On a side note, anyone try this game is it any good? Should I buy and play through the first one? Definitely buy the first one and play it. And yes, both Metro's are absolutely brilliant games. They are the modern day Half-Life's. Metro LL is absolutely stunning in every way. It is a must play.
But I'd play the first one first. The second is a direct sequel. |

| Here's hoping it has vastly improved controls because the first Sanctum was a fantastic idea totally ruined by clunky, awkward controls. |

If Kreig spouted random Talking Heads lyrics I'd be very inclined to play as him. As is, paying anything over a few dollars for a new character? LOLNO. |

This is just a lame rip-off of Anno 1404 with much less detail, less freedom, and forced micro-transactions if you want to expand.
If anyone thinks this looks interesting, just go buy Anno 1404, which is an absolutely brilliant city builder/economic sim sadly not available on Steam anymore since Ubisoft messed up the patching.
I say this about Anno 1404 after putting 300 hours into it and making an Unofficial Patch that fixes about 10,000 things. |

Wow, Red Dead Redemption a top contributor even now almost exactly 3 years from release. I admit I bought a Playstation 3 last December to play Red Dead (and a few other titles like Ni no Kuni). Red Dead has some of the greatest acting, writing, and voice work ever, IMO.
Likewise, I've got 260 hours into BL2, so I've got to give respect to Gearbox for at least making one fantastic game (even though I really dislike Gearbox on the whole for obvious reasons). Just last week in BL2 I heard several enemies shout out hilarious lines I'd never noticed before, even after 200+ hours, so that's saying something! |

I just played Dead Island for the first time. 26 hours for first playthrough and LOVED it. No other game is like it. Plus modding on the PC totally fixed the wonky controls and inventory issues. With a few tweaks (Dead Island Helper, forced AA, more ammo, stackable items, movement axis tweaks) the game becomes REALLY excellent.
I don't get the hate for Riptide. It is another chance to enjoy over twenty hours of open-world zombie slashing. I pity the people who don't enjoy cutting zombies up with shock katanas. |

I finally wrote up a piece reviewing Gamespot's quite horrible review of Riptide. I think that review is the worst I've ever read on a major gaming site. It is so full of his personal hatred for the game and void of actual information.
I imagine he had to review the game quite rapidly, wasting his whole weekend making him angry, and causing him to not have enough time to properly understand the game mechanics.
Anyway...a cookie to anyone who reads at least three paragraphs of my thoughts.  Might spur some interesting discussion regarding the nature of game reviews. Or maybe I'm just a big, clueless swine. Could go either way. |

Things like the Boston bombings are why there needs to be a Hell. God will give justice to evil people; they won't escape unless they repent, which is unlikely. I'm just glad God offers eternal life freely so that we can be assured that despite horrible tragedies, things will be good in the end.
Btw, things like this are also why I could never be a fatalist or Calvinist...or an evolutionist. Life must have meaning and there must be free will. But this is all my opinion and you are free to disagree. |

It is basically slander. Except that it's being presented as a fictional, hypothetical what-if, not as historical reality... That isn't enough. My point was if you were to take a living figure and create a fictional version of them, you can get sued for defamation. Parody is ok, such as how the Simpsons or South Park do it...
...but to actually use a historical figure's name and represent him entirely opposite of his true nature...the problem is AC isn't going for comedy or absurdism...so just strikes me as disrespectful.
I'm having a hard time coming up with other fictional stories that purposefully represent real life figures entirely opposite of their true nature in a serious manner. Can anyone think of any?

Ha, well UHF is a classic. That scene is brilliant because it is so perfect parody....and obvious comedy. The AC3 DLC actually takes itself seriously...its not like Undead Nightmare DLC for Red Dead or Nightmare in Northpoint DLC in Sleeping Dogs. |

I just really dislike them portraying Washington this way. It is basically slander. I'm ok with alternate history games like saying the Nazis took over the world because the Nazis were trying for this very thing. Or even Lincoln Vampire Hunter because it is a total joke concept.
But to take a real historical figure and misrepresent him so utterly...Washington refused to be King in real life. It just strikes me as crossing a line. You'd get sued if you represented a living figure in this manner...I guess I just don't like people misrepresenting history in such a serious manner. |

Sounds like they're taking some cues from Path of Exile and Torchlight 2. Oh well, steps in the right direction at least. That guy sounds like he really does understand some of the design problems and mistakes made. Agree. My love for D1 & D2 compels me to wish D3 does become great. Although I personally view its story as nothing but a bad dream by Deckard Cain-this makes D3 so much more tolerable and actually funny story-wise. |

This guy has been doing a very solid job at keeping the community in the loop. I wonder if he always felt this way or if he was just told to sit down and shut up during development. I agree that reading his post makes me have ever so slightly more hope that D3 can be great. Just when I get angry at Blizzard and swear I'll never play D3 again, they offer just a tidbit to make me think things might be better.
So either they really care but were (are?) incompetent or they're like abusive spouses who we just keep coming back to...
In the end I think my love for D1 and D2 is what compels me to keep caring about D3...even though Path of Exile is obviously more worthy of my attention. But there's time for both I suppose. |

This just goes to show the immense culture war in America. Did you know the Communists plotted to press the Homosexual agenda in order to destroy the family unit and thereby destroy America? I am NOT KIDDING. If you want to watch a free documentary on it, no matter how you feel, see:
http://vimeo.com/52009124
It is sure to make you really concerned for America, not matter what side you take. Enjoy, comrades! |

He seems sincere even if D3 was incredibly boring and a massive failure regarding loot, re-playability, and story. I had real fun the first playthrough, apart from the idiotic story.
So I think Jay did a good job with the combat system itself, but Inferno mode literally ruined the play experience. In the end, D3 is dead to me. I've tried playing it again, but it is sheer misery. Slow move speed, garbage drops, and a deep sense of pointlessness.
Contrast with D2, which I enjoy replaying every few years. Or even Borderlands 2 which after over a hundred hours is still great fun (despite its loot drops being low as well). |

I usually just alt-tab out to a real browser, except for games that don't take well to alt-tabbing (Skyrim is my main offender).
I HIGHLY recommend you use SBW (http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/4).
Not only does it allow for perfect alt-tabbing, but it actually increases frame rate and causes faster loading times for most people.
Only downside really is it takes 10 seconds by default to go borderless window.
Anyway, about Steam guides in overlay, this should be OPTIONAL. See guides in overlay is VERY annoying, since often they have spoilers in their names! Do not want for games I've barely played. |
