Corrosive is right, but in a sense, in my experience. I got the hang of it quickly and intrinsically. But the true, real "hang of it" is when you have enough skills, enough ways to slot them, enough passives to fill, and enough enemy variety to unleash the whole deal upon.
The window of that finally happening is way too slim. There's the second playthrough, too, but part of the reason why I mentioned that playing up to the 1st boss is the way to get the feel of the narrative truly is that anything past the 1st boss starts to feel like just some more work. The direction of the 1st playthrough's narrative is in place by then, and the whole picture is pretty much presented by the time you replay that section.
That's decent if you're a person inclined to replay a game. I'm not. Still, the game was good enough that even I started back over, and the combat in the second round was much, much more rewarding.
As for achievement cleanup, I'm #teamCorrosive on that one. I went for it, but it killed my desire to keep going. 10 limiters doesn't feel rewardingly difficult. It's more for the #patient which I am #notevenclose.
The game is certainly worth it. I'm in on the Kool-Aid Supergiant is putting out, and I'll be in on the next one.

How to claim Civilization Beyond Earth Soundtrack
1. Open Steam, go your library and right-click on Sid Meier's Civilization: Beyond Earth, then select "Properties"
2. Now select the "Betas" tab in the new window
3. Type in the password "soundtrackplease" into the access code field and click "Check Code"
4. Select the "soundtrack" beta from the pull-down
5. Open up your Beyond Earth directory (default location is [disk drive]:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Sid Meier's Civilization Beyond Earth\) and feel free to copy the .mp3 files to anywhere else on your drive

Go on...
Most (all?) of those are discounted at that level multiple times a month, on one site or another. Kinda regretting I didn't get LEGO Marvel when it was $3.50 on Gamestop a few months ago, though I'm betting it'll get back there in one of the upcoming sales.
There is this one mission where *not plot spoiler more like mechanic spoiler*
Where you can attend a yoga class and your mission is try not to get a D. You have to get those poses right.

And re: Dragon Age Keep FAQ--
Okay. I guess NO is a good preface to that FAQ, in absolutely NO way.
But, I'll forgive the terrible writing, since it's a game that is not reliant on its writing and is being developed and produced by such small, underfunded, struggling independent teams.

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.

COD 4 amazing? I'm hearing some good things from peeps I know about the campaign and the multi but a DocSeuss seal of approval will probably seal the deal.
Top stuff, cheers. Soundtrack is reaaaaaly good.

Thanks for the tip.
I hope Firaxis does this for Brave New World's soundtrack, because it's also locked behind odd file formats.
Dude Call of Duty Modern Warfare campaign is amazing. In fact the the entire series campaign is better than Ghosts and Black Ops series in my opinion.
All Ghillied Up is one of the best missions ever.
You can use VPN to go on Mexican Origin Store to get Inquisition for cheap.
I got the Deluxe Edition for around $40 if I remember correctly.

I hate to interrupt a discussion between medical professionals, but everything i've heard is that it's probably the best COD since BLOPS1, so if that does anything for you then you might wanna look into it.
but let's not be crazy, nothing is going to be better than COD4. you're setting yourself up for disappointment if you expect it to be close to that.

Sorry for OT - where can you find Dragon Age Inquisition for cheap?

I can feel the COD itch coming back, but the Dragon Age itch is a lot stronger, but I think I will pick up AW eventually, it looks really nice.

If I was to subtract the gameplay from Transistor I would still come out with something I really liked. The setting, atmosphere, and music were just all so good for me. Had everything I could ask for besides dinosaurs.

mexican origin. Use a VPN, get it for pesos, enjoy paying up to a third less for your spanish language copy of dragon age.

As in the copy is only in spanish?
Has that been confirmed or am I reading to much into it.

nonon, i'm just teasing. It should be in english, if my titanfall purchase with its wonderful +30 gigs of uncompressed audio is anything to go by
but, knowing spanish myself, the idea of a person playing through a spanish-dub version of a dragon age game is getting a chuckle out of me.

I don't you believe you guys :hmpf The QL made it look like any other CoD. Zzzzz.
He didn't ask if Cod 4 is amazing, but if AW is amazing as CoD 4

Could've just kept the one Nabs gave you.
you mean nbnt
No it's in English. I bought it. on the site it said English, Spanish and a bunch of other languages.
Well I won't find out for another 15 hours. But I doubt it. CoD 4 is amazing.He didn't ask if Cod 4 is amazing, but if AW is amazing as CoD 4
everyone would, especially since it was, you know, a gift
Haha, how would that even happen? Could you share a screenshot of that?
soundtracks in the game files...one of my favorite things
F:NV has them there, and now i'm listening to Why Don't You Do Right, which most of you may know better as the song that Jessica Rabbit sang in her first scene in Who framed Roger Rabbit
For sure. I really liked the added emphasis on store with BLOPS 1 and some of the campaign choices BLOPS 2 had to offer as well as future tech but I've never replayed them. Where as Modern Warfare's campaign I've played 4 times through. Even after a day and a half straight of getting that bastard Mile High Club achievement didn't stop my playing it again. If AW can get somewhat close to 4 I might cave in earlier than expected, especially seeing as with the VIP offer on GMG allows to use credit which I've been hoarding.
Oh and for the record the reason I hold Seuss' opinion highly is because of this.

Oh man, I'm not even talking about that. Haha. I wouldn't have gifted it to shadownet because I actually play those types of games.

You know I've never played a single Call of Duty game, not even one of them. Maybe during the next sale I'll pick up one of the older ones cheap and try it out.

Same here, though good luck finding them on sale on PC - I don't think any of them have ever been discounted more than 50% off, including the original Call of Duty from 2003.
I got BLOPS II for the Wii U for $7 (new, from Best Buy) but I still haven't played it.

in what region does Binding of Isaac unlock earliest?
Nothing to report yet, I would guess it will launch simultaneously worldwide. Apparently streamers are getting an early shot at 7 AM PST tomorrow.
I played 4 recently and it doesn't hold up very well, I'm hoping to pick up 2 cheaply and try running through that one again.

Wow, incredible... I never even considered checking.
Now I can listen to Shaka's theme whenever I want. Awesome.
Thanks for the heads up!

Could someone repost or pm me that list of recommended Skyrim mods that was posted a few days ago?
I thought I'd bookmarked it but apparently I did not.
Edit: Nevermind, found it.

going past the obvious "Youre playing Ghosts, thats the problem" joke, what the fuck is up with this stuttering on Ghosts? intro kept freezing for a second every few seconds, and now the game is doing it too
its running perfectly, except that. is that a known issue and is there a known fix?

every once in a while the older games go on sale for $5, but never on steam. It's usually on some mac site or something like that.
I'd recommend COD4 for your first experience, but so many games since COD4 have taken inspiration from it that if you went back now it wouldn't have the same ooophm that it had back at launch. It would be like recommending HL2 to someone who has played fpses for the last 5-6 years, they aren't going to notice the revolutionary things in HL2 since so many games after it iterated on the things that HL2 did.
MW2 is the beginning of the COD campaigns becoming insane explosive rollercoasters but it's still good, BLOPS1 might actually be the best campaign that isn't COD4, MW3 is just a bunch of turret sequences and kinda terrible, BLOPS2 is fine and somewhat interesting. Didn't play ghosts, but it has a dog or something.
BLOPS2 is actually not a bad entry point for someone trying to get into the MP for the first time, but really, the best way is pick up a copy of the lastest game day one and play the MP immediately. Much like a fighting game, the earlier you learn the in and outs of the game's mechanics, the sooner you can be decent online. Waiting a couple of months to get into the MP means that you've allowed the community to get ahead of you, making being decent only a much tougher task.
