I kind of want to pick up 10,000,000 and/or Dollar Dash from GMG, but both seem like pretty obvious bundle fodder. I used my $2 credit on They Bleed Pixels, otherwise it would have been an easier decision. I know 10,000,000 has been cheaper, so that I can probably hold out on. I'm also thinking about picking up Virtua Tennis 4, but I still have Top Spin 4 to play on 360.

I agree about the gun problem. BL1 it was actually exciting to open chests or checking vendors to see if there was something good, but in BL2 most the good stuff is either specific boss drops, quest rewards or from the golden chest. Hopefully for Borderlands 3 they go back to the way it was in 1.

The action skill cooldown is the other big difference between Borderlands 1 and 2 that no one's mentioned. They had much longer base cooldowns in the first game until you got the talent to reduce cooldown. It made the early game very slow and somewhat boring. Thankfully they fixed it in 2.
Click to expand...
Honestly, I enjoyed BL1 much more for this reason. There was the thrill of opening the chest and seeing something awesome laying there (basically nonexistent in BL2). It was definitely harder to get into at the beginning, but once you got going it was the best. I didn't really mind that travel could be a pain, I just got used to it. BL2 is still a great game, but honestly, I'd pick BL1 in a heartbeat. Also I thought the DLC for BL1 was much better (granted I haven't played the latest BL2 DLC).

 
I see some good deals from time to time on nuuvem, are they safe to buy from or do you run the risk of buying region restricted games?

Also, since they are Brazilian, is it safe to assume the games will play in English?

 
You always run the risk of buying a region restricted game.  Most Steam games are not region restricted, but some are.  Origin if I recall is almost always region restricted.   Just research the title before buying.

Someone commented on this somewhere on this forum but the the gist of it was that most games sold in Brazil are in English. And that Brazilian Portuguese was different enough from Iberian Portuguese that trying to make a Portuguese language version of a game was rarely worth it.

Of course, it's always worth it to try and find out first for individual titles but in general the odds should be in your favor.

Unless you have GMG credit to burn or want the games immediately, you're probably better off just waiting for the steam sale and spending card credit on them. I can't see them being less than 50% off and possibly as much as 80%. Judging from the price of keys, steam credit converts to hard currency at around $0.80, so 50% off on steam is still better than 55% off at GMG.

You've clearly not played this with your SO as passenger and you innocently ask, "Where to?" If I hear "Look at the map!" one more time....... :bomb: I can't drive and look at the map at the same TIME! Other than that, we're having a blast!!

Yeah, I was more so contemplating it when I had the $2 credit still, but since I used that on They Bleed Pixels, that pretty much made my decision.

Speaking of They Bleed Pixels, I really don't like this game. Controls are awful and the platforming isn't as precise as I'd like it to be. It seems like things are always either going in slow-motion or too fast and slippery.

I've bought loads of games from Nuuvem, some DRM-free, some Steam, and every game has been in English (I honestly don't think there are Portuguese only versions of many games) and every Steam key has been ROW or something similar.

However, the only Origin game I've tried to buy there was restricted to the point where I couldn't even put it in my cart, so...

Honestly though, zero complaints about the controls. I play with an Xbox controller and use the LB button to jump and the RB button to attack. The controls are damn crisp and responsive.

If you feel "slippery", odd are you're on ice...

We're clearly on opposite ends of the spectrum in regards to the controls. I'm using KB/M and you're using a controller. I'm sure that complaint would go out the window if I was also using a controller. And yeah, I know about the ice, but even regularly, it just feels like a less precise Super Meat Boy. I'm well aware that I'm not that great at the game, but I just wasn't having fun with it.

Complaining about platformer controls when using a KB/M. This conversation just ended. (And I'm satisfied knowing why you're complaining then.)

In the game's defense, when you boot it up it does say that a 360 controller is highly recommended.

 
In regards to Nuuvem, I've bought quite a few games on there, and if a game is region restricted (usually Origin games), they will not allow you to purchase it. It's also cool that they're one of the few services that give you a proportional discount if you already own a game (bought from them previously) when you buy a bundle from them. 

For AC games, Tages is annoying, but I have no problem with uPlay (other than their recent security breach).

This 100x! I tried to play Super Meat Boy with KB/M once. Left after the first level :headache:

If there is one genre that will never work well without a controller, it's platformers :joystick:

Well I hadn't been paying too much attention to cards, but got a booster pack for Trine 2 and ended up one card away from a badge.  Sold off dupes and picked up the last card, I feel somehow soiled by whole affair.  I did get my mystery card though so I guess there's that.  They Bleed Pixels and Trine 2 cards are actually selling for a relatively reasonable 50 or so cents, as opposed to the Valve games which are half that.

Just realized I got my first foil with the mystery card and those are selling for close to $10... now I'm tempted to just sell that off...

It's not so much using the KB/M, it's just that the actual KB/M controls are weird. A controller would be more accurate and precise, but Z and X being the primary jump/attack buttons isn't very intuitive.

You can't change the controls? o_0

I can't remember the last time I used default key bindings... in any game... ever.

You can, but I didn't bother to since I was mostly just playing to get cards. Still, controls aside, I wasn't having that much fun in the game, especially one that has a metacritic of 74. I just couldn't get into it.

The game is fairly tough, so I can see why playing the game with a keyboard would make the whole experience suck. I hardly like platformers, and I love it (I think I'm on chapter 2 of the 3rd dream). It's challenging, I like the aesthetic, the music, etc. Really though, you've gotta play with a controller.

I did like the music. The combat didn't do much for me either, but I will give it another go with a controller and see how that affects my opinion.

There are a good bit of different ways to attack, as well. You'll unlock tutorials teaching you how to do them as you go (though I think you are always able to do them, not sure). For a platformer, I think the combat is pretty good. I don't usually link platformers with "good combat system" though, other than ARPG style games like Fortune Summoners.

 
Finally got my first booster pack, Portal 2! Is it better to sell the pack, or open it first? They're being listed at $1.49 and seem to be selling. I guess I'll sell the pack, the individual cards are at 40 cents and there's almost no chance of a foil.

When I'm only losing a quarter or so by opening it... I've always opened it. I'm sure there COULD be foils...
