I'm imagining it and all I'm thinking is that I don't want to play a shitty game like Enslaved.

I really enjoyed enslaved personally.

 

[Blue Ninja]

I'd rather get Age of Mythology if we're getting Ensemble games.

A HERO HAS FALLEN! etc

I still have the Gold Edition lying around, I should really reinstall it.

I really enjoyed enslaved personally.

So did I. It was...quite decent.

I played a bit of it, it seemed average but wrapped in a great looking package, story and characters actually seemed great. For a proper late-port price? gimme

edit: same way I felt about Castlevania LOS' port

There it is. It also isn't too long which can sometimes be a positive.

I'm awful at photoshop but you guys might get a giggle out of this.

so, little bit of brutal honesty here: I think Betrayer looks like shit

im seeing screens through my activity feed and..

ew

this kind of thing would look a hell of a lot better if the saturation wasnt turned up to 11

Its something that has to be played.

Your eyes take some time getting used to the art style. Once they are used to the aesthetic, it really lends itself to the atmosphere.

With that said, I am sure there is some tweaking to be done.

 

[Fuu]

Redeeming on Origin finally worked on my side.

 

[AcceptableGhost]

Enslaved is a shit tier game, same with Heavenly Sword.
DmC is a step above that I guess - but that is not saying much.

Edit: That said, for people who like that game the PC version would probably be ideal considering the console versions had "I the developer do not give a fuck about the framerate" framerates.

 

[Gbraga]

that Enslaved on the registry better be this Enslaved

I'm sorry, what?

Enslaved was... ok.

Glad it was short.

Way too easy from what I remember.

You still going to make a video?

30 minutes into Thief 2:
- Controls are great, for some reason I was expecting them to be more convoluted but maybe that's just a console thing with old games and weird controls
- Visuals are not as off-putting as I expected. Although I'm definitely going to try the NewDark mod. And definitely going to pick up SS2 in the next Sale
- Thief obviously came first, but I'm getting that Hitman vibe: large open semi-sandbox levels, multiple routes, etc.
- Great stealth mechanics, the various arrows provide tons of potential options, almost puzzle-esque

Now just to clarify, in the Running Interference tutorial mission, I'm supposed to go back to Basso or is there a balcony or something where I can whistle to him?

Anyway, a great impulse buy for $1.74. Now I can be a proper stealth fan and finally say I've played Thief!

Holy shit!

I love that game, can't wait to play it on proper settings to do that art justice.

Tales of Vesperia next please

 

[jediyoshi]

Lol finally got a drop in csgo, there's a sell option right in the inventory

 

[Prophane33]

Enslaved on Steam would be what finally makes me care about that game. While I was a bit dismissive of it, I'd heard good things from those that actually played it.

Edit: Can't wait to finish getting these last cards so I can give the new CSGO update a try.

 

[Phinor]

Space Hulk tomorrow! It must have sold at least ten copies so far at that price. Anyway, you can get it for less than half-price using keys if you dare attempt that weird business.

Betrayer sounds interesting after reading the eurogamer article but that art style seems to divide opinion. Might have to give it a shot.

 

[dot]

lol ew. Enslaved?

I know someone who's gonna be excited about that on pc.....lol

It's a very casual game, it is pretty, has good characters and a nice story. Don't expect anything close to hardcore in that game. It's very enjoyable for what it is.

Think Uncharted but focused on platforming and melee instead of shooting, and not nearly as refined.

Ya I'm working on it, I was having issues with Sony Vegas and my graphics drivers that I have gotten sorted.

I'm going to record audio and get it uploaded.

Are you playing it without any mod at all? How does it run on Windows 7? I'm interested in the game, but I'm scared it won't run well.

 

[Senator Soufflé]

I'm not certain about Space Hulk, I want to get it because it's 40k and all ( especially if the trading cards give little Terminator emoticons etc) but I haven't found any videos that justify the price.

The keys route might be a good idea though as you say. I've got Worms tomorrow too.

 

[denx]

It will run fine, don't worry.

And if it does give you trouble, there is the NewDark patch available.

 

[Baron von Loathsome]

The first Thief runs fine without mods, and I'm playing the Gold version that came out the year before Thief II. They run on the same engine and everything.

 

[Miker]

I don't get the Enslaved hate, at least not on PC. It's a mechanically dull, but visually pretty game that had its flaws exacerbated due to being on console. I'd say it's a little worse than, say, Uncharted 1. I enjoyed my time with it for what I paid, and I'd easily recommend a PC port at around $10 on sale.

 

[More_Badass]

No mods at all, and runs great. Granted, I'm still on the first mission and who know, maybe the larger areas could cause issues, but I doubt it. So far, no lag, no slow-to-load textures, no noticeable problems

Different strokes, I don't get it either though, I thought it was an outlandish game with cool characters and great environments. It felt very bleak despite being bright and colorful. Will buy on Steam for sure.

Are the cutscenes playing for you? I know from experience that there are issues with the first game's cutscenes.

You have to go back to spawn and use the whistle.

 

[Salsa]

I will remember this.

I thought Enslaved was great. Wonderful characters.

Yeah, I think it's a great looking game, and will definitely shine on PC hardware. Here's a nice screenshot of it once freed from console constraints:

 

[Stumpokapow]

So... there's something called Enslaved in the Steam registry. Just sayin'.

I don't know if it's the Namco game, but they definitely like that Steam money.

Excellent, it's a great game (and at times a beautiful one!) and by far the most egregious flaw is performance.

 

[Whools]

That automatic image thing is fancy.

 

[catabarez]

Don't do this to me guys. I've been wanting Enslaved on PC since I beat it a while ago.

 

[Stumpokapow]

Thanks. It's not as flexible as I'd like it to be but I don't want to use any APIs external to Steam for obvious dependency reasons

 

[More_Badass]

Are the cutscenes playing for you? I know from experience that there are issues with the first game's cutscenes.

I've only seen one cutscene and it played fine, but it seemed a bit...fuzzy. But at least that first cutscene before the first level played fine

You have to go back to spawn and use the whistle.

That's what I thought. Thanks

 

[Turfster]

That's what I thought. Thanks

The cutscenes are like, 320x240 video

This is a great idea.

Hopefully, next up will be quantity purchases in Market.

 

[Sbik]

There are like 3 or 4 Mirror's Edge keys not taken in last 10 pages.

 

[xelios]

I liked what I played of Enslaved, and I approve of the use of color as well. Looking forward to playing it in full on PC.

 

[Prophane33]

I think it's one of those games that just about everyone has.

 

[jaundicejuice]

The ending to Enslaved is on an Ed Wood level of comedic gold. Game's worth playing just for the laughs at the end.

 

[Salsa]

just watched some enslaved console footage and the IQ reminded me of that last of us screenshot

thank fuck these machines are done

 

[Baron von Loathsome]

It sounds like you're well-off in that regard.

 

[Acorn]

Hmm, so looks like sr4 is good. I'll buy it to tide me over to gta.

Yeah, I liked the game and the characters, but the story... People shouldn't eat spacecake.

 

[NaM]

I would say that combat is a close second and it's sad because I really liked it but the combat is a very important part of the game!
