  1. Man, past me is always doing shit that pisses me off.
  2. Vecha got me Sir, You Are Being Hunted as thanks for organizing this. I'd have done this years ago if I'd known I'd get all this extra swag! Thanks Vecha!
  3. Dragon Age would at least be a contender with all of those. But RDR is my favorite game of all time so it would still win. *Edit* - Also, the reason Monolith got the combat right the first time out is because they just lifted it directly from the Arkham games, also published by WB.
  4. Man I just could not get in to Child of Light, as badly as I wanted to. I played like 4 hours and just lost interest.
  5. Dragon Age: Inquisition. It's just such a return to form in every way after the disappointment of DA2. I haven't actually finished it yet, but I'm ~75 hours in so I think I can judge it fairly well. I think it even exceeds DA:O, which is one of my favorite RPGs of all time. *Edit* - Shadow of Mordor and Infamous: Second Son were both strongly in contention too, but really they're both just really solid games, nothing truly amazing. Also, for the first time since AC2 I don't think I'm going to get to the yearly Assassin's Creed game before the end of the year. Weird considering AC2, Brotherhood, AC3 and Black Flag were all GOTY contenders for me in their respective years.
  6. For a shooter that's practically never ending.
  7. I'm holding out for the PS4/PC version, whichever comes first. *Edit* - And apparently I already said that higher up on this same page... /facepalm
  8. I just keep thinking: what if instead of digitally they had sent in a special forces team to do the same thing in person, would it have been an act of war? I can't decide.
  9. Yeah, after I wrote that I decided I agree.
  10. It's not just releasing secrets though, they've also been destroying computer records (wiping hard drives after they steal all the data) and disrupting company operations. It's more like if French agents stole the scripts, burned everything else, and then hung around to interfere with Shakespeare afterward.
  11. Just analogizing to old-timey pre-digital espionage, which is typically not considered an act of war in the same way that a direct attempt to do damage is. As far as who did it, I obviously have no real information about that, that's just my guess.
  12. My guess is they have more specific information that they're not releasing. Anyway, I view it as an actual attack in the sense of attempting to do violence/damage, rather than the more intelligence-gathering type attacks you referenced. The fact that it's a cyber attack does not automatically change that. *Edit* - I am sure they weren't trying to start a war (or at least a re-escalation of the "current" war that exists on paper), but I do view it as an act that would justify a military response. That said, I think such a military response would be a colossally terrible idea.
  13. So jelly. I wish I reliably had people to play with.
  14. Well this is good: http://www.reuters.com/article/2014/12/22/us-sony-cybersecurity-usa-idUSKBN0JX1MH20141222?utm_source=twitter Also, Obama says it wasn't an act of war. I disagree with that, but can understand not wanting to get involved in rhetoric that could lead toward a re-initiation of military hostilities on the Korean peninsula.
  15. I think part of it is that prior to launch people were excited for Rage and expecting it to be the Next Big Thing, so compared to that it was a little bit of a letdown. Wolfenstein, otoh, I don't think anyone was expecting to be good, so when it was people were surprised and pleased.
  16. There's actually an explanation for why that's not the case later on.
  17. Does anyone know what those two characters just before the credits say?
  18. I actually had the checkpoint problem a couple times, but I usually don't quit in the middle of a level so it wasn't a big deal for me.
  19. So, as an apology to everyone who bought the MCC for its horrific multiplayer problems, anyone who played the game while connected to Xbox Live between launch and yesterday will receive a free month of XBL Gold, an exclusive in game nameplate and avatar, and, more excitingly, the ODST campaign ported to Xbox One. http://news.xbox.com/2014/12/games-halo-thank-you-to-our-fans This is especially awesome for me since the problems were all with multiplayer and I don't give two shits about multiplayer so I was unaffected, but get the bonus anyway.
  20. It's so weird that the official one can't make a direct bluetooth connection.
  21. Yeah, Burial at Sea Ep 1 is so so, but Ep 2 is amazing, and you need to play Ep 1 first obviously.
