Yeah, Revenant's Wing would be a natural fit for PC. It's made for a mouse.

I was kind of the same way, I really want to get back to it but I got to a place where I had to avoid robots for 5 mins or more and kept failing and going all the way back to the previous checkpoint. It wore me down at that point.

Real friends pay in Gabendollars.
I feel like I've been making that argument since 2012. Yet here I am.

_/¯I won't just say get good, as much as I want to, because I can see that issue entirely. It didn't happen to me very often, not until I went to Nightmare from normal. Then detection becomes a lot more prevalent, because their ranges increase and they seem to follow your pattern even more than on normal, and it's hell. Dropping down does the opposite, and you'll find the alien is a lot more forgiving and the loot is more plentiful. Exploration is easier, survivors are rarely aggressive, androids are easier to beat, Ripley is essentially buffed, so on, so forth. Give it another try on Novice. It may take away from the whole survival element, but you'll be less annoyed by the time between checkpoints.

I would sacrifice several posters for Crystal Chronicles on Steam.
Then I think about the possible port quality and realize Dolphin will probably still be better. Then I think about online coop and I want it again.

Only if it's Azumanga Daioh Puzzle Bobble.
RIGHT? Didn't the mobile version stop working a few IOS versions ago too? Steam solves that problem. And Tactics is still the most replayable FF.

Is up for pre-order, another pixel art/retro game that's on my radar.
Featuring Rocky!
Plus that middle-aged mutant boxing alligator.
Edited crosspost from the Steam Controller thread.
Got a Steam Controller for myself for Christmas, and it's pretty cool. Probably my favorite thing about it is the ability to play games that use a separate launcher without having to get up from my chair.
Currently experimenting with the DPAD settings for shmups, but I haven't yet found something that I feel confident with. For both radial & cross gate, too small a deadzone makes me press diagonals by accident, and too large a deadzone prevents me from hitting all the directions by just rolling my thumb.
Hopefully something will click and the DPAD will feel awesome after enough time with the controller.

Were these posted? Searching the names in the thread didn't turn up results.
Strawberry Vinegar
The Sad Story of Emmeline Burns
Sepia Tears
I wonder how strawberry vinegar is. Both the game and food.
Booted up Assassins Creed Syndicate since I found out the cloth 30fps glitch got fixed.
Uplay overlay says i'm getting 59fps while the steam overlay says I'm getting 60fps.
WHO DO I BELIEVE? Have I been gaming with micro stutter this entire time without noticing? How do I fix this?

Does it say you're getting exactly 59fps? No decimals following?

Oh yea please Chrono Cross I would give my daughter for that port.
>Implying I have a daughter.
No decimals for either
Pro tip: turn them off and play the damned game.
NOT UNTIL I FIGURE THIS OUT

Dunno about Strawberry Vinegar itself, but it is by the same devs as Asphyxia, which I really enjoyed. The Sad Story of Emmeline Burns is also by the same devs and it's free, I will try that one today.
Well they seem to be dripping them out over time, we did just get FF6 after all.

I don't think anyone here posted the teaser art/screen for Outlast 2 to SteamGAF yet?
Also confirmed the original game sood 3.5 million copies, and comment on how with the first game they had to rush somewhat to finish it before they ran out of money, but because it did so well now they can take their time and be more ambitious. I look forward to it!

I look forward to it, the creepy southern KKK/hillbilly vibe there going for is unique and I think it will make for a spooky game.

Looks haunting. Good on their success. I might just buy Day 1, pending trailers and gameplay preview.
I don't know about the game but they can go great together in a salad.
The Sad Story of Emmeline Burns came out today or yesterday so it's fairly new (to Steam, it's been on titch.io for a while).
It's free so it's worth trying it. I'll probably post about it when I play it.
I have nightmares of having to review Sonic Riders...

Yup, the South setting, KKK angle, and religious tones shouod be fun. And hoping by more ambitious, that means the game can switch itself up and not suffer from front-loaded scariness like the first one.
Well, all the handheld Sonic games for one thing. Sonic Advance 1-3, Rush games, etc. Storybook titles, Heroes and Shadow, the Rider games. I think GameGear titles are technically unlockabke in Adventure DX? Knuckles Chaotix. Hoping for Taxman ports of Sonic 1 & 2. Tails and Knuckles added playable in Sonic 1, 2 has a secret new level in Hidden Palace.
Still some ways off probably, but same on my hand. I was sold on trying Outlast after I had played it at PAX when it was announced.
Good choice. It's also the best game to get an HD treatment as its entirely 3D modeled. Tricky part would be the in-game graphic preredered cutscenes.
I'd do dirty and lewd things for Vagrant Story.
How bad can the backgrounds be for FF 9 compared to 8 or 7 with modded models? 8 has one that basically upscaled and filtered all the backgrounds but there is some problems around edges and water on certain screens. It gets rid of the heavy pixelation though. The other alternative is to apply a SweetFX scanlines filter on it which helps out a bit. I might try it for 9.

Guys, from 1 to 10 scale, just how scary is Alan Wake?
Are there a lot of jump scares? I hate jump scares..

3-4 in my opinion. Remedy don't call it a horror game, but a psychological action-thriller. The game has good atmosphere and some moments, but honestly it's not that bad, and not much in terms of jump scares outside of some enemies in gameplay jumping you and one very minor thing
if you walk in a bear trap.
Some great sound design though! Recommend headphones.

Not high, a lot of the "scares" are heavily telegraphed with a time slow-mo effect to give you time to react.

Ooh, sounds good to me.
Yeah, I've heard lots of good things about the game. But I'm always reluctant to try the game due to the horror tag it has. Thanks!
Around 3 sounds about right, it's less spooky than something like bioshock, and the game is pretty long with a lot of linear shooty sections so whatever horror elements there are wear off after a while, I don't think there are jump scares, the combat scenarios are pretty predictable and sometimes I think it tells you when enemies spawned.
