I might look into the inevitable 980 Ti when it comes out.

Fun little old school style platformer.
If you're into tough platformers you'll end up digging it.
Yeah, if I had 4GB 670s I'd skip the current crop and wait for the "proper" Maxwell cards, but alas. If there are 8GB 970s by the time I'm ready to upgrade I may opt for a pair of them depending on the premium. I suspect 4GB VRAM will be fine for the foreseeable future as far as <1080p is concerned, however I wouldn't mind paying for piece of mind if the price is right.

Skyrim is probably the best book stealing videogame I've ever played. I've already acquired over 100 books.
I don't have a problem :|
Voted yes on that one. I really should get around to playing the original version though.
Batman Arkham Origins: Definitively Okay Edition
That looks pretty cool. Might compliment backloggery nicely.
The Russian price is pretty good but I think I'll wait a while on it. The base price is not what I would like it to be, either.
It's been a while since I've played a DB game, hopefully this one is really good.
Truly the videogame equivalent of the "what's the matter brother?" image.
Now I want Copons' avatar plastered onto that Lightning gif :|
But you're a fridge, not a pizza
And it's apparently not available in the US ;____;
One day I'll own it on PC. Probably should have just bought it during the summer sale.

Because nobody awarded it as GotY when it came out lol
Anyway, the only worthy DLC for Batman AO is Cold, Cold Heart, IMHO.

I was just reading up on a thread where people request a Steam Wishlist Import feature for howlongtobeat.com: http://www.howlongtobeat.com/forum.php?&thread=104&page=1
Someone in that thread is developing a new stat tracking website.
I know there are already a bunch but I think it's worth mentioning here:

Were you able to do this in ff3 as well?
Just recall different magic staffs that I had that didn't do shit.
Really enjoyed the first one but the Greenlight description makes it sound like the "sequel" isn't the same type of game, which is really disappointing. Seems bizarre that it has to go through Greenlight.

For me I'll take the sequel.
I appreciates that they tried basically persona social links the game. But I felt it didn't work out very well.

I just hope Kojima doesn't tone down the ludicrous and very OT-heavy cutscenes in length.
I loved them.
I loved it, but as Lomax says its humor is a bit weird and could turn you off. Besides that, is a nice metroidvania (although is more an homage to MSX's Maze of Galious than anything else) with a clunky UI. The inventory is painful at times.
Is not a short game either. Around 20 hours for a playthrough and it has extra coop levels.
not worth it
i mean if this were new vegas then maybe i'd care enough for it to launch it from somewhere other than steam but didn't do it for mass effect, not gonna do it for this

I should probably wait for winter sale discount on Killer is Dead. I think it will be $5
What processor do you have?
Just got Splinter Cell Blacklist and Tropico 4 Collectors Bundle for 6 keys.
Feels good
Does anyone still need the Tropico 4 Collector Bundle? I'm sure everyone already got it when the price glitch happened.
What makes it worth it over Vanilla 4?
Why the hell do you need a graphics card? You never play games.
ass creed bro
The Collectors Bundle has all the DLCs I think.
They tried to Persona 3/4 S-link but the scope of the game was so shallow it ended up being not much of anything.

I don't think "play" is the right word.
I have an i5 3570k. I'm considering unlocking it at some point, if it comes to it.
AssCreed games need the brute force.
You won't need an i7 anywhere in the near future, 'specially if you overclock your i5.. which you should.
It's a crude Metroidvania, more NES style than modern.
Gameplay is solid enough, if repetitive and lacking complexity. Mostly running around bashing indistinct, vaguely enemy shaped blobs, leveling up and trying different weapons.
RPG mechanics are mild but interesting enough to motivate.
Level design is not very exciting. Decent enough to explore, like an old school NES game, reminiscent of Faxanadu or Legacy of the Wizard. Also repetitive and lacking complexity. Everything is a flat platform or a ladder. Game progresses screen by screen, very old school.
Humor is beyond terrible. It's grating, irritating. Voice acting is awful. And there's way too much of this badly acted, badly written material. End of the game is better than beginning and middle, but that's a lot of bad to get to some mediocre stuff.
I'd give it a 6.5 out of 10. It's fun enough to play once but will often feel like a grind, will drag on a little too long with not enough "puzzle" type rooms, will irritate at times, and when you're done with it you'll be done with it forever.
While I did finish Brothers - A tale of two songs long time ago I decided to write my little impressions. You can also rate up or down by going to the review in the Steam page if you want.
In Brothers A Tale of two sons you need to work together so you can help your ill father. Making a game that push the emotional side may not be an easy task since everyone have their own personality, so while many can relate and feel empathy, to others the theme may just not click with them, at all. However, its best to play this game with an open mind, let yourself immerse in this small Story and see how important it is to work together for a good cause. While no game should ever be judged by its length, Brothers will not take you more than 3 to 5 hours to complete, yet, this is just the right amount of time to experience the adventure, to discover the world and to struggle in a place full of dangers -during day or night-, for a good cause, your father.
The way you control both brothers is not something many are used to and to some it was either annoying or hard to get around to some but I think it was a very creative idea. You see, a family is a very strong bond and should be something that you should cherish. Its common to have a little fight with your little/older brother or sister in real life and that does not mean you dont love him/her, it just mean that sometimes you need to adapt to a different way of thinking, a different taste in something, etc. The very same happens with the control scheme in this game, you need to train your brain to master both characters with each analog stick from your controller. It may not be easy at first but once you get used to, it gets a lot easier. And while youre still adapting to this and you end up getting each brother to a different direction, well, that may also happen in real life. Just remember to cherish the moments with him because you never know what may happen.
There are some puzzles in the game but neither proved to be a hard challenge. The game focus more on storytelling than gameplay mechanics and while you adventure further and further, take a moment to sit down, stop for a bit and just enjoy the scenery, which by the way, is breathtaking; just dont take too long, someone is waiting for you at home! Having an emotional focused game is always a risk but I believe Brothers managed to do it quite well in this short adventure with a strong ending and perhaps one or two surprises, just pay attention from the very start to make sure you dont miss any interesting bits from the story right from the start

I wanna say there are 4 total. They become progressively worse designed.
They doing a buttload of stuff with currencies. Shadow of mordor dropped down 2-3$ in russia as well.
You don't need an upgrade, though the i7's HT will actually be useful this generation.
I'm still an an OC'd 2500k and I will probably wait for Skylake to do an upgrade.

I'm still worried that Canada and Australia are going to be subsidizing you.
Well to answer your original question: No I don't have that.
That's good news. I guess it's more of a numbers game where I see one close to what I have and get concerned about it.

Keep in mind Recommend and Minimum settings are almost entirely bullshit, I generally put no stock in them.
This is coming from a guy running current-gen games on a midrange card that is nearly 5 years old.

I just played a round of Quake Live and wow Im a scrub
Geez, you're not kidding. 6 hours of idling for 45 cents worth of cards. What purpose is there for making it take so long to drop cards? What's in it for the developers?
