Force-field strong enemy, make them watch you slaughter everything else, once they get out? Crushing prison.
good times.
Really hope they make a sequel one day. The expansion pack was decent, but I wanted more.
Physical PC games? What a blast from the past. I've had a gaming PC for close to two years now and I have yet to touch a PC game on a disc. Toss that shit and go with Steam.

Quickly going through the big mods on Nexus it doesn't look like it. The DA mod manager somebody else linked works fine though.

So I used GFWL the other day and now as I try to boot up Bulletstorm it won't let me and it won't let me sign into Windows Live to see what's up. Says my account is blocked for some reason when I've done nothing. Had to call support and I guess I'm getting an email to show me how to get this code to unlock my account.

The GAF Steam Summer Sale thread, where everybody on GAF becomes the id to every other member on GAF. Do it. Do it. Buy everything.
Speaking of buying everything, I haven't played a Sim City since Sim City 2000 waaaaaay back in the day. Is Sim City 4 worth it? For comparison, the latest city simulation I played/bought was Tropico 4 and I enjoyed that. Would Sim City 4 be up my alley?

Yes, have some self control. One copy is plenty my child.

You can redeem those keys through Origin and save yourself some money, but who wants to do that.
Disclaimer: I did exactly that and don't own DA: Origins on Steam.

It was the cheapest way to get the game near launch. You guys make it easy to justify my laziness.
I did the exact same thing with Assassin's Creed Brotherhood.

Awesome, Dragon Age Origins Ultimate Edition was one sale I was hoping for, wasn't sure if it'd show up due to Bioware/EA/Origin weirdness. Definitely buying it for 7.50$.
I experienced something like that recently. I can't remember exactly what happened, but I hadn't touched GFWL for at least a couple months and I had to re-verify my account due to some kind of funny business.

I don't think anyone answered this...
Is there any DRM other than steam in the DA:O Ultimate edition? Steam doesn't mention it but it's not always correct.

If you haven't used your Live account in a while you get that. My account was completely shut down for around 4 months and I had no idea. I sold the 360 and hadn't used my Live account for a while. Had to reactivate it.
You can do this? I wish I had known when my laptop's drive died.

Excellent. Bought then.
No one answered it because no one asked it (or it got buried)
And no. It has EACore drm, which sometimes bugs out but it's easily fixable. It just runs a service and if it bugs you have some things you can do to fix it.

Just did that AND I also have an old email I can't get rid of because it tries to send it to the old ISP email which I haven't used in like a year.
To customer support I go again ><
I just used a GFWL game not that long ago either so I don't get it.
Recetear I haven't played yet, expect to do so soon.
Aside from the screen resolution options, Chantelise is a pleasant surprise. I had no idea this game was 3D.
But what's up with how Fortune Summoners uses the controller?
I scrolled up and down the menu like 900 MPH, and my character moves ultra-fast too.
I tried turning down the sensitivity, but it still does that. Did they test this?

I'm clueless about Dragon Age but the ring of UE is too tempting now.

never knew it had a somewhat active mod scene. welp DA Ultimate Edition get. I'll eventually want to replay it again.
Skip The Fade Mod
Does as named. And only removes the tedious portions while keeping the story bits.

It was nearly a victim of the worst marketing campaign ever by EA. That it is awesome as it turned out, yet I was so completely turned off by the marketing done. SMH
It's probably Bioware's best RPG in a while. And it can be nicely modded, so feel free to hit:
The Dragon Age Nexus
Everything from racier sex scenes to removing helmets and having an extra character slot just for your Mabari Hound (loved that one). Plus the in game banter between companions is fantastic.

That is awesome. Definitely using that one whenever I play it again.

The PC version of Hot Pursuit has no anti-aliasing? Really? Wow. I'm not even sure I can force it through CCC. At least it was only 5 bucks? :I
I own it and SoC. It's just Clear Sky that I don't own yet.
I've heard Stalker was a pretty hard game to get into. But it always looked intriguing. Just what I need, more options.

Ok, so far:
Trine 2.
The Binding of Isaac: Wrath of the Lamb.
Star wars: KOTOR.
Vessel.
Frozen Synapse.
Indie Bundle V (Audiosurf, Greed Corp, Gemini Rue, The Tiny Bang Story, Ys: The Oath in Felghana)
Red Faction: Guerrilla
Just Cause 2.
Dragon Age: Origins - Ultimate Edition
All for <35€. Not bad. Trying to keep my budget to the price of one AAA game at launch.
