What's the consensus on AOE3? I've only played the first one a long time ago. Is this one more sim than RTS. Hint: I am hoping it is.

Hey guys: The BG&E port sucks. Chill.

Quoted for truth. The voices are out of sync.

Ok well I don't feel too bad about it now I guess....

So will it really hinder my gaming experience? I am kind of a PC gamer that bitches about The Walking Dead's Ep 2's little jerks and jitters on characters here and there.

I have a decent rig, that plays the latest blockbuster games (Skyrims, BF3s , Batman A City's etc.) pretty well. Is BG&E gonna be a problem? is it that bad? I really wanna play this damn game!

Also, would we see it for >$5 on Steam again this week?

Too many questions, I know...

 

[Grinchy]

I want to play STALKER but I'm afraid of how much modding/patching I need to do before it gets playable... heard so much negativity about it, but at the same time, people are praising the shit out of it because of its atmosphere.

I just installed the "complete" mod for it and it played fine to me. Forcing myself to play through some of the boredom, now that's a different issue.

 

[Salsa]

seems like it would have been amazing with a third person, top down, or isometric perspective.

You need to play it to understand how that wouldnt work at all

 

[Chairmanchuck]

Thanks to honorless for gifting the Magicka - The Stars are left DLC!!!!!!!!!!!!!


THANKS!!!!!!!~~~~~

 

[Koroviev]

Lots. Last time I played it, it didn't support standard PC resolutions and distorted the ever-loving hell out of the image; Controller support is spotty; weird texture and framrate issue abound. I'm sure others will fill in the stuff I'm missing here.

It's a product of an era where ports were far, far worse than what we even consider a bare-bones sloppy port today.

Okay, thanks for the heads-up. Definitely won't bother with it.

 

[Party Popper]

Found a gameplay video on youtube. Looks like it could be pretty cool, but maybe I'll just pass, really can't stand the first person perspective, seems like it would have been amazing with a third person, top down, or isometric perspective.

I really enjoyed the game. You should give it a try, jumping long distances in first person while youre running was kinda "new" for me when I played it and Ioved it!

Would love answers to all of these as-well :lol

 

[goober]

I'm playing Age of Empires Online; you guys are telling me that AoE3 is nothing like it?

 

[MegaKungFuRadio]

Mega-sigh, looks like I'll have to restart New Vegas...

...if/when I ever get around to it.

Yeah the complete mod is an actual installer, easy as pie, download and use the installer.

 

[MrTeachwell]

I saw some before but I can't find any now, are there any lists of all the games that have been on sale so far (including their prices?)

My gtx 260 i7 920 runs the latest games pretty well and BGE runs horribly. Once you get your watercraft vehicle your framerate will dip down into the 20'2/teens. I don't think it supports true widescreen either, and instead letterboxes.

Just check the official community page for the Steam Sale. Each day they posted the sales.

 

[Buggy Loop]

Ys origin vs Oath, which should i get?

 

[Nabs]

Mirror's Edge is pretty damn good. I'm glad it won.

It's playable with both KB/M and Controller. Pick any one and have fun.

 

[Snkfanatic]

Tempted to bite on Dear Esther and finally pick up Amnesia

 

[Abomination]

Hard to find I think

Is it an official mod? Can you link it so I don't have to go through a lot of viruses and other crap :3? So it shouldn't be harder than a regular 1. Install game 2. Install mod 3. Play game, right?

 

[Tess3ract]

Dead Space isn't really horror, it's a thriller

 

[Stumpokapow]

Hey guys: The BG&E port sucks. Chill.

It's also frequently on sale for comparably low prices and, ya know, they gave it away with cheese strings a while ago.

But BG&E would have been a great candidate for a makeover like Rune or Psychonauts where the team goes back, does a few hours work fixing up some stuff, and adds Steamworks features.

 

[Salsa]

You could find a similar build and completion rate on a savefile at least. I know its not the same at all but yeah. There probable has to be a trainer to create a character by now right? Try that

Well like I said earlier, the voices are completely out of sync with the characters (especially if your CPU has more than one core), and the delay is kind of huge too (a good 4-5 seconds in my case). So yeah, it breaks the immersion sort of.
There are suggested fixes on the forums, but they don't work for everyone.

 

[SteveWinwood]

The Walking Dead sucks so far because I can't invert y axis.

 

[MrTeachwell]

awesome, thanks been eyeing off the SSF4:AE DLC, but not sure if I need the steam version of SSF4... most probably.

 

[Yoshichan]

Ys origin vs Oath, which should i get?

Everyone is recommending Oath but I've started on Origin and I'm currently loving the shit out of it. People say it's better to start with Oath though!

 

[Levyne]

Ooh, Mirror's Edge.. Played the demo on 350 but never got around to buying it

 

[Pancakes]

Ys origin vs Oath, which should i get?

People were saying that Origin is the better version a couple pages back. I personally just bought both so I can't say.

I think you mean trainer.

EDIT: oh shit ninja'd

 

[Tess3ract]

Alright so can someone describe the gameplay of Mirror's Edge? Is there a lot of fighting, or is it mostly about avoiding stuff and getting away?

The art style kind of remind me of the game Out of this World from decades ago, but I imagine the gameplay is totally different. But basically, for someone who hates FPSes and most other types of first person games, is there any chance of liking this?

Yes, it's first person but it's only because it makes it more immersive.

 

[bigace33]

Dead Space isn't really horror, it's a thriller

Thrillers can be horrifying as well. See Seven, Saw 1, Silence of the Lambs. Dead Space has some horror elements. I jumped quite a bit. :^D

 

[Koroviev]

Same. Origin gets rolling faster.

Too much effort! The internet led me to believe all I had to do was extract the save game with Modio and rename it.

I'd rather spend 30 hours to catch up to where I was!

Or just finish it on 360 and forget I bought it on Steam :X

I always do that and I played it without issues so im sure it was there somewhere?

Start again and play differently?

 

[The Wizard]

But BG&E would have been a great candidate for a makeover like Rune or Psychonauts where the team goes back, does a few hours work fixing up some stuff, and adds Steamworks features.

I wonder why they don't just do a port of the HD version that came out on consoles recently.

 

[Akey]

Not going to link but slickdeals forums has a nice write up with all previous and current sales going on to show past sales.

 

[biocat]

Ys origin vs Oath, which should i get?

Oath! It's a remake of Ys III which was kind of the Adventure of Link of early Ys games. They improved the game a lot.

 

[Salsa]

Autocorrect ugh

 

[Shahadan]

Same. Origin gets rolling faster.

Well except for the 15 minutes anime right at the start and the horrible unskippable dialogue during the game!

Also, don't pick Hugo, he's a douche.

And Oath has better music, better characters, and a town.

 

[Tess3ract]

Thrillers can be horrifying as well. See Seven, Saw 1, Silence of the Lambs. Dead Space has some horror elements. I jumped quite a bit. :^D

There's a difference. Horror is scary, Thrillers are tense.

 

[Katoki]

The only memory of Mirror's Edge I have is of me running up stairs away from people with guns. Needless to say I didn't know what I was doing and died a lot.

I don't even remember if it was a demo.

 

[SteveWinwood]

I always do that will I played it without issues so im sure it was there somewhere?

That sentence doesn't make sense.

It's not in the options and there are a thousand posts on their forums complaining about it a quick google search shows.

Also if you try and use a third party application like x padder to invert it overrides it :/

 

[Big-E]

Is Age of Empires III worth it? Is the campaign good?

 

[Snuggles]

Let's just write one to reduce the amount of oil/tinderboxes instead.

I'd totally play a no lantern mode.

 

[somato]

Yeah, they offered me DAO, Mirrors Edge, Dead Space, or Spore. Before that They had a thing where you could get free Recycle bank points and put them to the purchase of Mirrors Edge which made it free. It's been $4.99 forever on Origin as well.

Whaa... I see it as $19.99 on Origin right now. The DLC is $4.99, are you sure you're not getting them confused?

 

[Dipswitch]

So does F.E.A.R 2 & 3 support the 360 controller? Hell, is F.E.A.R 3 good period?

 

[Koroviev]

Well except for the 15 minutes anime right at the start and the horrible unskippable dialogue during the game!

Also, don't pick Hugo, he's a douche.

It's over fast enough. And I like Hugo

looks like you have to use a 3rd party program to invert the mouse.

Origins if you like nonstop action RPG & dungeon crawling goodness.

Oath in Felghana if you prefer an action RPG in the vein of Zelda with multiple dungeons and a central town.

But really, both games are excellent. You can't go wrong.
