You can adjust the difficulty somewhere in the main menu. Are you using a controller or a steering wheel? I can't win anything while using my G27 but I dominate on a 360 controller. I don't think it was in a bundle though, there was the codemasters bundle but that was just Dirt2.

AMD was giving Dirt 3 away in September 2011, then somebody realised the site's security was lacking and leaked the ~1.7 million unused keys onto the 'net (which were later revoked).
I totally flipped my table when I started reading the pages I missed...
but not because of the gifs, for once =p
Also, most of these gifs were... innocuous (apart from the Seinfeld one)
Edit: And then I got to the DOA one just as colleague walked by. Damn you, Nito.
Is this really Turfster?

I like TB too... however, I found it immensely painful to watch him play Bastion in that link I posted above since he missed (what I felt was an extremely obvious...) switch to open the cage for the musket. Maybe because he was distracted by recording or something, but I even saw the kb/m controls flash "[E] Switch" and I swear you have to press them earlier in the game.
But usually, if I want to know what an indie game is all about, I go check out his WTF is...
Why did you flip your table?
And never underestimate the power of Gravelord Nito.
So...weird request, but I just ran in to a GFWL problem with activating my Fable III DLC codes.
I bought the Fable III Bundle which includes the following items:
Dog Outfit
Industrial Knight Outfit
Dog Breed Set
Understone Quest Pack
Traitor's Keep Quest Pack
I redeemed them all, but GFWL doesn't register them. I have a support ticket in to MS, but I'm not getting my hopes up.
Does anyone happen to have any spare keys for any of the DLC?
I know it's a long shot, but I'd appreciate it if anyone has something.

Yeah I know, I cranked it up to the max just for fun. I'm using the 360 controller.
But now it's personal, I'm not going to lower the difficulty. :lol
Oh yes, now I remember, a friend who bought and AMD card a few weeks back gave me his code for the never settle thing.
The blatant modbot abuse that was uncoveredWhy did you flip your table?
And never underestimate the power of Gravelord Nito.
Edit: Well, I see he at least gave some back like he said. Still.
I'm closing in on 1k. The temptation to just go hogwild and buy whatever for the remaining games is palpable.
Mini reviews:
Alien Rage is a-ok, if you like oldish skool unreal games, as I do. It is basically that, but with more glowy, ADS, and weapons that aren't as fun. For $5 I think it was worth it. Doubt I'll finish it, but I already had some fun blasting aliens.
Injustice has grown a bit on me. Still not as good as MK9, but it is close. Second best SP fighter by a mile.
Metal Gear Rising feels so sloppy. Like I barely have any control over what is going on. The camera and parry mechanism in particular are abysmal. All in all I vastly prefer the new DMC over this. Still, it has some cool art and I'm glad to see that I can skip over most of the Kojima fan fiction level crap with the 'y' button. Will probably finish unless it gets absurdly hard. I couldn't find a way to lower the difficulty in an in progress game, which made me very sad.
Conclysm is high school level game making at best. Worse than those Dejobaan games. Avoid like the plague.
Gunman Clive for the asking price, this game is a steal. Sweet little Mega Man clone with surprising variety.

Proooobably because of the reason gifs were posted and the conversation that ensued.

While I disagree with everything you say here, I will tell you that (I think) you can change your difficulty by restarting your current chapter via chapter select.
Ah, yes. I kind of glossed over that and figured I'd see how it panned out in later pages.
The link that someone posted earlier in the thread made it seem like it wasn't working. I wouldn't know as I don't have any VR equipment. Honestly I don't like BPM that much anyway, always seemed janky to me. Not that that should prevent other people being interested or anything.
Nice giveaway, now someone will get to appreciate SteamGAF's goty
edit: i don't know why i said a lot of people!

Played some Pool Nation earlier its a great simple pool game with good AI and the ball psychics seem perfect really addictive
Good, thanks. The mid level enemies are easy enough, but the wolf thing destroyed me. Oddly the next boss was easy as pie, so maybe I wont need it?
It's a lot better than it has been, but still is very barren. Community still needs to be integrated.
I'm more interested in hearing about Valve's prototype and how it differs from Oculus'.
I feel the opposite, game gives you a lot of control.
One thing I have noticed is you can get stuck in an animation with a heavy attack (y button) and can't parry. Either use light attack if you are expecting to parry, or dodge (A + X) brings you out of the animation instantly.
Sounds like a great plan. I have many games that I have at almost full priced, which I haven't played yet.

Yeah, I sunk about half an hour into it earlier and enjoyed myself.

Really enjoying GO. Haven't played CS since 2005. Feels good.
Could be a training issue but that is an argument for a poor difficulty curve then.
When I played DMC within moments I felt in absolute control over everything that was going on. The camera was almost always pointing where I wanted it and the attacks I was firing off were exactly what I intended, barring a few moments to learn each new system.
When I play MGR, even after a few hours with it, I'm often off attacking the wall while trying to get Raiden to stop and turn around, the camera is pointing up into the sky, and making parries is just an exercise in frustration. Plus I spend so much time stun locked. The effects get in the way a lot too.
It may change as I learn the game more, but it just feels sloppy to me right now. The action is more keystone cops than anything.
Still it is my favorite Metal Gear game so far, so there is that.
edit: I will say that I love the game's ambition. Some of the boss interactions are wonderfully over the top.
Phew, finally read all the pages I missed.
In other news, Groupees Capsule Computers 3 will start tomorrow.
Lots of repeats.

- ARES
- Bad Bots
- Haegemonia Gold
- Ravensword: Shadowlands
- Return to Mysterious Island
- Rush Bros
- Starpoint Gemini
- Storm over the pacific
Lots of repeats.
I don't know if I'd say 'Bad Bots' was good, but it definitely scratched a very peculiar nostalgia itch for me. It kind of felt like an updated NES game with a serious tone and some low-fi gore added on.

I wonder if they will offer GOG codes for Haegemonia and Return to Mysterious Island. I'd certainly pick up the former at least if they did.

Weird, I had 3 Amazon credits and I feel like I am going to be using them all on Origin games due to the lack of deals on games I don't already own in Steam. I used my first one on Dead Space 3 DLC and looks like the Crysis 3 mark down is coming back on the 20th so I might use my last 2 buying C3 and the DLC.
Is there a list somewhere of games that qualify for the game credit that aren't listed on Amazon's site? I would much rather get some Steam games.

Clearly going to be Nidhogg. The stars have aligned.
Not sure if I'd enjoy getting the game more than seeing the outrage of people who bought it yesterday or not.

Good god, the "music" playing during that video is one of the worst things I've ever heard.
Hope it's not I just bought it yesterday as an impulse buy.
http://www.cheapassgamer.com/topic/...hock-infinite-and-more/page-276#entry11361093
Looking forward it seems the only Steam-related deals are Mars: War Logs, Wargame: Airland Battle and Europa Universalis 4, though the sale runs for another two weeks so there may be hope yet.

Agree. Offensive defense is easy to abuse, for the most part.
But the game requires a high degree of precision and gives you the tools to do so if you learn it.
Examples:
Final boss, S rank, revengeance difficulty -- no cutscenes:

And the chapter 6 boss on revengeance for good measure:

Trying to play Back to the Future with my 360 controller on Windows 8, and it won't launch if it's plugged in...
I'd only really be interested in playing through with a controller, so that sucks.

You can tap blade mode to instantly cancel animation frames. It makes the game amazing. Also, I've been able to parry out of heavy attacks... that's the only thing that's saving my as on Very Hard. I'll check again after work.

Yeah, I saw Mars: War Logs and I think i want to wait for that one to be cheaper. It looks interesting though. Seems like a Red Faction game.
The video you posted here showed that you can also enter Blade Mode (LT) to cancel attack animations. I haven't tried it myself, so I don't know how well it works.

Is that JASF dogfighting game worth the price of free?
This is also true. Sometimes it's useful to do in the VR missions when it's timed and you need to get out of the ninja kill animations quicker to get the gold medals.
