I know this isn't the Van Helsing thread but just got a quick question which I am sure someone can answer.

If I want to play co-op with a friend in Van Helsing, do we need to use Online Character? We have got into a game together with the non online only character mode... if we both quit after a few hours and then we join a game again would we be in the same location? Ie, does it save locally for both of us?

Hope this makes senses to someone, co-op confuses me sometimes.

So, of the game's I've played so far:

Runner 2 -- 2-2.5 hours so far: At first I thought it was a good deal easier than Runner 1, even if you skip the checkpoints, but then by the middle of world two half the keyboard has actions assigned to it. Definitely going to come back to this when I have a controller plugged in, as it is clearly made for controllers.

Yeah, do play it with a controller. It feels really comfortable, and all the actions are easily accessible that way.

It is A LOT easier than Runner 1, indeed. At least on Normal there's nothing that comes close to 1-11, 2-11, 3-9 or 3-11.

And Surgeon Simulator is actually a fun and enjoyable game? That's good to hear (for me, not for my wallet), and now I'm tempted to pick it up next time it gets a bigger discount.

I kinda want to get Dark Souls, but I've already played it for a bit (and I played like half of Demon's Souls) and I've watched friends play, I'm not a huge fan of it but I do like the whole universe and that's the one thing I'd want to experience, getting lost in it...

I think if it was like 4€ I'd get it without a second thoughts.

What do you think gaf? Please don't all just go 'do it' because seriously I don't want to be blindly manipulated you bastards, I want to at least get the impression that I'm making a reasonable thing if I buy it. Is it cheaper anywhere else?

Thank god for that, stopped playing the game after I spent 4 hours on 3-11 (didn't make it past halfway even once).

The game has rekindled my addiction to Lunatic Rave 2 though, so that's definitely a plus. :)

It's a shame, you were so close to finish Runner 1. I suggest watching a playthrough on Youtube if you're struggling with any section; that's what I did for a specific jump I didn't know how to clear.

Once you beat the game it feels extremely rewarding.

just buy it from Amazon.com and use the code: Gooncave for a 15% discount

For some reason the code doesn't work, and for some other reason (or maybe the same one) a weird tax is applied to my basket before check-out. If anyone can get it for me it would be nice, cause yeah at that price I'm totally going for it.

well given the horseshit they do to me on the origin store what you say makes sense

Region Lock.

Not sure what's triggering it though (GFWL is usually one of the culprits but 'm not sure if the first game used it)

EA being EA.

Ultimate Edition is unavailable in a lot of regions.

The code is Gooncave

Try to change your billing address to an US one, choose a state that applies no taxes such as Minnesota, for example. Believe me, that works.

Scribblenauts Unlimited -- 3 hours or so so far: I'm about half-way through and mostly I think this is a better game than the others in the series because of the cool world layout. I don't know what it is, but I'm incapable of playing these games without trying to break them, and break them I have. I've found the game is very gay-friendly and just about anything that calls for a solution which might involve some sort of gendered element can be gender-reversed; a bridal ghost wanted a dream wedding so I gave her a bride and a female pastor and the game had no problem. On the other hand, in another level, giving the priest who wanted relics of the church a Menorah made him very disappointed and angry, so maybe not totally progressive. In general bribes also don't work for solving problems. I wish there was manual camera zoom control so I could crop hilarious screenshots a little better

I can confirm that the game is gay-friendly. I made Medusa fall in love with a siren.

Oh, and I've found a surprising number of puzzles that can be solved with a dead baby. I even put one in a little girl's birthday present.
