Just finished Metro: Last light (Redux).
Can't remember a recent game with worse human AI than this one. It made the stealth levels and the game overall far too easy. Also,
. Really? The last battle had a great intro, but the battle itself was disappointing (too short and too easy). Shame that the bad parts ruined the whole experience, because the thing that the game does, does very well: the technical side was great, gunplay was far more satisfying than in 2033 and the horror elements were good. Story itself wasn't too bad, with the exception I mentioned in the spoiler tags.
Even though 2033 had a lot of unrealized potential, it was more consistent and overall better experience than Last Light.

Just doing a small giveaway for my extra humble bundle keys. Good luck, hope someone wants some of these.

Ahh okay, thanks for clarifying.
Has anyone else noticed that enemies' reaction to getting hit in ARMA 3 is really weird? They kind of jerk back, let go of their gun which floats there for a split second, and then they jerk back to their original stance. It also seems like it takes more hits to down enemies (3 or 4) than in ARMA 2 (1 or 2).
Other than that, game's amazing. Most fun I've ever had with a military sim. I'm gonna try to finish the campaign and try MP and Breaking Point early this week, so if anyone wants to team up just let me know! I'd love a partner that's smarter than the AI!

Darkness II, especially if you liked the first.

If you're a fan, you'll at least like it. If not, skip.

Wrong about commas, wrong about everything
I can't be the only person in the world thinking that if you are a fan of something you should doubly stay away from bad games based on it.

You can see were they are. They are always in an already hollowed out space.
(sorry for the crappy quality. I already uninstalled the game so I just searched for this in a youtube video)
Did you save the key? It might still work.
Didn't have the time since i got it via my iphone and...i was at work =_=
I haven't watched the show, but I still bought it
The first playthrough is kinda slow because you have to unlock everything. In the second with everything it is a really good game. But it is obvious that they didn´t have much time/money because it had way more potential.

I have to do 2 playthroughs to have the real game?
That's some jank right there. You get it right the first time or don't bother.
Well the game overall is short and you unlock all 4 bending types after some chapters so your options in the first run are limited. With all combos and bendings unlocked it is the most fun.

Thanks. xD
I figured I'd give him the least expectations possible. I really like the game, but I know most aren't going to enjoy it like I do.
Awesome game.
Completed it on Hard.
(With KB/M. Don't know whether that's even possible with a controller.)

Something simple like windows movie maker will work just fine for that.Quick question and not something worth starting a thread over. What's the best program to use to join 2 videos together ? For example if I take a video with Shadowplay it splits files every 4 gigs or so, so just wanting to stitch them back together
It's pretty good.
I'd recommend it to fans of the genre, but I agree with FtHTiny that it REALLY gets good on the second playthrough since you have all your abilities unlocked at that point, it helps to think of it like DMC4 where you play through the same levels twice but the second time through is way cooler because you've got all these new abilities.
basically all PG games that's not vanquish due to how they do their skills progression
except that this game is a lot shorter than their other games so it's especially noticeable that they limit your skillset for half of the game, but yeah second playthrough was more fun than the first.

Don't recall having that issue with either Bayonetta or anarchy reigns.

When you have no money left.
Or you can just say to yourself, "I already bought enough games for this month, let me finish some of them before spending more money."
You have to go in as enthusiastically and deep as possible. Repeat as necessary until you have spent everything you have regardless of the consequences.

Some thought about Alien: The developers should make the Alien AI to go take a hike to somewhere else when NPCs are telling you stuff, or else I can't concentrate when it's *pom pom pom* right above me, shit is so tense!
You won't get enough halos to unlock all bayonetta accessories and skillset in 1 playthrough from what I can remember, so you don't use her at her full potential, but you're right I guess they didn't lock the core mechanics like korra did. I just meant that their games are generally designed for multiple playthroughs. Things like panther and crow don't unlock until later in the game for example.

You mean someone criticized Alien for being boring because he freezed it in place?
On the other hand, I find it endearing that you truly are never safe.
It's going to be an interesting GOTY race this year, with the massive AAA franchises critically flopping, Destiny/Watch Dogs, or building off the same, tired formula, Assassin's Creed/COD.
Since it's GAF, I'm guessing there is a chance the Last of Us port will win...

Yep, sad thing is if Hotline Miami 2 doesn't come out this year, I only have A Bird Story (the To The Moon spin off) to look forward to :S
This, a thousand times this.
One of the best comics series ever + dem

I'm still sitting with Dark Souls 2 as my GOTY so far.

I rarely scour the rooms for resources, just pick up stuff along the way, and skimmed through most terminal entries because it can kill me any time. I'm fine with it, I don't use my gadgets a lot, and those journals aren't so interesting.
Console only players still outnumber us, good thing we have our own GOTY list.

No love for Wolfenstein: TNO?
I have a feeling that free Warlock 2 was actually supposed to just be the DLC that came with it, but based GamersGate always looking out for the customer... Hopefully it won't get revoked, considering they honored the Bethesda mess up you wouldn't think so but since no one actually "paid" for this one, they might.

I'm still trying to figure out why people loved it so much.
Thought it going back to classic FPS design was great, but I sure didn't think it warranted more than a decent FPS if you ask me.
--------------------
Dark Souls 2 and Divinity are 2 games I need to play but havent.
I own both but Divinty is daunting to start and DS2 I own on PS3 and i'm still waiting on the PC version instead.
2014 has been good, but 2015 will be an amazing year.
I haven't played Bayo yet, but I would have no problem with That game winning the GOTY.

My GOTY so far. Gameplay-wise, some things reminded me of Bulletstorm... which is a definite plus in my book. And the storytelling + characterization was excellent.

But that's what we say every year.
Though possibly since we should see more multiplatform stuff made exclusively for current gen.

I really liked the pacing and the story. They also did a really good job with BJ, he felt like a human being in TNO.
That the gameplay was really good helped tremendously, of course.
