Preordered FFXIII, certainly won't do the same for next Squeenix games.

The 720p lock is crap, but the game looks great using Gedesato.
I really want them to fix the fluctuating frame rate.

Yes, it possibly one of the most overlooked games on Steam.

Yes, you can see more on the top and bottom. A lower aspect ratio shouldn't be increasing horizontal FOV.

I still think that playing letterboxed makes Evil Within much much much more better experience but each to his own

Edit: I'm glad I now have the Blood games. I rented the original a bunch of times as a kid. I wonder if covering every possible inch of a level with dynamite will still cause it to crash.

Evil Within using Cinema Mode off from the options menu:
WOAHHHHHHHHHHHHH WTF YOU CAN PLAY IT FULL SCREEN NOW!?! thats a game changer right there folks, should've been there day one.

The exploration and environments become more involved and puzzle-ish as you get further in.
You could argue that Bethesda just shot themselves in the foot with this update.
The investigations have zero actual gameplay involved in them. You watch a real time cinema, walk to the highlighted object, watch a slightly modified real time cinema, walk to the highlighted object, repeat until "solved".
As for everything else, compared to Arkham City, the combat is a slight bit better/different, the external world traversal is worse, the internal/dungeon level design is about on par, the predator sections are better/more challenging, the bosses are a different style but about on par.
The environmental art, especially outside, is much, much worse than AC. Inside buildings, the art is better than outside, but not anywhere near as detailed as AC. The character designs are much more grounded in proportions (which most people seem to prefer) but I found them less interesting/bombastic than Rocksteady's designs.
The story is more coherent than AC, but it's not exactly super memorable.
I barely do any of the Riddler stuff in these games, so I couldn't tell you how that compares.
I never experienced any bad bugs in my playthrough, though that doesn't mean they aren't there.
Overall, if you enjoyed AC, you will probably find AO to be a decent side-story game. If you're one of those people that puts a premium on their game playing time, I would skip it.

nonsense...they pushed a patch
...to add confirm instead of immediate exit upon pressing ESC. So yeah, not looking great.

They fixed the music in FFVII? So does it have proper PS1 music now and not garbage MIDIs?
You monster.
Yeah the patch that made a great feature, worse. Now when someone walks in and I'm playing FFXIII I've to confirm to quit instead of auto closing and sparing my shame.
No, they did not.
They announced they will push the patch. A week ago. No patch since.

Yes, more than a year ago now... only to release FF8 a couple of months later with MIDI music also. It took Squeenix 13 months to patch FF7 and FF8 hasn't quite hit that age mark yet, so there's still some hope!

...really? wow that's bad. Been away from my computer for a week, assumed it actually pushed. Damn guys.
No fucks given.
Haven't they? *fires up game and hits Escape, game shuts down*
Oh thank christ for that. Let's be honest there's a few more pressing matters than someone accidentally quitting they game. Even at my pedestrian pace I reckon I'll finish it before any patch gets released if at all.
Squeenix hasn't even been working on a patch since the game launched. The public build is newer than the dev build.
90% off and its still $3.90? I heard the game was bad. Not worth $3.90
They should give you 90<your currency here> to play it, and even then, it wouldn't really be worth it.
Holy shit Sanitarium is now on Steam, 40% off, and they added Steam achievements
Bravo. That's how you re-release an old game.
Skyrim was available for free. It was less a price glitch and more a coupon code glitch.

I was just thinking the other day if someone was gonna release Sanitarium on Steam...insta buy!
Only get Demonicon if you are familiar with DSA / Black Eye. I played hundreds of hours of the Pen&Paper and so got some enjoyment out of Demonicon, but it is a really bad RPG in all aspects.
I don't think many people if any have actually received their copy yet, though.
Just doing the waiting game. They might not send the keys in the end.
You can still order it for $3 (you need Aussie address and phone number, so just use Google's), but you may not get a key: many people are still waiting and I wouldn't be surprised if orders are cancelled.
Well it was $8 code, so you could've ordered two copies for free or 3 for $1.
I wonder if they end up canceling orders, considering they haven't given keys.
Yes, but that doesn't really make it a pricing error. The $3 price is intentional; the code working for new users was not.

Twitter says the Daily for Humble is OOTP15 (50% off). Doesn't look like the store updated yet.
edit : same price on Steam this week for the World Series.
What bomb did groupees drop? I can get on at all, site is not loading, an account page too
edited: the only I can think of is Evil Withing in their Halloween bundle (><)
I like esc->quit, and people that don't like it are wrong, not budging on this one.

Oh man, I used to play the hell out of this game back in the day. I think it was on like 3 CDs...
One of the best adventures ever imo. I love this game. Puzzles are good but not too difficult. The only major flaw is the voice acting, but the gameplay and story are rock solid.
Something something reads my posts.
And yeah, it's 3 CDs. Still have my original discs.
It was damn scary.
I doubt it. The GOG version is published by XS Games whereas the Steam version is published by DotEmu.

Greenlight bundle went live.

Huh. Surprised it wasn't on Steam already.
Great game though.
the site was OK then, it's not loading now! so it must be the bomb in that other bundle, or doujin one is on already!

1,5 GB patch for The Evil Within downloading now.
Seems like I can finally play it!

Loads fine here.
They fucked with their site again, added the chat and activity bullshit to the front page... and the per bundle chats are now all tabs for whatever bundle you check.
