I saw that spike through the neck death animation waaay too many time. Should have called it Torture Porn Raider though that doesn't make lick of sense but then again neither does Tomb Raider as she didn't do much of that either.

Lara Croft Death Simulator 2013.

Like all Mercury Steam games, the design is dogshit and the gameplay is just no fun at all.
Quit while you're ahead is what I say.

Aw shit, this is not what I wanted to hear.

I was hoping someone was going to come in and say "Hey, you just suck at the game and here's how you do combat: <XXX>".

I really want to like this game. It has really nice art (and tons of visual variety) and 3rd person action/actiony/rpg games are pretty much my favourite, but it feels like it's fighting me at every step.

Even when it's not frustrating, it's incredibly ponderous. Not necessarily the controls, but the macro design and scene pacing. Instead of obstacles to overcome it feels like a series of busywork roadblocks put in your way towards fun.

Damn, this may be the first game I quit without finishing since Lone Survivor.

Start collecting gog games.

There was a point where I was expecting to spend more on GOG throughout the year than Steam... but needless to say that didn't happen.

Have you run out of things to buy or something?

Nah, I have a list of stuff. I just haven't gotten around to it yet as I'm still toying with the idea of ordering a 980 today. I couldn't even buy anything yesterday as my bank had a massive network outage (just as well I had $24 in cash on me when I went to pick up my pizza, haha). When my card was declined I thought that maybe I'd purchased something stupid while drunk the night before.

Damn, Castlevania Lords of Shadow is just full of terrible design choices and constant aggravations. Just so much bone-headed stuff that I can't understand why the developer left it in and I've barely started the game.

I cannot for the life of me understand the praise that game gets. Granted, I only made it through act 1, but I felt like I was suffering through it rather than playing it (due to many of the faults you pointed out).

At that point I thought surely it gets better from here and went to the internet. Turns out, yes it does get better, after Act 2, which is supposedly the worst part of the game. Hearing that killed any desire I had to continue on, since I couldn't imagine playing an act worse than the one I had just played.

Plus you have to buy DLC to get the ending to the game. Fuck that game.

It's better than a more self-destructive addiction.

What, like DOTA?

So when I got my whole new PC a month ago (Haswell-E! 16 gigs of DDR4 ram!) I went from a 650ti to a 980.

It's an *awesome* upgrade. The 980 can run just about anything at 1440 at max or near-max settings.

I know this is off topic, but that attack on micro-brewed beer from that new Budweiser commercial... I will never drink their shit again. Even if it's offered to me. It's not like I drink it anymore anyway.

Bah!
 
Time for some RPGs! (according to their Steam tags anyways, lol)

With only a day and a few hours left, is the Bundle Stars Fully Loaded Bundle worth it?

Wrack
DARK
BlazeRush
Onikira: Demon Killer
Super Toy Cars
Magnetic By Nature
Silence of the Sleep
The Joylancer: Legendary Motor Knight
The Detail Episode 1
Z

I'd say it is, Wrack is a pretty good shooter, and The Joylancer is also a nice game. Dark is awful as far as I know, but Silence of the Sleep has pretty good reviews here.
