IIRC they were outsourced too, and they were rushed along, so the poor quality isn't unsurprising
i know I'm in the minority on this one, but I didn't have a problem with the boss fights in DX: HR. I mean, they weren't stunning or anything, but they weren't offensively bad either. The Typhoon system is the great equalizer, and it's not like I was scraping for Praxis to the point where I regretted getting it.
I'll admit I'm interested in seeing what the Director's Cut does with the boss fights, though. I know a lot of people were unhappy with the boss fights because they specced for stealth and weren't really equipped for them, so I'm curious about what changes were made to accomodate different playstyles.

Most of us played no-kill playthroughs.

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.
Sometimes it's the small things Enhanced Steam does that are the most useful:
(Adds count of games with drops remaining to badge pages)
(Adds count of games with drops remaining to badge pages)
I did too, surprisingly enough. Though in my case, "nonlethal" was less "sneak everywhere and try not to be seen" and more "sneak around until someone notices me, then PUNCH THEM INTO UNCONSCIOUSNESS WITH MY GRANOLA-POWERED CYBERFISTS." (I really liked the nonlethal takedowns. >.>)
(And yes, I realize that having to kill the bosses means that it's technically not a "no-kill" playthrough, but that distinction feels kind of like nitpicking to me. Having to kill a few of your opponents as part of the story didn't particularly bother me. Though it'd be interesting if sparing them in the Director's Cut has repercussions for the story, positive or negative.)

If I uninstall Steam, will it delete all the games?

Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.
Yes. Move the Steamapps folder to prevent this.

So I didn't know about the upcoming DE: HR Director's cut. If I had, I would have waited. I sure hope Eidos releases the update free to current owners or that it is a cheap DLC upgrade for $5.
I never understood that. How hard would it be for Valve to have the uninstaller ask if you want it to delete the games currently on your HD when uninstalling the client? It just seems a little user-unfriendly. : /
It's "we even monetize shit you can unlock or pick up in-game" Squeidos, I wouldn't hold my breath.

Boss battles in Deus Ex were terribad.
Not to mention the ending was....subpar.
So what? That's like max 1 hour in an otherwise oustanding 20+ hours game.

I started a complete stealth playthrough using nonlethal weapons.
If I have to turn down the difficult in order to complete boss fights, there is a design problem somewhere.
Don't get me wrong, the game was fantastic...but the boss fights break stealth playthroughs
Yeah, on my second playthrough, I got Typhoon as quickly as possible to just oneshot the god damned bosses. Also, the "ending" lasts a lot longer than an hour, sadly.
Heh, I get that. Guess it didn't really bother me. It's not like the original DX's bosses were balanced any better.

So I narrowed my choices down to Sir You Are Being Hunted, Legend of Dungeon, or some other unexpected release or Early Access game.
I realized my specs can't run Betrayer, I can wait for Shelter, and I'll wait for games like Electronic Super Joy to go on sale.
Any impressions of Legend of Dungeon?

But ... but it's 2TB.

I don't really need a tag, but I figured I'd get one to make people jealous. Is it working?
I think so long as you keep it on the same hard drive it won't actually "move" it, it'll just re-assign its directory address. You also might be able to rename it and the uninstaller will leave it alone rather than delete it, since I (think) uninstallers usually only remove things they put there in the first place.
I have not played Legend of Dungeon but it seems that there are games in this genre you can already check out.
While with Sir there is pretty much just Day Z that is comparable and who knows when that will actually come out?
Also keep in mind that with purchasing Sir, you are being hunted you are also promised free updates as they develop the game. I'm very much looking forward to the multiplayer mode that will launch after the full release. It could be something special.
M.O.O.N's track, 'Dust', will be featured on the Hotline Miami 2: Wrong Number soundtrack.

I actually bought Legend of Dungeon last week, cause I thought it would make a fun coop game for when friends are over. Played a total of 15 minutes before we all got bored of it, for a rogue-like there was no challenge, none of us got anywhere close to death and the main problem is just randomly wandering around trying to find the exit. Also combat is just not fun at all. So far I hugely regret my purchase, I only hope that the fact that it is a beta that it gets better in the final release.
Oh god, how I wish I had the hard drive setup to do that. Download each time I want to play ? Fuck it, all is there, just a click away ! But then that's so much space for a relatively small gain (no bandwith cap, play 1-2 game at a time).
And then there is this Xbmc / NAS setup I keep dreaming about, but ripping 400 dvd would have a cost HD wise I'm not sure I want to calculate. A price doubled by Raid because I don't want to lose anything...
That's it, HD space is the true first world problem !
Heh, I get that. Guess it didn't really bother me. It's not like the original DX's bosses were balanced any better.
You could kill most (?) of them in the cutscenes they appeared in though. I had a fun time doing that!
Yatagarasu was in the Doujin bundle a couple weeks ago. I played some last night. It's like 3rd Strike meets KoF, and for some reason I had Tokido as an assist. He would just pop up at my health bar and say something in Japanese every time I did something cool. It's a 4-button fighter with high on low parry set to the extra two buttons. Feels really good.
I don't think I'll be able to play Skullgirls late at night too much. I was using my quietest stick last night, and it was still too loud.
I have been playing a lot of older games lately and it is really annoying when they jack up my desktop resolution and stack all my windows in a corner because I use multiple monitors. Is there any sort of program I can use for when a game goes full screen at a lower resolution on my primary monitor and keep it from changing my other monitors too? I know this isn't strictly Steam related but hopefully not too OT.

It's mind boggling that Valve keeps adding new features on Steam without polishing what they currently have.
They need someone that wants to do improve the client and I'm not sure that person exists. With a client as old as Steam, it must be a nightmare to deal with.

Yeah Valve doesn't strike me as a "coding standards" kind of company.
It may be they are just holding things back for a steambox related client redo. It certainly needs one.
For me an issue will be having a guard detecting you when he's not supposed to, forcing the player to do something (in reference to the boss fights) and even going further by not allowing a stealth path to "take them out" is completely stupid in an otherwise great game, aggravated by the fact that the rest of the game is about letting and encouraging the player to make choices (independently of whatever that changes anything in the end or not).

*raises hand* If I worked at Valve I'd want to focus not just on the website but the client too. I've been adding features and fixing bugs on the Steam website now for about 9 months and I still find new things like this to add to help people use their existing platform.
