I'm sure it is, which is why he neglected to mention anything else along with the figure. What's the deal with that, by the way? Is there a free trial or can a bunch of people sign in on the same console or what?

It's been on Origin's free weekend thingie a few times.

I really enjoyed Amnesia. Well, what I played of it anyway.
I made it a little past a part where you're in the flooded basement or something, and you have to jump crate to crate because...well. If you've played it, you know.
That part scared the bejeezus out of me. Afterwards I realized I was breathing heavy and my heart was pounding. I had never had a game scare me like that before.
I stopped not because of the scariness, but because I had taken a leave of absence from it for a while, and had no idea what I was doing or supposed to do once I returned to it. Just got frustrated wandering the same few rooms over and over.
Anyway, I am looking forward to SOMA. Maybe I'll actually get through it.

If successful, follow up will be called "Cal." It will be shorter than Hob, but more prone to ruminating on the meaning of life and insulting gross girls.

Does it include a cardboard box that turns you into a spaceman or dinosaur?

No no. Clones

The Otherland series was awesome. I enjoyed it much more than his Memory series.
As for the game, eh, I dunno.

would love a good in game tutorial as I haven't touched this in over a year

There's one in now. I picked up the game a couple months ago, and it had a full on tutorial with a story.
Like others have said, I started playing 'just to check it out', and played it the entire friggin day. Haven't touched it since though, as I've been waiting for it to be finished. Really good game. Crazy amount of detail, and just so many things you can do.

Does sound interesting really. Maybe I just never got into the meat of the game.

Amazing. I really don't understand how people are going nuts over this. I heard good things about the first one, and had picked it up. I tried to get into it, but I pretty much hated it. Some of the worst voice acting I've heard, and gameplay that felt pointless.
But! It's good that people who've been clamoring for a new one for years are able to get another one. I'll never understand the appeal though.

Happens to me on occasion. Just click the 'new blue' button in customize, and it'll be back to normal. Unless, of course, you go with the retro colors.

Yeah, I'm not too keen on the pc talking, nor that dialog system. Rest of it looks friggin awesome though.
Also bummed that Shelter is iOS only. Looked like an interesting little game.

Apologies if this has already been posted. I just saw it today

Can anyone who bought this and has a vidcard with only 1gb of vram chime in on the performance? I'm waiting for the next revision of maxwell to come out (980gtx ti or whatever they'll call it) before upgrading my super ancient insanely overclocked 460gtx SLI setup (which really still handles everything just fine).

I'm on the fence if i should just wait to grab this and the card at the same time like 6-8 months down the road or just buy GTA5 now. Part of me thinks if i get it now, i might spoil the experience with lower textures.

I've got a pretty sub par system here. I've got a Radeon HD 6850 1gb, and honestly, it runs quite nice. It originally set the resolution to 800*600 for me, but I turned it up to 1366*768. Everything is set to normal/off. Sure, it doesn't look super fancy, but it runs well.
With this game, and the upcoming Witcher 3, I definitely need a new card though. Just trying to figure out the best card for the money. Currently looking at an R9 270x.

I'm getting quite frustrated with GTA Online. It always freezes after each mission. First time it happened, the game wouldn't launch afterwards. Not even single player. Had to restart my computer, then it would work again. Did a mission, freeze. Ugh.

After all the pains I went through to get this working, it is well fucking worth it. Game is unbelievably good. Attention to detail is what astounds me.
How do they even optimize a game like this? Crazy

I can't even get the thing to run. Well, it starts up, and I can go through all the settings and such, but I can't actually play. Start the story mode, and it just sits there loading forever. At one point last night, I let it sit there for over an hour, and it still never loaded.
Trying various things again today, but so far, no luck.

[edit] Also, how do you go about playing online? Do you have to play the story for a bit? I see no option for online.

Try this solution

Went through that, and 2 of the files didn't match. Deleted em, did a repair, launcher redownloaded them. Now, however, I'm getting err_gfx_d3d_init. Trying to figure that one out, but it's looking like a reinstall. Ugh. So damn frustrating.

It's a buy to play now. No more sub, just a one time purchase. I'll probably check this out, as when I played it in the beta, I thought it was interesting. Did NOT want a sub though. But now? I may just snag it. I'll see after the weekend.

Spectral, go for it. That is a really good price. New Order was a fantastic game. Pretty excited for this one.

Nuuvem is selling GTAV for a little under $30. RSC-key only, no Steam.

Tempting, but what about region lock? Anyone every buy from them?

Fantastic! When I first went to play it, I didn't make it far. Wasn't bad, I just wasn't into it. Months later, I decided to try again, and played all the way through. Wasn't amazing, but was a really fun experience. I also played all 3 endings. I'm glad they're doing another one.

is it just me or are these avengers films FUCKING TERRIBLE?!?!

They are. And really? Black Widder and Hawkeye? Who's powers consist of fighting and a bow and arrows? There's easily 100 other Marvel heroes that are 1,000,000 times better. Submariner, Vision, Wonder Man, et al.

Vision is at the end of the trailer. Pretty stoked about his inclusion.

Introducing the new White and Gold Dualshock 4.

Ha!
