Maybe it was because I played it on the three-shitty with a fucking controller, but it felt flat and lifeless to me.

To each his own.
Haven't played it yet (still on my wishlist) but I guess that is one of the drawbacks to virtual Textures Carmack couldn't resolve in time (do Wolfenstein and TEW still have this issue?). Wouldn't be surprised if this is still an issue even with way more VRAM because this is probably due to the texture management adding some latency, using a higher level mip maps for unavailable texture pages until it frees some less used pages and adding the desired ones at the right mip map level. Could be wrong though.
Anyway, just bought TEW and will be able to find out myself ... once the download finishes :>

This statement is so incredibly wrong considering there are like only one or two good otome games.

That likely contributed to it.
To each his own, sure. And Max Payne 3 has some of the best shooting gameplay in the history of TPSs.
I'd love a code if you still have it.

Oh yeah, I wasn't talking about the state of PA. I've heard some shady stuff there, so I'm definitely not going to defend it.
I was more addressing the comments they had on the game balance. Every RTS game is going to seem like a rush fest if you are taking your time to meticulously build up a base, while your opponent is rapidly expanding and building an army to crush you with. That doesn't make it devoid of strategy. The strategy is in how you manage your time and resources, as much as it is in unit placement. Especially the line about the game rewarding the player who "drew the quickest line through the content" was puzzling, because RTSs are focused on mastery rather than content.
Perhaps PA is less strategic than most games, but I wouldn't trust most reviewers to know the difference.
Well, I tried playing it with a controller before going back to m/kb and - at least the first chapter - sucked hard, even though seeing how they mapped the key on the keyboard it kinda seems like they developed with a controller in their mind (G to roll? G? wth is this, a spaceship simulator that I have to go all the way to G?).
Anyway, I guess the actual gunplay is satisfying, but the main issue is that every time you start to feel badass yourself there is a cutscene breaking the badassery.
I can understand why they decided to fragment so much the gameplay (both from a narrative and a technical standpoint - considering that cutscenes "cover" ALL the game loadings), but it was in fact a huge buzzkill.
MP2 was more satisfying in this sense also because you could run and gun for minutes without interruptions.

I played all of MP3 with a controller.
Loved every second of it. Like I said I had the easy aim on though.
Which was similar to Red Dead where you would just snap onto enemies.

No I am going by the crappy standards and conventions that are common to that specific genre.

It doesn't seem unfinished. The game isn't all that fun compared to TA or even Supreme commander but it seems feature complete. I know the promised DRM free version never showed up. Is that the missing feature?

I'm not seeing any lists of third-person shooters that have superior gunplay/shooting feedback to MP3.
So yeah.
So yeah.
FFVI, iOS version. They killed this game. Seriously, why don't make a simple 1:1 port, simply adding pad support, cloud and achievements?
This "new" graphics is worst then the original one, there's no point in doing a remake that looks so bad.
Hey, Square Enix, listen up, here's how you scale a low-res picture.
Let's look at our exhibits, A is from town, B is from battle screen:
Both are native SNES res, 256x224. Hey, that's almost 5 times less pixels than a 1080p screen? How the hell can we make it look good on phones/newfangled monitors?
Well, we could simply upscale the pictures, applying, say, bicubic interpolation:
Doesn't look good, now does it? Tad too blurry if you ask me.
We could also resize the picture with no interpolation:
Better, but this results in ~5x5 pixel blocks. Certain parts of the picture will look too sharp. You're not an garage indie developer, you don't get a pass for those 'oldskool' pixels. Not from most of your customers, at least.
You know what? How about we put that programmable 3D graphics card most of devices currently have. Let's simulate the actual TV screen those games were made for. You know, things like electron gun, luminance, phosphorus, etc. There's loads of implementations out there, but a quick and dirty one gives us:
Much better don't you think?

I think max Payne was an alright game. Nothing amazing though. I wouldn't replay it
I played it with a controller the first time through, without aim assist, because comfy couch, and landing headshots was a bit of pain. The game was exponentially easier with a kb&m.

Lol I also played it like that. Game was hard as hell, I'd die really quick. It wasn't till after I beat the game that I found out apparently I was playing wrong. Apparently youre supposed to get most of your kills in bullet time, I played it like a regular TPS and spent most of my time behind cover. But like I said, I have no intentions of replaying it

Yeah I could imagine MP being a pretty unfun experience without aim assit if using a controller and basically never using bullet time.

Page is up, seems it's the first of more free weekend weekends.

From the store page:
The game features four male romance options and an additional four female romance options which will be released in a separate game version within a few months.
EDIT: willing to bet the name of the new game will be "Nicole (yuri version)"

I would prefer a Yuri version so I guess i'll wait then.
Wolf and Rage play similarly.
TEW is horrible as far as performance goes. And the game's pretty terrible so far (Act 3).
Don't know if they've patched it in yet, but the last time I played there wasn't a save game option. Which is annoying.

I wouldn't mind the iOS port of ff6.
I have already played the snes version at least 7 times and the ps1 ver once. Planning to play the GBA ver soon.
Don't mind playing the iOS vers on steam at all
Also so payday 1 is gonna be free for 24 hrs - is it worth getting it ;o
It's free, yes it is worth grabbing just on principle. Good game anyhow.
...I misread that as "Stumpo Food Holdings" and nearly freaked out. ("The largest distributor of poutine in mainland China!")
Interesting read on Alien:Isolation and the history of horror games in general from the team that made me poop my pantsthe first Amnesia.

I don't really need a tag, but I figured I'd get one to make people jealous. Is it working?
I want to say you can use Steam Mover, but I'm also not sure if it isn't deprecated due to updates to the Steam client.
I...think you can delete everything in your Steam folder but the Steam.exe file and the SteamApps folder (which has all your games), and move them to where you want and then just run Steam.exe to reinstall Steam.
I think.
I still don't understand how Amnesia can scare anyone. It's just a dumbed-down COCDCOE
Yeah, we're really, really close to Crimefest.
