It works fine for me usually but the widescreen fixer mod thing makes the game crash during start up like 90% of the time. Sometimes it works, couldn't get it working reliably at modern resolutions though.

Once a Steam has has a straight forward crack released there is no reason not to release it on GOG

BF4 and a good port of DP? And the Steam Halloween sale? If I die next weekend, I'll die as a happy man.
Is deadly premonition actually a good game or is it like Nier where it's so terrible in most ways but for whatever reason Gaf latched on to it and made it far better than it was? On here people seem to treat it like it's awesome but I can't find any other place on the internet that seems to agree with that.

I wonder if the Steam release will be DRM-free. Presumably CEG is something a developer has to voluntarily disable rather than enable, so I'd guess not. I think Divinity: Dragon Commander is the most recent example of a DRM-free Steamworks game, unless the new Scribblenauts is (Unlimited certainly is).
I love both games, but it is like Nier, where the gameplay just isn't good and the graphics look low-budget, but everything else about the game makes it wonderful
Hi Agent Scully, I have time today, come over for a bit.

I played it for a bit. If I remember there are various levels of realism that lend themselves to different control schemes. I found myself playing with M&K the whole time even though I have both a stick and 360 controller. That was on the more arcade setting
It was pretty fun from what I played. I just didn't have the time to keep playing with my backlog staring at me.
Gameplay is pretty terrible, better not to have any illusions in this regard. But then again it's not Nier too, because it has less gameplay
What for? We spend on games too much?
Oh, like Alpha Protocol?
No AP has quite a few redeeming qualities about it. Something like Nier doesn't except maybe useless things like music. That's the kind of cord deadly premonition was hitting with me and it seems like it's the same way.
Yeah, you'd hate Deadly Premonition. Even as much as I love it I can recognize it has pretty terrible combat and driving mechanics. You have to like it despite it's flaws.
I'm not going to get in a k-hole argument like AP vs DP or Nier, but all are similar in that they have good elements despite some garbage, it just comes down to taste. I tried to get into AP and liked the branching story beats, but the jank was just too much.

I still have no idea how to play this game properly.

Thanks for the heads up, I'd forgotten all about this game being in a indie bundle, and the email went to my junk folder.

This AP un-love is killing me. Ya'll crazy.

The voice acting isn't bad. It's just the dialog is sometimes endearingly eccentric.
I should be the last person defending Nier, but I wouldn't call music useless thing. People have tastes and preferences and for many music is very important.
And DP does have redeeming qualities that are called Twin Peaksesque!
What? Too bland? Or do you prefer pepperoni for your pizza?

Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.
Criticism of Alpha Protocol is never anything more than sharp knees complaints.

Alpha Protocol is amazing when you play it and immerse yourself into role play for it. Playing as standard action game character can just lead to frustration it doesn't actually want you to really play that way, but playing as Super Serious Spy who tries everything by the book allows some interesting results, meanwhile playing the World's Worst Spy who just bumbles his way through situations and yet is somehow not dead yet even though his poor decision should have had his superiors kill him just to save face, is one of my favourite playthroughs.
Plenty of faults to the game itself mechanically of course, and I understand some being turned off by all the love some of us have for it, but it can go a long way if it is the type of game one can enjoy normally and look past the faults almost like some of us have to look past the faults of indy games or playing retro games for the first time to just enjoy the ride they offer.
Mind you I also replayed Heavy Rain once just for the "fail at everything" run and enjoyed the silliness of it while I never made it through a full single player campaign of most modern FPSs, so I'm different I know.
My favourite part of games that have such focus on choice, or at least ability to craft small personal stories, comes after playing and sticking to one play-through and then talking to others about their game just to see how different it is in a "what it could have been" with regrets or jubilation things didn't turn out as badly.
Fortunately Wolf Among Us looks to be offering a bit more actual divergence in that aspect, which should make talking about the game just as much fun as playing it, or more.

Forgive me for not wanting to play through a spy game where the hacking minigame is garbage with a kbm. After the first few I looked forward to the amount of times this would occur throughout the game and thought... no thanks.

I wouldn't want it. Keep other voices away from my wonderful game!

But Kate Upton doesn't have an ass and I have to drive over to her house!
Amazon's Halloween deals went live a few days ago.
Edit: On that note, a reminder that Bloodlines will be 75% off on the 30th. The deal lasts for 24 hours.
Alpha Protocol isn't Kate Upton.
So your argument is that the game is great and I am writing it off for something you consider to be trivial.
All I can say is... when I don't have more games than I know what to do with I'll jump through the hoops to play a game I have the near minimum interest to play through.
Worlds Worst Spy sounds hilarious.
Derp. That's what I get for hardly visiting Amazon (or venturing outside of this thread
The game is great, one of my favourite games this gen, just stick with it, bs alone is worth all kinds of pain. What I would give for another game with similar gameplay concept!
Oh, and I still don't get hate for Tidus, even after all those years. My standards must be pretty low, show me good gameplay, and I will have no problems even with SO4 characters. Although Edge is unbearable, that's true.
Sega did port Hundred Swords to PC, might want to look into that.
If not, try Romancing SaGa: Minstrel Song under PCSX2.
I like Tidus, but I think he and Rush have that personality where they often speak before they think, they seem to be the same type of character.

Shouldn't you practice in a game with ADS?
Don't have any installed.
Okay, fine! Happy!?
Bravo, good job.
Maybe it is just because I'm playing after the most excellent DMC, but I'm having a really difficult time getting into Castlevania.
Looks pretty enough, controls ok, but the combat, level design, and just about everything else is so flat it is a chore to keep going.
does it get significantly better after that?
Feels bad to (relatively) splurge on a game for $15 and find a $1 pickup to be 10x more compelling.
