Support NeoGAF

[Khronico]

This feels off-topic now, but I started playing Hotline Miami again. I stopped a few months back when I got to the 4th chapter or so. I finally pushed through and now I'm at 14 (2 left). The boss fights in this game are ridiculous.

Spoiler

It took me 30 or so tries to beat the guy with the knife and the dudes in the van. But a "try" takes anywhere from 5 seconds to a minute, so it wasn't too painful.

I like that the game plays around with the mechanics later on and asks questions for the player to think about (what exactly is real?).

My only big critique is that when I succeed it often feels like luck. Enemies just happen to miss me or take a weird path. Still a fun, frustrating and eventually rewarding game.

My strategy for that guy was

Spoiler

use his own weapon against him. Round up the fodder enemies and lead em through the fire.

.

Glad you're liking it, it's my personal GOTY 2012.

Here you go.

sweet !

 

[Hesemonni]

Modbot doesn't like me and refuses to accept my giveaways ((

 

[JaseC]

Edit Edit: Why don't I have a category called "Controller Supported Games"!?!??!?!

It's exclusive to BPM, the rationale being that if you were interested in viewing games with controller support, you'd be navigating Steam with a controller.

 

[alr1ght]

Here you go.

thx

There's a whole thread dedicated to this news.

I thought I was screwed at first, armed only with a shotgun and no ammo. So I punched the first dude, quickly grabbed his shotgun and took out every dude with well placed shots, very carefully sidestepping the fires. The knife guy wasn't so bad once I figured out the 2 swings and 1 throw rhythm. He still had a weird walking routine.

Have you played with the new engine? It's shinier for sure. I just don't know if it fits the game as well.

The update changed the engine? Aw man now I need to play through a couple levels to see/feel the difference.

 

[Saige]

I love you!

Thank you so much; that's cheered me right up .

Thanks, Saige.

No problem, enjoy the games.

I thought about just trying to get Mark of the Ninja from here since it's the only game I really wanted, but I can't resist the fun of using Modbot to hook some people up.

try without the umlaut on the u for brutal legend.

 

[Baron von Loathsome]

Nabbed that bundle at $4. It's freaking great bundle, too, even though I have most of the games already.

 

[chronomac]

The update changed the engine? Aw man now I need to play through a couple levels to see/feel the difference.

The patch went through a couple days ago. It looks better for sure, but not as appropriate to the game, if that makes sense.

 

[The Super Bob]

Thanks, Saige.

Thought you needed Trine and Eets?

 

[statham]

try without the umlaut on the u for brutal legend.

will do.

 

[MMBosstones86]

BTA climbing.....will still be biting the bullet when I get home in hopes of good bonus games.

Any speculation on what will be added?

 

[woo and indeed hoo]

AvP Classic 2000 am hard :/. I've started a new game as a marine and an alien and died quickly in both plus I've got 'lost' especially as the alien and found navigation difficult. All these modern games that make it almost impossible to not finish a game [except out of boredom] have spoilt me. Time to fire up a different game in my backlog to assuage my battered ego .

 

[Stumpokapow]

will do.

yeah, it went through fine that time. sorry a lot of modbot is still not properly unicode safe and i'm so lazy that i never get around to fixing it.

I did, and I thought the ModBot code I copied was for trine 2, but it was for FTL (I saw wrong), so I gave it to a friend instead. If that is okay.

Since Klei entertainment is there i'm randomly hoping for Don't Starve though that is still pretty new.

[jshackles]

If you're paying 75-99% off the MSRP as most people are (and you are, in your screen) then you are undoubtedly not contributing above the value of goods received. It's not THAT grey. The devs on the other hand do allow the option for their proceeds to go to charity.

FWIW, I haven't ever done this and was just speculating that it could be a reason why someone would want to select "All charity" on their Humble Bundles.

 

[woo and indeed hoo]

If you were lazy you wouldn't have given us ModBot in the first place sir. Self deprecation is an attractive trait though .

 

[Divius]

Let's see if I can be quick/lucky enough to cop a Fez copy.

 

[FloatOn]

:/

hey if this is causing your day to suck a little. I can correct that. Let me know and I'll pm you a FTL code.

60,000+ sold already and the average has jumped up quite a lot.

Was only asking. People have been known to be jerks.

Thanks statham for FTL. Finally I'll be able to see what's the fuss about

 

[Tellaerin]

The update changed the engine? Aw man now I need to play through a couple levels to see/feel the difference.

The engine update broke things for some people too, so YMMV. Some folks are getting CTD's, and I (and some others, from what I've seen on forums) don't get any sound with the new engine. -_-

I Agree.

And I just love the way you talk. It really helps me improve my english to be honest fellow GAFfer.

 

[r3n4ud]

Not necessary. Just saying it was a poor decision on his part to give away the game instead of giving it back to SteamGaf

 

[Cheddahz]

Thanks for Dead Space, time to make one of my friends play it

 

[paperspace]

Do people seriously hate Phil?

 

[The_Monk]

Do people seriously hate Phil?

I don't fellow GAFfer, Hate is such a strong word in my opinion.

 

[r3n4ud]

Do people seriously hate Phil?

I'm sure people do. Sure he voices his opinions that irk people, but he's a great guy and a nice person to talk to.
