If you're having trouble with bosses, yes. If not, no.
There's no such thing as too much.
Not that I'm in the position to say "Money is no object!", but rather I'm not against spending hundreds if I absolutely have to. Spin imported FM 2013 Asia for me from P-A, incidentally, and it's the only one with an Asian-specific app. The Korean flavours are the only other instalments I need now -- Nzyme32 may have a friend who can help me out with 2009, but beyond that I'm still shit out of luck. I'll import 2010-2014 if necessary, but in doing so I'd be paying almost twice the price, which is why I went as far as making a thread calling for help (annoyingly, I'd be in the clear if a certain GAFer didn't change his mind, and without telling me at that, but there's no use in crying over spilled milk).USD$46. PayPal doesn't support gift payments to India yet, so I had to throw a bit on top to cover the transaction fee. At the time the P-A store page said there was just one copy left in stock, but as we later learned this figure doesn't refer to P-A's secondary warehouses, however I'm not bothered -- better safe than sorry and all that.

Is just a widescreen fix enough for Deus Ex? I remember thinking the game felt really slow the last couple times I tried to play, and was not sure if it was meant to be like that.
Just fired it up, 2 hour download, so yeah, 1 CET and I'm in^^
lol ya, me neither. Sounds really smart with those fairy chests though, why haven't I thought of that? I'm not exactly through with the game though, I kinda like to restart it all over from level 1 from time to time.
That's way too much fun for me to handle. I'll stick with 50-60% fun, thank you very much.
I don't have game, sorry.

The Kentie Deus Exe launcher soothes any modern machine aches that Deus Ex comes across.

Playing SSFIV with a keyboard is something else.
Please don't. Insanity is just around the corner!

Is it any good? I liked the first one but haven't seen the "new" one yet.
Now try it with a DDR mat.

Never played that map. I think I'm gonna join if there's still place for another player.
I play all fighting games with keyboard, it's the best way to play, when you remap them
come at me!
so, no 100% fun today either? I blame idlem@ster
someone understands what's up!

I don't really play fighting games, I play with them

What's this 100% fun thing?
edit: ahhh right. I need to wait for that incoming bundle for that ^_^

Dito, I think the 2nd one got a lot of negative flak sadly. My brother didn't like it either.

Awesome. Hopefully Liberty Island doesn't have me cancel a play through like it always does.

It's not fundamentally different than using a Hitbox.
Haha, after enough playthroughs it's kind of become one of my favourite spots. I guess it fills me with that comforting feeling of being at home on starting a new run.
There's no such thing as too much.
Yeah I've just had a look in the DB, there's more blooming versions that I thought! You'll go to the Ball one day
Their names escape me but there were a couple of peeps who used to do keyboard only DMC4 combo challenges that used to post vids on YouTube. What's quite scary is that they are waaaaaay better than I am using a controller. It's doable as there no need for analog input and I doubt you'd go over a 4 key roll over limit of most keyboards unless you're going crazy.
They've gotten swankier. Most Hitboxes I've seen have been custom made out of switches and any old wood kicking around someone's house. I guess they're starting to catch on now.

Have you tried forcing vsync in your video card's control software?
Try forcing it in drivers, it's unreal engine so sjould work there.

Just give it time. Jlai uses keyboard (Makoto / gaffer) and he is really good.

I know that feel. Like Mumbo's Mountain in Banjo Kazooie or Seyda Neen in Morrowind.
The farthest I've ever gotten is that bar after the subway, but this week is the start of me playing through games I had given up on no matter how awful. E.Y.E is done, so I'm hoping Deus Ex turns out to be as great as advertised, because I need a good game after the 3 flops I just finished.
Out of curiosity what exactly is the control layout on Keyboard?

you don't use your hori?
Need dat bundle to reach 100% first
I've been wanting to try a set-up like that, but I'm not too sure how to "layout" on a keyboard like that. :/ For $200+ for a PS360 compt. hitbox, that's too rich for my blood.
I haven't used it much tbh as I haven't really played much since I got it.
I should start using it though.

I may not be the biggest fan of Deus Ex, but that main menu theme is still rockin'.

I was messing around with Evil Ryu when I had used the Keyboard. The hitbox was what I was trying to remember since I know that is similar. The chance of getting pretty good seems to be there since the inputs were faster but that's one hell of a curve to deal with.
Seems even more steep than Controller to Arcade Stick.

By the way, there were some errors processing your keys...
Note: The key you added for Deus Ex HR Director's Cut was already listed in ModBot from a previous giveaway of yours, but was not taken. Updating key info to match new giveaway.
Yes it is.
Oh and I love Deus Ex.
Right, for some reason I saw someone mention The Last Remnant and I may actually try to play a bit of it. I've been meaning to for ages yet seem to get distracted by er...everything. I'll report back if I make significant progress.

yoooo this made me feel nostalgic. I just played Ys 1 last year too. Ys 2 has something like this as well.
I did this yesterday. For like 20 minutes before I realized my stupidity. Maybe I'll just wait until I get a controller.

edit: damn it, I didn't mean to double post. Sorry.
The game definitely got better as more things unlocked. I've only tried 4 characters, so I can't comment too much on diversity, but I did think their variety was neat... But the most important thing is crowd control, and some classes just don't cut it, like commando. You also basically can't finish a run without healing items, especially as a melee character like Acrid. The problem with items is that once you get too overpowered, the game is just a slog. Like I had so many healing items that I healed faster than the enemies damaged, so I just stood there and mashed my basic combo. Also one time I had 8 or 9 drones, so I sat there and let them take care of things.
I got all the in-game achievements, but I probably wouldn't have gone for some of them if they didn't have steam achievements attached to them (like the whorl drowning one). I didn't unlock all the characters or their specific achievements though... You had to use a mouse even though you had a controller? What. That's really dumb. I played keyboard + trackpad so I didn't know how much of a shitshow the controller side was.
Yeah the spawn rate is an exercise in frustration, especially when you're on higher difficulties and like 3 or 4 bosses spawn within a minute. And I absolutely hate that there was no quit and resume option, too. I closed the lid of my laptop to let my computer sleep while I was having a good run, come back an hour later, and see the whole program shut down inexplicably. Seriously the worst.
