I remember trying it, and not being that impressed with it, that combined with the server issues just meant I never went back. The death matches were just who spots who first thanks to aim assist and the racing was just everyone bashing into each other instead of actually racing.

Pretty sure those are in the works. RE5 for sure at the very least.
I think MS is going to keep GFWL up but just barely.
do we have some numbers? I also think that GTA online fell of the earth. Nothing to do with being an Online game.

People don't talk about them anymore. I don't mean KDR bragging, but there's no buzz. Especially compared how they were hyped up. They're like footnotes at this point. Just look at other popular MP games.

I know that feel. 9 years on steam and I went from 68 games to 154 this may. (Reason is I ordered an oculus rift and that got me back into PC gaming after 8 years on 360)
There's not much left I want to buy though. 15 games on my wishlist. I guess in 2 years I will still be below 200 in total.

Just last week was a long thread about how battlefield 4 is like a new game.

A thread. Online games aren't like single player titles where everyone and their mother makes a thread about their impressions. At least not months after launch.
Just don't think a dearth of threads or front page bumps means a game is dead.

I kinda wanna play this thing
There's nothing stopping you from playing right now.
It's evil-ish. The free part only covers 1 rifle (with unlimited ammo), 2 animals (Mule deer and rabbits), and 1 hunting reserve. I don't know if they're planning on changing things for the Steam release, but that's the state of play right now.
The meat of the game can be munched in the following ways...
- Subscribe for 3, 6, or 12 months.
- buy daily/weekly/monthly hunting licenses for specific animals, and weapons/ammo with em$ (In-game currency that costs real money)
- buy daily/weekly/monthly hunting license for specific animals, and weapon/ammo with gm$ (A different kind of in-game currency you can earn by completing missions. There's only 1 weapon you can buy with gm$; a single-shot shotgun)
Edit: You can check out the cost of everything in the store here: http://store.thehunter.com/#store/0 (I thought you had to sign-in to view it, but you don't)
I've put just shy of 700hrs into the game over the past year and would recommend that my fellow GAFfers give the freebie side of the game a try. It's not without its flaws (animals are pretty dumb so the game is arguably "easy", and animal render distance is short enough to more-or-less make bullet drop a non-issue for rifles) and it would probably bore the pants off many, but it's a fairly unique experience.
It's a Family Guy sketch.

Huh, I was waiting for this to release. Thanks for the heads up and impressions!

Who's talking about them being dead, who's talking about first page bumps?
All I'm saying is, despite the hype they're disappeared from gaming discussion both from gamers and the media. There's simply no buzz. When Modern Warfare launched it was a talking point for a long time mainly for its MP. Dota is still a talking point. Everyone talks how CS:GO turned itself around. Riot likes to remind people how popular LoL is etc There's just nothing regarding TF or GTAO. The publishers aren't bragging (save for T2 exec about microtransactions), the players aren't making a fuss. There's no news circulation. They just came and went.

Just seems like you don't really look for discussion about them. I haven't read a single thing about Counter Strike: GO since launch but I'm not going to say the game is no longer being played or talked about because I don't care about it. And the T2 exec's comment implied they've made more money from the microtransactions than most AAA games make on their own so one imagines at least a few people have to be playing.
And no online FPS game has been talked about as much as the original Modern Warfare. It was everywhere.

I won the Deus Ex Human Revolution raffe!! Thank you danielcw. Also thanks to BorntoPlay
& Giard who made the raffle possible. I never played a Deus Ex title before. Looking forward to play it whenever I build my PC (hurry up Intel & nvidia)
Is it necessary to play the first 2 Deus Ex before this one ?

Great. Did the old games age well ? I'm having problems right now enjoying Tomb Raider 1. That game really has annoying controls, but I will still finish my Tomb Raider Collection on Steam. Gotta defeat the backlog

Play Tomb Raider Anniversary instead which is a 'remake' of TR1.
Human Revolution was released years after Deus Ex 1 and is its prequel. You don't have to play Deus Ex 1 first, but the very first game is considered the best in the series.

I'd say the first Deus Ex has aged quite a bit better than the first Tomb Raider. You can play it looking as is, or there're some texture mods you can use to help with the graphics some if they're too dated for you. I think the things that might be toughest to adjust to is the level design and maybe the mechanics in general. They're a little more complex than we're used to these days. Totally enjoyable after you adjust though.Great. Did the old games age well ? I'm having problems right now enjoying Tomb Raider 1.

Anyone who knows me knows that I'm incredibly hyped about Eternity as well, but to tell the truth Eternity is a far less ambitious game overall. It "only" seeks to recreate Baldur's Gate.
On the other hand, Divinity: OS tries to create a seamless open world game which combines the incredible interactivity and situational options of Ultima 7 with the depth of the greatest turn-based combat games like Temple of Elemental Evil. It's almost preposterous how much they are trying to do, and surprising how well it has worked out.
Really, that this game is flying under the radar as low as it is is one of the greatest crimes against gaming.

I have that stick (for the reasons you mentioned) and it's for PS3, never had an issue using it on PCif you guys wanna get srs about that stuff this stick can be found on sale for like $50 or less a lot
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B004M23RAC/?tag=neogaf0e-20
and it's totally fine, and easily moddable
you might wanna get the 360 version though. I got the PS3 one and while it recognizes most fighting games on PC just fine, it has some issues with others.

Yeah I played the demo of that some time ago. People suggest playing it instead, but I normally don't have problems with old games. Just this one is kinda clunky to control and also runs in stupid DOSBox. I use a keyboard btw, makes it even worse, but I'm already halfway through, going to finish it after spending 9 hours with it.
I don't have the old Deus Ex. Might get them in a sale somewhere.

The first game is still playable if you install some mods to update the textures and related aspects. Some of the writing leaves a bit to be desired though. The sequel, Invisible war, is fundamentally an awful game.
Wrap around, I had no space.
Crap update. How do I get this into a sprite form?
EDIT: I need a scanner.
EDIT 2: Or a Tablet.
EDIT 3: I have yet still got to learn how to use RPGMaker.
