More important than buying Bayonetta 2 is going to see Interstellar in real legit IMAX while simultaneously throwing shade at 2001 A Space Odyssey the film that ruined sci fi for the last 60 years.
I think you're doing that "being controversial for the sake of being controversial" thing again. >.>
I tried playing alone at night once. Nope.

No I just want See If Zeliard actually bans people
Actually, more specifically, I said that I have no interest in it since it's not my genre. I have no particular opinion about it, not having played either the original or the sequel. I don't know if that's more or less outrageous than not liking it though

I'd give a nut to see Interstellar in IMAX.

So you can only see it two times? What a pleb.

I still don't get IMAX. I'd rather go to a smaller theater and get more snacks like pizza and nachos.

I'm up for it, and I should be available to play as well, don't have any particular time restrictions either.

How big's the download?
I went to an IMAX theater once. I don't understand what all the commotion is about.

Giant screen? Really clear picture? Even a liemax screen looks really clean
Oh, nice reminder, last time I was invited to L4D2 and TF2 I only noticed it wasn't downloaded when I went to boot it.
Edit:
I bought Bayonetta for PS3 today, thanks to the PSN flash sale. Am I still a good person?
You still haven't downloaded them, right? Do you feel like a hero yet?

You gain brownie points for trying, but you might as well have bought Sonic The Hedgehog GBA port.
I did download them at the time and I still have them around, even though I never really play them
and they both remind me of you-know-who.

It's actually only 14GB.
Hey, I've done my homework and read that the PS3 port isn't that bad. Don't forget that I can't distinguish between 30 and 60 FPS.
Oh, and I'm sorry for those games. It's a shame that Voldemort had to be a L4D2 fan
(sorry, can't avoid making terrible jokes whenever I get the chance)

Play 60fps for an hour and then 30fps with the same game and you'll notice right away.
Plus, this genre is one of the worst to play under 60fps, it affects the gameplay quite a bit. And I hear the game goes under 30fps as well.
It's my fault that "Voldermort" become a L4D2 , and she was way more of a L4D1 fan anyway.
I never saw or read Harry Potter.

I did it anyway, no risk, no new browser, and so far I didn't get locked out. Maybe Steam checks the IP and some other stuff too.
I re-read a few paragraphs here and it is a bad port with many technical problems (unstable framerate that dips under 30, tearing, worse textures, blurriness, excessive load times even during gameplay). I only played the demo and the issues were enough to not make me want to get the full game.

That reminded me. I saw a guy in an awesome Sauron costume at New York Comic-Con (amazing armor, and he was on stilts!), posing for pictures with a couple of kids dressed as Hogwarts students. This led me to ask if he was the new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher.
Suffice it to say, you're not the only one who likes making terrible jokes. >.>
I couldn't agree more. I feel like it got a lot of undeserved hate but I really enjoyed it.
That gives me a lot more context to the joke, thanks.
Is GTA4 as bad as the hate it gets here? Nope. Same with Watch Dogs.
Hell yes to a chivalry night!
With Project Cars delayed it leaves FC4, AC and CoD out of the big ones for next month. Not hooked on any at full price to be honest. It's been a very good month or two for games at least.

There is a point where increasing screen size begins to become a detriment to the experience.

Hell yes, when was the last time we had 2 big-budget horror games(good ones too) released in one month?
I don't even usually like horror games but I'm really enjoying both.
Far Cry 4 does look decent. I'm sure AC will be alright too, and pretty. Damn even Cod looks good.
I ought to hold strong and get through this backlog of good games though. It's not going to happen :/
It's about 4.6 GB iirc. If you need a copy I still got 1 left from the 4 pack I opened earlier. I saw that you have the game wishlisted.
It makes the PS3 version look bad, sure, but because it's comparing it to the 360 one. I haven't played the latter, so I believe the former will be tolerable to me.
Tearing is the one thing that can ruin a game for me. I hope it's not too noticeable :/
My thoughts/complaints on The Darkness 2, about halfway through:
Holy shit, for a game that seems to be an ultraviolent comic book power fantasy with quad-wielding, it sure goes out of its way to make you feel weak as hell. While in the light, you can't see shit, can't use your darkness powers, and you can't do anything but run and shoot. Now, in addition to the natural light sources like streetlights, there are also enemies with flashlights (durable ones that take 5 shots to destroy) and indestructible lamps that run on generators you have to find and melee. By mid-game, when these enemies are relatively common, I lost the feeling of being a crazy badass that I had when the game first started.
Then there are the betentacled enemies that steal your gun from your hands; it doesn't help that the game doesn't automatically switch you to another weapon. And there's the shortage of ammo in general - I think they were aiming for players to use up what they have and pick up whatever is around them, but all the dropped weapons have pretty small clips anyway. I guess you can execute enemies for more ammo via a power, but that requires not being in the light.
Beyond that, Jackie simply seems to die pretty quickly on normal, and I found myself scrambling to eat hearts. In fact, half my time is spent looking at the ground scrounging for hearts instead of actually shooting at enemies. It kills the pace of the combat for me.
A lot of this can probably be mitigated by playing w/ mouse and kb. I'm using my DS4 right now because it was built around a controller and I'm a sucker for rumble. Still, I don't think my complaints above would change all that much.
Anybody have a similar experience with the game?

Still going strong with my mercy ghost run.
It's slow going, but it's damn satisfying:
Also now that I have
the upgrade that shows you where coins are, I can finally get all of them during my first run.

Or you could just kill anyone who isn't blonde. You could be like a goblin gestapo working towards building a master human race for some reason.
How do you tell what colour someone's hair is under a helmet or a hood?

I've started to play Cosmic DJ, and it's something different. It offers some big WTF moments.
But I have yet to see the babies and the dogs from the trailer (I'm not sure they really are in the game though).
