Having a really hard time deciding what game to play next... Currently deciding between:

Pillars of Eternity
Shadowrun Dragonfall
Valkyria Chronicles

I'm slightly leaning towards Shadowrun just because I'm in the mood for a top down tactical XCOM-y RPG.

Any suggestions would be welcome.

Dragonfall is by far the shortest of the list, so I say go with that. Sometimes, cruising through a game start-to-end reinvigorates my drive.

I'm currently making barely any progress in Witcher 3 and it has shut down my interest in games. Total shutdown is my M.O. when I start to feel overwhelmed, so it's playing off of that response, I think.

There is a big update coming to Pillars of Eternity (that'll drop when they launch the expansion) that revamps the AI, makes solo stealth an option, and a ton of other tweaks and changes. I'd hold off on PoE until that hits (not that it's bad in any way now).

Bad Rats. There is no other choice.
I'd go with Dragonfall if you're in that mood.

So Gat out of Hell is literally 4-5 hours of side missions until you reach the end?

If the story stuff wasn't as interesting as it has been i swear I would find this offensive.

I'm a huge Saints Row fan and that had to be one of the most disappointing titles to me. I got it for $5 at launch during the GameStop mistake and I still felt ripped off.

Surprised to see Hitman: Blood Money with an "Overwhelmingly Positive" score. Didn't know people held it in such high regard. Seems like a good purchase for under $2.

Enter my giveaway before you purchase it tho! Also it's one of the best Hitman games.

Blood Money is the one everyone raves about these days. Newest so it doesn't feel dated while still keeping the complexity of the original more or less intact.

My son has been using Skype for text and voice chat with friends while playing minecraft. Now he is starting with counter strike. Are there better alternatives for voice chat - maybe lower overhead for example? I've seen mumble suggested before but I don't know what makes it a good choice.

Mumble is by far the best in terms of latency, audio quality and overhead.

Not gonna back.

Being serious, I'm in no place to back more stuff right now, I even promised I'd back Shenmue in July when I have money.

But I do believe that last thing might put some people off from backing, if I have to trust what NepNep lovers who hate NISA for how they translated the games wrote on the IFI boards or the Steam boards.

I took that part out for now, IFI twitter just mentioned the team "includes NepNep localization veterans". I don't know how many of them or what their roles were.

Counter-Strike: GO is about 500,000 copies away from selling 15,000,000 copies and Counter-Strike: Source is about 1,200,000 copies away from selling 15,000,000. The whole CS franchise has sold close to 50,000,000 copies on PC. Does anyone know how much CS sold on the original Xbox, Xbox 360, and PS3?

eh, from what I've seen its just people who dont get what "localization" means and want everything to be literal translations with japanese honorifics.

Fuck that . it's very well localized and the english dub is much better than the japanese.

Don't know about totals but I recall that CS on Xbox is still the best selling one for consoles. 2 million I think?

OK ,after nearly 4 weeks , i can honestly say it :

Playing any game on a Intel 4000 for 4 weeks now waiting for a new card is an experience i wouldn't wish on my worst enemy .

Even at the lowest possible settings i can go , to the point where the game looks like blurry puke it still runs like total CRAAAAAAAAAAAPPP!!!

Sorry , needed to vent a bit :p
/ rant


But yeah , it really really sucks . :(

"FRIGHT-end AMERI-can?"

"Dat man IZ a SPY!"

"Watz wrong, run out of bulletz?"

The enemy chatter in Wolfstein '09 is just grating after several hours. The same lines in the same cornball accents over and over and over. Also a major plot point
Caroline Becker getting kidnapped by the Nazi's
happens through two lines of incidental dialogue.

The Hitman games have always been kind of clunky, what made them worth playing was the series unique take on stealth, being a wolf in sheep's clothing, and open ended gameplay. Each level was a sandbox with rules you had to discover to properly navigate. You could be surgical and take out just your targets or carve a bloody swathe through a disco in a meat packing factory with a minigun.

The games got better with each entry from Codname 47 to Silent Assassin to Blood Money. They were all steps forward to improving and refining those concepts. Contracts was the series treading water (still fun though!). I loved Blood Money when it came out but it's dated now and the controls are going to seem super clunky. It's almost 10 years old now.

Lately I've been reading Inoue's Vagabond and it got me very interested in that period of Japan history, and it led me to wonder if there are any videogames that revolve around that, not necessarily around Miyamoto Musashi (I checked and, except some appearance here and there, there are none), but that at least convey the spirit and somehow the philosophy of that time.

Anyone knows anything about that?

I've only played it late at night before i sleep so that explains my playtime and i play like a ton of other games too at the same time. Also i'm pretty rusty with these action games.

I got an SSS combo on plant lady but of course the video is choppy right there. It was so cool too... :(

Way of the Samurai? 4 is a bit off the deep end with the silly stuff but 1-3 is pretty grounded in the time period.
