Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.
Okay guys I'm really getting hyped up over http://thesurvivor2299.com/
I know a lot of people have said that it's fake but... I'm not so sure.
If it's not Bethesda doing this, the hoaxster is paying a LOT of money to run this site - even going so far as to post a 1-800 number you could call to "Reserve your home of the future - today!". Calling the number plays a 30 second clip of the Tranquility Lane music from Fallout 3 which is abruptly cut off by more morse code. Audio
They've hidden an encrypted code in the site that translates to:
So yeah, it may still be a hoax, but if it is it's one of the best hoaxes I've seen in quite a while. BELIEVE

Uggh, take a look at this freshly spewed nonsense from the Ubi higher ups:

That's a good price for either. The Dragonborn DLC in particular is really good. If you like Bethesda games, you really shouldn't miss out on this game, despite all the hate it gets at times.
I see in the UK, I can only get it down to about £16 with that code, so I'll be praying for a good discount next week with Steam.
Speaking of Bethesda, I'm currently playing New Vegas. Modded it up, which took a little while(mainly watching tutorials and learning about how to do it and which ones to get), but worked without a single problem. I've played the game before, but it was on the Xbox360 without any of the DLC. What a difference it is this time around. This is the same game:

There's a separate thread about this somewhere and Ubisoft has said they didn't mean it like it sounds or something.
here's the thread

Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.
Hey, I want to believe too. But the barrier of entry to do the hoax is still pretty low. You can get an 800 number for as little as 10 bucks a month (and some sites even give you a 30 day free trial). The bandwidth is probably the greatest expense.

Thanks to Backlogger for Serious Sam The Second Encounter 2: II: Tounge Two-ister HDition! I look forward to quietly muttering "yaaaaaargh" as I run backwards, infinitely.
your post is too close in proximity for morningbus.
I expect serious sam stone throwing in 3... 2... 1...

Did they fix the locked 30FPS thing?

Good point - 800 numbers are cheap. For Enhanced Steam's bandwidth I pay about $60 monthly and I'm not serving up Morse code audio files or getting thousands of Fallout fanboys hitting my site at the same time, and it still gets bogged down where there is a big sale (even if it's not on Steam, such as yesterday's Amazon sale which kinda crushed my server a bit in the morning).
Either way, kudos to whoever is running the site. Be it Bethesda or some unknown joker, it's pretty impressively elaborate.

I sucked six dicks to get this tag.
No Need for Speed Underground 2, Most Wanted, or Carbon on steam? I'm disappointed

Which mod(s) are you using for the higher res textures? I'm playing through it right now and wouldn't mind spicing things up in the graphics department

Not sure who said this the other day, but entirely agreed about the lighting in Dirt 2/3. It looks incredible, almost CG like when downsampled with max AA. Would be absolutely jaw dropping with some better geometry and texture work.
You should be able to play the game by launching it from Steam, and then logging in to the GFWL account you registered the key on. You don't need to download any GFWL client on your own, just do whatever it asks from you on Steam.

I would be happy with that. (Improved combat hopefully)

They're not on Origin either as far as I can tell.
If they dumb it down to Skyrim levels it would be a travesty, sigh.

For some reason, I find FEAR 1's visuals to be better than FEAR 3. I've only started playing the 3rd game though so maybe it gets better?Just finished F.E.A.R. 1
I remember the intro and end sequences in FEAR 1 were pretty sweet too.
It still want's a cdkey from me.I found that I should take this cdkey from Games for Windows Client after redeeming code provided by steam.Problem is after redeeming it GTAIV did't showed in my Games for Windows client.
I will place a ticket on Rockstar site because they know about this problem.
NMC's medium texture pack.Which mod(s) are you using for the higher res textures? I'm playing through it right now and wouldn't mind spicing things up in the graphics department
Nevada skies is the other big visual improvement I'm using as it makes nighttime look decent.
Finished Shatter. Um well that didn't take long. Reviewers claim it's the best Breakout clone ever, but it's too chaotic for me. I prefer the old-school ones. Still the soundtrack is the best part and as a matter of fact I'm listening to it right now!
Now gonna try CoD: MW2 since it's the only "NEW" CoD I managed to snag somewhat cheap.

Just remembered I still need to finish Fallout New Vegas. I'll do it after Blood Dragon and Bioshock 2, I promise :x
Just finished F.E.A.R. 1
Yes. If I were you I'll go directly to FEAR 2, mayyyyybe you could add Extraction Point before, but not the other expansions IMO.

RPS doesn't like Adventure Time: Explore The Dungeon Because I DON’T KNOW either: http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2013/11/22/wot-i-think-adventure-time-explore-the-dungeon/
Ouch.
Ouch.
All those good games in one dose!
You can tell they were trying to pad the length of Bioshock 2 near the end, but its still a great experience. Best Bioshock in terms of gameplay, they really nailed that aspect.
FO3 is better than Dark Souls, go play it right now.
Not comparable games really but I just wanted to motivate you to play it.

All they had to do was copy Zelda.
Still holding out for a Fallout New Vegas style Adventure Time game.
They don't hold up to the quality of the original except for maybe Extraction Point, gunplay wise I think it's the same but don't quote me on that because it's been a while... that being said if you have the time play them because IIRC they are short and you can finish them in a couple of hours.

Agreed. But the sense of humor
that should be

If so, I'm against general consensus. I adore FO3, so-so on NV.
You should still play both, FO3 first and then FO:NV, there both great RPG's I'd then take some time off to recover and then start playing with mods on both games and complete all the endings for FO:NV.
(The endings for NV games are a bit of a cop-out tbh)

Boom! Bitch-slapped!
Just finished F.E.A.R. 1
This is next on my list after I am done with Shadow Warrior. I have never played a F.E.A.R. game.

I've enjoyed them both equally, but I've heard it both ways. Some prefer 3, some prefer NV. You should definitely make some time for them.
