I like how the uploader labelled that the bad ending. That's the good ending. That's what's considered winning.

Harvester, game of the year, every year.

If an adventure game is gonna have deaths/game overs, it should have deaths like Harvester

Jesus christ, $3.49 for just SS2 and I Have No Mouth is a steal in and of itself. That's such a good bundle it's criminal.

That bundle is great, but I already have most of those games already.

Bad Mojo is a real neat and unique game where you play as a dude that gets turned into a cockroach and you have to make your way through this rathole restaurant.

It is also absurd how quickly I preordered Rebirth. I am everything that is wrong with gaming.

People really think that 'I have no mouth' is a good game? Sure, the short story was fine but the game was a pretty piss poor adventure game. But yeah, SS 2 and Bad Mojo, and Seventh Guest/11th Hour are a pretty good deal in that bundle.

Also if anyone is interested in getting Lifeless Planet, it looks like it was just added to this bundle for like $5: https://www.indiegala.com/august

Okay after the initial problem last night with Dead Rising 3, it does seem to work generally well on my laptop, minus a few areas where the framerate just tanks. Outside of that issue the game is really fun.

Dead Rising 3 runs pretty good on "High" settings but from time to time it tanks in framerate. Is there anything I should turn down to maybe make it more stable without resorting to dropping the video settings to "Medium?" Anti-Aliasing maybe?

Are there any ambient occlusion or depth of field settings? Those are the biggest framerate hitters.

Those are always the first things I turn off when I start up a game. I don't care if it's "how our eyes see", I don't play games to see the world I already do. Give me perfect clarity, sharpness and fidelity, and make all the lights at their brightest at all times. I don't need smeary poo poo and dark areas that I have to wait in order to see.

Or maybe I'm just bitter because my graphics card isn't up to snuff :mad:

Dawn of War 2 has shuffled off of GFWL to Steamworks, although LAN play, Referee Mode and pausing during multiplayer were apparently sacrificed in the transition.
Also your previous saved games are not compatible, unless someone figures out a solution like they did with the Arkham games.

I can only choose 16:10 resolutions in Dead Rising 3, and cannot select the 16:9 one I need. (1920x1080) Is there any fix?

Is there an option to select 4:3, 16:9, or 16:10 resolutions to choose from? I've run into that a couple times in the past where I've had to select one option for the other option to display the resolutions of that ratio.

Dunno why that the case, but I do know for a fact 1920 x 1080 is in the game. So there must be something causing it to not give you the actual resolution you want.

Does anyone have any experience with Arkham : origins Stuttering hard during pre-rendered CGI cutscens despite runing fast and smooth during actual play ? The only suggestion that my gogling skills seems to come up is force the game to run in dx10 mode . Making the game less pretty - shiny is a pill I am willing to swallow but i would love to know if anyone stumbled onto another fix .

The launch CGI stutters for me but not the actual in-game CGI. I wish they'd just fuckin show the cutscenes in-engine but I suspect it's because it's a console port and the 360/PS3 couldn't handle those cutscenes or whatever.

That alone achieves karmic balance against the stupidity that is Gender Bender DNA Twister Extreme. More Falcom is always a good thing, and nobody will ever convince me otherwise.

How did the expansion packs for the original Guild Wars turn out?

I enjoyed the base game well enough, but I didn't like how the difficulty spiked up near the end which forced you to not only play with other people instead of the bots, but with highly competent [;syer controlled priests and mesmers if you even wanted a chance of surviving the quests.

I mean, I enjoyed the FEAR games but it's an odd thing to come out of nowhere (for me at least) as a free to play multiplayer shooter.

Having said that, I used to enjoy playing the free FEAR deathmatch game they released years ago. Some very satisfying killing in that, and I always loved the wacky grenade effect.
