They've been saying this same shit since Destiny 1. "We will do better!" The unbelievable part is that anyone still takes them seriously at all.

I had over 2500 hours in D1. I had maybe 60 in D2. Game is garbage.

I got diagnosed with ADHD at age 48. Getting on medication has been life changing.

If are having problems with focus, memory, insomnia, overactive thoughts, etc, get yourself evaluated. I wish I had been able to get diagnosed decades ago.

Meh, I'd rather spend that $3.99 on Black Mesa - which is currently on sale at the same price.

I paid $20 for that and it was worth every penny. What they did with Xen was incredible.

Countdown to Extinction, you mean, but yeah, I'd agree Symphony is their best song.
But Megadeth always felt cheap or cheesy to me. Everything about them felt like Dollar Store Metallica. They lacked the epic feel of early Metallica. Unlike you, I stop listening to Metallica at And Justice, so I know I'm kind of coming across super snobby. The Black Album has a decent song or three, but nothing killer, and nothing after that works for my ears.

Indeed, got my wires crossed on that one, thanks.

I don't see the change in style over time as a negative for either band. It just means that both made something that people like me can enjoy, and that people like you can enjoy! Just doesn't happen to be the same albums.

their best work was on their first few albums

I think Symphony of Destruction and Cryptic Writings are their best albums. Skin 'O My Teeth scratches an itch I never knew I had until I heard it; that skipping, scratching guitar riff in the middle of the song gets me every time. And I find Cryptic Writings to just be really well put together. It has a great flow to it.

But I'm also that guy who thinks Metallica got better after their first couple albums, so I guess I feel similar about Megadeth. I guess I'm not quite as much into the speed/thrash type of stuff as most of their fans.

I'm sorry but how does Handy Smurf know SmurfoMix will even work without doing any testing? The Green Stone is a critical component that he NEVER HAD during the development of said SmurfoMix. He didn't invent anything! This is simply a resource grab from a territorial rival.

Literally unplayable.

If you liked System Shock 2 you will probably like this game. The marketing was abysmal, such that I had no idea it was that kind of game when it first came out. I got it free on Epic a while back and had an absolute blast with it.

I got completely absorbed by this game back in the fall/winter of 2006. I remember it used to almost melt my poor laptop because it would just destroy the CPU. It will be quite a trip to come back to it and see how much has changed, graphics notwithstanding.

Friends and I have been having an absolute blast in DMZ. It has provided some crazy, epic gaming moments. It's still rough around the edges and has some really irritating glitches, like getting kicked / disconnected for no reason and losing your hard earned gear, but it's just too much fun and we keep coming back. Hope they can iron out the wrinkles because this game mode has some secret sauce.

Also can't beat the price (free).

I would have bought Legendary Edition but for the lack of multiplayer. I am one of those guys that put a few hundred hours into it back in the day and even came back to it a couple times over the years. It is a blast.

There's very little infrastructure needed by them, because it was always a peer to peer game except for the initial matchmaking. One of the four people in the game becomes host once the game starts. I even wrote a script back in the day to do a packet capture and figure out which person was host, then do a geo-lookup on their IP, so that I didn't get stuck playing on hosts from Russia or something.

I hope they bring it back.

I had a M2 .50 cal machine gun blow up in my face on a firing range in the Army doing qualification training. It was mounted on a sandbagged tripod, so I was prone on the ground feeding it ammo while another guy fired. The sergeant who set up the firing position had not set the headspace and timing correctly and the rounds were going off without being fully seated in the breach. Eventually one blew the entire top of the MG apart and me and the gunner were sprayed in the face with hot gunpowder and brass shrapnel.

It's a miracle neither of us were seriously injured. I still have a shell casing from it, with the indentation from the prefiring clearly visible, to remind me how close it was that day.

This patch has broken the game in so many hilarious ways. Can't play with friends anymore as it separates us as soon as we start matchmaking. FPS has dropped by 15-20% across the board. Graphical glitches are everywhere - one friend has invisible guns when he plays, another friend has only half the map load and people in the other half can be seen and shot (through walls) by him. Hit registration has, amazingly, gotten even worse than it was. And online forums are full of comedy gold showing other bugs that my friends and I haven't directly experienced yet, such as invincibility or full invisibility in the final circles, dying to gas in the Gulag, winning the game in the gulag after everyone still in the map dies to gas, etc.

I have never seen such a horrible patch to an existing game in my 35+ years of gaming. It's so bad it's funny.

I bought it on PC. The matchmaking leaves a lot to be desired but the game is certainly not empty. It tends to match you with games that only have 1-2 other people in it, but I always abort that and try again. It rarely takes me more than 4-5 minutes to get a game going with 4 people in it.

That said the game isn't breaking any new ground. It's fun and I'll get my money's worth out of it, but L4D it ain't. There's nothing here we haven't seen before, but if you need your fix of shooting swarms of zombies in the face, it hits the spot.

Have to agree with you. Far Cry 1 was very impressive at release but it hasn't held up well. Crysis on the other hand absolutely blew people away and it was FUN. The multiplayer deathmatch gave me a feeling of competition that I felt had been missing since Quake died out. The game was a remarkable accomplishment and earned its place in the gaming hall of fame.

It's a damn shame they never matched that success again.

There have already been two pseudo-real time versions of Space Hulk for PC. One in the 90's and one just a couple years ago. You could pause them but they were definitely not turn based gameplay.

The game's definitely not for you then. It's very much a twitch gamepad game. I shudder to think of playing it with a mouse and keyboard.

Who is preserving which online games? I'm genuinely curious who's doing something with this exemption. I'm just itching for another round of Chromehounds.
