If you manage to get a team with a good commander and a team that follows his orders, it's amazing. But unfortunately that don't happen that often. :(

Ok, first of all I know I am late so please don't kill me. *runs*

I just got to playing Portal 2 for the first time ever and this game is amazing. It's simply such a fresh experience in Gaming, I'm loving the narration and the puzzles are a nice change from all the shooting and the killing. I'm just happy to have a wider choice every now and then with the genres of the games we have. This is why I think I become a fan of Indies lately, because sometimes a change is good and needed.

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.
Since everyone is weighing in on Sleeping Dogs I thought I'd throw my hat in the ring as well.

I was fortunate enough to get in on the "glitch" that let me get Sleeping Dogs and (at the time) all of the DLC for 91% off. At the time, I thought all of the DLC was either story DLC or cosmetic changes.

By itself, the base game seemed great and really had potential. I really enjoyed the first hour or so where you're introduced to the story, the game mechanics, etc.

Then... then I got the part where you get your apartment for the first time, and all of the DLC "unlocked". This completely ruined the experience as it instantly leveled me up to near maximum and gave me a lot of overpowered skills.

I probably played another 10 minutes or so before turning the game off and uninstalling it, never to return.

Please please please read up on the DLC before you purchase any. There have been a few lists already in this thread but if you're unsure, install Enhanced Steam and steer clear of anything labeled "Pay to Unlock".

I probably would have really enjoyed progressing normally through the game. It's a shame the devs see fit to release this sort of game-breaking DLC.

This is a case where I could understand asking steam to remove things from your account, and I might just do that. I played SD without any DLC, but bought all of it during the glitch. Sounds like a mistake.

My personal best game of the forever. And once you are through find yourself a nice buddy and play the best coop you have ever played.


EDIT: Also, nice seeing all the Kaylees here. To think it started with a small innocent thought of "what if..." and parallel universes.
to be honest anytime anything about alternate dimensions or parallel universes comes to mind I am thinking of Firefly Season 2 and beyond :(

The Secret World, DmC... must refrain. I'll grab Dark Souls if it makes a reappearance, but otherwise...no more.

No...no more.

If I remember correctly there are guides online that walk through the steps of disabling the DLC. Lemme look and see if I can find them again.

What is wrong with the DMC3 port?
its an old game, I'd imagine a modern rig could chew through any performance problems.

Man, I just installed OutRun 2006 again just to annoy everyone who can't get it on Steam, but cruising in that game is just so much damn fun

Glad you finally get to play it man, enjoy! And make sure to find a co-op buddy, the co-op is just as good, if not better, than the single player campaign!

There is definitely a way to delete it. I think you just need to remember to start a new save afterwards.

It's a terrible port full of glitches, missing effects, you need to be a wizard to use a X360 pad, framerate issues... Better off playing the one from the HD collection.

I just started playing the first one the other day, and I thought it was amazing, looks like I need to save some cards profit for the second one.

Damn you guys. Can't stop watching kaylee gifs now, she's so damn cute.

If there was only some new deals I could draw my attention to.
