Why is the newest Devil May Cry trying to appeal to an audience of male teenagers when really it should try to appeal to nerds in their late 20s like me who've played the predecessors?

I can't stand the supposed hipness of the protagonist. This is terrible and now I feel old. Thanks a lot ninja theory! Also, Alex Garland has worked on the story? Has he gone mentally insane sometime after releasing Sunshine?

I guess I'll slowly make the transition to Paradox games now...

That game is so bad! :(

I installed it on my PS3 because I got it for free with PS+, and I uninstalled it halfway through the intro because the writing was so bad. Not cheesy-funny bad like the older DMC games, either!

To be honest, that side of his personality fades fairly quickly past the first chapter. Some of it is still there throughout the game, but he moves right into his new role.

I'm not saying DMC is a well written game by any stretch of the imagination, but past games in the series weren't well regarded for their stories either.

To add 2013 Dante goes through character development. First he is the rebel but then grows to care about the people around him and finds purpose in the powers he has after seeing just how bad the demons were running the world from behind the shadows.

accidentally ordered 3 of the $1 humble bundle tier instead of 1 because the site was messing up on me and am too lazy to dispute it

dante was purposely written as a meat head but with room for development through out the game, the plot is still horrible but dante's character isn't actually bad in comparison to everything else. Vergil's character fucking suck though.

Hi all, been lurking gaf for over a year, finally signed up. just saying hello. i own too many steam games, but have only played a handful (vita is more suited to my gaming time, even if i love many a pc game). Right now I'm devouring Desktop Dungeons (played the alpha ages ago), and also enjoyed greats like Grimrock (w/graph paper), space chem, FTL. I have about a hundred or so games I really want to play (roguelikes, dungeon crawlers, tower defense, card battle, and tactics games top my lists) when time allows.

I've been trying to get back into pc gaming some, since Wasteland 2 is coming soon and there's a ton of other games I want to play thanks to the oldschool resurgence.

Anyway. Hi.

Apparently this is a common problem, it may have to do with the site update but a lot of people have reported an inability to get keys from there currently. I know that doesn't help any, but at least you're not alone, right?
 
So. How big is the chance that tomorrow the Store 6.0 will launch?

Try client, worked for me.
Altought error for me was different ("The game you have redeemed does not allow you to request additional keys.").

I think I got game while it was free, but still got key despite dev saying we won't be getting keys.

Hi, welcome to SteamGAF! Have fun and
prepare to make your wallet cry, if such thing exists. Also Salsa Romulan (is that still a thing? Haven't seen JaseC in a while.)

It's finally happened to me

The worst bit is when I was replaying it yesterday,
I kept thinking: Is it this one? This one? Maybe this one?
I still can't believe how good that scene is. It completely changed the way I looked at those things in that game from then on. I also like how the game doesn't abuse that resource, and applies it only when needed. Such an incredible atmosphere.

Have you tried the Desura client or only the webpage?

Sometimes the key generation works only in the client for whatever reason

Try client, worked for me.
Altought error for me was different ("The game you have redeemed does not allow you to request additional keys.").

I think I got game while it was free, but still got key despite dev saying we won't be getting keys.

Thanks guys, downloaded the client, logged in and suddenly it appeared on the webclient. What a weird bug.

edit: no wait, it wasn't for reprisal after all lmao

edit2: ok, actually accessing my collection through the client worked, all's well. Thanks again.

Yeah. F.E.A.R. is rock solid.
It still looks amazing at full res with everything on max, and it's actually scary.

Okay, fuck it.
I've futzed around with this thing for half an hour now and it still does fuck all.
Fuck you blops2, fuck you Activision, you should be ashamed of yourself, releasing such a broken ass lazy port.

Sorry for your issues, but Blops 2 is one of the best ports in recent memory. They actually have a legit team dedicated to the PC and have continued to support it over the years.

Anyone else try Minimum?

Played during the closed beta (only Titan mode was in when I played, and only two maps, the factory and that outdoor map in a ravine with the side caverns where you chase down creeps), and I enjoyed it when I could get into a full match. Been holding off on buying it because I need to save cash and it'll probably go lower during a sale eventually, but reading your impressions is making me tempted to pull the trigger now, even though I shouldn't. >.>

That's not what it looks like from where I'm sitting, sadly.
And some of the support stuff on the steam community is "... are you shitting me?"
Like the fact that some of the fixes are "oh yeah, make sure you have less than 50 people in your friends list" or "oh yeah remove all your non-standard hardware and kill all the drivers and then maybe it might work" is just mindboggling.

Don't forget the most-important fix.

Ok, now this talk made me curious.
This scary part you guys said, is this in the beginning, middle or the end of the game?
I really want to click that Spoiler tag now!

The part we were discussing is... second half of the game.
There's a lot more scary stuff along the way, though.
You should go in cold, really, to get the full experience.

No, please don't read it! I can't say anything, but I promise it's worth it. It deserves to be experienced unspoiled.

Let's not talk about this particular scene any further. It's seriously worth going in blind.

Losing the ability to jump/aim at the same time is terrible, not to mention menu management. I've tried playing Human Rev with a pad, but it was more work/time than was necessary.

HUH?

You can move and shoot at the same time very easily...that's part of why it's better

Well I got it for a key (<$2.50) after searching for a bit so you can get for pretty cheap right if you want it. I have no idea about the size of the community or the word of mouth so I'm kinda worried this will end up as yet another dead multiplayer game.

edit: another thing I forgot about the game, it makes register an account to play. So yea, if that annoys you, beware.

there's two modbots?

okay now i'm scared

Got some bad news then,
there's more than that.
