i never saw it for 19.99
You know, the karma system in New Vegas has some real issues. (Fallout 3's guilty of this, too, but for RP-type stuff I'm inclined to hold Obsidian to a higher standard.)
So stealing's bad. I'm totally cool with that. But when you kill some thugs who were trying to murder you, it's considered bad karma to take stuff from their encampment? Even though you can loot their bodies without penalty? It's irritating that I have to either suffer a karma hit for taking the stuff that's there, or leave good gear behind.
I'm sure there's a mod out there to fix it, and I'll probably go looking for one at some point (out of irritation if nothing else). I just feel like I shouldn't have to - I'm surprised nobody shot this down in the design phase.

Yeah Karma's a bitch in Fallout, 100% there are mods that fix this.
You never saw it because, perhaps, you were you playing Marvel Heroes? *runs*

If it's only a few things, you can make up the karma back later.
Jasec,
If you ever get tired of your profile picture I got the perfect alternative.
What Does God Think About Sex? Episode About Spiritual Sex - Teal Swan
I have no idea what she is or what she says but she is mesmorizing. I can probably sleep to that.

Karma barely does anything in New Vegas, but you're right. Instead of neutering it they should have removed it.
I'm a bit vague on it, but I think you can grapple to another building if you move to one of the sides of the roof. Similar to the Slurm boss fight.
I wish they would fix the karma system so that it actually mattered in Fallouts. It's just too broad of an idea in a game they take too much time working on other things in the game so of course falls to the wayside and ends up bland.
At least Fallout Tactics had it affect membership in the Brotherhood.
Worked spot on. Thanks for Blue Toad Murder Files.

duplicated lol, thanks anyway
I've noticed a lot of people are having trouble getting rid of Beatbuddy. I assume it is because of the colon character ":". The modbot instructions say:

Oh interesting, let me try making a new one.
Answered already, but for the new page, it's nay.
The game is pretty easy even with its terrible map, short, and the combat is really bad. I must say that I enjoyed the boss fights but I'm on the minority on that.
Even though I'll concede that buying a game to play in someone else's console requires some high level fanaticism, the games do have enough changes to saying such hyperbole to not be fair and is doing the game a great disservice as saying "GTAV is yet another GTA". So I guess we'll agree to disagree then.Yeah, I know it's unlikely about Bayonetta 2. But I'm holding out hope since some of the companies would probably like a bigger demographic than Wii U owners who want good action games.
As far as Mario Kart goes, other than the ones I haven't played, they all feel like Mario Kart to me. It's new and shiny with new tracks and such, but they've never really strayed far from their formula as far as I'm concerned.
To answer your other questions, take the Batman games for example:
Would you say the Arkham games are the same?
Arkham City and Origins are very similar. There's some differences, but a lot of origins is definitely pulled from City and it shows. I still like Origins better than City overall, but I wouldn't say there's a ton of difference between the two. Asylum to City there's a big change in structure though.
Now I'm not saying every sequel has to be new and innovative and change the formula up. I like games that do what Mario Kart 8 probably does. My point in saying that was partial hyperbole, but the core of my point remains -- Mario Kart 8 seems like another Mario Kart game. You know what you're getting, mostly, before you buy it. And as such, someone without a Wii U of his own would have to be a ridiculous Mario Kart fanatic to go out and buy it just to play it on a friend's system (however frequently).
As far as the new Zelda, it still follows the same formula as LttP -- there's the village area (with dungeon) and the lost woods (with dungeon) and death mountain (with dungeon), etc. However, being able to rent all the items from the start and tackle the dungeons in any order? That's noteworthy, even if some of the dungeons were a bit easy or short (which works better for handheld play at times).
It was just hope I guess
I'm also on a laptop and mobile's best are not that much better than the 7870 D:
I feel sorry for ya bro
At this point AmazonGlobal is the better alternative for that kind of stuff.
I hated that part of the mission, too much orange/bright red made my eyes hurt
I cannot get enough of this game's art direction. Though I do feel like it's going a bit longer than it should.
Non the less a fun ride so far. Let's see if I can be bothered to finish it before the playfire rewards expire lol.
Also if I diverted on the path and an enemy appeared on another one the camera went crazy stupid which was even more annoying (made me fall countless times).
Nah, fixed it for you.
Looking good, but I'll just keep the 360 pad and add a DualShake4 after I get a PS4.new PC dongle release better come with white versions of those bone controllers
need it
Good to know they are seriously after the PC market with that matching Alienware look.new SF4 Ultra stick works with PC
hawt
Actually that number counts all entries rather than only the valid ones, so maybe not that many megagivers
And that isn't even an official price, the DS4 is more expensive even I think but everything PS4 has some insane official pricing anyway
you know you dun goofed when ML has the things at a saner price

Syberia II impressions:
Having won this game from a gaffer here, who asked me to thank him in a PM and not in the thread, so thanks whoever you are) here's how it went down.
First impressions - right at the main menu was a button called "Syberia Recap" which basically outlined the story of the previous game in a cutscene. Perfect for someone who hadn't played the original. The story itself is charming, well thought out, and does contain lots of obvious foreshadowing so I can't really say it was "predictable" so much as a predestined journey that you get to enjoy along with the writers.
Some of the puzzles were really terrific and required you to think, giving you a sense of real accomplishment when you get it. Others were trial-and-error style. "Here's a complicated mechanism. No clues. Just fiddle around with it until you get it right." Still others were based around dialogue trees: if you need a hand with step 7 of a puzzle, you may have to talk to a character and have them talk about steps 3 through 6 first before they reveal they had the mcguffin all along, and you can have it for free!
The graphics themselves look good, but in a lot of cases it's not made obvious that something can be interacted with, and it certainly doesn't help that the interaction icons look so similar. (Oh, you added a little stick to the circle that I've been seeing all along.) Yes, I get that your levers are made of the same material as the rest of the structure but geez, could you not have made them blend in so well I needed a guide to find them? If you get this game, put on your pixel-huntin' goggles.
No complaints about the sound and music. Everything fit nicely. Voice acting was mostly good, although characters can't seem sure as to whether to pronounce the name Hans as "Honce" or "Hands." That, and for some reason every character needs to refer to you by your full name every other sentence. That can get annoying, Kate Walker.
Overall, despite my above misgivings, this game is a treat for point-and-click adventure fans and I had a ball. I recommend it.

Strange. I took it yesterday and when redeeming it it said I already have the game.
Would it still "activate" and then act as a duplicate?

Thanks for OFDP, much appreciated. It has been sitting in my wishlist for a while, so now I'll have a chance to play it
Woo! Thanks for 99 Spirits!
Steam can sometimes give the duplicate issue when the servers are stressed. It'll redeem the key, add the game to your account, but because the servers are so stressed pass along the duplicate game error.
Thanks for Velvet!
Witcher 3 looks so sick. I'm kind of happy it's not coming out this year though. I think the latter half of this year is gonna be packed as usual and maybe more with E3 coming up.

Really? Since when?
I remembered doing it last year too, but the key could still be activated by a friend of mine, even though I already had the Game.
Really should load this up on steam and get to playing.
