Where do you get that price? Russia is more expensive even without the DLCs.
The guys in the GB Quick Look weren't all that excited either. Looks like the 'real' hype wasn't so real after all.

Same here (In fact I think I had the same issue as you with KOTOR2 when I played it). I've been realizing that I can deal with 30 completely fine as long as I can play at my desktop resolution w/vsync. Heck, I was playing BF4 on my laptop (High-medium mix settings, no AA, desktop res) at 30-50fps and it didn't bother me in the least.
Just because I like you doesn't make me a stalker. >:|
Er-I mean!!
Friends-only would solve that, yeah?
But of course.

No, but it can be if you want it to be. I will say that at times it doesn't bother me but today it's kinda bothering me. Just tedious needless work to pad out their game when side missions that aren't the Assassin's vs Templars would work. For instance, hunting the whales and sharks in 4: Black Flag has broken some of the monotony. That as would
going into Abstergo Entertainment
Thankfully though, 4: Black Flag lists all of them if you sync areas instead of hiding them unless you buy a treasure map, so at least they understand that bullshit isn't very fun for most people.
It's going for 4 tf2 keys on dispenser.tf. I buy my TF2 keys for 1.85$

I am just wondering. Who buys games like Batman or AC just to enjoy a 5-6 hour story. I mean a big part of those games are the sidequests and the collecting stuff part.
Actually in Black Flag I really like this modern-time setting. It seems like almost 90% of the modern-time story is hidden in those computers and notes. It kinda feels a bit like Deus Ex.

I though castlevania 2 was region locked. Did they change it?
Somewhat, but collecting all chests is pretty pointless as you'll make enough money just playing the game. Everything else has some half-decent reward, though. Ubi's just trying to give people a reason to explore these worlds, so I can't blame them populating the map with all these trinkets.
Guys i need opinions...
Playing Papers, Please, and iv'e encountered a woman who is the wife of the person i just let through.
i've already goofed twice this day, and i can't really afford the 5 credit dock in pay because my son is sick.
what do i do? be kind to the foreigners, or think only of my family?

Me, I'm mostly there for the meta-plot and "main plot" and exploring the maps while going to the missions. I'm no there for collect-a-thon for extra hours for one new item that doesn't really make it worth the hassle when I can still counter-kill someone easy with the default weapons.
I actually liked the modern times before 4. But I HATED 3's ending to the meta-plot there. It was just rushed. And I don't like how 4 basically hand-waves it away with
"Oh well Desmond died but we got a sample of his blood so we can continue to poke around in his memories so fans can explore Kenway's brood because they liked Haytham over Connor in 3!"

Why does everything have to be a roguelike?
It looks so good otherwise.
The game literally has the name "Dungeon" in it. If it's not a roguelike, it's gonna be an ARPG, with a few rare exceptions.

That's the name of the game. They lead to different endings I believe, so do what you think is best.

I wouldnt really say I hated it.
I just thought Desmonds Death wasnt really played out dramatically. He was dead and... why should I care? The same with Lucy in AC2. Japanese games can do it really well, but I didnt care about Desmonds Death at all.
I hated it because there was no choice. Basically
It was just a hastily written ending and I don't like the whole lack of motivation to at least expand Desmond's reasoning behind the whole thing. Especially when they expanded the whole meta-plot and had conspiracies that didn't go anywhere before that for four games before 3. :|
Desmond dies because he chooses to die to try to save the human race. Despite the fact that his entire party goes "wait, you don't have to die! Some humans may die but we can survive this cataclysm and come out of it stronger." Instead it's just written so Desmond dies and they can get around the 2012 world-ending meta-plot they did.

Okay, that explains the lower price as that bundle via the exploit is actually cheaper than C2 alone.
But it's missing the Revelations DLC.

Wrong about commas, wrong about everything
Do what you think you should do. That's the game. Although I never even came close to run out of money somehow.
I didn't play Revelations so I was kinda surprised by the whole
the world is going to end
Man, I seriously loved the ending of AC2 though
It was kinda hilarious cause I thought the game would give me a choice. And I wouldn't have chosen what the game chose for me.

I think the worst part about it is that
Desmond's death is so lame. He just touches a big glowing ball, is shocked with magical First Civilization power that makes his hand apparently undergo necrosis really fast, and falls over. Truly a fitting end to the protagonist that some people played as for five games including III.
The ending to 3 ruined the series for a good while for me. It took me until the past few days to even get around to playing AC4/Black Flags singleplayer, that's how bad the ending fucked up for me.
That said:
put a smile on my face. Only for it to be removed when you
Ubisoft needs to stop hitting the male characters with the plastic surgeon ugly stick. I swear he's going to be the new Desmond 2.0 in changing things for the worst between games. :|

Seeing Sean and Rebecca again after about 5 hours of singleplayer

The saddest thing is that I was 100% certain that AC would build up to a full modern game AC game with Desmond with some cool future gadgets that let you climb skycrapers etc.
Cause up till AC3I was really into the AC story. Sure it was dumb, but it was SOO dumb that I really, really enjoyed it for some reason.

I wanted that after I played II for the first time, because it felt like that was what the game was leading to. I still sort of wanted that when I played Brotherhood for the first time. After playing Revelations, I kind of stopped caring as much about the modern day part of the story. III kind of destroyed the interest that I had left in it.
IV sort of brought it back a bit, but I'm way more interested in the historical settings. Ass Creed has moved from a scifi historical murder simulator series to just a historical murder simulator series for me now.
I still miss II's Subject 16 glyphs. Those were great, and actually made me interested in the plot.
That must seriously be one of the most annoying, overused 'labels' that goes around these parts.
I assure you I am never 'trolling' with anything I ever say. I have no intention of illiciting reactions from people or being dishonest about my opinions of anything for the purposes of pushing an agenda.
Its simply become a convenient dismissal of somebody's opinion in many cases.
Anyways, my only point is that roguelikes aren't my thing. A turn-based game like that looks really good, but adding in roguelike elements kills my interest. I was just expressing disappointment at that since its happened quite a few times.
I have no problem with games being roguelikes in actuality. I don't expect the gaming industry to cater to me. It was just a passing comment.
well shit...

I'm going to Target on Friday and am really torn on this b1g1. I'm probably going $20 eShop for my girlfriend so she can get Tomodachi Life next week, and $20 Steam for me so I can pay off TEW.
And I was so close to a free Smash copy. Decisions, decisions...

Ahhh, I've got to play this game again. So addictive.
(Actually...that's quite possibly a reason why I shouldn't start playing it again.)

The Destiny review thread is proving to be rather entertaining. Hopefully some of the bigger sites publish their review scores soon so that the fireworks can really start up

I really don't understand the review obsession on GAF.
We are well aware that gaming journalism is a corrupt and utterly broken institution. Yet, we spend hundreds of pages discussing review scores of games with extremely high marketing budgets.
All I do is go on IGN and Kotaku. scroll down to the bottom and look for the bottom lines. But that would effect like 20% of my judgement to try the game or not.

What?
I found Hope, Vanille, and Sazh to be annoying... Vanille was the worst tho.
But I have no idea what you're talking about with a character and her son?
And FF13 was the best FF game since FF9.
What?
The main game is going for 4 tf2 keys? That seems ridiculously low considering it's locked.

I don't even do that. I just ask GAF, "Hey GAF, is it good?" and then the entirety of GAF responds in a single post. "Nope," GAF says. Then I'm all, "Okay
" and I save my money.Well, maybe I'm misremembering the details slightly, but that's the general idea.
Bioshock Infinite gets a 5.1GB update. ITs localized voices for the DLC, something that I don't care about and yet I have to waste 5.1 gb of bandwidth and hard drive space. Good job 2K.
What happened to the option to turn off updates for games on Steam? Now I have to update games which messes everything up.

If you spend enough time perusing reviews, you learn to read between the lines. It's not hard to tell whether a reviewer wants to give something a shit score but won't for job security reasons, and at the very least, you can see what data remains consistent (and vice versa) between the various published opinions.
The digital bundle, so main game+ a bunch of dlc. Albeit being locked, the ROW sub is not purchase restricted, so russian can buy it through a exploit.

Do you mean b1g1 25% off or is there something I'm missing?

Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.
Well, shit. There goes the last rational explanation.
Someone dial up an ambulance and Jado.
You weren't really sticking your neck out for me, though. You weren't dispelling the notion of my reputation, you were just commenting in spite of it. In fact, you're doing nothing but reinforcing my 'reputation' by mentioning it(its actually the first I've heard of it).
So yea, sorry if I'm not particularly grateful. :/
