Thank you Dacvak, at least someone has common sense here.

Hot Pursuit please.
Driver San Francisco is fantastic
I voted for Hot Pursuit since it's also fantastic and SF was recently on sale though.

Voted for Driver. Hope it gets it, but I have had terrible luck on the community choices thus far.
Done. Hot Pursuit is a really awesome game for what it's worth from the hours I've already spent on it. Wish I hadn't bought on Amazon now though lol

Different games do it differently, you can't know without googling :/
Edit: what i meant to say was downloading Game Save Manager to back up your saves
Thanks again for that. This program is fantastic.
Driver San Francisco is AMAZING

Wasn't the Bioshock Franchise Pack $7.49? Or was it from Amazon?
How is the game good Salsa? I bought it and the only redeeming feature is the switch drivers. But the world is plain, the graphics are garbage, and the game is just so dry, I might as well send it to the Sahara desert.
ALSO IF YOU VOTE DRIVER YOU ARE VOTING FOR UBISOFTS DRM! YOU ARE THE PLAGUE!
It usually takes a while for the packs to update with the proper discount.

I'm glad to see it getting so much love.
It's one of the best games I've ever played.

Orcs Must Die 2 with the pre-order bonus 10% off being in the top 20 kind of shows how underwhelming the past two days have been.
That or during a Steam sale is a surprisingly good time to release your game on Steam.

Fuck Driver.
Every Driver game I've ever played has been terrible. I usually trust GAF, but this time I just have to go with my own personal history - every other Driver game has sucked, so why would this one be any different?
I also really, really want a new, solid racing game on my PC. I'd even take Burnout or something. NFS:HP definitely hits the mark, though.
Yeah, agreed.

And vote for EA instead? LOL, No. I'd rather vote for Shitty TDU2 in that case. At least I got a hilarious Quicklook out of that one.

FOR GOD'S SAKE DON'T VOTE TDU2! Bought it originally on 360 when it first released. One of the most horrible handling driving games I've ever played. Not to mention the insipid story, mediocre visuals, and horrible menus. Avoid at all costs!
Now with that being said, I voted for Driver because I already have Hot Pursuit on Origin. :3

im really conflicted... i just bought the retina macbook
and all these steam games are so cheap like under $5
but i have all of them already on PS3/360 hot pursuit, just cause 2, oblivion to name a few.... id rather not spend the money and just turn on my ps3 but its just...... $5.....
would i normally throw $20 down the drain? probably not. sigh!

You know, I'll be honest. It doesn't matter at all what "GAF" votes for. We've all collectively voted for things that have lost in a landslide before. Really, our votes probably don't matter.
Sorry for using the F word. Vote as you like. =P

No Minerva's Den for Steam (PC?) Bioshock 2? I hear that's the only reason to even get that game.
TDU2's world is pretty big. And there's 2 islands in the game, tons of gameplay if you like open world. Might be considered tedious for some but it's huge

Driver is my favorite but you have to deal with UPlay. Hot Pursuit is also pretty damn fun(not as imo) but you have to deal with EA. Don't bother with TDU.

I've heard good things about Test Drive Unlimited 2.

Hey, I just bought the retina macbook, too. Assuming you got the 15" one (at 2.6ghz), it's fantastic at handling games. Been playing Saints Row 3 and Crysis 2 at 60fps on their respective high settings. As long as you have Windows installed, you should absolutely be buying games for your new machine - it's a freaking beast!

Is u-play as bad as GFWL? 'Cause I can't vote for that.
Well if it wins then I'll check it out. If it doesn't win I save a few bucks. Win-win.
Although I have a pretty good feeling the two islands are the outer islands so I won't recognize squat.

Voting for Driver.
Been waiting for this one to come up.

edit: well since it's the first post in the page, might as well add this title to the post
Regarding Driver: San Francisco
It's a completely different game with a whole new set of mechanics that completely change the game from what driver has been before. It also has superb, actually funny writing and a nice story that never takes itself too seriously.
The idea of "pulling out" of your drivers conciousness and possesing any other car in the cty in real time is amazingly well pulled off. There are a lot of variations to the mechanic encouraged by different instances (possesing other cars on the opposite direction to crash your opponents, having to destroy a particular car by getting a heavy one and crashing it, having to race with many cars at once, trying to come out both first and second in a single race).
Each character you posses in one of the missions or side missions is a person with a different personality and in a different situation that has its own story, so you basically go around in many different tid bits of story from different character's perspectives wich generates the good writing I was talking about (the dialogues are fantastic), and in main story missions gives you a good perspective on what's going on with the story from different perspectives, not just your main character's.
It's great, great stuff and since day 1 it was pretty damn clear that it has barely anything to do with any other Driver game.
I get your point, I also hate every single Driver game (yes even the first one, hate me all you want) but this one blew me away. If you dont believe me just gather general opinion through reviews and whatnot, it was really succesfull critically, even if it didnt sold much.
what im saying is: I know you want Hot Pursuit, but if Driver wins: buy it.
