Sounds a lot like traits/descriptions given from those goddamn books in the Darkest Dungeon.

The hell that's like something you have to at least try.
youre killing me here
RE5 and RE6 are horrible pieces of trash that no one should play.
Or something.
RE4 may or may not be good, it's up for debate.

To be fair, Resident Evil 6 isn't a shitty game, it's just a shitty Resident Evil game. It's a fairly decent Call of Duty game if you do it right.
Tales of Zesty apparently coming to Steam.

New job is really cutting into my steaming 
such good news
Heck, I'll admit the storyline is super dumb and the level design ranges from mediocre to straight garbage, but my GOD that gameplay. It's right up there with Vanquish for me.
Hopefully this heralds more than just one Tales game coming. I already own a ps3 but it would be nice to have a version with rock solid 60 and higher than 720p resolution.

I ended up having to turn it down to amateur and just screw around the entire time, knifing everything in sight and unloading clips until things turned to ash. It wasn't anything to do with actual difficulty, it was literally just retooling my brain to think of it in terms of Call of Duty rather than Resident Evil. Once I did that, it became tolerable in short bursts.
Also, pretending I have a "Follow" app on my little cell phone thingy is funny to me. .

Steam going to be drowning in anime before long.
Did you also play them for 20 minutes before you made this conclusion?
OK, wait, maybe I looked up two hints. Was that the bit where
you had to pick the neighbor's lock and go across the balcony?
The place I definitely looked up was where you had to
call the guy and offer him a job

Finally, the prophecy of complete global saturation will be fulfilled.

Oh btw this RE5 talk is funny because I just finished it and the bonus chapters about 2 weeks ago on PS3 (from PS+).
The thing is that RE4 tries to straddle the line between old RE and an action game: it takes place in spooky environments, there is an open map with backtracking, and there are puzzles throughout. RE5 is pretty much an action game through and through: it takes place mostly outside during the day, it has chapters that are very linear, there's one puzzle in pretty much the entire game and it's very easy, and there's tons of ammo. The surprising thing is, despite all that, it's very fun to play. I definitely still think RE4 is a much better game, and I get why people are turned off by 5.

Sure, I'll play it... Someday.
It's not high on my priority list to get, sorry.
Take out those awful turret sections and every instance of QTE, and I would be just fine with Resident Evil 5 as just another action game.
As long as I only play the Mercenaries and multiplayer modes of Resident Evil 6, I can consider it a great game that deserves more love for those specific parts of it.

RE5 has such an idiosyncratic play style that once you learn the way it wants to be played, and fall right in, I found it to be quite rewarding.
That is, when it wasn't devolving into "puzzle fights".
The strange character persistence, gun+melee interlocking combat style, and bizarre co-op partner management created a 3rd person action game unlike any other. I appreciated its brazen sense of self.
Still have no idea how to beat that turret boss on higher difficulties though.

You're playing Thi4f, a game everyone knows that you hate.
You have weird priorities.
He's in Separate Ways though.

Oh, no, not what I was expecting. Me and one other GAFfer that got stuck on
the part where you're being chased through a building. You go up an elevator and race to a locked door, where there's limited time (mere seconds) to figure out how to open it. The little lock thing beside it is hard to see, and we both ended up needing to look it up before we could get past it.
Gemini Rue is a great game, though I prefer the Blackwell trilogy to it as far as Wadjet Eye games go.
Wesker is in RE4, so I don't know what you're going on about.
not in the original GameCube version... only added as a scrap later for lesser consoles of the time
not a central figure like in RE5
Dunno if somebody already brought that up, but Injustice is R$ 3,99 at Nuuvem (converts to like, 1 dollar), and it activates on Steam.

Put them both on my wishlist for the next sale. Thanks!
I don't think I've played that one either! I've seen the movie though, that probably doesn't count.

Wakka wakka?
Wesker is in the Gamecube version of RE4.
In Mercenaries.

What? really? omg... Tales of games are my most wanted PC ports ;_;
I can imagine it now. 720p, 30 fps and atrocious loading times to battles.
It's research.
The control system really is a case study in "never ever do this because jesus fuck this is horrible"
The sound people need a serious spanking, and the voice director... yeah.
Also OCD =p
Use the turrets, well, get Sheva to do so. Shoot at the tentacles. Then the tongue. Get the first aid spray by the cabin, hope for the best, really. I had infinite ammo my second play through, so it was easier on higher difficulties, but fuck Irving. :c

Price not low enough, and it went on sale even before episode 2 came out, so I suggest you wait like me.
Well it is Namco, so yeah expect that. But Durante should be able to fix it up for us.
Why Namco Bandai Games doesn't merge with BANDAI NAMCO Games is anybody's guess.

Anybody playing Darkest Dungeon? It can be really annoying at times due to the manufactured difficulty but is damn satisfying when you succeed. A great Early Access game and fully worth it at $20
So I thought I would play the one game I bought from the holiday auctions which was Light. Just prior to installing it, I decided to take a look at the reviews. General consensus says it's extremely short, as in 45 minutes short. Well I was thinking, it couldn't be that bad, could it?
Actually, they were telling the truth including getting 100% of the achievements which took an hour. But here's the kicker, I only received 1 of the 3 card drops from completing the game and the community forums claim it'll take several more hours for the rest of them to drop. No leaderboards from what I could tell, gameplay is very basic with only two enemies (one of which are cameras) and laughable "gripping" narrative.

Basically, this.
I was looking forward to Light for its stealth gaming, but what I got was pretty sad and laughable.

There's a bunch of publisher/developer listing problems along those lines.
Someone light the Jshackles signal.

Well I played 5 for a few hours with a friend before saying "This is boring you play this with Jorge." then I ate pizza. 6 I've enjoyed thus far due to the great combat mechanics.

(BTW, how was that Game of Thrones TT game?)
Finished the first ep last night, not quite sure where I stand yet. Like the books, you play a cadre of characters each with a chapter/chapters of their story at a time. Some interesting, some not. It was cool to see characters like Tyrion, Cersei and Margaery, though she seems to suffer from a terrible case of triangle-head. Much more than Natalie Dormer irl.
Obvious spoilers
I hope the some of the good guys start to win at least a little. I understand the "your favourite character dies" mantra of the books/show, but jeez, it's already pretty grim.
Isn't that because of the different names they used to use in the West and Japan though?
In the West they'd use Namco Bandai up until last year, where as Japan it was Bandai Namco. They finally standardised it to Bandai Namco the other year though.
