$30 is a good price for the game but it is four years old now, I just think it is going to be a hard sell.

I'd still take a PC version of Red Dead Redemption...
Dragon's Dogma does look pretty interesting (and got a nice review from ACG) but I'm slightly over-encumbered with games right now. Actually, more like completely buried in the bastards. It's honestly hard to breathe.

Dragon's Dogma is an excellent game, and is pretty unique in a number of ways. The expansion (built into PC version as well as the preorder bonuses) adds a large and challenging area to the game packed with powerful enemies, I had a lot of fun with it.
If you're even remotely interested in games of that type you will probably enjoy it. The combat is where the game really shines, it's like Shadows of the Colossus meets Dark Souls, with a little Witcher. But even that's not fair as I said, it's pretty unique and at $30 it's easily worth it. The way your Pawn (companion) is able to be recruited and become a party member of other players and vice versa is a neat idea that I don't recall seeing anywhere else.
I first played it on the PS3 with a controller, and I am finding the mouse and keyboard works just fine with it as well. I actually like it a little better because it's more responsive. So in my opinion they did a better job than most of making the controls PC friendly. The monsters are the best part, they are fun to fight against and are very well designed.. The class system is also nice to explore as you can jump around at will, for the most part.

It's quite good if you're into that sort of stuff. Personally, I'm not, however, I'd still praise the game. My housemate did play it on PS3 and he's also a big Dark Souls fan - the two games are somewhat comparable in gameplay. The PC release doesn't seem like a straight port - seems they've touched up the game to look even better, which is a big plus, too. When I mentioned it today, my housemate was really interested in playing it on PC.gmaverick019 said:
I'd recommend the game on PC whether you've played it before or not - if you have - hey, there is another chance to play it. It's also at 60 FPS. If you haven't - hey, it's a good game. It is about battling big monsters in a grand fashion - somewhat similar to Dark Souls but it's less...dark, I guess.
The Last of Us - I've played it on PS 3 but, damn, I don't like shooting with a controller.gmaverick019 said:
Lollipop Chainsaw - I've started it on PS 3. I didn't actually finish it. Not much of a reason - I think I just got sidetracked with a different game. At any rate, I'd be up to it being ported on PC.
Bayonetta - this one I also started on PS 3. And I also didn't finish it. There was a reason for it, though - that fucking performance drop. When the game starts crawling to 15 FPS at times, and that happens fairly regularly, I dropped it. Other than that, I really liked it - pretty similar to Devil May Cry and I loved DMC3 on PC - I've done every single thing in there and played through it on all difficulties multiple times. Yes, on PC - using the keyboard for control, no less. I liked the game that much. Bayonetta is pretty similar in terms of gameplay - I'd have probably done the same. If it's on PC, I'd finally have the chance. I haven't really had an Xbox to give it a go - I've heard the performance there is way better.
There's two games I'd like on PC, one last gen, one this gen.gmaverick019 said:
Dragon Crown - I played it at a friends house, and liked it a lot. Plus, you know...
Bloodborne - I keep hearing how absolutely awesome this game is, and it looks fantastic. But I'm not buying a PS4 for it.
Both of those games, of course, falls square into the never in a million years category. If Dragon Crown was going to come out for PC, it would have already, and Bloodborne is a game Sony payed for.
What games I missed?
Journey, mostly. It's a ***** to buy stuff from the PS3 app store, and back when it was a thing I didn't really have a solid internet connection with my PS3. Dragons Dogma was in a way one of them, but that was before I got a good look at the grind between the epic fights against the bigger beasties so I'm less inclined to buy it on PC now. And honestly I really wanted Viva Pinata as well, but my 360 died before I could get my hand on that.
I think I have more games I missed from the generation before that one, back when I was just really getting into gaming and didn't have a bunch of disposable income. Killer 7, Viewtful Joe, Pikmin, Battalion Wars, Timesplitters 2, and those are just the games I can play because I have a GameCube. I experienced barely anything from the PS2, so there's a ton of games that in hindsight look really good to me.
