Play F.E.A.R. in the dark, with headphones, and enjoy it.
There's only a few jump scares in the game, and they're few and far between. The game's great at building a sense of dread and despair, though.

Really? I played the first levels and thought it was boring and as linear as a game could be. Allied Assault it isn't.
My dad liked it, though. Which is strange because he hated Duke Nukem Forever, which I consider to be the better game.
Oh yeah, he didn't like watches, right? Stump should ban him for that!

Oh, you bought a wireless receiver?
Quite some time ago, yes. Makes most singleplayer games a lot more enjoyable to me.
Shooters, controllers, eh, c'mon son. edit: k'mop zoon
It's singleplayer, son. Keyboards suck.
Also, apparently it registers the d-pad and sticks, but pressing any of the button in the menu doesn't do anything.
I liked it with my first run but I realized quickly that I simply can't replay it at all. Even with a friend. The design problems really show themselves when you don't have any new humor to experience and mask the problems. I don't think I'll buy BL3 unless they really change things up.
As for Bioshock don't bother with 1999 mode. Like all recent games with "hardcore" modes it doesn't erase any of the problems the regular game was designed with and it's definitely not like an actual 1999 game. It's simply a marketing term to get people like us to calm down during the pre-release period of a game so they can keep misleading everyone else.

Second Crysis 2 problem, now all of a sudden when I launch the game its resolution seems to be 5x5 or something. It's an incredibly small window, with no way for me to resize it.
Are you using MaldoHD?
I would agree with you, the bullet sponge enemies were frustrating on Hard, let alone 1999.
My justification is I want to go through again to experience the story, and grab a couple rare achievements while I'm at it for the showcase.
Oh no no, you gotta play it at night, with the lights off. Though it's enjoyable at day too, and in fact I think I started playing it for the first time right after having lunch.
You haven't played Portal 2 yet? Or would that be a replay?

Yes.
I can't change the in-game resolution anymore. It's locked to 800x600 for some reason.

Caught on reddit, not sure if this got posted.

Dude and friend harass player they didn't know was a valve employee in dota2. Dude and friend get muted 2 months ingame and are put in low priority matchmaking for a week. The fun part is people defending a player's right to abuse people.

I love it when someone prices a foil for a low low price
I can sell each copy of the game for 6 dollars, with paypal taxes already included.
If anybody wants it, please lemme know. I know it's not much cheaper, but paypal taxes kill me and I really want it at that price..

2. Drizzle x2
3. Newblade
4. Jokingbird
PM me if anybody is interested.
Edit: One more. I already purchased the game, I just need your 6 bucks and I can gift it to you!
Gone! Thanks Newblade and Jokingbird!
Yeah, I had a similar problem. I had to set it to use FXAA instead of SMAA, despite SMAA being recommended for the 670. Once I switched it, the game ran fine.
In my case, it was a Windows 8 issue. Some people also fixed it by running it in a different compatibility mode, but that wouldn't work for me.

Fuck, yeah, I remember reading that, but messed around with the settings a moment ago and forgot to put it back to FXAA. Thanks!
Now I just need Steam to launch MaldoHD from the get-go, instead of having to restart the game every time.
I just arrived home and noticed the Dungeons & Dragons: Chronicles of Mystara 4 pack, so here's how it goes:

But then you're rather fucked unless you are crafting.

If you've already played through Infinite I'd skip 1999 mode in favour of doing something better with your time. As far as I could tell it was another HP/damage slider difficulty change except now you couldn't use the little helper level navigator which I never used anyway. The name meant nothing.
Enjoy it
Make sure to check out the co-op as well. Lots of fun.

Jake's campaign was actually a nice change of pace to me because of how bizarre some of the levels are. The second level with the open area and famous ice hill that forces you to not slide, the 3rd with the Mirror's Edge esqe aesthetics and stealth(and one of my favorite coop sections) It's a perfect example of how uneven the campaign the is as a whole but I felt they pumped a lot of their most off the wall ideas into it which made it very enjoyable to me. Keep in mind though I didn't play any one campaign all the way through at once. I played one or two chapters of Chris, then Jake, then Leon and then back to Chris, etc.
Ada's campaign is definitely the worst though. I enjoyed the bow a lot but it has the most repetition compared to the other campaign(which I makes sense I suppose, she's following and aiding the players throughout) and outside of the sub doesn't have many unique areas. I will say though that her unique boss was incredibly creepy to look at. As a whole one of my favorite aspects about RE6 were the creature designs. Disgusting and quite varied, even the J'avo themselves differ depending on the area and change what parts they spawn after being delimbed depending on the amount of force used.
RE6 just has a ton of great mechanics and cool little details that balance out the annoying little things by a fair measure to me.
What could be a better use of time than getting an achievement less than 1% of the world has! It's all worth it in the end.
This is great.
Wait, MaldoHD doesn't launch when you launch the game? I assumed it was always working.

No, I need to boot the game, go to the mod menu, activate MaldoHD, and only then does the mod start working.

Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.
The preferred peripheral is a toilet because it is shit.
We're so close to the Holy Trinity of sales. I suggest holding off.

2 months mute is a lot but some players in dota deserve this.This is really funny!
Holy Trinity of sales?
What, where? I can't find it.
Halloween, Autumn & Winter sales. This involves Steam, Amazon, etc.
I wasn't a fan of Jake's because it did have a lot of copy/paste locations and events and by that point I had already played the game twice. Like fighting that one big boss again with
Chris in the village
Ada's was the most disappointing. That first chapter was awful considering how little ammo you have for it. They shouldn't have tried to make it play like the old RE's or a bad stealth game when it was clearly not designed to be. The rest of her chapters were too much copy/paste which made sense for the story, but not for fun. Although I agree her unique boss was pretty cool.
For $10? Fuck yeah do it. I wish I would have known it was going to be $10 only a month after I spent $20 on it.
woo and indeed hoo

Yeah I pre-ordered the game because of some mercenaries gameplay videos that looked interesting despite the hate the game got, so I played the game not really expecting a lot and I really liked it. If you look at the PC RE6 thread too a lot of people were surprised by the quality of the game mechanics compared to the amount of hate the game got, but maybe the price (30) and the fact that we already had all the important patchs helped.
However I thought the campaign was a bit too cinematic (but really that's something that can be said for a lot of big budget games nowadays), too much forced camera angles and QTE (the prelude is the worst introduction you could imagine for that game).
Other than that I liked the campaign (even though Ada's was really the worst and not that interesting) and I absolutely loved Mercenaries, it's kinda cool to play with the game's mechanics without the cutscenes and stuff.
My favorite part is how fast he realizes he's not going to get any sympathy and goes on the attack. 10 posts. Damn.
