You can try to do an order (doesn't hurt anything) but the odds of it being honored are slim to none as of now. A lot of people are waiting to see what happens.

I never thought to look down whilst strafing. Yeah, I bet that must look weird. Anyway, I happily left them behind and played most the game at 75 (or 90, I forget).
I can't believe it's still up at that price. As you say, it almost certainly won't be honoured given the number of people that must have ordered it by now.
I just want them to release the tool that was made and used for the movie, it's pretty amazing.
Depends on the preorder bonuses, as a few games have some that won't be available later (like REmake HD's artwork and soundtrack).
Don't worry, I have no intention to buy GTAV until it hits 75% off or so
because I already got it on PS4
GotC has all the DLC included save for the Child's Play one, but that one is no longer available anyway.

How can anybody want GFWL
I can't play Op Raccoon City because of that crap (I know, why would I even buy that thing, funny thing, I preordered it and it was fun with friends, too bad it doesn't even work now)

I know that "recommended" requirements these days are pretty much ignored by everyone but I'm trying to figure out if I'd be able to run Dying Light well at 1080p on High at least. The specs say i5-4670K/R9 290/8 GB RAM is what is recommended. I have i5-4690K/R9 290X/8 GB RAM. Am I safe with that setup as far as running smoothly on High?

Want to play a new game however I need something that I can beat in 2 days.
Since I don't want to start anything I won't finish by the 20th when a bunch of stuff comes out. But looking at all my games. The only stuff beatable in that time frame are VNs and I just finished 2 of those back to back so I need a break. This is where it would be useful if I actually played MP games.

Dying Light is from Technland and uses the Dead Island engine. Thus nothing is safe, expect jank galore. Do not preorder, wait for benchmarks.
Have you tried Hexcells yet?
If not that, Teslagrad is shortish if you can stomach puzzle platformers.

Soon they'll start defending that paying to play online on PC is a good idea.

Thanks a lot, will do! But should I play them before each new Act of after the Acts?
It really is.
Having said that, given what MS has done with regards to .NET, I'm really hopeful a GFWL2.0 does NOT happen (I expect that at worst, the Games app turns into an Xbox app that allows streaming from the XBone)
EDIT:
Oh, good to know, I thought it was removed to never return.
Then the GotC edition is definitely complete

Figures seeing as how they labelled the hype train the way they did.
I don't think the people saying that are actual PC Gamers.

That is insane.
I just hope games will use less and less other drm than steam (best including steam but better be realistic :/). It's not about them working or not (that is important of course) but more about being able to play the game in the future.
I don't believe Social Club, Denuvo or most other drm will be functional in the future and how will we be able to play the games then? Just like GFWL nowadays ruins many games - even if only certain portions, MP etc.
What happened with .NET ?

Did I miss out on GTAV?
Depends on where are you from. If you are from Latin America then you could buy it from a Brazilian trader for 19 tf2 keys (it's $38 there)
I don't know if the Chinese region free stuff still works (that one was $30)

The music in the two videos is so freaking awesome! People go listen to them on its storepage.
Reminds me of Spelunky kinda but with more charming pixel visuals and super, super charming music.
-
Can anyone help me with getting the player controls fade away when watching videos on steam storepages, please?
They go away in small view but stay in fullscreen.
It's aggravating -__-
they're side stories very loosely related to the main game
so whenever you feel like eet

I won Remember Me some time ago in a Modbot raffle and only today did I finally start it. I'm not quite sure how I feel about it. The story is interesting, the world itself has great detail, the graphics are fine, the combat is okay - not quite Arkham or Sleeping Dogs but it tries - but what's with that level design? "Oh, did you see something you can't access from here and want to backtrack? Too freakin' bad." The game pushes you inexorably forward and why? False sense of replayability because it tries to force missables? What's worse is it's those missables are just minor branches on a path so linear they could use it as a field sobriety test.
I'm at the beginning of chapter 4 right now, and I will finish it, but it just makes you want to shake the developers and say 'You made an awesome world! Why did you reduce it to a series of corridors?" Disappointing.

The individual purchase option was removed from Steam (albeit a little later than planned) but Deep Silver never bothered to take it down elsewhere and it later showed up in the Ultimate Franchise Pack (and more recently the GOTC Edition). The DLC being a "limited time only" thing was one big lie, really.

anyone know the day grim fandango will be up for preorder?
Cost cutting measure? HD assets ain't cheap.
Also, have fun with the fighting when the enemies who hurt you back start showing up.
(And thank god you don't have an ATI card. Game was almost unplayable for me on my old computer - kept stuttering on level load and during the fights, including a few second pauses here and there. Not sure whether caused by dual core CPU or PhysX, but still immensely immersion breaking).
The entire soundtrack is great. It's three disks long too. Spelunky was heavily influenced by the original la-mulana, so it's not surprising that they look similar.
That... never happened on my 5850.

I had an ATI card at the time I won it. Makes me wonder what I'd think about it had I actually played it in a timely fashion, or if it would have actually affected me the same way.

Pretty much how I feel about the game, very well spoken. I couldn't have said it as eloquently. Especially the bit about Saints Row. Saints Row owns how dumb it is, and it only improves the experience. GTA... Is just boring. "Oh ho ho, look at how edgy and immature we are! It's funny, guys!" The shitty characters and stories are lost on the otherwise fantastic world and mechanics. That's why any Saints Row is a million times better than any GTA. That's why I returned my copy of GTAV, but I'm still excited about Saints Row.
Oh man, the R* fanboys in that thread are so hilariously stupid. It doesn't surprise me in the least that the place might be a total shithole, but those fanboys... "Rockstar can do no wrong!"
Sounds like Naughty Dog fans when you analyze it.
Never happened to me on my 260x but I didn't make it far either. But still, no stuttering or problems here.
just finished my first game in 2015
its shantae and the pirate's curse
yah , and its the first shantae game i ever played , not sure how i gonna play the old one
the downgrade
anyway , i had tons of fun , maybe the best platformed i ever played in long time
clever puzzles and puns every where
and good backtracking to get every thing
i'll give it 9.5 out of 10
i hope they release it on steam ( but i don't think it will be soon )

The old games are also great but slower.
In early November MS held an event called "Connect();" where they had some workshops and also would talk about the future versions of VS and .NET. They made several announcements that were great for the dev community, but a couple were mindblowing in general:
- Cross-platform mobile development in VS (via Cordova, but means that you can do apps for WP, Android and iOS now)
- .NET core is now open source.
- .NET will be available officially on *nix and OSX.
That is kinda weird, I guess they forgot or don't care.

Picked this up in the winter sale and i can see how it could grab you in.
How did you find the controls, the jump mechanic take a bit of getting used to, you just have to be a little more thoughtful than some other games.
Really annoys when they jump platform(no pun intended) for a series - looks like there is a fourth in the works too, listed as a windows release - hopefully the third will get the same treatment.

A new Hidden and Dangerous game would be amazing, I still remember the first one fondly.
How was Fury? It's on theaters here, so I'd been planning on going.

La-Mulana --MB-587E496440E94818- Taken by Naked Snake. 20 entrants total.
... Are you sure? I thought it was on the new iteration of their engine, the one used for Hellraid..?
Ofcourse, it'd be a derivative of the DI engine, but a lot can happen in 3-ish years.
I remember loving the first H&D even though it was a buggy mess, like CTD crashing every 10 minutes... oh my patience back then, playing thru the whole game like that.XD Second one was so much better in that regard.
I really liked Fury, very much worth a watch, more so if you like WW2 movies.

Yeah, the second H&D was a technical marvel compared to the first. Looks really good even today, the Mafia engine holds up pretty well.
Thanks for the recommendation, gonna go this week then.

So, I tested out Dark Souls for a bit today. Thanks for all the advice, Nabs and others.
So, do I always change graphics settings from DSFix.ini and never change them in-game? I'll need to familiarise myself with some of these settings.

Sure, it's a new version but the PS4 videos from last week showed tons of graphical issues and everything felt mostly like DI. Maybe it'll run great on PC and all the countless problems of their old games are now fixed. But I won't bet one zombie brain on that.
