First SSF crashed at GFWL connect, now it won't even start. I'll never buy a Capcom game on PC again, dammit.

A reason you might not want to buy Vessel - it's in an Indie bundle a few days from now.

Day 7: Avadon, Dungeons of Dredmor, Qube, Vessel, Zombie Driver

Of course if you own the other 4, obviously $3.74 is a better deal than $9.99, but if you want at least 3 of them, you're better off waiting :)

Hmm, Qube and Vessel are the only two I don't have so I guess I'd be better off buying them now. Too bad I can't get giftable copies of the others.

Fuck.....YESSSS Vessel! I was about 10min away from ignoring the first rule and pulling the trigger at the 8$ price until I saw that the flash deal would update soon.

I don't really care for the other games in the bundle on wednesday so I'm a happy camper now!

Now the only game missing is ARMA 2!

Guess, I'll pass for now. The game is THAT good though.

There aren't many reason to turn on the PS3 these days. So, getting on the PC seemed logical.




I was hoping for something else. I played the demo and found it quite boring.


edit:


Yeah, this bugs me. The game is good enough that I was willing to look past it though.

I am telling you did get the PC version.

Wow people are having some seriously bad luck with uPlay and GFWL the past few days. For what it's worth, I put about 200 hours into Anno without experiencing issues with uPlay, but I can appreciate how annoying it would be if it went down considering they tied some major features/functionality (particularly for Continuous Mode) into being online-only for no good reason.

I'm already out of money! I already got Blood Money (everyone get it) last sale, are the other Hitman games recommendable?

You can't go wrong with Blood Money.

So is Contracts required to understand what's going on in story? I've only played part 2 and blood money. Never got to play part 1 cause I didnt have a PC and contracts just went under my radar at the time.

These days it's working like crap because of maintenance, I believe. A lot of people have been complaining lately because of that. I just couldn't play at all, after waiting for an eternity so the client could update the log in didn't work. I don't know if you played lately, but what before was a simple launcher is now a full client (pretty much like Origin). So now you have to launch it on Steam, and then do so again on the damn Uplay crap. And... That's it.

Interesting... I played and finished the game late last month. I just launched the game on steam, it brought up a pretty simple uPlay launcher, I pressed the big play button and it launched the game. No issues when I played.

The other games haven't age very well. Codename 47 is not very well optimized for fast PC. Controls are pretty bad for KB/M, Silent assassin very hard to play after playing Blood Money.

Might as well kill 3 birds with one stone/bundle.

This seems like a nice summary of the Hitman games http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=39896182&postcount=79:

Lancehead255 said:
Hitman: Codename 47 (played to completion)

For those who may not be familiar with the series, Hitman is a stealth/assassination game. The stealth here is not hiding but blending into the crowd, mainly through disguises. A typical level is very open-ended with multitude of ways to eliminate the targets. Mission rewards vary based on how messy or clean you do the job.

This game has not aged very well. The jungle levels are the worst. But there are some really good levels that are fun to play. The initial triad levels and the hotel level later on are what makes this game worth buying.

Hitman: Silent Assassin (played to completion)

The second game introduced a rating system for the missions. "Silent Assassin" is the coveted rating where the player manages to eliminate the targets without any alerts or collateral damage.

This game is a significant step forward from the first. The weapons, items (like syringes with sedatives and poison), level design are all improved for the most part. For those not familiar with the game mechanics, the first mission doesn't make any effort to explain said mechanics. So that could be a rough start. A nitpicking I have with the game is the painfully slow sneak speed.

Hitman: Blood Money (played to completion)

Blood Money is the definitive Hitman game to date (hopefully Absolution changes that). The controls are much better than any other previous game. Pretty much all levels are brilliant with one of the best open-level design to be found in games. The fact that any mission rating can be achieved in a number of ways, and there are multiple ratings, is a testament to the excellence of the level design. For the uninitiated, the first mission is linear handholding stuff that explains all the core mechanics. As for negatives, I don't like the final mission in this game. Much like in the second game, achieving the Silent Assassin rating on Pro difficulty is a most satisfying experience.

Guarantee I'm going to screw up this post? Yeah.
TWD is really good, I was only going to play a little bit of it and before I knew it I was finished with the first episode... ugh, I should have waited until all of the episodes were released to start playing.

WTF, can't start the Dirt 2 demo. Have it installed and everything, but trying to start it just takes me to the game's store page. No Dirt 2 for me then, I guess (wanna see how it runs on my computer before buying).

My dream (and I know it's never gonna happen) would be to have Flight Simulator X with Steam Workshop support.... Imagine all the thousands of addon you could easily install without having to rely badly designed 3rd party websites.

Stupid question, but do you have Live installed? Sounds like a familiar problem. Or maybe you need to download a Live hotfix? This sounds real familiar and odds are very high it's something to do with GFWL.
