    I've got a half dozen fantastic games, and just no time to play them. I've got Ico and Shadow of the Colossus still in the plastic wrap because its so far down on the list.

    Not that I want it to stop, but there are just lots and lots of games.

    :/

    You should have asked earlier. It wasn't that long ago that I was inquiring about a 4 pack split. Would have ended up costing around $16-20 ea but nobody else was interested so it got scrapped.

    In case you don't got it, but want it, a humble bundle:

    Crusader Kings (complete) and A Fall of Kings, pay more than $8 for CK2, and more than $20 for all the DLC.

    Ah, damn. I honestly hadn't paid that much attention to it because city-builders generally aren't my thing but a couple of youtubers I follow have gotten into it and it looks fun enough, the sense of humour about it helps I think.

    No worries, I'll wait and see how the summer sale goes as even 25 - 30% is better than 10%.

    But an amazing game, and with gentlemen of the row it's not too terrible...

    but yeah it's widely derided as one of the worst PC ports in existence. On windows 7 if your clock rate is different from the xbox 360's clock rate then you're going to experience severe speedups or slowdowns. On windows 8 it isn't a problem, but it's still a shiiit port which requires external mods to fix. On the other hand, the mod developer got hired by volition so it's as close to officially supported as possible, and it's still an extremely fun game. Add in PC mods and it's out and out the best version of the game, you're just going to get a lot of crashes and are going to have to get used to never getting above 30 FPS. Fantastic game though.

    Seconded, it's fantastic. I'm playing on PS4, but I hear it's really horrid on Steam atm. You having any of those problems?

    Freezing for several second every minute or two - supposedly as the game pings some server - and when played in offline mode, it hard crashes instead.

    No doubt it'll be patched posthaste.

    Haven't had a single problem yet, runs really smooth. My only complaint is it doesn't have a borderless window mode, but most games don't.
