This weekend has been killer though. Nothing Ive played has satisfied.

Tuesday at work will be brutal for me. Even worse is that I can't play too late on Tuesday night since I have to be at work at 4:45am on Wednesday.

I seem to be having a tough time with my VPN. I was just sorting it out to make sure tomorrow would go smoothly but everytime I log in I just get the usual UK store show up. I am definitely connected to Australia. This might take a while...

Yes, if you have one for 360!
Oops - nevermind, thought it was the preorder dlc
I have been getting through it with playing 999 and now VLR.
Gimme, gimme! =)
Ive been off and on with HL2 and have been binging on Deadwood =D
I picked up Hitman Absolution to pass the time. I think you guys made much better decisions than I did.
It's like having day old McDonald's before a properly cooked t-bone.
I'm playing the last case in Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney: Trials and Tribulations. Shit's intense, even though this is my fifth time doing it.

Any decent 360 footage posted? I'm worried about the 360s graphics.. I guess it doesn't matter
I prefer the 360 controller over the PS3 for FPS.

I have an unopened copy of 999 sitting on my desk here.
I should play that. I bought it after the Giant Bomb end of the year discussion a few months back, Patrick sold me on it.
I also have an unopened copy of Halo 4 sitting next to me, too. But fuck consoles, I don't even know why I bought that, I'll never play it. I don't even like Halo.

Damn dude. So Derrick....was right?
Was the lighting engine at least pretty cool looking?
Some of the best looking shots in the Bullshot thread are from Hitman.
I have Absolution rented from Gamefly right now. Started off really enjoying it, but it is becoming a bit dull. Using disguises sucks as well.
JDMC13, there's a Spoiler thread if you want to discuss anything about the game. It's best to keep it out of this thread.
I absolutely loved Absolution, I also loved Resident Evil 6 and Max Payne 3. Sorta loathed Dragons Dogma.
Gaf enemy number one.
Graphics/lighting are really nice, although the dynamic lights tend to pass through doors for some reason. I'm also really impressed with the number of NPCs they have in crowds. I'm having some fun with it and I got it fairly cheap but it seems like a game designed to make Derrick want to kill himself. The Instinct Mode is the worst assist mode I've ever seen added to a game. It gives far too much info but your disguises are worthless unless you're using it and you won't know what most buttons/switches do unless it's on.
Max Payne 3 was fucking amazing. No need to be ashamed of that one.
I also really disliked the demo for DD but maybe the full game is different.

As bad as that game is it really does look amazing.
That specific trial and Ghost Trick can never get stale.
Im going back to RE6 after Infinite and admittedly from what Ive played so far, I really like it. The fact its so different from its predecessors is what gives it some real charm to me. I know there will undoubtedly be some shit moments coming up though. So far however, I think its pretty damn cool.
MP3 was my GOTY 2012
You're a good man, Andrew.

Andrew is your Infinite ready!!!!
My Skyhook replica will be placed next to my MP3 statue XD
I'm jealous of the Skyhook replica. I would have no place to put it but it looks awesome.
Irrational rep told me it'd be delivered to my office on Wednesday so Ill have to go to work to pick it up, but Ill be sure to take some pictures.

I hated Absolution. Tedious. Getting around is just a constant pain in the ass due to the stupid way disguises work. The checkpoint system is horrific, and this in a game that at every turn tries to encourage experimentation and trial and error. Just some colossal misjudgments by the devs on that one.
Though, yes, it was very pretty.

Nice, I look forward to some pics of it in the wild.
This pretty much sums up my feelings for the game.
The best advice I can give you for Absolution is the disguise system allows for more leeway with guards attacking you, you get 3 or 4 seconds of being in their line of sight instead of 1 second undisguised.
When disguised, sprinting, jogging, or crouching won't make guards anymore suspicious, meaning when disguised you still have to be stealthy and in the shadows. The only stealth rule while disguised is enemy sight lines and how long they focus on you, taking cover while disguised won't phase them, simply find and make your own paths as you go.
Absolution is a blast to play through once you understand the systems in place and how you can manipulate enemy AI.
Also the game never tells you this but once a guard is suspicious and is following you, going over to and using a pamphlet or laptop or whether contextual hiding place there is will make the guard not suspicious anymore, they'll stop following you and go back to where they came.
MP3 was my number 2 last year, if The Walking Dead wasn't so damn good it would've been my number 1.

A novel by Leo Tolstoy. FartOfWar decided it's fine to spoil it for me without any warning.
Shawn Elliott spoiled the ending for us Friday night. A few of us are pretty hardcore Tolstoy fans.
edit: Thank you Voice.
Doestovesky all the way!!! Stupid Tools-toy fans.
seriously though, russian literature is best literature
Then you will be a perfect opportunity to test his theory.I was planning on watching the movie soon.

It was so frustrating.
I know what he meant and I agree with it to an extent, but I still wish that I didn't know that piece of info going in.
Ever play The Line?
