Anyone know anything about Final Fantasy IV? I can't tell if it's like WoW or more like a single person game.
I haven't played Final Fantasy in a LONG time so I have no idea what direction they're going in (and google isn't helping, I just keep seeing cinematics.

Damn it. I got it for $25 on Amazon a few weeks ago and literally just opened it this morning.
Speaking of which, what is the difference between Franchise and Season modes?
I've never played the series before at all, but used to like baseball games as a kid/teen a lot.
I played 7 innings of an exhibition this morning on Beginner level. I struck out 10 batters, had 15 hits, and was up 8-0 when I had to leave for work. Also, you don't field or run bases on beginner? How should I adjust my levels (if you can)? I couldn't figure out the predict pitch and location portion of batting, so I just was timing my hits.

So did anyone here every play the old turn-based wargame classics? Gary Grigsby's World at War? Carriers at War? etc.? I remember back in the day buying a CD that had a truckload of them on it, and it was just awesome wargaming goodness.
ETA How could I forget TOAW? The Operational Art of War, as well.

Get off beginner. Forget what the levels are called but you should start around veteran IMO (think there are two above it). On veteran, you'll get some assistance running and fielding but not much. Any of it can be changed in the settings. Just gotta play around with it till you find what you like.

I bought Portal 2 last night, pretty fun so far.

Pretty fun? Just pretty fun?
It is a great puzzle game, lots of humor. One of the things I really loved, however, was the journey you took with the company from beginning to end via the sound bytes from Cave, etc. Sure, there is a lot of humor there, but there is some heart and tragedy as well.

For $25? I have too much of a backlog to justify spending that much on any game that I'm not going to play right away (and thus will probably come down significantly in price by the time I do play).
Sleeping dogs is the only one in the current batch that interests me (that I don't already have) but it feels more like a console game to me. Some games I prefer PC to console - that one, Max Payne, GTA, etc.

Yea, I will mess around with it.
So in Franchise I have full minor league rosters but must play a full 162 game season? And Season mode its jut current 40 man roster without minor league guys? So it's just those 40 and who you draft?

Well I didn't mean buy it right now. I just meant the game looked interesting to me. With the way MS is giving away some of these older titles I have never tried, not to mention some of the sales, it's going to be a long time before I am out of stuff to play.

No idea, never do franchise/season. I just do a couple 'Road to the Show' guys. A pitcher and a hitter.

Just wait until it starts to get frustrating and you start obsessing over how it's screwing you over. THEN it's fun.

Actually through the end of the year according to their website...
Terms & Conditions: *“Games with Gold” free games offer available 6/10/13-12/31/13 for paid Gold members only.
Seems like a good deal for $5 (or less) a month. My son was already wanting Gold to play Minecraft with his friends. Is it also required for things like Madden roster updates? Or only for user-created rosters like NCAA with real names added?

I DL'd it be haven't gotten around to playing it. I'll see if I can spend a few minutes on it tonight and give some feedback.

Yup, just curious if I should put it on my wishlist or not. No point in paying more than $5/game with the backlog I have. I am happy to wait for the winter sale to pick it up.

Alan Wake for $3, worth it?

I just put in 45 minutes and I really like it. The combat techniques are a little difficult but I really like the style and overall gameplay. I think I will get my $3.74 out of it and then some.

There has been a lot of feedback like that. Apparently Steam is going to allow some sort of exchange policy like that in the future. No time frame on when.

Really fun game. Platformer that rewards on Stealth, but you can play it how you like. I'm just guilty of getting caught playing other games and not finishing it. I'll definitely go back to finish it, though.
Edit: Kotaku recommends to buy it on Amazon for $3.20 and get three indies for your trouble. So, yeah. Do that. Be sure to use the code "Gooncave" on Amazon. (A couple of those free indies look pretty decent.)

I haven't played it yet, but I bought it. Someone told me I'd really like this one and after watching playthrough, I thought I'd like it. Seems very Rogue-like, so that means that failing will be half the fun.

It's ok. Some like it. Some don't. The gameplay gets repetitive and the story - which has a lot of inspiration from Stephen King - is supposed to be the driving force. For $3, I'd say try it. I paid more than that to rent it when it released.
