It looks cool, but I'm worried about committing 20 bucks to a game that might suck. There's no real gameplay footage, although I know its early. It looks nice, but also pretty similar to all the bioshock games, which isn't surprising.
Since it looks like its getting funded, I'll just wait until its cheaper and I know if the game is good.
Yeah, its pretty bad. They seem to have a few people making music for them, so with the KS money they can also hire someone to mix things properly hopefully.

Styx Review (Rated it a buy)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cLqa-oy7kNI
But if you don't like my reviews or youtube I can give some pros and cons and also answer any questions you have about the game.
Pros-
Worlds atmosphere
Sound, music and voice work(one or two misses here)
Styx is is a master of his tools not a tools using master. Lots of thought needed here but not as many tools as some other games.
Stealth and assassinations are just plain wicked fun
Cons
Control when dropping down from above
Some jumping issues
Texture work

Ended up going back on my word and re-installing Torchlight 2.
Finished it on Veteran difficulty with a modded class (Elemental Bladedancer?)
Enjoyed it.

Brother its great. One of the hardest not to gush about games I have ever reviewed. It has its problems no doubt. It really does. But the atmosphere, world, and overall stealth and killing gameplay is just fun. Older style fun. Can't remember the last game I tried to force through a level without a save on purpose in some ways its almost masterful in that.
Great to hear, thanks!
Last Door is an adventure game. You go pick things up, and use the things on the things in the scenery to make them do things. You talk to people that want things sometimes and then show them the things. Sometimes you combine the things to do things with the things.
Haven't played the side stories yet because I'm only 3 of 4 episodes in, but the actual episodes I would not describe as walking simulators.

Any chance of Deadpool showing back up on Steam via Disney instead of Activision? I would presume once Activision let the license expire or what ever happened to it, it would revert back to Disney.

Good question but I bet no.
License is theirs but that doesn't mean the game in its' entirety would be, which is why we don't see Wolfenstein 2009 anywhere. They'd need to work out some sort of deal with Activision so it is unlikely to see it reappear.

It's also one of the worst PC ports of the recent history. It's unplayable on lower settings, because lower settings disable destructible environments which are required on some stages.

Deadly Premonition --MB-85E0246C831A4BE2- Taken by PLASTICA-MAN
Caveat emptor.
That sounds bad. Thankfully it's not demanding game.
Shadows is bugged at least on AMD cards.
Still worth $2.5 or whatever I paid for it.
Feeling dat Alien hype. Might have to actually buy a AAA game, and at full price no less! I'm scared.
No chance, no. Rights for the character (which is what reverted) is not the same as rights to the entire game.
I totally would like to see Deadpool back on Steam!
The start is pretty lame/boring, gets exciting about 4-6hrs in (that's about as far as I got last night).
All the rooms seem to be the same which kind of ruined the experience. Bringing up the map pauses the game which ruins the immersion. The alien is bugged at times (will literally walk past you, or ignore you to go kill someone else). The flashback sequence involving Marlow is effin awesome!
Will play some more tonight.

There are like 3 "bad" reviews.... The game has been great, especially if you like stealth/horror games. It seems to have some metroidvania type stuff in there too, but I'm not far enough to have backtracked to places that I would need to as of yet.
These goddamn androids, man...
PLASTICA-MAN

I really don't see how this game can be considered a horror game. Do people still get frightened by those funny despicable looking aliens ? I mean we aren't in the 80's anymore.
MarcoZombieCannon

When you can't gib it to death with a pulse rifle, yeah.
Yep... It's when you decide to un-barricade a door, and suddenly you hear scurrying in the ducts above you and you aren't sure if you're gonna get ganked during the animation, those damnable silent androids with their glowy eyes stalking you... etc.
Scary monsters is not how you build proper tension in a horror game. No one was ever scared of the stupid skinless dogs or giant bats in Silent Hill, but that fog and creepy-ass music though...
Interesting read, it seems I was off on my own estimations of how steam categorizes it's ratings though. Thanks for posting this.
The major problem however, is that Valve will spend the next 2 years just thinking about fixing how the Steam store front functions.
Yeah, I know it's a bad port but I didn't know about the low settings thing, that's crazy!
I'm able to really enjoy it, warts and all, though it would suck for people who can only run low.
PetriP-TNT
Member
It's not all bad, setting it to Low doesn't actually make the game run any better, so you might as well run it on high settings. But it kinda defeats the purpose of having any settings in the first place.
Shut uuuup
The original movies were never really scary because of the alien imo. They were scary because of the concept of being stuck alone on a ship with some unknown thing wondering about. It was more claustrophobic fear than anything else. The syfy atmosphere and the characters were very good as well. At least for the standards back in the 80s. Nowadays that stuff has been done to death. Both horror movies and games have lost all originality. Need innovation.
The GoldSrc engine to this day still performs perfectly when it comes to movement and control. What issues are you having?
PLASTICA-MAN

You are right about Silent Hill. Dunno about Alien Isolation though, I have to try it to judge it. Sadly there is no demo for it.
Yeah and since most games are multiplatformers, games will be hindered by consoles for many years to come.
Both consoles are x86 like PC's, so it's not that devs don't know how to efficiently use it. (or they should know at least).
Of course one option is to offload some processing to GPU.
Assuming that's possible on consoles, can't see why it wouldn't be.

Sorry, I can't resist anymore (two sleepless nights lol) I meant despicable from "to despise".
Typing using mobile also makes you lose concentration even more.
