Bastion is 50% off, GET TO IT!

[kebab4you]

After hearing nothing but positive opinions on it, I was just waiting for a good opportunity to grab it. Just bought and downloaded it, but it'll be a while before I have the time to actually play it.
Now to hope the PC controls are decent...

I had no issue with the pc controls what so ever my only complaint is that you don't shield in the direction your mouse is aimed but it shield in the direction your character is currently facing.

 

[Togs]

Hmm no, No Diablo clone with hipster music and a old prune whispering sweet nothings into my ear for me.

Err.... how much do you actually know about the game?
From that sentence Im gonna go with "fuck all".

 

[Dirty Hipsters]

Didn't a lot of people have a problem with the PC version of this game? I can't exactly remember what the problem was, but is it fixed?

You might be thinking of 'From Dust'?
only problem i think i heard about Bastion is that you had to move with WASD, where diagonally-styled QWAS would have been more appropriate, maybe, the way the maps are. Because off them being terrible and falling off ledges on corners.

WHY I NO HAVE GOOD GAMING COMPUTER??

Man, why couldn't this happen around Christmas time when I get a good laptop?

*Le Sob*

 

[Knusper]

I'd love to, but I just bought Baldur's Gate, Prince Of Persia and Beyond Good and Evil on GOG.com and just bought some gig tickets. I really ought to cut back on spending.

Um why don't you go look up the system requirements. Honestly the game doesn't need anything that strong anyway but since it is on Steam you could just buy it now and load it up on your new laptop then if you really can't run it now which I seriously doubt.

 

[BehattedWanderer]

Bastion is currently 50% off on steam, that means its for sale for a meager $7.49!

Have at it [http://store.steampowered.com/app/107100]

One of the games with the best Narrator and great gameplay for under $8, you have no excuse.

Should mention this is only till Nov. 3rd

*HUGS* You are my hero! Thank you for this news!

Oughta. If its not supported. you can download 'JoytoKey' and force it to support it. =P

Its what the creator of Binding Isaac suggests for people who whine that he didnt add Controller Support. =P

 

[Caliostro]

Yeah, Bastion is a pretty mandatory game to...just about anyone that enjoys good games. The story and story telling are godlike, and the gameplay is quite exquisite to boot.

That's £5.74 or 6 Euros if you live in Europe.

Yeah but who care about you funny Europeans and your goofy Quid, Pounds and Euros

Can you repeat that I'm sorry I can't hear you over the sound of your monopoly money.

 

[Aidinthel]

Noticed this on my own this morning. I believe my exact words were "Dammit, Steam, stop having such good sales!"

 

[Qitz]

I hope your not defending the Euro, I can see Quid but this.

Back at ya

Only problem with that is if he can't run Bastion OnLive may not want to work. I tried it myself and my OS, Windows XP, wasn't able to work with it.

There is a Demo though so @neonsword13-ops give it a shot.

I have it installed now, Yes. Full controller Support.

 

[Qitz]

One day left! Better snatch it up if you haven't yet.

I did. I spent some time this morning setting up the support for my PS3 controller and am really looking forward to playing it when I get back from class later.

As a side note, you might want to leave v-sync on. I know people normally don't like to use it, but it really improves the experience, at least for me. Very solid 30 fps at 1920x1080 resolution. Turning it off results in tearing. Maybe it's a console-port thing?

 

[Svane]

Nope... not getting it.

 

[thenumberthirteen]

Neat! I already have it though. Definitely a great game, and worth the money.

Be sure to get the Soundtrack edition if you can since the game has a beautiful soundtrack.

Case in point:

Tried it a few hours ago. Quite promising, though the PC controls take some getting used to (at least if you don't usually play such games, I guess). Combat's a bit iffy, too, but maybe that'll change as I get better.
No regrets on the purchase though. Great music and art direction, and the narration has got to be the sexiest thing in non-adult media.
