Pad isn't the issue really, it's lag. Bmups on PC have never really worked out for me, just because they're SO timing sensitive (even more than FPS), and I just feel like you can never trust a PC to keep up, cos it's always got other stuff going on in the background. Though to be fair, I haven't tried one for maybe 10 years, and it's potentially something that just isn't an issue like it used to be.

very tempted by Mass Effect for 3.75 euros but 12 gigs! and really I have three other rpgs on DS to play first (DQ 5, Suidoken Tierkreis, TWEWY) + I bought the Civ 4 Complete on sale the other night. Plus I have Medieval II to start sometime this spring also. And there is of course no time for any of this. But when I get back to my 360 in Sept. maybe I'll get Mass Effect for it---seems pretty cheap on it too.

I have the total opposite attitude Jim! I mean, I played virtually every CPS2 release and half the Neogeo fighters emulated on PC, I really don't see a problem. Even SF3 runs pretty much perfectly now. Maybe you've been burned by bad ports from the '90s? The SFIV PC port is actually pretty well handled, performance-wise.
I've already bought enough stuff to last me through at least the first half of 2010... think i'll just wait until next year for Sam and Max. Still saving my gift purchases for Sunday...

final day of the steam sale - they brought back a bunch of the previous dailies
Defense Grid - $2.49L4D2 - $33.49GTA IV - $7.49Torchlight - $4.99Killing Floor - $4.99STALKER Shadow of Chernobyl - $2.00Bioshock - $4.99
once again giving the middle finger to those who bought Torchlight as a weekend deal for $10 a week ago
But there have been so many good deals that haven't even been highlighted on the dailies... so many to sift through right now for my final purchase and gifting. The Witcher is probably the last one I'm realy considering...
(not to mention the awesome GOG.com sale which I would totally be jumping on, but considering I no less than six games on backlog from that site alone, I've sworn it off until I can get some of that done. that sale ends today too!)
― Nhex, Sunday, 3 January 2010 21:59 (fourteen years ago) link
seriously though, get torchlight if you haven't already.

I was using the rolling PC thread for that but felt kinda shillish to update the thread every few weeks just for GOG and Steam sales. Hope you guys didn't miss $2 Psychonauts this week. Y'all should be hitting CAG constantly anyway for this stuff.

from 2006 summer thread:
I have started Titan Quest, it is amusing in the Diablo ways, I suppose. I never played Diablo/Diablo 2, though, so the idea never had a chance to really stale.― Will M. (Will M.), Tuesday, 4 July 2006 19:24 (3 years ago) Permalink
I don't relaly rmeember playing it except vaguely I remember starting it and going "meh" and quitting, so, not memorable. If you have Torchlight play it instead!

Torchlight really put the Diablo bug back in me after ten years, so I'll probably get this. Also, it has multiplayer, which TL sadly does not, and I'm in the mood for that.
― Nhex, Wednesday, 3 February 2010 22:24 (fourteen years ago) link
TQ has gotten hype from some quarters too, some prefer it to Torchlight - it's supposedly a lot longer, more diverse environments and better class mixing.

MOO2 is kinda classic though dated, Outcast is one of those games that sounds pretty interesting, but I wonder if it'll hold up at all today.
