Speaking of which, any ideas on how to turn that filter off?

I thought I read that the four weapons you have in the demo are the only four weapons you have in the game (plus the bow). Is this true?
It's not true, I'll let you find the rest for yourself.
I heard him say this line last night with "feathers", in place of "flags"!
Just Youtube'd some of their stuff.. fantastic!
Less fantastic though is the fact that I still can't seem to launch the game. Verified my cache again and Steam is re-downloading the entire game for the third time. I've wasted all the time I actually had to play this messing around with this shit.
added some new amahzing tracks to the Spotify playlist:

i mean, can't go wrong with cover art like this
Awesome playlist, subscribed to it.
Speaking of Austrian Death Machine, it's a side project from the lead singer of As I Lay Dying, a band I don't personally care for at all, but that's not the point. Dude hit the gym when he started Austrian Death Machine, and is decidedly far more metal now:
Completely off topic, but I thought it was interesting enough to share. Without the tattoos I don't know if he's even recognizable. A bit of a Zakk Wylde thing going on now.

Most full retail games.
love the graphics style of the game but it look "Simpler" then vanilla far cry 3
The foliage is noticeably awful, considering Far Cry 3's.
The Grenade informations made me completely lose it. Had worked night shift and the game downloaded throughout, came back home and spent 2 Hours in it without even noticing.
I can tell that it will be a short game, but as Totalbiscuit says it's perfect because it won't overstay it's welcome. Also it's still as much if not longer than CoD single player crap. And simply unforgettable.

Loving it so far. Seeing as FC3 was my favorite game of last year, I'm basically getting an expansion pack with a crazy, nostalgic style that makes it fresh. Kudos, Ubisoft!
Holy shit, that's fucking rad. m/°_°m/Speaking of Austrian Death Machine, it's a side project from the lead singer of As I Lay Dying, a band I don't personally care for at all, but that's not the point. Dude hit the gym when he started Austrian Death Machine, and is decidedly far more metal now:

Wow I got to the final level quicker than I was expecting, I hardly did any side missions because I thought I had time.

Taxes?! Isn't this the line for Metallica?
Is there a way to remove scanlines? I know this is supposed to be 80s but it looks bad.
Not right now, someone might figure it out eventually. If it's even humanly possible and I'm not sure that it is.
Middle Aged Nerd Guy moment: the Dungeons & Dragons / TSR stuff was absolutely massive in the 80's for a whole generation of teenage nerds. Further, Gary Gaygax (he of D&D fame) wrote Cyborg Commando in 1987. TSR (of more D&D fame) published three editions of Gamma World between 1978 and 1985. And then you've got material like After the Bomb or The Morrow Project...and others I'm probably missing.

R - if you were growin' up nerd in the 80's, that cruddy little D20 was practically a religious icon. Totally relevant to the shtick of Blood Dragon.The first 3 1/2 minutes of Strobe goes so well with this game.

That's really the only deadmau5 song that I like.

I mean, yeah I understand. but D&D is a thing that happened at the same time as awesome lazers and shit, doesn't really have anything to do with it. They've got this full-on cyber action fantasy thing going on and then break it with something that doesn't have anything to do with neon and lazers and shit. felt weird.
I'll quote you the same response I gave White Man.
I personally believe it's refreshing. Is it really harming anyone if the developers thought it would be cool to throw D20's instead of rocks? Does it even matter?
This is a game that asks you to press Enter to confirm you can read.
I'm hardly saying that the game is immune to criticism because it's so "waaaackyy and craaaazyyy!!!", I'm just saying that you have to have perspective on the entire overarching concept and being pedantic about something as simple as changing throwing rocks to throwing D20s is a pretty odd point to try to bring up criticism towards.
You're certainly able to think it strange, though, and you're certainly not alone.

I was loving this until I discovered the main character THROWS 20-SIDED DIE. Unacceptable. Completely destroyed my experience.

Anyone having issues with the UPlay servers? I'm downloading Blood Dragon at 40 kbytes/s and there is 30 hours remaining. I just did an internet speed test and a test download on something on Steam. Everything seems fine on my end.
"One reviewer said that "whilst Cyborg Commando isn’t the worst game written, it is outstandingly poor. This is a product that should be held up to designers as a lesson in how not to write a game.""
... Maybe he should have stuck to D&D.
This seems well above our standard level of assistance, you should probably take this up with Ubisoft directly.
Good we could all stand to be offended a little more often.
Yeah sorry I'm just sort of ranting at this point. My free time to actually sit and spend an evening playing a game is rare these days and it annoys me greatly when that entire evening gets wasted by absolutely terrible game installations/downloads. Not sure if it's Steam, Ubisoft or the Uplay client at fault here. The Steam forums suggest I'm not the only one experiencing this, which is.. something at least.

From a Tyrell to The Hound.
Holy shit, he does look like The Hound.

You don't watch the second best show on TV?
What's the first then?

My 2c on what I've played: I really dig the idea, love the humour, love the soundtrack, but Far Cry 3's gameplay is so monotonous and boring that I find it hard to really get into it. And honestly, the high enemy damage and stealth focus of Far Cry 3's core gameplay seems totally at odds with what should be an 80's cyber commando spoof. Right setting, wrong game, in my opinion.
But I can also appreciate that anybody who loved Far Cry 3's gameplay will have a much, much easier time getting into Blood Dragon's rhythm.

I fucking LOVE that album. It's so good.
Also I am really really enjoying this game, so much fun and over the top stupidity. It doesn't take itself seriously even for a second and that's why it succeeds so well. Also dat soundtrack... oh man.
I am putting together a walkthrough on youtube of it, if you'd like to see then please stop by and help a brother out
