I'm definitely asking for a gift card of some sort for my birthday or Christmas.

The game's got a release date now. Expect to pick this baby up March 18th, 2016. I'm marking my calendar. Source

I make time for gaming because it is a priority in my life, despite being nearly 30 years old and working 2 jobs. I have a friend or two that I hang out with every now and then, but they share the same interests as me and also carve out time in their lives for gaming. Other than that, I don't have a boyfriend or any other obligations. Obviously, my work is a serious responsibility, so it takes precedent over my gaming, but it is the second most important hobby/interest of mine. It's just about priorities. If you feel spending time with a significant other is more important than getting in a few hours of gaming every week, then so be it. If you can squeeze in a few hours because you've got the free time, then that's how it is. My point being, if something--gaming or anything else--is important to you, you'll make time for it.

You level up a hell of a lot faster as your level progresses. After about...oh, maybe 10-11, I was getting EXP for 300, 500, sometimes 1000 points. I'm level 31 right now and nearing the end of the game, but I don't want it to be over.
-
Ok, so...I have the game. I beat it in two days at around 7-9 hours (could've been longer, I wasn't keeping track), and I got it for about $2.75 out of my own pocket. That being said, it's worth more than the two seventy-five I paid, but probably more like a $40 dollar game tops. I'd rate it around a 6.5-7, but only a 7 for SOME aspects of the game. Overall, I'd say it's worth a 6.5 without getting into any spoilers, but I will say this. It most definitely has potential. The game has done a lot of things right, but it also failed to impress me in many other aspects. The good news is that it did end on a cliffhanger, which could either take it in a good or a bad direction. I really hope Ready At Dawn decides to sequel this and learn from their mistakes. Not all the fans are right about what's wrong with the game, but many have good points and those points are voiced by several people with different subjective views about the game. Honestly, if they put out a sequel, and if it looked good and if they had heeded warnings and taken into consideration what they didn't do right with the first game, it could seriously blow it out of the water with a second release. I wanted to really love this game, but I just don't and that's kind of sad. I do, however, like a lot of things about it, and I am not going to trade it in. For now, I'm keeping it. I may pop it back in again just to play for the atmosphere (good lord, it is gorgeous), but for those who are pissing and moaning about it being too short and mediocre for a $60 price tag, just wait for it to go down in price--simple as that.

Aaaaand UC4 gameplay was amazing.

@Mal, I feel like it's only like that since it's scripted. If I do something like that on my game, I would probably die.
As I was watching it, I kept thinking why he's just leaving enemies behind like that, even the ones shooting him.
-
Nathan is starting to have a conscious. Also I think for the actual reveal, they played it live where they can more or less do what was done in the gameplay trailer. The guy clipped through the level and died.
-
I liked that he could just walk past the enemies, and use different melee tactics to fight them aside from shooting and punching.

Wish I could find a better deal on a Dualshock 4 controller than 40 bucks.

Be thankful you aren't UK side.
£55 minimum. That's like, what, $90?
-
I don't have any friends who are playing AC Unity, and I only have one controller, so I guess I'm SOL. But yeah, $90 bucks for a controller is ridiculous.
-
hey- I'm playing a mad ton of Unity online. hit me up

I'm glad they didn't have Joel die, not because I liked him a lot as a character for all those reasons you stated above about his development, but because it would have been almost too bitter sweet. They ended the game on a very perfect note and couldn't have done it any better, I feel. Death is so random at times, and not necessarily "expected" in situations such as these; although it would be more expected in a post-apocalyptic world where no one is safe, not even in the safe zones. For instance, you know when someone's going to die in The Walking Dead as they toss in subtle hints (or sometimes painfully obvious ones) throughout either an episode or an entire season. But with this game, I didn't know what was going to happen and that is a rarity for most games. In any case, I think kenshi explained his character perfectly. I don't think Joel wanted to die. That was made apparent by his, "You keep finding something to fight for," speech. He quite obviously was not ready to go yet, but that plot device didn't write out his fate and I think Naughty Dog was smart in sticking to the unexpected in this case as opposed to going for the obvious choice of having Joel die at some point in the game. Now, if they're planning to work on TLoU 2, who fucking knows at this point what they'll pull out of the bag. It seems more likely at this point that Joel might somehow come to meet his end. I also kind of feel like it'd be a bit of a cop-out in some respects. Ellie has lost so many people already, but what would losing Joel to her?
-
I would be much further along if I wasn't so enthralled with taking photos. T_T It's okay, though. I've already played the game all the way through at least 5 times.

I played it on Survivor a while ago last year and it sucked the first time. However, as much as I thought Survivor sucked, Grounded Mode is even worse. You literally get nothing every single time, and if you happen to come across ammo or any other items, it's usually one bullet or like a third of alcohol and it won't even do anything unless all you've been doing is collecting. This takes being stealthy to the next level. I can't say for certain whether your partner sometimes gives you ammo/health kit on any of the lower levels. Right now, I'm just playing it on normal and I think Ellie once tossed me some bullets, but it was few and far between. I could hardly hear it, though, since we were in combat and the noise died down only after I think she tossed something to me.
-
Here's a little bit of me tinkering with photo mode:

Well, remember UC3 does have back story as to how Drake and Sully met, as well as why he carries around the ring and who wants it, yadda yadda. It kind of dips into his childhood even more by talking about how he ended up where he did, so if that's something important to you then you probably need to at least watch videos of the third installment. Otherwise, it doesn't matter if you skip UC3 or not.
-
This pretty much sums it up for me. You guys know I'm a huge, huge, huge Uncharted fan, so I'm going to love it regardless. Even thought the third installment wasn't it's strongest, I still very much enjoyed the "narrative" some of you hate to have to hear about. In fact, it's what drew me in the first time. Naughty Dog knows what they're doing and they're good at it, too. However, this is my opinion, so I'm not going to expect anyone to agree with me. Regardless of how many people Drake has to shoot his way through to get to, there is much more to the video game that has captured my heart. I know they didn't show us much at this E3, but I went a little nuts just hearing Nolan North's voice and hearing Richard McGonagle as Sully. They're two characters I have fallen in love with, and I want more of that duo, of those subtle nuances, the way they bicker back and forth and joke with each other. I also enjoyed seeing how the graphics (albeit a cut scene) have improved vastly, and I look forward to seeing more about what the story will actually be about. This is just what I'm excited for, because I have enjoyed the last three games and because I trust Naughty Dog to put out some quality material. I'm not going to say it's perfect, though. There's always a chance it could bomb or my expectations could be ruined. I don't know yet and I will reserve my judgement for when I put the game in my PS4. But for now, I'm just happy we're getting another game and it doesn't feel as played as some of the other series. There's still a spark left to it for me.

I agree about the neon power. Out of all of them, I kept going back to neon and smoke. I wish there was a way you could easily combine the two, although they're vastly different, but for me: NEON ALL THE WAY.

Been freaking out for the last week about this pain on the left side of my abdomen. Turns out it's hemorrhagic cysts on my left ovary, and I may have endometriosis. Good news is that it's not cancerous, but the pain sucks and it needs to be monitored. *sigh* At least I know what it is now.

I would like to reiterate what TME said.
-
At this point, we're not going to do any kind of surgery. My step dad, who is a radiologist, said no doctor would do anything about it anyway UNLESS it ruptured and burst, which would cause much more pain than I am in now. At this point, all I can do is wait a few cycles and see if it goes away on its own. The problem with that is I do have to put up with the pain, which luckily isn't as bad as I've felt before, but is still enough to hurt.
-
Psh, doctors, they think they know everything.

Phone contract is up with Verizon and I NEED to leave them. Paying $90-some a month is just not feasible for me anymore, and I want to find something cheaper. I would prefer not to have to pay anything $70 or above, but I do want to upgrade my phone and I want to have reasonably reliable coverage since I use it as a business device for the most part. I was thinking Virgin Mobile's $35/mo plan. My averages are: MIN - 114-190 (I don't talk a lot), DATA - 1.33GB, and Unl...

My plan is only $30/mo w/ a 100 minutes. That + Vonage or Google Voice will cover the minutes when you go over 100. Or just pay the 10 cents a minute or whatever.
-
Only thing is, which phones qualify for the pre-paid plan? Or can I get any phone I want through T-Mobile?
-
Any GSM phone with T-Mobile compatible bands. There aren't different phones for the plan. I think you should just look at what phone you want before anything. Most likely it will be on T-Mobile.

The DS4 is my go-to PC controller now, especially since someone put out a driver that lets you use the touchpad as a mouse.

Congratulations! I'll join you all one day...

You must. It's heavenly.

I do love the Assassin's Creed franchise, but there were some issues with the latest one I just absolutely hated. I did love the historical game play, though, and Edward was fun, but that's about all I loved. I'm thinking I can skip it for now, as some of you have already mentioned. It just...you know, that feeling of having not played a piece a puzzle you've kept up with since the beginning.
-
I feel the same with tv shows, but the easiest thing to do is to not play the latest one. Distract yourself. I didn't get very far in Halo 4 before I stopped, now I have no desire to play another Halo game. It really does work. Same with TV shows when I stop watching them.
-
I just want another game to play! I don't want to keep playing TLoU over and over again. I don't want it to wear out its novelty.
-
I think you have to have been a fan of the series prior to really feel that nostalgia of what SimCity could and has been. 3000 and SimCity 4 are my absolute all time favorite PC games, but when 2000 rolled out prior to that, I was all over it and that is what started this love for me. It's a beloved piece of gaming history, and to see it so stripped apart and messed with in ways that don't benefit the game figuratively breaks my heart. I have to admit that I'm partial to it, which explains my willingness to give EA just one more chance. You bet your ass I'll give in and have another go!
-
For now, it appears they aren't going to be focusing on creating larger maps. They said so in an October blog article last year. That doesn't mean they won't explore it again once this "offline-mode" comes into play. I'm hoping they pick it up again, because there comes a time during my SimCity gaming experience that I simply cannot get anything out of my city anymore--and it comes fast (hehe, that's what she said). In any case, it's annoying and I hope they quit acting like shitheads about it. They said it would be damn near impossible to give the game an offline mode, which, as fans, we all knew was bullshit. Sure, it might've interfered a few seemingly important aspects of the game being online-only, but it is possible and they knew it just as much as the players did.
-
I'm interested because I already have the game. It just makes sense for me to at least check it out when they've patched this through. Of course, they've been releasing patch to fix other patches, so who knows how it'll work out. But I did shell out the money and the game COULD be interesting, especially now that it's opening up customer content, which is one of the reasons I loved playing the other SimCity games.
-
I know this game is old news, but here is some noteworthy news about the sorry joke of a game: http://www.gamesindustry.biz/articles/2014-01-13-simcity-reversal-ea-finally-adding-offline-mode Who knows, maybe they'll increase the sizes of the maps next?

Finally, EA has pulled their head slightly out of their ass and is bringing us what should have been available the first time around: http://www.gamesindustry.biz/articles/2014-01-13-simcity-reversal-ea-finally-adding-offline-mode

Yeah. Way too late. Not to mention some of the key mechanics being shit.
-
I'm going to give them the benefit of the doubt since I already own the game. It just makes sense to try and get some play out of it. Plus, I want to know what else they're updating this time around. I'm sure the other people who bought the game will be pretty happy, too. But I can understand it not being enough to convince others who hadn't yet not to go out and buy it.
-
I played that game for maybe three hours. Putting it offline isn't going to make me want to play it any more.
