...I'm sorry, are you blindly dissing Breath Of Death VII, Cthulhu Saves The World and To The Moon? Behave yourself!

Everybody can also use a keyboard but that doesn't mean all books that are typed using a keyboard are crap.
This is a really stupid argument. I don't really care how "hard" something is to create. I care whether or not the end product is good, original, intelligent, etc. Things shouldn't be valued based upon the amount of work someone put into them. They should be valued based upon what you think the end product is worth.

I don't get how you can miss the fees. Here (but it might not be the case everywhere), paypal is pretty transparent about what you pay and what the person on the other side will receive. Hell, you can choose the amount you want the other to receive, rather than what you want to pay.
edit: seeing the other posts, I guess it depends on regions. Which is weird considering how universal this feature should be.

These are the exception, not the rule.

Really tempted to get Alice. What are the chances it will be even cheaper during the summer sale? 80% off is a pretty damn good sale, but I guess the base price could go down...?
And how demanding is it? My laptop can comfortably run stuff like Skyrim, Diablo 3, Just Cause 2, etc.

Actually, Breath of Death VII and Cthullu Saves the World were both made using XNA, not RPG Maker.
Though I agree with the sentiment, what matters is the end result, not which tool was used to produce the result.
I'm not seeing how people would miss this either.
That is only for the US probably? Since in my region, Paypal doesn't say what are the fees nor does it give us the option to take the fee.
Also I can't sent personal payments like Gifts nor receive. The only options we get when sending payments are:
- Goods
- eBay item
- Service/Other
You'll have to calculate the fees externally using online calculators and such.

Yup. This screen isn't shown for example in german Paypal at all, and you can't select "gifts" either. Basically all options are tax-included, and if people don't know that, they aren't even aware they sent less money than they told PP to send.

It's not very demanding, if you can play those games comfortably, you'll have no problems with Alice. PhysX can be demanding, but that's about it.

Won't be cheaper.
PhysX can be pretty demanding. But dat hair.
Yeah, I'd probably have to run it with the PhysX stuff turned off.
But how good is the game really? Like I said, I'm tempted (and I did enjoy the original), but... I don't know, the gameplay doesn't necessarily look terribly interesting.
Thanks. Although when I say "comfortably", I don't mean that I'm getting a constant 60 fps (which I guess is what some people mean when they say that). But they do run rather smoothly (typically 30-60 fps depending on the location and what's going on, with occasional dips below that) on High-ish settings.
I liked it. I think it kinda got a bum rap. It's nothing new, but it is an actual 3d platformer--rare these days. The spooky art is really consistent. There's only one portion of the game that's a bitch.

One question:
I've backed up my old steam folder onto a separate HDD, I've just copied the Steamapps data into my new steam directory but it's not seeing any of my games. Any ideas?

Any UK bro can help me with that Alice? I'll pay you via Paypal and I'll handle fees and such. Please?

If you enjoy 3D platformers it's great. Not without fault, but you'd be hard pressed to regret $6 on it.
None of Alice herself is done with Physx, her hair/clothes look the same on low as they do with high (I don't think there was off, just low/medium/high). Actually maybe the butterflies are when you phase around, but they're not too big a deal.
Definitely run it at 60 fps though, by fixing the ini file, looks much nicer than the hard-locked 30 it runs by default.

I think it is one of those games that isn't very good but is still worth buying and playing.

Completed Homefront in one sitting. Now I never have to play Homefront again.
It's alright I guess. I was playing it in hope that it got more Red Dawn-y as the game went on but it didn't. My favourite parts were the battle for White Castle and smoking koreans outside of a Hooters. Graphics looked ok. Texture quality was low and the people were super shiny at points. Oh, and there was soooo much lens flair. Other than that it's pretty forgettable and the scripting broke about three times.
I'd probably give it a C. It was worth the 3 euro I paid for it but it probably wasn't worth my monday evening. At least now I know what Homefront was.

What the what? It's 9.99 here. And that's with the 80% discount.
Well just an update the guy sent me enough to cover the costs.
I'm still down for gifting Alice or Max Payne 3 from the UK store if anyone wants it

listen to the mad man
To balance it out, this thread seems to contain a lot of people saying "Meh, this pretty, expansive, unique-in-a-world-of-shooters Alice game miiight be worth like $6", so the bar is pretty low. =PEverything about this is too generous

Homefront 2 is gonna be interesting/funny. Which branch is working on it again? Crytek UK/Ex-Free Radical?
What the what? 2,99?? Is this for real?

Alice is fun, however it gets tedious. It looks great and I liked the charm the game had. I just couldn't get past Chapter 4.
Do we even have any information on the game?

Ah come on now. Apart from breaking a couple of times, the game isn't broken, it plays a fine for what it is and made me forget about life for a couple of hours. That's about a C in my books.

A 3rd person platformer that borrows heavily from Carroll's Alice in Wonderland. It's a twisted, dark telling of a girl Alice who was traumatized by a fire that killed her family.
Thank you so much.

Just checked:
- Crytek UK
- CryEngine 3
- PS3/360/PC/WiiU and maybe PS4/720
- 2014 release
That's it.
Might take a while, but I would suppose so.

It's most likely Steamworks, so yes... Why the impatience?
Jzero

No it's because someone told me it was not going to be on Steam and just wanted to make sure.
Glass Rebel

I just checked for you, it's definitely using Steamworks so it's gonna be on Steam from the beginning. That someone lied to you or didn't know any better.

Suprise, Midnight Club 2 works fine on Windows 7 64bit without any tinkering.
You sure? It feels stuttery for me. Doesn't wanna stay at a solid framerate.

It's in regards to the note on its store page about it even working at all.
Running solid 60 for me maxed out at 1440p otherwise.
