Guys, don't go to the Destiny review thread if you don't want to be bannedEverybody is really upset after the hype train exploded into thousand pieces.
I don't really give a shit about console FPS games anyways, so no loss there.

I'm not going in there but what is going on? Someone fill me in?
I'm not sure what's happening in those threads, but SteamGAF is almost always a safe haven.
I will give just one example: They are comparing Titanfall and Destiny and which game had more weapons available at launch, because that's... relevant for anything? =)
Well, after it became clear that Destiny isn't the masterpiece it was advertised to be, there is a war going on why Destiny is the greatest or worst game of all time

Mirrors Edge is the daily deal?
You bought generic ainmu keyshit, so you're alright by me. Also I plan on finishing it tonight if nothing else comes up.
DR3 overtime was bad because it's all about having to do the most frustrating thing in the game; traveling to the opposite side of the city.
The Witcher 2 is basically Dark Souls lite. The real problem is that you become untouchable to most enemies less than half way through Act I, even on Dark mode.

What's wrong with The Witcher's combat?
People don't like the more rhythm-based stuff I guess?

You don't **need** rhythm though...
No it isn't. I keep seeing that comparison, and it's completely ridiculous.
Is this a setup for an "all you need is soul" joke?

I'm one of those people who didn't get far in TW1 because of the battle system. ^^; Promised myself I'd pick it back up at some point, since people whose opinions I trust say it's worth playing (and that I ought to play it before TW2). When I do, I'll give this combat mod you mentioned a go.
Yeah, that's it in a nutshell for me. I'm very take-it-or-leave-it on rhythm-based anything. Kind of wish it had a more traditional action-oriented battle system like that game I've been playing lately (you know, the terrible one I have poor taste for enjoying. ; ) )

Wow. I died for the first time in DR3... What a ridiculous difficulty spike.
I'm talking about those stupid mechanical arms

If I can wreck mobs with group style using pgp and a ds3, everyone can do it.
Were they that difficult? I beat them more or less without problems.
Yeah there's nothing really wrong with TW1's combat. I actually kind of preferred it to the more hack n slash combat of TW2.
Yeah, those games are nothing alike really.

Having 100% and over 350 across all three souls games, I feel like I'll agree with you when I get to playing it.
Yes it is. Dark Souls isn't that complex or special. The only real innovation it did was go in the extreme opposite of hand holding to its own detriment and some interesting work with hitboxes. The abysmal PC port did not improve its impression. What I played of the game itself isn't that impressive. But like RE4, people on GAF like to apotheosize mediocrity.
The rhythm gameplay really gets more irritating the longer you play

yep, the fact that case west is canon is bs, not to mention the fact that this fucking thing made the ending A canon instead of S
not to sound like a weeb but capcpom really should stop outsourcing to western devs, dead rising 1 is still the best in the series imo
I don't know if this was mentioned but Volgarr the Viking is 75% off - $2.99-(the cheapest it has been). So if someone didn't get it from the bundle the other day now is your chance. Highly recommended.
For european folks it's cheaper to get it here:

In the EU it's 2,99€ on Steam, so Amazon is cheaper

Some people can be real jerks, two dudes I've never meet or are on my friends list just show up and post stuff on my screenshot lol. I can't help my Five Night's at Freddy's screenshot is the hypest thing on the Freddy's community section.
This is why you only share screenshots with friends and not set them public

I liked dr2 best personally. Case West was so bad, IMO, that I just stopped playing. At this point if its dead rising and has whatever joke they're currently trying to pass off as Frank, it's probably a dumpster fire.
Bold opinions.

Hard Reset
This is a sound recommendation.

Bought it. Thanks for posting it, I wouldn't have seen it otherwise.
No, it isn't. Witcher 2's combat is fucking terrible and Dark Souls' combat is quite good. Witcher 2 has more in common with Batman AA than it does Dark Souls. The only similarity it has to DS is that they both have high lethality in trash mobs. W2 has randomized attacks with some association to distance from enemy. That combination alone makes it seem like the designers had no idea what they were doing.
And that's why I post screenshots as "Friends Only".

That is why you upgrade your agility and mechanical skills. Makes it easier to sprint through zombies without being grabbed and increases the amount of damage your vehicle can take before exploding.

Looks like I'm going to change mine to that, haven't had a problem before.
True story: I disliked Hard Reset so much that I haven't even thought about getting Shadow Warrior.
It's a "classic" shooter that fails at everything classic shooters excelled at, in my book.

Project Zomboid.
And, as per your request, I'm not suggesting or asking you to play this, I'm telling you what you're playing.
At the highest level the cars can not be broken anymore =)
you take private definition to whole new level.
Who on earth, mars and venus would you make screenshots friends only?

I'm the exact same way, mate.
I heard a lot about how Hard Reset was a return to classic shooters and stuff, but main, I wanna know what classic shooters it did return to, because it seems like they weren't the good ones.
Guns felt terrible, map design was weird, and it just overall was so...bleehhhh
It also lasted like 2 hours too long, I kept thinking "when will this be over?!" while playing it.
I don't understand what you are getting at.
Why would I make screenshots public? So a bunch of people I don't know, and whose opinions I don't care about can comment on them? No thanks. Don't see the point of that at all.
I mean that's like least private thing, and people rarely comment on screenshots anyway, but it's your choice, I was just surprised that you care.

True but that's at level 50 which in my playthroughs on the 360 and PC was post-game play.

I share my screenshots with public and I never had issues like those. Maybe I'm just lucky.

Hard Reset was pretty good in my book. Shadow Warrior is one of my favorite games to come out in the last few years. It's very well done and a ton of fun.
This is how I felt when I first started playing DS. All I can recommend you doing is sticking with it and spending more time playing it. My opinion eventually completely reversed, and I really appreciate that game now. The difficulty/lack of handholding is completely intentional and it makes the game incredibly rewarding. Where the game really shines, at least for me, is the exploration aspect of it. The level design is often quite genius in DS. Also, if you apply the DSfix 'mod' to DS on PC, it becomes completely playable (with a controller). I had zero issues with it after doing that.
While I wouldn't say TW2's combat is 'fucking terrible', I do agree that it is pretty mindless. The Batman with higher lethality comparison is fairly accurate I think. It presents obstacles for you to get through, but it's not particularly fun or rewarding.
Actually, I think I'd go as far as saying TW1's combat is closer to resembling DS's (though it's been a while since I played Witcher). From what I remember, you have to do a bit more thinking and timing during fights, and it's slower paced, rather than the fast paced button mashy combat of TW2.
I don't think DS and TW2's combat is very comparable. And the games themselves have little in common. TW2 is a more story driven, linear experience. Where DS1 is slightly more open world, not focused on story much at all (aside from some background lore), and has very different mechanics when it comes to things like dying and progression.
