Diablo 3 if you want something better.
Van Helsing if you want a lesser Diablo 3 with no online only requirement (this is a big plus, nothing like a network disconnect ruining your mood).
Grim Dawn is interesting, no online only requirement though not as fun as D3 or Van Helsing.
I highly dislike PoE but many swear it's awesome. It has the same problem as D3 = it's online only.
I don't think Diablo 2 holds up today, with the clunky and obstructive UI and the 800x600 max resolution, but if you liked it enough it might be not be a huge issue for you.
It includes only the major ones. All the costume packs, the level cap upgrades and the mercenary packs are sold separately. Huge dick move from Gearbox
I'm going to be playing it with my brother primarily so I should be good to go. We've played through it on the PS3, but it was horrendous due to the framerate and small screen estate due to local play ofc.
I've edited my previous post.
Yeah it did. Going to assume the 'worst' case then.
My good people I'm not sure if I'm ever going to be able to finish everything Half-Life related... 
If it's not the feel that I'm about to throw up, I start to feel dizzy and I get some signs similar to having a seizure. I do not suffer from epilepsy despite that I had a semi-epilepsy attack that was stopped (as in, they injected me some strong tranquillizer) just in time. I wonder if there's anything I can do to improve this. I played a wide variety of games and this is the only one that this happens... Sorry for the slight off-topic.

Yeah, I googled it in search of the mouth to edit on. I guess you can't really filter anything out when you search for something like that. >_>
Yes it is.
ya that's sure way to enrage your customers.
and reminds me of SR season passes, that I'm still mad about.

Argh motion sickness is the worst.
ok, epilepsy is worse, but still
I had it with Serious Sam 3, and people here suggested to increase the FOV as much as I could, but I never got to try it because I'm too scared to be sick again.
Anyway, motion sickness in Source games is kinda common. At least I have several IRL friends who just can't play Source games for this reason.
u know, my brother has a similar thing with half life, he gets very easily nauseated playing it and could never finish hl2 despite how much i poked and shamed himMy good people I'm not sure if I'm ever going to be able to finish everything Half-Life related...

he beat both portals, played a lot of tf2 and l4d so it's nothing source-related
weird
i want to go on record i did not intend my avatar to be taken to such filthy directions

I'm like your brother, that's why I haven't beaten HL2 yet, it literally makes me sick. I got a little bit nauseous from playing Portal 1, but it's tolerable, other Source games are fine.

zkylon it doesn't matter if they're catgirls or foxgirls, they're all fan-drawn the same. One is more sluttier than the former though.
Having no ears on the side of your head is something I can get, but the way the ears are drawn in most art makes it seem like they have part of their head skin/fur extend up until the ear starts to show.

People say it has something to do with HL2's narrow FOV, but widening didn't help all that much.

I do not suffer from epilepsy because the seizure was stopped in time, I'm very thankful for that. I never checked if there's a FOV option in these games.
I don't have problems with Left 4 Dead 2, and that game have much more lightning/strob effects and bigger contrasts between dark and light, I only have this issue with the Half-Life series.
*Kind bro hug*
I actually finished Half-Life 2 (I've been trying to finish HL2 Ep. 1 now, 2-ish hours in) but it took me so many tries with tiny bursts of time playing. And don't even mention that Boat Level... That was the worst part to deal with.
I wonder what causes this and why this is the only series that I am highly affected.

I'm saving the armor collectibles as an excuse to replay the game down the road. I'm hoping they release some dlc too.

I no-clip'd through the boat level, Ravenholm was a nightmare!

Dark Souls had some good boss battles too... but nothing that was a nightmare for me like 2-2 or 3-2 in Demon's Souls. Never played the Artoias DLC.
I would keep the Vita for remote play alone, even if you weren't a fan of the currently native lineup.
I finally sat down 5 or 6 years ago and played HL2 + Episodes via The Orange Box on x360 (Portal too, after the cake meme hit the mainstream and everyone was all about Still Alive). I thought it felt like just about every other FPS with some really bad vehicle and platforming sections. Ravenholm was kind of neat but nowhere near the hype level people give it and overall the games felt alright or average to me.
If I had to frame it in a positive light, for me playing HL2 + Episodes was better than Halo. That should make the HL2 fans happy, I think.

Are you FOV sensitive? Maybe try fiddling with those settings. Or try playing a bit slower; walk and turn the camera slowly, maybe dial down the difficulty if it becomes too hard because of that. Tried playing with a controller to avoid the "shakyness" (My English grammar is failing me...) of the camera when playing with a mouse?
Just some idea's.
I suffer from Epilepsy myself, so I understand your frustration.
Please, don't take me back to the labs!
Half-Life 2 was finished last year. I checked the "How Long to beat" website and Episode 1 seems short, haven't searched about Episode 2.
You too, Anteater? What is wrong with these games!
well if you haven't done artorias dlc then you haven't seen anything
that dlc is basically a collection of epic bosses
huh? ravenholm hype? everyone hates ravenholm :/I finally sat down and played HL2 + Episodes via The Orange Box on x360.

and u know hl2 today is not that special but back in 2004 some of the level design shit they did was pretty forward thinking what with guiding people through lighting and prop placement and crap
also the universe they came up with is pretty sick
also ego stroking by giving you the ethnically perfect alyx praising everything you do
ep 2 is maybe a bit longer
it also features tons of driving
it's also the best hl2 thing ever
yea i wouldn't call my brother human tho

Talking about discomforts while gaming; I'm enjoying Remember Me, but screw you developers for not giving the option to turn off the shakecam and the idiotic amount of flickering thingy's in certain scenes. :/

Artorias dlc is better than every single boss in Demons.

I don't really need a tag, but I figured I'd get one to make people jealous. Is it working?
Some googling shows that HL2 making people motion sick isn't uncommon. I actually got a feel for that when I started up Serious Sam 3, but upping the FOV there helped.
You can up HL2's FOV to 90, but it doesn't seem to go beyond that. I'd also recommend triple buffering (and downsamping while you're at it) if your GPU can handle it. It'll help with screen tearing.

pretty much, tho the artorias dungeons aren't all that interesting, at least layout and enemy type-wise.

I honestly don't know if I'm FOV sensitive. Half-Life didn't felt right a controller despite playing many other games with one. Difficulty is already on Easy. As a mentioned earlier, I don't suffer from Epilepsy. Sorry that you do.
I'm going to assume you are calling me special and take that as a compliment, thanks!

The Maneaters... :/
The Gargoyles are really easy compared to those shmucks.
I found the Artorias DLC to be the best piece of Souls content available, with the best bosses in the series, so I really reccomend buying and playing that *sometime* in the future.

No worries, my little brother suffers from that as well, but he has no issues on some console games. My current theory is that if the game runs too smoothly he gets it so anything under 30 fps is fine for him.

I'm waiting for steamworks in Dark Souls and then I'll give that a playthrough, unlock whatever achievements I can that aren't related to the DLC, then go 100% the DLC, since I already platinumed Dark Souls on PS3.
Demon's was just so fresh and new. Dark brought some new things and some were good and some were not so good, but it just couldn't recapture the distinct feel that each one of I think worlds 3 and 4 were my favorites. They just oozed atmosphere, though some of the bosses in the other worlds were preferred.
That crap they pulled with the 3-1 boys was just cruel.

Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.
It can be one of two things: either your credit card company is preventing the transaction from completing as it thinks it may be fraud or GMG is blocking the transaction as their own system can be overzealous in detecting fraud.Aww, Greenmangaming is declining my card for some reason
If it's your credit card company, you'll get a phone call asking to verify your purchase. If it's GMG, you'll need to email support.
man if this ever happens i'm gonna be so happy
cool
shit i'm excited about:
- hotline miami 2
- witcha gameplay?
- project beast
- ubi corporate embarrassment
I've used my card many times before without problems. I also called my card company to ask, but they say that nothing is blocked on their end.

Nah, I haven't used remote play at all. I only have a 1-room apartment anyway.
Like the last Witcher, we can only hope for someone to sneak in a camera phone recording.
I hope there's some kind of e3 sale
yeah, it never happened to me with other games, so I just thought maybe the boat ride was "too real"
I remember a lot of reports of people suffering the same issue so it's not uncommon.

agreed. So much flickering. The game is very pretty to look at, but static environments are pretty lame.
oi. That's today? Welp. See you on the other side guys.
I recall reading the same thing but my Google-fu is failing me.
