OMFG. Just finished Deus Ex: Human Revolution two years after I bought it. This just surpassed Bioschock Infinite as the best game I have played in 2013. This game is the reason I play videogames. Eidos nailed it, everything. Wow!

The attention to detail is unbelievable. There were some parts of the environment where I couldn't believe they had gone to such extremes to get such small details on the environment. I spent hours and hours on the hacking mini-games and exploring every single corner.

I really hope Eidos has a sequel in the making. This franchise deserves another awesome game by Eidos Montreal.

Here's what will blow your mind:

First DX is better than DXHR (though DXHR is more "modern")

Also get the patch for Bloodlines. Also look into getting the ENB for it, holy jesus christ does it make some parts fucking SCARY (the haunted house in particular)

Attempting to download games on Origin is an exercise in futility. Reminds me why I never use this crap.

Edit: Hyperbole on my part. DS3 is giving me issues with resuming and pausing the download.
 
It didn't even show what the achievement icons looked like when you got an achievement notification.

Never noticed that, I just liked looking at them from the xbox browser page or now the Windows 8 games app. I wonder if Microsoft will try their hand again with a GFWL 2 replicating the One's system or just use steam. GFWL could have been great but they never updated it like Xbox Live, I really don't understand why.

And how is downloading games via Origin an exercise in futility? I've never had issues, aside from BF3's awful punkbuster support but that's not Origin.

Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.
Don't worry guys, Microsoft will be back to fuck our shit up even more thoroughly in about 5 years.

How the fuck does Battlefield 3 run at 60-120fps on ultra and Sleeping Dogs (which doesn't look as good) is a slideshow? Da fuq.

Also, why do I have to install a browser plugin in order to play Battlefield 3???
 
I actually bought Legend of Dungeon last week, cause I thought it would make a fun coop game for when friends are over. Played a total of 15 minutes before we all got bored of it, for a rogue-like there was no challenge, none of us got anywhere close to death and the main problem is just randomly wandering around trying to find the exit. Also combat is just not fun at all. So far I hugely regret my purchase, I only hope that the fact that it is a beta that it gets better in the final release.
Was considering your impressions...I chatted with the dev a bit in the forums and according to him, the game is "first and foremost a single player experience"

Which is great because I was only going to play solo and never touch co-op. Do you think your impressions would have been different if you played alone?

Also consider that the difficulty of a roguelike varies with each death. Maybe those first 15 minutes seemed easy because that's just how the world generated that time?

Any other impressions? Now that I took SYABH off the potential list, LoD is #1 on my wishlist so I'm interested

does anyone else get these weird glitches with firefox? On facebook, my friends list on the side will have these black boxes everywhere. On GAF it's those same boxes and it's everywhere

I googled this issue and it says it's a graphics card issue, but I don't get this with Chrome or Internet Explorer (tried it to see if those boxes would appear)

Chrome sucks. I wanna go back to using Firefox but those boxes are annoying.

I played about 7 minutes on my own before the coop game and had the same opinion. In terms of difficulty I never came close to death on my own. I am a bit surprised by the devs comment about it being mainly a solo game cause everything i saw beforehand was playing up the coop factor, though it did seem more as a play with friends kind of way than a necessity like how Spelunky has a coop mode but can be played as a strict single player game.

If you are hesitant to spend your money on something you're not sure on you should wait and find more opinions on the game, it's perfectly possible that my opinion is an anomaly. I might give the game another shot soon, probably once I finish up all the challenges in Saint's Row IV. Also I'm gonna try another coop game with different friends to see if they have different opinions though that will probably be next week.

Chrome is the best.

So from some of the responses, the footage I have seen and the DLC backstory I kinda get the feeling Saints Row 4 is just SR3 but with superpowers, correct?

I agree on all points. SR4 just wants to be a game, nothing more. Pure unadulterated fun. Time just melts away, like he said. And I didn't even play Coop yet.
i shold try coop

Well I won't be buying it at full price, but maybe along the way because I did very much enjoyed SR3.

Also aren't cars useless when you can fly/glide and run really fast?
Yes, pretty much. But just jumping, running and gliding around is way more fun than just driving in a car in any other Open World game was before. Traversing in those games always felt like chore to me though.

Oh rock of ages, do not crumble, love is breathing still. Oh lady moon shine down, a little people magic if you will.
I had no interest in the game whatsoever but great scott, after playing for a couple of hours, Saints Row IV is insane. Insanely fun! So much weirdness and stuff, i'm loving it.

It's the best The Flash game ever.

Kinda, yeah. I'm not really using them.
Although the UFO you unlock two hours into the game is pretty fun.
