She's the main character of the Roundabout game. And yes, she's gorgeous, but not enough to sell me on the game.

Weird, Fantomena just said the same thing. The runtime restriction is definitely gone for me, though:

I personally would have preferred if life is strange was more like a TT game. I didn't feel I got much out of the exploring.

Sorry, if you meant "assassins" rather than Suicide Squad (which the game doesn't deal with, it only drops hints at the upcoming game), then your complaint is bullshit.
The cannibalistic hunter Killer Croc. Main Plot.
The veteran mercenary Deathstroke. Main Plot.
The unrivaled marksman Deadshot. Sidequest, captured.
The super soldier Bane. Main Plot.
The unstable pyromaniac Firefly. Main Plot.
The charismatic pit fighter Electrocutioner. Main Plot.
The physically unmatched Lady Shiva. Sidequest, escaped.
And the venomously enigmatic Copperhead. Main Plot.
All but two are in the main plot and unavoidable. The remaining two have specific sidequests dealing with them and are fitting for their characters.

My heart is breaking. I think the soundtrack really sells it though. I do think the twist is terrible, though.

I agree with your first half, but I don't remember the SS being mentioned pertaining to the main plot. It has been some time since I've played though.
oh, well then

I agree that the soundtrack is great, probably best thing in the movie with the robots.

I didn't do the side stuff so i guess I missed out on a few. I'll see how well i remember the game so if i get a couple of these wrong then feel free to correct me.
-the electrocutioner is pretty much a joke in the game, no? seemed like he was there to provide you with an item and that he never really makes a significant appearance in the game.
-Bane is up there with the Joker as a guy they need to stop milking so i was pretty annoyed that he was not only in the game but also a boss fight. but that's subjective and doesn't invalidate your point.
-i'll grant you that firefly, copperhead, and deathstroke are definitely in the game and are highlights as far as the squad goes.
-ending spoiler
the punching the shit out of the joker and the game abruptly ending after that really felt rushed and unsatisfying
also, i kinda have a dislike for Oranges besides the things i mentioned earlier because that Mr Freeze DLC was some hot garbage. It wasn't fun at all and really had some bad encounter designs, including the final bossfight which made me want to set my PC on fire. Then again, it's not like the story DLC for City was all that much better really.
but like i said earlier, i could see an Oranges 2 being something unique and enjoyable. Just don't get the people who think it's better than the first 2 arkham games. No way, peeps, those 2 games are damn near godtier compared to Oranges.
fair enough i suppose but i do feel like i was given the short end of that experience. the game kinda implies you'll be encountering all of these assassins as legit threats so it kinda sucks that some of them are a joke and that others exist outside of the main story. I would've like to have encountered all of these hired guns throughout the game since that's sorta what the game throws out at you in the beginning.
also, i'm not opposed to joke encounters. I thought the Penguin uppercut was a laughably enjoyable end to that confrontation in City, for example. Just seems a bit less earned in Oranges.

How they handled the Electrocutioner is perfectly fitting for the character he is in the comic universe. From the Wiki:
He's a bitch and he goes down like a bitch.

Is he supposed to be a piss-take on Marvel's Electro?

Happy birthday btw.
So many remasters this gen. Having a PC basically means getting "free" remasters all the time.
Backwards compatibility ftw.

They've actually planned for this on the next gen system planning.
No need for backwards compatibility, just remaster games and resell them, double profit.
Yeah, to confirm I activated one of those old Magix gifts plus a War Thunder pack to see if that shit will actually lock down a f2p game (either it doesn't, or DLC is unaffected).
Magix wouldn't install: http://i.imgur.com/hntinYv.png

or you buy the PC versions and just kinda shrug your shoulders all gen.
Good news for JaseC:
Looks like Dirt 3 Complete (non-gfwl version) is separate app:
https://steamdb.info/app/321040/
That's app activated by retail keys for DiRT 3: https://steamdb.info/sub/63249/.
Yet publishers throw some of those cash-grab remasters for PC too.

Yeah, I posted a follow-up on the previous page in response to someone else saying the restriction was still present:
Weird, Fantomena just said the same thing. The runtime restriction is definitely gone for me, though:
I'm not sure why I'm seeing something different to others, especially since the runtime restriction most definitely was there at first, but I'm not complaining.

Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.
And with every new remaster my "there is no such thing as PC port begging" argument grows stronger.

I know I'll cause a fight but that fight ain't that bad, I did it first time
I'm big enough to admit I didn't get it at first, but I accepted that it was my fault and not the game's. Some people are just unable to see beyond themselves.

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.
Contrary to what seems to be popular opinion here on GAF, I'm actually okay with all of these remasters. As someone who missed a large majority of the previous console generation, I can appreciate the value in something like The Last of Us Remastered. I didn't get a chance to play it when it was originally released as I didn't own a PS3 at the time. When I bought my PS4 it was one of the first games I picked up.
I bought Final Fantasy X HD for the PSVita and thought it was great. It added newly updated textures and widescreen support to one of my favorite PS2 games. It also added trophies which I'm a huge fan of. I'm one of those weirdos who is patiently waiting for the PS4 version.
Will I buy the God of War 3 remaster? Nope. But not because I think it's a cash grab or bad for the industry. I'm simply not buying it because I'm not interested in the slightest. I didn't play the first two and probably won't (although if I did, I would play their remastered versions).
A lot of these remastered versions are also including the DLC that was originally released. I think that's important on a deeper level for the preservation of the future of our great hobby. I'm pretty certain that when my grandkids are teenagers (probably about 20 years from now) it will be literally impossible to buy the DLC for the The Last of Us on the PS3, so I'm glad it's included on PS4 disc.
I'm like the anti-PunishedSnake.
EDIT: I guess the important distinction is that none of the games I mentioned are on PC to begin with. I'll admit that changes the argument pretty considerably.

don't worry - at this rate it's still highly possible they'll release RDR on PC before GTA V comes out

Too bad then, as the PC retail games here is as dead as the dodo.
Yeah, I'm with jshackles in this one. Mostly since I don't want to buy tons of DLCs for a single game, unless that's Civilization game.

I'm always amazed at some of the real estate these companies have.
Nice, thanks for the heads-up.

I imagine that Redmond is just miles and miles of tech company wonderland as far as the eye can see, like Disney World or something. With how close I live to there, it's a wonder I've never ventured that far east.
Wow I had lost all hopes of the promised Steamworks version of DiRT3 after Codemasters went semi-belly-up.

The thought of people paying $40 or whatever the price will be for games that on PC hit humble bundle status a year ago kinda makes me cringe.
My main issue with remasters is how much they charge for them.
Like God of War 3. 40 fucking bucks. You can by all 6 games of the saga on PS3 for less than that. Back in the PS3 days remasters always included more than 1 game. Okami even was digital only because sony didn't allow retail versions of remasters with less than 2 games! And the jump from SD to HD was much more significant than the upgrade these remasters get.
I love remasters when they get a good amount of attention or allow a game that was constrained by hardware limitations to really shine.
It's awesome that Shadow of the Colossus isn't stuck in that 12 fps hell anymore.
ICO got a 900% bump in resolution with the remaster.
When bluepoint brought the GoW PSP games to the PS3 they increased the poly count, remastered textures and re-rendered all the cutscenes in 1080p.
Look at how gorgeous Zone of the Enders 2 (post patch) and Okami look on the PS3 now, it's awesome that such timeless classics look fantastic on modern TVs.
This is the kind of stuff I can get behind.
Stuff like Sleeping Dogs or the Arkham games, which are the PC versions running at 1080p should be priced fairly, as it is they're plain rip-offs.

It's just a patch for the level editor.
oh, well good to see them keep supporting it, even though I don't think i've seen much Trine mods/maps.

Pity. It's the better racing sim, but GT is the better game.
