Since there was talk about Win 8 tablets a few hours ago I thought that I'd mention my experience with Deus Ex The Fall on my z3775 Bay Trail T100. At 1366x768 it ran perfectly with AA off and vsync on. With vsync off it didn't drop below 70 fps that I noticed while testing and often went into triple digits. Turning on AA put it in the 40-50 range. If touch control is an option that came over from iOS/Android I didn't see it, but I wouldn't want to do that anyway.

This is so stupid. People really are judging the entire game by a looping gif that enhances the effect?

I played the game. It's not great and doesn't live up to DX HR, but summing it up with a gif of the shooting, which doesn't give you that seizure effect when you're playing, is moronic at best. You can even get rid of the recoil. People need to grow up and stop gleefully finding stuff to hate all the time.
It's a good way to reveal who jumps on hate trains just to jump on hate trains rather than sticking to sharing impressions about games they have actually played.

Oh boy, Daikatana. I got that game day one back then because even after all those delays i was still so hyped about it ... never finished it :D
Don't know if i should get that bundle. Have already played most of these games with the exception of the Hitman games, The Fall, Nosgoth and Battlestations but now that people mention sleeping dogs this might actually be useful to finally get my hands on the uncut version of that game.

wait is the game really not like that? Have I been misled like how I was thinking that Hitman Absoulution wasn't even a good game?!?

Hitman Asspollution isn't a good game, and The Fall is a million times worse.
Not because of the recoil thing, but because it's just a bad game.

The Fall's recoil gifs come from Totalbiscuit's impressions video of it. No idea if it's actually like that. Apparently it was a glitch/bug.

Yeah Ventara posted that youtube video just now of what it's really like. Now I wonder what other games I've been misled about because of .gifs -_-. Does anyone know if the gameplay and level design is atleast decent? Level Design is what always made a Deus Ex game a Deus Ex game to me.

For what it is worth I don't think The Fall is that bad if you can get past the awful tutorial and the fact this was clearly designed as a mobile title. It played a lot like a miniature Deus Ex experience.

Sue me but I enjoyed it.

Anyway, on another note, does Anachronox hold up these days?

Just watch this to see how bad it is. Basically, don't even bother. It's not worth the time let alone the money. Skip to 6:30 if you want to see the gameplay.

The level design was made to facilitate touch tablet controls.
It's incredibly bland and basic.

Anachronox is still fantastic.
It has a few weird glitches under windows 7, but nothing really game-breaking.
 
I had forgotten that I already had this from when Amazon gave it away for free.

Just a suggestion, but would anyone like to do Team Fortress 2 for game night instead of Counter Strike Global Offensive for once?

I would like to, thought it seems I never actually have time to play when game night starts. I prefer TF2 over CS:Go in terms of shenanigan potential
