I was playing D3 a few weeks ago and randomly ran across the secret cow level. I'd never seen it before. I don't remember if this is how I managed to do it or not, but interesting nonetheless.

Looks good! Looking forward to playing through the vanilla Bethesda experience before re-playing again next year all modded out and improved.

Only complaint is the usual Bethesda character model/animation issues. It doesn't really bother me because it's been the case for every last one of their games, and it doesn't really affect the experience much, but it's annoying that they still can't seem to get things right with NPC animations and design.

NOOOOOOooooo!!

This is terrible news. I use my Macbook for side projects and other work when I'm out and about, as a way of staying away from games on my desktop at home. It's going to take a lot of will power to not install this on my laptop...

Terraria, how dare you endanger my productivity like this.

I'm just curious to hear about estimates on when the game will be finished. It sounds to me like it's an Early Access Game that they'll just keep updating continuously. I really genuinely can't wait to play Starbound, it looks awesome, but my time is limited and I'm quite excited to play the final product. I'm not saying I want them to rush it - I just haven't read anything from them that made it seem like they were shooting to leave Early Access and actually have a finished game any time soon.

HAH, sorry, but I fucking called it on the button layout when they first showed a picture of it

I forgive you.

Instapurchase for me on my iPad. I'll pass on PC though. I like having some good mobile games to play with when I'm out and about or trying to waste time and not do work at coffee shops and such. Deus Ex: The Fall was great on iPad, favorite iPad game to date, so yeah, I'll trust them with this...

What would be really cool is if they managed to implement this in the original Bioshock Infinite. No way that would happen, would require a lot of re-working, but at least a stealthier-options-approach would be cool to have.

I can't wait to play Burial at Sea Episode Two though, especially in 1998 mode. Love me some stealth!

Great news. I personally played it on my iPad Air and absolutely loved it. Easily my favorite "large" iOS game I've ever played. Yes, it's certainly more limited in the mobile form that it was designed for, but I was shocked by the quality of the experience. What it's actually able to do was kind of astounding. Obviously, nothing compared to Human Revolution or the freedom/scale of other Deus Ex titles.

My only concern with this release is that PC users will rebel when they start playing and it actually hits them that it was originally designed for mobile. I think it WILL still be okay on PC, but I'm concerned that all the fans who yelled about wanting it on PC are going to regret it, unless they lower their expectations. This isn't a new PC Deus Ex game. It's a mobile game that's smaller in scope, with lower quality graphics, somewhat less freedom, and more simplified controls/mechanics overall. And it kicks ass on mobile.

At least people without iOS/Android devices, or people who just can't stand touch controls, will get to experience a game in the universe they love. But I seriously hope they don't judge it against the other DX titles in the same way.

Just logged back in for the first time in a few years. Appears to be still up and running strong! Well, not compared to the past, but still. Fun place.

Don't people who want to game on a mac just dual boot with windows?

Windows requires a minimum of 30gb partitioned, not including whatever other programs you want to install. Most MacBooks (which is Apple's most sold computer type) top out at 250gb of HD space. If you want to dual boot using your macbook to play PC games, you should probably partition about 100gb, leaving only 150gb for the mac. We all know 150gb isn't a whole lot.

I literally just this week gave up and partitioned 100gb for Windows7 and PC games on my 500gb Macbook Pro. 500gb gives me a bit more freedom to do it, but I do so much video editing in OSX that I really need as much space as possible. As a PC gamer who only has a mac at the moment (for reasons not worth explaining here), I'm joyous any time a major game comes out on OSX.

I'm really glad to see Far Cry 3 up there for the second week in a row (or more? i forgot when it came out). I haven't played it yet just due to lack of time and other games, but it's good to know that the Single Player experience is still SELLING.

Really now, Parallels or Bootcamp are just so much better.

Time and time again OpenGL versions of these games always run drastically slower then being booted into Windows on the same computer

True, but I have a mac and I don't like to give my Windows partition any more than 70gb or so, which allows for few games. The more intensive games I'll install on the Bootcamp partition, but as long as they run fine on OSX, I'd rather install them there.

(fyi, my primary gaming comp is a desktop PC... don't want you to think I'm dumb enough to only use a mac for this stuff!)

I agree with you about most of the stuff you dislike in GTAIV.. but as someone who regularly does double back-flips across the waters of GTAIV's islands (and dies sometimes in the process), I have to say you have it wrong about the losing of your weapons after death. Only if you get busted by the police does your carried arsenal become impounded..

It would have been nice to have a mechanic where you could stage a heist on the police lockup to get your impounded stuff back though.. or possibly a gun cabinet in one of your properties to store back-up weapons/ammo in case you get arrested.

Whoops, been a few years since playing it so I'm sure you're right. Good catch.

Heist/Gun-Cabinet ideas are interesting, but I think I'd still prefer the simplicity of the previous titles. Complete missions, tasks, or challenges, and you're REWARDED with weapons that spawn at your base. I guess I also just kind of missed that lack of reward in GTAIV. Money didn't cut it =P

Of those saying "more like San Anddrasa", what did you think of GTA:IV EFLC - Ballard of Gay Tony?

When I say "More like San Andreas," I'm not referring to how the plot based missions work. I'm referring to the crazy freedom and other features it had: the hovering/rotating rocket launcher that I could get to always spawn outside the casino I owned (or ANY weapons I could get at my houses for free, none of this pay $$ every time crap), the lack of consequences (or at least smaller consequences) for setting up a traffic jam and destroying every car in site, the fact that I never got royally pissed off when I was arrested or died in San Andreas so I felt like I had the freedom to drive a motorcycle off the top of a mountain just to see the tricks and stuff I could do.

The WORLD of GTAIV (and consequently, Ballad of Gay Tony) is what was wrong. Sure, it was gorgeous and well mapped out. It felt like a living and breathing city. But it wasn't fun to live in. I felt like I had to get dozens of hours into the game before it was worth it to pull a crazy stunt simply because of the cost of death: losing all my weapons and ammo and having to pay a lot of money to buy it all again. There weren't crazy events/challenges that I could just run into in GTAIV. It just felt real to the point of not being fun after a while.

Of course, Saints Row 3 went the COMPLETE opposite direction, but in my mind it sacrificed a bit too much. Yeah, there weren't any consequences and I could do absolutely anything, but it stopped even feeling special and interesting after a while, unlike San Andreas where I still had to put in a little bit of work to find a flying vehicle or that perfect bike to do the stunt I wanted.

Will it take itself as seriously as GTAIV? If so, I want nothing to do with it. GTA3, Vice City, and San Andreas were all joyous games because of how ridiculous you could be. GTAIV neutered that. I'm hoping GTAV brings back some of the arcadyness and drops the gritty realism that made GTAIV fall off my radar weeks after buying it.

If they can keep the realism / crazy slider right around where San Andreas was I will be very happy. I wouldn't want it to slide any closer to Saints Row though. That's too far.

Agree. I for one really enjoyed Saints Row 3 (not the others), but GREATLY preferred the inbetween that San Andreas struck.

Did the install, it automatically installed the new nvidia drivers... and the second I click the icon it flashes to a black screen, back again, and then boots me back to windows.

W.T.F.
