Just beat DmC, and it was a pretty alright game.
+ Visually the environments were pretty awesome and varied.
+ The Dante/Vergil dynamic was cool. I want to see more of the two of them.
+ Smooth as hell framerate, except for one level. Although, I think that might as been an issue on my end.
+The acting was actually really good.
= Combat was kinda alright. Not bad, but could stand to be better.
= Music was fun. Nothing to write home about, but lent a good amount of atmosphere to the game.
- Boss fights sucked. They weren't a test of combat skills and more just platforming segments.
- Levels could have been streamlined a bit more. Too much walking down an empty hallway.
- The twist was pretty obvious.
- Awkward lines of diaglogue. Tried too hard to be edgy when it could have done the same with as many "fuck yous."
Overall: Solid game, but not worth the current going price. Best bet is at $20.
I give it 3 fuck yous out of 5 bitches.

Apparently I had to restart Xsplit twice for it to realize that I had a license again. Gameplay should be up now, if anyone is still interested.
I've never played a Devil May Cry game but this one kind of interests me. I'm hoping for $20 or less during the summer sale.

DmC is decent, but I'd recommend playing DMC 4 at some point. Or DMC3 if you have access to a PS2/PS3.

Now I am disappointed for the inevitable PC version's PVP potential.

thats sucks they are copying cod.now no one these days do their own thing.
Hype deflated.
Iron Sights
Great for atmosphere in single player games and realistic simulators (examples: Arma, Red Orchestra)
Bad for competitive multiplayer games.
Destiny will be about cooperative modes as well, but there will be a competitive element. Sad to see Bungie dumbing down.
it was a drag in Bioshock Infinite too
I thought the implementation was perfect in Infinite.
The reticle worked just fine, you were never required to ADS unless you were using sniper rifle.
There was no contrived 'hip fire' where you bullets go in random vectors out from the reticle.
If you need the crutch, then it was there. If you don't, then you are not required to.
I personally put the ADS button on the 'V' key and my powers on the right click.
I like iron sights if they zoom a bit...
Watching now, game looks interesting but the quality of the stream is a bit depressing :/

What if movement wasn't slowed in ADS?
This is my exact sentiment. The combat was good in the vanilla game, but the Vergil DLC was a big step-up. Definitely interested in seeing where they take the series.

Yeah. Skimming through it now and it looks like shit compared to the actual gameplay. I definitely need to adjust some settings.
Has any game ever done that before?
I feel like it wouldn't work for a verity of reasons, but mainly, if movement were the same, then why have the ADS mechanic at all?
I remembered someone asking HPE on Twitter if CS:GO would have iron sights. "Hell no. This is Counter-Strike" was the response.
Well, it makes sense to have actively aiming slow down your movement in stuff (read: RPGs) like New Vegas, since you're trading mobility for accuracy (same with crouching there to steady your aim). Destiny is an upcoming RPG, yes? I haven't played a shooter in years, but I clearly remember them to be no-holds-barred adrenaline-fueled thrillrides (a la Quake and Unreal Tournament), so I'm pretty sure any shooters they make nowadays must be completely ballin'.
MW3 indirectly did it. There was a perk that sped up the walking speed during ADS. It was actually pretty fucking awesome
Ridge Racer Unbounded Full Pack 75% off at Gamersgate
hey dude you gotta compete with steam somehow
can't be all ad free and minimalistic in this world
but yea it's pretty fucking annoying
COD:BO2 did it with the stock, its like a 0.5 scope with less spread.
The bane of multi monitor users. I always keep hitting it until I close the tab.

So I saw your post just now and loaded the page up and there isn't even a black screen. 'OFFLINE', but I still get the ads. Am I a donkey that you would tempt me with dangled carrots tied to a stick that you then beat me with?
...
Back to FTL, where the only promises made are those of Space Glory, or Glorious Space Death, and in Space, promises are always kept. I shalt venture forth again in my Slug vessel, the Spaceworthy 'S.S. Salt Lick', led by the ever stalwart Captain Starlington McCrunches. 'Remember Me'? Not in the cold black dark of Space, friend. The best that one hopes for is that when they find your derelict ship drifting in Space, and your body, still grasping the helm in a furious death grip, that your face is still recognizable, despite being forever stilled in a lusty laughing rictus, eternally roaring at the ever shifting Space Fates. Like Brian Blessed, drunk and naked, howling at the moon, which he is deadly certain is a renegade, and eventual betrayer of all men.

I'm thinking of getting Showdown Effect and Mount & Blade from Greenmangaming, which versions should I get?
http://www.greenmangaming.com/s/om/en/pc/games/action/showdown-effect/
http://www.greenmangaming.com/s/om/en/pc/games/action/showdown-effect-deluxe-edition/
^Regular or Deluxe for Showdown?
Should I get both Mount and blade games or just Warbound?

Warband is all that is needed.

I does demand some thinking to get the story right, though... The whole comatose wife part is obvious, but figuring out who the characters are is quite a challenge. An astounding little game, imo.
Well now that I am no longer really hyped for Destiny, I'll go back to day dreaming about the Halo 3 PC port.
The completionist in me says get the Deluxe version
just get warband. the first m&b game is basically warband lite and with fire and sword is warband with shitty old ass guns. you can also get the napoleon wars dlc if you're interested in multiplayer
but man warband is such a joy of a game, if you have the taste for it you'll enjoy it tremendously
can't wait for m&b2... I heard they were having some development issues and delays, I hope it's still going :/
I noticed that this morning, still £27 at GMG though for the physical version
Only 55 = £47 in Europe. It's not even double the price, pfft.
That page messes up a little after games launch in USA.
Then there's no point to it. I prefer the "zoom into weapon" thing that F.E.A.R. did, which was only useful if you needed a little more zoom, and the other 98% of the time you used hip fire.

Gunpoint is such a great game. I almost went for The Swapper but one has a demo and the other doesn't so...
I really enjoyed the swapper, finished it in 3 nights... it looks and feels wonderful, and has a great storyline, with an incredible ending...
however they are both puzzlers

You should just buy both.
You'll be able to snap up the Ultimate Edition (game + DLC) for at least ~$10 during the Summer Sale. A little less, even, if it goes for 75% off rather than 66%.
Is it the ultimate edition? If not it's probably worth waiting for the summer sale and buying it.
Edit: Beaten, I should not use Siri to write this.

Maybe when I'm done with Gunpoint.

Gunpoint is great, I'm sure all the narrative stuff is fine but I'm just skipping by all of it. It seems to just get in the way of the fun. I suppose that's the sign of a really amazing game when you want to skip all the story just to play it.

The existence of ADS can you put you off a game completely? That sounds extreme.

Your loss. I would hardly call something like that a deal breaker. I guess we will see how things pan out when we see it at Sony's show next week.

Mw3 has the same movement speed in ADS with a specific perk. Once you try it, you can't go back to normal, everything seems so slow...
But sucks for ADS in destiny, halo was perfect the way it was.
