My first was either bulbasaur, squirtle or charmander But now that I've made my bad joke, I think I recall picking charmander first. Was on my very first game, before I even owned a gameboy. A friend had loaned me his. I remember because he had also loaned me a gameshark and I had given the charmander a ton of rare candy to make him level 100 while I only had like 2 badges. Fucker wouldn't listen to a goddamned command Normally a thread like this would make me all nostalgic and wanting to replay the game but the last time I played pokemon was Silver, and frankly I don't miss it one bit.

Frankly I don't know why anyone ever expected it to be drastically different from the first one. It's a sequel and one that is coming pretty quickly considering how much content these games have so it's not like they could've written a whole new engine or anything. The only thing that still bugs me slightly is the change in art style. When Flemeth showed up in the demo, I had difficulties believing it was the same woman I met in DAO. But that really has no bearing on whether it'll be a good game or not. I also miss the tactical overhead camera, but I hardly ever used it, so in my opinion it's no great loss. I'm willing to lose that if it means prettier indoor environments. Why would you use a gamepad on the PC version, though? For a game like this, wouldn't a keyboard and mouse feel infinitely more natural? I mean, in my opinion this is a game better enjoyed on the PC so I get why you would go for that version, but if you'd rather use a gamepad than a keyboard, then you probably should stick with the console version. At least that way the interface will have been designed around the gamepad.

Well, I might have remembered the details wrong, but I don't think so Oh and as for decisions, I see how it's great and all, but they also give me kind of a headache. When I was playing Dragon Age: Origins and the time came to pick a side as to which Dwarf should become king... I kept doing quests waiting for the game to tell me which one was the good one, and that just never happened, so I didn't know which one to side with They both seemed like assholes in their own way.

And what's that "other courier" thing? I thought I was taking my time and exploring the game slowly, but then I saw some comments on Kotaku referring to someone called "The Burned Man" or something like that and it was the first I ever heard about that guy, so it became obvious that I had missed at least some of what the game has to offer. But according to your sig you've already sunk like 70 hours in it, so you can't possibly have much left to do.

Same here, only I'd rather not wait so long to get back into it. Would be great to finish the game while the first 20 hours are still fresh in memory. I'm hoping that playing Dead Money will make me want to keep on playing. For some reason, the part of the main story where I stopped just seemed more like work than fun...

Yeah, Ogre gave me a hard time but it was easy once I started killing the small ones first.

So I searched and could not find a thread for this, which seems odd as I think I remember some people discussing it, but whatever. So, the Dead Money DLC just came out for PC ( and I imagine will for PS3 later on today). I haven't finished the main story yet (haven't played since the holidays, actually) but I've been meaning to get back into it and this DLC could be the reason to do so. Since I'm pretty sure at least some people here must have played it on 360 by now, I was wondering about something. I know it raises the level cap to 35, but do I need to be that high level to play it, or would I do fine on my current level (think I was around 20)?

Damnit, good thing I checked this thread. I looked on Steam and the demo wasn't there so I assumed it wasn't out yet...

Shhh, I realized my mistake and edited my post. Now shut up!

But.. but.. the PC has games

Yeah, that kinda pissed me off when I realized that as well. Nothing in the game ever really hints at there being one. Once I finished it, I just watched the other on youtube.

I'm not in a hurry to collect all the trophies. I started my NG+ on normal figuring I'd upgrade more guns before doing my Zealot run. Haven't touched it in over a week, though. I played for two hours when I started the NG+ (stopped right after meeting up with Daina) but then I got RDR, so I've been playing that instead. Oh and as for I'm pretty sure there aren't any. I remember reading somewhere that the Xbox 360 version has ONE checkpoint, and that checkpoint is only there because of the disc swap. So yeah, I'm not entirely sure I'll be going for the platinum I'll probably attempt Hardcore when I'm bored and have nothing better to play (i.e. during the summer), but I don't have high hopes of success.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure I've seen it at some point. I think it's somewhere around the mentions that you don't really own any of your games and whatnot. Every now and then someone from europe will claim that his country has some sort of customer protection law against such EULAs or something of the sort, but I never heard of anything coming from it.

Thanks, I had a quick look while in class and the interview bit made me laugh. Also made me realize I don't remember much of Indigo Prophecy's plot. I played it on PS2 when it originally came out. I grabbed it on Steam a few years ago, but the PC controls are just horrible, and the game won't detect my gamepad properly, so I haven't replayed it yet. I'll read that more attentively later on, but I just wanted to say that I like Cage's games not for his writing (which is admittedly lacking) but for the way they present gameplay differently. Anyway, enough off topic now.

I'm not sure, really. Whenever stuff like that is brought up on the Steam forums, the Valve Legion gets all up in arms about how it's all in the EULA and how buying games on Steam means agreeing to it. Though I think in this particular case they might have just removed the game from the accounts instead of disabling them. I could be wrong, but it just seems like a special situation where Valve might have made an exception (since they were apparently forced by Activision to act).

Well basically disabling means your account is locked and you can't access it anymore. It can happen for a range of reasons, from you doing a chargeback because they wouldn't refund a game, to simply paypal screwing up your payment. Though a disabled account and a ban are two entirely different things. A ban is only VAC (Valve's anti-cheat system) related. You still have access to your account and games, you just can't play on VAC-secured servers anymore. And only Valve games and Steamworks games (Civ V, New Vegas and the last two COD, for example) use VAC.

Disabling it would be my guess. Which is my main fear with Steam: how a single little thing can cost you your hundreds of games. I love Valve and Steam, but I really hope at some point there will be some legal thing that prevents them from doing that. They should not be allowed to hold hostage like that games you've already paid for.

Hey, now, what do you have against David Cage? He makes cool games... he just has, well... let's say "difficulties" when it's time to come up with an ending.

What?! Damnit! I was expecting some kind of warning from Steam... Like "Hey, this just got added to your game library!" Now I see the game's store page says it's available... but this figures. It comes out the minute I stop actively trying to figure out when it comes out... Stupid irony Anyway, thanks for the heads up, man. I'll be downloading it as soon as tonight's episode of The Big Bang Theory finishes downloading Also, turns out those rumors that Telltale are working on a Walking Dead game were true! http://ps3.ign.com/articles/115/1150836p1.html

Holy crap, thanks for posting this, Jack! It somehow completed flew by my radar. Can't wait! Though I wonder why it's more expensive than BTTF. Which brings me to my next question: where the hell is BTTF Episode 2?!?

Yeah, you weren't kidding! I was focusing mostly on RDR for the first few days, but I played 3DDGH for a bit the other night and holy crap that game is awesome! I'm hesitant to play it more because I'm afraid I'll burn right through it. I only completed the first temple so far, but the nostalgia was insane. It reminded me how much I loved A Link To The Past back in the days. Darksiders gave me kind of a small Zelda fix a few weeks ago, but this is much more similar. I think I'm gonna have to get a Zelda title for my DS at some point. The last one I played was Wind Waker...
