Please, even while stanning I remain reasonable and have come to accept that Flappy Goat was peak-GOAT and they kinda jumped the shark with GoatZ, the Payday DLC was boring and seriously lacked content too. Will buy Waste of Space only when on sale or can someone tell me that it's a huge improvement?

I'm playing Mirror's Edge for the first time and fuck, the controls are bad. When they work it feels great and fluid, but more than once if you don't approach ledges or whatever in the exact way and degree the game demands, they won't line up and you'll end up clunkily retry your jumps or fall to your death and then restart.

Can't say I ever had that problem. Are you playing with a controller or M&KB

I found that an issue mostly when doing a running jump and grabbing a pipe. For some reason that screwed me up many a time.

Keyboard and mouse. The basic controls feel fine, no problems, but the parkour feels extremely scripted in the sense that if you don't align perfectly, most of the time you won't make your jumps or attach to objects.

I think I know which one you mean, pretty early on (~2 hours), where you have to go around to get to
Jacknife who's flat out on the ground
? I literally tried grabbing the third pipe 20 times - and falling to my death - until I somehow managed to skip the third pipe by jumping from the second pipe directly to the edge.

Yeah, on PC grabbing pipes mid-jump is a very common issue

From More_Badass' thread, Transmission - Reveal Trailer

Transmission is a hand painted action-adventure game that blends tactical combat, vast exploration, and intricate puzzle solving, along with a rich narrative in the realm of great science fiction cinema.

You find yourself deserted on an unknown planet, with little indication of how you arrived. Armed with your trusty plasma cutter and your ship's sentient artificial intelligence computer, you must search for a way home. During your journey you will uncover secrets and challenges beyond your imagination, along with a hidden past that this strange planet holds. As you discover this hidden past, you will ultimately have to confront your own...

- Combat is...Zelda/Souls inspired: locking onto enemies, energy shield, evading attacks, etc.
- You gather various weapons and items as you traverse the planet
- Weapons are upgradable. Your energy items, shields, etc. are tied to a finite power supply, so use must be managed
- Puzzles are influenced by Resident Evil and adventure games

The team website is here. There's meant to be a Kickstarter for it next month. Personally, I was sold just seeing that art style, then the reveal trailer made me want to throw them all the money.

In my opinion the gameplay of Butcher Bay hasn't aged well. The stealth is way too difficult and the game was too focused on setpieces. Assault on Dark Athena was a lot more solid experience

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.

Sweet, I was able to pick up Dream Runners (which I didn't have) but I was hoping for Victor Vran since it's on my wishlist. Oh well, free is free. Thanks for the heads up!

EDIT: Shalashaska's got my back, thanks man!

Such a lust for revenge..

MGSV has been #2 top seller ever since the MGS franchise sale began. Trailing only Warhammer. And the discount isn't even all that great. I think its been cheaper b4.

Konami must be thrilled. I for one can't wait for MGS6.

Ah, too late then. Why always me? Also abandoned a CS: GO match for this. Thankfully I don't do it often so it should only be 30 mins ban.
