wishes it were bannable to say mean things about Marvel
LOL. I don't even think it's on mine...
I swear, the day I'll buy a Rift I'm gonna use this avatar.
BUT, honestly, I really, REALLY, hope it will be for some cool and relaxing experience, like I dunno, Gone Home or something, and not because my friends want to kill me.
Also i'm pretty sure they're too cheapass to actually buy me something.
Yeah, but who knows what could happen to a Rift in all the mahyem with the ambulance and the medics and whatever will happen after my heart attack.

I have no problem with this. Well, most of it. I do think Bayonetta has more flaws than people recognizes and it's easily in the top 10 for "story so bad/confusing/stupid that I just skipped the cutscenes after trying to understand it my first playthrough". That said, it's still a great game and I'm sure the sequel is going to be great.
However, I cannot personally justify the purchase of a WiiU for a single game. It's a shame that a lot of people are in my camp... and a shame that a lot of people who own WiiU systems are probably not the core audience for the game and won't be buying it.

An empty, abandoned mansion is not the right place to look for a "cool and relaxing" experience!
Omfg I'm dying of laughter! Haha.
Also, that Bayonetta 1 Wii U cover was made by me and was commented by Kamiya on Twitter as "not bad" lol. My 5 mins of fame.

I was toying with the eye of getting one then I realised I haven't done any programming since secondary school so it would be just an expensive toy that get's no use what so ever.
Though Mirror's Edge is a tantalizing prospect and after playing The Vanishing of Ethan Carter, Dear Esther and yes Alien Isolation can really see the potential there already. Though outside of that if VR eventually means I don't have to go to the office every weekday to sit through a bunch of tedious production meetings then I'm in.

Nice! Hopfully early 2015 is about the same time Liberation came out (mid January?).
AC: Rogue for PC announced. Coming early 2015. Big surprises to start the week with.

Peanutbuttergamer is pretty cool.
Maybe this inclusion will mean he'll get off his ass and release a new video.

They sometimes accidentally release stuff like Rayman Origins.

I would say after a few patches the games are usually pretty well optimized. Never had any problems running FC3 and Black Flag on maximum settings with my 6870 and i5-3470k.

The issues with their games aren't systemic. They have had some clunkers of ports but for the volume of their overall output they are the exception, not the norm.

It's not so much as their optimization that bothers me, but the companys attitude towards the PC community in general. They've basically called all PC gamers thieves and their horrible DRM of AC2 is what really bothered me about them.

I honestly love that the thread change.
PC + Wii U is a match made in heaven. Please everyone buy a Wii U and get bayonetta 2. The future of video games depend on it.

I was gifted Final Exam this weekend and played a few hours of it with a friend. It's a co-op beat-em-up for up to 4 players. There are four characters to choose from and each has their own unique abilities that can be unlocked using skill points earned from completing levels. Additionally, there are numerous weapons that can be unlocked by finding them hidden in the levels. As for the gameplay, it mostly consists of your usual 2d beat-em-up fare, where you're doing lots of combo moves, shooting guns, throwing grenades, and fighting bosses. Occasionally it switches things up and has you doing other things, like fetch quests, platforming, and at one time the game turned into a Space Invaders clone where you had to shoot bugs coming down from the sky. Also, periodically you will be attacked by swarms of monsters, which can make things quite challenging if it happens to happen while you're in the middle of doing something else.
Initially I was a little turned off by the controls, which felt a little confusing and cumbersome (particularly when carrying and throwing things), but in the end it wasn't so bad once you get used to it. While the game can be played solo, it will probably take a long time to do, as the game feels geared toward co-op play. It's doable, just more challenging. My only gripe is that there isn't very much variation in the enemies. You fight the same monsters over and over again, and it seems like the only thing that really changes up is the level backdrops. I haven't finished the game (which I hear is short), so maybe there will be more variety toward the end.
I recommend this game if you're looking for a fun, somewhat mindless, brawler to play with friends. It's $2.50 (75% off) right now, so you won't break the bank if you get it now.
Are "chief" orcs infinite in Mordor? I think I did one mission and then I killed a lot of those bastards, but they keep spawning
You mean captains? Yeah, no matter how many you kill, new ones will simply take their place. If you get killed by a generic enemy, he will be promoted to captain, but even if you don't, random captains will get appointed. You can thin out their numbers a bit, by wiping out a lot of them, but if you die or pass the time there will always be more captains. While it's not worth your effort to try to wipe out all of the captains, they all drop runes when they die, which can help a lot in combat.
Warchiefs are the highest level of orc, but if you've only done one mission, you probably haven't encountered them yet. Though even if you take out a Warchief, a high level captain will eventually take his place.
Well, yeah.
I'd buy the majority of 'em to be honest. Their lineup are pretty great, despite uplay's habit of eating your saves.

Check out Cry of Fear also. It made me more tense than Amnesia and Outlast put together, and it has actual survival horror mechanics, with combat and a limited inventory. It's a Half Life 1 mod so it's not exaclty a looker, but it's free (and it's on Steam too).

In terms SteamGAF will understand (because, obviously, we all here play 3DS, not PC games), it's like recommending Shin Megami Tensei IV to someone, who asked for games like Fire Emblem: Awakening.
Might & Magic is a open-world dungeon crawler. Definitely not a strategy game.

The hierarchy goes on. Captains can become warchiefs.
I bought Far Cry 3.... for $7.
It was fun enough that I'll buy Far Cry 4... for $7.

Proper PC gamers don't buy Ubisoft PC games.
Of course, Ubi makes good games. SC Blacklist is sublime and runs like a dream. It should have had better sales.

I'm going to laugh when Mordor gets GOTY. It's got a good base for a sequel, but it's lacking in so many areas. The main missions suck. The world sucks. The combat is even easier than Ryse. The Nemesis System carries the game.
I honestly don't know where all the 9's and 10's came from. The game was fun to play for a bit, but now I just want to be done with it. *shrug*

Some useless stats for you, the Nintendo downloads thread since 00.00am GMT has had 89 posts covering various platform while the Steam thread has had Wii mentioned in 50 posts in the same time frame (excluding this one).
It's my guilty pleasure. Plus they are the finest purveyors of the Collectothon Game.

Use the steam://install link to get it. Doesn't add +1 and doesn't show up in your library if you do it this way though (just like other free games). Of course, you don't get any cards either
But you can download/install the game after.- Status
