FFIX just went live on Steam, and it's also on sale for 16 bucks.
Yeah, but.... it's FFIX.
Which many believe is one of the good ones. I mean, it's below IV and VI, for me, but still.
IX is one of the last good FFs. Miles ahead of VIII and a return to form for the series. The only major issue I ever had was the stupid long battle intros.
8 is my favorite in the entire series, but I acknowledge that's because VII and VIII were my first JRPGs... and I could never get far into VII as a kid because only disk 1 worked.I liked VIII

10 had blitzball. Augh gawd I hated blitzball.
I got to like it after a while. Easy one of the least annoying sidequests for an ultimate weapon in that game.

Well, at least it wasn't a card game or triple triad, I suppose.
Until Disk 3.
Oh god FUCK TRIPLE TRIAD RIGHT IN THE GODDAMN EYEBALL

Indeed. I could hardly believe they brought that nonsense back for FF XIV.
Squeenix: "Sure, our games might not make a goddamn bit of sense and aren't really any fun to play anymore, but LOOK AT THE HAIR TEXTURE IN THESE GODDAMN CUTSCENES! And no one has costumes with more belts per square inch!"
Yeah, I can't really argue with that, things got silly.
It's actually one of the more popular parts of the Golden Saucer in XIV. That and Chocobo Racing. Plus they turned TT into a collect-a-thon just like VIII in that you can get cards from all over the place.
Me, just now:
"Oh, an Activision sale on Steam. And there are some games that I'm interested in. Well, let's double check reviews and the forums to make sure they run okay. Just in case.
Prototype! Badly optimized and doesn't run in Windows 10. Well, crap.
Amazing Spider-Man! ...poorly optimized, crashes, especially in Windows 10. Hurm.
Spider-Man Shattered Dimensions. Doesn't run in Windows 10.
Oh well. It was a nice thing to consider. Guess I'll save my money for games that actually fucking work."

Whoops, I lumped it in with the others. Double checking, there's no mention of Windows 10. But it does appear to be poorly optimized.

Hrm, I don't remember having any performance problems with it in the past, and I doubt it's gotten worse in the last 7 years...

Welp, the worst I can do is buy it and try it. If it doesn't work, I can refund it. So I'm installing it now. I love Prototype and played/beaten it many times. It wouldn't rank high on my list of favourite games, but I greatly enjoyed it. Shame Prototype 2 seems to be a worse mess, optimization-wise. Certainly for anyone - like me - with an AMD card. :/
Prototype 1 works just fine. Prototype 2 is Meh.
Yup, that appears to be the case. Just finished the first level and it's running just fine! Game on!
Transformers: Devastation is 25 bucks on Steam.
The one before TFD was Rise of the Dark Spark, which I didn't play but heard nothing but awful things about. The two from High Moon were great (War for/Fall of Cybertron), though a little redundant, but pretty faithful to the good parts of the source material. I haven't had a chance to try Devastation yet, but I enjoy beat 'em ups and the like so I figure it'll be fun for an hour or so here and there. The art style is right out of the 80's and they got almost every original VA they could, which is pretty impressive for Transformer-weebs like me.

Supposedly they want to try and do the whole EU thing that's working wonders for Marvel, like everyone else with nostalgia-inducing IPs seems to be.
