It really only gets fun later in the game when you have more weapon options and the game throws different enemy types at you.

I think it straddles a nice line between 1.6 and Source; needless to say I definitely prefer it to the latter.
Not a burden; an honour.

Thanks
These "artists" at these developers dont know what they are doing or they are trying to hide something. That is all I can conclude from these things.
Amazing.
Never stop buying stuff (within reason).

Well, they are digital anyway.
Why did you even bother with 2 if you hated 1 & 3?
I have a feeling you won't like 2. The game lasts way to long, pads itself with horrible artificial lengthing, and the streamlined combat will wear thin quite quickly.

Probably doing this for frame rate optimization.

It is better than Path of Exile and Diablo 3.
Because I was surrounded by people tleling me i played the bad Assassins creed games and should play 2 and brotherhood. to their credit 2 is much better than 1 and 3 so far, but it has alot of things I dislike.
DOF can be nice. Somebody posted Stacking screenshots a week or two ago and I thought the DOF effect looked quite good precisely because DF didn't go with the one-size-fits-all "make everything super blurry regardless of the focal point/distance" approach.

That's awesome pic lo. Great work from honorless.
The day that I've waited has finally come! My friend delivered his old computer to me after two problematic months. We decided about the price like two months ago but there were some delays with the shipments of parts he needed to build his new gaming machine. And two weeks ago it was announced that the german store that he ordered the parts went bankrupt :/ Anyway my friend then ordered the parts from Finland (its more expensive here) and at last today I got his rig that he built few years ago.
i5 prosessor
Radeon 4800 HD
two months old 128GB SSD (nice!) + 500GB HDD
It's amazing finally to have a machine that can play my whole steam library - now my laptop can stay as an indie machine.
Still I have a lot to do though before I can get somewhat good gaming experiences (and of course, at 2013 this PC is low-end already, yet a big upgrade that I've had ever) - I need to get a monitor that can show 1080p, a new mouse, a new keyboard, maybe a headset.. But it's wonderful - this is my first time using Windows 7 actually (*embarrassed*).
In past four months I've been buying 100+ games that didn't even run in my laptop so that pushed me finally to get a better PC. I actually would have gone build one myself (a beefier one too) if my friend hadn't had his rig on sale.
Edit: sitting here with 490 steam games, pretty overwhelmed what to install! I decided Football Manager 2014 is the first one, straight to SSD. It should benefit from quicker loading times.

I fell for that trap too and even bought Brotherhood after people said it was better than 2.

The new DLC is a character modeled after one of the Yogscast contributors. Right now, I don't think the bundle is worth buying, as you can already get most of the games in it for cheaper.

Safe for today, a couple of games I want to play but ain't going to get round to them soon so can wait for the next sale.
It's a strange game, and definitely not for everyone. If you can like a game mostly for its atmosphere you'll really enjoy it: you can just move through the stages looking at everything with your jaw dropped. The rest is difficult puzzles (you can get some help in-game) and trying to understand the rules of the world, which is more difficult than it sounds. Don't expect much about the story, there is something to get but the game could do without it.
Is it closer to Antichamber or Dear Esther?
woo and indeed hoo

So I just got to the jungle for the fist time in Spelunky. In the first five seconds of being in the Jungle my brain stopped working and I decided to inspect the tiki trap up close
LOL I've not played the game but it is apparent from your post that that wasn't such a good idea! If it makes you feel any better, I am prone to doing things like this too. FTL has been a catalogue of self ownage for me
.I always assume that these dev fads are either to show off how fuck awesome they are [so they can add that to their C.V. for their next move to a new dev, given how staff movement in Western game development seems to be pretty frequent from all accounts] or it's so they can get away with something in a resource sense to then push a different graphical element e.g. moar particle effects!!11!!!

Antichamber, but if I were to compare it to something more accurately I'd say it's more l ike the lonliest parts of the Myst series. Quiet, foreboding with nary a soul around to guide your hand.
Pending turd.
I guess that is closer to Antichamber. I haven't played it, but Kairo is full of puzzles and the importance of the story is close to zero, so I wouldn't compare it that much to Dear Esther. The style is also closer to Antichamber by what I look on the videos.
It's available in the AMD Never Settle Bundle.

Woot! Buying EUIV: Extreme from Nuuvem worked. Great deal. Now I can wait patiently for the DLC to go on sale on steam in the near future. That along with F1 2012 were my most wanted games. Got them both today...sadly, no time to play them with two weeks of this semester left (and 30 pages of writing + grading 24 papers that needs to be done before then). Plus my Vita will arrive on Tuesday and my copy of Gran Turismo 6 will arrive on Friday...just can't win. Finally I have money to buy games, but no time to play them. Instead of plenty of time with no money.
Ah good, I was hoping it just wasn't an "experience" game.

Well on one hand it seams like there are some troubles going on with development and especially feedback. Though on the other the port is being handled by Nixxes so if it is a cluster fuck, it will be the best damned cluster fuck it can be on pc.

I hope the Christmas sale will be better for DLC.
I don't think so:
A) Assassination missions are sporadic within the main mission line and while there are assassination contracts and templars to hunt, these secondary tasks aren't high in number
B) The free-running system received a makeover for the worst in 3 as it now assumes what you want to do rather than leaving certain interactions up to player input, so for instance you can find yourself being magnetically pulled towards a lift you don't want to use simply because you're holding down RT, and while Black Flag's system is less "sticky", traversal problems still do arise
C) Assassin tombs have been replaced with underwater dives in Black Flag, but as I'm a hopeless completionist I haven't progressed far enough into the main campaign to unlock the diving bell just yet, so no thoughts on those I'm afraid
D) There are no horses but there is a ton of sailing, and even when Travel Speed is engaged it can feel rather slow, though the fast travel system has been expanded to ease this concern (every locale and viewpoint can be fast-travelled to)
well if I payed less than 10 bucks I won't really mind all that much
you know it really sucks that ubi gone fucked up this franchise

How's Godus?
I've made peace with Ubi steering the franchise into the direction of an action-adventure kill-em-up masquerading as a stealth game. Desiring that the series return to the concepts abandoned in the move from the original game to the sequel is a lost cause, but as I mentioned earlier in the thread I'd love to see it revisit large, sprawling cities, especially if the next entry is going to built from the ground up with only next-gen platforms in mind -- I want the locale variety of 2 with city sizes comparable to Brotherhood's Rome at the least, in part because I actually loved the tombs in the Ezio trilogy (3 has its own spin on them, but they're significantly smaller).
The sale is a bit too short I think
Save that money and get Brave New World instead.
