BTW, anyone else here have or playing Alice Madness Returns?

Turns out EA was hiding DLCs from us, and just ran into this little tweak to unlock it.


Go to My Documents/My Games/ Alice Madness Returns/ Alice Game/ Config

Open the AliceEngine.ini and Do a search (CTRL+F) for:

GIsSpecialPCEdition=False

Change False to True and Save it.



Now you have the DLCs!!

You'll also have a option to play the original Alice as well, but it will CTD if you choose it, Since those files are truly missing. The DLC for dresses however, is there.



When you start Alice, go to the section where you change outfits (X on the 360 Controller, not sure what the KB button is) and you'll see a few new dresses with perks you can wear.



Heres 1 of the dresses (think you get 5):

thanks for letting us know i still have my savegames and need to finish AMR.. i read somewhere that developers already added the DLC's with the PC version but why they hide it? also it was locked at 30FPS but thanks to Unreal Engine INI that most of us are easily able to tweak it as well and get constant 60FPS

Downloaded Both Trine's 1&2 looks like a great adventure game

EA done the same thing with Dead Space 2.

The DLC was already in the game at launch, then they charged people for it.
They also said DLC wouldn't be available for the PC, only on consoles.

Both games were a ini fix changing False to True to unlock it.


Kinda sad when you think about it. Thats not DLC. Thats charging people to unlock somethign they already have.
Not sure its so easy on the consoles though.

currently playing LA Noire - great game, was having lagging/stuttering that was almost unplayable until I entered "-str" in the command line at startup and now its smooth as silk.

also playing deus ex: HR and fallout new vegas through the steam sales lately - loving both games

Good question!! I did a quick google search when I first starting playing and found this. I thought what the heck, tried it and thankfully it worked like a charm

This should give you better frame rates, at lease playable rates. as per the game readme file the above procedure enables a single threaded renderer, which may improve performance or compatibility on some systems.

haven't got anything worthwhile

I do have a bunch of coupons though.
So if anyone thinks they may buy any of these games on Steam, before March 1st you are more than welcome to them, otherwise they will just expire unused.

I already have most of them, and wont be buying anything else for a good while. Spent to much this last week

I just finished Jurassic Park the Game.

Ive seen many reviews say this game was horrible. Im not sure what was so bad that it got all the bad hype TBH.

Although I don't think it was nearly as bad as it was made out to be, it wasn't particular great either.

I did enjoy it to an extent & think if you go into it not expecting too much .. and know what to expect gameplay-wise, you may get some enjoyment out of it as well.







As far as gameplay, you have no direct control over any character. Ive hear it plays like Heavy Rain, but never played that game so not sure about that.


You can survey a scene, and have several choices to have them investigate or go to. Converstions work something like the Mass Effect Wheel.

The game is basically like watching a interactive movie.
You just have to press the correct buttons at the right time. (Quick time events?)
And in some cases, you have choices which will determine what will happen next.

There are a few puzzles to solve that require switching back and forth between characters, and worling together as well.



The story itself isn't particularly good, but it isnt horrible either. No better or worse than the typical movie.

The major downside is that its short. A single playthrough will be over in about 6-7 hrs.
But, you can also go back and replay to get all achievements you missed, or explore other outcomes.

I dunno, although it wasn't particularly great, I did enjoy it.
I found myself curious what would happen next, or often looking like a idiot at the edge of my seat mashing the crap out the "A" button on my controller as fast as I could trying to run from a T-Rex LOL.

But I will say this about it. For those remotely intersted in checking it out, the regular price for it is $29.99. At that price it is NOT worth buying.
If you can find it on sale like I did for $10-$15, then it becomes worth considering.

Started Saints Row 3 this weekend.

After coming off of Skyrim, the game really seems completely stupid But of course it's meant to be.

The street battles can get pretty fun after a while.

Not sure how much staying power it'll have. Would still rather be playing Skyrim but I ran into the dreaded save game bug and atm I do NOT feel like rolling a new char just to finish off the game

Skyrim the last 2 months and Skyrim for the next months

I have over 150 hours in SR3. And that's only 3 story playthroughs. Mostly messing around the city. So much fun

What Im playing now
So far its a lot of fun, more so than I thought it would be.
Although .. it is a bit whacky and far fetched at times.

 

[StalkeR]

I'm still playing Saints Row 3. Very good game. I'm at 17% of game, I think.

 

[Wishmaster]

Ive seen some crazy and hilarious stuff so far playing SR3.

But I just finished the mission where you help Zimos .. and OMG ....
Could get any more insane LOL

And the :Can you make it go faster" comment was priceless

A couple of my friends have told me to get this game (SR3) but what you said above is the reason I haven't gotten it yet. After seeing everyone's posts about liking this game so much I may have to re-consider.

I bought Bioshock for $5 during recent Steam sales. I thought I would give it a try since I haven't played it yet. With all of the great reviews this game got when released I figured $5 was a pretty good deal. So far I am really liking it (great story).
