it makes me sad when people dislike DA:O combat
It requires a lot of micromanaging (positioning, buffs and debuffs & healing mainly) even when you fiddle enough with the Tactics settings (which I found mostly useless tbh). I didn't mind it but most people said it was like managing an MMO party in a turn based game. It's usually those guys who love DA2's combat which essentially amounted to 1-RRRRRRRRRR-2-RRRRRRRRRR-3-RRRRRRRRRRRR-4-RRRRRRR -Repeat until everything is dead.
Oh man, a very kind
P) gaffer gifted me this game, I need to install it sometime soon to see what it's all about.CornBurrito

Is Oblivion worth the money? People have bitched about the game's level scaling and a whole host of other problems.
Any details on the combat systems in those games?
Why Divinity II specfically?
That's a pretty good summary of what I dislike about DAO's combat system. If they wanted to do a combat system dependent on micromanaging they should have made it turn based. Instead they gave a pause button which breaks the flow of combat.
I haven't played DA2 so I can't say anything about that combat system.
The witcher 2.
Combat is a lot more active than the first game. And overall it's pretty much better in every way.

Edge's final set of levels can go die in a fire. I'm on 45 from the normal set and the timing just feels bullshit with the controls.
Yes, I got past that part!!!!

Is the PC version of Dead Space 2 any good? I think I remember bad things about Dead Space 1 (like horrible controls with mouse, framerate locked to 30fps, etc... I don't remember exactly). It's pretty tempting at 5
Dead Space series on pc is excellent.
turn off vsync in the games, and enable it via d3doverrider or in your video card control panel and you'll get 60fps with no screen tearing.
native support for xbox360 pad, too.

Tomorrow is the "official" launch of the games on Steam. The fourth one is also being added.

No love for Nation Red? is great game
I picked it up during the Christmas sale and thought it was pretty great as a score attack game. The perks are really fun.

This is more of a Steam/Valve support question:
So last week GMG had 40k Space Marine for $12 or something like that, I gave my cousin (don't own CC currently but can paypal anyone except steam for some reason) the link to the GMG deal through steam chat, he then in a random act of stupidity bought the game through steam for $50 and gifted it to me instead of buying from GMG and giving me the CD key so I can add it, unfortunately I accepted the gift in my library before I realized what has he done.
I messaged steam Wednesday the 4th about removing the game form my library and giving it back to my cousin so he can ask for a refund and I've yet gotten a reply besides the automated "we have received your question, a representative will respond to you shortly" which for some reason did not arrive until last Sunday.
Is this normal waiting time for steam support ? or did I just put the issue under the wrong category (Steam Trading/In-Game Items > Technical Issues) ?

Nice. I still haven't finished my current, long running playthrough. I think I'm getting close to the end, though. Oddly enough my most successful character is named "Fucked.".

Is it worth buying a 360 controller, or does DS3 + PS3 controller do everything a 360 controller could do?
Any way I can widen the FOV in the first Dead Space? I know it's so narrow to enhance the tension but I'm getting slightly motion sick
Also I have a problem with the 360 pad, the analogs have a pretty large dead zone (for my taste at least), any way to solve this issue?

I did the same. I was coming up with all kinds of silly yet tough sounding names but then Flimsy Steve shows them all up.

If you're lazy, like I am, buy a 360 controller. Plug in and play, works beautifully.

Risen is highly recommended if you like the Elders Scrolls series.
Risen is smaller than Bethesdas games but it's much better designed.
Pretty much.
The only issue I've had is with Dead Rising 2. Some games detect a PS3/MotionInJoy pad as a wireless 360 pad, and since DR2 doesn't work properly with a wireless 360 pad (never fixed by Capcom, afaik), I can't use my PS3 pad with it. I believe that Assassin's Creed 1 has the same issue, but I haven't tried it myself. Aside from that, I've never had a problem using it with any game that natively supports the 360 pad. I would rather use a 360 pad, since the button prompts would be correct and I consider it the superior pad, but I don't want one bad enough to drop $40.

No point in buying a 360 controller if you've got a DS3. You can even edit trigger deadzones in motionjoy.
Pretty much. I hated stuffing around with driver programs and stuff like MotionJoy to get my PS3 controller working on PC. I picked up a second hand Xbox 360 controller for 20bucks here in Australia acouple years ago, i'd imagine it would be cheaper in the US.
Plug and play simple, and with matching on screen Xbox controller button prompts.

It got fixed at some point, I played it a bit over Thanksgiving break.
MotionInJoy has always been plug n' play for me. I just open the menu and click 'enable'. Shit's easy yo.
Wow, I'll have to check that out. I'm not allergic to KB/M controls but DR only feels right with a pad.
games that require you to hold r2/l2 triggers a ton bother my fingers after a while on a ps3 controller. i have to take breaks cause of this, prolly gonna pick up a 360 controller someday. i've never had this problem with a 360 controller with their triggers, not sure if it's just me though.
anyways a wired 360 controller is $27.99 now.

Too much fucking around for my taste lol (i'm serious). My Xbox 360 pad is always plugged in and just works without having to click enable on any menu.
Plus as i said you get the on screen button prompts in games that actually match your Xbox controller instead of the Cirlcle, X, Square, Triangle, and R/L buttons.
Real triggers help with this. They make using L2/R2 for shooting much more bearable.
I need to order a new set since my goddamn cat thought they were toys and must have hidden them somewhere just to be a dick.

I find the 360 pad to be approximately 1 million times better for the genres I use a pad for on PC.
I just wish I could plug the 360 pad into my PS3 too.

There is an attachment for that.
Name of the product is in that picture. There are acouple other adapters aswell if you google. (we probaly need another thread to discuss this stuff)

I just googled it and why is their homepage look like a Geocities website?
Seems sketchy as fuck.

Absolutely, Some Fighting games I can play with a pad but I prefer a Fight Stick

Divinity 2 Dragon knight saga.
Make sure to play the normal campaign first, and make sure you buy the DKS edition.
Combat gets a bit repetitive near the end (as you end up killing thousands (well several hundreds) of enemies in the last bit) but I enjoyed the story and the overall atmosphere a lot.
It also has a really nice color scheme, not witcher 1 godlike color scheme , but better than dragon age, much better.
It also shows that gamebryo games don't have to be buggy, ugly shitty ugly ugly buggy ugly ugly buggy (did I say buggy?) games and that the animations don't have to suck.
Do yourself a favor and don't read reviews of it, they all spoil the plot, all of them.
I went in completely blank and enjoyed it more because of it.
There are afew Youtube vids of it in action. Seems to work on Killzone 2 and Battlefield.

lawl at anyone buying real triggers or whatever for the DS3, you realize you can map the 360 triggers to L1/R1?
Yes, but if I'm playing a sandbox game like Just Cause 2 or GTAIV, I would then have to use L1/R1 for driving as well which doesn't feel right to me.

They're just a tad cheaper than buying another controller if those are your only options.
Were you able to get aa to work? The game has terrible Maggie's and I wasn't able to get any thing on my ati card to work.

I played some of the Risen demo. Not liking the combat at present. Seems a bit clunky at times, but I may get the hang of it. Will wait for a lower price.
All who go in don't come out. Gaben has a knife collection and he needs to use it. It's been too long since a bloodletting. Too long. Much, much too long.
