From what I experienced last free weekend this isn't true at all. I started playing as a level 1 character in deathmatch and was regularly defeating players who were the highest level and had prestiged. I even got complimented over the microphone by some guy because I was killing everybody with the default weapons. I'm not a good FPS player by any means, but the games skill ceiling appeared to be extremely low compared to something like Tribes or Counter-Strike.

Might be a sign it's coming to OSX, that usually happens with games that are about to become steamplay.
Or maybe its just a glitch.

Someones level has absolutely nothing to do with their skill.
That's what I was thinking too. I'll check too see if it's all good on the windows side before I start wild'n out.
That would make sense since I think someone posted earlier that it was added to the registry.

coaching in what? the unwritten rules of the community because the developer couldn't be arsed to make sure people play according to a certain design aka their job?
evolution of patterns is one thing, designing a game around what is basically a ridiculous premise: "you suck because you're new" is not acceptable to me. Also: the other people were too busy calling each other fags and things much worse that I didn't care to remember.
maybe I just lucked out and entered servers with prestiges only or glitched or whatever, but I tried long enough to ensure it wasn't me just playing very badly.
I had no issue whatsoever with BLOPS, MW2, or any other CoD.
At least MW2 gave you a sniper at the start, if I recall correctly. MW1 did, as far as I know. but then MW1 was actually still fun to play.
Yeah, that must be it, since it's still visible from my Windows partition. Party canceled.

That isn't the case, but you obviously have made up your mind and seem to have no interest in actually playing the game with a coordinated party.

eh, idk, id feel compelled to get the rest after i played a chapter, ha.
There's plenty of gameplay out there, and since the game's basically a novel-like adventure game, you can pretty much get the idea.

Yeah, I know. I'm a fan of some of Telltale's stuff so I know what to expect.
It'd be nice if there was a demo for people who were undecided though.
Pre-ordered. Did I do good?
I'd be interested in this as well!
Or he could play the first chapter and decide? Like it was a demo.
isnt there one on xbla? i assume its coming to PC.. but who knows

The gameplay looks terrible based off videos (guns lol) and I have yet to read a truly positive impression of it.

I'd like to get in on that.
So glad to finally see a TL2 pre-order page. That trailer alleviates a minor nitpick I was fearing with after playing D3. The audio in TL2 sounds terrific, and brutal, the thrill in D3 is when things die, it sounds brutal, and crushing, very much impact driven, that TL2 trailer has wonderful audio too. I'm happy!
Bugger, I was just about to ask if anybody is hosting a four-pack.
Actually you know what, go ahead and take my spot. Still a little indecisive on buying TL2.
I'm interested in this myself, in particular because of the usual pricing disparity with the euro. If there's a spot open somewhere I'd really appreciate it!

Torchlight II four pack is tempting, but I don't believe in paying for pre-orders when I don't have a release date.

These are (mostly?) MT Framework games though. ORC looks like Gamebyro or some shit.

DR2 doesn't use MT Framework either
Glass Rebel

Yeah, it was made by a western studio after all. *sigh*
Fucking Capcom, MT Framework is such a nice engine.

I already posted in the "I need a new PC" thread, but this one is more active and I need an answer ASAP.
Should I get this now while it's cheap, or wait and hope the GTX670 is just as good if not better, and priced well?

A 5770, and I'm tired of the driver issues, especially with old games like CoD1 and UO, and SW: Republic Commando.
I'm also thinking about getting this: http://www.ncix.com/products/index....-120G&manufacture=OCZ Technology&promoid=1058
With the $20 giftcard taken into account, that's a 120GB SSD for $90--plus free express shipping on it.

fucking lol, 38 costumes and 14 different gems (that are better than the in-game gems) probably.

Yeah, it uses something else. The GB page is wrong. Capcom won't let MT leave Japan.

Bought the SSD. It well too good of a deal to pass up.
