Just beat Batman: Arkham Origins. Was gonna skip it but when Arkham Knight got delayed further I traded a couple of TF2 keys for it, and I'm glad I did. Aside from some slight jank and the linear unlock progression I liked it better than City. In particular, the city is now just slightly dull instead of really dull like Arkham City was. Story was also a lot more interesting even if it went in some... disappointing directions mid-game. Spoilers:
Joker, again? C'mon. This version of him was pretty brutal though.
I award it three Batmans.

I guess I'll get the DLC and Blackgate next, and then pray to the VRAM gods my 770 can run Arkham Knight at an acceptable frame rate. Already couldn't keep 60 FPS in this one with PhysX at max, but eh. PhysX.
 
Alright, that's game #97 finished for this year.
Assassin's Creed Liberation was a pretty fun game, although there was quite a lot of glitches I experienced.
It took me 8.6hrs to complete, and that's with killing all the CitizenE targets and getting the true ending(thanks to everyone who replied to an earlier post I made asking if it was worth it<3)
It's a pretty fun game, and I'd totally be down for more AC games based on Aveline/characters like Aveline.


Although when Gérard was flirting with her and Aveline said he is a great friend, oooohh, that was rough to watch.

I enjoyed it way more than AC. I thought some things were not so great in the story of AC (or even looked a bit stupid), and the city itself was completely uninteresting.

I really enjoyed the story of AO, since it's the prototype of the Batman stories that I like (especially the Christmas time setting). The only downsides would be the presence of too many bugs and too many QTEs.

Well, AC4 has a super short DLC mission where you play as Aveline as well :p. I agree though, it's a solid game, and Aveline is probably my second favourite protagonist in the series (after Haytham Kenway).

I was gonna play that when I played through AC4 earlier this year but I hadn't completed ACL yet so I decided against it, currently debating if it's worth reinstalling the like 30GBs, last time I tried to download AC4 through uplay it was a nightmare :(
It'd either use up all my internet speed slowing the net down for everyone in the house or when I capped it, it'd make my CPU usage skyrocket.

So if i'm reading the bayo2 thread correctly there is no longer a holy trio of action games, but a new crowned champion?


I'm in for chivalry.

Eh, save it for if you ever decide to replay AC4. The DLC really can't be more than a half hour long.

I just saw this in Community. Lol Bring a new meaning to wallhack.

So bear with me here. I know I have to download the Private Server Tool to set up a server for Chivalry tomorrow. What I'm wondering is. Does everyone need to download the private server tool? or just the host?

The
flashback to the Alien planet
around chapter 10 of Alien Isolation was just fabulous -- many shots taken during this section. And yes, like another poster said before, the flamethrower is fabulous and gave me two cheevos in less than a minute. Not that I really care about cheevos btw.
 
I quickly ran past all the working joes and went into an elevator, I thought I was safe then I turned around and saw one of them was in it with me, I panicked and fired four shots into its face, then I realized I have my jackhammer with me then finished it with it.

SteamGAF - anyone here played the Steam version of Beyond Good and Evil?

If so, how bearable is it considering its a old port? Or should I go for the GOG version?

Lol what? I...Did he commit sudoku?

i actually texted him and asked if he was still alive one day lol

said he got some IT job and became super busy and didnt feel like playing anything when he got home so he just never got back on. i like to leave that part out, just make people think Deadliest Warrior is the reason he doesn't get on anymore

I'm an idiot.
Wasted an hour downloading "Age of Chivalry" Server instead of "Chivalry:Medieval Warfare" Server. I swear, having a full stomach lower your IQ by 50.

I am going to make it through this year if it kills me

All energy is focused on digestion.

I'm talking out of my ass, 3 beers in but it sounds plausible.

I have one satellite, but not enough uplink capability, I'm building an uplink but it's taking a long time.

Happy Birthday Lynx !

Happy Birthday, JustLynx! Shouldn't we be giving you a present instead of the opposite? It's cool with me either way, though.
