Ma'am. I don't usually correct "dude", or "bro" for that matter (it's more awkward to be called "sis"), but I draw the line at sir

HOMM VI looks identical to HOMM V...I wonder if the AI takes almost a minute for each faction to takes its turn like it did in V. M&M CoH is pretty fun (made by Capybara, of Critter Crunch fame), although it does get a little samey after a while. The soundtrack for CoH is a remix of the themes from HOMM V, so it's a nice nostalgia trip.
Never change Steam, never change.

And that reminds me that it's been a long time since I last watched that show.
The product page states half off and this is reflected in the cart.
I got it during the summer sale or something like that. Put 30 hours into it in like a week =S
Good stuff.

I got critter crunch earlier in the sale and it seems ok, but COH really takes the concept and does something with it.
I'm not far in critter crunch, though.

CS:Go is flip-flopping between 25% off to 50% off and back to 25% again.
Edit: Now it's 50% again.

Anyone? Throw in BioShock. Even though everyone pretty much has it.

Thank you Miss
.And I keep flip-flopping on whether or not to actually get it! I mean, hell, I voted for it. But the disappointment of the Flash sales, coupled with that 50%...

One of the games on my wishlist. Definitely will be picking it up now.

Sell me on Clash of Heroes.
The last M&M game I enjoyed was Heroes III.

clash of heroes is awesome but I don't even know what might and magic is.
Nope. Think more like Puzzle Quest.
Clash of Heroes is nothing like HOMM. At it's core, it's a match-3 style puzzler game with some unique mechanics (it's substantial more complex than Bejeweled obviously).
It's set in the same universe as M&M, and chronologically, it's a prequel to HOMM V in terms of timeline. The characters you get are younger versions of the heroes from HOMM V.
HOMM is an SRPG. M&M CoH is like Puzzle Quest.

Yup, more of a puzzler, but still totally great. Give the demo a try if you're still curious
It's a puzzle/rpg game and the battles are like Critter Crunch. It has some mundane exploration system.

I'm sorry if this has already been answered but which HOMM on Steam doesn't suck?
ThoseDeafMutes

I would never say 5 or 6 suck, but none of them are great compared to II/III.

Ah ok. I just heard bad things about 5 in the past and never heard anything about 6.
I've only played a couple hours of CoH, but my first impression is that I prefer Critter Crunch's scaled back approach. I don't really like the story stuff or having to navigate the map, I just want straight up puzzles. Plus I also strongly prefer CC's art. I need to spend more time with CoH, though.

Oh god DMC 3 has got to be the worst port i have ever seen. Man people really weren't kidding. It starts windowed and it looks washed out,low option and has screen tearing. What a shame.
The one thing that really annoys me about the modern chapters of long-running strategy franchises, whether it be HOMM, XCOM, or CIV, is that they devote way too much time and effort to fancy effects and animations. Drives me crazy when turns take three times as long due to animations. Latest offender is XCOM, and the "encounter" cut scene that plays every single time you find a group of enemies.
Anyways, I thought 5 was fine for the most part, but it didn't seem well optimized at the time. (which is probably not an issue for modern machines). Sort of like Shogun 2 today. I'm not sure if 5 supports widescreen. The core game is fine, minus my pet peeves about modern strategy games in general.

Is the DLC worth getting?

It's $7 on GMG today. Sale for $9.99 plus their 30% off coupon code.
(I picked it up on Nirolak's repeated recommendation for my style of game. =P)

Oh, and is it recommended to play Hotline Miami with a controller or keyboard/mouse?
Battles are basically the same but Heroes games include turn based logistics, resource gathering and town management as well. Much slower paced games, but if you loved KB it's a safe bet you'll like this too.
kbm imho . I've never found twin stick style shooting to be as accurate, but ymmv.
Sure. It's a very similar style of game, athough it uses square grids instead of hex grid. And it takes itself more seriously than King's Bounty's tongue-in-cheek approach.
I don't think it's the GOTY/Ultimate version with all the DLC, though, for folks looking for that

I'll defer to nicoga3000's recommendation in the indie game development thread. RangerX had good things to say too.
It's been used for a few well-known indie games (Hotline Miami, Cook Serve Delicious!, the original Spelunky) so it can be a plenty capable platform in the right hands. I think it gets a bit of a bad rap due to a lot of the games being made by absolute beginners.

Has Dead Rising 2 been a daily/flash? Also, I hate the fact that it's region-restricted :/ I should beg someone to help me get it.
Thanks for the heads up!
Thanks for the heads up! Got one
Holy shit. This'll probably be fixed quickly, so move it if you like to move it, move it
