R&C'16 is pretty fun. I've had a PS4 for a little over a year now and it's the first game I've finished!
(I made a new account as I had -- and have -- no faith in Sony implementing user ID changes in the near future, especially now that it has confirmed 2FA.)

I'm about halfway into this, maybe a bit over, at Roathus Lagoon. Recovered the cores, a single shard, going through the Wild and constantly falling off barges and the like because my sense of direction is about... well, z e r o, clearly. The narration I loved from the start, minute you start in the Rippling Walls, I was for this narrator's voice and slightly jokey way. Soundtrack is nice, diverse. The combat isn't all that bad, I've heard a lot of complaints about it over the years. If anything, the only apparent downside is the lack of multitasking in it - can't defend and attack at once because two-hand shield. The enemies I hate most at this point are the Peckers - pesky little things. And, Hell, game's pretty. I like it.
Encountered an awkward issue where if my caps lock is on, shift for shield doesn't work at all -- why? At one point, The Kid kept committing suicide without my touching any keys because I accidentally rolled onto a tile I probably shouldn't have been on. Even on revival he kept reappearing in that space, was annoying I had to restart the area. Other than that, though, about 2.5 hours in, and I'm enjoying it. Been good for my post-Dark Souls 3 slump.
That many mistakes.

2020, after Sonic Boom.

Playing on 360 since it refuses to pick up any controller on PC. It knows it's there but no inputs work.
Gotta hold hope. I think the only way for us to get VC3 is by getting VC2. Though I wonder if they'd do a double pack. Both for 40 would be fair.

Dood I promised you Dino Crisis when it hits steam.
The first R&C focused more on the platforming elements than the later games did. (I referred to it as "a platformer with guns" at the time.)
The later games put a heavier emphasis on the combat.
For the series as a whole, I think the "action-platformer" label is probably the most appropriate. "Platformer" by itself suggests that the real focus of the game is on precision jumps and timing.
In other news, I nearly installed that GitS:SAC FPS for the free weekend.
Thankfully I saw "Nexon" before I started the install and stopped myself just in time.

Hate is a strong word but then again valid towards trash like prinnies.
Yeah, I tried using my 360 controller and it was giving me trouble, as well. Resigned to kb/m. It's not a terrible experience, but I'd prefer it with the controller. Doesn't bother me enough to move to console.

Don't do it. Evil bears are so much better than useless prinnies.
In Polish, but yes, they really do ask for login information for your bank account:
What if your Paypal isn't linked to your back credit card?
I mean, here in Italy you can link it to Postepay which isn't a credit card, but a debit one.
Also you can buy Paypal credit in local stores etc.

Worked for me with ye olde PS2 controller using x360ce. Maybe try that, see if it recognizes your controller?

Don't beat around the bush, you want Sengoku Rance so you can

I dont actually want Rance (because I finished most translated titles already).
Wish there would be more gameplay VNs on Steam though.
Well, there's always just normal bank transfer - 2-3 working days, but what can you do?

Use bitcoins to buy your games.
Joke aside that is really shitty, can't you use a debit card for main payment?

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.

Last year's summer sale was June 11th. We're a month and a half away from that date.
The momodoras are on my radar and I should probably just pull the trigger, but as the saying goes, "Never put off till tomorrow what you can do day after tomorrow just as well."
I am seconding this. It's been pretty overpriced on Steam though - base price is cheaper on GMG since forever and they've had it for over 50% off THEIR price.
If you're a fan of G1 Transformers and beat-em-ups, it's a must-get though. Laying the smackdown on a Decepticon as Prime and ending your combo by transforming mid-air and ramming them into a building does not get old.

Now on Gamersyde. Glad I waited to watch. It's a 2,1GB behemoth at 45Mbps.

Agreed. Nothing but trash.
When companies go back to linking achievements to unlocking things in their games, I'll start caring about them. I'll jump through hoops to earn a useless-but-cool skin or w/e, but getting a virtual gold star for killing 9000 enemies while performing a handstand doesn't do a lot to motivate me.
(And to clarify, this isn't "people who like achievements are bad". It's, "companies, give me back my unlockables so I have something I actually care about to shoot for in your games".)
EDIT: And yeah, I know the post was in reference to the whole KLEI "Don't Starve" achievements thing, but still.

Keep in mind I was talking about the train section. as I wrote it felt very straight forward, namely in that there weren't any challenhing elements to the jumping and navigation across the train.
Heck I watched a playthrough of it just now @_@

Last page (just a mistake it includes the steam controller bundle for some reason)
DS3 still shows CDN$66.49, no discount, on my end.

yeah, they not gonna drop the base price, I'm now convinced of that, it was too long.
You can wait for KT HB with me, tho
