Didn't the older Indigo Prophecy have some trouble running on some newer machines?

I thought part of the point of the remaster was to optimize it for modern day PCs, as I heard the original game had optimization issues and had trouble running on newer computers.

all i remember out of indigo prophecy is that it had one of hte best first scenes ever in a videogame and that the qte's were harder the higher your resolution was (tho maybe this was some weird piracy bug... this game is really really old)

It boggles my mind why DotEmu keeps getting all those port jobs.

Cheap and quick I guess. Their results are wildly inconsistent. At least HoMM3 still has a cracking version available and on GOG where as FFIV is 15fps battles or nothing. Seeing as they also did FFVII I wonder if they have a hand in the PS4 port? Be a shame for the console folks to miss out on the 'fun' mobile and PC folks have had with their releases.

Just the base game, no expansions available on GOG. Missing a faction added in one of the expansions.
Bad multiplayer, reviews mention it's literally unplayable.
Doesn't look any better than the HD Mod for GOG release.

If there is one thing I hate the most in video game, it has to be weapon/armor durability.

In some game, they work just fine. The Last of Us for example. I would say Dark Souls but I haven't gotten really far into the game yet.

But playing Dying Light and a steel pipe should not be breaking after 5-7 hits to a zombie.

Maybe after killing 5-7 zombies, it should be showing signs of breaking but not 5-7 hits.

This bothers me in most RPG too that I have to constantly run back to town just to get it repair. Though there are games that let you repair on the spot, thank god.

Games that once your weapon break, there is no way of repairing it, all you can do is make scraps out of it. Fuck those games.

Honestly only survival games like The Forest/Minecraft, etc or super hardcore games like Dark Souls should have it. If I have a super kick-ass flaming sword of the fire god. I want it to last forever.

Or until I find the next best thing.

/end rant.

depends on the game i guess

i really liked it in like dead rising cos it kept u doing silly things with random shit you found

i think it becomes really annoying when it's tied to complex stat based rpg crafting mechanics or whatever

Shadownet, I agree. I hate weapon breakage. I think they do it in DS more to showcase the corrosive enemies or the extremely brittle weapons.

However, I could have done without those guys that basically explode that stuff onto you, and then get up to do it again.

Yeah I never had a problem with durability with dead rising cause you can always experiment with new weapons and find something cool. And if you want to make more of your favorites, its not hard to find the part.

But in Dying Light, the protag can only take like 5-6 swings before he become completely winded and throw in that most weapons break between 5-10 hits. You're constantly looking for new weapons and running. Cause with normal weapons 5-6 hits isn't even enough to take down a normal zombie. Damn sponge.

I love my Tales JRPG games. No durability or anything. Skyrim didn't have it either, loved it.


I think that's is primarily the reason I never really gave Kingdom of Amalur a chance because of the durability mechanic. I saw it and was like nope. Not going to deal with this... I'm probably being unfair... But I'll give it another try sometime.

Btw the combat in Dying Light somehow feel sorta less satisfying than in Dead Island.. Like its sorta hit and miss..

With Dead Island I know for sure where on the zombie's body I'm aiming at. But with Dying Light.. I'm pretty sure most of my head shots hit the upper body instead. Its janky.

@speevy: oh fun I get to look forward to those guys when I get back into that game. Enemies 101

Guys that run straight at you, explode and deal some damage-over-time to you or slow you down and make you bait for the rest.

PS. Fallout is another series that I never had a problem with durability.

i think it boils down to whether breaking weapons lead to interesting situations or not

since a huge part of dead rising is finding new ways of killing zombies, weapon breaks naturally leads to you discovering other weapons and essentially having more fun with how the game overall is

i'm guessing weapons aren't too different from one another in dying light other than status effects and like swing speed and reach and whatnot, and since your weapon is tied to your progression in an essentially rpg-ish game, having your progression be gone is not really what the game's core is about

also btw durability is a generally shitty if innocuous mechanic in dark souls

Doubtful as Aspyr seems to have put a good deal of effort into this one.

Dark Cloud for the PS2 was the worst when it came to weapon durability. Skipped out on the sequel because the first was such a drag. A good thing Level-5 redeemed themselves with the great Dragon Quest VIII.

Edit: Maybe I should have mentioned from the games I have played, it's the worst.

I'm pretty sure Riveria is the worst. Every weapon has a fixed number of uses. Taking anything into battle feels awful. Still a worthwhile play though.

Do we know if the key has any activation limit (VPN required)? I know Deep Silver tends to go the distance with that. I'd be willing to grab you a code for a paypal exchange~

Yep, they squeeze it at the very bottom of the page but it does say Steam is required.

Touch my box went ahead and bought the game. So he's ahead of us.

IIRC it's only like Namco and Deep Silver that have keys that are problematic outside of the US when buying on sites like Amazon and Gamestop, so likely in the clear on Ryse.

Ah I see it now, thanks!

EDIT: Went ahead and ordered a copy, been wanting to play this game for a while and at $10 I couldn't pass it up. The site wanted to hang at the checkout process but it finally went through to PayPal, and my account says "pending", haven't ordered from GS digitally before so I hope it doesn't take too long to send the key.

uhhh

As a word of warning, at the moment this game seems to save your game based on your steam name. What this means is that changing your name causes the game to forget where your save is, and if you have any quotation marks, question marks, or any punctuation that isn't allowed in a windows folder name, the game just freezes after you choose your language at the start.
