I am presuming Watch Dawgs is U-Play?

I'll wait till someone else says DW is broken before I write it off.
Loading issues is not a reason to damn the whole port so quickly. There may be a day one patch that fixes the issue entirely.
If that is the largest issue here, then there may not be a problem at all.
There were rumors that the Steam version would ditch the client for a Uplay overlay.
Don't know if this rumor managed to materialize or not.

It has been bundled.

Maybe the port job is as shit as ever, it's just only PC version getting reviewed by westerners for the first time in forever.

I'm pretty sure the devs know that people don't buy their game for award-winning gameplay, they might as well throw out something to match the game's reputation.

See no one trusts this because generally Jim Sterling just states the blindingly fucking obvious opinion, but no one else has said anything about the game so now we are in uncharted territory.
That was my understanding.
I put in over 200 hours in to the Rust early access. When the GAF group was playing and JayFray was hosting the server we had a shit load of fun. However, it became pretty obvious the that Garry doesn't really seem to have much of a plan or road map for Rust, at least in my worthless opinion.
I got it in a Humble Bundle with a bunch of other games, I'd say I got my $20 worth.
Sakamoto is dead to me
well, he was *already* dead for making Other M so I guess he's dead-er now
Bwahahaha this is such bullshit.
Not like Ubisoft is the only culprit in this kind of thing though.

That is a real shame. Maybe they will pay attention and try and work issues out via updating. Still a terrible way to kick off a franchise on PC in the west. Hopefully they don't gauge any poor sales as a lack of interest

It reminds me of the last 3 Assassin's Creed games that had charts roughly that size.

It selects Android cactus. I mean I don't have to use it but it's weird how it suddenly stopped working. I've tried disabling my gamepad, making sure it wasn't a particular ski idk.

How do I switch browser-Steam back to English again? Nevermind, I should have tried this myself before asking.
Then it's kind of fitting given all the comparisons between the two games.

The sad thing is that you're not wrong. The preorder items are useless.

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.
Really looking forward to it, I hope I have some free time tonight to play it.

I waited a week for playfire's support to respond and when they did, it was about an issue that I was not having.
Hmm, nearing the end of my Dark Souls 1 walkthrough. I still have to do the DLC which in itself is terrifying. But that's not my point, my point is fuck this constant autosave. My choice is either I probably fail miserably and can't save two NPC I'm quite fond of, or I cheese the game with a backup save if something goes awry.
The thing is, I may be a masochist, but the only time I cheesed was to make things back to normal, after the fucking Minotaur fell to his death on his own and I wanted to beat him.

I'm late to the game but man One Finger Death Punch is awesome!
it's so awesome it made me bother to post a review of it on Steam

Don't cheese. You can get there in hours in NG+ anyway and cheesing takes away the feels if they die.

bump, probably a dumb question but would like some feedback.
You are rolling the dice.
1) It really doesn't use 1gb of vram = you are ok.
2) it does use 1gb of vram, but is built in such a way that it will swap = it will run slowly and/or stutter a lot. (How much depends on concurrent vram demand.)
3) it does use 1gb of vram, and is strict about it = it wont run at all, or will crash every now and then (how often depends on the same as above)
My money is on #2. If is easy to burn through vram and I doubt they spent much time on optimizing their use of it. Also, at least under DX9, #2 was the easier-to-build scenario.
Buy a video card, mang.

I have a mac, won't get to buy a new PC altogether until next year =/
You could ask the developer directly via twitter or on the steam forums, 1gb of vram seems high for a game like Transistor.
That's kinda weird. You'll probably be okay. They even put in the option for 720p assets to help lower end machines for the pc version.
Well considering they list a 9400 GT on there as a recomended card which in of itself only had 512mb of dedicated VRAM i'd say you're probably safe. I'd say the 1gb requirement is accounting for shared graphics memory with your system. Go find your card in device manager and right click then properties and see what total you get. Short of some crazy AA or supersampling you cant tweak I can't see this needing 1gb as a minimum to be honest.
If in doubt why not tweet either Greg or Supergiant direct. Greg is quite engaging as is the person manning the official account. Of course that's if Twitter is something you use for communication.

Edit: Ah you got a Mac. Ok what card you got in there if you know?

Yeah, I admit the 9400GT part really confused me which is part of why I asked.

If valve is going to show off ricochet 2 they're going to do it on their own terms.

Ricochet 2 is still years off. They need to get L4D3 out of the way first, ugh.

This is relevant to my experience last night.
I downloaded and installed the game on Steam, then tried running the game. Instant crash to desktop. Interesting. Two more attempts with the same result. I verify the integrity of the files, and one file (17KB) is missing. Weird, since I literally had just downloaded the dang game. Steam downloads the file and I try launching again.
No joy. Google Fu tells me it relates to GFWL, and provides me a link to download that monstrosity. Yes, I purposefully chose to download GFWL on my computer. Game now loads. It looks like crap, so I download the DSfix (thanks, Durante!) and fix the resolution to something more tolerable.
I fire the game up again and get a warning that it can't connect to GFWL (which I thought was a dead service) and that I won't be able to save my progress. Ummmm, okay. I'm assuming this is a left over message from a crappy development port job and choose to proceed.
Instantly, I notice that all the button mapping prompts on screen are for a 360 controller. I don't see an option to switch that to PC-appropriate prompts. I try to exit to the menu, and find that the Escape key doesn't work. You know, the same key that EVERY PC game in existence uses to bring up the interface. Instead, From Software decided it should be mapped to the End key. That makes perfect logical sense...in bizarro world.
After toying around with the game some, I realize that I really need to play this on my wireless 360 controller, since the prompts are confusing the hell out of me and the game feels designed for a controller. I turn on my controller and the game doesn't recognize it, even though basically every other game in existence does. The prompts sit there on screen and tease me. "Press A to loot this corpse...haha, just kidding!"
Google Fu indicates this is a problem with a duplicate Microsoft Game Controller initiation, which required a four step process with the control panel and device manager to correct.
I fire the game back up and lo and behold, the controller now works! I go to resume my previous game and guess what? That GFWL warning wasn't kidding. The game won't save my progress. Not that I had advanced anywhere in the story, but there's no point to try and play the game if the game won't save my progress.
TLDR: Dark Souls on the PC requires an advanced engineering degree to run properly. There's also no way in hell I'm going to create a GFWL account in order to play this damn game. Uninstalled. I'll wait for Dark Souls 2 to go on sell and play a game that actually runs on the PC.
The last time I remember Valve doing something at E3 was when they announced L4D2. It's never really been that big of an event for them.

Man part of me suspected most of that shit is unneeded, but this clarifies it. Is there a thread dedicated to this? Because there should be.
Those complaining or being hesitant towards Dynasty Warriors 8 because of it's $50 price point sort of come off as cheap ass gits.
Unless they're in Europe and it costs more than the US in which case, it's understandable if you want to wait for it to go on sale.
BTW can we link to SteamTraders on this thread?

Portal 2. But I know, I know. It's just that with Source 2 on the horizon I was holding out for an E3 '03 moment.

Walking Dead S2 is updating right now for me, so I'm guessing the new episode is up.

Oh yes! 696.3 MB!
Yep. Here too.
Quick question:
If I play a game that has an update released while I am playing it, will steam download it and apply it afterwards or would I have to be out of the game?
EDIT - Nevermind, The Walking Dead is already downloading ahead of schedule!
Well, my working theory is that Source 2 really ought to be making a loud noise sometime before the end of they year. I get the impression that this is an engine they want to see adopted a bit more the OG Source

I agree.
Don't buy Rust unless they lay out a timeline or vision for what they want the game to be. Game was great fun on the Neogaf server but they really shouldn't have released the game in the state it was.
