Yeah the warnings thing is cool. My roommate stopped playing online after other people would join his game and mercilessly slaughter him whenever he passed a part.

^^^^ THIS. This pissed me off so much. I once spent like, 25 minutes just running and hiding from this guy who invaded my game. Fucking bullshit :mad:

Yeah I mean it's fun for the veterans but just fucking stupid for the most part.

Tried out Infamous 2 and I really don't like it.
The controls are waaaay too floaty. Nothing feels concrete. Cole tries to latch on to things I don't want him to. The climbing is super awkward.

So yeah. Finally got around to deus ex. :facepalm:

Other than the orange outline around the interactable stuff it's living up to the original so far.

You can turn the orange outlines off! First thing I did.

For me it didn't really live up to the original, but it had a lot of the spirit and it was a good game in its own right, aside from the boss fights.

Yay! Fuck oranges.

I've only done the first two little mission, so there's plenty of time left to be disappointed. :lol:

Don't look at it like a substitute for deus ex would be my advice, because nothing is! It's a fun game with nice gameplay and some cool mechanics, I enjoyed it a lot. I do recommend sinking a couple of upgrades into the typhoon just for taking out bosses though, because I thought the boss fights sucked balls, but you might like them?

Went and picked up Read Dead Redemption. Pretty stoked on it.
Also, downloaded Just Cause 2 from PS+. Loved that game, looking forward to logging some grapple hook/parachute hours.

RDD is such a great game. I just wish the side missions were a bit more varied. Like skyrim as far as quests and customization go, but in the old west.

I get bored with GTA-style games pretty quickly now. But it was very fun lasso-dragging people across rocks and into rattlesnakes. Or starting a gunfight in a bar and getting hit with so many bullets your corpse just flies out the window.

The Deus Ex bundle is on sale on steam right now...$15
GOTY edition of the first game + Invisible War + Human Revolution (and all the DLC).

Human revolution was a blast playing it super stealthy. Just load up on that crazy missile power to oneshot the bosses :lol:

Used to love this game...but I must be spoiled these days; turn based combat just doesn't do it for me anymore. I'm more interested in moving the story along than I am grinding through another back and forth cock bashing. I don't remember it being so tedious

That's insanely cheap! Pity I already have them all. And that's exactly how I played the game, so much fun and no having to deal with the bad boss fights.


^I am completely the opposite, every time I replay the fallout games I still LOVE the turn-based combat, I'm a huge fan of the system and wish more games did it these days. :idk:

so i make it to stage 2 of Lollipop Chainsaw. it's mindless entertainment. but THE FUCKING GAME WON'T LET ME CONTINUE. the controls won't let me use the blaster, and Juliet just kinda spazzes out and Nick dies, game over. I thought it was my controller. but I've tried 3 different controllers and they all do the same thing. I guess that means I'm stuck with Diablo 3
