And so again, it begins...

[Κracus]

I will warn you though, DS isn't for everyone but it's way more rewarding as a game than Skyrim ever was.

[Κracus]

lulz.... yeah mushroom men got the best of me once... only once. Now I make sure to give them lots of room when I walk by em. So cute though.

[Plan B]

Reading this thread cured me from ever wanting to play the games mentioned.
Thanks!
Except maybe Frozen Synapse and Terraria.

Not trying to convince you but I regard Dark Souls as one of the best built games of the last generation of games. (xbox 360, yeah that's old now)

It did what other games won't do because they're too scared of how it'd affect their sales. There's so much lore and depth to that game that it's a shame people pass it over not knowing what they're missing.

The seamless multiplayer is another thing this game does so well. It's so good that I feel bad for gamers that don't play it... Yeah it's hard, but that feeling you get once you overcome a challenge is incredible and once you learn the art of combat in that game, and you will, you feel like a total badass. Until you run into the next enemy you've never seen before. Then it sends you back into a spiral of feeling helpless and childlike. I think it's that back and forth and the intensity of those changes that make it so good.

[Plan B]

It's just that I now have a lazy, relaxed approach to playing video games. Demanding instant gratification with little effort.
And from what I understand DS is quite the opposite.
I understand how every victory is thus all the more sweet, but I just can't get into that whole sadomasochistic mindset.

[Κracus]

I regard that like saying I don't like eating caviar because I can't be bothered to move the spoon to my mouth.

[Plan B]

Yeah ok, as metaphores go, that's alright I guess.
Except what I'm saying is, keep your precious caviar. I'd rather dine on readily available sweet succulent lobster.
I choose to miss out.

And caviar tastes like shit, anyway btw. Don't understand the fascination.

92% off Dishonoured? Holy shit.

Aye. I snatched it up at that price. Also got Payday 2 over at Amazon for $10.

Video games.

[bitWISE]

Ha! Dishonored is back up to 66%. Looks like I pulled the trigger just in time.

You'll enjoy it.

[Ryoki]

[Plan B]

Ugly textures 'round
Derivative gameplay found
Be fool to like it

[GONNAFISTYA]

You like BigDumbLoud in movies but bitch about textures in games? What kind of fucking fagg0t are you?

[ToxicBug]

92% off Dishonoured? Holy shit.

How much was it? I bought it for $7.49 USD, was it available for less?

[ToxicBug]

It was a glitch, within a few mins it was 75% off. Sometimes the store derps on rollover of deals and one can profit before it's fixed.

Yeah, I bought it at 75% off. Interesting, thanks!

[MKJ]

this one is great, lol.
I love the defeated look on the guy's face bottom left.

[ToxicBug]

Bought Far Cry 3: 75% off - $7.49

[Eraser]

Far Cry 3's a good choice.

I still have Dishonored sitting on my Xbox 360 harddrive. Never played it.

[Κracus]

I just ordered it... I need a new stealth game. Haven't played a good one since splinter Cell Chaos Theory.

[Deathshroud]

Fuck Dark Souls. What an infuriating bastard it is.

[GONNAFISTYA]

Far Cry 3's a good choice.

I still have Dishonored sitting on my Xbox 360 harddrive. Never played it.

After finishing both Far Cry 3 and Dishonored I have to say that Dishonored is a much better game than Far Cry 3. It's also much more satisfying, even on a replay.

When all was said and done, Far Cry 3 is just another version of Assassin's Creed...with all its heavy-handedness...just like every other Ubisoft game. "Open world" my ass.

*sigh*

Also...the ending you get if you decide to stay on the islands is THE MOST RETARDED ENDING IN THE HISTORY OF GAMING. My original ending had me leaving the islands, but I'd heard so much negativity about the "staying behind" ending I had to load a previous save and see it for myself. It's beyond terrible and features some of the worst, most dishonest writing I've ever seen in an "open ended" game.

I have no doubt the writers/editorial team were patting themselves on the back for that one...thinking they were being "edgy" and "Shakespeareian"...with none of them understanding why gamers would find it immensely stupid.

[SOAPboy]

Shadow Warrior
Far Cry 3 (finally)
FF7
Papers Please
Ether Vapor Remastered
Defiance
Skyrim

So far flushing out my backlog of wishlist shit. Been a good sale for me. Closing in on 250 games fun fun.

Most retarded ending in the history of gaming? lol no, that award goes to Rage.
But I hear what you're saying. I went for the leave the island ending as well and YouTube'd the staying behind ending. I laughed at the very first comment on the video: "What if Jason shoots blanks?"
I severely enjoyed playing Far Cry 3 though. Especially liberating the camps was fun because there were a million and one ways to go about it. Might boot up Dishonored sometime though, but I find my Xbox 360's gravitational pull has diminished to nearly 0.

[GONNAFISTYA]

I never bothered finishing Rage, so I'll take your word for it. Fuck you, now I'm gonna YouTube it and see what I didn't really miss.

And yeah, liberating the camps is the bread and butter of Far Cry 3 and once all the camps are yours the only thing left to do is the extremely linear (and kinda boring) story missions. Some advice to anyone who's playing or about to play Far Cry 3: The minute you liberate the last enemy camp, start a new game or load a save from the point where you unlocked your first tower. It's really not worth playing after that.

You will thank me for it.
