Same, zero interest in it.

Naw, I stopped buying into game hype with titanfall. Ain't buying anything on day one when I can get it for half off or more around day 60-90.
Makes playing good games feel even greater and mediocre games good, since I didn't pay full price and usually most games will be decently patched up by then.
My mom said I'd amount to nothing or something worth even less. She was right.
These moms know their stuff.

I'm glad I didn't buy into the hype, since I've heard bad things about it. Maybe if it comes to PC and has a really good sale.

Moms are tough.
Yeah, I'm not all that interested either. It looks alright, but I'd rather play Wolfenstein for the 5th time.
It's a good game, I'm enjoying it a lot but it is basically a Bungie shooter. Fantastic enemy AI and combat which is the meat and bones and a lot of fun. It's not flashy or full of spectacle but I really like the core mechanics. It could do with more mission variety but I'd buy it on PC again in a heartbeat for 60fps alone. Overhyped and the story is utter bollocks but it's a damn decent game.

I am going to make it through this year if it kills me
I'm interested in Destiny, even if it's just Borderlands with better production value and less jokes.
But it's the kind of game I wouldn't want to play on a last gen console. But seeing as I don't own a current gen console, and neither do any of my friends I would want to play co-op with, I'm going to hold off on buying it.
I'll get it when I get a PS4 or it comes out on PC, whichever comes first.
I'm sure you're great, but you aren't special.

Hhhehehe
I love how that phrase almost became a 4 letter word thanks to the crapfest that was FFXIII
I'm really into sci-fi and I also like shooters. However, the several hours of the beta I played bored me to tears. I thought the story was incoherent, the gunplay dull and the bullet sponge bosses not fun at all, and finally the loot collecting aspect also didn't sit right with me. Which is to say, I'm really not sure why people make such a big deal out of that game.
I'm a lot less interested now after seeing some gameplay and listening to people talk about it, that's for sure. I was a big Halo fan, and I was somewhat interested in seeing what Bungie were up to now, but Destiny looks a bit meh.
I'll re-evaluate when it's on sale on PC.
still better than Titanfall's (or Wolfenstein's) 50GB
I had to delete Titanfall, it just wasn't worth having it take up almost 50gb of space just for that game alone. Was it just the languages they left in that produced that BS? Is there anyway possible to patch something like that out and reduce the overall file size?
5 GB? This is becoming my pet peeve of digital gaming more than anything else. Can these services allow language selection download options so we don't have to waste disk space and bandwidth for huge chunks of unused data?

Again, SteamGAF proves me that we thrive more on personal recommendations than media hype
Am I the only one (I'm not, but whatever) that doesn't understand why exactly that phrase got quoted everywhere?
But then again, MGS2 dud hype during streams.

Man, Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy is nowhere near as good as I remember it being :/
Time to purge that monstrosity from my mind again.
That looks pretty cool. I can usually get behind games with the 1920s as a setting, too.
That looks sort of spooky, I guess.
I really shouldn't be surprised that those are among the first search results just for the game's name. I really shouldn't be.

Huh, my 6 year old workstation I'm about to chop in will run Alien Isolation. The curse of cross gen gaming or remarkably scalable engine? Well I guess we'll find out next month.
Regards to Destiny, I don't know. I liked what I played of the beta (in crapy PS3-o-vision) but from hearing that the campaign doesn't do to much more different than what that set out I'd really only pick it up if some mates were as well. Seems like going solo could depend on your tolerance to a small set of rewards and gameplay repetition.

What do you mean? Wait that's NOT a game where Kraven the Hunter lures Spider-Man to his manor where he has to survive a 1 night hunt in a manor full of traps and shit?
You made your profile private though. I can't see if you've been playing Hatoful Boyfriend or not.
I'm being stalked so I made it pvt because it was annoying, didn't know it didn't show what I've been playing.
Spoiler:
it's Marvel as usual

FFXIII had a very annoying character and her even more annoying son that reminded you of this phrase. Most people use it to narrow down why they dislike FFXIII so much. Even when the honest version would be a "I don't like FFXII because is a shit of a game"

I'd be down for the Spiderman equivalent of Arkham Asylum.

Anyone here play Cave Story+? And if so, did you attempt to run through Hell under 3 minutes? How long did that take you, approximately? 'Cos I might just hold off on trying until I get feeling in my wrists again.
bring it on
Honestly, it never made sense to me either. Of all of the stilted dialog and unrealistic character interactions in FFXIII, "Mom's are tough" doesn't even rank. I'd go as far as to say that line is one of the more believable lines in the game to be quite honest.
I guess maybe it got more attention because it was included in the demo, when there wasn't a whole lot known about the story.

I'm not sure how old this is but Steam's content stats page now has an interactive map of global traffic that can be sorted by data transferred or speeds.
http://store.steampowered.com/stats/content/
I find the satellite view more interesting. Southern Brazil is the third most dense section of green dots. Russia has a surprisingly low density of dots for it's 10% traffic. And does the Australian map mirror the population distribution?

It's nothing special, but it's been a fun game to play so far
It's been like 3 years of different attempts and I still haven't finished the 3rd form of that final boss. Hardest thing ever in gaming.

Oh jeez, if I'd known Castlevania stuff was on sale today, I would have held off on getting Chivalry. I've been wanting to play MoF again on PC.
Y'know, this may sound like blasphemy, but having to play KotOR II at 30 fps due to technical issues (insane tearing at 60 fps) makes me realize that 30 fps really isn't that bad for slower-paced games - when there's a visual benefit. At least for strategy games, I'm going to consider downsampling from 1440p or higher and locking them at 30.
Jeez I'm barely squeaking by on those minimum reqs. At least I got it for practically nothing.

I don't mind it for stuff where I'm using a gamepad, but if I'm using a mouse cursor then 30fps feels really gross. It's not even about how it looks for me, I can handle that. It just doesn't feel good to use a mouse at 30fps.
Well, yeah. I played FFXIII (at least the beginning, because my PS3 died in the meantime, when I was still early in the story) and it just didn't stick out to me, maybe except for "that was Mary Elizabeth McGlynn voicing her, wasn't it?".
She dies right after that anyway, so unless she's seen in some kind of flashback, gets resurrected (lol, why not?) or the phrase itself returns, I couldn't care less about her and if not for her voice I wouldn't even remember that she existed.
But as I've said, haven't reached that far in the game.

Its all I've been playing since I got it. The strange thing is that its not even an amazing game but there's just something about it that doesn't let me put it down, are you on ps4?
Oh, I agree - I mean stuff that's cursor-based. Playing shooters or action games or anything in which the mouse directly controls the camera is awful at 30 fps.
As much as I dislike large game sizes(and downloading them), these more modern games have incredible audio quality that take advantage of quality headphones/surround systems. Horror month can't come soon enough!

Would you say Assassins Creed is a collectathon?
I think if you just follow the story-missions the game is quite boring, but as a completionist I always spend a lot of time with the AC games and most of the time because of collecting things, doing side-missions, upgrading different things etc.
I wonder if there are people that just finish the story in those Games and then be done with it. I think you can finish every AC game in 5-6 hours then.
Same with the Arkham Games. Do each main-missions and you are finished pretty quickly.

Absolutely, there is some real garbage in the game and you can tell it underwent some major development woes but there are still a lot of interesting set pieces and fun combat. Just a shame that the city elements so often feel cheaply thrown in. The idea of a modern Gothic city was incredible but so often you just end up in the blandest hotels you can think of. You get some more interesting city areas from time to time that show what they were going for, but it only makes it all the more more disappointing when you end up in another sewer. Plus the game felt really easy even on the hardest difficulty setting, but at this point I might just be good at the genre.
Still, despite all of that the castle elements are gorgeous, the bosses fun to fight against, and the combat feels great. Just hurts to think about what it should have been, I still think the first game is one of the best games in the genre that despite the slow start branches out to have an incredible sense of a journey that few games can match. You can tell the sequel had equally grand ambitions but something went horribly wrong.
