  1. I hate Games for Windows Live and subsequently MicroSoft

    I know this is an old-ass thread, but ... I seriously just can't get GFWL to work, even after downloading multiple copies. WHY IS IT SO MUCH TO ASK TO PLAY VIRTUA TENNIS 4, Video game GODS??? Tips, amigos? I just can't figure out what I am doing wrong. The client seems to install OK but always opens with an error.
  2. Licenses That Demand A Game

    The Neverending story, you have to rapidly press A to save Artax and there is a second screen experience where you clean up the Luck Dragons poop for in-game gold
  3. General Video Game Deals Thread

    Not to derail a ton further but honestly the controls and level design felt best to me in that game. Most people who hated it probably were looking for another mind blowing story (which it doesn't have) but I honestly thought the original Bioshock's story was just-ok so I was willing to trade it away for controls and levels that I personally enjoyed more. Ps By level design I actually mostly mean size, original Bioshock the levels all felt like 20% too small for some reason

    I know I am a tiny minority here but I actually liked Bioshock 2 best out of the three.
  5. General Video Game Deals Thread

    Not me me! :'(Well I guess that explains why my Googling for workarounds didn't get too far.
  6. General Video Game Deals Thread

    Is there a primer on how to make GFWL games play now somewhere? Got a Virtua Tennis in the summer sale but it keeps trying to talk to GFWL
  7. I Had a Random Thought (About Video Games)

    I thought the jetpack in Halo: Reach was bad
  8. Yeah all the stat stuff from DS is out the window
  9. Ah, true. That is a fair point right there.
  10. You must be overapplying a specific area re: scaffolding, I think. I am 150 hours or so in and the only mandatory jumping I can think of is in the tutorial and at the bottom of the well.
  11. New people: Read this, say hi.

    Welcome new bros! I hope you are ready to rock in this post-apocalyptic bullet-hell twin stick shooter paradise while donning iconic caps!
  12. +1 this made a big difference to me as well, the controls felt "off" to me until I did that
  13. General Video Game Deals Thread

    I don't know why but I kind of like creating desktop shortcuts and then filing those into folders

    Welcome boots, one and all! This community is Olympics-grade special and you will fit right in.
  15. General Video Game Deals Thread

    This was my first Steam sale and it was great. Dropped around $70 and got things I have wanted for awhile; stuff to try out; and favorites I am likely to want to replay at some point. Overall I was super jazzed about this thing and felt like I got a lot of value.
  16. General Video Game Deals Thread

    I don't know if I have any of those but if I do offer and I will accept in a couple hours. (Same name as here) Edit: sorry, just checked and I have none of those :/
  17. Quitter's Club: Don't be ashamed to quit the game.

    Think I am quitting Call of Juarez: Gunslinger. It's pretty for an on rails thing, the story is fun and the pacing is nice but I keep bogging down on the boss fights and stopping there. So every time I come back to it it's at a terrible point and honestly it's just not quite interesting enough for me to care to continue or push through it.
  18. Destiny

    I think maybe it was GiantBomb's E3 coverage but somewhere along the way I also got the strong impression this will come to PC eventually but they are really just trying to not say it right now. Bloodborne, on the other hand...
  19. General Video Game Deals Thread

    This was about Rocksmith just updating to say wow for me at least the latency is way better on PC and I am super happy (in case anyone else was in a similar situation)
  20. General Video Game Deals Thread

    Me too! I was very pleasantly surprised. I own the cord from the 360 version but couldn't play it bc of the latency, here's to hoping my PC is better about that.
  21. Why don't soccer ball manufacturers get royalties when their products are played on television for profit? Relevant? This discussion surfaces a bias of mine, which is that games that do not significantly empower the player are just not fun to me at all, anymore. I prefer to read stories or watch films when it is pure narrative. Back to the Future, The Walking Dead, the Uncharted games, most Call of Duty-type games are all things I just cannot finish. I really just feel like if what I do in a game is completely channelized or has a couple artificial routes, then I just really don't have any power and therefore do not want to play. This sort of relates to my feelings on the topic at hand which is that most video games I personally value will be less vulnerable to getting ruined by a LP / QL. I haven't played Fez but I would guess that watching a LP of it is primarily about enjoying the performance of the player or their commentary - which to me is more analogous to watching someone play sports or a specific piece of music of something. I would argue that this category really should be somehow protected, genius speed runs / eggplant runs / whatever to me seem like a form of performance art in their own right.
  22. Great fun co opping with both FuryBoy and Cine this weekend. Bit of a question here: I am getting facewrecked by the lion clan in NG+, any tips?
  23. Yeah that looks awesome also I could be wrong but I think that bad player is president of SCEA
  24. Rereading your last post, maybe worth flagging that the DLC starts comin out in late July, if it's not on sale with the Summer Sale, it'll probably get some kind of drop at that time
  25. The community still seems really robust right now
