Yes it is, especially on Dolphin. It really shines that way. Playing the wii version on an HDTV is an eyesore.

I bought VIII for my phone but the lack of music and voice acting made me spring for a refund. My memories are of the US version.
Yeesh, those are big parts of the original's charm.
The devs tasked with porting it keep getting stuck in random battles every two steps taken towards their desks so they still haven't been able to begin the porting process.
Considering you can get free games for all platform by logging-in from PC, yes.

Depends on your tastes? I think it would be worth it, but I have a Vita, PS3, and PS4 (though never play my PS3 anymore). You can claim all the games on the webstore in case you ever get a PS4 later.
The last 6 months (only doing 6 months to keep the list smallish since this isn't the psn thread, annual card is $50 at full price, so ~$25 for this 6 month sampleor $4.16 a month) would have gotten you the following Vita games in NA:
Joe Danger
PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale
TxK
Velocity 2X
Pix the Cat
Rainbow Moon
Spelunky
Escape Plan
Luftrausers
SteamWorld Dig
The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth
The Hungry Horde
Final Horizon
Titan Attacks
Duke Nukem 3D: Megaton Edition
Swapper
Woah Dave!
Kick & Fennick
Rogue Legacy
That's a ridiculously good deal in my opinion. Not all the games are great, obviously, but there are enough 'must haves' just for my vita to validate ps+ even if I didn't have the other systems. You also get extra discounts during sales, which pays for my subscription in and of itself. I already owned several of those games on Steam but prefer playing on my vita by a long shot. It only takes a couple 'great' games to make me feel like my ps+ annual purchase is justified (say, Binding of Isaac + TxK + Velocity 2X), making all the rest of the games in the above list bonus... not to mention, there are still 6 months more worth of Vita games, plus ps4/ps3 not shown, plus discounts... it's the easiest $50*(or less) I spend a year on gaming.

Buuuu buuu buuuuuut you don't actually own the games. Sony is just tying you down man, scaming us all. WAKE UP
Finally found a good team who is wrecking me as a monster again, people should come play Evolve

I think it's because that's how the sender is added to your list upon accepting the gift -- via account e-mail rather than profile id. In Steam Community's earlier days it was possible to search for friends via e-mail address, but this functionality was later removed for the very reason you mention.
It would be nice if you dialed down a bit on treating this thread like an IRC chat room. You don't need to post literally everything that comes to mind.
really weird that you single me out but sure, whatever
You're one of the top posters in the thread so the volume of asides that stand on their own stick out. Things in general are still good, though: I actually started reading through the thread in its entirety again, something I couldn't really continue doing following last year's post-Summer Sale influx.

Capcom needs to make a new Resident Evil Outbreak. Classic Resident Evil style since the remake has done so well, with the ease of use that comes with Steam and modern server systems (or peer to peer if need be) for a group of friends to work together.
I would also settle for Resident Evil Pinball table.

Now that I finished Apotheon, I can't decide what to play next.
I'm kinda in the mood for an adventure or a puzzle game. The Talos Principle is extremely tempting, but I'll probably wait for a price drop.
Then there's Grim Fandango, but I have yet to decide if Double Fine deserves the 13,something it costs on the Humble Store. By the way, does anyone know why the game isn't available on GMG? I still have some credit there and it would certainly make the choice much easier
Or I might just play a game from my backlog, like Cognition or the Blackwell games. Decisions, decisions...

King's Quest VI? Have you played that one. It's my favorite adventure game, and it has some cool puzzles. Beneath a Steel Sky is free on GOG(still?) and it was a fun little adventure. Disregard if you have played through these.
i don't really agree with what you say but if it annoys ppl i guess i'll see about toning myself down
I begin to think that Agarest 2 releasing this month got in a way of Way of the Samurai, not that I know anything, I just had this occur to me.
Yesterday I played Crystal Story 2 for two hours, decided it's time to play something else, like maybe finish some game of my unfinished 100... then I've played another two hours of Crystal Story 2 (><)
I'm having a blast with this game, it's so my kind of game, it's not serious at all, humour is light and always present, there are lot of different things to do, I went fishing yesterday for example. The only downside is that I have no means of obtaining whistles for dropping my pet on heads of my enemies, I got some from my pet initially but I didn't find any other means of obtaining them, that bothers me and a game is easy, but that's OK for me, as long as I'm having fun.

Oh, so Steve's working on Dota? Don't know if people will be happy about this or not
Yeah, I probably would have bought Grim Fandango by now, but the various reports of bugs really put me off :/
Good about Blackwell, I really have to check it out sooner or later.
Uhm, King's Quest VI? I'll check it out, thanks. Never played a game from this series before

I need to finish Cognition and the Blackwell games myself. If you by any chances haven't played the Room yet (sorry if you did, I don't remember), I suggest it a lot and then some, it's great.
Not sure what you want to say from the link. It is a technical forum where people report bugs in a game. Many game developers have such forums for bug reporting. If the devs are actually reading the report,we don't know
Ah, I loved The Room, yes! It was such a great game that made me crave other puzzle games, then you guys recommended the Hexcell series and I binged through them all as well
I still love you.

Incoming S&M skins and phallic-shaped items.

It's such a lovely adventure game. Steam has the full series in one package, and gog has them in separate groupings(1-3, 4-6, 7-8)

Lol, my mouse died in the middle of a match and I still won(had to run across the room, grab my xbox one controller, and plug it in) Maybe Evolve will get old but as of now just playing as the monster is exhilarating, especially when better players know how to work together to take you down. Unlocked the second monster who plays completely different as he focuses on flight and ranged attacks. Imagine the meta game will get pretty complicated as people figure out the different hunter roles and monster abilities.
First they came with horse armor, and we all laughed.
Then they came with palette switches for fightmans, and we scoffed, because fightmans people, right?
Then they came with monthly map packs, and less people laughed, and those of us that were left, grew worried.
Then came Evolve, and we reaped what we sowed.
I don't want to overwhelm milena87, so I'll say that VI is great as a single title to choose from the series. You're right about the remakes, as the first 2 have been a blast. Love the AGD guys and their great work.

ya, I remember that you played through Hexcell series.
For more obscure games, if you have some of Nightmares from the Deep games, try them, they aren't your typical hidden object games, there are a lot of puzzles and good and games in general are enjoyable even if somewhat on easy side, variety of puzzles pays for it. And you should have some of those games as these have been in several bundles.
that's so true, Turf, it hurts.
Where we draw the line? And why we still haven't?

Just finished Far Cry 4, ending felt a little rushed and not all that satisfying, didn't really like any of the choices I was given.
Big ending spoiler below, don't click unless you've beaten the story.

Is it weird that I liked and sympathized more with Pagan Min than I did with Sabal or Amita? They were both asses, but I had to pick one or the other, I picked Sabal even though his ideas are messed up. Let Amita go, killing her was kinda pointless and just a shitty thing for Sabal to ask Ajay to do. I had dinner with Pagan at the end but blew his chopper up on his escape because I couldn't just let him get away. It would have been cool if they actually did something with the whole "you're the new king of Kyrat, I picked you to take over" plotline other than a throwaway line at the end that effects nothing. Sabal was still the leader at the end and I was still the goon that just runs around and kills stuff.

Apparently I have The Cursed Heart, I'll check this out as well, thanks
just ignore it, or you'll go insane
I posted DRAGON THE MMO on previous page, just for you, please don't let my work be in vain!

I rather enjoyed Cognition, so I'd suggest that. Very good story and main characters. Not played the Blackwell games though.

Good. There have been a lot of scummy developers who either promise keys and never deliver or simply hold the "vote = game" in order to get free press/interest before backing out.

Why not just kill GL? You know, something that they've been talking about for years...
because if they kill it overnight for a reason as dumb as this one then suddenly we're back to 5 years ago and nothing's fixed
valve is just working on a solution at their usual glaciar pace, but for the time being, making clarifications such as these is better than nothing

Is there really a solution? Greenlight would have worked as intended, if not "free keys for voting" and that was unavoidable unfortunately. I don't see a way around it. Opening flood gates, means just that, flood, otoh situation isn't that different today. Only... not all games get greenlit, inspite of popular belief.
I tried to make Valve's work and come up with solution and I failed. It's really comes down to this: or you have someone to allow games on steam or not, it then depends on how reasonable that someone is, because imagine someone "VNs aren't games" in that position and nobody is totally unbiased, anyway, or you let users decide - meaning greenlight and obviously user votes can be bought with promise of free keys, you don't even have to deliver, just promise, how it have been proven time and again (><)
Or you let selfpublishing run wild and then some really ugly things happen sooner or later, rather sooner and users are unhappy with broken or unfinished games being released on daily basis.
Actually users are never happy either way, no? (><)
