Tomb Raider is like an unfun Uncharted. Platforming mechanics(what little there are) are better than Uncharted though.

Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.
In a world where Serious Sam 3 was released, this is nothing more than hyperbolic sensationalism.
Hell no. I mean, it's nice, but nah.
I didn't play that though. Seems like that was a good decision.

Now you're just trying to troll Derrick01.
The game was fine, but nowhere near one of the best this gen.

Close to finishing Minerva's Den. Seems only the boss fight's left. Kinda dreading it tbh, this series has never been good at it.
I'd say it feels like a mix between One Hundred Years of Solitude (the book), O Brother Where Art Thou?, Interstate 60 and Big Fish (all movies) with a Monkey Island-ish vibe (just the vibe though, there are no puzzles or anything). If that make sense of course, lol.
As for it being emotional well, it's not like The Walking Dead in that regard, because the narrative is highly unconventional in KR0 as opposed to that game, but it sure is emotional in its own way.
Yup, sorry, I wasn't as clear as I thought when writing my post. I was talking about Half-Life / Half-Life Source. I am really really fond of vanilla Half-Life and if at first I thought an updated engine might be good, it might be odd too. The store page screenshots are... meh... but at the same time, the blocky soldier on the HL vanilla page is something too ^o^
I was wondering which way to go.
It could be the drinking but god damn if there isn't some overt plagiarism going on in the "coming soon" section:
Defense Technica

Ray's the Dead

Personal BGEE Update: This game still holds up, not that I expected otherwise. Love Neera, even if the characters don't do much in the first BG.
She's a wild mage, has a very random spell and some other perks, and it's a nice change to all the other (imo) really boring looking mage characters in the game. It meant I had to scrap Minsc after rescuing Dynaheir though, so I'm going with one rotating spot since I wanna keep Jaheira and Khalid (and Imoen of course)
Just got through my first visit of the
Tazok area, now back to the Arm and planning to go back torch/check out that place more. Depending on my mood.
This game really really is still awesome, hopefully I will finish it in time for BG2 EE. Oh, and the EE itself I really like too. The zoom is useless but fun, the screen ratio is perfect, the redone menus are really nice. Quicksave button right on the GUI, great idea. And I didn't run into any bugs whatsoever up to now, everything went smooth and buttery. It also takes the game rules and mechanics of BG2, which I also do like.
So yeah, will probably keep you updated.

Honestly why do people think Serious Sam 3 is bad? Never played it.
It can't honestly be bad as Serious Sam The Next Encounter for PS2/GC.

What was your favorite part?
The shitty gameplay or the shitty level design?
I suppose one could like the shitty enemy spawns that forego even shitty monster closets and just shittily spawn shitty enemies in front of your shitty guns.

I don't know, you ran around and you shot a heap of stuff. Granted you have to be in the right mood, but it met my expectations.
Had you player the series previously?

The Mario Paint Fly Swatter game is better at that kind of cathartic release.
Yes, I have. 1) I like to keep my hate informed. 2) People suggested that this was better.

Everyone who owned the game before the update got it for free.

Anyone who complains about a game's writing has to first state their opinion on Borderlands 2's writing. If I could code this into GAF user profiles and make it part of the TOS, I would.

Happened to me a couple days ago.
Yes I am! I totally am, at least when it comes to video games.
I guess you're right, yes. I think I have a spare piece of humanity, so I could try using it to summon someone who could help me.
But still, I definitely need to learn how to fight on my own; how to roll properly, when to strike and when to run or heal myself. I also need to learn about upgrading my equipment and weapons, because I take a lot of damage and barely deal any.
Thanks for the tips, but the problem is that I can't hit the first one without being hit myself. I already have a lot of trouble staying alive, so I can't focus on attacking him at the same time.
Thanks to all of you, guys! Gonna try these tips next time I play the game.
I'm really enjoying reading the Dark Souls posts from the past few pages.
I too am playing it (second time), rolling with a very low health, high dex and endurance build. Fun fun. I didn't
are dumb. This time though, I got there, got cursed on my way down there, and then everything was one-shotting me. But I kept pushing forward anyway, ran
and got the hell out of there.
Getting cursed for a long time forces you to play extra careful, especially on low health character, and then when you remove it, it's very easy to get reckless because of all the health you now have.

I didn't play it, what does it make me? A storytelling agnostic?
They are correct in the steamcommunity profile, its just the clients library view that's screwing up.
Or this. That's pretty coolio too. Hope my 2 save is still on my compy.
Serious Sam 3 is great. It becomes even more of a puzzler on the higher difficulties in using the right weapon for the right situation.
Because I'm not actually good at games. I managed to beat SH by playing it a lot, so I finally learned the patterns and how to react to them. But other games still kick my ass, and since I don't like BioShock's gameplay and most enemies are bullet sponges on Hard, I decided to tone it down to Easy.
And it was a good idea: I'm now able to kill Big Daddies really fast, which means I won't get frustrated anymore due to the bad shooting mechanics.
That was the reason I never finished the game. Had I played it on Easy (or maybe even Medium) from the very start, I'm sure I would have enjoyed it a lot. Such a good setting and story.
its the perfect game for people who want to 'experience' instead of play something
I don't know how you can say bad things about Tomb Raider when you say you liked the even worse Enslaved. Tomb Raiders a fuckin masterpiece compared to that shit.
I love to see you guys talking about games you deeply dislike. I'm sorry for thinking that way, but I hope there are many more games you hate to come. They make for such a fun reading

Is it that you're not good at games, or that games just aren't good?
I stopped caring about that when Steam decided to misreport my play times in a lot of games. I know for a fact I have nowhere near 165 hours in Skyrim or 43 in NBA 2k13.
I died a few times in Enslaved so it's definitely a better game than Tomb Raider. I wouldn't say it's a good game but it was a decent and forgettable game. Hardly as offensive as TR was.

I'm honing my skills for when Thief comes out in February.
Of course you died in Enslaved. With the terrible combat, awful framerate and shitty controller lag it all worked against you.

I'd like to think that I'm not a difficulty snob (since I'm not that good at games either) but I think people are doing themselves a disservice by playing some on lower difficulties. Sounding like a broken record here but Alan Wake in particular I found very unfun to go through on Medium but when I went through the PC version on Nightmare I had a blast. I'd go as far to say that you haven't even scratched the surface of the game at Medium.
Nope it was none of those things. I just wish I could have died once in TR that wasn't from missing a QTE or from me not paying attention because I was falling asleep from boredom. The tacked on RPG checklist features like crafting made an already easy and challenge-less game a joke. A toddler with barely functioning motor skills could have finished that game.

It all depends on the game. Some games you absolutely need to play on hard(Metal Gear Revengence) while other hard difficulties are sometimes atrocious(COD)
I don't disagree with any of your Tomb Raider complaints despite enjoying it. I just really hate Enslaved, probably moreso than morningbus hates Serious Sam

Well if I'm being honest I don't remember much about Enslaved, like I said it was pretty forgettable. I just don't remember outright hating it. I would definitely buy it cheap if it does come to Steam just to see if I still don't mind it.

I'd love to know what the "target difficulty" for some of these games are and which is the one most people choose. Would be nice to have stats.
Guess RionaaM will have his wish fulfilled.
