Complaints about Dead Space 3 coop being annoying because there are times where you have to survive on your own reminds me of the N+ coop missions which would have one guy in a hamster wheel contraption of some sort avoiding spikes, lasers, and so on where the other plays had to complete incredibly difficult mazes.
Shame N++ got rid of that madness.
And the universal ammo did change the flow of the game in terms of managing pickups but at the same time I don't feel like Dead Space ever went as far in the ammo conservation as it needed to. I always played on the hardest difficulty available at start(ie, did not finish 2 and 3 permadeath/3 save modes) and was always swimming in ammo for all of my weapons. I spent more time dumping extra ammo from my inventory to pick up my 5th medpack than actually worrying about being careful with my shots.

So Dead Space 3 is better than 2 then

I wonder if they'll do the "vote on games we should Quick Look" thing again this year. That worked out a lot better than I thought it would last time.
Yeah, but if I was going to change my avatar to an actor from that scene, it would be Hopper.

The biggest disappointment with that last year was that it was mostly stuff that they had already looked at.

Content is gonna be pretty thin on the ground this month.
I forgot to unsub until Jan!
And he's probably right that it's the most complete N-Gage collection in the world.

one guy in this thread said that drew watched survivor series with absolutely no proof or source and now everyone's frothing for a powerbombcast
As of the recording of the recent MGS V, he had watched part of it but hadn't finished it. He promised to go all the way because of his agreement with Dan.
He did not sound very excited about wasting more time on it.
Do...do you want to talk about Hunted: The Demon's Forge? I want to.
I liked that game. And I'm pretty sure I'm the only one.

I've literally never even heard of those two games.

Thankfully there's a site that can help.
Hunted: The Demon's Forge QL
Quantum Theory QL
Looking over them, I don't think I remember Quantum Theory... From the title I assumed it was a James Bond game.
I got like all the way to the end of this post before realizing Quantum Theory and Quantum Conundrum are probably two different games. I typed a lot and it's all gone, all that remains is this evidence of my confusion.
It was really the worst, and not the worst in any entertaining way. Wrestling isn't even dumb fun right now like when it used to be bad.

I keep going back to the Play-Asia thread for some reason, not to post just to read. Why do I keep doing this to myself? That thread stopped being fun ages ago.
Tales from the Borderlands only dropped to 50% off on the Autumn Sale. Not as low as I wanted, but I doubt it'll go lower in winter. I guess I might bite.

No traditional UPF. GBEast will likely do something. West sounded like they might do something as a fill in, but also have no studio right now so don't expect much.

Giantbomb goty Axiom Verge is on sale for 13.99 on steam if you're interested, dev has said it's the lowest it'll go for a long while.

Pariscope to the rescue!
That was the second thing I thought of, after James Bond. Fortunately I remembered QC's full title rather quickly.
Bad cover-based shooters are truly the most forgettable of games.
Fun fact: InXile, the developer of Wasteland 2 (QL), is the one that made Hunted: The Demon's Forge

No daily sales, no flash sales, no nothing. Barring some inevitable price mistakes, everything is as low as it will be for the duration of the sale.
Static sales aren't very exciting.
That's exactly it. It's unclear if that's the new norm or just for non super-massive sales like the Autumn sale. The Autumn sale has far more often than not been worse than the Winter, so Winter might be the normal style.
For this sale, if something you want is on sale for a price you like, go ahead and grab it.

It wasn't terrible!
Yeah sounds like developers are free to make their games cheaper in next month's sale.

We probably are going to get bombasticas from the SF duders for now till things settle down which I have no problem with.
I feel like if we were gonna get a gbeast stream it would have started or be starting very soon.
If it was going to happen, I imagine one of the East crew would've tweeted about it. I'd assume no stream today.

I blame the SJWs. First they came for DOA, then they came for Giant Bomb's livestream!

Defense of the Ancients: All-Stars is the obvious answer.We probably are going to get bombasticas from the SF duders for now till things settle down which I have no problem with.
It's great, I can easily support any argument Jeff or Dan make for it during deliberations.
Like, follow, subscribe.
I very much support the dev's push against game devaluation, but that game relies way too much on 'hey, I look EXACTLY like Metroid' for my taste. Watching the QL and seeing just how Metroid it was put me off. If I want that, I'd go for the real thing.

It starts to deviate from Metroid quite a bit. It subverts the genre expectations pretty well imo all while being a really good Metroid-style game.
It was way easier for me to get into than Super Metroid (the L+R aiming in particular). Axiom Verge does not hide the Metroid origin, but does plenty new on it's own. Worth to play instead of another (Super) Metroid replay
waiting for sale on PSN
