Playing The Forgotten Sands. I really like it except for the water parts. Every time there's water parts I groan.

Fuck the water parts.

Haha, you're boned. The whole game is water parts.

I liked the water mechanics myself.

There a was a terrific water platforming point in the finale of the game. I really enjoyed the water stuff in general, but damn that part was good/clever.

I'm not far in yet but Forgotton Sands is very good so far. It is way better than the plummeting price point and movie-tie-in release date led me to believe. I haven't seen any water parts yet, though. Basically an HD re-imagining of the first PoP, but with a little less charm. That works for me.

Dungeons of Dredmore is pretty great. It's a graphical roguelike with a touch of the humor from Zork with Monkey Island inspirations. Definitely worth $5. I can see losing a lot of time to it.

These are a few of my favorite things.
Great, now that song is stuck in my head.

thing that is bothering me though - isn't the intro music the Pirates of the Carribean theme? I have a terrible ear for this but damn it seems extremely similar.

I don't know, but the title songs reminds me of Oblivion.

I got to the part where you meet the djinn after the falling down circular stairs in about 6 hours. AFAIK theres only like maybe 3-4 levels after that.

I just hate the water sections when they do the alternating pressure and on/off jets. Also jets with water walls in between make me mad as hell.

Also "here's a teleport ability!" *forgets to use it and falls to your death having to rewind*

Also bugs where I rewind and it rewinds all the way and doesn't stop bugs.

Just got through the prison on Breath of Death VII, and it's getting terribly monotonous. May stop now and skip ahead to Cthulhu.

Anyone get Tobe's Vertical Adventure yet? Thinking about buying it to play with the gf, does the 360 controller work with it?

Try the demo first, the controls and physics are terrible, which pretty much makes or breaks a platform game.

Forgotten Sands is excellent.

The water freezing lead to some truly bonerific platforming sections.

Yeah especially near the very end, that was some piece of work there. I thought the game overall was good but not great, but probably the best one since sands of time. It's too bad they're focusing on nothing but assassin's creed now.

I really don't feel that the platforming was any better than the platforming in PoP 2008. :/

How do you people think the water sections are anything other than frustrating? :\

I find it hard, after doing them for a while I just want normal parkour shit

They didn't seem that hard to me. I never felt like I messed up that much.

I've also never beaten a prince of persia game ever, though I own them all. This is probably going to be my first prince of persia game, prolly gonna finish today then move on to ass creed 1 or Riddick.

Riddick is top-tier, play that next. Make sure you start with Butcher Bay of course.

Anybody here interested in trading Dungeon of Dredmor for a Lara Croft GOL code? It's steamworks.

Why would anyone trade a 4.50$ game for a game that is currently 3.75?

I dunno, I suppose if someone out there wanted GoL but didn't want to use gmg then maybe they'd be interested. It's a 75 cent difference, I could throw in a tf2 item or one of the 99 cent magicka dlcs in or something. Only asking since I have credit on gmg and no funds on steam atm.

I mean if having persistence is the defining attribute to something being an MMO outside of player counts, then I'd disagree on the basis that it'd be silly calling TF2/BC2 MMOs following the same logic.
Click to expand...
If persistence is the defining attribute of any game, then I'd call it an MMO. A lot of games have persistent elements but I don't think you could say the defining attribute of TF2/BC2 is persistence, and gaining 'XP'. Just from the FAQ page, War Inc. has "character development" and some sort of LoL-esque currency system for buying gear.

But anyway, maybe you're right about it not being based around persistence.

From the banner on the front page I thought the daily deal was both Dwarfs and The Ball for £3.75 at first.

Buying Dwarfs, how is The Ball? Downloading the demo but any impressions would be great.

Regarding the double daily deal of Dwarfs?! and The Ball, I tried adding both to my cart using add to cart on the front page, but only The Ball gets added then. Doesn't seem to change the price however, so if you want them both and miss out on one at your purchase you can make another transaction. Kind of weird though, seeing as it's labeled "summer tripwire" I'd kind of expect a pack.


Derrick01 said:
hm? Is that one of the midweek deals? I'd buy it for $10 :)lol).
Click to expand...

No Sir, that is "New Price" according to the front page, so a permanent (well, they could raise it) price drop.

They're completely separate purchases. It's just that the add to cart button is only for The Ball. If you click on the image, it takes you to the page where you can add both.

I enjoyed The Ball at $5. I kinda felt that it dragged on a bit near the end (and there's only 9-10 levels iirc) and the color scheme REALLY gets old (brown + glowing color) but there are some decent puzzles. It definitely lends itself to playing in bits (play a level, quit).
