I am a bit offended by how germans are exploited for slightly dangerous versions of zombies. How about sowjet zombies or american patriot zombies or girl scout zombies? What makes nazi zombies so much more terrifying than any other zombies? Are they attacking the jewish zombies?

You missed my point. There isn't much difference between the danger of a girl scout zombie and a nazi zombie. They're zombies, their previous occupation isn't really the issue.

In Zombie Army Trilogy, I should mention it doesn't take itself too seriously. The plotline is Hitler had a "Plan Z" and resulted to satanism and killed himself to perform a ritual to create an unstopable zombie army, really just an excuse to have nazi and demonic memorial all over the game. And the game has more than zombies, one of the first enemies you meet after zombies for example are these Ray Harryhausen-esque skeleton enemies.

It knows it cheesy and overdone and stylizes it with 80s-synth music, over-the-top gore and kill shots (from Sniper Elite, but it works well here and can be disabled if you dislike it), and other stuff. The Remastered Edition seems like it'll include actual demon enemies, in the first game you fight the literal ghosts of Nazi Overlords, etc.

One thing I liked a lot about the first game was just how many zombies the game could handle, but yet make it challenging as zombies will resurrect with demonic circles until you either destroy the head or damage and dismember the body enough so it won't come back to life, which does good with the sniper theme of the game for head-shots, and adds into this super addictive 'fight your friends for the highest scoring shots and overall highest score' scenario.

The game could of theoretically featured any sort of zombie, but they chose nazi as it is overused and used its setting to the fullest for grindhouse fun, going with weapons from the era and going by the logic, "Nazis are evil so you don't have to care if you kill all of them brutally,' sequence, but does it in a charming way I found it very enjoyable, and was a good mix of satisfying gunplay and challenging scenarios.

There are sowjets in WWII.
I mean, you could even use the winter war as scenario with Simo Häyhä as protagonist.

Sniper Elite dlc starring Simo Häyhä. I'd buy that.

Hmm RE5 just got an update pushed out for me, 101.5 MB patch.

It has Steam achievements and a DLC tab now as well.

The problem with the Tales series to me is that it got stale. It didnt evolve since Symphonia and still plays the same.

I kinda wish they would also offer a more mature storyline and not just some Shounen-y Animestory.

 

[Momentary]

OK, seriously WHERE ARE ALL THESE GODDAMN MOSQUITOES COMING FORM?!
I've swatted maybe 5 in the just last few hours, holy crap.

Also SNK's beta for KoF 02 UM is rather lame; I gotta refund my game then buy it again and thru some method be able to enter the beta? Why not just give it to everyone who pre-ordered, I pre-ordered this game on the 31st...

Damn. I'm not even going to try.

"A new patch is rolling out for Assassin’s Creed Unity, today on Xbox One and PlayStation 4 and tomorrow on PC.

Content exclusive to Initiates and the companion app will be made available to all players. While you can still use the companion app, it won’t be required to unlock chests in the main game."

 

[Chariot]

In Zombie Army Trilogy, I should mention it doesn't take itself too seriously.

The good thing: I'm only half serious.
The bad: I'm half serious.
Nazi zombies outlived their novelty in my eyes. There isn't much you can do with the concept since they're still zombies. It was funny a few times and I really had to laugh at what Dead Snow did, but it's not kicking anymore. I think a change of Zombietype would be good. And it would be super funny if you actually put multiple zlmbie types intk the game. Not like boomer and so on, but Nazi zombies and sowjet zombies and have them actuslly biased.

I knew it wasn't going to be the update as it was way too small to be adding the content, but I am guessing it's a pre-patch to try and preserve save files, I hope the bigger patch comes in just a little bit.

After doing some reading up, I'd love if Zwei 1 and 2 were released on Steam, hope they're among XSEED's planned releases for the year or even for next year =X

Come on Atlus, make your move

Steam is a great platform for brutal RPGs, and we'd finally get a collectathon game for JaseC to play that'll bring back his sealed memories of the horrors of Australia!

Versus achievements isn't a good thing.
Is there a list? That shit will take HOURS just to boost for one person. More so for team since you need two players on each team.

Fuck yeah! It was already essentially confirmed but that pretty much seals the deal. I wonder if we'll have to pay or if it'll be a free upgrade. Either way, I'm stoked to finally play the DLC episodes. Now give us a date, Capcom!

Pre-order on a Chinese site for the whole Resident Evil 5 Gold Edition deal for PC- Steam, includes two things of interest.

01.) Screenshots:

B.) Confirms all the Gold Edition content, in case any doubts. That also includes the two costumes previously not in the PC version and and the new trophies. Also, not available to buy the DLC separately at least from there yet, only together. Curious how Capcom is going to handle the DLC deal for Steam.

Are you equating Nazis to American patriots and Girl Scouts?

Girl scouts are worse and their uniforms are abhorrent, fashionably speaking.

That's like 30 bucks in Hong Kong.
Though the base price is 20 on regular RE5 so 10 for the DLC for all added I guess would make sense. Considering it's always on sale anyway. Still will probably be cheaper. Betting on the game becoming RE5 Gold for all but you have to "upgrade" to get the content like with SF4AE turning into SF4U in the list.

Nice. Was odd playing Rev on consoles after 3DS with no laser. That's like the series staple in the action games that needs to stay. Even if it's a secondary option.

Turf hates RE5 though. He has bad taste.

If the info on that page is accurate, Google translate tells me it's coming in April!

Kinda glad it's still a little ways off. Gives me plenty of time to do that RE4 professional run I was hoping to get done before the Steamworks transition. I mean, I could do it now but I'm almost done with FFXIII and I'd like to get XIII-2 done as well before LR comes out.

Completed Gemini Rue - what a great story. I was able to do the whole thing with only looking up one minor hint about halfway through, so I at least feel like I beat it on my own.
