Tried to start Knife of Dunwall the other night, but as soon as I started the first mission I quickly remembered how Dishonored was and how much fun I had taking my time to explore and remain undetected. So I decided that right now I don't really have enough free time to properly enjoy it. Once finals are over in a few weeks, I'll give it the time it deserves. It took me almost a month to play through Dishonored for the same reason, and I feel like my enjoyment of the game suffered a bit from being stretched over such a long period of time. So instead, i've been playing Trials Evolution Gold whenever I have some free time. Goddamn that game is fantastic. I'm starting to run into some seriously difficult tracks but it's just so insanely fun. I'm usually wary of paying upwards of 10$ for smaller games like this, I'll only occasionally take the plunge on a 15$ title. But this one was worth every cent of the 20$ I paid for it.

Meh, I wasn't trying to call him an idiot or anything. I just think it's a pointless attitude to have.
-
That's kind of a stupid attitude, imho. Sure, it was disappointing that they were turning XCOM into an FPS, but now that a proper XCOM has come out, I wouldn't mind getting the shooter. The original gameplay they showed had a nice visual style to it. At this point, it probably has nothing to do with what they showed back then, though.
-
Eh, if they never knew you were there then it still counts. That's how I played most of them. Non-lethal and undetected. A bit more difficult to pull off in Conviction, but that game was super easy anyway, so it was a welcome challenge.
-
To be honest, the shooting isn't all that great in Infinite either. I wouldn't go as far as some people and claim that it's outright bad. It's just never been the series' main strength. It's.. serviceable. The customization is better in the original, though. And that makes combat a bit more interesting. And then you throw in the photography mini-game. Infinite's combat feels a bit more bare bones in comparison.
-
Yeah, I was kinda disappointed when I realized half the tracks weren't new. I still like it, though. I'll probably get sick of it pretty quickly but I really like his sound (the whole 80s action movie soundtrack vibe) so for now I'm enjoying it.

I don't think the original BioShock is dated at all. Might not look as great as more recent titles, but honestly, who gives a shit about graphics. Also, the original has pretty much ruined water effects in games for me. Now, whenever I can walk through water falling down, I have to look up. In most games, you basically just clip through a flat texture with an animation on it, and as you look up it's like you're standing in the middle of a sheet of paper or something and it kills the illusion right there. In BioShock, your vision gets all blurry and filled with water. Small detail but a really nice touch, imho. And it's a damn good one! My heart almost jumped out of my chest. It was awesome. I didn't find the original to be scary at all, though. Creepy? Maybe a bit. But every time someone talks about how scary they thought it was, they just sound like huge pussies.

*sigh*... new trailer... http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=9Ey4GQY_kJg This fucking voice... I just... ugh...
-
Yeah, re-reading his post, I was starting to wonder whether he actually meant the ending or earlier...
-
Actually, if I remember correctly,

I heard it's good but there is no way in hell I am buying anything directly through GFWL.
-
Man, I really need to keep better track of this shit. Back in december I was super psyched about Kavinsky's LP coming out. Then just now I find out it came out 2 months ago... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VdVUkCLA-CE

Went to see Evil Dead last night. It was alright. It's obviously nothing like the originals and I thought the tone was a bit too serious, but it was enjoyable enough. Definitely has its moments but it's mostly played straight. So there's never anything quite as amazing as this
-
Pro tip: there's pretty much always one. Whenever one expires, they'll put up a new one like a week later, at most. I missed out on using the last one for Knife of Dunwall earlier this week but I held off on buying since i knew there'd be another one before it came out. Also, this is a pretty useful sub http://www.reddit.com/r/gamedeals

Ah, didn't think to post it. It's usually pretty easy to find any vouchers if you head over to the GMG blog. It's linked at the top of the store.
-
That's kind of the problem with Civ multiplayer. The more people you have, the more complicated it is to play the game to the end. Unless you finish in a single sitting, I guess, but that could be long as hell.
-
Been trying to avoid pre-ordering lately, but this is Dishonored. I already know it's amazing. 20% off on GMG using the new voucher. Hardly a massive discount, but hey, better than nothing.

http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2013/04/12/impressions-civ-v-brave-new-world/ Looking pretty good. Seems like much more of a game changer than G&K was.
-
Really? That's... disappointing to hear. I could never get into Far Cry 2. I played something like a dozen hours across two different games ( had to restart it at some point) and didn't get really far in either one. I just couldn't get into it. Combat was fun and the whole fire thing was amazing but all that travelling was just so fucking tedious. I'm usually not a big fan of open-worlds in FPS. It's the same reason I never finished STALKER, come to think of it.
-
It sounds like the gameplay is largely the same. Just a completely different style and aesthetics. What didn't you like about FC3, though? I haven't played it myself but I've been hearing nothing but praise for it.
-
So... this is fucking amazing. I am so buying this day one. Really glad this is standalone because I haven't gotten around to buying Far Cry 3 yet.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EA1s9v2Ab8w Looking pretty good. I'll really have to properly dig into Dark Souls this summer.
-
I like Superman a lot but all of his stand-alone stories I've read were average at best. He's at his best when he's interacting with other characters, like in the Justice League stories. Hell, even the crossover with just Batman and Superman are infinitely more interesting.
-
Why settle for a single character? They should do a Justice League game!
-
I'm more interested in post-AC Hush considering how that side-quest ends. Also, yeah, don't think Joker will be a major player. They already talked about the plot a bit and it's about Black Mask calling a hit on Bats. So, it sounds like he's the main bad guy as far as I can tell.
