So right after I bought a few things before the switchover, I then dropped on...

Batman: Arkham Asylum GOTY,
Batman Arkham City GOTY,
LEGO Batman 2,
Orcs Must Die! - Artifacts of Power DLC,
Orcs Must Die! - Lost Adventures DLC, (had the original slumbering in my inventory)
and Orcs Must Die 2 - Complete Pack - 2 Pack for me and a friend

That's a lot of Batman.

One question about Arkham City, some people say they "hate the new Catwoman intro," like on the Giant Bomb Quicklook for the Wii U version. Did they change the game intro from how the game was initially released? What was it like before?

Too many games. There's just too many of them games.

I'm out. Maybe I'll launch a game I bought from the summer sale or something...

Yeah, right. DotA - here I come!

CyL swan-diving into the leaves. Makes sense. CyL is probably closest to a cat, and cats are pretty good at landing gracefully. Terminal velocity for a cat is apparently around 100km/h, which is a lot slower than a human, plus they have the righting reflex. The Straight Dope linked me to a study conducted in the Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association which suggests that about 90% of cats survive multi-storey falls, because once they hit terminal velocity they stretch out sort of like flying squirrels so that more drag occurs and they land slower. I think CyL has got no problem

And it's confirmed that this point that Sir Roderick is basically a yellow sheet and a skull, so he's parachuting. No problem.

But Tappet (who is looking quite obese from having eaten an entire turkey, holy shit, what a jerk move, you need to share with everyone else) is going to be in a lot of pain when he hits. Maybe it's an Assassin's Creed thing, where no matter how far you fall, you're okay if a bunch of leaves breaks your fall?

I'm on the edge for Dishonored at 24.99€, I've looked at a couple of impressions and so on, but I wanted to know what GAF thinks about the game.

Is it worth the price? I've read that is not really a good port, there's way to fix this? (Like Durante did for Daemon's Soul).

I don't need links or other about fix ecc, just to know if it's overall worth the price and effort.

Yeah I tried Kotor 2 but the first level really drags, did they think fighting dozens of spider bots would be fun? Gonna shelve them for now, theyre pretty long so Id rather beat the other games I bought first

It's a good port but not a great game. It's a really poor stealth game with poor level design and as an action game it's kind of easy and sub par due to the powers. Like all hybrid stealth games it has no idea what it really wants to be and ends up failing at doing both successfully. It also only has 4 or 5 "normal" levels before the story pulls a Bioshock and falls apart with more linear areas and rushed last few levels.

It's not awful but extremely disappointing considering the developer pedigree behind it. It's more Invisible War than Deus Ex to sum it up quickly.

Is there someone willing to buy two packs of Orcs Must Die 2 and Torchlight 2? I would do it, but I'm from Europe and it's more expensive.

Very tempted to see what Dishonored is all about. I hated Bioshock however; but I love Deus Ex. And this is why I'll probably never buy it.

I bought Dishonored off of GMG earlier this week, and I'm personally loving it so far. Fantastic game in my opinion.

It feels more like Deus Ex and less like Bioshock to me.

I forget how to hide stuff in my quote soooo. Quote me for a Steam BIOSHOCK key. Hopefully it will work on your computer as I cannot get it to work on mine (I already own it)

The only thing that could possibly bring up bioshock comparisons is the art style. For some reason people want to say the powers resemble Plasmids but they really don't, if you're going to say that then any first person game that has powers is Bioshock.

It's more Deus Ex and Thief then anything, but be warned it's more like Invisible War/Human Revolution and Deadly Shadows than Deus Ex 1 and Thief 2. It's definitely made for the current console gamer in mind.

I agree there, it's probably going to be 9 or 10 on my list. However in the weakest year in gaming history I'll let you decide whether I consider that a strong accomplishment or not.

Torchlight 2 do anything above and beyond a standard action rpg? After having sunk so many hours into Sacred 2, Diablo 3, and Titan Quest, not sure if I'm looking to jump into another one of these.
