Export thread

So, I was talking to a buddy of mine who VERY STRONGLY recommended that I play this game.

As I value his advice and the fact I've got one week to kill till Skyrim comes...

I bought the game....

And it is... AWESOME

Seriously.... old school RPG with GREAT humor. Halloween based. It's so over the top but not in a way to turn you off... just... awesome.

Anytime you can tell your Statue of Liberty to heal everyone and watch an Eagle fly across the screen is beyond awesome.

Did I mention this game is awesome and worth the few bucks you throw it in it's general direction?

Aw! XBox live and Playstation network only.

$10 on STEAM is a bit more than I'd be willing to put forth, even if it does look fun.

I'll help the poor ol' doddering fool out:
Costume Quest on Steam

EDIT: What really sucks is that it apparently went on sale at some point recently, and Steam never put it on their news feed, their twitter account or anywhere else I usually check. Bullshit.

Yeah, I got this a few months back. This plus the expansion "Gibbons on Ice" is a lot of fun... I'd say it's at least 20-25 hours without the expansion, more if you get that. It's full of cute Halloween hijinks and Double Fine's notorious humor. It's definitely a tad on the easy side though and there is basically zero replay value.

I'd say it's worth ten bucks... it's kinda pricey for a market title, but it's highly polished and a lot of fun. They expansion ends on a cliff hanger, so I hope we see more of it someday.

It was on sale on Halloween for $5 and I picked it up because I remembered hearing great things about it.

Only an hour or so in (I started playing Bastion recently too) but I'm thoroughly enjoying it.

Weird. I went right to their site and it only said XBox and Playstation. Guess I should have checked Steam.

I highly recommend picking this up, and as for what Shego said, this game is a steal at 10.00.

What's the control scheme like on the PC?

WASD to move, E and SPACE to interact, SHIFT and Q for special stuff or in combat.

Or, use your xbox 360 controller. No PC gamer should be without one.

Yeah, but you might need an adapter to use it. I know mine is wireless, so I need the adapter.

I've gotten a lot of use out of mine. Sounds like I'll be using it to play Costume Quest if/when I get it.

PC Controls are limiting but honestly? I don't mind it in this game.

Mine's wired, plugs right into a USB port and works out of the box.

I picked this up last year when it was first released on PSN. Played it Halloween night. It's now become an annual playthrough for me.

The wired versions will work as plug and play while wireless ones need the adaptor.

I just finished the main game. In a little under 6 hours, and I got all the achievements. How did it take you more than 3 times as long?

I loved the game though. Costume Quest is a true gem. It doesn't do anything new, in terms of gameplay mechanics, but it's such a joy to play. I'm glad it was a short as it is, and I'm looking forward to playing Gibbons on Ice.

No, it's only one chapter. I probably spent longer because I ground out all the fights and such.
