stop asking for games you aint ever gonna play just to pad your library, wich already includes the better game some people are glad to get and intend to play with that pre-order

If Rayman Origins had come with Rayman Forever instead of bloody Rayman 2 I wouldn't care about the pre-purchase situation in regard to Legends as there'd be no gap to fill!

I would've figured the summer sale cards would've become a bit more expensive by now, but so far, so nothing.

One of these days I'll be able to sell my 10 foils for a tidy profit... although it does hurt a little knowing that I could've paid ~50% less for the set had I waited a little while longer.

What's the point of having Rayman 2 without Rayman Forever and Rayman III? Damn Ubisoft!!!

See, this guy gets it!

Just a heads up anything that seems like it will obviously shoot up in price will be worthless (or maintain the same value) for a long time if not forever. Anything that'll net you something worthwhile will be valuable before you can see it coming, in Steam community market equivalencies, the :weed: emoticon.

I wish the latest humble bundle keys weren't bundled. I have no use for a fourth copy of Metro 2033 but I'd like the other 2 games.

Drat, no Google results for hannakissingsophie.gif :(

Yeah, GIS was getting me nowhere and making it myself would take forever on my laptop, so I had to take the lazy route. :p


I'm still not entirely sold on the game. From the footage I've seen it looks almost insultingly easy, and I recall some GAFers familiar with the original mentioning that enemy placement/count has seemingly been modified with this in mind, so I think I'll wait for a sale.

This. If at least the BTA games were seperate i would have went for the BTA bundle, but instead i opted for 1$ bundle because paying the extra just for SR3 dlc seems a bit ridiculous :D.

That's because the original game is insultingly easy today, and if they made it even easier, god bless them.

Should have just followed this guide: http://blog.pcgamingwiki.com/modding-guide/821/system-shock-2-steam-modding-guide

I hope you didn't add anything that changes the game significantly.

b-b-but Grief I just dl'ed this: http://neutralx2.com/2013/07/14/system-shock-2-mod-pack

I have put together a collection of mods to improve the graphics and audio of System Shock 2. This package is intended to stay as close to the original look as possible, so you won’t find any mods in the pack that vary too far from how the game originally looked. This pack is intended to be used with the Steam or Good Old Games version of System Shock 2.

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.

They're obviously selling the nostalgia ticket with this one. I'm not surprised to see the enemy count or difficulty level reduced, simply because that's been the trend for the last 15 years.

The original Duck Tales had some parts that were hard as crap and pretty unforgiving - they would have a hard time "selling it to the masses" in today's gaming culture.

That's because the original game is insultingly easy today, and if they made it even easier, god bless them.

I'm guessing you played it a lot when it was released, right? I did too, and it seems easy now (to me) because I know where everything is and how the enemies move and react. I sat my teenage son down with the original Duck Tales and it was exactly like I remembered it being when I was little - a lot of dying over and over and over again while learning all of the game's nuances.

Ya

Modern Gamers would not put up with this.

Difficulty? Requiring rational thought? Nope, back to Skyrim.

new ducktales is straight up ugly too

idk man

Also they are using the American voice actors instead of the Swedish voices which I grew up with. These voices make no sense, I haven't even heard them, they don't fit the ducks at all. Give me my ducks back!!!

life is like a hurricane, here in, Duck Burg Sweden
