Well I am on the verge of quitting sleeping dogs. This combat is starting to piss me the off. Oh I pressed the counter but it's not registering because of some bullshit so now I take damage that cost me half my health.

Yeah, I died like 4-5 times on a group of thugs and realized, just no. It's not worth the frustration.

I hadn't heard anything about a Hate Plus DLC for Analogue but holy cow googling this game ALWAYS, ALWAYS makes me sad. Maybe I am not reading the author properly but I really don't think Analogue is supposed to be a screed about how awful white men are and how on a day by day basis they are just a sneeze away from chaining women up but holy cow every single dope on the internet sure seems ready to call it that.

Ah hell I'm probably wrong. She probably is making a point that her magic sci-fi "Somehow all technology was forgotten" twist means we're just a few heartbeats away from women being locked in the kitchen and used only to birth babies. Cue ominous "It's already happening cuz it's so disturbing that politicians want to control womens' bodies" blather because it's absolutely ing impossible to have an honest disagreement about abortion so of COURSE you assume it is the latent incremental patriarchy hurr durr and not, well, that some people have a NOT ALTOGETHER BASELESS AND CERTAINLY NOT EASILY COUNTERED WHICH IS WHY YOU IGNORE IT belief that it is murder.

Sorry, I'm on a tangent now. I do like Analogue a lot though it feels kinda bad that, to enjoy it, I am deliberately taking parts of it that the author probably didn't intend it to go... maybe. I dion't know.

I had no such trouble with that. The countering wasn't Batman smooth but it didn't give me such hiccups.

That said some of those combat challenges were really hard until I came back with more moves

5 pages of dlc for it on the steam front page. I wonder if the ones from the franchise pack carry over.

It's weird. I had friends tell me they are getting ultra smooth combat yet I am getting some lag it seems whenever I try to counter someone a lot of the time. I am using a PS3 controller with motionjoy but I never had a problem with it before.

I am not getting any graphical lag either, this is all input lag for some odd reason.

WOOOO.... I danced around buying Gotham City Imposters for a while... glad I kept dancing and never committed myself.

Hurrah!

Bought it somewhere else a couple of months ago (Impulse?) but I would rather have it on steam. Hopefully I can still use my old account to sign in and whatnot.

However, I guess it's just the cynical or jaded side of me that feels that it's just a bit too convenient from a player-game perspective that the two AI's fulfill the role of anime tropes so easily (you have maid/servant, tsundere and even a slight catgirl fetish thrown in for good measure). I guess I may be mistaken in discerning what the "point" of the game's story was, but I do feel that the romance felt unnecessary ... especially the "harem" ending (but maybe that one is more of an easter egg because I would not have figured out how to achieve it without looking online). I felt the game would have been better and less sappy/cliche without these elements, because I honestly did enjoy the character "arcs" as you see how people progress throughout the years. Either way, I'm still looking forward to see what the Hate Plus DLC will bring, though probably with not as much anticipation as I originally had for Analogue itself.

Well, I think there are two things at play here. One, the author is a total nerd. That anime-y stuff is going to happen regardless. Two, the story had no meat to it WITHOUT the romance. I mean, we never actually saw what caused the complete downfall of the colony to such a sorry state. You were sent to find out what happened and all you managed to do was chat with a two virtual waifus and then one for some arbitrary reason after valiantly winning a battle against a terminal prompt. If nothing else, the romance is there to let you connect with poor widdle *Hyun-ae or *Mute and take them home to cuddle rather than leave them on the station. If not that then you're just a dude who had to sweet talk a computer to get it to give up some logs which you read and then you left.

And yeah, the harem ending was silly. All the endings were kinda silly, but they were an acceptable form of silly. Plus, it gave you some distance from the TRAGEDY OF THE PALE BRIDE so the story wouldn't be a total downer from start to finish.

GCI still crashes for me during matchmaking, I bought it like 6 months ago and still have never played more than a round at a time.

Not only is Gotham City Imposters free to play, but for some reason it's sitting in my games library even though I don't want it to be. Anyone know how I can get rid of it? I tried deleting local content, but that did nothing.

I Am Alive available for pre-purchase, act now for a free copy of Bloody Good Time.

Wonder if this will require uplay?

Same here, annoying.

Also, Cardinal Quest II is on Greenlight. The first one was very basic, but a really nice simple roguelike. I had fun with it.

me too...it smelled like a F2P from the get go though

Into level one of SHAMELESS MEAT BOY RIPOFF* They Bleed Pixels and I am having a blast so far.

Don't spring for the soundtrack though

Doesn't actually play like Meat Boy

EDIT: Level 2 now, I think it's Dustforce more than Meat Boy, only it has combat and I like both the really tight platforming and the simplistic, brittle, but decent combat.

I actually found myself dying quite a bit at first, especially in groups with a mix of grapplers (the big dudes that you can sometimes only counter with quick time events) and knife wielders.

I found the combat much easier when I changed my strategy a bit and found a couple jade statues:
1) The best upgrade I found, by far, was the follow up attack on a stunned enemy. This seems to be an instant kill on fodder and takes less time than the long x,x,x,x,(x) combo. Basically you need to upgrade first to allow x,x,(x) to stun the enemy, then follow up with another x to kick them in their face. Also, I always went for the fat grapplers first because I didn't like how they could interrupt my attacks with a grapple (which I can't counter).

You can counter at almost any time in your animation, except for some (hold x) follow ups, like x,x,x,x,(x) jumping kick. If you think people are going to attack, just do basic quick combos then counter.

The game also gets much easier when your face level increases, since you regain health and get more powerful when it activates. Also, when it's leveled up enough, you automatically disarm weapon wielders upon counters, which is awesome You can max out your face level quickly and easily by completing races. I recommend the GX300 for class B motorcycle, CS750R for class A motorcycle, Terre GT for class B car, and really any class A car (though I like the Tuono). All of these vehicles except the Tuono are pretty affordable.

Hope that helps!

Doctor Who game on Greenlight!

If it's anything like the BBC ones it'll be pretty good. They were short but fun.

I've been voting up anything that looks vaguely interesting and complete on Greenlight. Looks like 1% = 1,000 up votes, so it's going to take a while for anything to get accepted.

100,000 votes? I can see a few games getting there, but I can see plenty missing out. If publishers start promoting greenlight more though I can see us steam addicts making the push.

I think if we all band together, this can reach fruition. Everybody vote NOW!
