It's pretty much as horrible as the first one...

If they didn't screw around with the config files too much, the user.ini should still have the appropriate line for adjusting the pixely (unusable) mouse movement.

I may have to investigate before buying it though... I don't want to have to use a control pad to play it.

I dunno... I didn't have to use a control pad to play it. It was just BioShock, not UT that requires lighting fast and accurate movements.

Anyhow... just picked up Clones for the sale today. Looks like a decent little Lemmings title.

 

[Plumb_Drumb]

well, the mouse would skip around ten pixels at a time, where the analog controls were smooth as butter.
I go into the X/Y numbers in the user.ini, chop them in half and it's perfect.

It may not have affected my ability to play the game, but it affected my enjoyment of it.

I had the same problem in UT2003 and UT2004 (with the same fix, since their "mouse smoothing" did nothing), so maybe it's just some UE2 games with certain setups that don't like the default value.

Scratch that idea then

Just Cause 2 - 7.50 on steam.

****ing get it. The game owns so much.

 

[Kyllian]

If it supported XP then maybe

 

[hal]

Not wanting to adjust a line in an ini isn't a good reason to miss a pretty solid game. To each his own.

 

[inferyes]

Amnesia is 10 bucks. This game will scare you ****less.
Buy it.

If I knew what it was I'd maybe reconsider
So far searching for ways to get it to run on XP involve some half-assed pseudo-DX10 on XP thing

Steam has:

Mass Effect 2 $9.99 - good deal, get it nao.
Mass Effect $9.99 - not a very good deal but if you don't have it, you could do worse.
Darksiders $10.00 - if you like Tomb Raider/Legacy of Kain/God of War/etc style games, you'll like this one.
DeathSpank $7.50 - it's Ron Gilbert, come on.

 

[shoptroll]

Yup. Deathspank is my pick today. I think I'll keep waiting on Darksiders (I have a metric ton of Zelda games to play still).

 

[Sir_Brizz]

The only similarity to Zelda is swinging swords and opening chests.

 

[Bort]

Any one can gift me ME2 and I paypal you the money?

Is 25 USD on Mexico so if some ameri bro can save me 15 bucks that would be lovely.

I thought the game style was fairly similar?

 

[Sir_Brizz]

Ehhh... I don't think so. People have made that comparison, but it's no more like Zelda than any other fantasy 3D platformer, IMO.

 

[Sjosz]

Ehhh... I don't think so. People have made that comparison, but it's no more like Zelda than any other fantasy 3D platformer, IMO.

The game structure is very similar in terms of unlocking areas using new tools in the environment, but it's a bit more hard gated than most Zelda games.

 

[Kyllian]

Dead Rising 2 for $20
Haven't been really entheused by the series, but sounds like a good price


Oh god... there's a Back to the Future game O_O http://store.steampowered.com/app/31290
And apparently it starts off after the third movie. 5 episodes. 1st now, 2nd/3rd/4th in Feb/March/April and a final... whenever

word up dawg

 

[togmkn]

FYI, both Mass Effect 1 and 2 are $8 on GamersGate.

Besides those, pick up Darksiders (on Steam, that is). It's few quirks and not-that-awesome PC portedness are easily overlooked because it's fun, not to mention only $10.

 

[Fuzzle]

If I have an xbawks and a capable PC with a gamepad, should I grab darksiders on the box instead?
Price isn't a big deal since both versions can be found on the cheap these days, and I'd rather shell out an extra 5-10 for the 'better' version if there is one.
