PC Digital Download Games: Dark Souls: Prepare to Die Edition $16, Dead Island $4, Dead Island Game of the Year Edition $5.50, Downloadable Content $3 & More

Quote from BinaryDemon : Dunno if this was covered in another post, but you might want to add Hard Reset $4 (AC) http://www.greenmangaming.com/s/u...ard-reset/ which is also activates on steam. Risen is also a decent game, for ~$4 but no steam key for that one.

Repped, I checked out the demo for Hard Reset a couple of years ago and it seemed like it would be a blast. I had almost forgot about it, thanks.

Can anyone comment on Dead Island GOTY as a single player game? I've read a few reviews and many mention that the game is much easier in co-op mode. I already have Dark Souls for when I want a challenge, was mainly looking at Dead Island as a quick game when I have some spare time like Borderlands.

I only just started the game, but so far single player has been fairly quick. Playing with a friend might make it easier since there's two people wacking zombies.

The game has multiplayer mode on by default, meaning anyone at your progress in the game can join you instantly and help out (or you can join theirs too), in case you need help, and progress is saved. You can also turn that off and just play by yourself, which I think is still okay, just probably more challenging.

I agree with xdbx, the game is utter crap of a port. If a game gets released to PC, I expect it to be playable with a PC keyboard/mouse. Also the fact that you have to go and download hacks to increase the resolution for this game and make it somewhat barely playable is absurd. Steam should not even accept a garbage game like this. What a disgrace excuse of a port. They should have kept that crap console only. I just took a loss on this one. Save yourself time and aggrevation and stay away from it.

Quote from WilliamG : Most people serious about their gaming on a PC use a 360 controller anyway. So what's the big deal? Who honestly attempts to play most of these games with a keyboard and mouse? Quitwcher bitchin', and get a gamepad.

You sir, are an idiot.

I want Dark Souls, but I really don't want to support Namco anymore (ni no kuni fiasco). Pretty good deal though. Maybe when it's $5 I'll have a smaller backlog and will get it.

SO when it says PC does it really mean just PC? cuz i have a MAC and i really want Dead Isand

Borderlands 2 Season Pass for $24 with coupon, good deal?

An original Internet user! Who'd have thought?

You're probably going to find it rather boring at first by yourself (I know I did). It gets much more interesting once you make it to the city and the zombies come running at you from all directions (that's where you're going to wish that you had a buddy with you and it's also a lot more fun). It's not terribly hard by yourself though. It's nice to play by yourself so you can explore a bit more. I played it all the way through once on my own without dying too much (at least not to the extent of Dark Souls) but make no mistake, this is no casual game. It's a somewhat open world, survival horror game with some RPG elements. It will keep you on your toes.

If anyone else uses 3D Vision, Dark Souls is by far the best 3D game I have ever seen (with Helix's patch of course). Visuals do improve as well with the simple DSfix.

It's always fun to hear everyone call Dark Souls the worst port ever, due to frame cap, mouse control, and tutorial confusion. Meanwhile I'm playing DmC3 which is also unplayable without a gamepad but also doesn't support current gamepads. They bound the 'esc' key to be "accept", press escape enough and it will start a new game for you, because they set quit to 'alt'-'f4' which means it doesn't work during cutscenes so the only way to quit sometimes is killing the program manually. It has no option for full screen so its window for you unless you force it with alt enter, and the framerate is dependent on the music. Makes loading up Dark Souls a dream by comparison.

Quote from xdbx : Don't waste your money on dark souls unless you love horrible console ports. Bought it yesterday and immediately requested a refund. EVERYTHING in the game is still console based, the beginning tutorials still tell you to press xbox buttons etc. Normally I can deal with a little bit of this, but in this case it makes the game completely unplayable. Also, if you have multi displays forget about it. This game does not constrain the mouse to the game window, so you're constantly clicking out of the game window while attempting to look around. The game might be alright on the console, but that's where it should have stayed.

Great post, appreciate it.
