this weekly kalypso bundle looks really uninteresting to me. its like the same game repackaged 8 different ways. i dont even want to spend a dollar on it lol

 

[RavenValor95]

What's the general consensus on Remember Me?

At that price it's tempting, and the screenshots look amazing: is gameplay any good?

Remember Me is kinda forgettable.

Gameplay really isn't that great, it's got some interesting ideas like a build your own combo lab, but the combat just doesn't feel good overall, it's the freeflowing combat from Arkham Asylum but less free-flow-y, if that makes sense.
And there are also enemies that require you to use a super special awesome attack to destroy them, but those attacks have cool downs of like 30s and the game likes to throw multiple enemies at you that require the same super special awesome attack, so it can get pretty dull unless you enjoy cartwheeling away from enemies for extended periods of time.

[wagamer]

As I understand it, you have the best version, and there is no reason for you to get any other.

Renaissance and Resurrection were made first, but were very poorly received for a variety of reasons. Reincarnation is an updated version of both that corrects most of the major complaints players had about the originals.

Thanks, sounds logical since Reincarnation seems to be the most expensive one.

Damn this Capcom sale, I own so many of these on consoles but kinda want them on pc too. RE4 is one I really want and don't have, but I think I'm waiting for a winter sale and possible -75% drop.

I doubt they really wanted to put their best weekly material up against HB 12, they'd just cannibalize sales from themselves. 12 is probably good enough to tide most people over for a while. I also bought the current mobile bundle, I've wanted to play the new Kingdom Rush for a while, and the all DLC included Humble version is a really good deal.

I want to return to it at some point as the art direction and setting are so striking but the combat is really bad. It doesn't have any kind of traditional combo system, you basically make your own by creating various combinations of moves. Ie, you hit x twice and then end with y to recover health. The big problem with this is that different types of moves have different speeds. Makes the combat feel really slow, clunky and just terrible to play. Writing isn't abysmal but it's not great either and certainly not enough to keep you interested in spite of the combat. There are some more puzzle like elements where you basically alter the memories of various characters that are the most intriguing moments in the game but they seem quite rare. Also pretty interesting narratively as what you're doing has some really nasty moral implications that the game is fully aware of. Those moments just feel out of touch with the rest of the game.

You might enjoy it more, I just found the combat so tedious that it made it hard to finish. Top-notch art direction though and even graphically it has some impressive moments. Would have never expected such a visually interesting game from a new studio like that.

2nd attempt at getting ending A and got there with only 4 deaths, all in the last level.

I'll add my voice to those who said this game is great. Had a really good time. At first I thought I wouldn't be able to finish, it took me hours to finish the 1st levels. Now I beat the whole game in 1 hour. Just a little practice and learning patterns.

Also the music is awesome.

How do you like my new avatar, fellow SteamGAF people? It's a stupid old photo, but I kinda like it, also use it on Twitter etc. Lord Zetta was getting a little old.

I associate people with their avatars, so its throwing me off a bit. Otherwise, it's actually pretty nice.

If I hadn't just played Fable a couple years ago I would probably pick up the remaster.

To be frank, that is a game you want to play only once per decade.

Fable is a series wherein once in a blue moon I get an urge to play one of them, then I immediately remember that there are better RPG's available and play those instead.

I don't think there's any game that has comparable social elements that set Fable apart. It's never been a very complicated, stat heavy rpg series. I play Fable to marry 5 different men and women in different cities and sacrifice them to a blood god so I can grow horns and use terrify emotes on towns people

Bad combat was what I was afraid of. I guess I'll skip it.

 

[Honey Bunny]

I think I'm right in saying that buying RE Revelations and its DLC pack separately is cheaper than buying the bundle. Capcpom why.

this made me laugh a bit having recently waited 4 months or so myself

Cook, Serve, Delicious! is a great game,randomly started playing it on a whim and only pulled myself away from it now 4 hours later because its like 2 am and I really need to get some sleep

I never thought that it could take that long to get activated. Mine took only a few days.

Cook, Serve, Delicious! is pretty awesome. I've taken a break from it before I could get too addicted, lol.

My inventory is set to Friends only but I keep getting random level 0 friend invites on Steam today. What gives?

Are you selling anything on the market? They probably find your profile from there and add you.

Also, been wanting Remember Me at a good price, which $5 is enough for me to bite. The Capcom Action Pack seems like a good deal too though which includes RM

Recommendations?

It's just so cheap on Nuuvem right now.

My decision making when deciding to buy a cheap game usually goes something like this:

• Does it increase my Steam game count?

If the answer to any of the above questions is "No" then I don't buy it otherwise I do.

All these sales just come in a huge barrage, man. There's the humble bundle, Fear collection from bundle stars, Gog has a bunch of classics on sale, Steam has the Capcom pack, Gamersgate is sending out 20% off coupons + having sales, and Nuuvem has the whole of GTA on sale. Oh, and GMG has Typing of the Dead + packs.

since you're the resident roguelike expert, how do you feel about Papers, Please being referred to as a roguelike?

 

[Vibranium]

Man stop linking to those garbage posts here.

RE6 is a competent tps especially if you compare it to what we got last gen and what people praise as being the best games ever. The problem is the uneven campaign and some other bad design decisions and a dumb story, but the story has always been pretty dumb but more subtle in the past.

I find it more fun than RE5, Binary Domain, etc and it has enough content and fun sections especially playing on coop, it also controls better than both of those games.

REmake had a decent story (aside from characters splitting up), it was Code Veronica that really messed up shit by revealing Wesker was alive and a powered-up supervillain. He should have died in the first game and stayed as a guy interested in the money.

Also, the Outbreak games were everything RE should be. You got to explore more of Raccoon City as civilians and fought an infected Lion in a creepy Zoo area. I wish The Last of Us had enemy infected animals....

Castle of Illusion is a charming little 2.5D platformer. Very easy in comparison to the original Mega Drive version(on Hard mode, that is). For that amount of change, it's very much worth it.
