Skidrow made an offline crack but so what? The controls are biggest mockery of PC gaming I've ever seen. Seriously, whoever decided on that - rape him with a rusty pickaxe.

Foolishly I thought this thread would be about the game. Has the ..er, dust settled yet?
(http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2011-12-28-games-of-2011-from-dust-article) Eurogamer seem to like it saying it does actually open up to some sandboxy emergence.

It's cheapish until next week anyway. Quick, someone tell me it's good.

POPULOUS 4(5??)!!!

No.

Muz: It's intriguing at the very least - it's playful, but as a game with concrete gameplay mechanisms and multiple interlocking systems to faff around with, it's a bit wanting. PC version's a bit of a clusterfuck at the current time. No video options and a 30FPS frame cap.

Cheers. I guess the trick with this situation is I don't really like god games much, so the god game that typical god game players don't like very much could still be alright. Would still be a bummer if it turned out a bit thin.
hmm, I guess it'll be cheap again at some later date.

(http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/from-dust-pc-2-99-green-man-gaming-1107784) £2.99 from GreenManGaming, good sir?

That'd be a steal. The saving doesn't seem to extend to Aus though, for whatever reason.

Hem, I've never used GMG; can they be gifted if I were to buy it for you?

Muzman on 3/1/2012 at 23:52

Why thanks! But I'm too slow by the looks. Worth looking into in case any deals come up in future though. Cheers
Looks like they have some weird trading system, including trading in old games for credit which seems bizarre with digital downloads.

Hey, it's $5 on steam now in some midweek madness thing. I figure, what the heck. It looks interesting.
