I was trying to buy the Batman franchise collection when it timed out on me. Maybe it's a sign.

I never played either Arkham games. Are the PC ports good? Are Asylum, City, and Impostors (plus all DLCs) worth $24.99?

Joe Molotov · « **Reply #481 on:** July 17, 2012, 12:41:07 PM »

I don't know about Imposters, but AA and AC are great on the PC.

Yes and Yes.

Asylum and City are both good. Just those would cost you $17. City comes with the Catworman DLC; I don't really think it's worth an additional $7 for the additional City DLC and GCI.

tl;dr: Buy the base games of the real titles; ignore the rest.

Batmane Asylum is a thing of beauty. City is no Asylum but I would say that it's a fitting emotional and narrative conclusion to this particular interpretation of the enduring story of Bruce Wayne the man and Batman the legend.

No worries; the extra DLC is mostly challenge maps and characters (Robin, Nightwing) you can use in the challenge maps. If you REALLY love the game you may get your money's worth out of 'em.

Is there a way to see your steam library on the web? I want to know if I need to buy Stacking on my phone or if I own it already. I have it on PSN, but don't remember if I got the superior PC version in a past sale.

If you have an iPhone (and I think you do), install Steam Mobile.

Bebpo · « **Reply #495 on:** July 17, 2012, 01:29:47 PM »

I am using steam mobile but I don't see the option to view your library and when I go to buy games I already own it doesn't tell me I own them like real steam does so I can't check that way.

I realized I don't know my password offhand so I can't sign in through the web. Can one of you guys check if I own stacking?

you can just use the web browser to see your profile if you need to: http://steamcommunity.com/id/bebpo

it might show a mobile site but there's a link at the bottom to take you to the desktop site.

how is stacking? for those of you who played it

You do not own Stacking. You do not own Costume Quest. You do own Psychonauts.

Bebpo · « **Reply #498 on:** July 17, 2012, 01:36:46 PM »

Thank you.

Yeah I have no interest in Costume Quest double dip since I own it on PSN, beat it and didn't like it so I'll never replay it. Haven't played Stacking though, so might as well double dip and play on PC without screen tearing.

Howard Alan Treesong · « **Reply #499 on:** July 17, 2012, 01:48:18 PM »

I played Stacking demo on PSN and wasn't too impressed, but I really liked their GDC presentation on the game and at $3.75 am willing to give it a second shot. I agree that Costume Quest was not very good unfortunately - cute art, completely absent gameplay.

That's only in case I ever win those Steam "win your wishlist" contests

I don't want anyone to gift me games. While I appreciate the thought, the money's better spent on others.

btw, I just noticed I have a Counter Strike GO beta if anyone wants it. I don't know if it's still up since the game is coming out soon, but if someone wants to try, just ask.

As someone who hasn't played any of Dead Rising 2, how is Off the Record compared with the original DR2?

Off the Record is [literally] DR2 with Frank from DR1 and sandbox mode.

It's not at all [literally] DR2. Tons of new content.
