I want to buy one of the Bit Trip ganes.

But which one?

I'd say go with Runner. I have Beat on my iPhone and Runner on my PC, but I've enjoyed Runner more than Beat. Beat may be better on the big screen, though.

You guys honestly thought that Crapcom would do something nice for gamers?

The same one that is shitting on paying customers with DRM and no resave on RE: Mercenaries?

The last good thing they've done is bringing TvC Westside.

I thought bringing AE to PC was pretty nice of them

Isn't it just possible that the SSF4:AE sale price was a daily deal planned for another day? Why else would they have the additional 10% for owning SF4 if it was a mistake?

Guys remember that MoH includes a beta key for BF3, question is... does that key is worth 10 bucks to you?

Owners of Medal of Honor will also receive an invitation to the beta for another highly-anticipated EA shooter, Battlefield 3™.
Battlefield 3 is the latest entry in the award-winning shooter franchise from DICE in Stockholm, Sweden.

Oh hell yes. Loved the game when in beta. Why I never actually bought the game is beyond me. That BF3 beta key alone.

Is there any way you can see a history of what has been downloaded, such as updates?
Click to expand...

Steam client -> at the bottom it will say "1 item complete" or "18 items downloading" or whatever the case may be. -> click on that to get your recent download history.

Yeah, and listening to fans about the constant Internet connection to access all characters. Although that should have never been an issue in the first place.

Probably not considering it's not out and it's Capcom.

Just got a perfect in 1-1 of runner (it's very easy) and it's not being recognized. Think that challenge might be borked, for now.

I've already done the Sword and Soldiers level twice, meeting the conditions, and no achievement either.

It's possible. You should get your hopes up.

I don't get the BEAT achievement at all. What on earth does "1-1" even mean? First part of the first level? Yeah, it's not really hard to perfect it. Still, nothing shows up.

Yes buy it! You get LAST STAND which is a 3 person hero based Horde mode. Retribution alone comes with fun single player campaigns for what... 6-7 different races? All you need is to play the ORKKKKK campaign for shits and giggles. Its really not crazy the single player game like a standard RTS, you have fun basically with your units, getting loot and leveling up, while partaking in a good story.

Get it!! WARGHHHH!

Awww crap, now I'm seriously tempted :)
So, the storylines are better than in Dark Crusade? If so I'm buying it.

For someone who doesn't buy games for the sake of collecting them, would any of these games be worth it at full retail price? (aka great game, not 'for that price you could get it').
Click to expand...

I bought Borderlands at launch as part of a 4 pack. Think it was £23, so that rounds out to about 9p an hour so far.

There's a 1-1 in Runner. I think they messed it up.

It's a promotional thing, it's not supposed to be hard. Also, it's probably borked atm

If I already own Street Fighter IV and PC and have installed it before, can I put my serial key onto STEAM to get a STEAM version so I can get a deeper discount with Arcade Edition in the future?

Its the exact same as the digital release.

I think the digital copy on GOG has the "most" stuff since it's from the dev themselves.. but Steam isn't far behind. I am sure it's comparable at worst to physical. You can't register it on Steam unless you buy from it (sadly).

I'm pretty sure you can't since the game isn't Steamworks.

And I just was payed and have in hand 1000 euros.
FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

I just payed a lot at my trip to Los Angeles, dont make me want to spend more mone :(

OK, opinions time!
How good are this games:

-BTTF
-TDU2 (I played 1 and was fun for some time, but im interested in the Ibiza setting as Im from Spain)
-Borderlands (heard the PC version was not good)
-Bit Trip Runner (I like Bit Trip Beat, but also think is very difficult)

Convince me to not buy this games, good sirs!
Click to expand...

BTTF was great. It was considered easy by those that play adventure games a lot. I as someone who doesn't play them I bought it twice once on PC and once on PS3 due to how much I loved it. It really seems like it could have been BTTF 4. If you're a big BTTF fan without a doubt buy it. If you aren't and are a big adventure game fan then you'll probably find it easy as hell but still enjoyable.

Borderlands GOTY still sits at 49,99 € for me. Vanilla is 4,99€, DLC pack is 5,99€, so I'm guessing the prize will be fixed by tomorrow.

Only picked up Oblivion so far :)

Doubt it, but it doesn't hurt to try. Isn't SF4 GFWL?
