Just port report, probably takes a good chunk of time to get to the meat of those games mechanically.
I don't "review" anything (well, professionally, I sometimes write steam reviews
). I did a technical port evaluation, but that doesn't require me to dive much into the game's systems. I'm just surprised how much they managed to improve it on that front while largely reusing the FF13 engine (and lots of its assets).My bad then. I thought your port report also had you to play around the game ahead of time.I don't "review" anything (well, professionally, I sometimes write steam reviews
I'd double dip, and I haven't even opened my PS3 copy, only played the demo. Though after VC doing well for them, I expect SEGA to be working on porting more games to PC.
No, for FF13-2 S-E didn't provide any pre-release review codes.
Won a game, first in a while.
Already own the game.
oops
Scraped my past purchases, and as far as I can tell, this is all I've got keys for. Sorry I can't do more. I basically have just enough money to survive until the school check on January 16.

Yeah, but that is the way things go I guess...I wish more devs and publishers were a bit more aggressive with the sales. I wonder if this sale will have a dip in profit compared to years past (Valve still made bank off of the Auction though).
Pretty important for those who use Dropbox.
Haven't seen any tech news articles about this.
I hope Dropbox briefs people on this but so far it seems they didn't.

Like I said above, it's a competent rpg. I like it a lot. XIII's bad reputation really hurt it, they are very different games.

Made this for the steam hostage thread linked earlier:
It all makes sense now.

The guy annoyed by auto start applications is great. I'll give him the benefit of the doubt and assume he's just fucking with people.
Though, it probably shouldn't be surprising that using a PC is still a mystery to people even in gaming forums.
Just wait until GAF wants to push you into jewish marriageWhy is this thread showing me this ad?
I'm laughing tbh.

People who talk shit about XIII piss me off. They probably love X, which makes it even more amusing in a way.
That said, from what I hear, FFXIII-2 is excellent... I haven't gotten to it yet, but now that it's on Steam, it's a lot more likely than when I was trying to find the motivation to dust off my PS3 to play it.
Did they ever fix the DLC stuff, if it wasn't changed on how it was accessed?
Make what happen, exactly?
Sale got you down? Tired of not having anything to blow your money on? Sick of these terrible gem oriented auctions, and would rather your funds be backed by government institution? Then dial in and place your bids for a unique phone that only dials one phone number!
this shit is so cool
the kr0 guys are smart, i love them
resonance of fate pc you dumbo
It has a pretty girl on the cover. Is she nice?
I've been enjoying XIII more than X and XII, which apparently makes me some kind of heretic depending on what friend I'm talking to at the moment.

Aw, if I buy the Mass Effect collection, I'm going to have to buy 2's DLC using those dumb Bioware points, wont I?
So I thought AC Unity was meant to be a mess. Granted because I'm a second class Steam citizen I've had to wait a month to get my hands on it but performance is bang on and it looks the muts nuts. I'm sure it's got some quibbles I'll have along the way but at the moment as I've just got into Paris I'm getting in and around the same level of performance as I do in Black Flag but Unity looks a lot better and is doing a whole lot more graphically.
Of course this post will probably jinx things.
Definitely my favourite battle system out of the Lightning trilogy. Took the base of XIII and mixed it up with some great new concepts.

I had this in the back of my mind, but thanks for the reminder. Damn, I'm going to miss that extra space.

Stop making me reconsider not buying ACUnity.
And glad I could get a laugh out of someone for that...
Oh god, I love it!

don't know
i played it for like 20 minutes and was like wtf is this shit this is terrible
but i wanna play it anyways cos you like play barbies with the characters
I am not a furry. Your perception of me keeps getting skewed.
I don't understand. What is terrible and how are you playing barbies? I mean, I always wanted Barbies Dreamhouse party, so...
Let me add you to the black list.

XIII took the linearity to another level, even compared to X. There are similarities in the overall way both games are designed but they're not the same.
Like I just wrote in the XIII-2 OT, XIII is literally just a narrow corridor with nothing in it but monsters. This isn't true at all for X. There are towns with hundreds of npcs you can interact with which makes the world feel alive, puzzle dungeons, mini-games and sidequests/post-game content that go way, way beyond talking to a friggin' rock just to go kill a monster.
Say what you will about the quality of each individual element, but X offers a degree of variety and exploration that even if not outstanding is far beyond anything XIII can offer and more importantly, it manages to make the world you're travelling through actually feel alive.
In XIII, when faced with the difficulty of creating large, explorable areas with a certain degree of complexity (like towns) while maintaining the visual standard people expected in the HD era, they just said "fuck it, just confine the player to a corridor and use all these assets for window dressing."
They streamlined it just to get the damn thing done, not much can go wrong when nothing is left in the hands of the player.

Happy Sales and probably free days to you too!
Playing Advent Rising right now. Best Not-Matrix game Ive played so far but it has its issues.
The Good: Lots of different weapons and powers, tons of action
The Bad: Flick targeting System, Steep Learning Curve for the controls. Power are way OP
The Ugly: You cant hotkey powers. A menu opens up and you select it.

I know! I was hoping for a higher quality version to make GIFs from.
also that phone thing is hilarious
"ideal for conversation, alone or with a partner"
i dunno it has like a super epic disney cg cutscene of a guy and a girl falling through the skies and then you go do chores and like have 27 different neverending tutorials so i just skipped them and got massacred and was like ok no more for me
i can understand it being my fault ofr not watching the tutorials but there were just so many of them and so slowwwwwwwww
like fuck
but then i found a shop you can buy clothes and play dressup with the characters so i bought a new jacket for hot blonde guy and everything was fixed
but never played it again cos the menus all blinked psychotically on my sdtv
hey now i said i wanted it anyways
did you nto read the barbies part

I don't agree with this at all.
There's more variety and exploration on Gran Pulse than there is in the entirety of FFX.
I'm at 48 games completed this year - an even four per month. I'm hoping to complete four more games in the next 11 days and bring that average to one per week!
Really enjoying J.U.L.I.A. Among the Stars. I backed it on IndieGoGo, and the game is really well done. Great visuals and a good mix of gameplay elements. It's not too challenging, but the puzzles are well integrated with the exploration aspects of the game.
Hoping to also play Knock-Knock and The Bridge before the new year. I'll find something else to fill the coveted 52nd spot.

Also at the point where the game "opens up" you have already done enough hours of tube corridor gameplay.
EDIT: Fawk forgot to edit this into the other post.
The game is fun even without the dress up. Customizing the guns are great.
well i already said i wanted it anyways
what do you want from me -___-
also what are the three choices in the community votes? i only see cities and panzer corps
No bulletstorm for you.
