If you don't count the Rock Band bundle with all the instruments then it was probably the $80 I spent on the Mass Effect 3 CE.
-
I am less likely to pay for a LE the more expensive it is.
-
Oh yeah, I won't pay more than $10 for DLC unless they've *really* convinced me it's a large expansion and worth the money. Same goes for XBLA/PSN-type games.
-
Good point, actually. Still think it's stupid to absolutely require it rather than just saying it's a cool bonus of playing online, but that would be a possible non-DRM justification.
-
I'll buy games I'm really really excited for at $60 (or higher if there's a LE I want). I'll pay $30-45 for games I'm pretty interested in but not just dying for, depending on how interested I am. $10-20 for games I'm on the fence about. $5 is my impulse point.
-
I do like the calling in your assassins. It's an easy way to kill officials if nothing else. I only used bombs like once in the whole game though. And yeah, AC3 will definitely have other systems, I just am hoping it's not the tacked-on ones that the Ezio trilogy has introduced.
-
Yeah, I'm hoping that AC3 fixes some of that. I'm optimistic because it's been in development by a separate team since the end of AC2, so it hopefully hasn't been as affected by the feature creep of the Ezio trilogy.
-
Yeah, on US amazon the PS360 versions are down about 15% ($52 from $60) and the PC version is down 30%.
-
Yeah, though tbh the cape thing was a little silly from an in-world perspective. From a game perspective it was nice. You know what I think my favorite thing to do in these games is? As soon as a guard on a roof gets a little suspicious and says "hey, you're not supposed to be up here" kill them with a thrown knife.

http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2012/03/29/simcity-always-on-clarified-will-need-internet-for-every-launch/ So apparently it doesn't require a constant connection, just requires one to launch. While less draconian, that actually makes less sense. Saying "you must always be connected to the internet because of our deeply integrated online features" at least provides a plausible explanation other than DRM, but requiring a connection only at launch means it doesn't matter if you lose access to those features, which means its only purpose is DRM. But whatever, I can deal with connect-at-launch requirements. No longer boycotting this game.
-
Makes it a PITA to try to do other things you may want to be doing, because guards are constantly freaking out at the sight of you. But yeah, bribing heralds to talk about something else makes sense, as does tearing down wanted posters (though I feel like that shouldn't have nearly as big an effect as it did), but I don't understand how killing officials lowers your notoriety either.

She's from Stepford.

Mutant Ninja Turtles (not teenage anymore)

He's a witch! BURN HIM! *Edit* - Seriously though, this is ridiculous. You can reinterpret it without changing the entire backstory. I mean, it doesn't have to be exactly as explained in previous iterations, but the broad strokes need to be there. -
Well then make it so that this is two cycles after Aang, and she's a native earth bender. You could still have Tenzin be her master, he'd just have to be older. And honestly it being longer would make more sense given the amount of technological development that's happened.
-
It doesn't do nothing, even once you've unlocked all the dens if your notoriety meter fills all the way up the guards will start chasing you on sight (well, some of the guards, not that one neutral guard faction).
-
I got Fallout 3 used but then bought every piece of DLC that dropped for it, so overall I doubt Bethesda's too unhappy with me. And yeah, I agree that this rumor probably isn't true.
-
It's not a crime, it's not like the guards see you buy a building and start chasing you down, it raises the Templar's overall awareness of you. I think it makes sense: becoming a freaking land baron would raise your profile in the city and make it more likely the Templars would notice you. *Edit* - Though I'm okay with the buying buildings raising your awareness, I do think they should have left in the wanted posters to avoid damaging the flow of the game. Apparently you won't be buying shops and stuff in AC3 like you do in the other games though.
-
Yeah... those should be prosecuted too...
-
Installing the OS should be easy, usually you just pop the dvd in the drive and it should auto-run (though you might have to mess with your computer's boot order if it doesn't) and then during the installation process you choose which drive you want to install it to. If you're worried you might get the drives mixed up I have in the past disconnected all hard drives except the one I'm installing to so I only have the one option.
-
Yeah, I won't buy it at any price (unless and until they get the message and patch the DRM out like they did for the AC games) because I don't want to support the practice. Now, if they change their tune and remove the requirement before release I will preorder all over that shit.
-
Oh, sorry, I thought you meant the aiming felt better. Yeah, but in a shooter that's like that the problem can also be solved by getting a gaming mouse with multiple buttons. I think the nature of the running in Assassin's Creed requires an analog control option to work well (true analog, not analog-mapped-to-8-direction like some PC gaming keyboards do). I also think that the combat in games like Assassin's Creed or Arkham City works better with a controller; the extra mouse buttons work fine for activating abilities and things like that, but face-buttons tend to work better for melee-combat-oriented games where you're pressing them repeatedly and rapidly switching between them.
-
But when an FPS is better on controller it's because they didn't port it well, so you end up with controller look-movement characteristics on a mouse, which doesn't work well.
-
See, I don't think it does get you talking about "that samsung ad", it just gets you talking about "that crazy ad where they project shit onto a guy's face". All it advertises is itself. The brand isn't even mentioned that I saw until the very end, and I don't think most people would remember the brand for more than a minute or two after the ad. Hell, I'd already forgotten the brand when I came back in here to talk about it some more, I just remembered it was some kind of phone.
-
lol, that's not a confusing statement at all.
-
But what I'm saying is that even if they make the K/M controls as good as possible, the nature of the game is more conducive to a controller, so they could still be recommending a controller even if they'd given it TLC.
