The best Sim City was the one on the SNES. It wasn't overly-complicated. I did like Sim City 3000 though, didn't care for Sim City 4.

Good for you, without some sort of backlog I'd have 5-20 minutes on every game I own and zero games finished, zero actually enjoyed. Not something I'd like.

I have 10 bucks set aside from my SS budget and they have "Galactic Civilizations II" written all over them. They're untouchable. If it shows up as daily or flash, even better.

So you have to impose rules on yourself to enjoy your hobby?
What do u recon the chance is that there trying to keep people on consoles for the ease of play factor? i wouldnt be surprised..... in all honesty it would make sense in a way if there planning to realse a Xbox 720 or watever the F the new outdated PoS thing will be
basically says I have no internet connection and that I should try opening a webpage.
It gives me a troubleshoot option that doesnt detect any problem
I really just dont know what to do other than curse this piece of crap further and prevent anyone from ever having to deal with it. I literally have no idea how to move forward from this, it gives me no option and it was working fine (by fine I mean like crap, but working) less than 20 minutes ago. This is the less user friendly experience ive ever had. Just nothing to do.
More like 5-20 minutes on stuff that didn't float your boat and then an entire lifetime and some on the stuff you like.
This is what I hope happens, I hope everyone who buys dark souls will get fucked over by GFWL so I can sick back, drink some pubby tears while going:

How does one backup game saves?
Also, how do I move my games to a different HDD?

If i was you and had a bit of spare time up my sleave id just fucking ring microsoft support and Ream there Tech's lol...... ive actually spoken to MS tech b4 when i couldnt get my fucking 360 to stream wirlessly, they do Try to help you at least instead of just fobbing you off..... But there not to cluely unless u get put on to someone higher up, then you have to wait for a call back, but at least they may have a few suggestions u wouldnt have thought of
And what's wrong with that exactly?
I'm not saying I don't launch random stuff when I feel like it, especially open-ended games, but I usually avoid starting a game with a start and a definite end if I'm already in the middle of another one, because I'd end up leaving one of them hanging. Simply put, I like to finish what I start (if the game doesn't suck etc, I'm not that strict of course).
There's a huge number of games that actually becomes pretty good after the first few hours (thinking about rpgs, you can't really understand if they're good until the plot pans out a bit and the combat system unlocks all of its features). I wouldn't want to miss out on those but that's me and I can see that some people might lack the patience to endure those few hours.
Offline mode will hopefully save the day.

The problems you're going through, and thinking back to my save corruption issue with Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet, I'm having second thoughts about Dark Souls even more.

Well, hey. I won't complain about this one since it's at least a NEW deal this Summer Sale. About time we stopped seeing the three-peat deals. But I'm not buying GoT for that price. Bargain basement or bust, since I heard it's not great.
Get another company other than Cyanide to make the GoT games. PLEASE!

All I did was exit the game normally, go back to play it awhile later, attempt to load the game and I got a message saying it was corrupted. I was also at the very end. This "service" needs to be done away with, and I'm sure it eventually will be gone. But it's a shame that a lot of good games had to suffer from it.

Is it possible to use a 360 controller on the PC via a Play and Charge kit?
I didn't get it yet. Delays.
Yeah same for me, I really don't get the hate.
Sure, playing SMB with a controller is better, but the keyboard is more than fine.

Google says no and that you need a receiver
Nope, Microsoft is a bunch of greedy bastards.
I have it.

No, it's a charge only cable.
Poor From Software. Want to support... cannot support.
No there's no signal in the play and charge, just power. You need a usb dongle if you want to run a wireless 360 pad on PC but beware some games are not compatible.

That's what I did for AA and AC. Everyone who ran the game with an online "Live" profile had to download an update to GFWL as soon as the game finished installing and many faced similar roadblocks as Salsa.
With an offline profile, I've never been prompted to download a single thing related to the GFWL client. Install game, choose "offline" profile, game launches. Unfortunately, the Harley DLC requires an online profile so I'm SOL. Whatever.

It's much more likely that the state of GFWL is a result of poor planning, inadequate resources and/or incompetence than the result of intentional sabotage. You can still blame their console business if you want because that's where most of their resources are allocated but I don't think it's a sinister conspiracy.

Thanks for the quick responses. Oh well, I can use a PS3 controller with MotionJoy instead.
Dont think so dude i tried that a while ago, i never tried looking for a solution but its certainly not plug n play, pretty sure it only charges doesent send any information but i could be wrong....
If u wanna buy a controller may i recommend a Razer Onza, Pro edition if u have the Dosh... There amazing... and have an extra 2 macro/ bindable buttons
As much as I love the onza, the build quality is a piece of shit. Within 6 months the right trigger stopped working. Unless they fixed it, I would go with the official xbox controller
28 hours poured into Borderlands vanilla content. Now to get started on the DLC.
If you haven't played Borderlands and you're even the slightest bit interested in RPG's, but this game before the sale ends. Please.
Really happy with my purchases so far:
Borderlands GOTY
Batman: Arkham Aslyum GOTY (total impulse purchase, just like when I bought Bioshock 1 & 2 last Halloween, haven't completed those yet either, yay for backlog)
Fallout new Vegas Ultimate Edition
Total War Megapack
£24 spent so far, not even the average cost of one new release PC game. Come at me Steam, come at me.
