If somebody orders an extra K&L2 from newegg, here I am with my paypal account ready waiting for the serial key! It's steamworks, right?

 

[derFeef]

I don't know why, but I just thought that I would love to have some new Alien Swarm content...

Should I use a gamepad when playing Dustforce or is the keyboard setup on equal footing?

 

[Foliorum Viridum]

Not sure which GAFer it was, but thanks very much to whoever gifted me The Whispered World ages ago when I didn't have the cash for it on the sale.

Finally got around to starting it today and it's great. It looks gorgeous and so far the world is really sucking me in.

It always makes me happy to play a new adventure game!

Should I use a gamepad when playing Dustforce or is the keyboard setup on equal footing?

There are no pressure sensitive controls and few input commands so they are mostly equal. I personally use a controller because it feels more natural.

Recommended 360 button layout:

A: Jump
B: Heavy Attack
X: Dash
Y: Light Attack

Start: Quick Restart

Movement: Analog or D-Pad

This way you can use "A" to accept/confirm and "B" to cancel while navigating menus. Setting "Start" to quick restart will allow you to bring up the menu with the start button while in-game.

Mapping attack to B and Y allows you to easily press both buttons to initiate your AOE attack. Heavy attack on "B" keeps it close to jump so you can one-shot mid-air enemies for faster times.

X as Dash keeps it simple by mapping everything to the face buttons and it tends to work better since you will be tapping dash a lot to get good times.

I just recieved a PR email from SEGA saying that Sonic CD, Sonic Generations' Casino Level and Sonic 4: Ep 1 will be available today... Could we see a Sonic Weekend Deal today?

That would be fantastic, waiting for the next deal to pick up Generations.

If this isn't true, here is a taste of what you can expect:

 

[SteveWinwood]

I still have a copy of sonic cd laying around here somewhere. But I suppose mine doesn't have the japanese music.

It's more than just that, from Sonic Retro:

Unlike other attempts at bringing classic Sonic games to new platforms in the late 2000s (usually handled by Backbone Entertainment), this Sonic CD is neither a port of the original game nor an emulated version. It was re-built from scratch, allowing for a number of enhancements such as widescreen support, online features (such as leaderboards), filters to change the way the game is displayed and a Sonic the Hedgehog 2-styled spindash option. When the game is beaten once, Tails is unlocked. It is otherwise faithful to the original game.

Other changes include reduced loading times, better scaling for the UFOs in the Special Stages, a number of bugfixes and a constant framerate of 60FPS.

Yeah that one guy put a lot of work into it. I saw the quick look of it and they really highlighted the music, that is what I remember mostly haha.

Looks like they're all coming today indeed:

Plus some sort of promotion between Sonic CD and Spiral Knights.

 

[Snkfanatic]

Sonice news is great...Generations DLC and CD get!

 

[Mrbob]

Casino Zone DLC for Sonic Generations? Very nice. I might have to get this depending on the cost.

The Casino Night DLC is only a pinball minigame, but it will cost only $1.59.

Phew. For a moment I thought that maybe SEGA Spain made a mistake and sent the mail to the press before they should, as no other site reported it... I'm not geting killed today after all! (By the way, you put the same link twice).

 

[morningbus]

Sonic 4, Episode 1 at $10?

It's too bad GMG is a pain in the ass to buy from, or I would jump on this.

 

[Baha]

Ship Simulator Extremes is the steam daily @ 75% off ($7.49).

 

[Mama Robotnik]

Hahaha.

 

[morningbus]

Sonic CD comes with these costumes for Spiral Knights:

They should have done TF2 items instead. People would kill for the chance to put two tails on their Heavy.

 

[MRORANGE]

Sonic CD has achievements and Spiral Knights items:

^FFFF......

Actually only the Sonic suit comes with the game, the Tails accessory is an item you can now buy in Spiral Knights.

 

[Tempy]

Ship Simulator Extremes is the steam daily @ 75% off ($7.49).

I see that it has cruise liners.

Hmmm..........

 

[MNC]

Sonic CD is everything done right. Good port on a new retro engine, steam achievements, great price (no dollar = euro) and low to begin with. SEGA gets PC gaming quite right. (Everybody hates sonic 4 tho lol so not buying that)

 

[Lord British]

And my Sega coupon won't work with Episode 1.

 

[Forkball]

Enhanced Sonic CD is $5.

Sonic 4 Ep 1 is $10.

The best sellers charts should be amusing.

 

[JCV]

Definitely. 5$ for this is a steal.

 

[wutwutwut]

And my Sega coupon won't work with Episode 1.

Coupons won't work on games released after January 2. Says so in the description.

 

[LiquidMetal14]

Yea but no on Sonic 4.

 

[MRORANGE]

can someone tell me what's wrong with Sonic the Hedgehog 4 ?

 

[Relax.MX]

I just finished Phychonauts...and...really...is AMAZING this game!!! too much creativity for just one game!!

EDIT: Im gonna start Max Payne saga for the first time on PC(thanks to the great Confused for this gift )...there are some mods recommendations?

 

[Spwn]

can someone tell me what's wrong with Sonic the Hedgehog 4 ?

The game has very bad physics that make it a pain to play. Here's an example.

 

[Joe Molotov]

can someone tell me what's wrong with Sonic the Hedgehog 4 ?

It's a Sonic game?

 

[Dr. Zoidberg]

can someone tell me what's wrong with Sonic the Hedgehog 4 ?

It just doesn't "feel" right. It's also expensive for what you get.


However, I have it on Xbox and it's not as bad as people make it out to be.

 

[Lord British]

Coupons won't work on games released after January 2. Says so in the description.

So it does. Boy, is my face red.

Edit: As for Sonic 4, it's a bit short but it's good fun. Certainly overpriced on Steam.

Stump's gonna be thrilled, he loves sonic.

 

[Stallion Free]

Right so what I took away from all this is that I should buy Sonic 4 Episode I: The Phantom Menace and just skip Sonic CD.

 

[Stumpokapow]

Stump's gonna be thrilled, he loves sonic.

 

[catabarez]

I'm definitely getting Sonic 4 when it goes on sale.

I just have to

 

[morningbus]

I preordered Sonic CD on Gamersgate a few weeks back and they've yet to supply me my CD-key. Should I make a thread calling people who buy from Gamersgate "ballwashers?"

 

[shintoki]

Your avatar does not fit how I pictured you. I imaged top hats and monocles.

Sounds like the only appropriate action for that travesty.

 

[Kifimbo]

Is Sonic All-Stars Racing worth 4.99$ ?

 

[Stallion Free]

It does have split-screen which I found to be worth 5$ of fun with my GF (though she still prefers MK Wii).
