ME3 (as a massive fan of ME1+ME2) starts off weird, turns pretty drat cool, and turns to poo poo near the end storywise. The actual gameplay is the best it's been. The first hour and everything past Rannoch are terrible though storywise; but for 5bux or something it's hard to go wrong.

That still beats DA2 in my eyes. :v:

The EA and THQ bundles make like $4-5 million, so despite the internet rage over "These aren't indies!" people still jump at the chance to buy the 2-3 year old games and the publishers get a massive single payout. We might see more like this when a company is nearing the end of its fiscal quarter/year, needs an influx of cash, and knows from past experience digital sales and bundles will generate a minimum six figures.

I never said it was a bad bundle, It's a ridiculous bundle because it's so good. :confused:

Bit confused about the Dark Souls 2 DLC: steam says I can buy a bundle of the season pass AND the Crown of the Sunken King DLC.

Season Pass = A bundle of DLC #1, DLC #2 and DLC #3. Unless they announce more in the future that�s going to be it for DLC.
Crown of the Sunken King = DLC #1

So don�t double up by accident. :v:

Also, the controls are balls and you can't remap them as far as I know. I haven't been able to get into the game at all mostly because of this.

I'm not sure how pretty much "standard gunplay game" controls are balls compared to most games, but you can remap them easily.

There's still no concrete genre title for diablo clones other than diablo clone and that's kind of weird. They're definitely action RPGs, while Amalur is also an action RPG, but in a completely different way.

Weren't they called Hack and Slash RPG's usually? I know I heard that term used somewhere.

How many actually good JRPGs are on Steam? Last Remnant could qualify, perhaps, and then there is Trails in the Sky and... ? Is that it? It's a niche that hasn't really been fulfilled.

Does Long Live the Queen count? Because that might just be my favorite game I bought during the sale.

Yeah OMD 2 is beatable on easy but really balanced around co-op.

I beat and pretty much 5 Skulled all of Nightmare solo ( :smug:

I'm almost dry of "AAA" games.. I've got these left:

Arkham Origins
Dead Space
Alice: Madness Returns
Hitman: Absolution
Prince of Persia 08
Red Faction: Armageddon
The Bureau: XCOM

I'm not sure which to play next. I have Borderlands 2 but I'm waiting for the people in my circles to have free time, and I have ACIV: Black Flag but holey moley it's a billion gigabytes.

I'm a big defender of PoP 08 because it's just so drat pretty, do like one leven a day though because it is repetitive.
Also just install black flag, it's indeed pretty big but 1: that size is getting more common so get used to it, and 2: it owns bones.

Not this again. The reason costs are so high as to look extortionate, is because governments engineer it that way. Someone has to pay for all the subsidized(name)/entitlements and that trickles down to basically every thing with a price tag. Higher taxes on corporations dealing with oil leads to rising food costs through higher transportation expenses. Less regulation and government spending/taxes means everyone pays less. Simple.

Source your quotes of dumb opinions.

I managed to get a perfect rating on every (non-DLC) level in Orcs Must Die 2 solo, on the hardest difficulty, (since my co-op partner wasn't interested in replaying them all for max skulls) so it definitely is possible. I guess it might depend on who you play as. I used the Sorceress and using her mind control ability was pretty vital to my play, so I don't know if the War Mage would work as well.

It's also one of the few games I enjoyed so much I actually felt the desire to get a perfect on every level (I didn't in the first one), so you can take that as a definite recommendation from me.

I did the same but as a warmage, I'm not great at shooters so even with my combat skill it's possible as him no problem.

ME1: Bring Down the Sky (free)
ME2: Cerberus network (included in new copy still iirc), Lair of the Shadow Broker (must have).
Kasumi is very solid and fun but imo always overpriced, Arrival was alright and would have been a decent setup for ME3...if they didn't actually pretty much ignore it due to rewrites of the intro segment.
ME3: Citadel (a fun sendoff to the trilogy). From Ashes is solid. Leviathan is ok. Omega can be skipped imo.

Claptrap can gently caress off, I think Handsome Jack actually worked in how obviously inserted he was into the backstory and they didn't pretend otherwise.

BL2 wasn't anything extremely special and has some major flaws but I had a blast playing co-op and spend 45h with some friends, so that's pretty solid.

DMC4 only has one song for combat encounters, it's awful, it has lyrics, and it always starts from the same point when you enter a fight. That made it unplayable to me.

Can anyone confirm or deny that GTA: San Andreas on Steam is a giant pile of crap of a port? It didn't even recognize my mouse at first, although I found a fix for that, but the m/k controls are still hella janky and there doesn't seem to be any good way to use a 360 pad (I found one joytokey map, but it claimed you needed to disable the gamepad's driver to work, which, what?).

Is there a known process for making this game playable on PC, or is it in the Saints Row 2 pile? Looking on the Steam forums brings up several contradictory fixes, none of which have yet worked for me.

It's just a port from before the 360pad became "the thing to have", old style general gamepads have always worked fine with it.
I bought the disk version on release and played through it 3-4 times no problem, it's likely just "older game issues"

Time to get through DMC4 and inevitably gently caress things up as I've trained myself to fight the wrong way.

The best tips I can give you as Nero is: You can pretty much grapple move everything, sometimes you can even rip defenses off enemies.
For the love of god rebind charge shot and Exceed to something more comfortable instead of the default 360 layout.
A good basic strategy is to sidestep a lot, smack a thing into the air a thing and then airjuggle it. Enemies that are offscreen are less aggressive and this is a nice way to control crowds.

Also if you like the game or not, do give Legendary Dark Knight Mode a try, its PC-only and about as hard as between normal-hard but a ton of enemies and just a blast to play.
