Support NeoGAF

[Cheddahz]

I'm tired as poop, went to my first NFL game today and saw my team play horribly, and Felix Lighter sends me a nice gift

 

[zkylon]

Ugh I'm hesitating too much over pressing the buy button on binary domain. I think that's my instincts telling me it's not a very good game and I should wait for it to be $5. I'll probably save the money for a sensible Spec Ops deal.

If you have some time, watch Giant Bomb's QL (http://www.giantbomb.com/quick-look-binary-domain/17-5793/) and if you find enjoyment on Big Bo's accidental humor and the last minutes of the video (the part with the giant robot), then it's for you.

But a hunch tells me you won't like it, based on my impression of you from your posts.

I'm just going to say that everyone should buy super hexagon. And that's all.

 

[dreamfall]

Should i get Dead Island ($5.99) or LA Noire ($7.49)? Don't care about the price difference.

Well, they couldn't be more different! What do you want to experience? Zombie co-op survival on an island can be brutally fun. Some of the melee combat is really satisfying, but I've got some qualms with the game being pretty buggy. Quests glitching, shoddy hit detection at times, and some strange character progression. But you can get lost in the environment for hours- trying to level, trying to survive and just enjoying some of the creepiness of it all. The co-op is truly fun.

GAF dislikes L.A. Noire a lot. You've got to love the slow burn. Some of the investigation cues seem a bit simple, but the interaction with objects in each case is different and felt novel. It's feels like a real shoddy effort by Team Bondi- you can see exactly where Rockstar added side missions (involving more action side missions, that do disrupt the pace). The game mechanics are an uneven mix too- there's arcade driving controls, simple cover/shooting dynamics and a really funny investigation procedure. The "doubt" selections don't make much sense- they're accusatory and inflammatory, but usually hilarious. The story doesn't add up in the end at all.

But god damn, if I didn't love it for all it's perculiar misgivings. The backdrop is so perfectly constructed, and some of the cases really feel like thrilling experiences. The face tech is super impressive (if a bit waxy) but its refreshing because the game just feels so different. It's an adventure game, housed in an amazing city. It's more restrictive than it seems- but after finishing the game, I spent so much time just free roaming and looking for film reels. But that's precisely what I love in videogames- walking about, and admiring the city design. The PC port takes much tweaking to enjoy- it's capped at 30FPS and it's got some visual issues.

It's not for everyone. Both games are severely flawed. But they offer unique experiences- whether sprawling, open environment co-op survival or an interesting adventure game with great ambiance.

Too many words!

Can someone tell me if this is still 2.50 GBP?

www.greenmangaming.com/s/gb/en/pc/games/simulation/il-2-sturmovik-cliffs-of-dover/

And if so, would anyone be willing to buy it and have me exchange them the funds through Paypal? (if that's allowed here, that is)

I am not seeing a price or any option to buy it now. I would have gone for this too if I had.

About how long is an episode of The Walking Dead? I'm just curious, this doesn't affect my decision on wanting it.

A couple hours a piece.

 

[Rickenslacker]

I can second this.

 

[feel]

Somebody un-sell me on The Walking Dead, I know it's supposed to be amazing and exactly my genre and that it's so cheap but I won't be playing it for at least a few months. I need help >_>

 

[Derrick01]

It's a pretty good TPS with a cast that isn't the usual macho stereotypes. I wasn't really into it in the beginning, the first mission is kind of bland. After that it becomes quite enjoyable.

The story, while not entirely capitalized on, is a lot better than what you'd expect from the genre. Overall, a nice package.

You're talking about saving $1.24 here

But that $1.24 could get me....something probably!

I'm going to wait and see what Steam does because I already have bioshock 1 and 2. Spec Ops is $15 right now on Steam without being a daily or flash deal so I think it could at least get to $7.50.

 

[Derrick01]

edit: DP, sorry.

I have it on my wishlist, but also wouldn't pay anymore than $5 for it. Looks like a potentially fun shooter, but definitely a quick beat & delete.

I'm also holding off on TWD. $7.50's my sweet spot for that.

 

[Watevaman]

Yeah a lot of places don't seem to have it for US customers (GetGames being one of them), but it's ~11 USD on the UK Steam store if you know someone who can gift it to you. That's what I did, as I feel it won't get much cheaper as that 2.50 GBP deal was only for a day it seems.

 

[graywolf323]

The Walking Dead and Chivalry look fun and worth the money, but I only have $20 in my account at the moment and just found out that I'm having to drive to someone's house for dinner on Christmas, so I need to save my money for gas

I know what you mean man, I'm having to pass on Chivalry due to similar financial constraints

 

[hlhbk]

PC savegames are fucked, it's never getting patched, and its basically a series of quicktime events strung around a choose your own adventure novel, without any actual gameplay to it.

Too hard an unsell?

And its the best game of the year.

 

[RSLAEV]

Didn't expect Binary Domain to go so cheap. Bought.

Now just waiting for Driver San Francisco to go on Flash sale...

 

[Big Papa Husker]

Is the PC version of Binary Domain a big upgrade over the 360 version? I got the 360 one on clearance for $5 a few months ago, but haven't played it yet. It worth it to buy the PC version?

 

[dreamfall]

Check your PM! And play it- there isn't much enjoyment in it, but it's worth experiencing!

 

[Zimbardo]

Dead Island all day, everyday. that game is actually really good ...especially with some friends.

LA Noire will likely bore you to tears.

 

[Sarquiss_]

Anyone want to trade my copy of Fallout New Vegas Ultimate And Elder Scrolls Oblivion for Binary Domain or FTL?

 

[Leon Belmont]

I hope to see Sonic Adventure 2 on Flash Sale


SSFIVAE is really tempting...

 

[Derrick01]

Check your PM! And play it- there isn't much enjoyment in it, but it's worth experiencing!

Thanks a lot! I'll play it as soon as it's done downloading.

 

[Fantasmo]

Wow, Killing Floor looks SO fun but I only play comfy couch mode, I don't touch a keyboard and mouse anymore. Shame it doesn't support controllers

 

[SteveWinwood]

Thanks a lot! I'll play it as soon as it's done downloading.

You'll hate it though.

 

[Codeblue]

You'll hate it though.

He'd also probably hate Binary Domain, so he's going to be angry either way.

 

[Miker]

It runs flawless if you have an nvidia card, and it has perfect controller support, as well as FOV options.

 

[Derrick01]

You'll hate it though.

I can't guarantee I won't lol. I know what to expect though, it's pretty much an average shooter. The story is apparently what makes it special.

 

[Gibbo]

any chance that skyrim will be lower than $20?

 

[bigace33]

Bioshock 2...who wants it?

 

[Zimbardo]

any chance that skyrim will be lower than $20?

i'm thinking that it'll probably be $29.99 on Steam when it hits it's daily deal.

 

[brandonh83]

Bioshock 2...who wants it?

Oh man I wish that didn't have a "2" after the "Bioshock"

Great game though. Whoever gets it free from you is lucky. Already have it myself.

 

[Datwheezy]

Bioshock 2...who wants it?

I'll take it!. Been meaning to check out Minerva's Den, as I've heard nothing but good things about it. Thought about picking up the Amazon bundle, but already played through 1 on x360

 

[QuantumBro]

Not on Steam.

lol Kept 1 and Spec Ops for myself. X^P

Done, check your inbox.

 

[Edgeward]

Haven't grabbed a single daily. Hoping tomorrow changes that. Gimme a sale on nba2k13!

 

[Spruchy]

http://steamcommunity.com/id/Spruchy

[Datwheezy]

It will be $15 on Amazon on the 25th, steam redeemable

 

[dreamfall]

It will be $15 on Amazon on the 25th or 26th (cant remember which day). Steam code.

That's going to be a beautiful day. Finally!

 

[legacyzero]

Tripwire needs to stop playin around and give the world Killing Floor 2.

 

[Edgeward]

I know. But I already got money in my steam wallet. Just hoping I can pay it off using that.

 

[SteveWinwood]

Too busy making the RO2 no one plays.

 

[Scythian]

I'm considering the Pint Sized Paradox Package over at Amazon, I have Crusader Kings 2, is it worth it? How are Majesty and Warlock?

 

[legacyzero]

Too busy making the RO2 no one plays.

Heeeeeeeeey I play RO2

 

[Baconsaurus Rex]

So I just bought that Spec Ops+Bioshock pack by using a fake billing address (I'm not from the US). Has Amazon ever acted on this?

 

[cicero]

Wow, Killing Floor looks SO fun but I only play comfy couch mode, I don't touch a keyboard and mouse anymore. Shame it doesn't support controllers

You can't really be serious... There is no way you could even play it with a controller competently, hence the lack of controller support.

Not that I know of.

Nope, Amazon Tony even gave his blessing to do it.

Nah, you should be fine. GAF does it all the time.
