grinninglich: Are you giving money to Phil Fish? :)

amok: I bought his game, so yes I did. It is only fair that he gets his share, as I am going to play it also. As long as you do not give a full split to charity, then I think anything else would be unethical.
You know, I agree that Fish can be unlikeable, but he makes a darn good game. I had already purchased Fez on GOG, but I was thrilled to give him whatever his default % due was on Humble if just for the fact that the game is awesome and I would like to encourage him to make another game. I can only think of one other recent platformer that gave me that much joy, and it was freeware (Treasure Adventure Game). I'm still holding out hope for Fez 2.

I'm so happy you said that, TAG is one of the best games I played and I bought FEZ because I think I might get similar feeling playing it.

Having just tried Fez, it's obvious that he dislikes the PC as a platform. He certainly didn't put any effort into making a proper port. A pity, since the game itself seems to be actually very good.

What do you feel would have made it a "more proper" port?

For starters, stripping out the hard-coded XBox controller in-game instructions, and replacing them with whatever control scheme the player is actually using.

Hardcoded XBox controller in-game instructions = lazy moneygrubbing bastard.

Um, I'm playing the game right now, and asides from the gameplay glitches I've found, they seem more related to the game itself than the port.

You mean the same stuff that big companies don't even bother to do? Sheesh. :P

They too are lazy moneygrubbing bastards. Same rules all around ;-p

I guess. Of course, you don't notice something like that if you actually have an X-Box 360 controller for Windows (of all the gamepads I've used in the past 15 years, it's been the best, not to mention most durable, I've had).

I immediately uninstalled every game that showed me Xbox buttons in options and tutorial even though I am not using one.

I regret nothing :P
Grabbed for FTL and FEZ! Yeah!

I already had Trine 2, I'm confused about the "Complete" thing. Steam says I already have Complete but I don't think I ever bought any DLC. Is the Goblins thing considered DLC? When I right-click and check "DLC" it says I have nothing. In the game it gives me the option to buy "Complete", which brings me back to the Steam page that says I already have it. Very confusing.

And I just got an XBox 360 controller yesterday for my Mac. Totally worth it. I also recommend "Joystick Mapper" on the app store... not as comprehensive as ControllerMate but not anywhere near as expensive.

Disable controller support through "Setup FEZ Launch Options" and it'll show you keyboard controls instead.

I had this answer from steamgifts.com:

So basically:
• They renamed Trine 2 to "Trine 2 Complete Story"
• They renamed the Goblin Menace DLC to "Complete Story Upgrade"
• If you already owned Trine 2, you now own "Trine 2 Complete Story", but not the "Complete Story Upgrade" (so no Goblin Menace for you unless you pay extra)
• Existing Goblin Menace DLCs in Steam inventories now act as "Complete Story Upgrades"
• They renamed the Collector's Edition to "Trine 2: Soundtracks & Artbooks"
• The actual "Complete Story" update is just the Dwarven Caverns stuff from consoles and probably some other shit

Man, what a clusterfuck.
Hope that helps.
^ Holy mackerel.

Yikes.

So the version in this bundle is the Complete Story Upgrade?

I suppose I can try the no-DRM version and see if it's included there... I wonder if I add the Steam key if it will automatically upgrade me to the upgrade version..?

Smelly fish ;-p
