    If you're going to judge it on the horror, then you can't really view FEAR 1 any better either. It's all jump scares and barely any danger from the scary parts. I mean, FEAR 1 is a game that made a point of announcing enemies before you can even see them so that you could then ambush them. And the only time the ghosts could ever hurt you, the game went into forced slow mo. It was never a scary franchise, it's an action game with a horror veneer.

    FEAR 2 was great. It just does not live up to its predecessor. It's a hard task given that I consider FEAR 1 the greatest action FPS of all time. FEAR 2 is simply really good by comparison. Still better than 3/4th the stuff that comes out of the genre.
  3. For the Emperor! Let's clean up this filth, brothers. Charge on in and purge the heretics. Go on, charge. I'm right behind you. Don't worry, I have your back. Hydra Dominatus
  4. I'd love to try it, but I have a backlog upwards of 50 single player games. Does it have at least a decent plot for comic books?
  5. Great Cannon is awesome. But it's best to spawn 4 orbs and hit away. :D I like Magick Archer even more. And yes, a sequel with some improvements everywhere would be awesome. Make sure to get that spinning melee attack. I can't remember if you earn it as a fighter or what. It turns Great Cannon into the framerate destroyer.
  6. I prefer the uncertain Chris Avellone. Still, that's pretty freaking awesome. Maybe I'll finally make time to play it.
  7. I've been binging on Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - Dual Destinies. 9 hours of play and I'm positive I'm like a third of the way through it. I forgot how long they could be. And to help inaugurate my 3DS purchase, I noticed Target was having a sale, so I grabbed Fire Emblem: Awakening and Pokemon X. Hopefully I'll do better than the last two titles of those franchises I bought. I have a used copy of Fire Emblem for GBA I've never played and a copy of Pokemon Diamond I didn't get past picking a starter for.
  8. New taco place in the neighborhood. It's called Fuzzy Taco. I had a shredded beef taco, a spicy pork taco, and a crawfish taco. They use feta cheese, which is powerful enough that I could not tell the difference between the three tacos. Worth eating there, but no point trying anything but the cheapest taco.
  9. I just bought a Nintendo 3DS and Ace Attorney: Dual Destinies. So that's what I'm playing now.

    I would like Journey of a Roach.
  11. I just found out they're retiring hit. As an affliction lock, I'm so happy.
  12. Warlords of Draenor officially announced. http://us.battle.net/wow/warlords-of-draenor/ World of Warcraft is getting a time travel expansion. I try to be optimistic about WoW, but I fear this being terrible. Time travel rarely works out well when it's not the basis of a franchise. I see people meeting Ner'zhul, being terribly unimpressed, then fighting him in a 5-man where he runs away like a Saturday morning cartoon villain.
  13. Playing both Memoria and Goodbye Deponia this year, loving them both, has turned me into a minor Daedalic fanboy. I want this to be great, but am unwilling to follow an episodic release schedule of their early release.
  14. I'd love to get Blackguards, but I've kind of gotten tired of "episodic." I want to play the entire game in short order. I have too much going on, other games, work, my writing, to keep track of stuff over an episodic schedule.
  15. Moving this over to Computer and Console. It's perhaps a little too on topic for off topic. I know there's already some discussion in The Kickstarter Thread. http://forums.obsidian.net/topic/63674-the-kickstarter-thread/page-26
  16. 9 of 9 I accomplished this miracle feat through my use of the ancient human art of "cheating."
  17. You might want to be aware that Memoria is a sequel to Chains of Satinav. Chains of Satinav was good, but not great. I'd pretty much forgotten how it ended by the time I started Memoria and I only played Chains less than a year ago.
  18. I'm skeptical. Talent is a perishable good and they don't have much to show from the past decade. Sounds like they might have one guy who worked on League of Legends on the team. But by the same token, that kind of skepticism is against inXile and I'm hopeful. Or Harebrained Schemes and I think they did well. And inXile increased their talent pool from when they first pitched.
  19. That is on my wishlist... It's my 2013 game of the year pick so far. If you're into adventure games, I can't recommend it enough.

    I hope you gave Fthreear to someone you hate.
  21. The phone is nothing but a tool of evil. Nobody understands me over it. Me: "Hello, this is (my name)." Guy on phone: "Oh hey (my boss's name), I've been to get ahold of you." No. No. No. Me: "Hey, we need someone to do 1 and 2 job in Reno, NV." Guy on phone: "Yeah, we can do that." 2 days later Guy on phone: "Whoah whoah whoah, we don't do 2. Nobody told me about 2!" Me: "Hey, we need someone to do 1 and 2 job in Reno, NV." Guy on phone: "Yeah, we can do that." 1 day later Guy on phone: "So here I am in Las Vegas, what's going on? What do you mean Reno? I can't do Reno!"
  22. Assassin's Creed III allows you to jump through the branches of trees, on top of the rooftop hopping. Yeah, but those branches suuuuuck. And all the rooftops are pretty short.
