whats the difference between doom 3 and doom 3 bfg?
Click to expand...

The biggest difference is the BFG is a technical downgrade from the original release. Removes some graphical features and the ability to use mods.

GAF. Hitman: Absolution has me on the fence because of mixed reception. As someone who enjoy's "action stealth" and has never played prior Hitman games, will I enjoy Absolution? How does it perfom on PC?

Play Blood Money first.

Chaos Theory, Ground Zeroes, and Thief II would also be easy to recommend.

I was the same. Big Blood money fan. Read all the bad press and stayed clear. Then got given Absolution by a Gaffer and absolutely loved it. I can see why people were upset about the X ray vision and other powers but the game as a stand alone is still a lot of fun. Some great levels.

The stealth aspect isn't all that great in Absolution. Especially the small, finer details. Why can't we turn off lights and close doors when we dispose of a body? Leaving things out of place is so far from what a contracted killer would do.

It varies. As a stand alone I'd like it, but having played the Hitman games consecutively I guess it just put me off.

Can't seem to find an exact answer but does the BFG edition allow 360 controller support?

I'm one of those PC 'couch potatoes'. ;)

The gameplay design does get criticized, but the main criticisms seem to center on the shallow level design.

There are a few open levels, but the majority are poorly designed.

I've found the same with the DMC complaints. The media likes to latch onto the few loud people who have issues with the writing or aesthetics, but the bigger issues are with the gameplay.

People voted for a game that was already less than £1?


This is why democracy doesn't work, because most people are idiots ;)

Orion Prelude winning over OMSI 2 is a crime. It was the only choice of those three to get the bonus. The discount was awful but the other two were like $.99 or below that, WHY THE HELL DO THEY NEED A FURTHER DISCOUNT!? UGH. Steam community continuing to show they shouldn't be able to vote on deals.

Orion is, but the plane game is more expensive than OMSI 2.

Man, I just have to take a moment to complain. The front-page is such a fucking mess. What happened, Valve?

Have The Walking Dead games ever gone below 75% off? I'll probably pull the trigger, but $4.99 would be sweet.

Only thing I see today is Bioshock Infinite Season Pass but I still can't pull the trigger at $9.99.

At this point I want anything to spend my money on. When does this sale end again?

NEVERMIND it's on the store page.

I think I'm going to get Trails in the Sky and hope that Walking Dead circles back around as an encore deal.
