Will SOMEONE say something about performance after the pack???
I'm still deciding if its worth the download with my system specs:
Q8400 Core 2 Quad
Geforce GTX260(Overclocked)
4 Gigs RAM
Anyone with comparable specs running it OK?
Edit: Thanks Creston...I'll wait to hear from you. |

Hmmm...currently running Windows 7 64-bit, Core 2 Quad Q8400, GTX 260(overclocked), 4 GB RAM...I'm thinking I should be able to handle this pack. Anyone know for sure?
Any ideas? Not much that I don't run at max settings these days.
Been lazy in upgrading. Was planning to wait til later in the year. |

My indie GOTY is The Binding of Isaac. If you want to try multiplayer, you can hit up my Steam ID (slashimus).
Actually, it would be cool to get some Bluesnewsers together for some multiplayer at some point. (If we can drag them away from Skyrim...)
I have been considering getting The Binding of Isaac...I hear good things about it...but not its performance. |

Sweet!
I followed these guys on Facebook and pre-ordered the original almost immediately. Game played great at launch and just got better and better as they added to it.
Multiplayer is a blast as well.
My only slight concern is: "bringing the next version to console players..."
That worries me slightly... |

WarpCrow wrote on Feb 5, 2012, 16:33: I've never been a big RTS fan, but the focus on squad tactics and added RPG elements of Dawn of War 2 hooked me. Not to mention the fact that 40k is such an interesting universe with, IMO, much better atmosphere and feel than its little clone-brother Starcraft. So, that's worth thinking about if you think base-building is all there is to an RTS. And this is exactly what turns me off about DOW II and why I only ever put a coupe of hours into it. If I want a watered down RPG combined with a watered down squad RTS...oh wait! That's exactly what I don't want!!! Yeah...I'll be sticking to the original and its expansions, thanks. |

What they are doing now is basically working on the game like they are still developing it. I think the patches are just kind of a bone for the people who bought it to let them know where they are.
Ironically, if the game was released as it is NOW, it wouldn't have been so bad. And really...its only a couple months.
I'm really sad it turned out this way...I started to keep my eye on this a couple months before release but didn't pre-order. Glad I didn't...but feel bad for those who did. |

Hey thanks for the links! I suspected there were mods like this out there...I was just a bit too lazy to look.
All in all, I am really happy with the game. For sure I never want to fire up Oblivion again. 70 hours in and I've only visited 2 major cities(and still have an insanely long quest log)...that's definitely saying something positive. |

Hang on...didn't I read from one of the guys who are making Grim Dawn that the thing that killed Iron Lore was that they had too long a time between projects? Basically, when they were done with TQ, there was nothing on the burner of sufficient weight to sustain them and they were shut down.
Too many conflicting stories here. |

That's a much more likely scenario then Steam going under any time in the near future. It would equate to pretty much the same thing though.
Banned or service down would still kill your game access(if you let it). |

Ruffiana wrote on Feb 1, 2012, 21:46: Is this something people are really worried about? Is the possiblitiy of losing a $50-60 game ten years from now something that keeps people away from Steam? I spend more than that every month on my damn cell phone bill. I spend about that much filling my Corolla up with gas. 10 years from now am I really going to care that I can't replay Left 4 Dead? Apparently it scares some people more than an axe murderer on their doorstep.
In the Egosoft forums, there is a huge debate about the fact that they announced that X:Rebirth will likely use Steamworks. Some of the older folks are adamant that they will never put the software on their systems because it violates human and consumer rights, eats babies, rapes sisters, hastens the downfall of PC gaming and is possibly behind the Kennedy assassination. And I wish I was kidding about this...
There are some few people actually worried that they won't be able to pick up a game 15 years from now and play it. Apparently not even the existence of GOG can assuage their fears. |

Would be great if they had a "give all"/"store all" option in SkyUI when you store things. Such a pain in the ass to empty your pockets...

The first Prototype ran very well for me. Never crashed. I'm currently playing it over on Windows 7/x64.
The controls are fully configurable and the only 'issue' I ever had was that the sound is a bit low and I have to turn up the volume on my headphones/speakers a bit more than with other games.
That problem was a known issue that lots of people reported, but I never heard about any real crashes related to it.
I also heard that it didn't like discrete sound cards on Windows 7, but I had retired my Creative Labs card by the time I got into the game.
I was looking forward to the sequel though. It seemed like they addressed a lot of gameplay issues of the first game in Prototype 2. |

It looks darned interesting...that's for sure.
As long as it's a strategy game and not some stupid DOW2 RPG wannabe I'm willing to give it a try.
I can only imagine how much more watered down DOW3 will be: 'Hey folks...this time we cut out multiple units! No one will miss having to manage more than one unit! We tried it in our internal playtesting and it works great!! Bases and multiple units are so last decade!" |

I'm actually sure SotS 2 will be a great game eventually. I'm just going to be patient until it is.
I'm sure they paid for their mistakes...so I'm going to wait until its decently complete and playable before I grab it. |

The funny thing is that if they had delayed and released the game in the state that it is in NOW, there wouldn't have been half as much flack.
They have been patching like crazy and the game is actually playable, if not altogether complete.
So if they had decided to go with a March release date, no one would have been much the wiser.
Sad...really sad... |

Super cool trailrt. Still waiting for a good sale on it. Really? I think it's dropped as low as $15 within the last couple of months. If you think $15 is too much for the best RPG of 2011, I'm not sure what to say. Indeed. this is a no-brainer buy for anyone who likes RPGs and well done games in general. |
