Hilarious, I love games with such anti-piracy "measures". Any other you can think of? I think Crysis had the chicken-thing, DSouls2 the screamer...

I think serious sam had one where immortal scorpions would spawn and hunt you. People who want a challenge pirate the game on purpose and play like this to maximise difficulty lol

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.

My favorite was Earthbound for the SNES. If you were playing on a pirated cartridge, or an emulator (at the time, they've now long since all been updated to counteract this) the game would spawn a crazy amount of enemies.

If you happened to make it to the end of the game, the game was designed to freeze on the last boss and erase all of your save files.

I was listening to Coldplay - Magic (Official video) while reading about Metro Redux - Announcement Trailer (Summer 2014, Xbox One, PS4, PC) and glimpsing some Metro videos and it felt so good. Apparently the rumor was that they will release it in July.

Hah, nice! Your post (unintentionally) shamed me into giving it one more try and the stars aligned and I got the right level at the right time on my first go.

Game complete! However, I'm stuck at like 98%. Is it really counting the item/monster logs? No amount of posts can shame me into grinding the entire game over and over until the final boss drops his log...
Click to expand...

Hm, never paid much attention to the "game complete" meter before. My approach is usually more "I'm done with the game when I don't feel like playing it any more". I'm still missing several monster logs, and my game shows as 92% complete, so it probably is that last log that's throwing you.

Did you get the hidden achievement? The
Survive in lava for one minute
one?

Serious Sam 3 had immortal scorpions I believe. Michael Jackson The Experience on the Nintendo DS replaced the music with Vuvuzelas :lol:

Does Will Arnett voice the game still? I have to pick it up on the cheap if so.
Click to expand...

When I played I was sure the voices were the same as the actors. I'm not sure if the jokes were cut from the final film and then used in the game.

For example, Batman's line of 'I work in dark grey and black' that featured in the trailer but never came out in the film is in the game. I don''t want to spoil any of the jokes but I was pleasantly surprised.

Is the LEGO Movie game the same affair as the other LEGO games or is there anything to shake it up?
Click to expand...

It's the same style as the rest, just with the film characters really. There's a dance minigame and a weird building minigame but they are relatively pointless. The game does stand out due to the narrative/jokes though.

Is it illegal to "pirate" things you own? Its sort of like instaling from steam.
Click to expand...

Depends on your country's laws I guess. Most allow you to keep backups, which would make pirating it sorta legal. In my country pirating is actually not illegal at all, provided that you don't profit/use the pirated copies comercially. It's legal do pirate for personal uses but it's illegal to say, burn something to a dvd and sell it.

I tried it with a friend but for some reason we could not get it to work

i cant wait for it to all be out so that the season gets real cheap. I want to play it all but, after buying the first season of the walking dead at $20 and then having to wait for each episode to come out, meh, i can't deal with waiting for episodes to come out anymore. Rather play it all over a weekend instead.

That's my rule as well.

Great Amazon sale going on. Wanted AVP, and the bundle deal (Don't Die) was too good to pass up. Thief is from the "Free Thief" promotion that ended earlier this month, I think. Good luck! :)

Yeah just noticed. Seems to be available on Linux/SteamOS now. Be interesting to see how that performs actually.

Yeah it started doing that for me this afternoon but was fine the other day. Hoping I can catch it before it starts redownloading again to turn off updates or it's going on pause until Friday.

There's no way to transfer amazon coins into credit for the store or do some kind of trade right? I have 20 dollars worth of credit but would much rather spend that on the games Enemy Within and the Burnout Paradise dlc.

Nope, unfortunately not since Amazon Coins are non-transferable.

So I suppose some of you have seen this amazon digital deal sale thing: http://www.amazon.com/b/?_encoding=...959011&tag=sec2002-20&linkId=NZNH2TR6XTWJJLZZ

I've been looking for something like the Metro pack (both games + DLC). It's coming for $12.50. Is that a good price? Anyone see a better one anywhere?

Are those games even good?
Click to expand...

Both games are great.Metro Redux is coming out this summer though. It includes all games+ all DLC and has an updated engine and additional modes. It will cost more but it's definitely worth it
