Put several hours into Saints Row IV so far, really enjoyed my time with it, but you can see how the engine Volition created for Saints Row The Third, specifically the streaming system, is really being taxed and pushed by the speed through the player can zip through the world. Things like ambient pedestrians don't load properly, it takes a while for the menu, sometimes it takes a while for interiors to load in and become accessible or something as basic as holstering your weapons to become responsive after you've zipped through a large portion of the open world. I've also encountered a few hangs where the game completely freezes and I almost alt-tabbed to kill the .exe a few times but after waiting a bit the game catches up and resumes functioning.
Those hiccups aside, Saints Row IV is a tremendously enjoyable game. Setting-wise it's basically Enter the Matrix, only with aliens instead of robots. Gameplay-wise it's just Crackdown with shades of Infamous. You can leap over tall buildings in a single bound, run as fast as The Flash, virtually fly for blocks, shoot energy projectiles and then do all of the typical GTA-ish stuff on top of that. Not that you'll want to use cars beyond the missions where you're supposed to steal specific ones.
Really glad I picked it up during a sale.

I was so disappointed in the game. I refuse to believe that someone would put so much time into it. Did i missed something in the game?
As i understood, the tornado and all the other natural disasters from the other episodes were a cause of the time jumping and would get worse and worse with each jump. I did sacrifice chloe and what max did was jumping back to he moment where she got her powers and then watched chloe die in the fight with Nathan, basically undoing all the timejumping of hers, like the game never happened and therefore also undoing the natural disasters.

Curating a sizable backlog is a skill, not a burden. Finding those deals and procrastinating constantly takes a lot of effort--more than one would think.
Oh, the life of a Steam gamer.
If'fy will have a press event in San Francisco (on December 3rd)
They are having contest for two fans to attend in case you are there and interested and lucky

They will announce next year's lineup, hopefully everything will be on steam too.

It's pretty hard to screw up "man goes around at party killing people". You probably got frustrated with the clairvoyancy of the cops who chase you. There are plenty of ways to work around it.
It's probably the most fun I've had in a game this year.

We can't let indie studios like Ubisoft be pressured by big publishers, imagine if they were forced to release yearly version of their games.

Whatever happened to woo and indeed hoo?
Also missing in action is a statement from GMG about the fate of our wallet credits.
wait what?
for independence from what Ubi has to fight? the rest of its fans?
I need to get to playing it soonish, not to mention Borderlands VN, which will be odd indeed, considering I still haven't played even Borderlands ... and not that I don't want to, where to buy some time? with 75% discount at least, I need lots of it.

I need also to know whether I should use my credits soon before it's rumoured expiration
Probably this

Vivendi wants to get back to gaming industry
Everytime I hear Vivendi's name regards to the entertainment industry I remember the spoof opening from The Big Lebowski.
Of course they did start out as a water processing company many, many moons and different names ago.

Talking about Ubi, I got that e-mail about Ubi club and uplay win, have read it two times just to be sure I'm not missing anything, it goes like this:
blah blah blah, yadda yadda yadda, nothing changed
yours Ubi
thanks for letting me know, Ubi, I guess
oh!
Thanks
edited: but it's less than 7% of shares, that's hardly something to fight against

Good job getting the Slim, it's the superior version
Thanks for your help in saving videogames
finally! I already thought we will never see this question asked again, being in community and all
it started Oct 29 in previous years, so it probably will be the same this year.
OP should include statement that nobody reads OP too, no?

That HTC A9 thread is hilarious, it's like the ironic "Apple invented..." comic and remarks coming to life.

Kind of weird, they bought the rights but in the Kickstarter update they don't seem to really have any idea about the future of the game. I don't know why you would buy it unless you were planning to do something with it.
android/phone threads are always like that
that's why i don't post there that much
"You don't have the last phone that was released month ago ? bffff , what a poor man"

that's cute
that's what I thought
Pretty much every statement from the devs was "sales are bad, we're bleeding money"
Did they already sent out codes?

Rebellion probably picked it up for a song. With the pre-existing assets, prior awareness and the fact that it's a new IP, they could push out a couple nice digital-only titles for it.

In my email it said it would be added to my Steam account before the start date.

...Okay, fair enough.
The answer was there, but someone was already kind enough to tell you, so...yeah.
They first need to see how coding is done and get familiar with that code. After that they can promise things regarding game itself. There is nothing worse than getting someone else work to finish.
Umh, did you receive the mail today or when the closed beta sign up went online last week?
I have nothing in my mail anyway.

Got the email 10 hours ago.
EDIT: Re-read the email, it's for the closed alpha but isn't the one you get with Wolfenstein, that's a beta I'll get access to at another time.
I submitted my entry on their site, but I bought Wolfenstein from GMG (the site told me I was eligible, but I guess I'm not in the closed beta at this point).
