Are you new here?
Wait for the Winter Seal, or Autumn Sale, it's just around the corner.
EDIT: Maybe a Russian Trader can offer you the game for like 5 TF2 Keys?
No, they've been giving away coupons.
You're safe though, the SR4 one is gone.
Also, I remembered wrong, it was just 33%
Wait for the next Deep Silver sale, it probably won't be all that long.
It's deep silvered (aka region locked to 50 different versions)

Oh, so sorry guys for the late reply. Actually played yesterday spontaneously since a long time again and it got pretty late. Thanks for your detailed posts, really appreciate both of you and your posts. Usually pretty quality ones
Ok, that makes sense. The game is really not serious at all - which I like actually. Guess from all the time playing Left4Dead2 I got used to quench even the last zombie "alive", ha.
I'll try Dead Rising 2: Off The Record when it's on sale (~5) and DR3 sometime in the future.
I saw some people talk positive here about "Depression Quest".
Can someone explain the hate going on at metacritic with an average user score of 0.9?

Do a GAF search on Zoe Quinn. Check out the Evilore thread that's locked.

Dead Rising 2 Off The Record didn't work for me anymore when I wanted to play it. Had to use a crack to get my legal copie of it to run...

Thanks. It seems to be working now so it's downloading.

Immaturity in the gaming community. One should never look to Metacritic user scores for any reason at all, honestly. But something like Depression Quest is exceedingly subject to hateful responses. It covers a touchy subject, it is done in the form of a choose-your-own-adventure story with active elements which a book couldn't provide (bringing upon the comments of "it's not a game!"), and it was written by a woman. The backlash for any one of the three of those things is enough to ignite the ignorant, knuckle-dragging part of gaming culture to show themselves as swine, so imagine the impact of having all three of those things working together against it at once. The latest "drama" surrounding the private life of the writer doesn't help either.
It's an excellent story. Play it if you want a good analog for understanding how depression affects the individual.

metacritic user reviews are about as good as asking a rock for winning lottery numbers
I bet most of those reviews never even played the game to begin with
The key word here is "Zoe Quinn".
edit: Also take a look at this thread: I've been getting a lot of emails about Zoe Quinn
There is a huge controversy surrounding the creator of Depression Quest currently. Mainly emanates from 4Chan, but it seems that she slept with several journalists in order to get coverage for her game and various forms of funding.
Obviously, take this with a massive grain of salt, but this is the information I have been able to gather.
This sums it up pretty well
I doubt most of these people are actually judging the game, just want to give it a bad score because of the controversy recently.

I am going to make it through this year if it kills me
That thread shouldn't exist at all. Evil should have just kept it as a closed thread with reasons why it's not appropriate.

dave is ok
aztek is ok
It's also not a very good game, but I doubt it would be that low without the controversyThanks for all your answers guys
I don't take metacritic serious, but there has to be something behind it, if a game gets so much negative reviews. Interesting to know.

That's hardly an objective take on the happenings. Also totally takes a dump on his vid by dragging other people's name through mud based on silly assumptions. But let's not drag this topic into here. Totally not our business.

Just to follow up on Watch Dogs' latest patch. There appears to be marginal difference using a single GPU and Ultra Texture are still out of the question for me but SLI performance is getting a lot better from patch to patch. Framerate still drops without using GPU resources but it's at a point now where it's a better experience with SLI enabled.

Excellent.
Also reminded me I wasn't on you FR
Oh no
Is DR3 also GFWL?
Nope that one is Steamworks.

I don't think any new games will have GFWL in the future.
PS: With the crack I was able to play everything except the multiplayer, even the achievements worked correctly and I don't think it's illegal to do this with your legal copie.
Its not really an interesting continuation of the Saints Row story line, its more a final farewell for fans of the previous games, especially Saints Row 1 & 2. So much so that the missions are pretty lackluster if you are not familiar with the characters and areas and additionally have nostalgia for both. Mechanically, speaking, the car mechanics have been fixed compared to the paucity in options and polish featured in Saints Row 3. But, because you get superpowers early on, the entire endeavor is relegated to acknowledgement of missing mechanics in SR3 rather than a meaningful addition to SR4. Secondly, the gag weapons are lacking compared to the ones in SR3. They added a music gun that changes it's firing pattern dependent on what type of music it is firing; and an inflato ray but it doesn't compare. As with the car mechanics, all of the guns are made obsolete by the Black hole launcher, for which you can unlock infinite ammo and the nuke superpower; a combo that can eliminate most enemies.
*Note: The Penetrator is still in the game, and is now modifiable, but it's now an Easter egg weapon instead being in the main arsenal.
And by coverage we mean a generic greenlight games arcticle and a article about a pseudo indie scandal/feud, because when you sleep with for someone for coverage, that's the exact type of coverage you want. /s

Ugh. Stearncornmunity scammer keeps adding me from different accounts with maybe a week's interval. Pretty damn obvious but still kinda annoying. I goatse'd the last one but it's obviously a bot so they probably don't read any chat messages they get.
