SolidSnakesBandana posted:On the flip side Dungeon Siege 3 is the only Obsidian game I haven't played because the previous Steam thread said not to bother with it. I think I might be the only one who likes DS3. I mean yes it's not really playing to obsidian's strengths and is certainly their weakest game. But man it might be the only arpg that's ever held my interest. I've tried torchlight, marvel heroes, path of exile and they've all bored the crap out of me. Maybe I just don't like all that clicking.

Memnaelar posted:My fiancee and I tried to love Dungeon Siege 3 but just couldn't do it. Love the mechanics and gameplay, but how the hell did an Obsidian game end up with characters and writing THAT BAD? It is the most generic of fantasy settings with a few gears tossed in because Steampunk. The gameplay, while really competent, just couldn't get me past my own loathing for my characters, much less the boring crap they were killing. Yeah I kind of ignored the story and just focused on the pretty particle effects.

Crappy Jack posted:Nope. None of them. Closest we've got is some guy figuring out how to copy the .ini from the 360 version over to the PC, but then you're not able to use powers or menus. Which, again, means that all Bioware had to do was copy over the .ini and maybe port the menus over, but like you said, they just didn't want to do that. Last pc bioware game to have native controller support was Jade Empire, if I recall. Even then, it was janky as hell with mouse and keyboard being way better. lordfrikk posted:Why must you remind me of the worst thing I've watched in the last few years? Really I think Dexter is worse than any of the Mass Effects, writing wise. Dragon Age 2 is pretty borderline though. That show is just dire.

But that's exactly how it is. I even knew beforehand it's going to be terrible but I felt like I wanted to watch it all just so I can reprimand everyone extremely harshly not to even start or end with the fourth or fifth season.

Lance Streetman posted:Not a huge fan of that, gotta be honest. The D-pad is essential to playing a lot of games (like platformers), and having an analog stick as a replacement is kinda counter-intuitive. Can't you use the big touch pads as a D-pad? I though the touchpads were supposed to be a happy medium between sticks and d-pads.

Doing a minimal power run of Dishonored would be excruciating. I can't imagine it, the jump power pretty clearly influenced level and quest design.

Gort posted:What DLC is worth it? I'm only really interested in more story and not in extra weapons/cars/clothes. The Top Dog Gold Pack, The Red Envelope Pack, The High Roller Pack, Top Dog Silver Pack are what you want to avoid. Everything else (even the outfits) I would argue are worth it.

Ddraig posted:Question... how good is the latest RE4 port? I loving love that game, and want to play it again, but on the PC is the only way to go as I don't have any other options. I know the initial port years ago was loving awful, but how does the new one fare? I hear it had a few issues to begin with... are those still present or what? The 60fps mode can be a little wonky purely because the game was not designed around moving that fast. But otherwise, it is excellent. You get an achievement for securing the ballistics.  Sober posted:So how is Dead Rising 3? Sorta tempted to grab it but not sure if I'll like it. Is it goofy as poo poo like DR2 was? That's what I loved about the second game, because it took place the most colourful Vegas-esque hotel/casino/mall location and everything got goofy. DR3 looks kinda grimdark despite the fact you still make combo weapons and smash through zombies though. It's just as goofy as the last game.

Doctor Spaceman posted:AC3 has a boring protagonist and an even more boring setting. Ezio is flamboyant and base-jumps off the Colosseum and Hagia Sophia, Connor speaks in a monotone and parkours through a set of drab, interchangeable colonial towns. I just finished AC3 a little while ago and ugh I kind of regretted spending so much time on it. Didn't bother to finish the King George DLC either.

Dominic White posted:In DMC3 he's basically the fifth Ninja Turtle, complete with life-defining love of pizza. And there's a bit where you fight a topless vampire lady who, when defeated, turns into a magical guitar that shoots electric bats. So he's edgy in the same way sonic is edgy, essentially.

Head Hit Keyboard posted:Sonic Adventure is internally fixed at 640x480 and has no widescreen support. It defaults to 1280x720 windowed, in which the game is letterboxed to 800x600 with an ugly purple background filling the rest of the area. There's no controller icons so you have to guess what buttons do what. The config app has Open Your Heart blaring in the background like some lovely keygen or something. Oh and in the Steam version, the config app doesn't even work. There's a fix... that involves cracking open the registry. Combine all this with audio bugs like random blaring noises in the second part of Twinkle Park and general wonkiness carrying over from older versions but made worse by the sheer amount of porting the game has been through. It looks like they fixed the config app in this update though.
