I don't remember the name, but I always pick one above the normal difficulty. The "hard" equivalent, if you will.

I could really only see you getting short on bullets in the very beginning and if everyone is using guns instead of other weapons. But in that case, it would completely be your own fault. Besides, I don't even think all the NPCs are good with guns.

Good review and I agree with all points except:

QuoteAnother letdown with the combat, is the inability to switch weapons. If you have half of your group wielding guns and you manage to run out of ammo, you’re completely out of luck. That ruined one of my runs pretty quickly and it was a little annoying. It felt like artificial difficulty, considering bullets are also the currency.

Erh, what? 2 hours in the game, you are basically swimming in bullets. Not once in the game was I short on them and I wasn't even grinding, just visiting locations as I went from A to B.
If anything, you have far too MANY bullets.

And I actually think the combat is a good example of how to do combat on a tiny budget. Fancy animations aren't really needed.

Quoting: ImFromMostonHave they decided to fully support their own controller yet.. or is it still the half assed implication its been, pretty much since launch.

You're going to need to elaborate on what issue(s) you had with it. It's been flawless for me.

Yeah, never had any problems with it, either.

Quoting: TheSHEEEPDo you still have to disable the Steam overlay because it just keeps freezing the game (if you are lucky and it doesn't freeze the entire system)?
Especially when using its browser (which is the only thing I use it for, easier than alt-tabbing).

what? never seen it freeze a game or entire system. but it does make small fps hit on some games

I wish I had never seen it, but it happens once every few hours on both my laptop and main machine (which have both different hardware and linux distributions), as well as on the laptop of my GF.
And it happens far more often when using the browsers.

No idea what causes it but I'm willing to try again when the new Steam client is no longer beta.

Well, it really makes sense to not port a game after so much time.
I mean, really, what for?

Just hope the dev's next game will feature linux earlier.

Quoting: TheSHEEEPNot really... I once (like... 15-20 years ago) had a Latin class. Yeah, the ancient one, which for some reason is still being taught in German schools - what a waste. Anyway, I always sucked at it and so once I mistranslated the text "the cruel cyclops had sheep" as "the cyclops had cruel sheep" - hey, I was like 12 or so, I was allowed to be stupid.
That "cruel sheep" didn't get out of my head so I started drawing comics with sheep, and eventually that evolved to my nick which I have had since then.

They still teach it at school and high-school in Romania , but it's like one class total.
I was pretty terrible at it despite my native language being latin based. :P
So , should i start googling for german webcomics titled "grausames Schaf" ?

You could, but that was way before stuff like Facebook was a thing. I guess I could have scanned them and uploaded them on Geocities... or MySpace. But I didn't ;)

Quoting: razing32Well don't stop the story there.
Tell us the whole story. Seems to be a funny one.

Quoting: TheSHEEEPThat sounds sort of odd coming from your handle and avatar. Are you some kind of wool-only chauvinist?

Sheep are majestic and wise beings and obviously above any furry-related material.
The avatar is actually from Temple Of Elemental Evil, which is D&D, so mostly just fantasy (with a tiny bit of furry stuff here and there).
I actually love REAL animals, except maybe cats, as they have vile personalities and I die from being unable to breathe if they are close.

But if everything in a setting is made up of animals in human clothing, there is just no way I can take it seriously. It is just wrong. I also hate people who dress up their animals in people's clothing. A dog is a dog FFS and should be naked (except if very cold and it's not a "winter compatible" dog) not a doll to play with! Man, that gets me angry just thinking about it. Urge to hand out backhand slaps increases.

As to my nick... oh boy, that goes waaaay back :D
