offline mode
Im reviewing it. I can't tell you how it is due to embargo, but I am suprised in a good way.
Steam offline mode (doesn't count playtime or achievements from my experience tho) or just block DarkSoulsII.exe in your firewall.

Decided to strike another Steam review for the early morning.
Deadly Premonition is not a masterpiece in a traditional sense, and it's too flawed in ways to be named a good game (maybe okay at best). But Deadly Premonition is probably one of the best gaming experiences you could have that's released in the last few years. You'll laugh, you'll cringe, you'll be hit with feels, and you'll panic. When all is said and done, we need more games like Deadly Premonition. It's the mid-tier game in one of the purest forms, flawed and arguably bad, but with so much heart and enjoyable elements you may not care, and hardly any game will put a smile on your face as much as DP does.
Great review, (thought I'd argue that as a "game" game Deadly Premonition isn't even that bad) as an experience it's amazing. In my top 3 best games of last gen despite all the flaws of the PC port.
Hey, apparently I own this and your review piqued my interest.ONE LAST REVIEW. Wanted to get a few on Steam I guess. Might be appropriate as this game is available in a bundle right now. I wrote this review to one of my favorite songs in the game, "Where Is It Going?"

Ahh ok, Steam offline mode, thanks. Wish the game had an option for it.
Meaning it's a good game?

Just wish there was a way to talk to the covenant lead without entering the Belfrey. Last time I got invaded before I would even finish the conversation.

I'm too scared to have even played a Souls game...
I love when I invade a world and the host is talking there.

How come?
If you're avoiding it due to difficulty you should give it a try, it's really not as hard as people say it is.
But there are two Jedi Knight 2. Should I go with Dark Forces or Jedi Outcast?
Yeah, I have more trouble with Super Hexagon.

There is only one jedi knight 2. The other is dark forces 2. Learn 2 read.
I was thinking about using my Steam money today to buy that Jedi Knight complete pack. Sounds like I have a really good reason to do it now.
You know FEAR?
They came from the guys who made FEAR.
And FEAR is the greatest shooter of all time, so these are the second and third-greatest, respectively.
Female-led shooter, Bond-like. Hilarious as can be... We're talking tricycle chases and discussions from henchmen on correlation and causation.

He meant Outcast.

I was too. Then one day I just said "Fuck it" and dove in head first. One of the most rewarding experiences I have ever seen in gaming. In an industry of watered down games that hold your hand, Souls games are anything but.
What the? I was reading it as Jedi Knight 2 Dark Forces this whole time 0.0
All right. Gonna decide on whether to pick it up tomorrow.
Souls games think you have cooties.
Wish we'd see a little more of that silly side of you around here, man.
Well, I did actually sink ~3 hours into Blackgate, but otherwise yes.
I'm starting to wonder if I'm the only person who uses the cards (and Playfire rewards, etc.) as motivation to actually play some of these games for a couple of hours, particularly the more arcade-y ones.

You really should try it, don't let the difficulty sway you.
If you can hold down the left bumper on a controller you can beat Dark Souls.
If you're holding down the left bumper, you're doing it wrong.

I don't get it, how so?
You should watch the films. It will give you chills.
A bit of a warning, this will be my rantiest review I think I've ever done.
An enjoyable rant it was too, keep it up. However I do have a follow up question to all that since you brought it up, how was the movie? I have a DVD of it my friend threw at me (literally), but I have yet to sit down and actually watch it.
Aye, it was just such a shocking discovery and yet it all made perfect sense to me. One of the few times I truly felt a gamut of emotions from a video game story's ending.
... wait we are talking about the Dog ending right?
Very good to know as otherwise I might have only done the bare minimum for that.
Wonderful news.
Thanks for Empire!
Wh... what?
Why have I not heard about this before? Is it some kind of barely-known cult classic?
(I've never played FEAR. inb4 omg you must)
Also ROCKETS³ seems super cool
While ROCKETSROCKETSROCKETS seems great and all, I personally prefer the deeply rooted and possibly Dark Souls cannon (praise the sun) story contained in Starwhal: Just the Tip.

The saw esqe moment you mention in your review towards the end of Homecoming is still one of the most hilariously nasty things I've seen in a game. Remember I was playing it with my sister when it came out and we were both screaming because I failed the qte and got the death. Wish more games would have its location based damage system for weapons.
Shame Downpour isn't coming to PC apparently, has a lot of flaws but it was a much better game and more in line with the rest of the series. Great side quests as well. If the enemy design has been more inspired it would have been up there with the first few games. But the enemies were all pretty cliched and bland which is a pretty unforgivable flaw in a Silent Hill game and reduced a lot of the fear.

Silent Hill Homecoming/The Movie: The Game, ughh. Such a terrible Silent Hill game. Downpour isn't the best but at least it's better than Homecoming, so it's a shame it never got a PC release, even though it's kind of bad. Downpour also contributed to the best E3 conference ever.

Which games in the Steam Star Wars bundle are worth buying?
I liked Homecoming. The story was crap, but I didn't mind the combat or some of the sections (lady in the hotel who asks you for pictures). The one place that was a notable let down, was when they tease you with this creepy dollhouse inked in black and red, but you get a shitty descending staircase into fucking nothing.
Downpour has probably the worst story/characters in a SH game- Syfy channel late night bull, at best. The enemies also looked like Disney rejects, and the lack of an actual inventory sucked. Oh and the terrible chase scenes a la Shattered Memories, those weren't fun. I did enjoy the open world aspect, but it was underdone.

So in order to receive those sweet playfire rewards, you need to boot them the absolute first time ever? If so, goddamn, I booted almost half of the SW games to see how well they work on modern systems.
Finished Dark forces earlier today. For almost 20 year old game, it was suprisingly fun. I recommend running it with DarkXL-mod for modern resolutions and mouselook. Next up dark forces 2!

In that bundle? Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy, Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast, and Knights of the Old Republic. You can get more in a better bundle on Steam, or just get the ones that you want since they're relatively cheap right now, though.
The only combat item you really need in Homecoming is the knife. It can kill pretty much everything.
Downpour had the whole "oh look, you lost all of your items! Again, for the third time" thing going on. It made all of the sidequests pretty much pointless.
It won't count If you booted them before signing up for playfire or before the rewards program stated, so you'll still get the rewards if you launch them now

Yeah, I meant in the ones on Steam itself. Which ones are good. I haven't played any of them (or if I did it's been so long I don't remember).

So lot of reviews and in the Steam forum, say Prototype 2 is a shitty PC port. Was it patched/improved since release?
Chance Hale

The vast majority of Downpour's sidequests are just additional events/stories you can find though. You do in more for the atmosphere and narrative than anything else. A lot of the game's more unique enemies and puzzles are actually exclusive to them, isn't just "kill 5 monsters" which I was pretty impressed by. Think Downpour really nailed the open world design and how you could just happen upon said "quests"
