Man, barring the save thing, they're really doing everything right for pc ports. Makin' other studios look bad.

1- backlog :) i just finished Hamilton Great Adventure (thanks IGN prime XO), 7 hr. and


= Gold in all levels...

I love puzzle game like this(indie puzzle games) but this is just boring... ¿my recommendation?..play other like Blocks That Matter

Because the game is mediocre, are some bad decisions in the game design that made it frustrating, not because the game is hard is because is annoying, like the fuckin bird, the flying enemies, animations deaths, etc. Also are bugs in timing gameplay and has zero charisma in his world and characters, feel like a cheap phone game with good graphics...

4/10

The art doesn't really appeal to my refined tastes, but the preview I read on shacknews last month had me intrigued.

Big Picture Mode might go into testing soon. The latest update for CS:GO included the following:

- Added COUCH and DESKTOP play distance options that control hud_scaling and viewmodel_fov convars.

Neat, has a sort of Metroidvania-y/adventure platformer vibe to it. I'm there.

Vessel also has a Metroid-vania style level design...

...players can expect level design reminiscent of Metroidvania titles...

Yup. So there.

Having played the 360 version twice I'm okay with them not implementing save anywhere. The game was really designed with checkpoint save system in mind.

Why keep playing if it is that boring? Just play something else instead of forcing yourself through a game you don't even like...

Wait. You bothered to get gold on every level in a game you didn't like? I would have moved on long ago and probably not even finished it (especially if I got it free like you did).

To each his own, but I really like Hamilton's Great Adventure. I (Though I also really like Blocks that Matter.) I will agree that controlling the bird can be annoying at times, but the puzzles are good fun.

gonna have to wholeheartedly disagree with you here. i'm not quite halfway through the game yet, but the characters and story just ooze charm and getting golds on all the stages up to this point has been rewarding and super fun.

did you try playing with a controller? you can tell right away that the bird was designed around one.

[MNC]

It just makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside reading alan wake's store page. "by request of fans, no hud and fov options". Its just so right when a developer listens :D

Be warned, I seem to recall that even people who liked the game (Stallion Free for instance?) said that the ending levels get very frustrating due to some timing elements. I suspect this is what Relax.MX ran into, and you have not yet.

You may end up still disagreeing, but I'm just saying I think I read something specific about the end part not being as good.

I want to buy Alan Wake but there's no add to cart option anywhere. What gives ?

I put up the Alan Wake PC thread, 10 hours to go (I will have no time, argh!).

This is absolutely true. I liked the game, but I forced myself to 100% it and I ended very burned with some of the bonus levels. I don't consider it a 4/10 game by any means, more like a 7/10.

The levels weren't that hard, but the sprint function doesn't work very well and there were points were I'd die constantly in the same spot because I did not start running facing a certain direction (yeah, really). The game also crashed a lot of times, and that added to the frustation. In the end, I enjoyed uninstalling it, but overall I liked it.

What annoyed you about it? They made a lot of nice changes to the Steam version. It controls much better with a mouse, and there are a lot of little touches like how it starts you at the point of your last hydra rather than always starting you at the beginning of the level.

[JordanKZ]

So errr, Alan Wake is out in 9 hours and you still can't buy it on the UK store. Any particular reasoning behind this?

Can't buy it at the US store either. For some reason Remedy weren't able to do pre-purchases or pre-loads for AW on Steam.

I finished the game but did not try to get gold in all levels as I was just not enjoying it that much . I have to say I agree with you on everything besides the world and characters lacking charisma and the score, I think a 6/10 it's more adequate.

So true. I promised myself to not buy any games full price this year, I broke my promise because of Eden and I don't regret it at all. I'm having so much fun. Once this game has a sale I'm considering gifting it to some friends.

Looks to be like they jumped the gun and withdrew saying an actual percent discount :|

edit: they also seem to be really adamant about referring to their 40% darkness 2 deal as 50%, unless us yanks are missing out to their .co.uk deals.

Pretty much yeah. The mechanics never really feel speed friendly so when you hit the levels that demand speed it can be quite frustrating. That's only two or so of the main levels though.

If the GMG version is Steam activated, I may buy it even though I beat the game on the 360.

I never played the two DLC chapters and a getting them for free with a better version of the game for $20 sounds pretty great.

Avernum series was added to the registry.

Avernum's predecessor, the Exile series games were probably the games that really got me into PC gaming in the first place. Exile 2 and 3 in particular. Very old school style RPGs. They were diamonds in the rough and easily the best games on the half-dozen or so CDs in this shareware compilation I had.

I'm still having an odd problem with Sonic Generations. Basically, I don't get any logos or UI, and no hud at all durning gameplay. When I press pause, I can hear the menu sounds, but can't see anything. I tried re installing, which made it work once, but never again.

Anyone had this issue?

That probably means you're trying to force AA through your drivers. Reset CCC and try again.
