Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.
I, for one, have gone on record numerous times saying Garshasp is objectively better than God of War.
Says the guy with a pony avatar.
They're not serious. It's a mediocre God of War clone that got a funny Giant Bomb quicklook. It's somewhat redeemed because it was developed by a handful of dudes in Iran with mostly free software tools.

Let me break down the ways in which GOW3 is owned by Garshasp:
-1080p and higher? 4k support? Check.
-60-120 fps? Check.
-Supports more than the Dualshock 3? Check.
-True 3D with Nvidia technology? Check.
-Uses Persian mythology rather than the over-used Greek myths? Check.

Joking aside, even if it's a clone I do appreciate them even attempting to make a game in this genre and not just another quirky retro 2D platformer.
Heh, time to check your sarcasm detector.
Even with better IQ and higher FPS it doesn't look nearly as good, it's also buggy, doesn't control very well and is even more simplistic than God of War.
Wolf09 is a fun little romp, not unlike Rage in the vague sense that it has a classic FPS core with a few modern trimmings. RIP Raven.

Incorrect. GoW III also supports the Sixaxis.

I'm thinking we'll first see it surpass 6m when Dota 2 opens up.
Though with the holiday sale, people buying steamworks titles at retail and launching on a new platform I guess we could see it sooner.
Ok now how about the actual game?
Last year everybody was expecting it to hit 5 million, with Skyrim being still relatively new and the sale, but it didn't happen until early 2012. I think the odds are low, but Steam has been growing steadily so I'd love for it to happen.

So was Singularity

I'm just glad they're at least somewhat safe as long as they have to work on CoD. Sadly they'll probably never work on an original game again

Singularity is awesome. I went into that game expecting a generic shooter and was pleasantly surprised.
I was also pleasantly surprised by Singularity (I've been meaning to run through it again, this time on the PC), but that sewer room with all the phase ticks is ridiculous on Hard. You only have to run 50m to a ladder but each phase tick attack takes off a third of your health and although you can use time bubbles and such to assist you, they're not much help against the dozens of the buggers and foashfuiasifhifysafu8oysuiohnfas.

anyone have this issue? i am using the detailed view with icons. My game list scrolls a bit down all the time even when i scroll all the way up. its not my mouse because i tried to scroll and see on other places and it doesn't do it.what could it be?
Even RPS didn't like the game, I actually enjoy games that are mere copies of more successful franchises just to kill some time but Garshasp was not one of those games.

I played the game on Normal and didn't have any issues but I can see how it'd be annoying. If I ever play it again I'll make sure to go through it on Hard to experience that frustration.
"This is Singularity for the Xbox 360... because the PS3 sucks." Oh, YouTube.
Edit: Oh god, I'd forgotten that you can't run while applying bandages/healing... even though it's in my aforementioned post.

Irrelevant to any objective measurement of the game's quality.

Singularity doesn't have subtitles.

It took me weeks bouncing between Steam, Microsoft and Warner Bros Customer support to get Arkham City to simply activate. When pirates have an easier time playing your game than paying customers, you're doing it wrong.
yeah this just fucking blows
Are you in the beta? It updates a lot.
Yep. Time to opt out of that! Thanks.
I had no idea this shit still fucking goes on:-
I've not even started the game yet
Yeah arkham city has like 18 different kinds of DRM in it. 19 if you bought it on Steam
But yeah it's terrible and WB/Rocksteady should be ashamed of how they handled the PC version.
Yeah, that pisses me off, especially if they aren't going to remove it anytime soon. I want to replay it but if I move it off my main driver and put it away for later, it bugs out and wants me to activate it again. Pretty sure I only have 2 left, but not willing to try by activating it again.I had no idea this shit still fucking goes on:-

Has anyone heard anything about the release date for the PC version of RE6?
they'll scrap it once the console version sells 200 copies and reviews call it the worst game this gen

That's disappointing to hear. Well I wanted to pick up another PS3 anyway so maybe I will just get it for that then rather than wait.

Finally finished Assassin's Creed 1 after abandoning it in 2007. Those last two "missions" were so shit.
yeah, just throw one fight after the other at me. Because those were definitely the best part about the game.

I like the more open nature of AC1 but I wouldn't rank it higher than AC2. Especially because you can't fucking swim.
I approve of just about every improvement to the general formula that was introduced with AC2, but I love the non-linear approach to assassinations in the original that little bit more. Objectively speaking it's certainly the roughest entry in the series, but it's also, thus far, the one that succeeds the most at making the player actually feel like an assassin.
