Man shut up Thief is great! good! *Edit* - To be honest, I think I enjoyed Thief more than Deus Ex, which just felt cheap and small to me. I mean Thief had kind of a similar feeling, but it not being an RPG I didn't have as high of expectations in that department. I did enjoy DXHR, but don't think it's just amazing or anything.

Wow @ the previous conversation... Anyway: PS4 is finally getting the ability to offload gameplay clips and screenshots to a USB drive! Fuck yes!

How lost would someone who's never played Metal Gear before be if they were to jump in at this point?

The problem with the games you listed though is that they have already come out, and I have already played them, and I don't want to get the same thing again But In VR.

I'd rather play Fallout 4 or Elder Scrolls VI.

Perfectly valid reasoning to me.

South Park: The Stick of Truth. I really liked it a lot. The only glitch I encountered was in a few cutscenes characters were appearing and disappearing, but it was after I had alt-tabbed so I wonder if that had something to do with it. It only happened in that one game session. *Edit* - Took me just over 15 hours to finish, although I did pretty much every sidequest (I believe the only one open is I'm still missing one of the hobos).

This game is so gorgeous.

The only true VR.

Source. This could be read as implying that the view through the actual headset will be stereoscopic, but you're right I haven't seen anything explicit. I didn't even notice until you said something though, just assuming that it's stereoscopic. Otherwise it's not VR.

More polygons on screen means more work for the graphics hardware, more memory required, etc. By having things get crappier when they're farther away you can increase the amount of stuff you can have without a significant impact to image quality. The term is "level of detail".

Maybe I should revise my definition: the "length of the game" is the average amount of time a player who actually finishes the game spends on it before moving on to something else. For games that can be finished anyway. But yeah, while length may be a good measure for some games, it's definitely not for others.

Well I for one welcome our new cute-as-a-button overlord. That second anime drawing might be my new Favorite Thing.

I haven't seen the movie, but in the book

Yeah, I put something north of 350 hours into Fallout 3, but I'd never claim it was a 350 hour game.

I'd say it's somewhere in the middle. IMO the "game length" is the amount of time the average player will get out of it before moving on to something else.

10 hours? I've been hearing 2. Counting the side stuff.

I'm a console owner too. It does help.

I need to try and beat it this week before I get Infamous on Friday.

I think it's pretty sad. That is one hell of a ripoff of a game, from everything I've heard. Should have been at most like $15. *Disclaimer - I have not played it, and the reports about it could easily be wrong.

I played the exact same Firefly scenario with my wife, my sister and her boyfriend yesterday. My wife ended up kicking all our asses (she won with $15k when my sister's boyfriend and I were both tied for 2nd at about $7500). Really early in the game though she hired a dude who let her draw one fewer misbehave card each time she misbehaved, so that let her be able to tackle some higher paying jobs early on. We made a house rule that you could still deal with Harken after you had cleared your starting warrant, but nobody ever did so it didn't change the game any. After that game I was actually thinking the opposite of you and that maybe it would be more fun to do some of the more involved scenarios.

Why are you switching entirely to digital if your internet is slow enough that you expect it to take that long to download?

I will admit that I laugh out loud at movies when I think other people will often just not. Like I'll laugh out loud at shit like The Importance of Being Earnest.

I can't either, but I guess I would just say there aren't many good comedies so maybe I'm actually the one that's hard to please. I'm okay with stuff just being enjoyable to watch, but if it's advertised as a comedy I want it to be FUNNY.

How can a comedy with 5-10 good laughs be "good"?
