Remember Me: my god everyone was right, the art direction and world in that game are unbelievably gorgeous. But wow is the combat boring, boring, boring. I would have killed for an "adventure" game set in this world instead of an "action-platformer"

At one point in its dev cycle, it was an RPG for Sony.
Weep with me.

More like Asteroids. Think of it as a high-speed 2D dogfight. Maneuvering to get into good shooting positions is an integral part of the game, it wouldn't work with twin-sticks controls at all. And you get weapons like homing missiles, bombs or one that shoots very slowly but then explodes into smaller projectiles so precision aim isn't required too much.

Old Flash version: http://not.vlambeer.com/luftrauser/

Thanks for the link and info but Asteroids controls means a big fat pass for me. I don't see how what I played in that flash game couldn't be done just as well with dual-stick; manouvering and positioning are very integral parts of any 2D-shooter and pretty much any control method but Asteroids is fun to use for me.

Luftrausers: YES PLEASE. This game is great. The amount of variety in your ship designs is crazy, and some parts really fundamentally change the way you approach the game. Very, very easy to fall into the "okay, one more go" infinite loop.

I can't stop but I should because I'm starting to get dizzy. The funky color schemes are taking their toll.

I disagree completely, it would be a very different, imo lesser game. It's perfect the way it is now, so satisfying to pull off some daring stunt and then smoke the pursuers, everything is balanced perfectly. Being able to shoot in every direction without turning would ruin that.

I did. You bring up a good point...I think I stumbled to that entrance while wandering.
Shrine -> New Londo Ruins -> Valley of Drakes -> Blighttown?
Click to expand...

fixed. but yes, that is a way to save yourself some anxiety. however there is some decent loot on the top side of blight town worth getting. and it is kind of a rite of passage to make all the way down to the bottom without that shortcut.

Summer; around July. I'm sure we'll see those games at a hefty discount sooner than that, on steam or other stores, however.

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.

So has anyone completely migrated to using a DS4 on PC as opposed to a 360 controller?
Click to expand...
I have, I really am enjoying the PS4 controller, I even got a batman sticker to put on the lightbar, it's awesome.

The d-pad is so good, I just can't go back to the Xbox 360 controller, especially since I'm getting more into fighting games(not enough to want a fightpad though since I only have like 3 fighting games)

Luftrausers impressions if anyone's interested
Luftrausers isn't a dogfighting game. Yes, you're in a plane and you're shooting down planes (and boats and blimps), but what it really is frenetic aerial bullet hell chaos. But what makes Luftrausers so good, besides the action and stylized graphics, are the controls. Your plane is insanely maneuverable, able to turn on a dime, reach top speed in a moment. That level of control makes a difference.

It's one thing to weave between some bullets and return fire. It's another to swoop into a dive, deftly plummet through a hail storm of bullets, take out a projectile-spewing battleship, and pull up so close that the water's surface is flared up by your thrusters.

It's one thing to shoot down some planes. It's another to maneuver your enemies into a tight cluster, cut your thrusters, and shoot the planes pursuing you while your momentum carries you in the other direction. (And it helps that just activating your thrusters is so satisfying, thanks to the awesome fwhoosh sound effect)

It's fast, it's hard as hell, it's addictive. The music is great. The visuals are simple, yet suit the game perfectly, displaying all the information you need to know without cluttering the onscreen spectacle. Each new part you unlock feels different, a new tool to master, Luftrausers isn't the most complex game, but it's certainly one of the most addictive and satisfying I've played in a while. I'd say it's up there with One Finger Death Punch, in terms of a simple experience that's laser focused on delivering finely tuned fun gameplay. It's the kind of game where I'm instantly restarting upon defeat, to improve my skills, complete missions, unlock new parts.

Will I get more 25% codes from GMG with that free game giveaway if I create more STeam accounts and link them to other Playfire accounts?

25% code is appreciated, but it seems for me I can use it with any game? Will use it with Banner Saga if it ever goes on sale on GMG soon.

Sorry if this is the wrong place to ask this, but what are the chances of the Bioshock Infinite DLC / Season Pass going on sale in summer / the next 4 months?

I'm debating whether to get the Season Pass when Burial At Sea Episode 2 comes out next week. I don't care about the Early Bird and Clash in the Clouds DLC but getting the Season Pass for £16 or cheaper beats paying £9 each for Burial At Sea 1 & 2.

Yeah don't think I can move to fully using a DS4 atm. Walking dead won't launch using DS4tool. Also here is what mark of the ninja looks like with and without a ds4 plugged in:

http://steamcommunity.com/id/plbela...westfirst&browsefilter=myfiles&view=imagewall
Click to expand...

Stop using DS4 Tool and use SCP DS3 Server by Scarlet Crush. I played Mark of the Ninja entirely using a Dualshock of some sort using it. I'm betting some strange "advanced" setting of DS4 Tool is causing the character to go off screen. As far as TWD goes, there's some xinput dll that needs to be patched/replaced to get it to work properly, I believe, and it affects the 360 controller too.

Yay! Used the 25% off code and Grabbed South park for 33$.

Thinking about creating a new Steamaccount and Pløyfire account so I can get a new code to use on RE4.
