[DXLelouch153]

Dustforce wont be going on sale,daily,or flash will it?
has a game without a discount been on those before

 

[Arthea]

surprisingly so, the Bridge is an interesting game. And art style is funny. I wonder is baddie inspired by Zelda.

Gunpoint is pretty good.

 

[Garcia]

is Dark Souls realistically playable with a kb+m or is a controller essential?


also why in the hell don't i have a controller yet?

Definitely a controller is essential.

Guys, I'm going to get an SSD in the next week or so and will reinstall my OS on there. Will I need to use the Steam backup tools to backup my installed games, or can I just backup the Steam library and copy it back in once I've reinstalled Steam? Cheers.

I had my games installed on the non ssd, but I backed up certain ones anyway. Wiped 7 from my SSD and replaced it with 8, reinstalled steam...and my games were still there. Wasted 5-10 mins on making backups that I didn't need.

Of course I did lose save files though, which was my fault.

You save your "steamapps" folder with all your games in, located at C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps

Save only that folder.

When you reinstall Steam, simply copy your steamapps folder back into the directory and check the file integrity with Steam. Done.

Umi88, thank you for F.E.A.R. 2 ! , much appreciated.

good to know when i get a new labtop next year i dont have to reinstall everything

Dark Souls

 

[kris.]

Do you not have a PS3? It's incredibly simple to use DS3s with PC games.

i've got one but i don't like using it with my PC at all. half the time it doesn't even work properly. might just find a cheap wired 360 controller to use online somewhere. they shouldn't be too expensive

You should also save the folder userdata. Many games put their saves and settings there.

ICO sucked.

Feel free to hate it. I love it so much.

Brothers bought :-D
It's available on Amazon again.

Hey I actually got a new SSD today too, though in my case I already had one for OS and this one will be just for games. From what I remember in the past with reformats and moving Steam around, if you preserve the steamapps directory Steam initially didn't show any games as installed for me but when I went to play games I know were there it would verify and "install" it without redownloading or anything.

Exactly. That and your whole Documents folder! Games also put their saves in there.

these sales always seem to last 5 days too long or something. Should be 1 week tops. Really runs out of steam (no pun intended) about a week and half in, as the thread demonstrates

Isn't that considered the worst way of doing that? There may even be some spyware associated with that method.

Remove from your computer entirely, use this method:

It is very zen. If you played ICO you will definitely enjoy Brothers due to its relaxed and contemplative nature. I'm glad I picked it up.

They still need to put Pac-Man Championship Edition on a Daily!

Game looks pretty solid and not looking to go F2P for a long time. The other choices weren't exactly stellar candidates.

Never played ICO actually, but the game looks amazing. I really like the art style from what I've seen.

have I said Brothers is very pretty? Also it has

the nicest trolls ever in a videogame

It's not like the competition were Starbound and DayZ for 50% off.

ohgosh Brothers back in stock at amazon, bought

Explosions would rock the Steam servers.

Likewise. Voting for SNOW just seems short-sighted.

I'd vote for DayZ. All this talk about the game just makes me itch for a discount towards it...which I'm betting will never come for a long time. =[

WTF?

but has promise.

We all know which would win.

Brothers does look amazing, it is pure eye candy. Since you haven't experienced ICO please consider playing if you end up enjoying Brothers. It is one of the best (silent) adventure/tales you could possibly play.

It is the better game though.

 

[honorless]

Snow apparently wasn't, either. At least Pool Nation would have been cheaper and the money spent on it would have gone toward more than just cosmetic DLC.

Though FloatingDivider, if you read this, you accidentally posted your review as "Recommended" with a thumbs-up. You should change it to "Not Recommended" with the thumbs-down since we can actually do that now.

People thirst for a decent snowboarding/skiing game. No wonder it won.

Games without sound are a little too "Early Access" for me, personally.
