So instead of spending my night playing Rebirth and cuddling, my girlfriend dragged me to go out with her coworkers. After eating some great pizza, we went to a local lesbian bar and that shit was pretty cool. I was just sitting back sipping my delicious beer taking in the culture.

man call of juarez looks gorgeous

 

[MRORANGE]

Yeah, I'm gonna contact Bish/Stump on the matter, the decision on helping relevant information/news stay on the top of the page is not helpful when other threads are still able to reside in Gaming that are community focused than this thread.

Thanks for the PM's guys.

 

[PepsimanVsJoe]

Fixed for accuracy.

You missed the joke.

I'd recommend ignoring LotF for the time being, unless you're hurting for a "Souls-like", as a "Season Pass Edition" popped up in the registry months ago. Contrary to what the devs said, DLC is a thing, has been planned, and there'll be a relatively significant amount of it.

 

[Anteater]

i keep running straight into those fucking spike strips in need for speed hot pursuit like an idiot, but the game is a lot of fun, some maps are just really long and i keep fucking up towards the end

oh yeah, shit just got real

Yeah, real glad I noticed that after the first DLC got announced, waiting for a complete edition now.

 

[Nabs]

Yup. They'll hopefully iron out all the technical issues by the time it hits 15.

New page (50ppp)!:

Go get Lethal League for 50% off!!

Reviews are down/gone again.

just thought it was a bizarre reason to tell someone to hold off on it. What game DOESNT have a season pass these days

People should hold off on it because its a bit of a technical mess (or was when I played / finished it)

 

[Armoured Priest]

As the old agage goes: "Do as I say, not as I do".

heh, heh.

 

[rtcn63]

I like to think that every AssCreed after the first one was effectively DLC, at least until Black Flag, where round two begins.

There's a distinction to make between "Don't buy it yet because I assume there'll be DLC" and "Don't buy it yet because there's incontrovertible proof that there'll be DLC".

 

[Knurek]

So is this a parody of all those pointless flash story games appearing on Steam?

It's a legit story experience, I'd compare it most to Ever17 - weak character routes, amazing true route.

 

[Mr. Luchador]

I got that feeling from Brotherhood & Revelations. I mean it all made sense eventually, but as individual games the story felt weak and a bit pointless. I guess they made AC2 too big or something and had to cut it down.

again, when did DLC become a reason to not buy games? what am i missing?

 

[Zafir]

Nah. AC2 was pretty different from the first. I agree in terms of Brotherhood/Revelations/3 though. AC2 and AC4 are the best two imo, the others were kind of meh.

 

[JaseC]

I enjoyed Ezio's growth throughout the so-called "Ezio trilogy", but the series as whole definitely jumped the shark after Brotherhood.

Somebody quote this so he'll see it.

 

[madjoki]

Since DLC started costing more than base game unless you wait for GOTY edition, which is cheaper than DLC alone?

 

[Sgt.Pepper]

Playfire rewards have been pretty crappy as of late. I got more credit from LEGO Marvel than getting COD: Advanced Warfare right now lol. Everything is .10 cents.

 

[Rhaknar]

ah, if the idea is to wait for a GOTY thats fair enough

 

[Mr. Luchador]

ah, if the idea is to wait for a GOTY thats fair enough

Pretty much standard practice for any 2K Game now. Sure you have to wait 6-12 months later, but you get the entire game for half the original release price.

 

[JaseC]

Context?

Edit: What's the point of explaining myself if you're going to ignore me?

 

[Dr Dogg]

Just checking out what I might have drunkenly preordered on Amazon and man am I tied if I should grab Lara Croft: Temple of Osiris on Steam or pay a little extra and get the collectors goodies. Then I see this.

Gah! Don't make me choose like this. Do I go with Steam and get Agent 47 Lara or Amazon and get Jensen Lara?

Also been checking out some info about AC Rogue. No tailing missions, decent length story and side content coming out of it's ears. That's going to be a nice start to 2015.

In other AssCreed and Amazon related news my copy of Absetgo Industries: Employee Handbook just shipped. Yes I did make a drunken preorder it seems.

 

[ramoisdead]

I have chosen :

Please be good .

You've chosen well, my son.

does Amazon still carry steam versions of (new) Ubi games or is that over?

So tired of retail exclusive content

Can you link the abstergo handbook?

 

[Dr Dogg]

I think that might have just been a test as I can only recall Black Flag getting a Steam key. And boy did I refresh that page on Watch_Dogs hoping it would come up.

I'm guessing they'll be purchasable separately at some point or part of the Season Pass. Yeah it's one of those deals too, urgh.

Sure

It's over. I think Tony (Previous Amazon games rep.) said they would be removing currently available too, but it never happened.

Ooh looks nice, might be time to build up Christmas Wishlist for the family to look at. Thanks!

This has been happening on and off for the last week or so. No idea what they're doing, but bad timing considering the current anger over GTA SA.

I won't get into that publicly.

It's a bit more along the lines of in-universe context so might be a bit nerdy for some. But I've got copies of the Encyclopedia and various artbooks so it was something to add to the collection. I'll pop a few pics up online when it turns up and shoot them over to you.

 

[Jawmuncher]

Still so glad DLC had no bearing on my purchases. I can count on my hands the amount of games that have brought me back with DLC. 9 out of 10 times it's beyond worthless and just feels lazy if you ask me.

No that's fine, I like the lore they've built up so it'd be nice to see some of the 'behind the scenes' stuff like that. Thanks for the pictures too - what's the Encyclopedia like? Does it go back generations?

I won't get into that publicly.

But you just did. So transparent.

I've bought DLC for like 3 games in the last 9 years. I agree it's almost always bad and it usually comes out long after I've already dropped the game.

is it because youre australian? cant blame him if so :/

edit: ooh Crypt of the Necrodancer has achievements (and new items) cool

[LurkerPrime]

97 minutes into Batman Arkham Origins and I got my first CTD while opening a vault with the batclaw. As this is the first-ever Batman Arkham CTD I've experienced, I'm going to go ahead and say BELIEVE THE NEGATIVITY around the game.

Additionally, the devs' incessant desire to shove positive reinforcement in your face is also rather offputting. (XP! Trophy unlocked! XP! Challenge completed! Quest Updated! Press F to Respect the Law!) Although a hoard of things to do is a Batman Arkham staple, Origins has, thus far, taken it to an extreme.

Allcaps warning:

Spoiler

KEVIN CONROY I MISS YOU. THIS GRUFF ANNOUNCER GUY IS NOT A SUITABLE REPLACEMENT...

 

[Casimir]

I won't get into that publicly.

I see.

 

[Shadownet]

Not really. Seen it in motion, Kevin Spacey still looks like wax on top of Advanced Warfare already looking outdated like every Call of Duty preceding it.

do you have the game?

 

[ashecitism]

It's like Transistor is doing a too good job of encouraging me to experiment. I'm 4 hours in, and still not set on most abilities and their combinations, haha.
