I was hoping for Borderlands 2 season pass to come up. Whats X-com like to the 1st original?

Came up on GMG a few times, you can get it from there now for £14 with the 30% off code

Their season pass is the biggest cop out I've ever seen. 4 DLC's for £30 normally, thats £7.50 a DLC, that's standard ****ing price LOL! What's the point.

On the flip side though, it is a bargain if you get it on offer, especially if you put in huge amounts of hours into Borderlands 2. The DLC for Borderlands was excellent, well worth the funds, no sure about Borderlands 2 though.

there near identical apart from the cars and tracks, so go with whatever you fancy most, they all have a good mix i think

Bought the entire Tomb Raider series.. I have no idea why as I still find them annoyingly frustrating

Is DCS A-10 Warthog worth it?

It is if you're willing to invest some time into it.

FC 2 was rough, 1 and 3 are great.

Mate, doesn't have to keep frames to not run, the fact I can't at all rotate the camera without feeling completely put off the game is what makes it not run, its awful and feels extremely choppy at any res/settings. I grabbed it in the last sale so I tried it recent, and it just didn't work, whats your specs? Ubersampling and maxed at 50fps is some very good going.

I've tried it on both keyboard and mouse, and a gamepad and it's the same. I'm really not sure what to compare it to, it's just extremely chuggy when I rotate the camera, it microfreezes and stutters, and then when its done freezing it'll zoom ahead really really fast to the current time if that makes sense, all in about 1 second, its enough to make you feel sick LOL!

must be your pc to be honest or you

i would try it again & change the graphics setting around maybe blur off etc?

spec ops the line.. any good ?

Speed · 31 Dec 2012 at 15:26

Gameplay is solid but nothing special, the story however makes the game into something more than the average run of the mill shooter. So yes, I'd recommend it @ sale prices.

No idea what could be causing it for me then, maybe it's just another terrible port like Skyrim that can't pull data off a HDD properly.

You missed the deal when the pass was going for a £10 or less

Oh yeah it's great in a deal, I'm just talking about standard price, the season pass was the biggest seller on Steam for as long as Borderlands 2 was, yet people are saving £0, infact they are paying an extra 49p per DLC! Hahahahaha!

It was £29.99 when it first came out right?

When did Hot Pursuit change from 75% off to 50%? Or am I going mad?

System Int. Hitachi Deskstar 7K1000.C 1TB SATA-II 32MB for me, that's a 7,200RPM, so it should have no issues with The Witcher II? Skyrim stutter is unavoidable on a HDD, but what about TW2? I'm so confused as to why it won't run properly for me. -_-
