What did he do?
Don't wanna read through dozens of PoliGAF threads to find out.
He was being too heated in the post election threads
I saw a few posts f his and he was being too vigorous in them such that i suspected he would get banned if he wasnt too careful :x

You mean that fetch quest ridden game with a mediocre story and horrible pacing?

no, the rpg with a ton of content, fun gameplay, good story and great visuals. And cool characters. Guess we are thinking of different games.

I think he is blocking da inq and 2 from his concious :p

no sir. Well 2 maybe, but I still liked it despite its flaws. Oh which there were plenty, one would say too many. But all its problems were because of what it was, not because of what it wasnt. I never judge games because of what they are not, or what they could have been.

I actually enjoyed a second playthrough I did recently, probably because I knew what I was gonna get this time around.

Stealth + Archery is OP in Skyrim. I aniquilated a bandit camp from far away killing each bandit with one arrow and I shot arrows to draugrs right in from of them without them noticing me.

Every post online I've read about Crysis' aliens sections was negative (bar one person who I talked with) but I didn't mind it. Visually and gameplay-wise it's a change. During the Core level you can pretty much complete the whole thing without shooting them since they mostly just keep to themselves which leaves you to just chill and take screenshots, which some mightn't like but it provided a rest from the non-stop action of the previous levels.

Only the escort mission and the final battle were boring and annoying imo.

Same for me. I took a dive under water to go to a grotto a bit further and could not see anything, even after getting to my foot in the grotto. I lit a torch and it was slightly better.
 
Short of finishing the campaign it feels. The world of Batman never interested me that much but I have to say that Asylum and City changed that a lot. I almost want to read the comics. This and and the Flash TV show really did a good job at making the DC universe very interesting to an outsider like me.

Arkham City & The Flash are truly excellent representations of the DC universe.

I knew the ot forum would be the end of you

Bernardo was one of the guys keeping me sane in OT, so I hope his ban is a quick one.

What's the REAL Eternal Maze? I've gotten to the place with the music of Eternal Maze.

I was wondering also, does the chance of getting keys from cutting down bushes go down the higher level you get? At the begining I got a bunch of keys very quckly from that but now it feels like it takes alot longer.

I def recommend just buying keys. If you're into grinding, just level up every sword you get. Each sword comes with a skill, and you unlock it permanently when you hit 100% prof.

Saw the impression thread, yeah, don't think Bioware would ever recover.

Shit, ME Andromeda is apparently DA:Ilike?

Definitely waiting for post launch impressions now, not taking a day 1 risk on that :/

The faster you guys admit you're not in Bioware's demographic anymore, the easier this will be.

Emotions are still too raw to go wading into OT, give it a couple weeks to come down.

We've vindicated the worst of our society with this.

Brahs just go re-watch Farscape

I started watching Gamespot's ExtraLife stream (the first part- archives from yesterday), and the game takes up only like 1/4th to 1/2 of the screen. There's a lot of information pertaining to the schedule and monetary goal they could've just placed in the video description and/or overlayed on top of the gameplay itself.
 
Finally got access to my humble account again. Here are a few extras.

can't wait to see Microsoft Store black Friday ad. I'm hoping to find something related to PC on sale.

I'm also looking for a fairly cheap terabyte SSD but if I can't find one I'll just wait until they get to a price I can bite at.

Niche is more successful than I would have expected. I was checking the game because Philomena Schwab, one of the devs, will be talking at IndieCade Europe next week.

It appears the game has a decent number of people playing, at least for an indie game, quite niche, priced at 19 € in Early Access for 2 months. Reviews are even Very Positive. Maybe an indie game that I overlooked.

Personally, if I was going budget but supposedly reliable- Crucial MX300. I've been using a 200 for close to five years as my main, no issues. Not hugely fast, but still better than an HDD.

And if I was going for "this shit will last me another five years and can wait for a discount" - Samsung 850 Evo. When the 1TB hits $260 or less again, I'm down.

Get your credit card ready, the Samsung 850 Evo will be $250 and come with Watch Dogs 2 on Black Friday:

I doubt the deals will get better than that.

Legion obliterated any chance of me completing the 52 games challenge. I was doing well too at around 30 games in the first 6 months.

to be honest is should count for 10 games for the amount of time I spend in it (and Marvel another 10) >_>

Oh well.

Too emotional posts in OT, ticking timebomb.
I don't post there only read, but people need to calm down.


Is there some bug in Discord, my friends computer keeps booting to Safe Mode during Overwatch when we use it, doesn't happen to me and we have identical builds and Windows 10s.

Trying to use the ds4 with steam, but controls are off.
On Revelations, pushing the right stick left makes the camera go up.

And Evil within doesn't even recognize it.

Inquistion was none of that well in more specifics.

Ton of content, but not very much was worth doing. Though you were forced to do it so you could complete the story. The story was worse off than DA2 and only had a few scenes worth a damn.

DA2 is a 3/5 game.

I should probably play Inquisition at some point, preordered but never played it. Even took the time to simulate my save before it came out, I wonder if that thing still works.

lol god damnit I was like 10 minutes away from completing a non-lethal run through the first real mission in Dishonored 2. Then I layed down an Overseer on some steps; he slowly rolled down the stairs into a large pile of boxes that all toppled over and killed him. Oh well, fuck Overseers anyway.

This game is so good.

It's a shame about the performance though, hopefully it will get addressed soon.

If you thought DA2 was mediocre, chances are DAI will feel pretty good at first, complete crap after 40 hours and even worse after 80 hours.

So.. good luck!

I'm actually not having the performance issues that some are. Just lucky I guess? I dunno. I'm at 60fps almost all the time on a 970 with High settings after I turned off volumetric lighting and bloom and kicked down the AA a bit. Maybe not the most optimized game ever I guess, so yeah hopefully that gets fixed soon.

First Bethesda leaves me dry pretending to be Minecraft, now Bioware is envious of Ubi's shite open world designs.
Guess I'll just stick with CDPR and Deus Ex

You should join the dark side.
