I've never played COD, and neither have most of my friends. We don't play the BF series either.

I have them on Steam/Origin - but never really got the urge to play them - just seems like CSS/CSGO does a much better job of the basic concept imo.
 
if IW just made Ghosts 2 then we wouldn't have this problem

but nnoooOOOOoooo Bobby Kottick had to tell them 'that dog doesn't sell for shit' and look what he's done
 
How does it compare to Puzzle Quest?

All the RPG elements of Puzzle Quest were bolted on to a standard match-3 game so to me there was this huge disconnect between the window dressing and the actual game. Clash of Heroes has far more integration between theme and mechanics, it's really satisfyingly cohesive.

Also fun fact! The original DS version had pixel art where as the steam port has anime art. Clearly catering to the fact steam is a cesspool of irredeemable weebs.

Activision should have hired Kojima when he left Konami.

He would have made them the perfect COD game to surpass all COD games.

Hey friends I wanna gift a few copies of Dishonored 2 to my buddies, I was thinking getting the game from GMG, the problem is my GMG account is European and 2 of my friens are from the US 1 is from AUS.

I assume there is no way to know if their keys are global until they start releasing them?

They'll be region-free keys. The few region-specific subs the game has are for Eastern Europe and, separately, China.

Well, CoD really was a cultural phenomenon for a generation, so it is a rather big deal.

I approve, of course.

Eh I dunno to me this is what Acti is like towards Infinite Warfare's sales

I never cared for COD, seems like the average person's lazy choice when it comes to gaming with their SO or friends when there are other options they could play alongside it that aren't shooty bangs.
I recognize COD's popularity in the console space due to it's multiplayer though but it was never for me :p

And here I was thinking I am the only one that liked this game.

You're awesome steamgaf, just awesome. 😭7

I've hyped and made giveaways of this game for years :p

It does have its issues though:
The game starts slow, even if you skip cutscenes and until you get both chaining and linking you'll have spent 30 minutes to get there or wherabouts.

The puzzle bosses or challenges can be irritating.

The music gets boring real fast.

Other than that the game is a joy to play when you're match 3ing your way to victory.

It's disappointing because the Infinite Warfare campaign is excellent from what I have played.
Yes it is. I haven't finished it yet, but had a lot of fun playing it. It's one of the best shooters I've played in a long time (haven't played Doom -except for the very beginning- or the newer Wolfenstein titles yet)

That said, I played like 3 MP matches and probably won't touch it again. Haven't tried the zombies mode yet, maybe I'll check it later.

You're gonna want to play those soon and report back on how you feel about them compared to Call of Booty's.
 
I feel like starting a 50+ hour RPG that I already own but can't decide which.. Help me decide SteamGAF?

  • Baldur's Gate EE (For an Evil playthrough)
  • Deus Ex: Human Revolution DC (Never played it)
  • Icewind Dale EE (For an Evil playthrough - not sure if worth it)
  • Planescape: Torment (Because why not)
  • Fallout 3 GOTY (Played 1 & 2, never played a 3D Fallout game yet)
  • Mass Effect 3 (Played 1 & 2, never played 3)
  • Might and Magic: World of Xeen (Never played it)
  • Utima VII Pt 1 & 2 (Never finished it)
  • Wizardry 6 (Never played the series)

Deus EX: HR and Mass Effect 3.

Both are not quite 50hr games tho. More like 30hr so you could do them both in that time.

Well, the best game on this list is Planescape: Torment.

The most refreshingly different from anything on the modern market might be World of Xeen.

You're right, I do want to play them! I own Wolf: TNO, so I could start with that one, and grab Doom next time it goes on sale.

Planescape. Ultima games for me are simply too hard today to figure out by your own, you will spend 400 hours on them.

I can vouch for. Great, great game.
Now that's the Ludens I know and love :)
0 games for me but it still says I'm queued so maybe with time.
Drop whatever you're doing, go to this thread, and watch the video.

You're welcome.
It's a fascinating universe we are living in.

Time to idle cards.

The more you know indeed -- I didn't realize it was originally a DS game!

Based on your comments more than your choices, it would have to be Fallout 3.

There can be a few issues with it on modern systems, so check out - http://pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/Fallout_3

deus ex hr (though weirdly i'd suggest the vanilla version), followed by mass effect 3 (just so you've completed the trilogy)

haven´t played the oldschool rpgs like planescape, icewind, etc. myself so i can't really comment on them.
