Only bought BoI: Wrath of the Lamb DLC so far for €0.74.

Feels good man.

[wilflare]

For anyone that has played Rayman Origins, does it feel like it is running in slow motion? Not bad framerate or anything. Just that he isn't moving as fast as he should. I remember the console demo, his sprint seemed much faster. Maybe it has just been a while though.

 

[Boss Doggie]

what would you want them for?

Was reading that apparently it may have missing sprites, but then again that guy probably is running with poor computer.

Are you checking the framerate with FRAPS? Because I'm getting 30 fps and it does indeed feel like slow-motion.

I was streaming for my friend and I was getting 30. I'll check it out without streaming which will boost my FPS tomorrow or so.

edit: downloading demo on PSN now to check what the console feels like

Yeah I voted for the one I didn't own.

On the idea of one of the games being more deserving than the others for a vote. The only time that might be relevant if the vote choice were games from a multi billion publisher Vs starving indie dev. Although, if you actually gave much of a shit in the first place then you would have already given money to the indie dev by purchasing their game at full price on day one.

 

[Yaska]

Weird, my copy of Rayman: O is capped at 60 fps. So you guys getting 30 fps might be reason for "slowdowns"?

 

[Corky]

Weird, my copy of Rayman: O is capped at 60 fps.

Maybe the game physics are related to the framerate and having say 120 fps would double the game speed.

 

[Koroviev]

Weird, my copy of Rayman: O is capped at 60 fps.

Well, I'm not going to bother with it at 30 fps. I really need to get to bed, though, so I guess I'll work on this more in the morning.

 

[Bruiserk]

I hope not. Although my buddy said he doesn't want to watch a whole lot because of spoilers, I'd still like the option to stream and have a normal experience.

 

[eyeless]

it can't possibly be true that rayman origins doesn't have gamepad support, right..?

 

[Koroviev]

It has gamepad support. That's not the issue.

 

[Bruiserk]

Alright I just tested it out.

While at 30 FPS, running along side the console version, Rayman was definitely slower. Doing multiple actions took longer at 30 FPS. I stopped streaming and reached 60 FPS and everything was back to normal.

 

[Arksy]

Still looking for meridian4 pack aduits! Let me know if the pack is worth it. Never really heard of anything in the pack but looking for quality adventure games with engaging stories.

 

[Persona7]

Already have Shuggy but I'm going to wait and see if Analogue is a daily or flash.

Awesome!

 

[JaseC]

It does, but I had to manually bind the actions to the controller via the options menu -- the game didn't switch to them automatically.

 

[Dusk Golem]

I'm not that reserved. I need restraint, lol.

You think you're bad?

I'm a fucking madhouse.

Spoiler

And this doesn't even include the several copies of games I bought for friends to play with. The bright side is I actually have the time and money right now to go on a gaming marathon, and been playing a through my backlog recently..

 

[AwesomeSauce]

Double-dipped on Alan Wake. Already own it on 360, but the DLC and American Nightmare included for 10$ was too good to pass.

Also just bought the Binding of Issac pack. Didn't realize it was from the SMB guys so I bought it based on that alone.

 

[Krappadizzle]

Pleasantly surprised by the lighting and shadowing in Alan Wake, and how well the game runs maxed out on my 5770.

Less pleasantly surprised by the hilariously bad facial animation and texture work but the game seems quite fun so far. Fantastic atmosphere.

Yeah, that lip sync was bad. Even Remedy said they'd like to patch it when it was first release for 360. VA was good, but lip syncing was off for sure.

 

[Deleted member 10571]

So do these new profile achievement thingies do something at all? Like, can you win stuff if you complete them? This sale doesn't seem to feature any tasks at all, seems off for a Steam sale :/

 

[wilflare]

I am interested! Also I would need some "regional help"

lemme know soon

 

[Shiggy]

Go and buy PixelJunk Eden! It's worth more than the €1.80!

You made a good choice. The PC version of Alan Wake is much better than the 360 version (I own both also). Plus, the DLC is good, as is American Nightmare.

 

[Zyphos]

Got the Penumbra pack. Loved Amnesia, hopefully it'll match up to it.

 

[Twinduct]

Yay Bioshock 2. 1 for 5! Honeslty thought metro or fear would win.

Knowing Valve, you'll find out what they're for in about 6 months from now.

Quoting, as that's pretty good info for someone I'm sure.

I'm Australian and the $2.50 isn't worth the extra hassle.

Yeah, I've been on the fence since the sales started. Anyone care to drop some input on the Penumbra series?

Edit: ...aaand bought!

Amnesia is their crown jewel but the Penumbra games are the foundation, great games as well with top notch sound design/atmosphere.

Times like this that it sucks being on a Mac and unable to take advantage of a lot of these sales (i don't want to run bootcamp).

 

[PaulLFC]

My brother has a badge for the Treasure Hunt a couple of sales ago, but I don't seem to have one even though I completed quite a few of the tasks. Strange.

 

[1138]

Does Alan Wake have 360 pc controller support?

 

[Liamario]

Damn you Steam!! Damn you and your intellectual property cheapening!!!!!

Yes, just tried it out myself.

I think you only get a badge if you got a hat from it.

Which makes it your own fault.

Not redeemable on steam. The post is just saying all the DLC packs that Get Games have are the same ones in the Steam Collection of Anno 2070.

ah ok, well i snatched the collectors edition when it was still 24.99 so im happy

Well, looks like I found my first purchase of the summer sale.

 

[JaseC]

They're purely decorative at this stage.

 

[Majima Everywhere System]

Its Janky as hell. If you can get around that its a great play. The second does considerably better removing said jank.

I much more enjoyed Witcher 1 over 2 and I played them both after Witcher 2s release. It's not even a "for its time" thing.
