Oh, I meant the actual game, not just the port. I never played LR and somehow never heard people talking about it too much -- not for the better nor for the worse. But I was always curious because of the music, so I figured this would be a nice opportunity to grab it.

the game is nice. very underrated. story is so so and actual game play can be confusing. but after you handle it. it feel really nice control each squad

Is a very good game with some obscure mechanics. Quite hard too.

It might take some time to actually click, in the sense the more you play, the more you'll get a hand of the actual mechanics and the more it makes sense.

Any chance someone who bought that Square Enix Holiday Box still has a Final Fantasy XIII-2 50% coupon and don't need / want it?

I would greatly appreciate it if so.

Lol, thanks for the heads-up! I saw SaGa's Kawazu was involved with it in some way or form, and with him aboard there's very little chance of a game being "normal", so I'm going in with an open mind about some systems being a bit complex/obscure and that things will, indeed, take a while to click.

My first pickup is OlliOlli and I'm not digging it at all. HumbleBundle has this for $3 and I've been wanting to try it out for months but I just can't get into it. It's probably the only thing I'll buy until X-Mas when hopefully I get some cards and cash to buy some stuff.

Has anyone played much of SNOW? It looks like fun, I just wasn't really clear on what the different packs were getting me? Also does anyone have a motocross game they would recommend on Steam? Are the MX vs ATV games any good?

OlliOlli underwhelmed me, too. I plan to give it another try but it just feels off to me.

You definitely have to retrain your brain if you use a controller. Nothing controls quite like it. Feels like it would be more fun on a vita than at my desk.

I'm thinking about picking up Evil Within and the new Wolfenstein but I have an AMD card (a 280 to be exact) and I've heard both games run poorly on AMD cards, what kind of performance/graphical level am I looking at?

Check if anyone on youtube uploaded gameplay with your hardware, there was a recent patch for TEW that helped performance quite a bit even on weaker cards plus whatever AMD drivers just came out. My friend uses a 7770 and ran it 1080/30.
 
So I haven't been keeping up with uplay--do I need to be online to play games or does it just check once when I run the game?

If it makes any difference the game in question is AC:Black Flag.
 
I don't suppose there's anything I can get for like... 75 cents, is there? (it's all I have after selling some trading cards)

Dead Bits is still 14 cents. It's terrible. But it has cards! So you can at least make most of your money back while you are realizing how bad it is.
 
The Last Remnant is very satisfying to play.

It takes some effort to understand the unions and not getting obliterated, but hearing that "OH HO!" when Rush wrecks somebody feels really good.

Still need to go back and finish the PC version, I'm like two dungeons away from the end (completed the PoS 360 version back in the day).

EDIT: Emma Honeywell is a total badass. One of the best female characters of last-gen.

I hope CS:GO goes on flash deal soon, I don't want to spend $10 on it.

Probably won't happen

The game already has a cheater problem which is why it doesn't go that low anymore. Cheap copies = cheaters stock up just use a new one when they're banned. With how slow Valve bans cheaters, it's pretty awful for the community when the game goes on sale.
