How are the controls for the PC port of GTA III and Vice City?

 

[JaseC]

I never realized that owners of a game are given an icon when they post in the game's discussion board. If a person has the mouse icon then it means that they own the game.

Everybody in the Wheelman forum who has a mouse icon is my enemy.

good

Everything's bindable and you're going to be headshotting everyone.

Now if only Rockstar could've scaled the resolutions properly so widescreen isn't cropped/stretched.

Were you streaming over wifi or Ethernet connection?

Wifi. Wireless n.

I tried airplay and kainy earlier this week through the same wifi connection and they were disappointing. So my expectation was really low.

Got the steam email today and tried it immediately. Hooo boy. I was really shocked at how well it ran. Tried kof, hot pursuit and batman. They all ran without lag.

Um why did a shit load of free-to-play games I've never played get added to my game list?

I'd say Valve broke something. F2P games should only be tethered to your library if you own DLC for them.

 

[Pachimari]

Am I the only one who currently can't buy games in the Steam mobile app?

And I can't access the Steam app on Windows either. =/

 

[PriitV]

I got mine after installing the newest beta.

 

[Grief.exe]

Aw. No South Park trading cards.

I was really surprised there weren't any.

 

[Arthea]

no cards? That's like worst possible outcome!

Spoiler

PCGamer is kind of a joke of a publication at this point.

I just posted the first review I see online.

 

[Milamber]

I trust GiantBomb's 5/5. Now I'm wishing I got it.

 

[Arthea]

skimmed through Eurogamer's review, they say it's a good game and good RPG (last part it's rather important to me, that's why I mention), I didn't like some things they wrote about combat system, but we'll leave it for now. From that review it seems like a good game, but nothing special, as expected, perhaps?
Forgot to mention, they liked humour.

RPS is saying the PC port is extremely barebones

No graphic options? Can't redefine controls? No way to switch to keyboard with a gamepad plugged in?
What is this, 2005?

All of the options are actually hidden in the configuration files.

Why did you downgrade?

It's all Ellen Dengengennrnernernsenseseses' fault.

Oh fucking finally. Hopefully. Full release? Early Access? Any way to know?

Call it creepy but I actually remember this, maybe from my lurking days.

 

[BoosterDuck]

Aliens CM is $2 @ amazon

I guess that's low enough for me

That's $2 too much.

 

[Turfster]

That's $2 too much.

62$ too much you mean.

 

[JaseC]

Oh fucking finally. Hopefully. Full release? Early Access? Any way to know?

Nah, that remains to be seen for the time being.

Call it creepy but I actually remember this, maybe from my lurking days.

Later on I made an animated version of it, but my timing couldn't have been worse as just when I finished the bloody thing (it was a pain in the arse trying to trim it down to 120KB without noticeable cuts) I discovered that animated avatars were no more.

 

[NingenJanai]

That's $2 too much.

It's not, I enjoyed the game for 2$

If I'm not mistaken, it has worst ration of thumbs down to up on steam. That has to mean something?

Spoiler

it's not about playing games anymore, according to "hate your life" database, I haven't played more than 60% of my games at all, so one more can't hurt. I would buy it, if Amazon accepted paypal.

Not really, just look at RE4 HD.

Game is far from a masterpiece, but it's not as bad as some make it to be, I enjoyed it for what it was and finished the single player campaign.

Don't do it. It's not even the kind of bad that's funny. It's just a sad, sorry experience. It actually made me feel kind of depressed.
