I agree the fact that you sample everyone In the story modes is a nice touch. It can't be that hard to do a story and they wouldn't have to make every character playable in it. Poisons arcade mode is her fighting in a tournament to make a band. Yeah capcom needs to do better than that.

With that said I can understand why fans want their character back. Its unfair in a sense to see your main get cut. Though I do agree its a necessary evil. You can't introduce new characters and make things interesting if you're always keeping the same people.

Less definitely can be more and I'm excited to see how Xrd turns out.

Well, in terms of a fighting game with a new graphics engine, fans ask for some unrealistic rosters to be had right off the bat. That's where I was getting with the later part of that post. I like a big roster, but I feel like new iterations of fighting games need to work to that number with expansions. I would gladly pay 15 bucks for 5 new characters every year or so with tweaks and costumes and what not.

That's definitely not a bad idea and what we are seeing with killer instinct and other fighters that are F2P. It's just for that content would the average gamer be on board. They account for a lot of the sales. Marvel vs Capcom is a huge seller because of that.

I think I'm almost done with Valiant Hearts, I'm up to Chapter 4 now. Really loving the game EXCEPT for 1 little thing(chapter 3 spoilers):

Whats with the 2 cop out deaths? now they can't die because then its just annoying(and bad writing imo) to have the pretend to die and then later on actually die.

Brother got his account hijacked, in the process of getting it back now.

Anyone know if Steam Wallet cards enough proof for getting the account back?

And just so I can tell him what to expect, is it possible for him to get any stolen items back, or will they be gone for good?

They should restore everything with the amount of proof. Steam wallet codes should work as well as any game keys he remembers or has lying around.

I still remember the day I got Bad Ratted.

All because of this man.

Same here. I thought I might have been spared by not drawing attention to the fact that I didn't already own it, but I couldn't escape the 24 cent Bad Rats sale. The moment I saw Man Puncher post, and I'm paraphrasing here "Everyone on my friend's list, you're all fucked" I knew my time was up.

Edit: Found the post: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=125956352&postcount=18436
I was close.

Whatever happened to Man Puncher anyway? I haven't seen him around these parts lately.

Ok, thanks for the info! Pretty frustrating to spend the last bit of my weekend fixing his mistake, but glad to hear that everything will probably be sorted out.

It seem like I have another copy of Murdered: Soul Suspect to give away. But I'm not sure if it has been redeemed yet or not. Who has that game on their wishlist and one to be my test subject?

First one to quote, gets it. Please add me on Steam if you haven't.

Dude, you are scaring me with all the stuff you've been giving away lately.
I don't want murdered. I want you to have a bigger wishlist though with some cheaper games besides all the new titles...

so what is the best way to transfer your steam library seamlessly if you're planning on reinstalling your os? also does it mess up any mods?

We all knew it was happening, Murdered dropping price quickly, but it makes me sad as it isn't bad, it's like an interactive film or visual novel and pretty enjoyable for its niche.
 
I haven't played the DLC (I was kind of disgusted with the main game by the time I was done, not to mention it was on the 360 so I had no reason to go back to it) so the enemy and boss design being kind of crappy in the DLC is the definition of "not surprising" to me.

Good news: they've shown they can be consistent.
Bad news: they've shown they can be consistent at copy/pasting or creating aggressively mediocre bosses.

EDIT: First post of a new page, yikes.

You've stated clearly my current sentiment with the game. I'm not saying it was a bad game, I entered it enjoying every bit. But slowly over the progress I made in the game I began to dislike it. I'm not sure exactly what it was about the game just that overall I finished it not wanting to go back, no interest in the DLC, but a growing interest in demon's souls as I've never played it and from what I've seen and read it looks like a great game.

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.
I just saw that Gamersgate has The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing II for 50% off ($7.50)

I feel like that's a good enough discount that I can still feel good about buying the game. After that whole fiasco with the first game's DLC never being discounted, I really just didn't want to pay full price out of principle. The weird part is that I absolutely loved the first game and had it not been for the devs being greedy as hell I would have preordered this and played it ages ago.

By the way, I'm planning on playing this during this year's Extra Life marathon.

is it just me or do minus gifs load like shit, among other popular image hosts

Minus is supposed to be for sharing or transfering high quality images, while Imgur compresses images a lot fo make them load faster. Minus doesn't work that well for gifs!
