This may also be a reference to an airman from Catch-22.
I'm not a fan of the way they're presenting it either.

Don't buy it for multiplayer unfortunately. The multiplayer can be good, but if you're going to try and get into it for the Map Editor, and user created maps, then don't bother. The way Ubisoft set up the multiplayer lobby system to be just like COD and Halo, SEVERELY gimped the process to get maps discovered. Far Cry Instincts, and Far Cry did it so much better, because you could run public lobbies featuring yours, and other's maps.
And to think I put so much work into my Metal Gear Solid 3 Map, and it barely got noticed because of it.

How active is the MP in the game? Been wanting to play it with the new GPU's.
My promised write up on combat of Skyborn.
Little about generalities. The game has dual wielding, material collecting, crafting, augmenting equipment, side quests and even card collecting. The game after my heart almost.
Enemies are visible, but not in a way that you know what you encounter, it's rather symbol of encounter, still helps if you wanna avoid battles, making in RE (random encounters) free game.
Combat is based on threat levels. Every aggressive action you take during combat raises your threat level, and the member of party with highest threat is attacked by all enemies. So, you need to plan your battles accordingly, not letting weakest members to be attackers all the time. There are plenty of magic, skills and types of attacks. I'm just couple of hours in, so that my change, but a game seems to be on easy side so far, fortunately it lets you change difficulty at any time. Combat is turned based.
Dungeons so far were basic, simple, but that still can change.

I see Sleeping Dogs for $5. Worth it? Is any of the DLC worth my money?
Sleeping Dogs was worth the full asking price, for 5$ it's a steal! Get it.
Yeah i paid almost full price for it back in the day and had lots of fun with it. I can't comment on any of the DLC though.
Sleeping Dogs is amazing! One of my favorite games from 2012.
Far Cry 2 is the one to get.
It's a weird game in the series with it's janky-european style mechanics, but once you get into the groove it's amazingly enjoyable. Just imagine it as a survival fps game where you've managed to piss off all of Africa and are stone set of tracking you down from the other side of the map to try and kill you. The local militia seem to have a limitless private army due to the fact that you kill every single guard at a checkpoint on a regular basis, but still they keep sending more guards to cover the checkpoint in. The local militants also love to place explosives right at their base which usually doesn't end well for them - oh and you can heal yourself from drowning by taking bullets out your arm.
Oh yeah, totally get Sleeping Dogs as well.

Far Cry 2 feels like a job. Far Cry 3 feels like a videogame.
Yes, if you are still on edge check out the Sleeping Dogs Thread, a lot of postie opinions on the game in there:

I played the demo and it was fun. I still have to put some time into the game proper though.

Far Cry 2 an interesting experience regardless of where you fall on its qualities, it's a bold game that I'd really love for the "AAA" space to try more of. Far Cry 3 by comparison feels like a garbage collecting sim.
I've never seen a game so reluctant to use its open world. You empty out vast swathes of the world as you progress, side missions are incredibly limited in how they allow you to approach, and even main missions are completely unwilling to allow you stray off the beaten path.

Sleeping Dogs is a great game. Even if you see it as a GTA clone, it's enjoyable, and should satisfy the urge for an open world crime game until GTAV is released on PC.

Sleeping Dogs is worth it and then some. The atmosphere it weaves is amazing and they actually gave a damn about the PC Port. The Combat is an immensely satisfying but simple melee combat system.
The only story DLC i've played is Nightmare in Northpoint and I can really recommend it. It's kind of like Red Dead Redemption's Undead Nightmare in that they're both intentionally campy with an extra bit of spices added in via references to supernatural folklore for the respective cultures they're set in.

Anno 2070 was probably just a special case to apologise for Anno 1404 not being quite ready.
wasn't it Anno, Trials and something else though?

Capcom is guaranteed to get my money for RE 4 on day one.
Should they also get $15 for Strider?

Awwww shit. I just looked at my bank account and found out that I have used literally no money in London. My friends bought a shitload of stuff, I didn't find anything (almost) interesting since I already have most of the stuff I need.
I must wait for the Steam Indie sale in march.

Damn, even GoG is getting on the Regional Pricing bandwagon.
And the users responds with a GoG petition.
Guess their The Regional Ripoff: Why Can't Gaming Be Fair? argument failed economically.

Hello new thread, I hope you are as good to us as the last one was.
Also for those that missed it, Groupees build a bundle out of four Greenlight titles with Battlepaths being free. http://groupees.com/bagb5
Also rain.

I won't make an argument yet again for absolutely loving Far Cry 2 (still one of my favourite FPS in recent years) but I will argue that if you want the Far Cry 3 experience but actually fun and good to get Far Cry 3 Blood Dragon. Less bullshit, more fun story, same decent combat but in a fun as hell 5 - 6 hours. Not 20 - 25 hours of shitty collecting and trapsing around yet another dull tropical island as one of the worst main characters in recent years.

>:-/ ! Why can't we all have nice things?
damn, that's bad, like really really bad. If even gog goes this way, all is lost.
It seems they are talking only about some new releases, but we all know that's how it starts and how it ends.
