Hell Kitty

Shannara

I enjoyed it more than I expected, though I have no desire to play beyond the demo. It was better than the Space Marine demo at least, but then not playing a game at all would have been better than playing the Space Marine demo.

I was on the PS3, and I don't remember there being much in the way of loading upon entering buildings. Playing with the game installed on the 360 load times are pretty good. Super long load times were apparently only an issue on the PC version and that issue was fixed in the patch.

That's a surprise ? Considering most places I hang out online have people complaining about the dumbing down of games, yeah. It's like discovering that the people who laughed at those who couldn't find Caius Cosades are themselves the players who couldn't find Caius Cosades. Of course this is the same crowd that whines when you take save anywhere away from them. If there's one thing you can rely on gamers for, it's inconsistency. I think the endings are vague enough that there isn't a need to pick a canon ending.

I don't know what "running yourself a wolf" means but I much prefer my hud without them, even if I did get lost in Heng Sha a couple of times. There are also a lot of people who prefer the highlighting on, saying how difficult it can be to find things amongst the clutter. Personally I like using my own two eyeballs to find stuff, but maybe that's the Thief fan in me.

One thing that surprises me about most of the screenshots people are uploading is how many seem to keep the obnoxious quest markers switched on.

I'm confused about his listing of The Sims. The Sims series has always featured both paid and free stuff, most of it user created. Hell, Sims modders were doing buyable downloads before it was even known as DLC. All up, that's a pretty crappy list.

Same. The grenade launcher made it a very easy fight. I carried that thing around just for him.

Not true. The boss fight against the sniper in Metal Gear Solid 3 is the greatest thing in the history of the world.

Larger hubs? AP didn't have hubs at all, just a home base.

Not really. I was playing around with some of the conversations, and in the one with Heh, I was pretty sure that decision was the wrong one, but I figured I do it the first time around. Non-lethal is silent, but the enemy can be revived. Lethal is noisy, but the takedown is permanent. That's balanced to me, before taking XP into account at least. That depends on how you play. I was mostly lethal and did most of my killing with a silenced pistol and enemies rarely heard my victims. I did that section twice and thought I would never, ever be able to save her, then the third time around I just used my silenced sniper rifle from the starting position before taking about the bot with a single emp and it was a lot easier. What makes you think that? I was disappointed that the endings where just Jensen voice-overs, but I figure that perhaps they want to use him for future games and don't what want to have to account for a whole bunch of variations. Also,

So did I. I got experience for those kills though, so I guess you can't do that and still claim to be a pacifist. Anyway, I started killin' dudes pretty early on, some people just gotta die. .

I tried the Space Marine demo. Tedious. Also the Bodycount demo. The environment was very destructible. I've forgotten everything else about it. Back to DX:HR.

Is that the fan artist turned pro? Anyway, I'm with Lexx:

I pick them up and sell them. Something that just occurred to me, the in-game advertising doesn't seem to be switched on.

I got a pop-up telling me about the bonus stuff being in my game at the beginning if the Sarif mission, so if you haven't seen that in your game then you're out of luck.

No you don't. The first energy pip regenerates. You avoid this scenario by waiting. Are you trying to do a double takedown? I don't have that aug, but single takedowns only use one energy pip, and you always have one.

She probably also has really pointy knees.

I restarted an put all my points into hacking instead of a bunch of stuff I didn't end up needing yet. After spending so much time in the Detroit hub, I look forward to seeing what EM do with Thief.

Man, I hate it when devs put out patches to reduce load times.

It's not that a console can't handle party-based gameplay, it's that party-based gameplay in real time with a controller is tedious. Make that baby turn-based though and you're good to go.

I'm glad I'm not working tomorrow, it'll be a 3 day deusexathon. Still at the Sarif plant, I just used cardboard boxes to block a turrets view. I'm a god damn super genius. I suppose if I had the strength aug I could just pick it up and have it face the wall. Though I'm playing on hard, I tried the game with the highlighting on and though it was horrible. Highlighting what you can interact with just makes all the stuff you can't stand out more. Much nicer without it. So far the only thing that has bugged me is that dropping a crate makes a rather loud noise, but no one seems to hear it.

Without the capitalization it was a poor copy of the original thread. RANDOM VIDEO GAME NEWS in name only.
