anyone got double dragon trilogy? any opinions about how good the port is?

->

Double Dragon 1 port it plays like it was one of those sprite rip clones, like it was done on the beats of rage engine and then they totally fucked up, the performance is all over the place.

Double Dragon 2 plays ok it no way near as janky, it does have some of the weird performance issues though.

Double Dragon 3 This game is just bad, but the glaring thing is their is an item shop in this game that uses coins as in real money the problem is no arcade machine probably a left over from the android version which I am sure had some IAP. If someone figures this out let me know.

:Looks up reviews all those rose tinted steam reviews lol.

In it's current state I can't recommend it for more than a buck.

The fact that it was done by DotEmu should give you an idea how bad it is.

 

[salazar547]

One GAFfer mentioned the ports leave a lot to be desired and are likely to not be worth their price atm =/

thanks , i guess i will wait some months to get it

What are some of your favorite games that are same screen co-op fun?

 

[derExperte]

What are some of your favorite games that are same screen co-op fun?

Lara C. and the Guardian of Light and Portal 2 (not sure if the PC version has splitscreen).

 

[Nabs]

Completed Ys II, for me is the best chapter of the series.
A lot of small villages, a lot of dungeons, nice sidequests. Maybe the only issue is the final boss is too easy compared with bosses you faced before.
And basically XSeed made the right choice on presenting Ys I+II as a "collection", since they are basically one game, splitted in two parts.

I'm glad you liked it. More people need to give Ys 2 a shot, especially if they played the first one.

What are some of your favorite games that are same screen co-op fun?

Trine 2. It's fun to break things.

Since this indeed is SteamGAF we talked about it right after release and not one day later. Get on our level!

And I should've grabbed tier 2 when the average was ~4$. Now I don't know.

If it does drop on the second to last day, I'll BTA
If not, I'll just $1 it.
Bound to be a few hundred bots buying the $1 tier for reselling keys, that should drop the average by a bit.

Yeah me too. I saw it go from 4.10 to 4.07 so I thought it would go down, not up and waited. I guess I goofed up.

Rayman Legends and Origins for sure.

Do you also wait for Steam to notify you that a game on your wishlist is on sale? Snake pls.

Yeah, seems like almost any zombie game will sell a ton, especially those that really emphasize the survival aspect.

Does H1Z1 have anything that sets it apart from the rest? Made by Sony? MMO (but you can play the other games with others too)? I don't get it either.

Getting strong Nexuiz vibes from this. And we know how that turned out.

 

[Arthea]

IDK guys, unless you have most of them games, this bundle looks like worth $8 to me, let alone $5 for BTA. *shrugs*

 

[Baron_Calamity]

http://store.steampowered.com/app/295110/

lol, the reviews. Yet it's still #1 seller and in the top 10 most played games. People are really thirsty for this type of game.

It seems to be a trend. Whenever someone in early access / kickstarter says they aren't making X type of game, they are almost assuredly making X type of game.

 

[KainXVIII]

The fact that it was done by DotEmu should give you an idea how bad it is.

DotEmu? Metal Slug 3 was solid port and Sanitarium was finely adapted for modern systems (even with achievements).

 

[TheLetdown]

It's a Firefighting roguelike that plays a bit like a twin stick shooter that Laughing Jackal* are developing.

The plan is that it's going to be coming to Vita first and then other platforms after that and you can see a trailer and more info here http://blog.eu.playstation.com/2014/08/15/first-gameplay-footage-ps-vita-pyroguelike-flame/

*Declaration of interest. Despite the username I'm technically employed by Laughing Jackal. I just do an awful lot of work on the Ghostlight side of things. Largely because I'm the office JRPG geek,

Oooooo, I'm telling the roguelike fans on you. If it's twin-stick gameplay, surely it's not turn-based, and if it's not turn-based, surely you mean that the game is a roguelikelike or a roguelight or a rogueroguelikelike.

Spoiler

I'm a big fan of rogue-anything games. I don't get too mired in the whole definitions, using the term roguelike as a blanket, but there's a fiercely loyal sector who get lexicographical when it comes to roguelikes.

I kind of hate "clever" wrong spelling of words.

I agree with R3alityExxxists. It's eyerolling, and can really put me off of a game.

Have you played Raiden Legacy? Or the 15 fps locked Final Fantasy 4?

Nope, but i heard they were bad, don't know that it was developed by DotEmu before, lol

I really want a zombie survival game without zombies. I know it sounds crazy. i just want the setting and the enemy to be different. Zombies seem to be an almost cheap way of doing it. No imagination at all.

What about a Robot apocalypse, aliens, or even giant ants? Something different.

 

[Kifimbo]

Sir, You are Being Hunted has robots and it's a survival game.

Yeah. People just going all "well i donnnnnnnnnnnnt know" over a dollar. Weird to me, but whatevz.

 

[titch]

I only really want two games out of it so defo getting them all was just more interested if anyone really wanted the other titles in it that I am unlikely to play/install

Guac, Ascend & at a push reaper are the only games I am likely to play unless someone was to really sell me on the others.

 

[Deques]

There is a group called Group Buy in Steam. There you can split the cost of a bundle with other people who might want your spares. I have been using the group a few times.
For those who just only want parts of a bundle and want to split the cost with other people can use this group

 

[derExperte]

I know but while those games look okay/good none are on my wishlist and I already own Guacamelee and Double Dragon (on PS3) which makes the highest tier uninteresting. It's less about the dollar and more about if I want the bundle at all and seeing that I could've paid less yesterday.... I'll decide next week.

 

[Tizoc]

Looks like i missed that the new humble bundle is up heh.

 

[Darth Kupi]

You mean Toxikk? Well, it's a game from Reakktor Studios...

I think it looks cool. What was the last pc arena shooter? Unreal tournament 3 in 2007?

I don't mind buying the bundle and then putting the rest up for raffle but if someone really wants them in advance I'd be happy to buy the bundle and gift some stuff too.

So, I'm going to play Dark Souls in a few days but just wanted to prepare. My specs are:

i7-4810MQ 2.8GHz
8GB RAM
GTX 970m

I want to play it at 1080p and 30fps locked, with a DS4 controller and without GFWL.

So, I understand that I opt in to the Beta to play it only on Steam. But I have the following questions:

1. What's the best mod for DS4 button interface?
2. Do I just set everything to Ultra?
3. Are there any other recommended things to install?

 

[Stallion Free]

There have been like 20 smaller releases, all varying degrees of shit, in the last five years that would fall into the subgenre.

There isn't much point to the genre since Q3. It can only go downhill from there and Q3 is ageless.

It's a good group, sometimes you just only want one game from a bundle, and buying the whole bundle for just one game seems a bit waste of money. Although you have to be lucky to find someone sell that particular game you want

Why would you want to play it locked at 30fps? With those specs you could easily play it at 1080p/60fps. Just use DSFix.

Why in the world would you want 30? Your machine should easily be able to handle the game at locked 60.

I view it more as a stealth game but yeah, I guess it qualifies

Anyone here patiently waiting for fall 2015 games to be announced so that I can know what games i'll be getting with my new gfx card? Thinking it's gonna be Arkham Knight, whatever flavor of asscreed is coming out this year, but i'm wondering what the third one might be.

Because of those bugs/glitches that have been mentioned

 

[Darth Kupi]

There isn't much point to the genre since Q3. It can only go downhill from there and Q3 is ageless.

But this seems to be more into emulating ut2004 and ut3's style of arena shooting and open map vehicular warfare rather than q3's laser focused small scale death matching.

It has potential, but currently there's almost no content... I must have played for maybe 30-40 minutes and got bored. I guess I'll wait for the full release.

1) Check the Dark Souls Nexus. http://www.nexusmods.com/darksouls/?

In DSFix, you'll want to enable texture override, then put whatever you download into the dsfix/tex_override folder. I also recommend grabbing the High-Res UI and Subtitle one.

I do recommend playing at 60fps and dropping it to 30 when you're going down large ladders or trying to make tricky jumps. You can toggle your FPS by hitting backspace at anytime. If you're using DS4Windows you can set hotkey swipes to handle this stuff. It's pretty good. I got a swipe for FPS, another for no hud, and another to toggle the hud mod (mini hud).
