I know I have the motor skills and reflexes of an 80 year old.

It is really good at what it tries to do. That is, at creating an airplane based strategy game. The thing is, what it tries to do just isn't that much fun.
So you play a few missions, think "this is really well done" but will then stop playing because it is all too limited.
Now if they made a full blown strategy game (tanks, boats, soldiers etc) and then had the planes on top as one component? That would be pretty special. Overall, worth a couple of dollars (Amazon plus voucher) just as something different.
Thanks, but I already know how to do it: X + stick in the direction of the enemy (playing with a 360 pad). I just can't get the timing right, and if I still manage it to connect, I end up performing a regular block instead of a damaging parry.
Hopefully I'll get better with practice. I wouldn't want to have to drop the game this soon.
Just a little something to kick off the weekend. : ) I enjoyed this one - hope whoever ends up with it enjoys it, too.

Any suggestions for fun, dumb, pick-up-and-play online multiplayer games (preferably not fps)?
It's not hard, attack and move in the direction of the attack. You need to master it as every boss fight especially after Blade Wolf requires basic mastery of it.

I finally finished Risk of Rain, amazing game!
I'll cheat (somewhat) and say Chivalry Medieval Warfare, since it's not technically a FPS, but rather a First Person Melee Combat game. It's some glorious hilarious fun.

Some brief thoughts on games I've been playing.
Bleed - I completed it on all difficulties and did almost everything there is to do, really short (around 20 minutes a playthrough) but really fun. Playing through story mode is just training for arcade mode, which I managed to beat on normal but I doubt I'll finish hard or v. hard -- it won't stop me from trying though. The combination of air-dashing with minute finessing from analog controls, along with analog stick shooting and a manually triggered bullet time all just work really well. Weaving through enemies and bullets while trying to maximize my own damage output was always satisfying.
Tomb Raider - Awkward camera movement in games has never really bothered me, like headbob and such, but the constant jitter and tilt as a result of every step Lara takes literally gave me a headache the last I played. And while I've never been a huge fan of QTEs the game manages to make them worse by occasionally not telling you what button to press, and even when it does it'll list the button at the bottom of the screen despite the QTE overlay over the action will be on a completely different end of the screen. Lemme tell ya it was real fun failing a spot over and over due to the trial and error of trying to figure out what button they wanted me to press.
Combat's been a bit fun so far, bow kills are always good. I will say I wish this game dropped the whole audiologs in the form of transcribed journal entries though, I'm already checking out from any sense of character or world investment and I just want to get with the combat scenarios. Why the hell am I finding a journal about Whitman's crumbling marriage in an area that we both just arrived to?

That is all I have ever been able to do is block, sometimes I time it right and you get the slow-down queue so you can chop them up nice and thin like deli meats.

Thanks for DS.
Lol, where is that gif from and what is the context?
Anybody else on GAF having these really weird perfomance issues in Deadly Premonition? The game runs at full speed, seemingly, but for some reason most of what's happening on the screen is sort of choppy. It's hard to explain, but here's someone else's video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I5pmA2BlVnw.
It seems that a simple restart was able to solve this issue for most people, but I had no such luck. I wonder if it has something to with Optimus, as I'm aware that DPfix does not support it. By the way, it's exactly the same with the DPfix, only in 1080p.

No reason to go uninstalling/reinstalling stuff.
Steam > SteamApps > common > Transformers Fall of Cybertron > redist, delete vcredist_x86.
Problem solved.

That got me to rewatch the Poongko Daigo match from evo 2011. That shit was amazing to watch live.
Oh while we're off-topic, Taylor Swift did sing a song called "Ronan"

Breast cancer awareness?
If her next album has a track named Una then we'll know she's doing Saoirse's full name in reverse!
More like best cancer awareness!

Guys, I'd rather you not post stuff in this thread that could make me look like a perv in front of my sister. Had to disable images in the browser to not feel uncomfortable.
And I'm not even joking. Some people could be browsing GAF at work, or with their partner or parents or whatever. Better not risk creating awkward moments for them.

Though I can understand where you're coming from, Milamber pretty much ruined that illusion from here on out.

Thanks for the suggestions!
LoL left me a bad impression of MOBA games. How "ragey" are the players?
The reason why I mention no FPS is because they cause me motion sickness. But I see that it can be played in 3rd person... which changes everything!

That's true, but then he only ruined it for us. None of my coworkers or family members know what Rapelay is (or so I believe), so there was no risk of things getting awkward there.
Surely they're aware of what a sexy beach is, though.
Edit: Apparently the developer of Freedom Fall is based in Western Australia! That's neat.

Stalking the Sexy Beach, looking for Prey
Not at all. Its the only MOBA i can play without getting angry.
- Game is gamepad and mouse and keyboard friendly
- Community is helping and doesn't call you names or rage at you
- Matches last anywhere between 10-25 minutes
- Your skill matters rather than farm in Awesomenauts you can carry your team to victory by yourself if your good enough.
- Game getts lots of free content updates and support from the developers
- Community is healthy and lots of people still play
- Game has a sense of humor
- Last of all the game is fun
Thanks for DS.
Think i might watch Tron Legacy tonight now.
SteamGAF will forever be in Milamber Alert
Pics of nice shore landscapes at sunset, right? What else could it be?Surely they're aware of what a sexy beach is, though.

Always parry slightly early rather than slightly late... better to block than to take damage.
Abuse your dodge evade.
It's a rhythm thing... you just need practice.
That Olivia gif! DAYUM.
Cool, redeemed my key.

So yeah, that Gamefly copy would seem to be the way to go, pricewise. Damn you, HypeGAF, now I'm tempted!
