Haha, you might be right about my dislike of the defaults colouring perception. Let me ask you, do you think they look up to par with the others? I have a hard time believing anyone would prefer the default T knife to anything else, it just looks so intentionally unappealing to make the desire for the alternatives stronger. Even comparing to CS 1.6 and CS:S, the default knives of GO just have a sort of underdeveloped look to them.

They changed it for a reason, but I guess what brings me back to my suspicions is that they're fine with changing it back so long as you're willing to spend the money. I guess they're a special case, but it seems you should at least be willing to freely switch between vanilla knife variants. This isn't a F2P game afterall, even if they implemented their same F2P hooks.

The CT knife looks professional, the T knife looks rough, which I think is the look/personality Valve was going for. I like both knives, but my preference is with the CT knife, which as I noted earlier, I'd love to see some skins on.

If they made the flip and bayonet alternate vanilla knives, I think there'd be questions like 1) why are these two knives alternate vanilla knives, and not the other three (four now), and 2) why are these new alternate vanilla knives cosmetic, with no gameplay alterations, like the M4A1, USP, and CZ75?

Perhaps we should continue this discussion in the CS:GO thread?

 

[corrosivefrost]

I'm interested. It looks like fun.

Spoiler

It helps also that the game is just 20 dollars on the Origin mexican store.

Link to his Steam profile pls.



I'd rather have new Special Delivery maps. Doomsday is awesome, but it's the only thing we've got in that gamemode for two years. :/

I never ever looked at PvZ and said "I need this franchise to branch out and give me whatever the hell genre Garden Warfare is..."

I'll PM you the link to his profile... not sure if he wants it posted or not.

 

[Adnor]

Which suit is that?

The one you can buy after beating Grim missions.

 

[Dio Brando]

TF2 X Jojo's Bizarre Adventure collaboration. How many breads have you eaten in your life?

Now that would be an excellent colab. would even start playing TF2 again if that happened.

 

[Bluth54]

MORE HATS

Spoiler

For the love of dog, please be a bunch of new weapons.

Yes it's going to have new weapons, in the last blog post they talked about weapons that the TF2 play tested and didn't work, and then the last weapon they talk about it turns out it did work out when they play tested (a parachute for the solider). So at the very least I'm sure we'll be getting that, though I imagine we'll get quite a few more weapons then that.

... care to bet with real money?

Valve has always been very careful about not launching a major TF2 update during the Steam summer sale in the past:


TF2 Summer event/patch 2013 - July 10 Summer Sale begins July 11

Pyromania 2012 June 27 Summer Sale begins July 12

Uber Update 2011 June 23 Summer Sale begins June 30

Engineer Update 2010 July 8 Summer Sale ends July 4

I want to participate in this out of sheer curiosity, but I'd feel like a jerk if I took a key for a game I already have. :/

Sorry, I just swapped out ModBot's edit code and needed to test it out. They weren't real keys, sorry!

And? What was it? I suppose it was a test of some kind, going by the first key having been taken by Stupokapow.

EDIT: Oh, I see. Alright.

No worries.

Getting Terraria for free by crafting coal in the Winter 2011 sale was the best thing ever

until getting Dishonored GOTY at 3 dollars in a price mistake in last year's Autumn sale took its place.

After reading the Digital Foundry article, it becomes extremely obvious that GTAV was planned for PC/current-gen from the start.

http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/digitalfoundry-2014-grand-theft-auto-5-trailer-ps4-tech-analysis

This looks like a pretty substantial upgrade from last generation.
Increased fooliage density, added geometry, sharper textures, increased draw disctance, and the lighting and shadows are improved. Even goes into little things like more detailed cockpits.
The level of detail in this game is truly insane. Can't wait to finally jump into this game.

Got this loaded from the discounted pre-order from their site, but it's weird they're not offering pre-orders on Steam yet.

$13 but this is just a pre-order still pretty much unless you want to play the game in Japanese.

It doesn't have a length estimate on VNDB so not too sure at the moment but if I see something I'll post about it.

Thanks. Just wondering if I should bite now for that price, since maybe the price might go up.

Is there anyone really that excited for such a game? I thought the prior Games were okay. Kinda fun, but nothing groundbreaking.

Wondering how this series could even get 3 games plus two spinoff Games.

Thanks for the heads up!

Sniper Elite 3 is also part of the current AMD Never Settle Forever bundle. Average price for a gold key (Choose 3 games) is around ~US$28. So if you want to pick up some other games, that might be a good alternative.

I go through phases where I buy a bunch of games with keys, and then move on from it. If you keep an eye out, you can run off like a bandit. Having been looking at the trade offers lately, it's starting to sneak up on me again.

 

[MarcoZombieCannon]

Basically, I use it for anything that I don't use KB/M for.

Edit: Well, that and any game where the performance hit from BPM is big enough to notice I use the regular overlay.

Never played the original. But SE2 was fairly fun outside of shitty stealth and closed level design. The shooting itself was superb. I'm hoping the third is an improvement.
