Depends on who you ask.
I know it can be a tad rough in polish and difficulty. Butt those who really got into the gameplay enjoyed it.
Spares:
I had to wrap "Block" in brackets as without them the word triggered the BLOCK rule, haha.

I just posted my initial Abyss Odyssey reaction, but I've just started playing Arkham Origins too, so here's that as well
I like Origins more than I thought. I think waiting to play it was probably helpful, as it's been patched to hell and back. Compared to Arkham City, at this point it really feels mostly like more of the same, which is ok as I really like City.
I like the challenges to unlock bonus XP and upgrades by doing certain actions (glide X meters straight, hit X combo, etc.) my complaint with those challenges is having to do them in order like that. I wish they were all unlocked right away, and you unlock the upgrades after doing X number of them in that category. I've done several of them that don't count just in the progress of playing and it's annoying that I'll have to try to do that again. The predator and gliding difficulties are all over the place too which doesn't help, I was stuck on the third predator one for a while and now the next several are super easy.
The slightly expanded detective mode is neat but detective mode could still use some overhauls to make it less linear I feel like. They should make it like a mini-point-and-click game mode, with the option to just auto-complete it for you for people who don't want to puzzle it out.
The use of scenes from Arkham City in a pre-lockdown state is nice, subtle, and scattered throughout. It actually does an ok job as a prequel in the sense of story telling, items, and the city itself so far, although the FEEL of the game isn't very prequel-y.
I don't have any of the DLC as far as I know, but at this point I would say the game is well worth it for people who want more Arkham City until Arkham Knight comes out.

BlockStory --MB-444882D1506D0912- Taken by PLASTICA-MAN
LoL. Is there a user named Story by any chance?
nope
Yep, it's Feep's game.
It's good.

Sadly no. But there is a StoryBook77

It's not a permablock anyway, for that a separate message with 'permablock' in the title is needed.
Just as well the game isn't named Block Storybook77.

Yep Feep. The Tower and Dark Scavenger seem to he well thought of while the other 2 and the greenlight one seem like +1's.
Edit: Oops quoted the wrong post, was meant to be to autofokus. Damn mobile keyboards and big hands.

Ditto for Risen 3. Metro Redux looks like it'll be next.

Sacred 3 and Risen 3. Any hype for those games? I remember Risen not being a very good series in general.

It has 0 positive reviews on Steam. 0.
Feep is involved with this? because that game looks amazing, been on my radar for ages
NightmareTrigger

They have a hard time picking up small objects?
That looks awesome. Although I don't want to use voice commands. I'm too introverted to talk to my games, damnit
Wish it had a Steam page so I could wishlist it.

I'll jump on the bandwagon for Sequence. Played it and though it was Good game. I'm going to pass on that bundle though, as I already own some of them.
Not particularly. Sacred 3's visual style received a lukewarm response when it was unveiled and Risen 3 is the sequel to a game that many felt was inferior to its predecessor.

That true? I've been debating whether to give the Risen series a try. Maybe I should try Divinity 2 (have not played any) or Witcher 1 for my next RPG kick.

Hmm, that radial-menu user interface starting at 0:40 looks really clunky / slow / console-ized. Hope there isn't too much form-over-function going on in the PC version.
Yep, it's his new game.

S3's bigger problem is that it's apparently a shallow action-hack'n'slay instead of the relatively deep rpgs S1 and 2 were.

Yeah, I've been wanting to play it for a long, long time now, but I can't justify the crazy key prices on TF2Outpost. Wanted to do a marathon with that, Wolf3D and RTCW.

haha. I just reposted it too, will it happen again

Just use "Bloc" instead of "block?"
Seems like Stump needs to move the rules filter into some relative word-censor/block rulelist instead of exact.
That or maybe have rules start with *?
*put wallet away*
Thanks for confirming my suspicion.
Btw, I think I prefer blonde Saoirse.
at least straighter hair.Definitely play Witcher 1.
I think Wolf09 is in a particularly tight spot because it's a project Acti almost assuredly lost money on. Acti wanting Bethesda to cover the remaining cost of development and marketing (haha) + Bethesda finding the price tag too extravagant = impasse.
No. That'd be a major privacy concern.

Yeah, I don't consider it flattering at all, haha, but I figured I'd enjoy the joke and wear it for a week (unless new avatar material surfaces in the interim).

Morning!
Still no beta for the crew :E I signed up in the E3 and nothing, I hate Ubisoft.

Nor should they.
It's really not any good and there is very little that anyone could find to get some sense of enjoyment because it's simply just not complete in most areas. Honestly if someone told me Evilized Productions had stopped working on it mid development beta, I would believe them.
Locations are barren beyond base images and never feel filled in like part of a world, the monsters just pop out of nowhere randomly it feels like, combat (select weapon) feels slow and clunky, menu options to change things do little if they are in the game at all, only a couple of animations, not level design principles to guide the player, and there is very little to actually do Adventure wise making it flop in it's main draw besides horror.
No competent game that could be enjoyed because it's a bad game, it's just a poorly made game that doesn't make anyone who plays it really want to spend much time without it outside of extreme boredom or a sense of having to beat every game they buy. I simply can't imagine anyone here getting anything out of it outside of a +1. Oh wait, I guess someone will grab it for that as long as they don't play a lot of their games.

listen to the mad man
I thought I had it set to require rules be written in all-caps but I'm guessing people didn't listen in the past and I made it more permissive.
