The nerd in me feels like pointing out that the only version of Street Fighter 4 that runs on MT framework is the 3DS one. And DmC is on Unreal, but yeah, they're all great ports.

I just meant capcoms PC ports in general recently

Finally created my first webm with the help of Frost.

Just Skullgirls footage of me getting my butt kicked, enjoy!

DMC4 is amazing despite the repeated levels, just on the depth and refinement of the combat. I guess it can get away with it since when you see levels again you have a different set of tools. It's also a really good port; well worth the six bucks.

Were other Capcom games made on MT framework ported that well? It's really too bad DMC3 got such shoddy treatment.

DMC3 and the original RE4 port were done by Ubisoft I believe and were indeed horrible.

The recent RE4 port is quite good, however. Qloc even managed to dig up some graphical features that have previously been exclusive to Nintendo hardware.

I have also found the DMC3 port to be passable with the right amount of mods. Don't completely ignore an excellent game when many of the issues are easily fixable at this point.

 

[JaseC]

Dragon's Dogma PC is also a great port.

 

[iosefe]

so what's up with Hoard? i put one in and nothing happens

 

[Rhaknar]

Then. . . it would be damn cool if they ported Dragon's Dogma. That game would be absolutely amazing on PC with some spit and polish - just imagining it makes me happy.

or UMVC3 (imagine the mods ). Sadly this dream is dead, and so is the dragons dogma one probably

Frank Fontaine is the main antagonist of Bioshock 1 though. Ryan doesn't even get that honor and while we see his handiwork through the environments. As an actual antagonist, by the time the player visits Rapture, his working actions are extremely null. Lamb was a mother first and her vendetta with Delta is personal before all else. Her collectivist philosophy is but a vehicle to show how she rallied a Rapture in its post-Ryan chaos. While important, connecting it to her attitudes towards her family is the foremost concept in her character. She raised a theory to create order in her past and then focuses on the player personally to continue on.

Andrew Ryan, on the other hand, is nothing but his ideals which makes him a much more despicable version of caricature in my mind. He is presented fairly well (along as his writing on the wall in terms of Rapture's birth ), to be fair. However, a character of such importance to be given such a petty role compared to the godawful Fontaine and given such a lame link to the character ( mind control being the most cartoonish connection to objectivism) makes for a double jeopardy in terms of antagonists.

you raise valid points. How they handled Fontaine's character (or... actually, his whole existence) is up for debate until this day. The fact that he's pretty much a cartoon villain that (spoilers for Bioshock 1? If any of you has been reading this without playing the game, well...)

Spoiler

actually transforms into a cartoon villain for the final fight

is something I've never liked about BS1. It seems the plot threads that were dangling throughout the game are lost during that final quarter and they had to finish the game SOMEHOW. I liked the themes about unbridled capitalism and its (almost) inherent hypocrisy, free will vs predetermination, the illusion of choice in videogames and all that stuff that was seemingly thrown out of the window to be replaced with "let's kill that guy, he's a villain that has done pretty evil stuff".

 

[Rhaknar]

Dragon's Dogma PC is also a great port.

 

[phantomspiker]

:lol. I love how goofy it sounds when trying to explain it to someone.

It's pretty far fetched. The amount of shit that had to go right to even get to that moment is ridiculous, but I loved it nonetheless.

Speaking of issues on Mac, my copy of Cortex Command basically only plays well windowed, though that may just be my laptop sucking eggs.

Just played a bit of Vangers to get reacquainted with the standard to-do on the opening world. Uploaded a couple of screens, too. You guys should give the game a try, it's 75% off for $1.74 the whole sale.

Ubisoft also did Onimusha 3.

DMC3 is an incredible game, and it's unfortunate that it got the port treatment it did, but yeah I'd still recommend it to people if they are willing to do a little legwork to get it running properly.

Got out on the funny side of the bed this morning, did you?

Warms the soul to see Spec Ops The Line in the top 4.

Sodapoppin was streaming it to 20k viewers yesterday, I was pretty excited about that. It was the 5th most viewed game on TwitchTV at the time.

That's like how many people bought the game at launch.

 

[Ventara]

I really am grateful. It's a game that I've had on my wishlist but kept holding off because knowing my luck it'll show up in an indie bundle.

I unfortunately can't name you after my 1st-13th children since they've been promised to others.

This is the joke, yes.

Do you know if he ever finished it?

 

[Spinluck]

Mark of the Ninja was so fun. Loved it.

I've heard so many good things about it.

I am going to wait till the last day of sales to bite. I seem to miss every giveaway of it on here lol.

 

[tiny raptor]

i'll give away a game if you'll name your child after me

 

[Toad.T]

Has there ever been a time in which a community choice loser becomes a flash sale/daily deal? Because $4 for a bunch of Pacman games was a great opportunity.

 

[denx]

Such a great game. Bought it and played it during last year's Summer Sale together with DXHR. It was stealth overload and it was GLORIOUS.

Goddamit, now I want to replay DXHR. I might as well and see what's up with the DC.

 

[antitrop]

Do you know if he ever finished it?

He changed over to a different game around Chapter 4, but really enjoyed what he played and said he was going to come back to it to finish it when had had more time.

 

[Rhaknar]

Grief, is there a reason you are never online on steam?

 

[JaseC]

Got out on the funny side of the bed this morning, did you?

I should have mentioned that I come from the future.

You bought Gone Home? I'm all for forming your own opinions, but the reviews for that one are overwhelmingly negative. Good luck, brave soldier. Report back if it's actually good.

Rayman Legends gets a Daily or Flash Sale? Community Vote?

...no, no they are not. In fact, its the complete opposite. If you are talking about the steam community thumbs up thing, then...then I have no more stakes in this conversation im afraid

Let's hope they are working on getting those games running on modern systems.

Which reminds me Gearbox still has to re-release the Homeworld games. Really looking forward to that.
