I've been watching videos of The Evil Within this morning and it's got me kind of disappointed, the art is great but everything graphically just looks stale and messy, the combat seems okay but the FOV and black bars seem to make it more of a hassle than it should be, and I hope for a PC mod that allows the FOV and black bars to be changed or turned off, because I don't want to play it in it's current form.

Is there a Razzies version of videogames? That'd be my pick.

Ubisoft games tend to be serviceable, if you're a big graphics person and like what each series er... brings to table. I.e. the ship battles or collectathon-ing of AC games. (I personally dislike both) I thought WD wasn't bad at all from what little I played, but yeah definitely not the "best" or most "original" of anything. Maybe.
But the mighty Pheasant flies in the face of adversity, bravely walking out in front of speeding cars down country lanes. Doesn't always end too well mind but you have to admire their gusto.
Take away the early performance issues and as long as you're in the mindset it's more Splinter Cell than AssCrud then it's one of my favorite games of the year. I also like Marmite which is despised by some people so read into that what you will.
The real Golden Joysticks where the ones given away as prizes on GamesMaster.

Yeah. The Golden Joysticks.
I remember voting, but with a different email than the one I used for GMG/Playfire, should I get the key too?

From what I played of EW I really like it.
The graphics I think are really good. Way better than I thought they would be. My only issue is the black bar but even that is pretty minimal.
Going to try 60fps and getting rid of the borders.

... what?
Did you play another game with the same name or something? The one I saw my friend play was a really shitty ubergeneric GTA clone with hilariously bad systems and boring "hacking" (read: even lamer "find the hidden object" than the shittiest hidden object game) minigames. There was nothing Splinter Cell about it, like, at all.
Guess I can try that, but I've never had or built a desktop, so where do I start? Should I looking for a cheap case/motherboard combo and then buy the graphics card/ram separately?

Is it just me or are coupons not working at the moment?
Tried to buy something I have a coupon for and it just won't apply. Also tested it with some other games/coupons, doesn't work...

I listed a non-waifu foil about a week ago for $9.98 ($8.69) and of course it struggled to sell, but I noticed just before that a particularly impatient user put up a $3 buy offer, so I managed to make $2.61. I'll call that a win given the regular cards recently plummeted to ~15c.

Yes there was, you could off most enemies without shooting via enviromental hazards and sneak your way to objectives (not always), distract them, kill them silently. Or let hell break loose. Also the normal hacking wasn't a hidden objects minigame, you had to divert the flow of data (?). Either your buddy wasn't that far into the game, didn't know what he was doing or didn't care for the silent approach.
Evil? See the performance thread, I think 2 GB are no problem.
What's the title supposed to mean?
I have a Wii U, but, Wasteland 2 comes first
It means the Wii U and Bayo 2 need all the help they can get.
Lucky you. =p
Nobody, nobody is building a samaritan paradox foil badge, so the prices have waterfalled down to regular card prices...
you still lucky beyond belief, I can't sell any foils and not even close to your price too.
btw, is it true that all new games on steam are now region locked by default?
Sounds good to me. I'll gladly take $2.50 for a foil. No one's paying these ridiculous 35 prices anyway.
Yep.
so basically Valve is Nintendo now and if I was true to my convictions, I should leave steam right now and never look back (><)
edited: I've seen that coming, but then again I always expect the worst and it always delivers

Well, I gave myself a push and finished it. Turns out I was pretty close to the end. Can't say I really enjoyed the gameplay in either DLC Episode but the ending to Ep 2 was a pretty cool way to wrap up the saga.

I don't know what you watched, but Dr. Dogg's impressions and gameplay experience very much align with my own. In fact other than the convoy missions, I probably did significantly more stealth kills/takedowns than I did actual shootouts.
Yep.
Does this mean that unless developers specifically allow it we won't be getting cheap Russian games anymore? Would be a big hit to the trading scene if so.

I've only played the first two chapters in TEW but I have to say, I'm loving it. If those are really the worst of the chapters, game's gonna be a fun ride.
Almost every story mission you could do the silent approach. The CTOS hubs you had to activate in each zone you could do without setting foot inside the area. It's by no means a fully fledged stealth title but it's a far cry (heh) from Assassin's Creed in how you approach things. Fail states are close to non existent compared to AC where if you're not inside a certain distance to eavesdrop or get spotted and so on. You could go in all guns blazing, and judging from my time in the OT that's what a lot did but there's enough wiggle room to make a couple of different approaches.

This thread is all you need, buying all the parts yourself is the cheapest way. Get a M-ATX motherboard, and pick a case M-ATX case in the OP if you don't know what to get.

I like the new JaseC avy.
Speaking of avy's, this marketing video of Susie Wolff was posted today.

uh, I restartet Steam and now the coupon I tried to use is gone... it seems he expired more or less exactly at the moment I tried to use it
I haven't even noticed I had that coupon until a few minutes ago
That's a bingo.
Well, at least in the case of Steam publishers have the option of removing it.
why would they do that? I mean that's ridiculous notion even to consider!

Don't bother with the Drake Sword, it's a noob trap. Plenty of early weapons available to you that can be stronger than it once upgraded to some extent, without the hassle of having to find rare as fuck ores.
I like to think that she approves of my posts.
Virtually all of the Disney subs are region-free despite being less than two weeks old, so not all hope is lost.

I was wondering what she had to do with UBS. Turns out she lives in Switzerland, about an hour from my place.

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.
So last night I installed all of the games I'll be playing during this year's Extra Life marathon, which is happening one week from Saturday (Oct 25th)!
Don't forget that I'm doing a huge raffle for people that donate - you get one entry for every $5 you pledge and it goes to a really good cause. There are a lot of great games up for grabs, courtesy of IsThereAnyDeal.com
Check out the details here.

Am I gonna buy it, but my hand is rather full right now with many releasesIt means the Wii U and Bayo 2 need all the help they can get.
Hope Bayonetta 2 break Platinum Game curse!
From the comment, you can still unlocked it right? So I can still bought a physical copy of Beyond Earth without getting screwed?Yep.
That's a huge change then. Crazy. I can't see a lot of developers making the effort to change that. Cheap games from traders are going to go from being the default option to a rarity.
Shitty cover shootouts in generic warehouses, bad driving chase missions, "find the cameras to 'hack'", things like that.
Another Tuesday, another Humble Bundle coming up.
When it's out?

My birthday is coming up and we are almost at the end of the year. I need to generate a wish list for anyone who asks for one. What are the must play games released this year?
For big games (ei, expensive AAA games) I'm assuming the small list is Wolfenstein: New Order, South Park, Shadow of Mordor, and Alien. Is there anything I'm missing?
