Sequence is ASS and POO

I feel bad for that guy that gave out like 5000 free copies of it at GAF because he seemed really proud of it, but it was indeed shite. Gameplay was bleh, and it tried like 10000% too hard to be cute.

It's a rhythm-action game with bad music and worse gameplay. Britney's Dance Beat has better mechanics (I know; I played it). Some serious D-level shit.

how well does myst hold up for someone who has never played it?

Two Words: Shit Sandwich.

Buy Scratches instead if you want an actual good 1st Person adventure game.

You can get Orcs Must Die for free if you sign up for a trial account of IGN prime. Be sure to cancel before the 30 days end, though!

Me too. I definitely enjoy the concept, and I myself have pondered why first person adventure games must be so shitty.

Part of the problem is that most first-person adventure games wanted to be too much like Myst, and they're all like "oh, let's have no plot and really obtuse puzzles that can only be solved by translating some alien language and then applying a base 17 number system!" SNORE.

Where do you see this at? I only see some banner for In Time.

It died like an hour after I posted that.

Green Man Gaming got their keys today, so take that for whatever it's worth.

Joe Molotov · « **Reply #2893 on:** October 26, 2011, 04:35:51 PM »

Ha, Global Ops came out today. Steam is trolling.

Renegade Ops is up now for some people.

i'm downloading it. i'll believe it's actually out when i've beaten the game

Raban · « **Reply #2898 on:** October 26, 2011, 07:20:48 PM »

Of course it unlocks while I'm at work

Yeah, it doubly sucks because then you gotta wait until you come home just to start downloading it. Steam needs a "start downloading this game automatically as soon as it unlocks" option.

RENEGADE OPS IS RAD

Raban · « **Reply #2901 on:** October 27, 2011, 02:08:50 AM »

The port job is kinda lackluster. I was hoping to see this game in 1080p and you can't even alter the resolution.

Despite this, still a great game.

fistfulofmetal · « **Reply #2902 on:** October 27, 2011, 05:26:55 AM »

huh? you go into the help and settings and choose display settings or something like that to change resolution. it most definitely can be run at 1080.

Raban · « **Reply #2903 on:** October 27, 2011, 10:32:59 AM »

I must've been flustered last night or something, didn't see that $:-\$ . Thanks.

fistfulofmetal · « **Reply #2904 on:** October 27, 2011, 10:41:00 AM »

the game seems like a fine port. 360 controller maps fine. it runs @ 60fps maxes out and looks real nice.

i played the first two missions with two other friends and it's mad fun.

Raban · « **Reply #2905 on:** October 27, 2011, 11:01:48 AM »

I agree for the most part, though it is a personal gripe when PC games don't support the Alt+F4 command.

oh man oh god oh man oh god scratches is $3.40

some great deals there. I have most of them, but will buy a few when I get home.

cool breeze · « **Reply #2910 on:** October 27, 2011, 01:38:07 PM »

sort of related: Origin is now supporting non-EA games from THQ, Warner and Capcom. originally it seemed to just be EA's thing. now it's going the Steam way.

on the bright side, dueling deals?

Play it at night with a good sound setup... perfect Halloween game. Use a guide if you have to. Scratches!!!!

The bonus episode isn't -as- good but it's a neat epilogue.

Howard Alan Treesong · « **Reply #2916 on:** October 27, 2011, 04:46:51 PM »

I bought Scratches, meow

fyi, the Halloween sale seems to be updated to include Costume Quest for $5

at least I didn't see it before and it's there now

brob · « **Reply #2921 on:** October 31, 2011, 09:56:34 PM »

I like the concept of costume quest. Is it simple and easy or simple and tedious?

Joe Molotov · « **Reply #2922 on:** October 31, 2011, 11:32:41 PM »

It's piss easy, and you can beat it in about 4-5 hours. Though the combat gets monotonous after about...oh, two battles. It's like DQ 1 if you didn't have any items or spells.
