Played RE4 that way. Took me a few minutes to get acquainted, but after that it was fine. With newer games the controller I got for that doesn't work unless I run X360CE, which I'm glad that fixes it, but I don't see why they couldn't support Xinput and Directinput given both are very simple API interfaces that are stock. I'd rather have a controller learning curve than an unusable controller.

Still, that's what's making me picky about the price. I know everyone will say that the game is more than worth it for this price and that I'm being way too picky, but I just won't buy a game that is possibly going to eat my saves for over $5, no matter how good it is.

That happened to me three times. It's partially the reason I haven't finished episodes 3-5. I don't feel like dealing with that aggravation so. It's frustrating as hell and from the looks of the telltale and steam forums there are a lot of people in the same boat and telltale doesn't seem to care too much (last I checked anyway).

I'll finish the game eventually, but that issue definitely put a sour taste in my mouth.

I was talking about TWD. I haven't had any issues with HM.

Not all of us island people are crazy.

Turn it off before starting the game, just to be sure.

Pretty sure it's not a Steam Cloud issue, it's a game bug that corrupts save files. Correct if I'm wrong, Zillion.

Right, you're one of the people I know had major issues with it. I'm pretty sure it happened to Fox multiple times too.

In the end, I'm not really afraid of the bug. If I bought it and it happened to me, oh well. It just really decreases the value of the game in my eyes when losing my save is a possibility. I HATE doing things over again in games--especially adventure games. I'd rather buy the game when the bug is fixed (for a price like this, $7-$10), or when the price is $5 or under.

Is anyone else having problems getting Steam overlay to work with Hotline Miami?

oh, and I created a giveaway for Darksiders 1.

Maybe you should just use a mouse....http://www.cheapassgamer.com/forums/...ostcount=11109

I'm still sporting my Death Adder, from way the hell back when they launched them.

Yep, first time I said yes it crashed the game, second time I said yes, it didn't crash the game but the overlay didn't work still.

Love the shape and feel. I've got the Mamba (just the wireless version, basically). Awesome mice.

I use ESDF for WASD movement due to learning to type via touch typing. Most people think it's pretty silly, but it's what works for me.

and it's annoying when games don't let you remap WASD. I can't stand that configuration.

I use ESDF too, thank god there is someone else! For me, it felt completely logical to have your fingers exactly as you would on home row for playing and typing in mutliplayer games. I don't know what the logic for the other method is.

Yeah me neither, I think it has something to do with key placement when you use WASD.

But when you use WASD you can't reach a lot of keys with your index finger. With ESDF I can access pretty much everything on the left side of my keyboard without issue. Plus it feels completely natural since my brain is used to Home row and instinctively finds the braille-like raised notch on the F and knows exactly what to do.

I agree with this so much. Using gamepads before the 360 standard was terrible. Such a pain in the ass. I'll Take 360 Xinput support anyday.

THOUGH I do think they should support DI and XI in games.

This. If it's $2.50 after credit I'll bite, but I'm guessing it'll be $5-7.50 after credit.

Sucks how the original Alice is never sold by itself. Because of how often Madness Returns has been on sale everywhere else (Steam, GG, Amazon), most who are interested in the series (like myself) already have Madness Returns.

I'm in the same boat as Suntoast, and I'm guessing we're not the only ones.

Well, I already own both Alice Returns and the Original, but if I didn't, I'd certainly be willing to pay $7.50 for the lot. They're great games. But certainly not just for the original America McGee's Alice alone (which it looks like the position most people are in.)

We all have our 'price points' for certain games, and apparently mine was $2.50 for the Darkness II, because I skipped over it countless times at higher prices.

The Mass Effect Collection (1 and 2) for $10 + coupon would make a great sale.

oh god.. I thought Dark souls deal finishing on 6th January. I was going to buy it after i got my salary today. Cant believe it expired. I was really hoping to play it tonight. :( cant believe i missed it. I bought Logitech a Controller too for this game :(
Tony are your Bringing it back ??

Count me in that camp.

17200+ posts - I'm in! The only really big bundle that I'd be looking for these days would be all the LEGO games for a CAG-level price. I have most of them on PS3 already, but the DVG hoarder in me *wants* such a collection on my PCs. Thanks to Tony & his minions for the great work this season. My backlog has never been so deep and varied. I'll be posting some SteamGifts soon for the dups (Bioshock, Saints Row 3 TFP & Spec Ops most likely) for you good people to claim.

PS - If you're new, go read the 1st page and/or Tony's sig. Also, learn how to search. This thread would probably be under 5K posts if folks would take that extra minute.
