But yeah this game is fun as hell. I bought it on Steam and setup Steam family sharing so if I'm not playing anything on my Steam account, my gf can play it on hers. I am trying to convince her to just buy her own copy though.
The servers are getting absolutely slammed!

Re: General Gaming Thread
Fuck (and I can't stress this enough) FUCK the ragdoll physics of this game. I understand that they want the gameplay to be wacky and fun, but I don't like feeling out of control. Especially on those damn see saws. It reminds me when Smash Bros introduced random tripping in Brawl.Skynet wrote: ↑Tue Aug 11, 2020 5:31 pmIf buying on Steam, at least if you don't like it you can refund it.

Block Party and the hex mini games are great though. I hope that they make an offline, split screen mode sometime.
I get the feeling this game is going to be around for a long while.

Did you buy it on steam? It wouldn't recognise my XB1 controllers on 2 PCs without me going into Steam big picture and forcing controller config or something, then it works fine with no big picture required.

Still no word of when they will add control options to PS4, though. I need inverted analog controls.

Re: General Gaming Thread
Nice I've gotten 3-4 eliminations away from winning a crown Hex-A-Gone. I think I prefer it to Fall Mountain because it's easier to recover on Hex-A-Gone than catch to someone who makes a perfect run through an obstacle course.melancholy wrote: ↑Thu Aug 13, 2020 7:47 amI did that when I bounced off the crown not realizing I had to grab it.pixel wrote: ↑Thu Aug 13, 2020 2:29 amBoy, that would've made me chuck my controller across the roommelancholy wrote: ↑Wed Aug 12, 2020 9:57 pm Fixed crown in Fall Mountain not being grabbable in rare situations

I've made it close only twice

I did Fall Mountain and had the lead the entire way, tripped near the top and got overtaken. I was so pissed. I've been seconds away from a crown so many times now
