The criticisms are sadly valid, but I found it to be a relaxing game. Wonder if Part 2 will address the criticisms...
Yes. Done so a few times when I restarted games.

Lies. I'm an older PnC player and backer, I loved BA.

Lol I have every achievement from previously owned games except for Loadout. Time to dig back into that.
It's a bummer they aren't doing Castlevania MOF stuff.

I think the Loadout achievements are bugged on Playfire and no-one can earn them. So don't bother
I did not know Loadout got achievements.
Not really though. Hell, if anything, they did more than they promised.
Wait for the inevitable 5$ on the Summer sale.
It will be even cheaper in a few months.
Best story and use of characters out of all 3 games.
Best voice acting out of all 3 games.
Best music out of any Batman media
Awesome cinematics
If you can get past the rather frequent bugs and the copy-pasted gameplay from AC then it's a steal at that price

Batman is so angry pretty much the entire game and it is amazing. That alone is worth 10$. The rest is all sweet sweet gravy.
Remember those things in AC that you hate? It's all better now in AO.

What is there to hate in AC? I honestly don't get the whole love one of the series, shit on the others.
Or AA has aged poorly. Played that shit last week and it was still insanely dope.
It got achievements like a week or two ago.
anyone has thoughts on this?
I thought AO was a step down from AC, but if you liked one I can't really imagine having a highly differing opinion about the other. They're so similar (or at least I perceive that they are.)
Unless being so familiar ends up being a big negative for you (general 'you'). Which is understandable.

What the hell?
Are you saying Soul Sacrifice is a crappy game? Cause we aren't going to be friends if that's your take on it. >_<
(1) The controls are very different. It's a bit hard to get used to because of the... deliberateness... that a lot of it carries with it. Once you jump, you jump, there's no fine tuning, and it's kind of slow and weighty... so I can see where people might have trouble adjusting at first.
(2) It is a difficult game to get into... but once you do and you get a better feel for the controls and how the gameplay works, it's great. The problem for a lot of people is that it's a very "old school" game. And while gamers apparently took issue with the fact that you couldn't "die" in PoP2008 [lies, everytime you're saved, it's basically a death and return to the last checkpoint], a good number of gamers are used to being coddled by the principles of "today's" game design. Regenerating health, frequent checkpoints, etc.
No. It's worth more than that if you're a Batman fan. It's better than Arkham City.
Hahaha. Yes, that game's worth $10 for sure. I paid $20 and didn't play it right away -- yet I'm not even mad, because the game is great!
Batman is ALWAYS angry. Which is why he's always the best.
The catwoman segments?
The overload of collectibles?
I don't actively hate them, but I know they can get annoying.

Finished Castlevania LoS MoF HD.
It was pretty alright, if somewhat uneven. Will probably try the hardcore difficulty at some point, not sure about the boss rush mode. It was more of a "Metroidvania" than what my early impressions had led me to believe. Didn't really dig the music overall, enjoyed LoS1 themes a lot more.
It's a little strange, generally speaking I like act 3 the best as far as gameplay goes (
), but the rooms, level structure and some of the set piece moments are the worst. Worst offenders being the

also, how is Trevor able to double jump?
falling bell section, clock tower, long diving sections, and those couple boss battles involving quick time events (even though you don't have to be very quick at all). And the very last bit where Trevor is falling towards Dracula and has to dodge those red magic balls or whatever, just awful.

Not yet at least
I know I'm gonna end up regretting playing the game now, but I just want to get it out of the way since it's so bland.

My support ticket to sort out this GMG/Playfire/Steam linking thing took over a week as well but they did ultimately resolve it. Got about $9 GMG credit out of it. Then their tracking promptly stopped working for me for over a month until a couple of days ago when it again added quite a few missing achievements and the related credit. I'm not even sure if I shoulder bother to contact their support over this issue again given how frequently reward achievements cycle around. No way to keep up with it all so I'm just hoping it starts working properly on it's own.

I tried playing Butcher Simulator yesterday, but there wasn't enough meat to the gameplay to keep me hooked.

I don't know. AC felt kind of messy to me. I wasn't a fan of the pacing, the story or the side content (that I managed to do). AO just felt better in every category to me.
I will be replaying AC soon. I want to see if maybe something has clicked since playing AO.
That was offal.
I know that veal bro.

Humble Bundle needs to fix their Games You Own page.
Why do I have to be assaulted with DRM free downloads when I just want to get to the bottom of the page for steam keys.

Yeah Arkham Origins is cool, I've been playing it and I haven't found anything that I don't like about it yet, it's not perfect but every encounter so far has been really fun with great action/cinematic sequence to go with it, it feels like it has a better flow to it than the previous games. I also like this batman a lot more.
If you paid $50 for Masters of the World GS3, you can now pay another $15 for a modding add-on.
"The modding tool add-on lets players create and play contexts and scenarios (mods), as well as share them with other users."
The game still has shitty DRM on top of Steam.
How nice of them to let you pay for modding.

I didn't have any other problems with the game expect the last one, but that was only because I had played 22 hours of Rogue Legacy just before trying Volgarr for the first time and I just couldn't handle the Mega Driveish platforming after being all Super Nintendo for such a long time. I plan to beat the game eventually though.
So I just learned about this Playfire rewards thing, and now I'm sad because I missed a bunch of them from achievements I already had
And remember to play in classic mode
Excellent, enjoy!A very generous person has gifted me a copy of The Secret of Monkey Island: Special Edition, now I can get to know what's it all about

It really is

Oh rock of ages, do not crumble, love is breathing still. Oh lady moon shine down, a little people magic if you will.
Such a bummer you can't play in classic mode with voice-acting enabled. I want to hear Dominic Armato talk about Threepwood's rubber chicken in 16 glorious bits. Or, well, Curse's artstyle. But ye can't have it all, apparently.
Glad they fixed that in the SE for LeChuck's Revenge. The redone graphics where a whole lot better as well.

I quite like the Monday Bundle. Lots of good, nonbundled before games.
Also, anyone have impressions of Space Engineers?
