I will never fully understand why how someone puts so much stock into scores or other arbitrary grading scales when it comes to viewing a product for entertainment value. I read plenty of reviews of course, but I like to actually read and listen to what people had problems with or what stood out as special to them as it gives me so much more to work on.
A simple "this game is a 88/red smiley face/four stars/poutine with cheese and no drink included" or whatever it may be only tells me at a best a rough estimate that will just be argued about rather than the core of the review.
Still, I realise we fully live in a world where the difference between a Metacritic score of 75 and 80 is a huge number of products bought by consumers, where bonuses can be determined by how many 5 out of 5s the workers will get, and more people will only read a small blurb and the number/star/smiley face/gooey cheese rather than a full article/
T'was already taken, but thanks anyroad anonymous.

That's because Max Payne 3 consumes its player within an elongated stream of self-loathing. Like Max, you will know only despair.
Well getting through MP3 is a chore, so I can totally understand that.
Got an opinion on reviews? Join the debate!
Hahaha it's alright I've got plenty to keep me busy this evening. Funnily by me the local councils have been awarding grants to more rural areas to speed up their infrastructure but due to living right by a business centre for the south west were a bit shit out of luck at the moment. The exchange is fibre ready but BT haven't connected the cabinet on the street. ETA is 2015 :/
Sure but I've baggsied Uplay though so hands off!
Uplay's great, you should all go and install it now if you haven't. They have over 700 games now. Some even more worse than Steam's.

Did you BTA of $7.94 for Hammerwatch?

20$ for all the cosmetic DLCs of Crusader Kings 2 and none of the actual game expending DLCs? Such a great deal, thanks Humble! Why don't you make a new digital platform client named Origin Humblin' and push it by making your deals exclusives? Maybe then you'll realize this parody of EA thing.

I actually BTA-ed 4 times so now I have a Hammerwatch 16 pack and no friends.
You can be the Humble shill!

CKII is a good game if you're into the genre and the aGoT mod is the best Gane of Thrones video game you'll ever play.
You can be a shill for ETS2, CSD and cats In general.
Lol one of the posters said Grief was marketing Steam, yet he posted this http://m.neogaf.com/showpost.php?p=111520705

HECK YEAH!
Better start working then!
Eh, yes Uplay is fine, but does it sell audiobooks?
WELL I THINK NOT.
Well it's not a coincidence both are on sale on the most bestest bundle site ever!
Awesome! I have the "Myth II: Worlds" collection (it includes the core game, a ton of mods, and modding tools) - it'll be nice to mess with it without worrying about accidentally wiping my HD. Now I just need more hours in the day...
I bookmarked the Project Magma site too, Knurek - thanks for the link. Some of the stuff I'm seeing there, like the texture pack, looks like it'll be very handy when I get around to playing with this. : )
I just heard that in a Kelsey Grammer-esque pretentious voice when I read it, which goes perfectly with your avatar. Now I'm imagining "Copons the Snobby Cat" as Humble's official mascot. xD

TB really likes Transistor, but mentions the game doesn't necessarily explain its mechanics well, and the IU isn't that intuitive.

That's a valid point. I started playing around with Dark Souls to check something out pre-release of Dark Souls 2 and I wanted to take out the tutorial boss (when you're supposed to run) -- but I couldn't get it to sign into GFWL so I couldn't save for some reason, which meant I had to remake my character and go through part of the tutorial every time I fucked up and died. I quit after my first fuckup. ^_^
Nice. I'm on it!
I love the name... definitely going to check the game out.
I'm literally laughing out loud, dunno what I would do without you Copons. Probably I'll just have to create you.
seriously, dunno what's gotten into me, it's not that funny (><)
it does somewhat help that Shinra (FFX-2) just spit his golden "I'm just a kid" phrase *still laughs*

I didn't know who he was, but now I'm kinda flattered.
Everybody now please call me Sideshow Copons, the Humble shill.
EDIT:
It IS funny. Just, in a very humble way.
I haven't played any of the Agarest games... will I like them if I like Final Fantasy Tactics? Are they in that vein, just really long? Should I wait for 2 to hit or is one of the ones already on Steam the way to go?
You will hate Agarest if you liked FF and Ogre Tactics. That is my opinion.
It really depends on how much you like TRPGs. If you want something like FE or FFT and alike, you probably won't need Agarest, but it's not that bad as metacritics or some people in this thread makes them to be, if you are a fan of genre.
I have difficulty finishing this type of TRPG, especially endless Disgaea games, I still think that they are all worth playing, ya, Agarest too.
be humble
in your disappointment. That's what you are trying to say?

You guys really need to stop getting yourselves all worked up over each Humble daily. If any day is worth getting hyped for it'll be the last day. That day is going to be HUGE
LY disappointing.
Borderlands 1.75 now has a store page. Fun fact: its working title was Cork.

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.
According to GMG on Twitter, they won't be selling the game.
It's exclusive to Humble and Steam for the foreseeable future.
