I heard Bohemia Interactive had a really good Arma 3 presentation.

I'll just leave it here.

The game also hides a bunch of surprising events/twists that you won't experience on your first game. And the devs are adding stuff with every patch.

I mean, how many games get free content added, devs listening to the fanbase to see what needs to be fixed, what kind of DLC they want, etc? EA should take notes.
My thoughts exactly. I just had to buy the whole thing. 12,50 isn't much for such a great game, especially when there's still one big expansion on the way.

Diablo 3 is such a disappointment D: I wonder how Blizzard could do that and still think they'd get away with it.

I mean, they removed character customization by removing the skill tree the capacity for the player to put points in attributes, and made grinding and finding loot the focal points of the game by making the top difficulty level impossible. Now, it wouldn't be so bad if you had to play to find loot, now you can just buy it?

So all you do is grind to level up? This is like a cheap WoW, which is saying a lot.

Wow, Diablo 3 is complete bullshit. In order to use the real-money auction house, you need to use Paypal, and to use Paypal with your battle.net account, you need to give them your cellphone number. If you don't have a cellphone, they force you to buy a stupid keychain authenticator for $6,50!

I dont have a cellphone, I don't want one, and I don't want their stupid authenticator D: Now I can't sell my loot for 2 bucks :(

See?

The thing that makes my stomach churn is people are selling, and getting, well over 100 fold that number for a single item.

Money, money, yo. You remember the story of people selling lvl 60 WoW characters for tens of thousands of USD$, right? The Koreans who were making it a living?

Yea, you're right I suppose I'd rather have some pimply coke bottle glasses nerd from America have that money rather than feed the business of Chinese gold farming.

First off, you shouldn't be using the real money auction house. Doing that is just shaming you as a gamer. The moment I start buying virtual gear for my character is the day I will stop gaming. Even just selling your stuff for money seems kind of stupid.


Also, how can you live in this age with out cell phone mang? Even if you don't like them you kind of need them. You can go to a payphone and text your love thang about what you're doing.

Either way, I'm like level 59 in D3 and it's still my first character but it seems like inferno is a real bitch because a lot of people are still playing their inferno characters going on since the game came out. I've never played inferno yet but it definitely feels like it's a real test of how good your gear is lawl.

I don't want to buy gear with my money mang, but I'm unemployed and felt that selling some gear for a few bucks could pay back the sixty bucks I've thrown in the garbage for this game D:

Same thing for a cellphone, I'm unemployed, plus I hate them, so there's no way I'm getting one. Plus, cellphones prices are way too expensive around here. What uses are they anyway? I have a phone at home, that's more than enough.

War of the Roses Alpha. So far it looks pretty good visually. Needs a lot of work to be able to compete with Mount & Blade on the gameplay however. A bit static, hit-detection and collisions are pretty funky and not to mention you can pass through enemies but not allies.

Will probably be pretty enjoyable as a final product.

"Hombre Prospero"? D:

And in a case of "couldn't be any more/less appropriate if I tried", just played dating/torture simulator Beautiful Escape:Dungeoneer.

If not for shortness and the whole "being a RPGmaker game" aspect, this could've been quite the thing. Heck, it is, if only for the plot and the magnificent slap it rewards you with at the end. Doubly so if you end it like I did, but I'll spare you the details, so as to refrain from speaking about the combination of chainsawing someone's leg off and using ropes to prolong the affair. Also, spoilers. Because it is absolutely worth it regardless of how squeamish ye be. And I'm quite the squeamster. Maybe not anymore, tho. :duckie:

Heard Mad World and promptly uninstalled. What a shame.

Finished Resonance a short while ago, strongly recommended to anyone who yearns for a high quality adventure game. :drunk:

Holy fuck The Last Express on GoG for $2.39 (for another 6ish hours). Arguably one of, if not the best, adventure game(s) ever made. :drunk:

I've got to bump this thing. This game absolutely rocks. My dynasty began with the duchy of Munster and the current ruler just became the king of Ireland, Wales and... Jerusalem.
