Tell me about it! I also like going to the clubs in each of the hubs just for the music.

I picked up NV during the sale. Any good mods to make it not fugly?
Enhanced weather
Project Nevada should be your two major mods.
Then MMM (monster mod with increased spawns) and a texture pack (if you have 1gb or less of vram, use 1024x1024 tops)

I also found this to be the case for me. The downtown DC area really annoyed me.
Yes this is the thread where half the people own the game but it's on their backlog and they haven't played it yet
There's a bunch over at New Vegas Nexus that are worth checking out. jim-jam bongs' thread and this thread over at SA are worth a look.
I forget most of what I used, but oHUD was one of my favorites, as the default hud was ass. Pretty tweakable so you can set it to however you like too.

You are seriously mistaken. You can run across all kinds of crazy stuff in FO3. I was just strolling cross the country side and came across Bandits apparently initiating another bandit. They had him stripped down to his underwear and was hazing him. Needless to say I intervened and killed every last one of them with grenades. Another time I saw a Dark klaw kill an entire campment of super mutants. By the time he finished with them it was like 2 of them left and both had a sliver of life, needless to say I finished them off after watching the fight. There are so many random things going on in the game, I don't know what game you were playing.
Having started playing fallout 3 for "real" this time with mods, there's a lot of open space with not a lot interesting in it, unlike new vegas (which drew me in a lot more)
You are right but I always feel the need to moan about invisible walls and unjumpable hills in NV.
So, them walls and hills, eh?
I just wandered aimlessly in FO3 for a bit and thought there was a bunch of really cool stuff that I was never tasked to engage. Maybe it's just that I enjoy more deliberate pacing, but I liked this scope. It wasn't just a constant bombardment of one thing on top of another. I also didn't feel like it was baron. It felt just right. Wander a bit... spot something cool. Kept up the element of surprise and made you appreciative upon stumbling on something in the wastelands.
I think i had one or two come up and I immediately hit ~ then TCL because fuck that noise
not a big deal for pc gamers

Binary Domain - £7.49 @ GetGamesGo and it's Steamworks. Price is better than last weeks Steam sale.
(Also ~$10 US.)
I want it but I'm hoping Greenmangaming match it tomorrow so I can abuse the 20% off voucher.

Man, I like supporting good causes and stuff but if I knew they were going to 75% off it today I would've waited and just have grabbed the Platinum Edition. Oh well, done is done and I already have like 3-4 hours on my game.
Is the Crossworlds expansion worth getting though?

Steam sale aftermath... Dungeon Siege III is actually, well, really fun. It ain't the Mona Lisa by any means but I'm liking it quite a bit. This thing really did not deserve the terrible reputation it got. Using the 360 gamepad because k/b mouse controls kinda blow, and had to fix an SLI issue but once those hurdles were jumped it's been a blast. Of course those shouldn't be hurdles, but yeah...
It's mostly because it becomes been there done that if you absolutely need to play every single class and something about the multiplayer/local co-op or something on the consoles. Going back to playing every class, It'll be nice but I'm going to assume after a while you'll be going "No, not that interested anymore".
But for one or two full play-throughs, the value is definitely there at the sale price.

Anyone else suffering post sale depression? I pretty much have nothing to look forward to in my days now...
Liked that game very much, fun ride from beginning to the end.

One time I was bored in FO3 and decided to take on an enclave of supermutants. There were a lot of supermutants (._. )
When I got bored in FO3, I decided to go around the world trying to figure out where my house is (I live inside the DC Beltway). The game designers had put one of the fictional (and incorrectly located) Metro stations on top of it -_-
They were on Amazon for pretty cheap yesterday I think..I want all of those Genesis packs to go on sale for dirt cheap.

This game keeps coming back to tempt me. Are people still in love with it or has some of the shine warn off post-sale?

AMD owners get horrible slowdown whenever there's shooting, so it's one for the green team.

I really really enjoyed it. $10 is great for it, in my opinion at least.
If you've played a lot of 3rd person shooters recently and are looking for something else, it's not for you. If you want a goofy (for the most part) and fun game with a decent story and strange dating sim mechanics on top of it, go for it.
Hmm, I have amd and never ran into this... or at least that I noticed.
Still a top five game of the year for me.

I have an Nvidia card, but I don't have a quad core. I wasn't fond of the demo, which also wouldn't play nice with MotionJoy. However, everyone says to ignore impressions based on the demo.
Did not have that problem the brief 20 minutes I played it.
What are you talking about? I played through the entire game and didn't encounter this "issue".

Could someone link a Youtube video that'll sell me on Binary Domain? I've had it recommended over and over, but it just looked like a Gears clone.

Classic Game Room probably has a good review up.

Awesome game. U should play it.
The description has always sounded more like Mass Effect 2 to me, as far as the squadmate "trust" aspect and ME2's loyalty system.

I definitely encountered that issue on the 5850. I can try the 6670m on my laptop to see if it's any different.

I used a 5650m and it was fine the whole way through.
Mobility 5650 radeon hd whatever they call it.

Still a great game, you should by it if you like third person shooters and enjoy a fun story. It is very B-movie action movie, but in a good way.
My last HoMM game was the second one and I came in enjoying KB very much. I can't speak for the rest of the stuff in the Platinum Pack as I picked up KB from the Indie Gala bundle.
I personally enjoyed having just one hero to control a bunch of units as that's more or less what I did in HoMM2 to a lesser extent. Also, you do have a pet that get's to aid you in battle outside of your unit's movements as long as it's one of your unit's turns.
It's mostly one hero many units, RPG elements where you have a skill tree for bonuses and quests to pick up and do, and the open area where you run around on your horse collecting bonuses and gold and what not from the odd tree stash or shrine or NPC.
Edit: The demo did a really poor job for first impressions for me with the overall game feel since I already knew how the combat with these work. They you fly on your horse and that didn't make any sense at the time. Now that I've played it some, it makes total sense and is very welcome when I get it whenever that is.
I think your really over estimating new vegas because new vegas world including the random stuff is leagues worst than Fallout 3, New Vegas is good in some things but Fallout 3 had a way better world and random stuff.

Buy it. It is an amazing game and will last you hundreds of hours.
It is tough, beautiful, and has amazing 2D art (interface is gorgeous). The music is excellent though I remember there not being much of it.
I really recommend it for $5.

I liked it when I played it last maybe a year ago. It reminds me of Age of Wonders in a way, which I loved.
I'm suffering from games depression. It's been 2 1/2 months since I last played a big release and even longer since I played something new that was good and there's still 2 weeks to go until sleeping dogs/darksiders 2. 2012 sucks and summer sucks.
