so judging from gameplay on youtube, the game seems pretty dullish. why did everyone go crazy over the fact that this is coming to PC

  • Successful petition
  • More Japanese games on PC
  • Down with arbitrary exclusives
  • Great game
  • Popular genre with the PC demographic (SRPG)
  • More potential ports from Sega

So how's Soul Reaver on PC? I've only played on PSX way back when, but dropped it for some reason and never got back to it (because my PSX broke).

it's kind of awful in the way that ps1 era action adventure games were

like controlling the camera with the shoulder buttons and stuff

but base game is still pretty good, i still like it a lot, box pushing puzzles notwithstanding

Yeah. I'm not really feeling this Halloween sale, fortunately. I have enough games and not enough money. Saving my £10 of card money for the Winter sale.

In his defense...the current 'layout' is shit.

"Here are 500+ things that are discounted. Good luck!"

Probably doesn't bother me as much because my usual approach to sales is typically to go to the search page and do a search for all games, sorted by price, then run down the list looking for good discounts or titles that sound interesting. So this isn't really a big change for me. I also figured they're not doing anything wtih the front page because Halloween's a smaller sale. If they do this for the Winter Sale, I'll get out my torch and pitchfork and join the riot.

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.
Not sure if it's been mentioned yet, but it looks like NBA 2K15 is having a free weekend.

GAF - sell me on this game. I've not played the PS3 version and don't even really know what it's about.
Well, this is how I sold it to Fragamemnon:
It has a very unique combat system. You basically have points each turn you can spend on each unit (tanks cost more points to use than foot soldiers), which you then proceed to move in a TPS-like fashion for a limited distance (and potentially under counter fire).

The twist: you can spend points on the same unit multiple times a turn if you want to, but with diminishing returns.

The twist (mk2): you can use the same points to execute "orders", which are either battle-wide or single-unit effects (buffs/debuffs/etc.).

Outside of battles, in the campaign, you have research and unit development somewhat akin to XCOM base gameplay.

Even heartless people (shame on you, really) should absolutely play it if they enjoy strategy games, simply because it plays so differently from everything else out there. It has some balance issues, but if you don't go out of your way to exploit them that doesn't matter much -- since you can enjoy Civ:BE it really shouldn't be an issue for you ;)

Let me disable VSync then we'll be golden.
Disabling Vsync is trivial at the driver level. (I don't know why you would want to though)

We'll save you a spot.

I think it's easier just to look at my wishlist and check that way.
