what the fuck is the point of lighting a bonfire if you still need to rest at it to save your progress?

Fuck.

goddamn Blighttown

Just one of the many things they fixed in DkS2. Though once that was actually to my benefit, on my NG++ when I took the shortcut to blightown, lit the bonfire and then beat the boss and rang the bell, I was able to homeward straight back to firelink because I didn't sit on the bonfire down there. :p

I played the original torchlight and i didn't like it much, Diablo 3 on the ps4 however is really dope, especially with friends. I got the second torchlight but still haven't really played it. I'll get to it... Eventually. But I doubt Ill like it much, but hey, I only spent $5. If I can even get 1 hour of enjoyment from it the purchase is justified. :D

I got 13 hours of play out of it and had an alright time at the beginning but it definetly gets old.

I personally enjoyed Diablo 3 for two or three playthroughs and didn't care enough for Torchlight 2 to finish it.

That seems to be a trend, me and a few friends bought it day 1 to play co-op and all 4 of us dropped off playing it and none of us finished, but Diablo III, I've played 3 times.

Like I'm trying to play dead rising 3 but I just can't. Its not a bad game or anything, i think its alright, I just don't want to play it though, neither do I want to try out some of the other weapon classes in the MH4 demo for the 3ds, AND im not even in the mood for smash bros and those who chat with me KNOW how much I love to smash. Work just kills the vibe for the whole damn day. >_>

Did they change that in DS2? I know in DS2, you can light a bonfire but not rest at it and you'll respawn at the bonfire at death, but because you didn't rest, the enemies won't respawn if you just light it.

I forgot they changed that. Didn't want to reset the enemies, just save my spot. Luckily it was just the top section. Now comes the shitty part.

What is the best way to backup games from steam?

The built in tool or just copy&paste onto my external?
Click to expand...

Personally, I don't bother. Most game sync saves to the Cloud automatically, so you don't need backups for the save game element... and as for the games themselves, meh, Steam ain't going anywhere any time soon.

Dead Rising 3 was so disappointing. They made the game so boring by removing all the challenge.
Click to expand...

I'm going through it on my Xbone right now (got it very, very cheap) and I completely agree. It's fairly easy, with a ton of backtracking and going from one edge of the city to another. The biggest challenge is sticking with it, in my opinion.

The weapon combos aren't even that cool. They're mostly "useful" weapons without a lot of fun joke weapons. Even the "useless" weapons still work pretty well since the game is so easy.

EDIT: In case anyone is curious, no this isn't Nightmare mode. I played a bit of that first and while slightly more challenging, it was grindy/bulletspongy/not fun challenging. I got about halfway before deciding I wasn't having fun and switching to a more fun mode.

ah yea i got a side quest like too, someone wanted a chainsaw. i spent a bit of time looking for it and didn't find it. lost my patience to do that shit, then I found out that the game is actually timed. Just been doing story missions since then, fuck doing side quest. I hate games where they fucking time me.

In retrospect, I'd have to say that buying the humble beatemup bundle was a bad idea.

So far the only decent game from the lot has been Double Dragon: Neon (and Guacamelee but I already bought/played through it awhile back)

The rest of the games range from mediocre to WTF awful.

Can you be more specific about the other games?

I was planning on buying the bundle. I'm a sucker for a good beat-em-up.

Edit: I bet the Jesus vs. zombies one is WTF awful, right? Looks like pointless garbage.

Well.

Ascendant - Roguelike action-platformer. It's eh...it's okay I guess. It's just part of a genre that's rapidly getting tired.

Fist of Awesome - More traditional beatemup..though I don't know how traditional you can expect when your health refills like Call of Duty. Otherwise it's just mundane. Lot of punching the same thing over and over again.

Fist of Jesus - SHIT http://steamcommunity.com/id/pepsimanvsjoe/recommended/321110

Reaper: Tale of a Pale Swordsman - A smartphone game. Not really a beatemup either. You just get ambushed by monsters, fight your way out, upgrade your equipment. It's definitely designed for touch-screens (you attack normally by getting close to enemies, you only press buttons to do special moves).

Super Comboman - Not sure what to think about this one, I haven't gotten out of the tutorial stage. However, you know it's a bad sign when the Steam reviews are described as "mixed".

Rule of thumb: games containing Jesus are never good. If he's in there unironically, it's probably done on the lowest of budgets by Christian devs trying to "spread the word" through a new medium, and they sacrifice fun and/or gameplay to do it. If he's there ironically or to be made fun of, the devs are trying to be controversial because they know their gameplay isn't gonna hold up otherwise.

I figured it was going to be bad.
But wow. A videogame that fails basic mechanics 101.

Jesus deserves better.

Wow, didn't even know "The Body Changer" had made it to steam. The devs messaged me at least 3 times on Desura to help "promote" the game. I'll be sure to promote it now!
