I'd probably throw in Shadowrun Returns (July) and Divinity - Original Sin (Nov - but I could see it being delayed with Dragon Commander releasing in Aug)

Yeah, I missed quite a few games. I just took a quick glance over the release list of my local gamestore and noticed that there isn't really anything I'm really looking forward to.

RE6 randomly crashed for me on loads, no idea if they fixed it as I have not tried it since then. I liked the game so far, but need coop partner I think.
Click to expand...
Currently playing during the evenings EU time, finished Chris and halfway through Jake's campaign. It is more fun with a (random) coop partner, the bot can be frustrating at times. Speaking of RE6's PC port: is it just me, or does anybody else have to disconnect the 360 controller before starting up the game? If I do not do that, the game stays in black screen for 1-2 minutes before finally starting up.

I backed Wasteland 2, my body is ready for that release.

Just finished Rogue Legacy. Man, that was an excellent game. The boss battles (well, boss 3 until the last one) were a pain in the ass. Loved the conversation between your character and the final boss.

Highly recommended ! But you don't need me telling you that. The game is already the bestseller on Steam :p

Saints Row IV will be fun but i still need to beat SR3 with my friend.

Not really interested in the other games besides Watch Dogs.

Does Valve plan the steam sale around releases? I was looking at the upcoming games on steam and it seems like there's a hole the week of the 8th and 15th of this month.

Any recommendations on Sword of the Stars: The Pit or Chivalry?
Click to expand...

Yes. Both come highly recommended by this thread.

Chivalry is the more popular choice.

Is there a discount code for the GMG deals? The 25% off one doesn't seem to work with The Pit.

edit: nvm, I'm an idiot: GMG20-JJVOT-ZGNGU 20% off

Mmm... I'll think about it. Heard that many SteamGAFfers liked it, and they were right with Hotline Miami and Spec Ops.

I suggest watching the Quick Look if you want an idea of how the game plays. It's part metroidvania, part crazy 2D brawler, and all amazing art, animation, voice acting, and music.

Books for a pound? That's a bargain if I ever saw one. I can't imagine a library of over 100000 books, that's like a reader's wet dream.

(getting way too off-topic here, sorry)

Batman:AA was one of those cases where all the hype and praise is well deserved. I found it to be as good as everyone says. Another example would be the original Deus Ex: there's a reason why it's considered a timeless classic. I hope I can feel the same with System Shock 2 when I finally get to play it.

Well he put his prices up recently by 10p :eek:.

Well my demo for Arkham Asylum borked so I've downloaded the Steam demo of Arkham City instead. I hope I do take to it given the uber cheap deal for both we mentioned earlier.

I've not played Deus Ex of SS2 but at some point I intend to delve into older pc games and both of those are definitely on my radar.

I actually found this program for managing library categories: https://code.google.com/p/depressurizer/
Tried this out just now and it seemed to work pretty well. Much better than how Steam does it anyway. There's a short guide on how to use it in on the 'Wiki' tab at the top.
Click to expand...
Interesting, I wrote a version of this a few years back and it worked reasonably well. Need to see if a steam update broke it. I'm guessing yes.

In fact, reading the wiki, it sounds like my app with a few tweaks.

Shall download when I get to work :D

This is good advice. I enjoyed the hell out of System Shock 2 earlier this year and I'm starting Deus Ex early next week. Can't speak for Deus Ex yet, but the first 90% of System Shock 2 holds up really, really well.

That said, Arkham City's really good too, and if Asylum ends up dropping GFWL I'll pick that up as well. From my perspective, you've got a pretty good lineup right now!

Adding a PC release list to the OP might not be a bad idea.

They are updating Arkham Asylum's registry entry as well, whatever is being done to Arkham City will likely be done to Asylum as well.

I think City is just their test bed, they have developer betas going on in Asylum as well, but that title is not seeing updates as frequently.

GameFly is holding a Bethesda sale. I'm gonna pick up Oblivion, Fallout 3 and New Vegas for that price, damn.

Though now that I take a better look at it, maybe not New Vegas, since that doesn't appear to be the Ultimate Edition.

Oblivion at least is usually cheaper in the Steam sales.

Why isn't Mortal Kombat up yet?
Click to expand...

I just had a look at my GMG purchase and it said "We will be distributing these keys at 2am UTC and it will unlock as soon as Steam activates the game." so just over about 4 hours from now. Not sure if that is directly related to when it's unlocking on Steam though.

2/3 of those games won't activate on Steam and those prices aren't particularly good.

The verdict is still up in the air for Wasteland.

1. Inixle sadly has a bad track record with some mediocre games

2. If they pull that shit that Shadowrun: Returns pulled I will be pissed.
