Tale

She probably also has really pointy knees. She is a true travesty of the human form.

That is the absolute definition of raping an established game setting. I think I lost few brain cells just watching that demo. Agreed. Incidentally, it's just occurred to me that we've had the 'staring over the top of a gun' interface paradigm for as long as I've been PC gaming. That is a looooong ****ing time. There must surely be other, better, paradigms. Dark Messiah mixed it up. I think he's more wanting to stare under the bottom of the gun. Unless I misunderstand him.

The one downside to the resource mechanic is that it feels penalizing to have more than one battery. This devalues all battery upgrades except faster regen, as a result. I know I'm not the only one, but I've not had more than a single battery charged since the first enemy in the first mission. Takedowns become too expensive when they get rid of a limited resource. Same for punch-through-walls. And then once that resource becomes unlimited, you're not really wanting to go back. I might eat an energy bar later if I really really need to use cloak for more than 4 seconds. But that's the only reason I can see for it. I'm thinking that all bars need to recharge, even if depleted. Just slowly. That way there's some actual value there for more regular use.

I hate you. Seriously, I really hope I get into some form of beta for the game, even if it's just a stress test. Well, last night I . It is . You should . This seems to have been a large one. I know two or three other guys who got in this round.

You don't get a penalty, but you don't get the merciful soul bonus. And takedowns get you an expedient bonus. Stun gun is pretty quiet for me.

The difficulty is in the approach. It's not like it's hard to shoot a guy in the head from across the room with a silenced pistol or stun gun. Why should it be so much more difficult to take them down once you've snuck across the room to him?

Good luck with that. It didn't work for me.

That's how I've been running around. I'm going to feel so slow tonight.

I draw a pretty significant line between the beginning being a little easier and "highly game breaking." I accept and agree that it makes the game a little easier in the beginning. Never disputed that. I won't even quibble if you disagree with how much easier. But to say it's game breaking seems hyperbolic.

Because you can only wear one armor at a time. Having the tribal armor and the reinforced vault suit isn't exactly going to be any better than one or the other.

That doesn't really sound gamebreaking, since they don't exactly stack. And none of them are useful for late game. And ammo and repairs for some can start off pretty sparse. I say this having used one of the armors and the 10mm pistol myself. The 10mm was so hard to find stuff for, I kept it for the odd radscorp that I couldn't avoid. And the armor gets traded for reinforced or regular leather on the way Nipton.

The weapon one looks interesting. Unique Anti-Materiel, Nuka-Cola sign.

Not playing it, but might be this weekend. I was apparently chosen for The Old Republic beta testing. It was in my spam folder. And that's pretty much all the NDA will allow me to say about it.

Oh, this'll be fun. Is this going to be the moment that publishers realize they don't need Gamestop at all for new sales? Or will Square Enix cave because it turns out that they actually do? Anyway, I only just left Detroit for the next off-site mission. At 15 hours in! But that's counting my three replays of the first mission.

Cutscenes is really the only way to do two at once.

My associates think well of the Space Marine demo. Almost pre-ordered it on their recommendations alone. But I'll try to tear myself away from Metal Gear Solid 5: Bionic Snake to try it out.

End of old thread So how about that Ghaddafi, eh?

Steam Guard just monitors what computers have logged in. VAC is the anti-cheat. Nobody outside of Valve actually knows how VAC works.

To further torment our British and other European fellows, it's spoiler time!

Spent all night playing Metal Gear Solid 5. And now I'm at work with bloodshot eyes drifting off at my desk. Have the same problem I always have with stealth games. I spend too much time savescumming, not enough time progressing. 5-6 hours and I beat one level. And I think I'll be replaying that whenever I next meet the criteria of being conscious and at home.
