How's the newest Wolfenstein game? I'm waiting for a bigger discount on the retail version so I don't have to download all 40 gigs of the game, but just curious about general impressions.

I finished it a couple of days ago and had lots of fun playing it. It's a really linear, but extremely pretty game, good story and characters for an FPS, being able to dual-wield almost all weapons is really satisfying. Imagine a set-piece campaign like CoD single player, but actually fun.
Of course it's not perfect, but had I bought it at full price, I still wouldn't have felt cheated.

That sounds good. I'll be glad to pick it up when I can, then.

Xseed finally gave a release date and price point to The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky. It's coming out on the 29th, and will be $19.99 (though it'll be 15% off for the first week). Also they apparently did a number on the game's code so it now supports widescreen resolutions, among a number of other changes.

For those who haven't been keeping up with this, Trails in the Sky is a turn-based RPG made by Falcom (the Ys guys) that was released way back when, and only just recently got an English release on the PSP. This version is the original PC version, with all the features from the PSP version added in.

Yay! Though now I have to decide between this and Crypt of the Necrodancer. :ohdear:

Does anyone know of any games that feature full, native DualShock 4 support? As in no additional Xinput wrapper necessary, and proper button icons shown in-game? I'm aware that as a DirectInput controller it can be used with just about any game that supports that, but I'm curious to know about any that properly acknowledge it. Octodad, OlliOlli, and Shovel Knight are the only ones I can think of offhand, are there any others?

I remember reading somewhere (so take it with a grain of salt) that the survivors in DR2 OTR have less health than regular DR2. Not sure if that's true, but it wouldn't surprise me.

I guess this is true if you live in a place with really slow internet or bandwidth caps. 30GB doesn't take much time to download even with my modest 15mbit connection.

I'm missing out on a lot of newer games because my download speed lets me download a gig every hour to hour and a half. It sucks.

You could easily hold off on the expansion pack, it adds stuff you don't absolutely need and would appreciate more on a second playthrough.

Five Nights at Freddies looks like an early 90s FMV game, something one would see on the Sega CD. Somehow, the weird look makes the game seem more unsettling. Funny how a silly idea like murderous animatronics manages to be a more successful horror game enemy than the million jump scare games out there.

It might get a black screen if you run it fullscreen through a HDMI cable, the solution is a program to manually override refresh rates.

Oh and it might be so awesome it will make other games you used to think were awesome seem less awesome.

What program is this? I ask because I run stuff now through HDMI and sometimes get random black screens when UAC pops up or watching something on Amazon.

It's a shame the Dead Space 3 thread is in the archives because I have been playing lots of it (see avatar). It is also not on Steam because of EA and is instead on Origin but there rightly is no Origin thread so I have nowhere to talk about my sweet deer head physics object adventures.



I love you deer head, you're my only friend.

Also I unlocked Retro Mode and it's actually sorta incredible looking?





I've been replaying Dead Space 1 and 2 for the past week. Surprisingly, I still enjoy both of them immensely, maybe even more than at launch. Never did get Dead Space 3 due to Origin and other games taking my time. Is it worth getting? Just beat Dead Space 2 today and looking to do a hardcore run.

Yes, absolutely. It's only 20 bucks on Origin. Dead Space 3 is not a horror game by any stretch of the imagination and the writing is garbage (again, see avatar), but it's hilarious garbage and the gameplay is still very fun. It's very separated from the other two in terms of tone.

Ha, I forgot that I already have DS3 thanks to the EA Humble Bundle a while back. DS2 was already silly and had garbage writing for silly action stuff, which is fine. Is the DLC campaign, Awakened, worth getting?

Nope, I detailed updating Blacklist before but the post has vanished. Essentially they give you the unpatched game and to check for updates you launch it. First of all it assumes there aren't any patches so you have to exit out then relaunch to check. It'll hopefully find the first patch, download it and launch the manual installer. There might be a EULA in the installer and you hitting next a few times (been a while) then it installs the patch. Afterwards it immediately launches you into the game and you have to exit and re-launch for it to check for the next patch.

There were ~5 patches for blacklist when I last tried it? Keep in mind with Blacklist it didn't have a main menu and wanted you to go through multiple cinematics (that could thankfully by skipped) and dropped into the tutorial before you could quit. I think it took me two hours to patch it up and then I decided the game really wasn't worth the effort.

This sounds like an annoying process to deal with. Not to mention, this sounds like it would've only been a good idea during the era before Steam when one had to search file planet or whatever for patches.

God drat, it's a real shame that Resident Evil 6 is honestly a contender for the best action game I've ever played, in terms of mechanics, but it's completely wasted on a god awful campaign that blinded everyone to its incredible potential (mercenaries mode).

The "reboot" lite RE7 is gonna double down on the classic survival horror angle and be bad, I'm predicting. I would immediately buy a game that was just a big bundle of new RE6 mercs characters and levels.

Agreed, Mercs mode is too drat fun in RE6 but the campaign was dull and generally a waste of time.

Thanks for this! So I can safely assume Wolfenstein TNO is a good FPS for good dumb action, right? I've been holding off because of the download size but at 16.10, this is pretty cheap.
