Origin tells you its downloading the full game when it's really not. If you look at your download speed it should be many more times faster than normal.
I don't think the origin download metre is entirely accurate, mine also said it was downloading 50GB but it never actually downloaded anywhere near that.

Are you judging the size by what Origin shows, or are you using an external bandwidth meter?
You're right. Game was downloading at 4 MB/sec when usually my puny internet connection is hovering around 1 MB/sec to 1.5 MB/sec tops.
THANK GOODNESS, I won't have to wait a whole day for this thing to download like when I downloaded BF3 + Premium. That was fun.
Just what Origin shows.

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.
We've proven undoubtedly that Origin lies.
Anyone want to go in on a Guns of Icarus pack, maybe fire it up too? I was hoping to get some space pirate action with airbucaneers but it's totally empty, this seems much more active, and a bit nicer too - especially the clouds.
I wouldn't mind going in for the BattleBlock Theatre Chaos Pack either, love the alien hominid guys.

How to survive seems good and bad at the same time. It ends on the 29 so I think I'll try to sell cards and see if I can buy it with that card money
I haven't played it in ages but it's probably the grimiest, filthiest game I've ever played, aesthetically. I felt like taking about 8 boiling-hot showers every time I was done with it.
Which I suppose was the whole idea, so kudos to them for that, I guess.
It also had some fairly neat ideas as far as party mechanics and such, but the A.I. and general encounter design wasn't up to the task.

It was removed about a month ago. I've played the first three quarters on 360. I didn't enjoy it, it was a pretty bad game IMO. Most of the characters are completely useless (the game is built around allowing you to switch between characters), AI sucks, it's ugly as hell, combat isn't great, story and dialogue are terrible. weapons feel poor. It's been a number of years since I played it so maybe I'd feel differently now.
Awesome game had it on wii.
Enjoy!
Enjoy!

I'm guessing thanks to the early access funding, Godus is still in development and is finally starting to reach its full potential...

I hoped for somewhat better impressions, but seems likes it's worth a try regardless, at least to determine how bad it exactly is. Haven't played a shooter in a while, so it'll be a nice change of pace regardless of how the actual game plays. Downloading it now.
But isn't that infinite?

If you like skirmish and MP in RTS yes, its pretty complete unit and ai wise, its very playable, I love it. Crashes sometimes but very enjoyable.

My opinion is that the game will be good.

Quick save a lot, and are you using texture mod? It gets a bit unstable in Denerim, maybe try the 4GB patch, the game only uses 2, and crashes when it goes over that number.
By all means, give it a shot. The squad stuff is pretty cool and I didn't hate my time with it. It just didn't quite fulfill some of the promise it had. It's still something I'd much prefer to play over your generic, middling shootbang like, I dunno, Homefront.

Yeah it doesn't manage to bring it all together. It tries though, which makes it worth a look.
I have to say I'm a bit surprised by the love for Tropico. Nothing bad to say about it, I just always thought it was kind of a throw away franchise.
How long does it take to really get into it?
Some old stuff. None of it should be taken. Enjoy!

Oh... Looks like the 4gb patch might have done it... I've been playing for 20 minutes and no crash or missing textures... Thanks!

You're welcome
I'm in for Super Hexagon!
Ack! YouTube has just conspired against me.
I was watching AVGN's take on SimCity (SNES). The opening 5 seconds of the SNES title-screen music brought back a wave of nostalgia that sent me immediately to IsThereAnyDeal.com to see current price status of the SimCity (2013), a title I knew to steer clear off, but was always curious about either way.
Turns out EA/Origin is having a weekend sale with loads of titles 40% off. SimCity came out to $17.99, a price that seemed fair enough to satisfy that curiosity.
Now I've gone and done it, haven't I?

Bethesda isn't going to flip the switch on Wolf14's pre-load until Monday.
Yeah. A 40GB+ game will have a pre-load period of 24 hours. Bethesda out-R*'d R*.
He's collecting the wrong games!

Silly cave men and their dial up, it will be done for me in a few hours.
Save us google
In order:
1) Microsoft has yet to formally announce the shutdown of GFWL, but at this point it's the world's worst-kept secret
2) R* updated GTA4's store page to say that it cannot guarantee continued online functionality, which is tacit admission that no patch will be issued
3) Dark Souls' app is as dead as ever, but considering Scamco took the time (and money) to patch out GFWL from Ace Combat, of all games, it's all but assuredly only a matter of time before Dark Souls receives the same treatment
It was a rather lonely experience, since summoning/getting summoned is busted. Most of the time you'll be stuck for waiting for someone to appear and it never happens. I completed it, but I was looking forward to a better online.

Sort of like playing Demon Souls at this point. If you want worthwhile summons you just need to play at the same time as a friend.
Big thanks to Mavromatis for gifting me 100% Orange Juice.
Come GameSpy's death there'll be no master server, but you'll still be able to connect to servers directly. In practice, nothing will change all that much.

Played through Anna today. That was an.....interesting experience
I left my sign outside of the Smough & Ornstein battle, and it worked a couple of times. It was a great way to practice so I could take them down on my own. Other than that spot, it was a pain in the butt waiting and waiting for it to work.
I feel like a broken record here, but there really is no risk in waiting. Game will still function after the shutdown, your save will still work.
Best case scenario Namco patches the game.

Look on the bright side. You could have bought a real piece of trash like Extreme Paintbrawl. Instead, you only bought a mildly garbage game.
Thanks for the dawn of war retribution dlc!
I keep hearing that the game is already dying.

Hope springs eternal... but I just can't see it happening. I just don't think the current id crew has the capabilities to strong-arm the subgenre back to modern relevance with the current landscape.

I'll half-agree, half disagree, on account I technically think Killing Floor is better than the old Doom games, but I also understand that it's different and people feel differently, on-top of the fact Killing Floor hasn't had the impact that Doom has had (and there's fan-made versions of most of Doom 1's and 2's maps in Killing Floor).
