You bought it? I'm kinda in the mood for a dumb hack'n'slash and I've been looking at Blades of Time and thinking it might do. Is it enjoyable? All opinions are wellcome.

The real question is whether or not Blades of Time is a better game than Garshasp, the greatest hack'n'slash of all time.
I actually thought Showdown was going to be a 15 dollar DD title. Game be bombing so hard.
I find it depressing the game is 37 bucks with a 10 percent discount and a group discount. F1 2010 (which had an expensive license) released at 39.99 and with the pre-order discount was 35.99. I guess it's better than 49.99 and no pre-order discount (which they've been pulling of late), but it's still kind of a joke. Especially when you consider the shallow and limited scope of the game.

Mock me all you want, I'm still somewhat interested in Blades of Time.
I need something to distract me while I wait for my new laptop to replay My Favorite Game Ever TM (AKA The Witcher 2).

That will teach them a lesson for continually shoving that shit into mainline Dirt games.

Watch it sell boat loads thanks to you two jinxing it.
Haha.
It should be interesting. I don't really expect it to do much better than Ridge Racer (which I'm not sure ever charted in the top 20 even on release day).

I can't seem to trade Bejeweled 3 for anything, so first person to quote this and adds me to Steam gets it for free because it's pointless it just sitting there.
I can give you something, maybe.

So, Steam is down...
Is it me or has it been quite unstable lately?
EDIT: It's back.

I'd buy it for $1.25 but they so rarely put stuff on 97% discount.
I was going to wait till the price drop but fuck it, just bought it. I will post some screenshots soon.Mock me all you want, I'm still somewhat interested in Blades of Time.

Please select some nice screenshots of "Ayumi, the gorgeous gun and sword-wielding treasure hunter".

Oh, I'm on board the Blades of Time train, it looks like a passable hack n' slash action rpg but that video of the constant wooden, detached narration by the protagonist is hilarious and what pushed me to buy it. Blades of Time looks like Deadly Premonitions 2.0, I can't wait to play it.

Oh geez, I didn't pay attention when I bought Blades of Time last night, I could've started installing it when I went to bed. Didn't even realise it was already out.

lol I thought I was the only person who loved DNF.
It looked pretty horrible from watching giantbomb's quick look of it.
I think worse than DNF. Though now after saying that, you're probably more interested.

Unlike DNF which was average, Postal 3 is just terrible. Even if you have some sort of morbid curiosity I'd say wait until it's on sale for 1 or 2 bucks.
Aside from the fact that DP has legitimately amazing writing/acting, sure.

Ive been having this problem as well.
@jaundice, you really don't like the VA? In that trailer, it sounds great to me. A little rasp, not overdone...
I'm on the verge of just buying it. It looks cool visually, and it's not as detestable as X-Blades [re: the character's design].

As promised, some Blades of Time screenshots:
It's an ok port. One of the big issues the 360 game had was the framerate and of course it runs super smooth on PC. [url=http://www.abload.de/img/7f0jpd.png]Config options[/URL]
For those using SLI, set the sli compatibility bits to 0x02402005 (which is the same as X-Blades).
Also, there is no v-sync option, though the tearing is not that bad. DON'T FORCE IT THROUGH THE DRIVERS, it will make the game run like ass.

no in game vsync and enabling it via drivers makes the game run worse?
not a fan of that.
btw, have u tried D3Doverrider?

nVidia users in that situation can cap framerates through the drivers, IIRC. AMD users in that situation can regret their choice of GPU. And use DXTory, I guess.
In general I'm a big believer of not judging something before you experienced it but once in a while something comes along that defies belief.
Revelations 2012 showed up on Steam, release is in 2days.
Here is the trailer of the game http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uTc7ZPMxFak
It's hard to tell if this is supposed to be a joke, an early 90s gaming spoof or serious.
My question however, is the only reason this ended up on Steam that they licensed the Source Engine? There were some pretty cool games that got rejected by Steam recently and Valve doesn't disclose the reasons, like Syder Arcade and Unepic but then something like Revelations 2012 appears and I end up questioning the kind of guidelines they use.

Any suggestions for horror games that aren't Amnesia?
They're not too far removed from Amnesia (same dev, same style of game), but the Penumbra series is worth a look. I still need to finish up the first one, but it's really spooky and atmospheric and the sequels are supposed to be even better.
If there are any other good, real horror games on Steam, I'd love to know as well.
