I would like to amend my previous statement.
The Longest Journey is excellent.
Dreamfall is a much less satisfying puzzle experience. It's half shitty stealth/combat, and half walking simulator.

I just finished Assassin's Creed 3 but I don't remember this in the game. Did I miss it, or was it just not there?
That was in Liberation, maybe they recycled some things.
Also, I believe that the canoe was originally supposed to be in the game, but ended up being cut content. I'm surprised that Ubi kept that for Asscreed III's store page, since it's more or less a misleading promotional shot.
Actually, wait, Ubi and the phrase "misleading promotional shot" basically go hand in hand.
Happy birthday!
I loved them both. The writing in Dreamfall was rad, and it was amazing to see how people and places from the first game changed entirely in ten years. I've been replaying it for the release on Tuesday, and the art direction is still utterly fabulous!
Yeah, the combat is weak. There's a lot of meandering, but it's so peaceful. lovelovelove the game with all my heart!
TLJ will always be on another level, though even playing through that last year, some of the puzzle mechanics were wildly obtuse. It's the writing that feels paramount in both titles for me, this is my most anticipated game in forever!
I agree with this. I also don't think the characters or story is as good as TLJ. Still I enjoyed parts of Dreamfall and I'm looking forward to Dreamfall Chapters.

The Longest Journey has terrible, bullshit adventure game puzzles and Dreamfall has terrible combat. Neither is perfect but both are worth playing for the writing and gorgeous worlds, although I haven't played either for a while so that might not still be the case. Have chapters pre-ordered so I should try to replay the first two real quickly, lol. Need to get the steam versions.

The Longest Journey suffers from the P&C adventure terrible puzzle syndrome. Dreamfall suffers from bad combat sections.
The latter take up far less time than the former though, and both games aren't something you play for those elements. So Dreamfall wins.

Damn, super tempted to use a trainer just to blitz to the dlc. I was trying really hard to not use a guide and it bit me in the ass : /
Go play SpaceChem or something.I played TLJ for the puzzles...
It shouldn't take you too long now that you know what you are doing.
Just ring the two bells and get to Anor Londo.
I'm not too excited for it, mostly because I know nothing of the IP and I feel like I should watch/read the relevant stuff before buying the game.
I'd just say for him to go programming, why bother with playing puzzle games at this point?

Shame to see Platinum stoop so low, but even the greatest of companies make mistakes.
Do whatever needs to be done, just don't skip the DLC
In what way? Seems like the perfect IP for them.
Going to need to elaborate on this one.

If you're talking about having to use Activision as a publisher, it was either having Acti as the publisher or not getting the game at all. So I'm more than happy to fill Acti's bank account when the time comes.

Random Korra dislike? It's Platinum, it'll be fun even if you don't like the IP. I don't know squat about MG and MGR was fun for me.

listen to the mad man
Valve even got rid of the Greenlight vote counter so there's no way you'll be getting a badge for clicking through the discovery queue. Boycott Valve. I'm going Desura exclusive!
The last time I played a FPS with a controller was Killzone 2 on PS3 and before that it was Resistance. I said never again.
I had to stop the SCP service since just unplugging the controller wasn't working.
The "best" thing is that it offers you demos separately.
And by best, I mean "seriously, Valve?"
It's still there on the Greenlight landing page. You are logged in, right?
Maybe he broke the counter, or it just goes "why are you checking? You voted on everything!"

Desura? I'm going GOG
Lol Desura. Origin exclusive for me, must give my EA overlords more money.

My current list of games I'm backed up on is absurd, but I've narrowed it down to a few options to spend the day on.
Darkness 2
Devil May Cry 4
Guacamelee Super Turbo Championship Edition
Hatoful Boyfriend
Killer is Dead
Skyrim
Skullgirls
Transformers: Fall of Cybertron
What say the thread?

The sub was pulled a few weeks ago. It's just the store page that's still up. Kiss even disabled all unused keys.

Everyone's gonna tell you Hatoful Boyfriend. But seriously man, Skyrim.

Activision couldn't even use their coffers to make it a full game :/
Oh, I didn't look too closely at it, it was insta-nope.
That's... kinda bizarre, though.
DMC4. Aside from the forgetful protagonist, it's very solid.
Guacamelee is good fun. Solid game all the way through with excellent presentation. Killer is Dead on the other hand I didn't find enjoyable.
That's an extremely varied list. I would say Devil May Cry 4 is the best overall game.
Skyrim is a massive time sink, and I am not a fan of the game design.
SteamGAF loves Guac, Transformers, and Killer is Dead.

That Link here is useful if you want to play & mod Skyrim: http://www.overclock.net/t/1169623/skyrim-visual-graphic-mods-list
Spend the entire day modding Skyrim, only to realize the game crashes every 3min. It is the one true way.
Transformers is all kinds of awesome. I am not biased.

Guac is a good afternoon killer. It's not that long a game, and upgrades are thrown at you at a good pace.
Real boyboctterse stick with physical releases.
Guacamelee is a pretty good expereinc, and I'd do a few runs of Hatoful boyfriend, should take an hour tops to get any ending.
He could probably beat all of the other games in the time it'd take him to beat Skyrim alone.
just a reminder to all you poeple with Tabletop Simulator
go download King of Tokyo, complete edition for your games. i'll be hosting a game night to teach people soon

They removed it for people who have voted for lots of stuff, I assure you.
Awesome now I can tell people a monkey was my teacher!

darkness 2 is a fun FPS , you can probably beat the game today so thats a good option , guacamelee is fun too
Most of those games are from different genre, so it depends on what you're in the mood for.
DMC4 is solid but like other dmc games it has a learning curve and a lot of depth with its combat system, and I would say the main campaign is weak compared to modern action games, but if you've played other action games you can't go wrong with this.
Guacamelee is a sidescroller and it's accessible and fun to play, great platforming sections and pretty cool combat, it's fun, short and sweet.
Killer is dead is a really cool hack and slash game, not really a lot of depth but it has style and the combat is competent enough, I enjoyed it, visually it's great.
All 3 of those are decent.
Skyrim is a long game and if I were to play it on PC I'd probably spend more time modding that shit than actually playing it, either way I think it's a good game for exploration and probably a great way to spend the weekend, even for those that dislike it don't find out until many hours later
