Never heard of it, goggled and found myself facing Nickelodeon logo with Avatar: The Last Airbender. I did watch the show and did like it but that was years ago. as for a game of the show I expect it to be no better than move licensed games.

So no, I am not interested and I never played games from Platinum as well... What makes you interested?

Well, if you had played a Platinum game before you would be interested.

I should say that my only experience with Platinum is MGR, but that game was so face meltingly awesome that I'm very much looking forward to anything these guys do.

It's coming to PS4, PS3, XB1, XB360 and PC - published by Activision.

lol pretty much everything but the Wii U. SO glad to hear it's coming on PC though! Hell Yeah!

Yeah we really need more of their games on Steam. Even their old games as Clover like Viewtiful Joe and Okami would be amazing to have on Steam.

Legend of Korra is a sequel, and Korra is Aang's successor as the new Avatar, show quality wise I still prefer TLA, but LoK never lacked any big fights. Fights with element manipulation, why aren't you excited?

Yup if there's one thing I always love about Platinum, they always get the gameplay mechanics down pretty well. So many great Platinum games coming soon! Can never have enough Platinum.

I really wish we could have an Okami HD port.
I'm glad Acti didn't go for its own in house studio for a quick cash grab.

Sadly no.

The series is good and the universe is perfect for an action game. Also, Platinum Games has delivered some pretty awesome games, like Bayonetta and Megal Gear Rising.

Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.

What’s going on here?
SteamGaf sent Morningbus over 6 months worth of M&M cable credit codes. He agreed to stream Serious Sam 1 to 3, a series of games he has often compared unfavorably against a swift kick to the key areas.

But people like Serious Sam? Hell, I like Serious Sam!
Come, sip deep of his essence and let him pull back the veil behind the greatest fraud perpetrated in the history of the world.

Wait…
Just watch the stream.

No, hold up a sec. Why are people giving Morningbus their M&M debit cards I heard so much about?
That M&M promotion initially started off offering both $6 debit cards and $6 cable credits. However, the internet being what it is depleted those cards within just a few weeks of the promotion and now they are only giving away the cable credits. Some people have no need for this type of code and some people are just having fun seeing exactly how far Morningbus can take it.

Can I join in?
Certainly! Just join the Unofficial NeoGAF Mumble server (details here) and join the Serious Stream room. You can also chat through the Twitch.TV link from above.

MadWorld
Infinite Space
Bayonetta
Vanquish
Anarchy Reigns
Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance
The Wonderful 101
Bayonetta 2
The Legend of Korra
Scalebound

Out of all of them I have played zero so yeah I haven't, and the line-up seems small to me but I need to try one of their games out sometime. As for scalebound looked interesting but what they showed was all CGI and nothing real plus XBONE ONLY. just makes it likely that I will never play it.

Start with Metal Gear Rising.

Was thinking that, perhaps should buy it sometime.

I've never played a game developed by Platinum. Guess I should fix that...

Yes since you have Steam look up Metal Gear Rising now! If you have any of the consoles then the Platinum choices really open up with games like Vanquish, Wonderful 101 and soon to be Bayo 2. You should really just play Metal Gear Rising though since it's right here on Steam, and plus that fighting system and Dat Soundtrack. Power Vocals!!!!

Sadly no.
So basically you're only disinterested because you don't know what to expect. Platinum is a highly talented developer that excels at making action games, and the benderverse has a lot of potential, so this could be incredibly fun.

Platinum have developed mostly decent to amazing quality games, so the minute you play one, you'll understand why people get really hyped for them.

Since MGR is the only game available on PC officially, start with that. Once you figure out how to play the game, it's great. And the OST is so good.

Start with Metal Gear Rising.

It's on my wishlist! Gonna pick it up next sale.

I'm considering getting Bayonetta 2 for the Wii U too. Since they decided to port the first one to the system as well it seems like something I need to pick up.

I ended up buying two more bundles so I could give away more copies of The Cat Lady. There's something wrong with me, help!

You're missing the best Platinum games of the generation if you don't have a Wii U.

Will have to wait and see, but to be fair I am not overly interested in The Last Airbender. But Will have to go give MGR a go and see for myself! :) Everyone is sooo crazed about Platinum! he he! as for me I will stick with my PC for now consoles don't exactly interest me. Until they focus on PC a little more I doubt I will care too much for Platinum. Good night!

Reading the description would've helped but I didn't expect VDHHD to be a rather intricate Rogue Legacy-style game where you can choose between heroes with different abilities and level stats up permanently, I thought it would be something simpler.

Don't know about the longevity yet (played 1hr) but compared to Legacy I like the short levels with a mini-boss at the bottom instead of having to grind a while before getting somehwere. Here there's instant gratification including temporary level ups you lose after dying and permanent upgrades that are purchasable in the levels and in the hub with gold (which you only lose between runs when rerolling the heroes offered). Keys are important as well as they're used for multiple purposes like opening chests, removing obstacles, freeing computer controlled helpers or even bypassing a mini-boss with five keys. And there's more, for example short quests that get you XP, water that flows around when blocks are destroyed, the possibility to warp back to the top and lots of tombstones which e.g. spawn artifacts but also enemies when activated. Enemy variety is high, graphics are good enough for a 5€ game and the artstyle reminds me of Scribblenauts (in a good way).

Almost forgot another nice touch, you can play as 'pacifist' and gain more XP by picking up symbols that disappear after killing one enemy (kills by ai companions don't count). Also levels have modifiers, enemies with less HP but more damage, two bosses instead of one etc.

A few cons: No online coop, only local and LAN. Sometimes enemies spawn right into me and when the health is low which can lead to an unavoidable death. Or there's a bunch cuddled together and it's impossible to fight them without losing a lot of health (avoiding those mobs is an option most of the time). Lastly the controller config needs work due to a few inconsistencies and bugs and button icons would've been appreciated. Overall the controls are fine though, very responsive.

So thumbs up from me so far, a pleasant surprise.

I was the other entrant in this and I still lost.

Such horrible ModBot luck.

That is an awesome game so I don't think there anything wrong with you, on the contrary I reckom this game deserves more love so I approve of your giveway.
 
I'm giving away two Deus Ex games that never existed.

I'm about halfway through Tomb Raider Legend and having an absolute blast despite horrible camera and some general jankiness. I also have Anniversary and Underworld. Are there any other games on Steam like TR that are good?

Does the directors edition of Deus Ex have a separate sub or does it replace the standard edition?

Separate.

While the new Tomb Raider isn't a puzzle platformer like those 3, it's still very good.
