I'm playing far too much Dota because when I skimmed through the page I thought Jase's avatar was Crystal maiden.

Thanks once again for FEAR 2. Just finished, love it from start to finish. Had me on the edge of my seat at times. What excites me the most is I heard the first one is even better, so I think i'll be trying to track that one down soon.
Admittedly i'm not much of an FPS guy, so to others this may have seemed generic, but seeing as i've barely played any since Half Life 1 and 2 and Return to Castle Wolfenstein it all seemed good to me
Aww, I still can't throw money at it.

Halo and Gears, yes, but any attempt by MS to re-enter the PC DD space would live and die by its ability to launch such titles day and date, or near enough, with the X1 releases. Fable's reputation is tarnished beyond repair while I think some have a rather romanticised view of PGR's popularity.
Edit: If you meant Forza, throw it in with Halo and Gears.
All in good time.
Oops, I did mean Forza. I forgot there hasn't been a PGR in a while. I played PGR on the original Xbox and liked it a bit. I tried Forza at a GameStop and it seemed pretty good. I'm not too knowledgeable about realistic car racers though. I prefer arcade style racing.
Fable... I disliked it quite a bit to be honest. I only played the first one.
I've played every Halo and Gears (except Judgement) and those games would be killer on PC.
yup, space opera is boss when done fine, it's all kinds of fun exaggerated silliness with megarace nonsense and everyone yelling and spaceships and lesbians and escaping just right from an explosion and self destruction sequences and sexy ai robots and a billion different terms to explain space-flight and the internet and just overall a lot of cool shit
like seriously who wouldn't want to play captain kirk for fucks sake
also I think my problem with the me3 multiplayer isn't so much that it's not fun but that it affects the singleplayer negatively
Good impressions but I have to wonder where does come from your fascination with these very average games. I think I saw another mod in here saying that Stump playing a good game is something hard to achieve. I'm starting to believe!
First I've heard of the actual date, excellent news! I'll mark that day down as completely ruined already. Can't wait!

I think Fear 2 gets a lot of undeserved hate and Fear 1 a lot of undeserved praise.
Fear 1 overstayed its welcome with me by many hours. Some of the best gunplay in any fps though.

Well, if you have a copy of the game already there's the option of emulating it on NullDC. Pretty much any decent gaming rig these days can perfectly emulate the dreamcast without breaking much of a sweat. So you have options.

I don't know...
I loved Fear 1 but couldn't get into Fear 2 at all.
Maybe I'll give it another look after awhile.
Midtown Madness 3. I never got to play it

Picking between FEAR 1 and 2 is pretty hard, I'd agree. They're very different if I recall correctly, but I really enjoyed the visual pickup of 2 and it's mo' streamlined sections.

Depends on what you like.
Fear 2 had more variety in the gameplay and much less filler.
Fear 1 had far better gunplay.
I appreciate Fear 1, but I never could bring myself to finish it. It felt like it was just repeated the same thing over and over again. Fear 2 I blasted through in a weekend and enjoyed myself.
Also Fear 1 had a cool enemy mobility system that was new to the genre and I think it generated a lot of excitement at the time because of it. Fear 2 didn't really do anything new at all that I can recall.
I see there are new buttons on the webstore, any info on this?

The platforming is better than Uncharted in that it's not braindead. However, some of the camera angles and jump requirements are a bit unforgiving.
And it's more than QTEs that make it like God of War.
anything that hits the ground will kill the puddles.
so both of the combos I recommended will help you out immensely if you time/aim them right.
Yes. Think of them as additional dictionaries.
That's what I said!
Sign me up.
I don't care how much I already own.

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.
Looks like they finally put this into place, after being an Enhanced Steam feature for almost a year now. (for DLC)

Same two I'm looking to pick up
So when can I rename games in the client?
Nah, it's not generic at all. The first two games (and their expansions and DLC) are dripping with atmosphere. I consider the first one a masterpiece, so you'd be doing yourself a favor by playing it.Thanks once again for FEAR 2. Just finished, love it from start to finish.

The third one is dripping with diarrhea, but I must admit that the co-op is tolerable and even... fun. But it's a disgrace to the franchise.
Can I have your version of F.E.A.R.? Mine felt pretty short, lol
The platforming is a bit annoying, like I wanted to drop lower with the grapple but you just fall to your death if you go too low, the rest are still kind of braindead tbh.
I didn't know you could hit the puddles =o I just avoided them the entire fight, that explains it.
Just beat the bat wolf boss with the hammer and he went down much quicker, it was fun!
I had but not anymore as, back then, my 18 or something years old me was dumb as fuck and traded a godly DC and every game I had for a disappointing (at the time at least) secular PS2.
Also, is NullDC the current standard for DC emulation? I'm kinda eager of re-play both Shenmues, as I re-bought them recently! ^^
EDIT: now that I think of it, I also have a Dreamcast, so why bother emulating?
(or are the graphics improvements worth it?)

now you've rebought them I have a feeling the shenmue HD will be released, thanks Copons, the time has come.
Yeah I loved the atmosphere, think it lost abit during the middle though but the opening chapters and the first steps in to the city were amazing. So was the last level!
Yeah I will be avoiding the third after all i've read, unless I see it for dirt cheap!
Well, I rebought them around 3-5 years ago, so the HD reissue should be very near by now.
Yeah, I'm a little disappointed this isn't the case.

Yeah, 3 was when they finally nailed the character designs. It was the right balance between stylized/anime and realistic, the prequels went too far into either direction.
I was really pleased with that since I had the same issues as you with the first game and was really disappointed with the redesigns in the second. Also no more lego hands!
I should replay these in the emulator, well atleast Ep. 3 anyway.

Everyone needs to start tagging the "Pay to Unlock" DLC on Steam as "Pay to Unlock". This it can become a popular tag on things like Magic the Gathering DLC and a lot of the F2P stuff.
