In Dishonoured you are a magical assassin, and the game is built around being that.
In Thief you are a frail prowler, and the series was about playing around that.

Yeah that's unfortunate
Still isn't it a little sketchy there isn't a mention of this 5 days before release with a pre-order option up? At the very least they could be upfront with what their intentions are.That's good to hear at least. Thanks for answers!
Yeah that's unfortunate
Yeah, it is poor form. Rayman Legends was the same: Exhibit A (August), Exhibit B (September).

I have a feeling i'll like Thief more than Dishonored when I finally get around to it.
I REALLY did not care for Dishonored.

I don't see a problem taking down let's say an elite guard with a crossbow being a frail prowler. If the implementation is proper the boss concept is viable.
The Thief boss battles are hardly even that. They're more environmental puzzles. One can be escaped, and the other you're pretty much dead in a direct confrontation. I know people like to pile on that game, and while the fights are not great, they aren't that big of a deal either.

I'm just saying having something built around combat isn't an odd expectation in the former, whereas it can understandably raise eyebrows for the latter. They're not the same kind of game.

I don't really need a tag, but I figured I'd get one to make people jealous. Is it working?
Well here's something else I've learned about myself today that'll probably be useful to know; I am terrible at Texas Hold'em style poker. Particularly when playing against cartoon characters.

There's only one "boss" in Dishonored, he's just a target who also had superpowers.
Perhaps. Perhaps not.
Dishonored I felt was far less guided and allowed for a lot more "go about it however you wish" than the new thief does.

As far as Portal 2 is concerned I'm only missing these. Pity all but one of them are co-op-based.
12 on Steam vs 5$ on Amazon.
If Pit Boss is "SHOW THAT PIT WHOS BOSS" just go back to "This is the part where they kill you" and kill yourself. Easy.
Portal Conservation Society and the 60 second one is easy as well if you watch Youtube and know where the portals go.
Yeah, that's what I intend to do, assuming my saves are still up in the cloud. If not I probably won't bother.

Agreed on all accounts. Playing 99 community levels would probably take even longer than grinding 100 wins in Gun Monkeys so I stopped after 25. The interface is generally poor, for example I can only move the cursor when using the digipad and not analog, there's no deadzone for the analog sticks and so on, the whole layout looks like it was designed for touch. Level design is good though (only have a few of the hard levels left) and that's what counts in a game like this but a little more polish would go a long way. Also when using the rewind feature the game sometimes glitches and not everything gets reversed.
I'm missing these, if someone else wants to do them....
Went for a family dinner yesterday since it's Easter time and a good friend and family member asked me if I could install Steam on his PC. "But can my PC can run Steam?" He asked, since he does not have a high-end PC (and neither do I, or so I believe).
He's now looking and the selection of games and it's already lost, hehe. He was looking for something like Age of Empires III which he already own the Physical Edition. There's AoE II HD and Mythology but I need to search for similar titles. I think he also have a physical copy of Settlers but I don't know which one, Rome games might not be his thing.

Bad Rats is a good start.
I really need to get unity of command one of these days, I'd get it on Steam 75% off to use my card moneyz, oh well
Dude. I thought we all agreed to never buy Bad Rats for ourselves, and only buy them as gifts.

Cock Encumbered
Worst part of the game by far.

There are also a bunch of Playfire rewards from Friday. (Awesomenauts, Castle of lllusion, Doom 3: BFG, Killing Floor, Sonic Generations, and Typing of the Dead)
A belated thank you to Shade for Shivah: Kosher Edition! Now to see if it's any goo--
--on the other hand, looks like I'll be busy over the weekend.
Well that my weekend plans up the spout then. And to think I take pity on those who have their hard drives loaded up with everything they own on Steam. PlayFire rewards are taking up all my bandwidth downloading stuff I only really collect.
Edit: Whaaaat? How on earth is Typing of the Dead 8gb?

It looks really good and I agree on comments but I think it's generally best not to read any comments on the Internet (other than on forums and stuff where that's the only point) - Youtube is still the worst IMO.

I actually think Steam would fit very well with some of my family members who are in their 40s or 50s, and have given up games since the end of snes era, especially with all those indie games out nowadays and already having a computer, most games they want to play probably don't need a beefy computer either and the price of entry is incredibly low.
In theory that is, I think they're perfectly content with playing free games on mobile.
just watched that new wolfenstein trailer and uhh i guess i'm the only one but i kinda hated it
gives me the same vibe as the brothers in arms game did, tarantino could get away with it cos he's tarantino, his movie was an instant classic and open to multiple interpretations and it's satire in kind of a cool way. it's not some random violent bullshit with silly music
shit like that wolfenstein trailer doesn't really offend me or anything but man i feel like it's in bad taste
it's also a bit racist lol
like i get it it's hot in brazil
but you know
that is kinda stupid
tbh i'm liking ass creed 3. i thought i'd hate the period cos it's grey and american but it's kinda cool, actually. maybe it gets much worse but i wasn't expecting to actually enjoy it, many issues notwithstanding
