  1. Black Friday Deals

    They added a tutorial section to the Witcher 2 and possibly tweaked the difficulty of the first part (or did they?). I did a bunch of side quests in chapter 1 before continuing with the main story and had no troubles with the difficulty after that. Highly recommended! Might still be my game of the year (so far).
  2. Black Friday Deals

    As I have tried to point out before, you can't say that vast majority of people found it to be a let down based on the posts in this thread. It seems to be 4 against 2 at this point, and even if it wasn't, the sampling is very small and, most likely, biased (because of the way the question was initially laid out). Metacritic user score, for example, is 7.3 (which is in par with the user scores of most "good" games) and includes a bunch of 0 and 10s as is to be expected. But of course, if you just assume that vast majority of people shared your experience, then you must conclude that the reviewers dropped the ball.
  3. Batman: Arkham City

    For a while there, I thought they only included a picture of the statue and not the actual thing. That would have been awesome.
  4. Black Friday Deals

    There were some drivers that "let" you use PS3 controller on PC, but they worked nightmarishly at best. All I ever achieved with them was 4 consecutive BSoDs. That was a couple of years ago and on XP, but I'm not too optimistic that the situation has gotten any better. Basically, if you need a PC controller, buy one. And if you do, buy an XBOX 360 one, because the developers seem to have gotten lazy of late and in many cases do not support other controllers properly. Also: Thunderpeel, your sampling there is quite ridiculous.
  5. General Video Game Deals Thread

    Yeah, I can't keep track of all the indie games I have in my Steam library anymore. I'm not complaining, though: some day I may have an urge to play one.
  6. Black Friday Deals

    So roughly on par with games like [/url]Real Steel, Red Bull X-Fighters and Michael Phelps: Push the Limit, but quite a bit worse than Duke Nukem Forever? Also, one of my friends thought it was pretty much the most interesting and best game he has played in a long while. So go figure..
  7. Batman: Arkham City

    I had already forgotten that this game uses the piece of shit that is Games For Windows Live. I had such a horrible time with it when I first tried to play Arkham Asylum. Shame to hear about the other bugs as well.
  8. Batman: Arkham City

    Erm, what? Has anyone given a reason why they have been pulled (?) from Steam?
  9. Black Friday Deals

    A friend of mine almost couldn't bear living anymore after having finished the game. It is really that bad!
  10. General Video Game Deals Thread

    Indie Game Music Bundle Interesting idea! Worth checking out for the Super Meat Boy soundtrack alone I guess. NOTE: This seems to be available for one day only.
  11. Black Friday Deals

    Such as?
  12. Batman: Arkham City

    But hey, at least you can enjoy the physics physx!
  13. Black Friday Deals

    But we celebrate Christmas and Consumerism just like the Americans. Also, what an outrage there would be if only the Americans got all these sweet deals.
  14. Batman: Arkham City

    Is there still an achievement for collecting, say, 80/100 of them? In my opinion that is usually the best way to handle those kind of collectibles.
  15. V The Elder Scrolls

    I think I have to buy the game now.
  16. Life

    I'm starting to suspect that elmuerte's story is in fact some viral promotion for Office Space 2 or something.
  17. Obligatory comical YouTube thread

    The one at 0:41? From this one: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0810913/
  18. The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword

    It is probably used to determine the wiimote orientation so that you can control the sword movement with more accuracy. Oh, and there is the flying bug thing. I'm still unsure whether I should get this or not. On the one hand, the graphics look quite bad already, the lack of true overworld sounds worrying and the ballet dancer villains don't quite work for me. On the other hand, it is a Zelda game.
  19. V The Elder Scrolls

    Aaargh.. After watching the GiantBomb Video Review/Quicklook, I desperately want play this game, which is quite unfortunate because I was hoping that this would be one of the few things that I would not have any interest at all and therefore couldn't drag all my spare time away from me. Oh well.. Maybe I will get this on January, when I start with my Master's. What could possibly go wrong.
  20. The Dancing Thumb (aka: music recommendations)

    Kammerflimmer Kollektief's Teufelskamin just entered my house through the hole in my door. This stuff mesmerizes and fascinates me for reasons that are mostly unknown to me. My Voynich manuscript of jazz. yXVhFB0wHPU
  21. PETA are sick @#$%ers (Mario kills Tanookis)

    There is nothing wrong with that period. It just looked so lonely amongst all the ellipsis, exclamation marks and question marks.
  22. PETA are sick @#$%ers (Mario kills Tanookis)

    Indeed. It shouldn't come as a surprise that PETA tries to be as provocative as possible. Also, I'm sorry tanu but I had to do this.
  23. Costume Quest

    I started playing this today. Very fun and cute. I found it surprisingly hard to block and perform critical hits, though, because I'm not used to XBOX360 controller. I mean, what the fuck is blue X doing on the left? I hope I can figure this out before Arkham City arrives. I got the controller half way through Arkham Asylum, but simply couldn't use it because I got so confused with the controls.
  24. The sneaky stealth game thread.

    Deus Ex: Human Revolution was the best stealth experience I have had in a long time, or indeed ever.
