That sounds really shoddy. Thankfully the superior experience comes out next month.

But grief
I prefer to play without tank controls and the other scheme works fine for me

You can also make encounters trivial by lowering the actual difficulty setting. Does that mean that option shouldn't exist? I think the reason it looks the way it does is because they were not given a budget to re-work all player animations to accommodate the new control scheme. They felt it was still an option worth including despite that fiscal restraint. I think they made the right choice.
You should be able to buy it directly from their website (or any third party site): http://www.footballmanager.com/buy
EA holds a lot of the licenses and have blocked the sales of FM in Germany.

So if the encounters are balanced around having bad controls, and then those encounters get trivialized when you have good controls, is the problem the controls or the encounter design?
Because Germany get to enjoy actual success in football and don't have to rely on fantasy simulations.
Also as mentioned above, EA own some licences so it's blocked.

I don't care that the option there, but it's not comparable to difficulty at all. Since it can make even hard mode far easier than it should, along with doing a knife only run. They wouldn't have made new animations for modern controls even with a budget. You really can't do much more than what they did with fixed camera angles.

FYI, GMG seems to be the cheapest currently for Shadow Warrior 2 at £26.79
They need to give it steeper discounts than it's received for a start.
I'm intrigued by it but it's still just too expensive for my taste

Sometimes I'm in the mood for some Faygo, what can I say?
Yeah, plus the fact the game seems still plagued by bugs and glitches and it seems it's just average, not even good in a junky way like Deadly Premonition. It's strange, I mean, if it sold pretty much nothing, you would try to push it instead of letting it on the store for full price doing nothing.

Humble halloween bundle time?
We'll see.
Maybe today I will start Kentucky Route Zero, I pretty much cleaned all the games I have on my hdd, I miss Kentucky, Soul Axiom and Elliot Quest.
Finished my 52 Games a year challenge. For some reason thought it was 56 tho, so i ended up doing more than was nessecary. Feels good.

It's similar to a driving game, which is modeled for the controls of a car. I wouldn't expect to be able to turn around instantly in a racing game. The game isn't made for it, the courses aren't made for it.
In fact I'm having a hard time thinking of a game or genre that isn't designed around its control scheme. Whether or not you think the controls are bad have nothing to do with it - changing those controls can have an effect on the effectiveness of the level and enemy design.
I fought with the game for a few hours (with all those damn fixes that don't work) and gave up. I can't rewatch the opening cutscene anymore.

Glad I got it for $1 that one GOG sale where it was an error price.
What helped for me was the 4GB RAM exe-patch, didn't have much trouble after that and even 100%ed it.
But yeah, the game's an undeniable technical mess, which is such a shame, because it's so good if it works.
I played it on PS3, getting the platinum with no issue. But the game is very junky and the PC version should be very bugged sadly.
I've fought with it on and off for months and months and no matter what fix I try it still it won't work for me. Absolutely the worst PC port I've ever encountered.
Emulation of the 360 version in the distant future looks like the best option if I ever want to play it on PC.

Congratulations!
It's too bad that you can't start building up credit for the next year.
I'm on track to hit 52 games by the end of the year, assuming that I don't suddenly get super busy.

A lot of games. Would be shocked if I'd reach half the figure. Congrats on the fun.
I'm probably biased in this argument because I can't wrap my head around people unable or unwilling to adapt to tank controls.
I never said that those options shouldn't be available to help players who aren't interested in playing the game as it was originally intended, struggle with the difficulty, or struggle with the controls.
Exactly, it was thrown together last minute on a non-existent budget to curtail those that were unwilling or unable to adopt to these controls. When Resident Evil 4 was released, the Steam forums were flooded with people complaining about the controls, completely ignoring the arguments with how the game was designed and balanced. Just cheaply placate those people before those same people bomb Steam reviews or other aggregate sites.
None of that precludes that the controls break the encounter design and look and play completely out of place with the game.
Neither. The controls aren't bad the encounters are challenging and well designed, Resident Evil is considered to be one of the best games of all time.

Actually the levels in Resident Evil 6 doesn't feel like they're designed with its controls scheme in mind. The amount of things you can do with the control scheme is hampered by the abundance of cramped and linear environments in the campaign. This is the main issue fans of the RE6 have with the game.

I personally don't find tank controls fun, especially in a game with obfuscating camera angles and lighting, punishing early combat, and so much backtracking your first time through. Even though the game is designed around it, I find it a chore. I'm probably in the minority, and I understand the purist aspect, which is why I didn't bother buying the new version with the optional easy mode control scheme. Either play it like you're supposed to or don't- but I'm at the point where really who cares?
For me the original RE's were rarely about gameplay, but atmosphere and story. The remaster fucking oozes atmosphere, no doubt about that. Will easier movement ruin that? Maybe.

It's short, boring and far from horror. But i hope you had fun.
Congrats!
I don't think I'll make it to 104 this year. unless I suddenly start playing short games only (and with Dragon Quest VII and Umineko started, and Phoenix Wright 6 and Steins;Gate in the immediate queue that's not happening). Still, 80+ is a decent number.

Very interesting. I never did get around to RE6.
I would agree there's definitely games out there where the levels don't match the controls. They're a frustrating bunch.
Beardblade kickstarter is up. Game looks reeeeeally neat, the $90,000 goal may seem worrisome but in the KS page it states that they're already 25% complete with the game, so I'd say it's doable.
Here are some cool gifs:
None of these are either Ace Attorney or Kirby so I vote to invalidate your challenge.
(I'm on my way to finish mine, sitting at 41 games now, should be able to finish the 52 one by late December)

Is there a good "mod guide" for Oblivion? I feel like running a fresh start and surely by 2016 new stuff came out.

Resident Evil 6's biggest flaw is indeed inconsistency more than anything. Feels like they made the levels first, and then the gameplay. The gameplay really shines, mercs is proof of that. But the campaigns never give it as much breathing room as it should. Though there is still fun to be had even solo. To this day had RE6 been one campaign that was say 15 hours and finely tuned. I think the reception would have been much different. Outside anyone still upset at the time that they were still going for action.
It's really interesting that RE1 can be considered a good example of a game clearly designed around its own control system, while in RE6 it feels like the controls and levels come from two different planets. Mercenaries mode in RE6 is rad though.
I agree. I really wish the Revelations sub-series would build on the RE6 system and make it right.
In a fixed camera environment tank controls are absolutely the best option for me. Knowing that pressing up is always move forward in the direction your facing stops me getting disorientated on a camera angle change. It was weird trying the camera relative option in REmake just for the hell of it. While the greater manoeuvrability could break certain encounters it also increases the amount of times a camera change would send me running into the arms of a zombie because all of a sudden I'm holding a completely wrong feeling direction to move forward.

i am wondering,why Yandere dev is working alone in this project?
isn't better to get help from other devs?
imagine he was working with marvelous or some team,they will help him to get the game better.
i know that will require money,but working alone for 30 month is really hard.

uh, apparently the ending cutscene of the steam release of quantum break has the free FRAPS watermark on it.
could they not distribute the original one or something?
edit: no spoilers in image btw

I'm more confused why they would use free fraps, like there are other alternatives so you don't have a watermark

I think that's already been the case for the Win Store version. Why fix shit like this at all for a new release amirite
I have a question regarding Kentucky Route Zero:
so people wrote each episode is around 2-3 hours, but I just played the first and it was like 30 minutes. Did I miss something? Are choices in the game for which you can visit a totally different location or what? Because I started in the gas station, restored the power, found the home with the girl asking me to tune her TV, found the mine with the cousin of this girl, found the laboratory but it was empty, I found also a church, a museum and a place with two men and a plane, than I went back to the home with the girl and the episode ended.
