Battlefield 3 was horribly slow for me too.
Game 3 of FTL, made it to the last sector but got destroyed early on. Not bad.

Now is a bit better but normally with Steam I get more than decent speeds and all my experience with Origin is never that good.

My guess is that the developers forgot there was a sale since it wasn't discounted the very first day. It became discounted on like the third day or something. So, doubtful that it'll be 75% but I quietly pray for it.

Managed to get to the final boss twice now. Only unlocked one new ship. How can I unlock more ships? Anyone know anything?

It had some very basic dodging/rolling mechanics, but definitely more combat oriented than the other games. Nobody really plays SH for the combat so a lot of people felt like it was useless or unnecessary, but it didn't really impact my opinion of the game, much like how Downpour's "just there" combat didn't impact my opinion. The problem with SH having combat period is that very few people play those games for the combat at all-- so when the combat is just there, or decent, some people hate on it because it isn't deep or varied, and some people are okay with it because it's... just there and doesn't really get in the way of exploration or immersion.
That being said, I cannot figure out how Homecoming is still $40, it came out 4 years ago, and Downpour is currently half that price.

It's 50% off right now, sale ends Jan. 5th.
Not currently. Amazon had this bundle for $10 back in November, though, so unless the game is something you can't wait to play, I'd wait and see if said bundle goes on sale again in the near future.

Mousing over the ships tells you the conditions to unlock. That's all I got...think beating the boss will be the next one
Thanks. Yeah I can definitely wait, lol.
Just bought it. Green Man Gaming is the new steam sale.

Got XCOM for 17,50. Funny how that's almost half the price of the current sale price on steam.
As far as I understand it, to have everything Civ V so far you need to buy:
Civ V GOTY (or the GOTY upgrade if you already have vanilla Civ V)
Korea & Ancient Wonders Pack
Civ V Gods and Kings
Get the first two on Steam / Amazon and wait a couple of days for GMG to discount Gods and Kings, will work out at £2-£3 with the 30% voucher.
been playing Tony Hawk HD
to be honest its bearable, but it completely falls apart on the single fact that you cant rotate diagonal tricks by holding the diagonal like in the old games
it only seems to happen with tricks that involve left-down/right-down. left-up/right-up work fine. Its fucking ridiculous
like for example you know when you do a benihana and by keeping that diagonal pressed you spin it? yeah not anymore, now you have to do the trick, let go of the stick and press left or left/right trigger to spin it. Its fucking inexcusable why this happens only with the left/down variable and not left/up. Just developers being shitty as hell when it comes to controls
might seem minor but in a game like Tony Hawk its fucking crucial, its the one thing that is ruining my experience really. I can deal with the off-physics and whatnot but this is silly

That's not lying, that's "enhancing the truth". I wish Steam enhanced the sales, but they don't

Fuck.
I'm waiting too..
Using the top buttons to spin was always far superior to holding the diagonals, you can do more tricks to boost your combo while keeping the rotation going. I haven't played the hd version so I don't know if it differs anyhow from spinning in th1-thug2 but if it works the same you should try spinning with top buttons as it is better.
I can guarantee two of them won't.
It's not even the shittastic ending, it's the fact that mid-way through your second playthrough you'll get tired of doing the same thing. and if somehow you can tolerate a game more repetitive than AC1 then
those dream sequences will make you want to choke babies
there's no way ANYONE would possible want to sit through that more than once.
This was a flash sale like two days ago. It was 50% off.
I was curious about this too, and seeing as no one answered I looked it up. According to the Sins webpage:

I have never played a Civ game before and my friend is saying I should get Civ V, because it is awesome. Should I?
Wasn't there a Rotate left/right button on the old games? If I'm not mistaken, they were L1&R1 on THPS3 for PS1. Aren't those buttons available in the HD remake?
Your friends knows best.
that's the thing tho when you're playing these games since 1999 its kinda hard/not worth it to adapt to a new method, be it superior or not. When you're cashing in on nostalgia you better recreate that old experience as close as you can, this is just a different-playing game compared to my experience 12 years ago.
yes there are (L2/R2), I never used them, specially once you could start using revert (R2) to keep your trick out of a half-pipe in THPS3

BF3 can push close to 4GB, such that having more would be beneficial. Otherwise, I can't think of any other games. I imagine that'll changed by the end of next year.

So I asked this before in the thread but did not get a response then.
Maybe now ?
How is the pc version of Lego LOTRO?
Did hear some problems at launch but now how is it?

Try the demo if you have the time. But yes.
You unlock most ships by completing random encounters and quests. For instance, there's one encounter where you can actually talk down the enemy from fighting you, and that unlocks that race's ship (I think it's the Zoltan). The Rock people ship involves chasing and defeating some dudes across 3 sectors.
After unlocking each new ship, you get 3 ship-specific challenges/achievements. Complete 2 of them and you get different starting loadouts for that ship

Man, you guys are getting to the boss in FTL? I can barely make it to sector 5. You playing on easy or normal?
Grinding the early levels make easy mode actually easy, a bit of luck with equipment and the last boss is totally beatable.
Normal is hell.
