If Risk of Rain was in the $6 tier I'd say it would be worth it but as it is ennnnnnnnhh

Also I argue that Awesomenauts should not be considered Co-Op because MOBAs always just devolve into everyone yelling at each other instead of actually working together

KOTOR 1/2, Shadowrun: Returns and Vampire: the Masquerade: Bloodlines all on sale this weekend? That's some RPG goodness right there.

If they bundled all those together for an additional discount, I'd double dip every single one of them.

I wish GMG take a cue from Amazon and give us a steam key version of Ubisoft games, that would be ace.

And of course the community is down just when I want to play Dark Souls 2 :(

KOTOR 1 OR KOTOR 2?

Both is always the best answer, but I'd say that KOTOR 1 is the better Star Wars game, and actually a finished product. KOTOR 2 has a more interesting story and characters, but it wasn't finished, which leaves several plot points hanging in it's rather rushed ending.

Damn, I was just helping a guy clear out Iron Keep when steam went down :\

Steam doesn't like Sunbros

Every time a publisher sale comes up we just need to create a new banner

The featured dailies are even directly shown in the banner. Spider-man 4/1, Transformers 4/2, COD 4/3, Prototype 4/4.

Why does steam suck so much recently. Gabe please.

I would imagine its due to the user explosion partially brought on by Dota 2, but Steam has had a massive active user explosion in the past few months.

The top 5 games on Steam right now are commanding almost a million concurrent users alone, and they all use Steamworks features for their multiplayer.

Timeshift + Gun with card moneyz? sounds good
 
I've read, I think it was on Rock Paper Shotgun, that they recommend Shadowrun's expansion's campaign over the main game.

Edit: And just as I buy it, Steam goes offline and is stuck on scanning for license updates.

Steam down. Completely unable to play any of my games.

Why do people put up with this shit but were irate over the Xbox One doing the same thing?
 
Star Wars Empire at War? A Stars Wars RTS?! Is it any good? I'm hooked on RTS's now thanks to Company of Heroes and Dawn of War 2

Oh rock of ages, do not crumble, love is breathing still. Oh lady moon shine down, a little people magic if you will.
PSN is down as well.
Oh noez!

There's a little thing called offline mode.

offline mode? and steam is up for me, must be a USA thing :/

I liked what I played of it years ago (you know, when I didnt have a million games on steam and actually PLAYED them) but then put it aside for whatever reason and never got back to it :(

Yep, it's awesome. Played it back when it was released and the campaign was excellent. It has aged pretty well too

This shouldn't excuse Valve for poor planning and reaction. They have money and talent, they should fix this.
 
oh, just noticed Shadorun Returns is the weekend deal. never really played the old games, but this new one sorta interested me. Is it worth it?

Yeah, the expansion is a lot better than the original campaign. Not that the original campaign is bad really, it's just bland and a bit uninteresting compared to Dragonfall.

I'd say so. The original campaign is lacking compared to Dragonfall, so if you can get both you're good.

I can log into uPlay guys, all is well.

Well that sounds amazing. My work just does a standard sweepstake for the WC.

Without going massively OT it was something my boss did when she was at another company to aid in team bonding across departments that rarely communicate with each other but in practice it all kicks off where it gets quite politically driven and callous natured.
 
These are the games I am eyeing. Please give me some advice fellow GAFers if they are worthy of my money or not.

TimeShift™
Singularity™
Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit

Is Hot Pursuit worth getting? I have Most Wanted on my PS3/Vita and beat the hell out of them. Is it the same game?

Thanks!

Offline mode isn't working for me, and issteamdown confirms downtime.

Sucks because I was in the middle of chat with online friends. Steamchat is the most social place on the internet for me.
