Support NeoGAF

Did they ever fix the controls in Dungeon Siege? I played the demo for a while on both keyboard and controller and gave up out of frustration.

Edit: a 2.6 Gb Psychonauts update. WTF?

 

[Blizzard]

So I played the demo of Civ V but man it just throws you into it, no tutorial or anything. I think I could like the game if I knew what I was doing. Also the Narrator... Liam Neeson?

I think the actual full game has a tutorial, though you presumably missed the Steam sale by now. I thought Civ 4 was pretty confusing and I never made it very far, but Civ 5 seemed to do a good job of explaining things and I made it all the way through a game.

So why is Psychonauts currently downloading a 2.5 GB update?

Psychonauts 2 demo

Psychonauts 2 demo

Sadly only Steam achievements, cloud support and a Mac update.

 

[Sportbilly]

Boooo!!

 

[The Mana Legend]

So I've been wanting to try out the Dungeon Siege series, despite hearing about its total mediocrity after the first one. Are all three of them worth the $27?

Sadly, only steam Achievements and a Mac update.

Plus steam cloud

Edit: nvm

Civ V is plenty accessible. The game does a much better job of helping you understand what your choices mean than previous Civs. That said, it has other issues ... but none that should really matter too much to a new Civ player.

Also, it's not Liam Neeson, but rather W. Morgan Sheppard.

widescreen support?

 

[Huevos de Oro]

probably a weird one but is MotionJoy working for anyone else? Whenever I go into it, the screen just says "500 Internal Server Error". It's weird cause it shouldn't really have anything to do with the internet other than the ads.

Was wondering about the same issue. Can't get the DS3 tool to launch, and all I get is a 500 error. Can't even load the webpage either, and there doesn't seem to be any way to load the drivers locally, what gives?

Eurogamer's GOTY on Steam. nice.

I have the game, but it won't show on my mac :(

 

[Stallion Free]

widescreen support?

I could have sworn it had widescreen support in already.

 

[LocoMrPollock]

It does.

HOLY SHIEEET

 

[Huevos de Oro]

Never played Psychonauts, DLing the demo as we speak. I want to see why the mention of this game brings these types of responses:

HOLY SHIEEET

 

[crimsonheadGCN]

Crasher, the A-RTS with vehicles, was pulled off of Steam. The official website is no longer available and the Facebook page hasn't been updated since April. I guess the company went out of business.

 

[Deleted member 10571]

Quick, tell me about Gundemonium now! It looks great, it sounds great, it can't be a really good game, can it?

 

[Sgt.Pepper]

Sale incoming? =D

 

[jim-jam bongs]

Did they patch a fun game into Psychonauts or is that too much to ask for?

Crazy-ass and fantastic platformer made by Tim Schafer and written by Erik Wolpaw (now writer at Valve, wrote Portal and Portal 2)

we used to be friends

I never seen such a horrible launch and handling of a game.

Lies. If I buy that Isaac game will you forgive me?

 

[snoopeasystreet]

How big of a download is Deus Ex?

 

[Snuggles]

Also curious about Dungeon Siege 3. Heard this one wasn't quite as buggy as most Obsidian stuff.. Played the demo for a bit, but given that it's Obsidian, I doubt what little I played is representative of the whole.

Any good?

It is good. It's probably not gonna be in any GOTY lists, but it's a solid game. I did a little write up in this thread when I finished it a couple months ago:
http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=30303731&postcount=12401
TL;DR - the plot and characters were below par for an Obsidian game, but the combat system is a lot of fun and I thought the pacing and length were just right for a game like this. I wasn't blown away by it, but it was worth the time I spent with it.

Plus, everyone should buy it just to support our heroes @ Obsidian.

Odd, they just released Lucha Fury on XBLA and PSN a couple weeks ago. Must have been last thing they were doing before shutting down.

EDIT: Guess it was part of Mindscape ditching the games industry:

[snoopeasystreet]

Just bought Deus Ex on http://cdkeysdiscount.com/ for $23.74. World wide key. No VPN required. I used the code cdface to get it for that price. I'm guessing the game is worth the 18 yoyo's I paid for it.

Holy shit that soundtrack. THAT SOUNDTRACK! So goood!

 

[DyslexicAlucard]

Anyone know why the Red Orchestra 2 Beta is downloading a pretty large update? I forgot to uninstall it when I got the full game.

 

[fresquito]

So no word on Blood Bowl Legendary Edition? :-/

I haven't played it myself, but here's a lengthy video explaining how the game works;

It looks kind of interesting. I like monsters and I like football, maybe I'll get it a shot.

Well, it's not that I don't know about how the game works. I played the board game (not much and long ago). The thing that worries me is how does the online work. If you can resume online games, how's the AI, etc. The board game was lots of fun.

 

[Clydefrog]

I have Post-Apocalyptic Mayhem on my Steam wishlist, yet I still can't justify buying it for $5.

I should probably take it off my wishlist.

I just wanted a game like Death Rally

 

[Ledsen]

I'm guessing it's still not much more than eyecandy and a cool story.

MAYBE

 

[Gvaz]

I wish I could get Dungeon Siege 1&2 without having to buy DS3

 

[Nabs]

I'm surprised I still have this thing on my list. I don't own the game.

 

[jim-jam bongs]

That was basically my impression, yeah. Made me laugh a lot but not enough to make up for not really enjoying the gameplay. I might try it with a guide or something so I can breeze through it and enjoy Erik's jokes.

Only?

Anyway, apparantly:

- Xbox360 Controller Support
- Steamplay (Mac Version)
- Achievements
- Steamcloud
- Graphical updates (level files and shaders updated + new directx files)
- Localization updates

 

[Blizzard]

So THAT is what MOBA stands for. I suppose I never knew.

Is the 360 controller support confirmed?

I know the game accepted the 360 controller as a general "game-pad" but you had to bind everything yourself. Does this add 360 button overlays?

I'll check when I get off work in a few hours in case no one has yet.

 

[Chinner]

looks like bf3 and origin have made a major blow to steam. every night it would usually peak at 4.2m but tonight its only at 3.8m. sinking ship?

 

[Archie]

Just wait until Dota 2 comes out 5.2m npnp

 

[inky]

Wow, totally forgot about the bf3 beta. I had early access due to owning MoH too. Oh well.

LOL Rise of the Immortals. The art of that game haunts my dreams =/

I haven't checked it yet myself, but according to the Double Fine forums it is.

steam has too many colours and/or is kiddy.

 

[Rodney McKay]

Not that I needed much motivation to start this game up again, but achievements and better PC gamepad controls means I'm starting this as soon as I get home.
