RE6 is so much better than TEW. All that Melee 👌
The melee in TEW is better though...
group up a bunch of people, melee to knock down, burn them w/ a match like a boss who gives no fucks
Sebastian >>>
You are both fighting over deeply flawed games. RE6 had an amazing combat system in a disastrous and messy campaign with awful set pieces (kill wall chases, vehicles, repeated sequences across characters). TEW started really great with you having to think and move stealthily between enemies and having to manage resources carefully. It's a really scary game in the beginning with a creepy atmosphere then it switches genre and becomes kill waves of enemy and the bullet sponges bosses while baby sitting dumb AI characters. You can dump all the green goo in the crossbow with the explosive bolts or ice bolts then you start to really kick ass.
Every time I try to start up TEW I quit after 30 minutes of starting.
I don't know why I can't bring myself to actually play through the game.
RE6 had bad combat in the context of the campaign. Ammo was so plentiful that trying to show off in front of your AI partner usually led do you being shot from off-screen and knocked onto your back for no real gain. Like, why? And those enemy designs... reminds me of Silent Hill Downpour and its out of place Disney-rejects. The crossbar inventory was a shitshow (first aid sprays lumped with grenades, no way to hotkey weapons or store unused ones to free up space). And the skill system was bleh compared to the individual weapon upgrade system of the previous two RE's.
TEW is alright in the last third... on subsequent playthroughs. You can game the key lockers to get some very useful upgrades early on. Knowledge is power, all that. Fire harpoons, stamina to level 4 at least, the rest in making the shotgun a viable bosskiller. Melee is ass even with the brass knuckles, switching to another weapon unequips them. Not hotkeyable either I think.
AI Joe isn't so bad cause you can use him to fuck shit up. On Nightmare he is a massive liability though, and probably makes that one section of the game among the hardest.
is forever an annoyance (even with the fire harpoons) and the
The rest are no biggie.
EDIT: Shadows isn't beating anyone, regardless of what the talking skull tells you. Fuck those 2D side-scrolling sections and big boner bullshit. Un-fun filler.

Chapter 10 boss is effectively the true boss of the game and fuck all I still don't know how I beat it after all these playthroughs.

I need to play the TEW dlc. Started it up a while ago and it was pretty scary. Games with body horror and oozy environments creep me out. Alien Isolation came out around the same week as TEW and it was so sterile that it didn't feel scary at all except for
TEW has an interesting storyline, I definitely want to see Kidman's story.
Edit: wait, is that Sherry adult in her child school costume real and not a mod? That is a bit much Capmcom.

This is me with RE Remake. Which is funny considering that I consider TEW more of a successor to it than RE4. The two games are like Back to the Future fractured timeline parallels.
I have no idea what that is. Should I be interested?

Carmen Sandiego is now owned by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, the publishing company.
Here's what they did to it.
They also own Oregon Trail, by the way.

This man speaks the truth! RE6 is one of the few games that literally made me want to shoot myself from boredom.
So I was playing Hitman and I kept running across these scooters and if you had a wrench it said you could make an oil leak. And I had no idea why you would want an oil leak or what that would do. So I just made oil leaks on 3 or 4 scooters I came across. A few minutes later I got a "non-target kill" and "body found" messages and I had no idea what was going on. And it kept happening every once in a while. Then I came upon a coroner putting a body in a body bag - it turned out random people were getting on the scooters and immediately crashing and dying.
So let that be a lesson, make sure your scooter doesn't have an oil leak.

Yes, I'm ~70 hours into God Eater 2.
Still having lots of fun, though their was a timeframe where it didn't click completely. Got fixed by changing my weapon and gun type. (Wasn't feeling the Buster Sword that much even though it was my main weapon in Resurrection, so I'm primarily Scythe right now, and apparently I just can't use any other gun than a sniper if I want to have fun)
But yeah, after playing it that much it's safe to se say that if you're expecting MH, you'll likely be disappointed, it's very much its own thing.

Ill see if my steam key is up @ hb.
Just tested the game.
It's a DotEmu game first off. They did offer resolutions above 1920x1080. BUT... BUT.... The game is running at 56~57 FPS on my Titan XP.
I turned off GSYNC to make sure it wasn't causing any issues. But the game is running at a jacked up frame rate and it's also causing the sound to be slightly off sync.
It's basically unplayable for me right now.
I don't know if that will happen. Aside from the 56FPS and sound issue the game has a decent presentation along with online capabilities. I think that's something the Humble Bundle release did not have.
That's pretty funny since I can play through the RE Remake just fine but going back to Resident Evil 4 is a chore for me. No clue as to why.
Yeah... it's running at 56~57 no matter what I do. I restarted my rig to make sure the GSync wasn't in effect anymore and the issue is still there. I haven't tried online since the frame drops just hurts my eyes.
It is only 9 bucks. I'll give them 13 days to fix the game before asking for a refund.

Holy shit, didn't know Garou was coming to Steam! I really hope they can fix the frame rate issues because I'd love to dive into this.

Eh, it's not the pinnacle of the RE series but it's really not as bad as people make it out to be.
Edit: The Evil Within and Shadows of the Damned are better though. Really wish SotD would get a Steam release down the road.

My thoughts exactly
Spelunker on Steam yes please! (Probably not because Tozai has the license I believe and I'd rather have them port over Spelunker HD anyway).

Honestly, not really. All Steam reviews point towards it being geared towards kids. I'd say yes if it had trading cards, but it doesn't have... anything, really. Maybe if you have a young child?

Whats wrong with getting games/edutainment software aimed at kids?

Can Humble even sell a game that cheap?

Nothing, just don't see any point unless you're actually going to use it.
Every +1 is worth at least a cent.

Wow. This is a first.
It's not the Humble Store.

I couldn't check out with CC (20 cent minimum) or Amazon (6 cent minimum), but Paypal seemed to go through.
