  1. I have to admit, I did have some doubts as to Relic would actually make it good on the PC. After playing the demo, they have more than proved that they can. The controls on the PC feel natural and easy to use, and they got sprinting down to an art (as opposed to Gears of War where you could only sprint in one direction; which, honestly, was very awkward). And the executions. Oh, man, the executions, especially with the power axe. Reminds me of why I love WH40K and more. My only regret is that they didn't feature the Heavy Bolter in the demo, but it just gives me more reason to buy it.
  2. Damn it, Deus Ex. Hurry up and arrive at my house already.

      Pray to the UPS gods. You're wearing cargo shorts right?

  3. Ah, this thread. This will most likely become an outlet for my rants coming up soon. It would appear that I have signed a lease with an apartment who I only realized today had a very crappy reputation. Among which are bad security, loud noises, and horrible management. This year is going to suck.
  4. Does anyone know how to get the damn harpy traps to work in Witcher 2? I've all but given up on it and moved on with the story by now, but I'm still curious. Has anyone figured out how to use them?
  5. Skyrim to use Steamworks. Hmm.

  6. That BF3 Caspian Border trailer sure looks pretty. Very pretty. And cool.

      Renewed some of my faith in BF3. Looked like a good Gulf of Oman/Heavy Metal type map which is exactly what I wanted in the alpha.

      I want this game so bad.

  7. Wow, a reunion thread! Except I found reddit after I found Kotaku, so my username on reddit is completely different from Kotaku. I would wish it was the other way around, but then I wouldn't have found all you fantastic folks to converse, cajole, and discuss games with.
  8. Anyone watch Extra Credits? They've had their contract terminated by Escapist and are looking for a new group to pick them up. Until then, they'll air their episodes on YouTube.

      Read into both sides. Apparently the EC guys are also being dicks out of the blue (if the Escapist's statement is to be believed).

       

      Sounds like there's poor communication between the two of them. They oughta get that sorted out before either side taking their ball and going home.

      "It's ok to be dicks as long as we're both doing it. Maybe it'll confuse them."

      Sad, but good to know. They did some good work. Thanks.

  9. From what I hear, the police aren't intervening in order to not appear "heavy-handed" and have ruled out using water cannons as crowd control. Can't they use gas grenades, or even rubber bullets? It's not like they're going to open fire with live ammunition into a crowd of rioters, for crying out loud. People are having their livelihoods destroyed here.
  10. Anyone check out the Dishonored preview on PC Gamer? It looks mighty interesting.

      I did just now and the more I hear the more I like. Sounds like a game right up my alley and I can't wait to see it in action proper.

  11. For anybody interested, The Adjustment Bureau is available free to view on YouTube right now, along with The Dark Knight and The Bourne Ultimatum.

      You can always watch using a proxy like surfagain.com or something. That was the primary method of viewing for non-US people in the thread I found it on.

      Ah thanks, I can't see those 3 anywhere but I have spotted Tokyo Godfathers which I've been meaning to watch. Could take a long time to load at the rate it's going though. :/

  12. Anyone know how the Steel Storm map editor works? I've been working on my own campaign, but can't seem to figure out how to make triggers work, likewise with the exit pads.

      Haven't messed with it yet.

    Scrolls

    From what I understand of it, they aren't even suing him yet. They're just using the threat of legal action to try to have him change the name. This whole situation is just brewing out to be another repeat Tim Langdell case, only with different people.
  14. You know, when I saw the first reveal trailer for Brink, I actually thought that it was a single-player FPS/RPG hybrid from Bethesda. The Ark is large, and there are lots of places to explore and people to interact with. The audio logs also have a great deal of backstory to them. I wonder if it would have been better off that way. Given, what it is now isn't all that bad (not all that great, either), but the setting just seemed so primed for a singleplayer game.
  15. Eidos/SE should just stop releasing Deus Ex trailers and just release the damn game already.

      I think that the past 4 trailers they've released are saying the same thing in 4 different ways.

  16. I actually did finish it once, crazy as that sounds, on Adult Swim. Then I realized that while they did finish the anime, they never really finished the entire story (kind of anticlimactic given how many episodes the series ran for). I think the remaining episodes were created and released as Inuyasha: Final Act or something like that. 26 episodes that finally closed the whole dang story, methinks. Anyways, been watching my animes, nothing of worth to report. I did watch the most recent Hanasaku Iroha, and had something to say about it, but it eludes me now. Can't wait until Fall, though, that one's going to be one fun season chock full of stuff.
  17. Among other things, I, too, have played Borderlands. I also have a number of complaints, some of which have been said by people here already: -Ending sucked ass (THEVAULTISALIE) -Gun designs suck (in my opinion, they looked butt-ugly. Maybe if they used gun designs from Brink or something, that would be nice) -Lackluster enemies (though the bosses were pretty good) -Combat, at times, felt tedious -Monochrome color scheme. If I wanted to stare at a desert, then I'd probably go look at pictures of a desert. Though after seeing the GI preview on Borderlands 2, it looks like they're going to fix several of them, along with adding some new stuff.
  18. Freelancer mods, Y U SO HARD TO INSTALL?!

  19. Depending on how adverse the changes are, I may or may not pick this game up. The gameplay style of the Monk has piqued me very much, and I've always preferred hand-to-hand combat classes above all else in RPGs (where applicable, as not many RPGs like to use fists as primary weapons for a class).
  20. Judging by the recent hash of Diablo 3 news, it would seem that Blizzard is only Blizzard in name now. Activision has now wholly absorbed them into their massive profit machine.

      They did that from the start. The whole "We're still autonomous was just a bunch of BS strung to keep the sheep in line.

  21. The DE:HR reviews are slowly cropping up now. Seems to be pretty good.

      Yeah, that's why I've only been reading what people say and sticking my guns to media blackout towards HR.

       

      Though judging from comments, it's far from bad. Very, very far from bad.

      It had a fucking 10 hour demo leak online. We don't need reviews. It is widely agreed that it's a good game.

      But what if after the ten hours the game goes all Xen on us and screws everything up? It's happened before.

  22. How do these new status updates work? O_O You just enter it from the profile?

      As in where it says "pirandello" click it and poof status box

  23. I swear only within certain groups of friends and acquaintances and close family members. I do not swear in public out of respect for others. That's pretty much it. Unless we are arguing about the semantics of profanity or something, then I have about nothing to say about it, really.
  24. That video is super-old, dean, and work on the mod seems to have stopped since September of last year. Still hoping it would come out, though.
  25. So many names with "kamisama" in them this season. Kami-sama no Memechou Kamisama Dolls Actually, I think that's it. But I actually thought they were the same thing at one time.
