I think this is the first (or second time) I've managed to get a free thingo here. :3:

Also I think this was missed but Velvet Sundown has apparently added Text-To-Speech back into the game! :woop: Plus they've rotated the scenario out for a MURDER MYSTERY.

The first season of Korra is much, much better than the second, and is pretty good up until the last two episodes. Season 3 just finished airing and while not quite as good as the first season, it's pretty great. None of them are as good as TLA, so just tailor your expectations. :(

Basically skip s02 and watch s03.

Season 2 was pretty great towards the end and I enjoyed it more than Season 1. But yeah Season 3 is bonkers good.

Also, is there something about Payday 2 that I'm missing. The game feels like a major step back from the amazing Payday 1. It went from an inspired L4D game with great levels to COD horde mode.

In all fairness, that was their plan from the beginning and they've been pretty open about it. And the game is vastly improved compared to its trainwreck launch.

Can't really complain when it's only $1, either.

I'm totally going to go out and say, I bought Orion: Dino Horde or whatever it was called last on a whim and was pleasantly surprised. It's nothing spectacular and you won't be writing the most glowing reviews about it, but I will say that it is fun, and at $1 is totally worth it. And while I didn't play it at laugh, it's nothing like some people say it is in its current state.

Metro 2033 is one of my favourite games of recent years. It's nice that the engine has been ported to Last Light... but that's about it.

I might dig out my 3d Vision glasses tonight.

It's pretty fun, especially with friends. It probably has a 71 because it was a bit janky at launch.

It's fun if you want some intense co-op zombie shooting with random people. You all either stick together or break the line and die horribly. Just avoid servers with friendly fire.

Carly shook her glass, willing the ice to melt. "You still haven't told me what the mission is."

She leaned forward. "We are going to assassinate the bad men of Hollywood."


Killing Floor was fun for awhile but I didn't find it quite as engaging as ME3's multiplayer, which is what I was hoping it was more like. I think I expected more special abilities and unique kits than guns and generic soldier types. Some people get really into it though.

Glad I gave Alpha Protocol a second chance, the Rome section was pretty cool. I don't know whose bright idea it was making the pistol less accurate than a shotgun from long range. Kind of wish I could patch it so I had 99 accuracy or something. It's really annoying to aim perfectly and have the shot go wide by 10 feet. I've found hand to hand combat to be the most effective so far.

I don't know why there isn't some sort of patch or hack or something to fix all the quibbles with AP... like disabling hacking and tweaking combat. I talked a couple of friends into buying it when it was 2 bucks and both of them quit the instant they got to the hacking tutorial and nothing I can say will convince them to push through it :smith:

This is not a game you should play solo. You can, but you'll just get stomped. With friends though, it's a blast.

This post awakens a nerd anger within me. Unless you are on Hard difficulty, which you absolutely should not ever be doing with Alpha Protocol, then the hacking simply isn't that bad. I play the Hardest difficulty on every game I can, but I won't with Alpha Protocol.

Not again at least.

That's loving dumb. It's eating more system resources than anything else I have running. Each instance of the drat thing is chewing 60-70,000K. Apparently this was some Beta thing that's been rolled to live. Hopefully there's a way to revert or something, because web browsing/video playing has become super laggy because of this.

I should mention that I am not particularly interested in building the coasters. While that is cool, it is not the main appeal. I'm looking mainly for the management aspect, trying to relive the Bullfrog glorly days of Sim Theme Park, only with a game that doesn't look like a butt.

RCT2 is easily the best one for that, and in fact the best one in the series. I don't think it's on Steam but I believe GOG has it.

Nope. Got Steam itself minimized. Got a chat window open to one person, and that's it. Also not using Chrome, since I've seen a lot of posts bring it up in relation to this.

The reason I brought it up is because of a game on Kickstarter, Parkitect. Looks to be trying to revitalize the genre. Something about seeing that food stand with a giant hamburger on it triggered nostalgia for Sim Theme Park and then Theme Hospital. gently caress mobile gaming for ruining those genres for all of us.

No, I remember the hacking being pretty awful, not because the hacking game is hard in itself (I found treating it like a magic eye and unfocusing for finding the words in the gobbledygook worked), it's that the controls are AWFUL.

Specifically the sensitivity between the keyboard cursor and the mouse. I can't recall which one I had problems with but I suspect it was the mouse. The sensitivity in the game was too low.

I eventually got used to it but yeah that hacking game really is bad.

Loved Alpha Protocol, though. :)
