Unlikely. The old games were from old bundles. And they have run out of old bundles. Therefore, if there are games, they will be new ones.
I agree with this, the chance of those games being pulled now are nearly zero.

I'm still trying to get FUEL to even launch myself...and finding the actual software for half of the files took me to the wayback machine when other links were old and dead :LOL:

If I get it working, this place will know about it...but as it stands right now it may be impossible to even play it due to SecuROM servers being down and "Games for Windows Live" being removed entirely...so I assume those servers are down as well unless they used them for XBox Live still.

So the older they get the more realistic it becomes they'll just be a library trophy for most people, they certainly can't restock the keys...not like thats a surprise to anyone heh.

You're right, I wish I had known Feudalife existed back then :/


So, MaxLevch gifted me a GOG key for Ozymandias: Bronze Age Empire Sim after participating the giveaway raffle of silent_passenger. Now I have one more key for this game. I am thinking of doing a raffle for it but I don't know if there are enough people. So let's see. To enter the raffle, react with 😡 and tomorrow I will randomly pick the winner.

Edit: The raffle is closed!

You can try the Fuel GFWL Fix (XliveLess) from the link. There are also some improvements in the following link:


It would be a waste if you can't play that very rare game. :D

Already did, which might work if Games for Widows Live downloaded the client for offline play still lol...it doesn't, thats why I hit wayback and I'm also in with support at EA and SecuROM (now denuvo evidently) but SecuROM hasn't even replied.

I appreciate it, but this time I threw caution to the sidelines and DID try all the possible answers.

The wayback was shit luck I happened to land upon, haven't tried that installer yet...if it works then maybe those solutions still will as well.

EDIT:

Thats a different download location 🤔 well one more thing to try hahaha. Thanks Freeman (y)

Today on Humble: Bandai Namco
I grabbed it! I didn't have 5 of the games in the bundle so I got it! Now though something is broken on their end so I can't log in to get my Steam keys! I'll never get the Code Vein DLC now but the sacrifice was worth it.

Totally agree there heh. But...


Considering what the cost of Code Vein adds up to in reality, $6 for the season pass isn't TOO harsh if you really care. It hits Fanatical now and then for close to that price as well. Believe it cost me around $7 and its bound to drop more eventually.

On a plus note those games all come with or don't have any DLC other than that particular game IIRC 🤷‍♂️

Hack G.U. being the entire series is a really nice touch, I wasn't a huge fan of the first game but I just did a quick test on the second and it seems alot better (especially the bike lol)

I can't complain too much. It is $2 a game I didn't have. Tales of Vesperia is finally mine! I reset my password to get into the account but I can't get my keys! It tells me "Please try redeeming again later."

I already had Hack G.U. Last Recode. It is interesting but it is a walking simulator with overpowered characters. I played the first game in the collection. I haven't tried the second yet. I wish they didn't lower the difficulty to "baby's first game" level.

Did you enable the cheat mode? It makes you god outright if you select it starting a new game :LOL:

I played the first game as a standalone demo but I got bored way too fast....having a motorcycle at your beck and call from the start of the second one helped ease that feeling, but I haven't got far enough to say more except the intro was interesting and the bike in a city was cool.

Can't be worse than the first SOA on PSVita, press the touchscreen to do a power hit...as you watch the basic battle go on without you heh...worse, I played on Vita TV and they neglected to consider that it had no touch screen :ROFLMAO:
Tales of Vesperia is finally mine!
This game is fucking iconic. possibly one of the best remakes ever and easily one of the best Tales on PC.

I'm happy to add Vesperia to my collection! No I didn't enable "cheat mode." It is just that easy. People in the Steam forum have complained about it as well. Cheat mode must be really boring. The original is supposed to be much harder. I feel cheated by normal mode in the remaster. Square Enix did the same thing to their FF Pixel Remasters except for the last one which I bought. Every dungeon has a map telling you where everything is. It can be turned off but it comes back on when you move to the next area in the dungeon. I suppose Japanese developers think we want to play walking simulators instead of JRPGs. 🤷‍♂️

Ouch, only one I could say that might benefit (ff pixel) is the very first game from NES--that one was BRUTAL, the rest I find pretty sad lol.

Japanese devs just expect everyone to be stoned and retarded now...and they're not far off.

Not to mention they have always considered us a lower level as gamers and as far as fighting games went they were probably right again...did you know that low/medium/high punch and kick in old school Street Fighter are all strong against certain other punch/kick buttons depending on air/ground etc?

I didn't for the longest time when I played ALOT...even though I do now I don't bother considering it when I actually play either lmao.

I would argue the RPG fact, we're always missing SOMETHING from a japanese version like the monster arena in FFX and the tower in X-2...Vesperia won't disappoint in that sense I assure you, although you'll likely be godly by the end game if your a completionist.

They damn sure didn't pull any punches with star ocean The Last Hope for PS3 either, can't say on PC. The ethereal queen is a literal nightmare lol.

Free Trial here


With ads here...


You can find and download it as well (English sub/dub) and I suggest you do one of the many ways...watching that first will have you ten times as invested in the game...rita is the bomb (quite literally) :LOL:
Thank you for the advice! Will do! "-Kerbster- ** XDCC SEND denied, you must be on a known channel to request a pack." IRC bots never tell me where that is. I found the English sub somewhere else. I'll grab it tomorrow.

You'll need these files for the Dirt 2 Demo

I have the real FUEL so I can't install the demo.

Let me thank peter for the idea to fix FUEL and the install link, that didn't work out...but now I can actually try Dirt 2 :LOL:
