My saves are gone from Batman Arkham city
I recently bought an new computer which has windows 8. This created problems when installing and starting the game but I fixed that by installing the whole games for windows thing and things were dandy for a while. Played 11 hours into the game over a few days last week.
But now when I wanted to get back into the game my save have gone *poof*.
Checked the harddrive and there is nothing in the save folder.
I started up games for windows and restarted but nothing. the live button in the game does nada.
So fucking pissed right now. The game finally clicked for me and now this. fuck
Check to see if GFWL is running at all. (Hit xbox button or home key on keyboard) The saves are stored in their cloud. If GFWL isn't running, you will have no saves on boot and any progress you make will disappear. I had to re-install it via their site, instlal Bioshock 2, etc etc etc just to get it working in Win8 x64. Took a couple months of on and off tinkering. Awful, awful product, and it needs to die sooner rather than later. I sure hope they patch it out of all of the relevant games (Fallout 3, BioShock 2, Batman AA and AC, Dark Souls, etc.)
I don't know about day one but I will say it looks good. I'm actually making my way through the base game right now and loving it. I almost have full satellite coverage and I think I'm researching end game weapons judging by the research text when you select the stuff.
The game definitely has it's hooks in me and typing this out has made me realize that depending on price I may leap in day one. If it's $30 like the Civ expansions I'm just gonna wait for a sale though.
Whoa you were playing Civ V with someone for 12 hours straight? Sounds like a good day.

They already confirmed 30$ for PC. I got the main game for like 11$ and I got way more than 11$ of entertainment out of it so I feel like I owe them the 30$.
What you call work are actually puzzles. They aren't particularly difficult, and they can be repetitive (though they weren't for me).
Oh I see, you just wanna shit on it. Why did you ask in the first place then?

It feels like work to me because you are doing a lot of the same thing over and over just getting 4-5 shapes to the end point in a single puzzle. The platforming isn't thrilling and the puzzles are incredibly basic. I don't ever feel like I have to put any real thought into my movements. After 2-3 rooms I end up quitting because it gets so tedious. Plenty of games get repetitive, but they usually have compelling visuals to make up for it. Something visually stimulating. TWA is like nice interface design and like no real compelling visuals. It would make for a nice website layout, but that's about it.
I'm never gonna pass up a chance to make a dig at TotalBiscuit. The narrative in the game is just kinda boring to me. There isn't a whole lot of it so far and it's not enough to make me feel like the busywork "puzzles" are justified.
Thanks for The 39 Steps! Been interested in that for a while. Will probably share some impressions after Tuesday, when I get my new laptop (can't run any games now due to my graphics card being messed up). First time I've won something from ModBot, too.
Thanks NIN90! Gonna have to check the game out once I wrap up XCOM.
Well that's a bummer. I'll just pick it up when it hits $20 or lower then. My backlog is way too big for me to justify spending that much.

It's... an interesting take on the novel, that's for sure.
I liked it (altho the mouse rotation mechanic is kinda fiddly)
I agree with this and the only other small gripe I have is the store hacking mini game. If I play another pipe mania style mini game I might just have to give video games a break. It should have been sudoku or something.
Really great game otherwise though.
Thanks for The Whispered World, NIN90!
Also:
Im done with Saints Row IV. Is was a much better game than SR3. More fun and a better story. Had some side quests left, ubt most of them had the same objectives, so they bored me.
Clocked in 18 hours. Well spent 23£.
I may come back later, but first Im gonna finish SR3 and maybe SR2 if I can handle the shitty port.

That's how it goes, same with the Total War games. Wanted to just try a few battles as I hadn't played in a while and ended up playing six hours until my conversion to Christianity
in-game
But I shouldn't have even started to begin with. I have to write an Economics paper!
Yes, you could say it's the same puzzle every time, with only the level layout or characters available (each with different skills) changed. I loved it, but it's understandable if you found it tiresome and/or boring. And sometimes you are required to make some pixel-perfect jumps.
I found the narration great, and looked forward to it on each passing level. Also I got attached to the characters, which feels weird because they are a bunch of squares. The beautiful soundtrack helped seal the deal.
Grabbed Turba -- thanks JaseC!
Thanks for SpaceChem
No worries.

I have it installed, but now I got SR4 and the upcoming Rome 2 to play.
Sudden death.

Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.
The narration and story is pretty good until the last 1/4 of the game.
Then they somewhat abrubtly end the story for characters you're supposed to care about and introduce a bunch more that you're suddenly supposed to give a shit about.
It is pretty damning when I can say that a four hour game drags on for too long.

Thanks for Europa, gave my copy to a friend but now I can play it to!

So it is a Crackdown game for Windows? Good to hear.
Damn, I've got so many games to give away. I've got to email gifts to myself to get the keys and I'm too lazy to do it. But today, I'm doing it. So around 9 EST time be on the lookout for a huge list of games. Just a word of warning, I'm locking out lurkers and people who have never gifted before. I've got to go to the beach and then go shopping for some craft beer for my wedding ceremony.

So I've played a little of Anodyne, and it's real special for such an affordable game. It captures the sensations you had playing old games as a kid. Edge said "This is a game for those who grew up in Hyrule but spent more time in Lordran in recent years." and I agree with that.
It doesn't take itself too seriously and feels sort of old and new in different ways. It has a unique colour palette and a blissful score. For £3 it's a steal given the inclusion of cards.

That looks so good. Is it going to be standalone?

And okay, I'm a Terraria convert. Got the game on IOS. I had always kind of overlooked those 2D games because I assumed that the loss of a 3D world would remove depth and fun
Boy, was I wrong. Having played for two days, I can say 100% that Terraria blows Minecraft away gameplay-wise. MC has the better world for just uncharted exploration and vistas but Terraria has the awesome RPG elements, the awesome loot, and the awesome enemies.
Definitely going to have to get Terraria on PC now.
