Thanks for Asylum, it's the only game in the Bundle that I cared for and didn't already have.

edit: How do you redeem these humble bundle keys now? I thought it's "https://www.humblebundle.com/?s=<keygoeshere>" but I just get a blank notepad-looking page after entering in the code and link.
edit2: Nevermind it's "https://www.humblebundle.com/gift?key="

Enjoy. Sorry, I would have put the link in but had seen it in several posts. My fault.

Nearly 50 hours in Resident Evil 6.

I have to wonder why my most-played RE games are the most unpopular amongst hardcore fans of the series (RE5, RE6)

Speaking of love blooming on battlefields, I wonder how long MGS Ground Zeroes for PC will be delayed...seeing as the console versions are coming out next spring. As long as there's a Steam release, I'll be content...well, as content as I can be without my dear David Hayter. :(

50 HOURS!?! Holy moly. I wanted to shoot myself after I finished it in 27 hours. I'd rather go through RE 5 on professional mode with the AI than play through that boring repetitive mess again.

DEBORAH! DEBORAH! DEBORAH! DEBORAH! DEBORAH! DEBORAH! DEBORAH! DEBORAH! DEBORAH! DEBORAH! DEBORAH! DEBORAH! DEBORAH! DEBORAH! DEBORAH! DEBORAH! DEBORAH! DEBORAH! DEBORAH! DEBORAH! DEBORAH! DEBORAH! DEBORAH!

-_-

So many great ideas but terrible execution.

I'm guessing it's actually a scenario like mine where the fat bulk of the game time was spent in mercs mode. I don't think either single player campaigns warrant much replaying, but the expanded abilities in RE6 make it infinitely more fun outside of SP.

Steam's efforts to improve the downloader continue in the new client beta:

Valve really needs to add a window for easily controlling auto-update settings across a larger library. The one that pops up when adding a non-Steam shortcut would be perfect:

You could quickly enable/disable auto-updates across all games or de/select particular titles as desired.

Im in the same boat.
I love RE and my most played are 5 and 6.
I can understand some of the hate people have towards them. Hell 6 isn't perfect.
But I do think they get an unfair shake sometimes.
 
Resident Evil 4 is never coming to Steam, is it guys? I saw RE5 and RE6 talk and got nostalgic.

Speaking of RE5 any word on if GFWL is leaving soon or whether or not Gold Edition will finally go on Steam instead of standard?

Isn't a weak-ass port of RE4 already on Steam?

Before Sven left Capcom he was pushing Japan for a RE1-4 Steam release, and he did say he was making headway. He just got fed up and quit after he got tired of the ridiculous decisions coming out of the country.

Capcom support told a couple people that they will remove GFWL from their games, no official word other than that.

Nope, the original PC version is not available digitally at all.

Not unless Capcom decides to port RE4 HD.

Capcom pulling something cool like the old RE games on Steam just isn't going to happen. We haven't even got Dragon's Dogma with the success of Dark Souls on PC should've clued them into doing that.

Dragon's Dogma PC will happen eventually.

I'd happily take a RE5 complete over RE4 HD. Missing content from other platforms is the worst, I can get over the latter by emulating the Wii version which is ironically superior to the PC port.

Seriously. I'm still bitter about the RE5 DLC not coming to PC. :mad: And that RE4 port is horribly optimized, like. . . I have what would be considered a low-end laptop, but if I can run RE5 above 30 frames (High in DX10 mode) at at least 720p then I would assume I could do the same or better in RE4. Nooooooooope. Makes me mad I bothered to track it down.

My take on it is DLC is almost never worth playing through, I would much rather have a game available on PC that currently isn't available digitally.

Would not want the original PC port though. Port over the Wii or HD version.

That would be so great but I don't think they'll do it in the near future because it requires online infrastructure for the Pawn and Ur-Dragon stuff. I'd probably buy it day 1 though.

Just leave it off, doesn't seem like a truly compelling feature anyways.

The Pawn stuff is very, very essential to Dragon's Dogma. There's too much to explain in just text but basically the AI party members in Dogma are the best open-world RPG AIs I've ever seen, and having customized AIs by other players makes it way better. Also without online pawns you won't be able to trade stuff with other players.

Agreed, I still hear nightmarish tales about the original PC port...

Maybe Capcom can partner with Microsoft to make the game Win8-exclusive in exchange for some Azure servers. :p

Mercs Reunion, Lost in Nightmares, and Desperate Escape add more than your average throwaway DLC, but I do agree with you there.

Oh, for sure. The Wii version ported to PC with mouse support in place of Wiimote controls would be pretty great.
