Oh, and just a heads up.. Bulletstorm requires GFWL which is why i've avoided buying it no matter what the sale price is.

The bigger question is either game worth whatever price if it has to be downloaded using Origin?

I say its worth it,, 9.99 for a Unreal 3 engine game,, very unique game,, not a lot of sales, that is why its 9.99 now,, sorta how UT3 faded away with dismall 300k units sold only..... I got UT3 for 25 it was worth it ,, but now no body plays, soo I cant play... Bulletstorm is worth it for 10 bucks , u get single player plus mulitplayer , GFWL aint all that bad,, I played Gears of War 1 ,, its not bothersome,,, not a big deal and no resource in the background,, soo dont sweat the GFWL ,,, I dont know what you scared of.. anyhow,, gg and gl,

I bought DNF on sale for $10 a couple months ago. It's OK. I guess it depends on your attitude going into it.

I refuse to buy Bulletstorm ever since Epic Games went full-retard, and CliffyB became a douchebag.

I have heard bad things about GFWL without actually trying it myself, but if tweakboy endorses it, I will definitely stay far away. Still haven't played BF3 because I don't like the idea that EA used it as leverage against Steam to "promote" Origin. Granted, Steam went through lots of growing pains itself, but that is the advantage of being a late adopter. :p

gfwl isn't that bad. worked fine for the 2 games I've played that used it.

arkham asylum, resident evil 5

Origin is good too. Their storefront is pretty awful though. Their friends system is almost as buggy as Steam's used to be. I do like how you can go invisible though. Their cloud saving feature is also buggy.

Gamefly has their own client that is in open beta now. It looks similar to Steam and Origin but I like how you can group your games in different categories.

GFWL is fine for me. Never had a problem and I have several games that use it.

Origin has been a disaster for me.

I might actually but this for $5. I think it would be worth that much for me.

That and I guess I'll get the $2.50 Witcher EE deal too. When am I going to play all this shit?

I've used GFWL once when I first bought Fallout 3. Downloading updates was an absolute joke and I really wanted to grab one of the DLC packs but I could never get it to work even after talking to Microshaft CS. Yeah.. not going through that again, thanks.

DNF must be the most hated game of the decade.

Oh yeah i played the duke nukem games and they are awesome on the nintendo 64.

I do regret trying to get a blast from the pass with DNF it was more like getting some gas from my ass....hoping the nostalgic critic or the angry video game nerd off of youtube rip it a new one but they like the nostalgic games...

DNF is kind of crap to be honest. Is it worth $5 or $ 10, yeah. Much more, nope. It's worth a play through if you are a shooter guy.

Bulletstorm is fantastic IMO. Worth $20....

You guys do love to hate DNF, lol. For anyone who wants to find out for themselves instead of joining the hate bandwagon, i'd also suggest picking up the new DLC "The doctor who cloned me". I actually enjoyed that one a lot more than the original campaign as it feels a little more modern and more action packed over all. It clocks in at around 4-5 hours. IMO, for $15 total I feel you're getting a pretty solid gaming experience, especially if you enjoyed any of the old Duke games.

I'll get Bulletstorm finally at $10, I held off at full price.

I bought DNF at the first price drop just to watch the disaster unfold before my very eyes. I'd say it may be worth $5 bucks just to play the first couple levels, they start to go downhill from there.
