 enhanced edition still worth to play?
Nobody did. Just acting hostile to console owners as usual.
My computer is resisting the Steam update, it can't handle the change!
Absolutely, though if you played Witcher 2 be aware that the first one plays a lot differently in terms of combat mechanics and takes some getting used to.
Keys are being removed from DOTA2 and apparently Chinese regulations are the reason. There's some discussion of it on the past few pages of this thread.

Sorry to tell you this but yes, there are people on GAF who openly hope for games to be exclusives for no good reason and celebrate if it happens.

some men just want to watch the world burn
Brings up a good point....Does PC/Steam have any PC-Exclusive Crusaders here on GAF?
A very special kind of person.
Sadly, both console camps have them, for some reason.
Happy Birthday!
Only for the legitimate complaint that complexity in certain types of games is drastically reduced to accommodate the limited range of a console controller and games become a series of small rooms or discrete areas to fit within the hardware limitations. Or in rarer cases, the game difficulty or ambiguity is reduced so that a wider audience can be rewarded for just participating and mindlessly following quest markers.
It's human nature to try to justify one's own decisions, and for most people, which gaming system to buy is a fairly significant and expensive choice. It's why rational arguments in either direction are pointless, you're fighting against an irrational and ingrained aspect of humanity as a whole.

Pretty long I guess. If you look at the page with 'free' games you'll see that BF4 is listed but not available anymore, but it basically says 'if you downloaded BF4 Game Time but haven't played do it now'. So downloading is the important part. I wouldn't wait too long though.

PAC-MAN Championship Edition DX+: All You Can Eat Edition 2,54€ @ GMG And PAC-MAN Museum is 75% off.
There's a (EU) in the game title but I figured it means nothing. Welp.
Not bad at all but the only one I'm missing is LogiGun.

Thanks for all the birthday well wishes fellas. It is now officially not my birthday, though I am continuing drinking since I started the celebration so late. Special thanks to freshVeggie who gifted me Artemis Spaceship Bridge Simulator. Been wanting to try it out for a while, now I just gotta convince a bunch of other people that they want to play it too.

So, um, AssCreed 4 looks real nice once i could get triple buffering going but, man, this is the first time in the series where i'm playing a game and thinking "there's nothing new here."
Truthfully, i'm only about an hour or so into it but boy this intro isn't doing much for me. I know people complained a bit about AC3's intro but i actually found it to be the best part of the whole thing and possibly the best section in all Asscreed games. The differences in animation from the previous games was immediately noticeable and you really felt like you were playing some next level shit. ACIV just seems like AC3: Caribbean edition so far and, unless it picks up soon enough, i get the feeling that all of the praise AC4 got was simply because a lot of people skipped out on AC3.
