Why do you think Faith is annoying?
In the cutscenes she always seems so "I am serious thing is bad I no like bad thing very vague" which I suppose suits the character, but it seems a little bit forced. I rarely play singleplayer games though, so that could just be the fact that the last singleplayer game I played was Saints Row 3 talking.
On a similar note what are some good story driven games I could get for under £12 on steam? Sold my unusual and I don't think I should spend £24 on dota items.
I see you have Skullgirls in your wishlist, get it. It's really fun and easy to pick up if you haven't played much fighting games before. Plus, there's a ton of SG players here on subspuf. I can also really recommend Painkiller (Black Edition)
How easy is skullgirls to play without a controller? I've always assumed that with Fighting games a controller or fightstick is kinda necessary.
