Binary Domain is just so damn smooth. I'm going to have fun with this.

Just remember to mute sounds and disable subtitles when the characters start talking. And go grab a beer or something.

But I want them on Steam :(

I'll wait for the remake/HD version/whatever it is they are doing to LBA to port it to Android, and if it doesn't get a new PC version soon after, I may end up betraying Gabe and going the GOG route.

I know it's not representative, but the RE6 benchmark ran pretty badly on my PC. ): So now I'm just a little paranoid!

It ran kinda badly on my system too. Though it's more of a stress test than anything.

I'm really excited to hear there will be a Revelations demo! Wonder why RE5 and RE6 don't have one..

The French trailer had such an impressive dubbing. One guy had a local accent (from Marseille) that completely blew my mind. I don't know if it's in the final game, but that was so incredible that I really hope they kept it.

Holler if you're deaf :p

Big Bo was tolerable, maybe even funny at times. The rest were mediocre, with a couple of characters reaching into insufferable territory.

Well Charlie is a bit of an arsehole and Rachel a bit bland but I honestly found them all pretty likeable, especially as the game went on. Dan and Bo never fail to crack me up, especially everyone's reaction to them. Plus Cain, best french robot ever. Give him his own game. Mowing down enemies and as they die spout one liners like "Would you like some cheese with zee whine ?"

Didn't pick up ME3 in the origin sale by chance? That is what me finally decide I should probably play it.
Click to expand...

Nope, but I should have. I picked up 1 and 2 a million years ago on a Steam sale and am just now rocking through them. Great story so far. I was a soldier in ME1, so it's time to go all-in as an adept.

BTW, that Mass Effect 2 intro...wow!

Playing:
Mark of the Ninja - I'm an hour in and enjoying it, which is surprising because 1, I usually don't like stealth games and 2, the reason for 1 is that I suck at stealth games
Torchlight 2 with the Synergies Mod - lots of fun but I'm literally blasting through stuff with my flame hammer
XCOM - 11 hours in and still enjoying it, but I cringe every time I have to go out on a mission (for fear of sending half my team to their deaths)


There are another 45 or so games in my "library" that I'm "playing"... but in reality the three I mentioned are getting the lion's share of my time.

Wishlist:
Despite having a crapload of games to play, including another dozen or so on the 360 and PS3, what do you know? I have about 15 games on my Steam wishlist! What. The. Fuck. Am. I. Doing.

Fieldrunners 2
AoE II HD
and a host of others I can't recall off the top of my head.

I liked that everyone started out as stereotypes but then they all got a bit more rounded as the game went on.

Please..

Derrick style is not fun anymore..
Click to expand...
I've been saying this before Derrick was cool.

Well, not really. I played the game 2 months ago, and that's when I first said this.

I didn't dislike the game. It was fun, flawed but fun. But I think the characters and dialogue are WAY overrated.

I admit that Dan and Bo had their moments, but the line you quoted simply made me cringe. And that annoying British guy had a stupid habit of talking right after a shooting scene, making my character walk ever so slowly and my adrenaline levels deplete instantly.

Yeah exactly and it surprised me the most with Big Bo. For the first 30mins - 1hr you think 'oooh boy' but he becomes a genuinely great character the more the game goes on with some great humour and banter between the teammates.

Seriously, you stupid prisoners don't fucking complain about not being able to call your families after I gave you all like 20 phones and you just broke them. Ungrateful dickwads.

Built in video recording.
Click to expand...

This has to be it. Or at least the one big area that Valve needs to focus on, but I'm sure they're focused on it with TF2, Counter-Strike, DOTA2 and all that. I won't record a ton of crap but something in-client would be vastly preferable to the awful free fraps video recording stuff.

I don't know if I'm liking much the new Duke Nukem 3D version. The music in the main menu loops terribly, with a second or 2 of silence between each iteration, while on the original game it was seamless. And the mouse feels weird.

It'd be nice if you could like, verify game cache integrity and do anything else at the same time (or do the latest updates allow this?). But maybe that's not feasible.

On an unrelated note, looking at the top selling games list, so many of the early access games seem to be there. I imagine getting into the first set of early access games was huge for the people involved.

Resident Evil Revelations raid mode sounds sick

Neiteio said:
It really is. Lemme break down Raid Mode for you:

You start at lv. 1. You level up to lv. 50. Your enemies range from lv. 1 to lv. 50, as well. And in Raid, there are other twists like tiny versions of enemies that are super-fast (hilariously terrifying, in the case of the chainsaw monster), or supersized versions of enemies that are slow but tremendously strong and resilient.

Where the weapons are concerned... You have a variety of handguns, shotguns, machine guns, magnums and rifles. Each has a level -- the higher the level, the stronger the weapon, but you must match or exceed the level in order to equip. Weapons also have a randomized number of slots -- I think the max is like eight or 10. Each slot can house a "part," with the best parts being the "illegal custom parts" squirreled away in optional corners of the levels.

Parts can increase firing speed, hitting power, accuracy, ammo capacity, penetration (for striking multiple foes in one shot), and so on. There are even ones that increase your shots in power the closer/farther you are to an enemy, or that scale in power based on other factors. Some even increase or decrease the target's aggression once shot.

Naturally, the more slots your weapon has, the more ways you can power it up. This makes the pursuit of high-level, high-slot loot in the game VERY addictive, and adds to your incentive to level up, and complete levels on higher difficulties. You also unlock characters as you level up, which you can view in great detail in Raid's model viewer.

There are also other weapons, like decoy bombs that lure away enemies before exploding, and underwater bombs you can use, well, underwater. (And swimming controls are superior here to what they were in RE6, and I say that as someone who otherwise loved the mechanics in that game.)

And remember, there's no time limit in Raid. Unlike Mercs, you don't have the clock breathing down your back. Don't get me wrong, I -love- Mercs, but Raid is definitely a nice change of pace. Twenty-one levels, three difficulty levels, 10 characters (now 12 with HUNK and Rachel, and who knows what else).

And Ghost Ship is INCREDIBLE. With the heart-thumping music, and the HUGE challenge, it's a freaking adventure in itself. A Ghost Ship run can take a solid hour. No saving, no starting over, just BRACE YOURSELF.

what do you guys think will be the next improvement on the steam client?
Click to expand...
What I'd like is for their in-client voice chat to let you set your outputs, so I can keep the chat in my headset but hear everything else through my speakers.

Or for them to supplant categories with tags, so instead of right-clicking on every game and assigning it only one category, I could instead assign games multiple tags such as RPG, Haven't Played Yet, Post-Game, etc; I'd like to be able to filter my games list by, say, RPGs that I haven't started vs RPGs that I'm still working on 100%ing but sometimes just by RPGs regardless of status.

Or to give the client a facelift, including bigger fonts for those of us who play on the couch.

Or chat logs would be nice I guess too.
