Daaamn. I was quiet hyped about MGR, but I dunno anymore. Not that into Metal gear series anyway.
Did all of the Bayonettas achviements on xbox, so hard might be optimal for me.

Lucasarts - before Disney - was anti-DRM free, and now, under Disney, nobody knows, but the focus is not on the exploitation of old licenses.
Congratulations Bornlivedie for Banner Saga.
From what I have heard MGR and Bayo would have a far higher learning curve than DMC. That may be why you enjoy that game better from a quick perspective.
When it finally clicks for you MGR is so good.
Yes it will be.
MGR's camera can be controlled with the lock on button, but it is notoriously the worst part of the design. Metal Gear story doesn't get in the way and is not required to enjoy the game.

I'm not only talking about the gameplay. The setting, graphics, humor and story is better in DmC in my eyes. Bayo is just cray
Did anybody else here opt for the $30 tier or above? I'm curious as to whether you get a key for the Soundtrack Edition on Steam or just a key for the base game and a direct download of the OST. If it's the latter I'm going to ask DF to bin the key I was given and replace it with one that activates the SE. Also, where exactly do I find the Humble Bundle link? It wasn't e-mailed to me.

I don't know if its a gold mine for them or not (probably not if its not the focus) but I would buy Maniac Mansion, Zak Mckraken, X-Wing series, etc. etc. etc. if they would just put them out there in a playable format.
:O Holy shit, I won the raffle. Thank you so much Hawkie.

Dunno about Broken Age specifically, but some other KS stuff I backed had humble bundle entries stealth-added to my profile page unceremoniously, so check there.

I think DmC is the... least good out of these. It's the only game I'd call merely decent.
Ranking DMC3, DMC4 and Bayo is kinda hard, really depends on the criteria you're looking at. I still think DMC4 has the best combat engine of the bunch but DMC3 and Bayo excel in other areas.
Learn a deep fighting system in a game in order to enjoy it at all?

Seriously. Unless it in one of my preferred genres I'm not going to waste hours of frustration to uncover the good in a game unless it is readily apparent that it will be sublime when I do. In the case of MG:R, it really isn't. Thankfully it is 'ok' right now and the art is good so that is keeping me going for the moment being.
I have a metric ton of games and very little free time.
DmC had me at 'go' and kept me into it all the way through. Expertly crafted in that regard.

Ok I can somewhat understand liking DmC better than Bayonetta as much as it surprises me, but to say DmC actually had better humor is what I'm really not understanding. DmC barely had any and when it did it was sooooo baddd http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Qg6dTgRHB0 but different stroke for different folks.
Bayo does everything better than 4 combat. What DMC4 has over Bayonetta its performance. Bayo has framerate dips and nasty screen tearing. DMC3 its better constructed in terms of environments and variety of bosses etc. DMC4 if it didnt had the horrible backtracking and Dante destroying everything on the second half looked unbalalanced. But all those 3 are on a league on their own.

I think it's from one of the episodes of The Flog on geek and sundry.
I need to go back and play DMC3/4 now with the skills I gained from MGR.
Hopefully Sega will wake up and tap Platinum for Bayo PC port.
Yeah, only Grim Dawn is listed.
yeah this is pretty much my opinion too (except for DmC since I haven't played)
well just maybe wait for a bit? maybe while you're waiting beth will greenlight quake wars
Did you click on the plus at the top of the page in the top right corner of the "claim past purchases" box? That's where mine was hidden, didn't show until I did that.
Bayonetta's learning curve isn't that high, it's the most accessible game in the action genre because you don't actually need to dig deep to know how pull off crazy combos, which is a good thing for me, and I enjoy it a lot, I find it actually easier to play than DmC with dodge offset, since every single attacks were also cancellable with dodge.
Bayonetta do have a high quantity of stuff in the game like accessories but what they offer aren't really as deep and refined as something like DMC3/DMC4 Dante's style system, bayonetta's weapons also play a bit too similar with similar combo strings and its parrying system from Moon of Mahaa-Kalaa isn't as deep and rewarding as something like DMC3's Royal Guard, so it feels like to me some of the elements are just kind of there but they are definitely fun to use.
I'm really not a big dmc fan though.
For action games, I like God Hand, Bayonetta the most because they are designed to be pretty straight forward "dodge and hit" games, while god hand is simpler, I like its approach. DmC is really fun and I thought it can be up there with the other action games if it didn't have those crappy bosses.
Someone have them

Thanks, The Banner Saga and Broken Age on the same day.
Which brings the question, do all backers have BA already registered to their humble accounts? Because it's not showing in mine.
Is the e-mail you used when you backed the same one of your HB account? Mine was different and doing this got it to work for me:

Outrun's not in your Steam list Jase?
That would require Steam users to actually give a fuck about an Outrun game and not wait for it to go on sale 6 months later at 75% =V
The tutorial for RA3 is so goofy. I couldn't help but laugh at the horrible infighting from the factions.
I'm still waiting on a response. Maybe the idea of bringing back Wolf09 and Quake Wars is actually being entertained.
That was it! Cheers. It doesn't seem as though the key will activate the Soundtrack Edition so I'll fire off an e-mail to DF.

Yeah, it's kinda the point of the genre. I don't think MGR is that hard to get into at all. It isn't really combo heavy and the parries aren't that hard to pull off at lower difficulties. You need to "learn" more in DmC imo.
Well, it does it different. I think Dante's moveset in DMC4 is untouched at high levels. Bayonetta is more inviting in this regard but DMC4 solves that problem with Nero and his Exceed system. But yeah, in terms of leveldesign, it's really lazy.

Mmmm
Just to clarify, they do email you a humble bundle link that you then tie to your humble account if you want, you shouldn't have to worry about logging into any existing accounts.
Nah, it was gone well before I began collecting.
I think another few years with the occasional sale would generate a sizeable amount of revenue, particularly given it's been gone for a long time and and has become a rare collector's item. Don't forget that Saw sold like hotcakes during the Halloween Sale (Konami still hasn't restocked the US sub).
yea I like the dmc3 style thing the best of all character action game systems

No prob! I didn't see your post when I replied to Jase or I'd have quoted it too. I'm glad that it seems to be working for most people, I was worried at first that the e-mails were different because I didn't want to redeem the game in a different HB account.Thanks Fuu, this did the trick for me.

The entire battle with the final boss.
Not including the Metal Gear fight before it, but everything after that grade.
I'm inclined to disagree. I cannot complete MGR:R on hard by simply spamming x.
95% of my combos during my initial foray into hard on Bayonetta was the 5x X combo. Dodge for witch time, repeat. Platinum made MGR:R a better game.
IMO, you can't play better if you're plagued with slowdown and framerate issues. And since there is no version of Bayonetta that runs at a constant framerate without slowdown (sure, the x360 is the better of the two, but it's still got a ton of technical problems), it's impossible for it to "play better". Sure, you might think it has better mechanics with witch time versus parrying or whatever, but unless it's ported to a platform that can handle it (there was a movement to get it on Wii U, but I'd still rather see it on PC), I will continually disagree with you.
No sir.
DmC isn't even the same genre. That game should be compared to the Dynasty Warrior and Warrior Orochi games.
Furthermore, if we're talking just Platinum and Capcom action, I'd flip your list entirely around.
MGR:R > DMC4 >= DMC3 > Bayonetta
Maybe that changes if Bayonetta gets a port that doesn't suck. Maybe it doesn't.

Now for something entirely more important to me at this juncture:
I'm having a sound problem, currently -- I don't know what could be causing it... the audio in my Steam games is skipping, sort of. Like this fuzzy bad connection type sound -- but I'm using the on-board audio (which seemed fine to me up til now) via the HDMI connection to my TV. I've checked my PS3 for comparison (Spelunky on both) and the PS3 version has clean audio.
This seems relatively recent. Could it be because I have a game downloading to the HDD Steam is installed on so the processing and such might be making the audio of games being played do this? I don't think any drivers changed recently and the last one was an update to some NVidia software... I suppose I could try pausing the download and seeing if it clears up, but in case that doesn't work, does anyone else have any idea why my PC would start having cracking/fuzz over the game audio?
Maybe for you.
I think that's a personal thing, cause I find the flow just fine... recognize the attack, know when to parry, even if I'm a little early, I still block, wait for opening, cause damage, deal with reinforcement group a by parry/counter, repeat, deal with reinforcement group b by blocking charge then zandatsu, repeat until QTE prompt appears.
As I feel DmC plays more like a Musou game (as stated above), this would be why it's easier to pick up and "have fun with".
Side question: Have you played the Souls games (Demon's Souls, Dark Souls)? If so, do you find them enjoyable or no?
