I made a Mechromancer today

THAT MAGAZINE HAS BECOME ONE WITH HER ARM

Does look pretty cool. If only I had preordered.

[schrodingersgoldfish]

I got the last two Humble Indie Bundles and they've kept me in games for a while to come.

Space Pirates And Zombies in particular has had me flying in circles shooting space ships for hours.

Been addicted to Persona 3. Got it on my Vita since they're coming out with Persona 4 Golden next month. How is it that I'd never played this before? I'm 40 floors up Tartarus and I'm convinced it's one of the best rpg's I've ever played.

holy fuck Dishonored is so good

[Andrew]

Haven't played much Dishonored recently been stuck on BL2. Did some quest for some Mob Boss and I'm going to the Golden Cat.


Was being Obsessive Cumplusive about being non lethal and reloading the game over minor things, just going to go balls out now.

[cloudscapes]

I'm going a little less lethal than middle-of-the-road I think. sneak around chocking people unconscious unless I think they're colossal douches (or they're the target) then they get the knife.

next playthrough I'll go all-out.

then after that, do the entire thing without killing anyone

[coldbrightsunlight]

I'm doing my first run moderately stealthy but murdering a lot, then next time I'm going no kills no alerts, the big one.

This game is so siiiick.

[futuresailors]

BRO GET BLOODTHIRSTY IF YOU'RE KILLING PEOPLE.

[coldbrightsunlight]

Hahaha yeah, I generally screw up stealth and resort to shooting some bitches a few times per level anyway.

[MaxMaps]

holy fuck Dishonored is so good

really, my reaction is exactly the opposite.

[coldbrightsunlight]

What don't you like about it? My only real problems are that it'd be better if everyone had english accents, it crashes sometimes when I enter a new area, and the climbing stuff can be a little wonky about when it feels like working, but not often.

[futuresailors]

It did sort of feel unfinished. The gameplay and details were super fun (throwing severed heads as a distraction wooooo), and I'm totally going to play through like 6 more times, but a lot of the stuff they built up in the pre-release press, and even in the game was seriously lacking. A Victorian inspired world where everything runs off whale oil? Sounds cool. Actual role it plays in the game: the power plugs are bright blue and explode. Why wouldn't you incorporate one of those huge ass whaling ships that you talked about (again in the press and in the books in the game) in a level? Those "tallboys" that looked so badass in the concept art? You only come across like three times and you can't even suit up in one. Et cetera.

[coldbrightsunlight]

Yeah, they definitely could have put in more world-building stuff like the whale thing. I have to admit that I can't really comment on anything they hyped because I completely ignored it and then just bought the game because it was made by some of the old Deus Ex dudes and sounded kind of like Deus Ex, which is just good. And it IS like Deus Ex so I'm kinda happy with it.

Few more levels would have been nice, I've loved all the ones that are there, I've got to the last one now and it seems awesome so far, but it hasn't been the longest game. Would have liked more of a 'city hub' where there's lots of shit to do outside 'missions' like, you guessed it, Deus Ex.

Deus Ex was basically the best game ever.

Deus Ex.

[futuresailors]

Yep, basically.
