F3EAR was also published by Warner Bros Interactive and was Steamworks, so they are at least aware of how awesome it is.

Dawn Of War 2 and Chaos Rising

You are right, and those were even GFWL!

Edit 2: Bastion was also Steamworks and also published by Warner Bros!

 

[morningbus]

Batman ditching GFWL would make it the game of the generation.

 

[coopolon]

From the DD discount thread...

Gamersgate has Homefront for $14.98.

It is also Steamworks.

 

[Cmagus]

Just grabbed the breath of death and cthulhu saves the world double pack.

Homefront isn't even worth $15. Wait till it's $7.50 or less.

I'm still bitter I paid $50 for it... at least I got Metro 2033 free out of it.

 

[Gvaz]

I bought Counter Strike collection a while ago, played CS:S for ten minutes and never touched the others.

I should have just played a demo or something.

 

[Stallion Free]

For what it's worth, I enjoyed the Homefront campaign a bit more than Black Ops or Medal of Honor. Those both had shit campaigns though.

Homefront's campaign would've been a lot better if it wasn't so obviously rushed at the end. It's originally kind of a slow burn for the first hour or two, but then the last few hours basically moved at a breakneck speed... highly inconsistent.

Black Ops' campaign was pretty stupid, but it was pretty consistent from start to finish, and Medal of Honor was paced pretty well, but way too short.

IMO, of course.

Yeah, it was kind of stupid that the campaign just kinda ended the way it did.

 

[StuBurns]

And I just bought CSCZ like two weeks ago, it'd be better if I just never buy something not on sale I think.

 

[Sarcasm]

Where else?

SO tempted to buy and yet I suck!

Which CS should I play?

Get Source, you can play bot games to get used to the game before you jump in, and the community isn't quite as intense.

I don't see source in the pack...

 

[PaulLFC]

Which CS should I play?

CS: Source is £3.49 here, but the Counter-Strike complete pack is £4.24, and for the extra 75p you get the original CS, CS: Condition Zero, Day of Defeat, Deathmatch Classic and Ricochet. Personally, I'd go with that option.

Pretty much. Best to wait unless you want to play something immediately.

 

[StuBurns]

It's not, the whole series is on sale this weekend, buy it on it's own.

It's only £3.50 in the UK for example.

Pretty much. Best to wait unless you want to play something immediately.

Yeah, I really did want to play the Deleted Scenes campaign, even though GAF warned me it was dog shit, and they were certainly correct.

I can't believe Valve put their name to that product.

Well back when that stuff came out everyone was aware that it wasn't really a Valve product and adjusted their interest levels accordingly.

And it was a free addition, but even with that I'm surprised they put it out. It's a vapid piece of content.

 

[crimsonheadGCN]

Good news, everyone (if true):

We've just received notice from Warner's that Batman is Games for Windows but NOT a Games for Windows 'Live' title!

Edit: Posted already. bah

Are you incapable of browsing the steam store or something?

 

[Stumpokapow]

And I just bought CSCZ like two weeks ago, it'd be better if I just never buy something not on sale I think.

aduhhhh

 

[morningbus]

Massive grain of salt with that, though, as this is the boxart:

Games for Windows and Games for Windows LIVE games get different branding.

Compare:

 

[Atomski]

Yeah not sure I believe that.

 

[StuBurns]

aduhhhh

I wouldn't normally fold like that, I was just very bored and wanted a shooter to play. The difference is only like £3, but it hurts.

 

[crimsonheadGCN]

Warner could have easily changed the game from a GFWL title to a Steamworks title before release. It would not be the first time this sort of thing happened. Both Mafia 2 and Darksiders were going to be GFWL titles and both have files related to GFWL, but they wound up being Steamworks titles at release.

 

[Echoplx]

So you believe boxart over official word directly from the publisher?

 

[morningbus]

So you believe boxart over official word directly from the publisher?

It's from some guy at Green Man Gaming. Not official P.R. from the publisher.

Edit: Not to mention that the GMG guy's wording still isn't specific enough. He never said it was Steamworks, just that it is Games for Windows. I'm sure if he was 100% certain he would have just come out and said it as it'll definitely help sales on his site.

God I hope so.

Yea, like the word directly from the publisher is always true...

*cough* From Dust *cough*

Read his next tweet. He received an email from WB.

I get blocked a lot by steam since I moved out of country but still use my country I moved from to buy/browse. Every week or so I have to wait like 4 days for them to unblock me and I have to do everything with a browser.


Now the Pack is best value but I was suggested Source.

 

[morningbus]

I'll bring my edit down here as it more directly relates to your comment:

Not to mention that the GMG guy's wording still isn't specific enough. He never said it was Steamworks, just that it is Games for Windows. I'm sure if he was 100% certain he would have just come out and said it as it'll definitely help sales on his site.

I went and checked the twitter and he is still being exactingly precise with his wording:

In response to someone asking what dropping "LIVE" means: "It means it doesn't use GFWL as the DRM, which means it doesn't as for login/registration or save to the cloud. /Rob"

Been confirmed by Eurogamer directly by WB.

They're just repeating the GMG tweet.

Batman: Arkham City is not a Games for Windows Live title, according to online shop Green Man Gaming.

A Tweet published this morning read: "We've just received notice from Warner's [sic] that Batman is Games for Windows but NOT a Games for Windows 'Live' title!"

In June box art for the game showed the GFWL logo, suggesting Rocksteady's game would use Microsoft's PC gaming frontend. Batman: Arkham Asylum used GFWL.

Eurogamer has followed up with Warner Bros.

All we have is confirmation that it will not use Games for Windows LIVE. The chances of it using Steamworks are pretty good, but these tweets do not confirm it.

 

[StuBurns]

Now the Pack is best value but I was suggested Source.

The pack does include Source, I just checked.

The difference in price is pretty small, get whichever.

However, bare in mind the CS:GO Beta will be here in a couple of months. I personally think Source alone is perfectly fine, but you're not paying much more for a few more games.

I don't think Eurogamer got a response yet.

 

[Echoplx]

Yo dude, no one said it was confirmed for steamworks.

Go back and read

I don't know why you're being hostile. People in this thread do think this means it'll be Steamworks and people are getting their hopes up.

I just want to make sure they have all the pertinent information.

 

[coopolon]

I got my hopes up till I saw the thread Salsa started about this. The guy from GMG said their copy isn't Steamworks, it is Securom.

 

[Chesskid1]

i have 2 guest passes for killing floor if anyone wants. randomly checked my steam gifts list to see if somehow i received any free games and i saw the guest passes. pretty sure everyone has this game now though.

 

[Exuro]

Maybe there's a chance of a Steam only Steamworks version(Without Securom). Would be better than nothing.

Doubt it though. : /

 

[Foliorum Viridum]

I'm one of few people who is hoping Batman: AC is GFWL, heh.

Quick question: Counter-Strike is 1.0 or 1.6?

 

[StuBurns]

Quick question: Counter-Strike is 1.0 or 1.6?

The game on Steam is CS 1.6.

 

[RoaringHawk]

The game on Steam is CS 1.6.

Pity.

Wanted to buy a couple of copies for my friends and remember the old bunny-jumping days.

There are plenty of bhop scripts for 1.6 (and Source). If you can nail down the timing you can even sort-of-manage without one. 1.6 is more forgiving in this regard.

 

[wilflare]

no i mean the poster above me. i knew i shouldn't have waited a few seconds to post. lol.

check your PM

The physics are completely different now.
