It's a rough game with bad level design, poor allied AI, and really stiff animations? It doesn't feel like a good shooter, much less a good XCOM? The first-person pitch sounded waaaaay better.
Yeah, the AI throughout has been awful. It's a lot like Uncharted's, where it's got that binary seen/notseen state. Even Hitman: Absolution, which was awful, was bad at this. How did precisely no one manage to learn from Thief?
Hm. Given the player's mobility and things they can use (I love silently leaping behind my enemies, then taking them out), I liked it quite a bit. The thing that bugged me the most was the knockout darts being superpowerful with no real drawbacks other than "you might not have some." What this meant was that things were either REALLY EASY or REALLY HARD. There was no middle ground. Oh, sorry, don't have a gas dart? Well, you'll just have to hope that guy doesn't spot you, 'cause if he does, he'll never let you go.

Really enjoyed Fallout and currently playing Fallout 2 (which has so far been great) - I can't really seem to find a Fallout OT Community thread. Is there one? Would people be interested in one?

I think people would be interested. We seem to have people playing it every month here in SteamGAF. Plus what better time to start a community thread than with the eventual FO4 announcement.
I've been wanting to grab it to. I have a soft spot for terrible games.
Have been waiting for a 5 dollar price which hasn't happened yet. Can't be any worse than Vampire Rain.
Freedom = $1.05

Weeklong deals all look terrible, besides the one or two games I already have. My backlog is safe for the time being.

Is it even possible to find the achievements in The Swapper without using a guide? I'm not that far into it, but damn.
The poor allied AI is a direct correlation to the orders you are giving them. Granted the lack of self preservation is quite annoying, once you realize this...the game becomes much more enjoyable.

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.
This particular game's community kind of exploded when Jim Sterling posted a video calling them out on infringing copyright in their trailer. (Example) The dev then said that the people that made the video have been fired, and a new video was put in it's place. Then the devs said they never infringed on copyright. Then the devs went on a rampage and banned a lot of people that posted there.
I'm not sure if the dev requested that the forum be tagged in this way, or if Steam has some sort of automated system for detecting the number of average curse words, but people aren't happy.

You could do a LTTP thread for them.
If you don't already have it lined up next, get/play Brotherhood of Steel, too. I'm fairly confident that you're in the throes of the best of the line-up (which puts it high in the rankings for best game period) but despite a lot of the thrashing BoS gets, it's still worth it.

never seen this warning before

I am afraid that if I buy Dark today, it will be bundled tomorrow
I dunno, I had plenty of "why aren't you doing..." moments in the game. Seriously. They should not be that dumb.
This is 90% of my playtime in Bureau:
Yes. You are a bad person.
DARK is so shit they didn't even bother animating climbing, you just teleport around the place (including halfway up walls as a way of 'climbing')... and the writing is emo 13 year old level. The stealth is a joke and the combat is horrible.
Avoid.

Bureau AI is fine on the lower two difficulties where their fuckups don't mean game over. On the hardest difficulty when they ignore your commands it's impossible not to miss and get frustrated with.

I played through the game without a guide (those beautiful puzzles that occasionally made every lobe of my brain just ache) and didn't get a single one.
I looked up some of the locations and I'm pretty sure there was no way in hell I would have just happened upon them. YMMV, obviously.

LTTP get brushed under the carpet pretty quickly, and there's a lot to talk about in Fallout. It really deserves it's own Community thread.
Never really made an OT Community thread before, so I'll probably need some help/advice.
FO4 and Fallout 1 & 2 getting new ESRB ratings under Bethesda's name. Good times!

They're honestly not to picky if it's just a community thread.
You can basically just look at any Community Thread currently and just copy the format.
Usually just a banner, series synopsis, and listing the games in the franchise
Dude.....THAT sounds fucking awesome.
maybe not 9.99 awesome but definitely worth the 5 bucks i'll wait for it to drop.
Good, good. There's just too many great moments to be had by shear fluke by certain elements coming together. For example, earlier I was chasing down an armoured truck with Aram Khachataurain's Sabre Dance blasting out the radio. Made for a comical yet rewarding chase.

I'm really loving the puzzles, now that I finally have the mechanics understood. I understand finishing the game and getting no cheevos, mainly because they are all going through false walls.
Didn't know if there was some kind of in game hint or something as to locations of the messages. I'm guessing not.

I enjoyed it. Definitely a bad game though.

Considering I have enjoyed games like Aliens Colonial Marines, more than say something like Bioshock infinite and Tomb Raider. It'll probably fit right in with my very odd tastes.

I'm pretty sure I reached my final form:
The combat in Batman Origins is god-tier.

I pushed myself through the tutorial and the beginning of the game for free (which was still like, an hour or two of "gameplay"), and I felt ripped off =p

oh my word

Please tell me that was at least in the 100 to 1 map. That's pretty boss mode.
Shit yes. Now I just need my key from Nuuvem.

I think their quality control should focus on achievement related security holes before we worry about Flappy Bird.

Would be nice.
Didn't Gabe Newell say something like people will be able to open up their own storefronts and curate it themselves?
Can't wait until that happens so I can find someone who has tastes similar to mine and just bookmark their store and go there.
It's been on my wishlist for ages, it looks cool. I have no idea why it's supposed to be bad.

Nah, it was the map on the snowy high-rise rooftop. It felt incredible.
They got the voice of Geralt, and the script is so bad he's just phoning it in (or so I'd like to imagine. Judging by the horrible sound mix, it's probably just incompetent direction)
Enjoy the start of the game: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=foeYkL1s5Ak

GMG and Nuuvem have released DS2 keys, just have to go to your account to access them.

hmm a Win7 reinstall is in due soon. Thinking of also switching from Ubuntu 13.04 to something else too. And should probably repartition too while I'm at it. Not in the mood for it

Yeah it's odd but I have just learned to live with it. Usually if a game is considered garbage. I'll be the one guy who said he liked it.

OK, I know what I'm going to have my computer do while I work on stuff tonight after work.
I'm pretty sure I reached my final form:
The combat in Batman Origins is god-tier.
Is it somehow different than City? Because I seem to remember City being identical?
I found 2 of them by accident, 1 I actively tried swapping into.
I can see how some of the ones you have to jump to reach can be gotten by accident too, but they require really precise jumps.
Yeah without a guide its pretty much impossible to get them all unless you spend a shit load of time swapping everywhere
it's mostly little changes as far as features go, like being able to actually equip your dudes and better ai and such but it's just the wealth of content and the quality of it
it's amazing
i still play it to this day and find new things
there'll never be a game like it

The timing is bit different (and faster) and they made the AI more aggressive which made a lot of people upset. I just leveled up my gaming spirit.
Oooh, that explains why my 'feel' was so off. Thanks.

Yup. Posted before checking the site haha. Need to get home and clear some SDD space now. Now we just have the preload taunting us for the rest of the week.
Definetely something you need to adjust to. I remember the first fight of the game thinking "What the hell is going on?".
