Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing maybe?
2 corking purchases right there.
Sleeping Dogs with Dolby Headphone is on another level. Directional audio with pork bun sellers!
I got impatient
I don't blame you. Such a great game.
In setting or gameplay? Krater is a game in the style of Torchlight set in a post apocalyptic world.

Ornstein and Smough. Ack, it's giving me gaming PTSD just thinking about it. It was like an hour long battle of kiting attrition to finally beat them.
Capra and S & O were my roadblocks as well.... are. I stopped after dying with just one-hit needed on the skinny one, said screw it.
Damn.
I just realized I've been compressing all of my Steam images via photoshop. It only effects my Brothers a Tale of Two Sons downsamples. When I would look at them, I knew there had been some artifacting and I was wondering why.

GAF, these are the four games that are on sale in my wishlist. Which should I get? All of them? None? Sell them to me!
They are in my wishlist because: I greatly enjoyed Super Meat Boy, I love pixel art, I played Syberia 1&2 when they first came out and never touched them since.
If you liked SMB, ESJ will be up your alley. I had fun with it for the first world and ditched it soon after much like SMB personally. Great soundtrack.. it was in a bundle which came with the OST and other games. And at $1.59 it's a good deal.
KOP&P+1 is another good game with lots of content.. I had it on the wishlist as well but didn't buy it because of the premium PC price.. it's on sale for $2.49 which is more in line with what it should be. As far as the microtransactions, who cares? It's a crutch for players who need it but isn't needed. Doesn't bother me personally, but then again, I don't have a problem with Early Access games, "art/experience" games, etc either.
Never played Syberia, so I can't help there. At $2.49 each, I'd pass, but as a fan, it's a good price considering it's $10 normally.
All of the games are cheap enough, so I'd say get them all.. all are bound to be in a bundle eventually.
Thanks for Leviathan: Warship.
Actions are your friend. If you're just taking a downsampled image and resizing it for 1920x1080/1200 setup an action so not only does it do the task in a matter of seconds but you always repeat the necessary steps. Bicubic all the way.
I just finished Thomas was Alone.
And well... let's say the ending kinda ruined it for me, not PoP '08 levels but still. Don't get me wrong, I liked the game, the story is good for just being a bunch of geometrical forms, the gameplay advancements, showing you what can you do with each character, music and voiceover are great, Danny knocks it out of the park. I liked
However, I liked the game and I would recommend it.
Up and to the right
PS: I laughed when I saw that one achievement for picking a trinket was "Needs more hats"

I liked
the shifters mechanic and how Thomas and his friends sacrified themselves to create them, and I would have taken that as an ending, plus the level telling what happened, of course, but the final chapter (which confused me, because I thought there was 10 chapters) decieved me a bit. What's supposedly Grey's objective, making that the pixel cloud ate them all? And then the final level, with the leap, and then, a few screens turn on (I guess their energy made it, I guess), and that's it, credits roll. I expected something more, I don't know. Maybe it was my thought that there was an extra chapter left me confused.

I'll make sure to look into it.
Thanks for Issac
I hope you guys have as much fun with these game as I had. Dredmor and Isaac are an absolute blast

It's worth it just to see all the new gifs everyone is making.
Does anyone have a link to the post with the material that spawned this?
I think I'm a bit of a sadist; I liked Smough and Ornstein.
By this are you asking for games that are action heavy and plot heavy? The Divinity series might be to your liking. Particularly Divine Divinity, which when released had a decent amount of Diablo plus Baldur's Gate comparisons, which sounds like a precursor to what you're asking.
It, and many more, are coming out the Tomb Raider Definitive Edition thread.

I think he wants Torchlight/Diablo type ARPG but with a sci-fi twist a la Fallout/ME universes.

Sorry, I meant the one where someone posted that MS invented DirectX. Thanks all the same; I haven't seen any of the other gifs so it should be good to browse.
Soo umm Boarderlands? There's also Space Siege, but it's godawful.
Sacred 2 maybe? Not a perfect match setting-wise but it does have some sci-fi elements.
Holy shit this looks good

The only game I can think of that matches this criteria, and isn't total shit like Space Siege, is Krater.
http://store.steampowered.com/app/42170/
There's a demo if you want to check it out.
120fps and 3840x2160 or no dice.
which is a silly thing to say as I've bought it anyway but you can bet you're bottom dollar I'm going to ring every last drop out of my system on this. That car shot looks corking at 1440p.

How does that compare with the old version? Did it have decent options?

I meant more in setting but I'd take the decision stuff too. This Krater looks like it could be good. DLing the demo now.
Oh you guys whining for the Capra Demon just crack me up.
I went there, opened the door, suddenly everything started going at 5 fps, I started mashing those buttons and suddenly I won. Just after that I realized I had just beaten a boss and two dogs.
Totally the easiest boss ever. Also, I'm so better than you!

Someone else would have to answer that as I don't have any experience with the first release, but I would imagine it was pretty bare bones.

Yes it does.
I'm stoked it's coming -- I just want to see if GMG or someone has a deal closer to release.
Mak, take a look at this, maybe?
Borderlands is more of a sci-fi fps with rpg/loot elements. Definitely doesn't have the diablo/torchlight core combat/gameplay. At least, that's what I'd guess Mak would say. Knowing him, he wants something that plays like torchlight in terms of gameplay but has a sci-fi setting instead of fantasy.
Scarlet.Crush DS3 SCP server.
HAHAHA.
After not playing for ages, I went back and was able to kill it via the simple online-rec'd strategy of "run up stairs, fall on him a few times". I think I just didn't have the mindset back then.
Well prior to the european patch 1680x1050 was the highest res it would go without painful workarounds. Other options are windowed or fullscreen and widescreen or 4:3. Yep that's all you could select. Injectors worked to a certain extent but there were next to no options for it.

How did the Tomb Raider topic already reach 42 pages? (on 100 messages/page view)
corrosivefrost
Member
Yeah, I think that's something along the lines of what I did back when I played it -- though I was more interested in distracting the Capra demon until i could kill the dogs... once the dogs were dead, it wasn't so bad.
I googled this but couldn't find any info..but I found Better DS3 tool here http://betterds3.ciebiera.net/
Any ideas?

Because console warriors?
idk, I read part of the first page and I never went back.
PC Gamers Assemble!
Let's come together as a community and show Sega that the demand for Bayo, Vanquish, VF5, Valkyria Chronicles, and more is there.

Retweet to spread the word
Got a couple Reddit threads up and I would appreciate taking the time to check them out and join in on the discussion.
Usually have some backlash on Reddit from console warriors for whatever reason. I did include a section for, 'I'm console-only, why should I care?'

Signed! Grief, have you contacted RPS about this yet? Dark Souls on PC hit a lot of momentum when it RPS blogged about it. It also makes it more likely that other sites pick up the story too.

We are now reaching the end of another steam thread.
And as we've established it's slim pickens on that front. On the other side you have Alien Swarm and Shadowgrounds if that helps any.
Just a heads up:
I used to use MotionInJoy (required for Better DS3, IIRC) before discovering SCP. When I did, I uninstalled completely MIJ, even deleting stuff from the registry.
Then I installed SCP and it works fine most of the time, but every now and then it just doesn't recognize the DS3 (
Sixaxis because I'm a dumb early adopter
Bottom line: never MotionInJoy/Better DS3, not even once.

Yes.
I didn't have it bookmarked on this laptop, but I googled it:
http://forums.pcsx2.net/Thread-XInput-Wrapper-for-DS3-and-Play-com-USB-Dual-DS2-Controller
I use both my DS3 and DS4 wirelessly via bluetooth now.
Well, Wilflare might get a shot at that Thief pack he missed...
No. Use Xinput wrapper.
PM me how to get in touch with them. The petition has about 2000 signatures but could use a bump.
Some overzealous reddit mod just deleted all my threads too. They were on the top page of every subreddit I posted it too.
Mass censoring things like that is not a valid way to run a site.
So with Tomb Raider getting a "definitive edition" on consoles, is there going to be a new or updated PC version to hold out for?
