I actually like this version:

Played some Ryse on the console that is my pc. It took me a few hours before I figured out that the quick time event colors are actually the button colors of the xbox controller. lolz. Now many things make a lot more sense to me. When I first fiddled with the game I used mouse + keyboard and I couldn't stop but going "what the heck do you want from me?" at the tutorial text popups. The graphics are really stunning. Even on low graphic settings it looks way better than most other games. Now if just the combat would be more fun... IMO the game fails a lot due to tedious and unfun combat. Also the story is stupid and I've got no idea from where the developers took their roman history knowledge (probably all the Hollywood movies). There is so much wrong in this game... It's almost as if they slapped everything into the game that random folks would connect with romans. An emperor with the name Nero, the main character must be a Marius, everyone is running around in Lorica Segmentata armor (of course pimped with modern age style details), ... Meh. This game could be good with some changes here and there. The way it is now, it's just mediocre at best. Graphics simply don't make a game.

I'll doubt it would be console only. A console first, pc version later release would still suck, though. Mass Effect 4 is pretty much the only BioWare game I'd still would play.

You are a: Socialist Multilateralist Humanist Liberal Collectivism score: 67% Authoritarianism score: 0% Internationalism score: 67% Tribalism score: -50% Liberalism score: 33% Is that good or bad? I have no idea.

Never liked Star Wars. And that new sword looks stupid. Star Trek is much better, by the way. :>

Finally finished Alien: Isolation. It is a good game, but the final ending... meh. Wasn't that good. Going for the DLCs now, I'll guess.

Yes, I can understand this. Still, it's too much, imo. If the alien is everywhere, everytime, it looses the scary part. The player is getting used to it way too fast.

I was mainly running through these parts. Also it helps to save up as many pipe bombs as possible for a later scene... Thought I would finish the game this evening, but guess what... nope, it's still going. Had at least 3 encounters that easily could have been final boss fights, but in last minute they stopped being boss fights. I mean, it's still a cool game and I still want more content, but this specific story should be done already. All the tense feelings are getting drawn out of it this way. Oh, and I think the alien is running around waaaay too much. Instead of silently hunting its prey, it is like STOMP STOMP STOMP I AM IN THE VENTS YOU WONT GUESS THIS STOMP STOMP HEY LETS TAKE A FAST LOOK OUT OF THIS VENT OH I BETTER GO BACK STOMP STOMP. It's too often / too fast. And again... I probably wouldn't even have noticed it, if the game would be a tad shorter. Damn.

Agreed. I could really need the ending credits by now. Especially all the android stuff annoys me. They aren't really that much fun and they make me feel like the game is trying to pretend to be a first person shooter now.

They need fewer and instead some real wolf group that is hunting you. Right now they are nothing but brainless drones, drifting around randomly. My first time in The long Dark and I survived over 15 days, then the gameplay started to bore me- you always do the exact same stuff all the time.

Yeah, it was a huge disappointment. Some time ago I've read a writeup from someone with a slightly alternate story version and it sounded really good. Makes the real movie even more sad...

Yeh, the feeling of being able to beat the enemies pretty much made Dark Souls for me. At first I wanted to rage and quit and all of that, but now I love it. On the other side, I don't feel motivated to start a 100% fresh character, though... as leveling up still results in a truckton of grind, unless you are so good with the combat system that you won't take any hits. /Edit: What I also like is this old knights kind of stuff. Cool helmets to wear, etc. like this: You can pretty much look like a cool gladiator, if you want to (well, at least in DS2).

I am so pissed off from this. I want a real addon for Rome 2, but instead we get a new full price title in 3 months that almost looks like Rome 2 again. Also don't even bother with the screenshots, they are doctored pr shots anyway. This has always been the case so far.

Yeah, that game must be sick with Oculus Rift. But I fear my computer won't have the necessary graphic power to run it well in 3D. Not even next year when I get me some new hardware.

Fuuu. It didn't see me in that situation, heh. The moment I thought it would jump at me - and me being ready with the flamethrower - it instead jumped up into the vents and disappeard. Have to say, since I got the flamethrower and noticed how the ai works, I am not that much scared anymore. It's like I lost the fear of the unknown.

Could have used a taser or w/e. I thought american policel oves it so much to tase people. Honestly, with all the reports coming up (and probably because I've read all the stuff about the pennsylvania police stuff like this), it makes me feel as if american police isn't there to secure the people, but to oppress them.

Sux. But it once again shows: If you want to make a fan remake, never ever, ever, ever, ever contact anyone from the IP owners. In this very moment they are officially aware of what is going on and usually need to do something against it to protect their property (or they think they have to, I dunno) and you will get a C&D. /Edit: it sucks even more, because this looks like a fan project that really could have been going somewhere. These things never had been very common.

I like foxes. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/11/19/ivan-kislov-foxes-wildlife-photos-chukotka_n_6187822.html Most pretty and super cute.

I remember quite good graphics in ME3 too. ME2 didn't looked bad either. But if I now look at this new DA game and the clunky animations... well...

I dunno. It sounds very ambitious and if it would be that easy to implement, I am sure someone would have done it already (in a multiplayer MMO-like game).

Damn, that made me go and check my profile status-- Member Since 23 Apr 2009. Time passed so fast...

This is way too good to be true. Tensed to see what's going to happen on monday / tuesday.

So my PC -> TV setup is working, and my Xbox 360 controller arrived. Have to say it feels quite good. I might even like it more than the PS3 controller. Tested out some games: Oddworld Stranger's Wrath feels pretty good. Couldn't bear it on PC with keyboard and mouse. It just felt really annoying to play. Also the graphic looks pretty good. It's one of the best looking "console games" I now own. Also I've found out that Alien Isolation is a lot more fun with a controller... But this doesn't surprise me much, as I've seen right in the first minute that it's got a horrible console port (just reading the computer logs felt too annoying to me... So many buttons to press for such a small action). Plays much more smooth with a controller. Now I might get around to play it a little more / maybe even finish it. In any case, now I am ready for Metal Gear Solid 5 and the Resident Evil Remake Remake and I've got the best possible console ready for it... a PC. :>

Yes I get sick pay. Also, like most British people I get >20 days holiday. I don't know why on Earth US firms seem to think they're making crafty savings by denying sick time. As I say, if you deny people sick days then they just come in while sick and fail to perform ...or die, I guess. Neither situation strikes me as optimal man management. And they probably infect the other workers, who then won't perform at their best as well. But hey, paid sick leave is an evil commie thing, so w/e. /Edit: Especially in open-plan offices this can be a huge problem. I was working in one of those once- big rooms with like 30 or what people in it. All the time I've been there, at least one or two people had been sick and in winter time it got much worse. Most of the workers there came to work even when obviously being ill. Sneezing and coughing all the time... getting the next people sick. It was christmas 2012, and in 4 weeks I've been totally down 3 times too... but yeah, guilty here -> I didn't stayed home either. The position there was through timed employment, and they (the client) kicked out everyone who missed for a week or so. This made the people panic, and only a few decided to stay home... and got taken off with the next wave of purgation. A week or two later we had new people. At this time it was the best paid job I had in recent years and I really didn't wanted to lose it. There was lots of talk about a few others and me being taken over as full employees, but then some random silly stuff happened and I was taken off too. Felt really ****ty at this time, but later I realized that it was good. The company didn't gave a fukc about their employees and I certainly wouldn't have been happy there in the future... Long story short, now I am happy about it. Lost a truckton of money through it, but whatever. I am more happy now.
