Most ports of mobile games are bad. This is beyond bad

Ermmm... paging Stump. We need a review.

 

[Nabs]

So I take it tomorrow is the last day and Sunday the recap day?

I think the recap is usually on a Monday.

 

[Vuze]

D'aww ;_;
Thank you very much FiveElementNinja!

 

[Eusis]

I think the recap is usually on a Monday.

All non-daily/flash deals are noted as ending June 30th. I wouldn't wait once the 29th hits recap or no.

 

[KJ869]

Their community manager was part of that team, but he recently left DF.

That would explain it.

 

[C.Dark.DN]

Will the Mac version of Star Wars Force Unleashed Ultimate Sith Edition for sale at GMG also work for PC, since it's a Steam key?

You're not paying $7.99 are you?
Go with this bundle on newegg Use this 15% off coupon too: EMCPDHF89

They are separate keys if you only wanted Force Unleashed by the way.

 

[GringoSuave89]

D'aww ;_;
Thank you very much FiveElementNinja!

Damn classy move right there

This was all the reason I needed to stay away:

Is Deus Ex HR director's cut worth picking up if I own standard + DLC already?

 

[Succinct Verbosity]

I hope Deadly Premonition goes on sale.

 

[HP_Wuvcraft]

I thought there was a way to add a custom amount of funds Gabens to your Steam Wallet.

Lame.

 

[JaseC]

If you don't particularly care about the boss fights being improved, then no.

 

[Eusis]

Actually in addition to what I said before: the cards look like they're set to vanish on the 30th. So, yeah, I expect recap day to be Sunday this time.

 

[Sajjaja]

The director's commentary is worth it if you really like the game.

 

[MarcoZombieCannon]

There is with enhanced steam. Are you trying to do it through the client or is the option just missing for you?

you know what: Ducktales Remastered is terrible

I bought it for $6 a while ago and just now I remembered like "oh yeah, I have 2 levels left and I abandoned it"

and as I immediatly start thinking of going back to it, I remember that i'll probably have to sit through incredibly annoying "cutscenes" every time im getting to some fun rhythm with the gameplay. It's the most interrupted game i've played in a while and the humor is terrible and the random voice clips during gameplay itself are so annoyingly unnecessary

there's some enjoyment there, but jesus you gotta dig for it

fuck that game

it's even triple-worse now that Shovel Knight is out

The only bad thing I could say about it was that the larger hit-boxes could be a pain sometimes(The last section was more difficult on extreme due to that). Since I grew up with the show, and have nostalgia for it, the cut-scenes were a lot of fun. At least you can skip them from the options menu, and significantly shorten them for the second playthrough.

 

[Tellaerin]

Please don't. Only buy it if it's a cheap +1.

I had to force myself to finish the first tutorial level (on iPad), and I love Deus Ex.
It's horrible.

Most ports of mobile games are bad. This is beyond bad

It's garbage. Don't waste your time.

This was all the reason I needed to stay away:

...okay, consider me convinced. : / (Recoil makes your head snap back? Unless this guy's supposed to be rocking a skull-gun, that makes no sense. Not to mention being enough to give somebody motion sickness. >_<)

 

[Zoned]

Thanks JaseC. I guess I'll pick up Splinter Cell Blacklist then.

I forgot.

I also keep trying to add ES via the client but it never works.

 

[GringoSuave89]

Is Deus Ex HR director's cut worth picking up if I own standard + DLC already?

Depends, how much did you like it?

I loved DX:HR, and I have played it front to back at least 6 times. With the Directors Cut, you get all the dlc seamlessly added to the main story, improved AI, commentary (which is actually great), boss fights with non lethal takedowns, etc etc. I thought it was well worth double dipping.

 

[TriangleMasher]

Hmm is there a point to buying the Deluxe version of Assassin's Creed Brotherhood if you only cared for singleplayer content? I've read somewhere on the Steam forums that the regular edition on Steam already comes with the DLC maps that are advertised in the Deluxe edition because the regular edition is packaged with the Da Vinci DLC, which unlocks the two advertised maps as well.

Just for reference, the two exclusive maps advertised on the Deluxe edition are called Trajan Market and Aqueducts.

Yeah pretty much. Any time a game constantly stops me mid-level to do story/tutorial crap (especially a retro sidescroller) it just kills any kind off "fun buzz" that I have. Stuff like that keeps me from wanting to replay that game and any game that does something similar. Save the chatter for NPCs, bosses, and completing a level. Also didn't help either that that game was released at the same time as Castle of Illusion which did the whole storytelling and remake thing far better and less intrusive.

 

[corrosivefrost]

If you don't particularly care about the boss fights being improved, then no.

Improved my ass. I actually bought DE:HR Director's Cut just cause I want to try the "new improved" versions for myself someday... but until that day and the unlikely chance that I say "wow, y'know what, this is actually better", I call bullshit on that.

People who bitch about those boss fights get lumped in the same category for me as the people who bitch about the Dead Rising save system and timer.

 

[squidyj]

This reminds me. Can I have an invite to the neogaf payday2 group?

http://steamcommunity.com/id/hekk05/

I didn't realize there was such a group though I should have, obviously.

I would appreciate an invite as well

 

[MarcoZombieCannon]

I forgot.

I also keep trying to add ES via the client but it never works.

I got ES standalone to work for a while, but it just doubles up on things if I used the browser version. So like there would be 2 sets of lowest price listings right on top of each other, etc. It was irritating (and quickly out of date, I think?) so I just stick with the extension now.

Edit: I disliked the director's cut of HR for the fact that the new lighting looked off to bad in a lot of the main game areas, and they for the most part removed the gold filter which I actually liked.

 

[Caerith]

Maybe it's set in an alternate universe where you play as Gunther Hermann.

I have to agree with that. I'm playing New Game+ with commentary on this time, and it's great to listen to. I'm even going out of my way to find as many as I can.

I have never played any Deus Ex game. So would you recommend starting with Director's Cut directly?

ugh that's how I feel about Castle of Illusion. I thought it'd be great (nostalgia) but I'm just not enjoying it that much.

I also have Duck Tales on my wishlist but may remove it having now experienced Castle of Illusion >_>

This is true. Ubi incorporated the DLC into the PC version across the board as a sort of apology for its belated release.

Due to all the complaints that the boss fights felt woefully out of place, I just cheesed them with the help of the typhoon upgrade. I don't think a single one lasted more than 10 seconds.

 

[MarcoZombieCannon]

No thats the pistol, real men use the shotty.

Does... does the view snap back to the point where you can see where his arm model fades out/ends? That's just terrible.

These Deus Ex gifs make my head hurt.

why would they even do that zoom in-zoom out screen thing

that's so dumb

I don't know what there is to doubt, even if you don't mind their original forms the DC expanded on the arenas to allow for different skillsets to complete them. It's a pretty undeniable improvement.

Unless you count the Namor knockout glitch, because they fixed that in the DC heh.

 

[Salsa]

This is true. Ubi incorporated the DLC into the PC version across the board as a sort of apology for its belated release.

...but they still sold the deluxe version?

 

[MarcoZombieCannon]

Ubisoft gonna Ewbisoft.

 

[JaseC]

...but they still sold the deluxe version?

The DDE includes a bunch of other fluff, but, yeah, it is disingenuous of Ubi to suggest that the DLC content is only included in said edition.

Ubi plz

Thanks a lot for the fast response though. You just saved me $2.50 :^)

 

[Kaisersalsek]

Um ok... That community deal!

But actually, the purchase of my rocksmith cable and playing with the sound recorder last week actually made me want a music programme

So uh... Vote music! I guess :-\

I had an entirely stealth build. I did the "no unnecessary kills" achievement.
And I managed to complete every one of them. By the way, this was on hard.
I even did Namor without the glitch and with having the ability limiter installed. That was a fucking challenge, but I did it.
Expanding the maps to make it easier for people who chose builds not geared toward combat is just appeasing the complainers, much like DR3 did by removing the timer unless you pick "super hard ultra mode" or whatever. :lol

 

[Helmholtz]

How is Assassins Creed Brotherhood anyway?
The only AC game I played was 2 and I thought it was alright. Is Brotherhood a significant improvement?
I already own the game from way back, just wondering if I should bother with it.

 

[HP_Wuvcraft]

Shovel Knight is gonna make me dig deep into my wallet isn't it?

 

[Chariot]

What the fuck?!
Now software while still no Visual Novoel Conmunity Vote? VALVE!

 

[Miguel81]

IMO DuckTales is a much better platformer, and extreme will give you some old-fashioned NES difficulty.

I have never played any Deus Ex game. So would you recommend starting with Director's Cut directly?

Try giving the original a go sometime. It still has one of the best soundtracks of all time, and some quirky humor that's missing from the new one(mostly due to the style of voice-acting).

Doesn't matter, visual novel category would still lose to Magicka or Terraria or something stupid like that.

 

[Colby]

I accidentally deleted my PM, but thank you to the kind sir/ma'am for Monaco. I've been interested in it for a while. You warm my heart.

Also, once again, Rogue Legacy is amazing. It's consuming my life, though, so watch out for that.

I wouldn't say it's a significant improvement over II, but it does feel slightly improved in gameplay, though it still feels like more of the same. It's also shorter, from what I remember.
