I always thought the funniest bit was that you don't get anything in return. Like I assumed if and when it came out you'd get some sweet poo poo or the actual product of a gift card if it was a physical product or place. I mean I guess sometimes you do

if a new one was made itd be poo poo from a butt

also I guess theres a ton of people who made a petition for MW2 to be re-released, which baffles me. all I heard about it when people were playing it were people complaining about commando builds and people running/knifing their way to the nuke perk.

Cities: Skylines is out, and it's amazing. It's everything that the new SimCity should've been. I'm phone posting, so no pics or links, but go get that poo poo now if you like those games.

And it's only $30 on steam, and $22 on GMG with their code.

This isn't anything like Cities in Motion, it is more like a proper Simcity 4 sequel. Obviously, it isn't perfect and has some flaws that should be patched out however, if you like building roads and cities and whatnot, this is the only game in town.

Yeah, Cities XL and some other one were crappy, but it was a different dev. The only thing is common with those is the word Cities in the title. This team did Cities in Motion, which was pretty good for what it was (transportation, not city building sim).

It has full steam workshop support, and Paradox is the publisher. They've always been really good with supporting games for extended periods.

Edge Magazine (UK) just played 40 hours of Bloodborne and didn't beat it.

quote:

Playthrough did not involve Chalice Dungeon or multiplayer.
This is not an official review/no score, despite the cover of the game saying "THE VERDICT"
"Bloodborne is Hidetaka Miyazaki's brutal riposte to the section of his playerbase that thinks it has seen it all before."
Merchant sells a clip-on lantern (hello Demon's Souls augite).
"Yharnam spends the game in the grip of a perpetual night...that can only be brought to an end by the player finding and finishing off the source of the scourge of beasts." (this could be referring short term like...defeat a major boss, get some daytime, or overall, I guess)
Description on the first shield they found: Shields are nice, but not if they engender passivity.
Some enemies in the game can use spells
Confirmed Bloodtinge stat governs bullet damage
Transforming strikes and their follow-up attacks give you a way of reaching enemies that in other Souls games might be out of reach because they were pushed back by your earlier attacks - they say stamina management is a more diverse process in Bloodborne than in the earlier games
Clothes found in the world or from a merchant whose catalog expands when you defeat bosses
Bloodstone shards = titanite, coldblood = portable souls, most common items are blood vials (healing) and quicksilver bullets, but stocks can grow low later in the game
Surplus items are automatically sent to a storage box, and if you die your items are replenished from the box automatically
They say your starting stats are dictated by the trick weapon you choose, which runs counter to the origins shown in the character creator...
Only found 6 or so weapons and 6 or so guns in 40 hours
Very few chests, almost all have something good inside
Enemies only drop upgrade mats and items
Bloodgems are an upgrade item that allows you to change the attributes of a weapon, ex. increasing physical attack power, adding poison damage, or increasing scaling - all the weapons in the game are customizable with bloodgems
Did not beat the game but they feel like it is less replayable than its predecessors (this does not count the Chalice Dungeon or multiplayer components)
You can keep up to 5 dungeon configurations in your Chalice Dungeon stock
Lantern checkpoints are not "overabundant" like the bonfires of Dark Souls II, you open shortcuts rather than getting new bonfires (ala Demon's Souls), interconnectivity approaches Firelink Shrine type numbers of access and departure points in a few places
"Discrete areas flow together to create a believable world" - separating the hub from the main gameworld allows the world itself to be more coherent
They say in Souls you are frequently scared of dying, but in Bloodborne you are also scared of what is coming to kill you - "There is a moment in Dark Souls that we will never forget: down in the Depths, picking up an item from a corpse and a slime dropping onto our head. We spent the rest of the level panning the camera endlessly for unseen threats, no longer scared of dying, but of moving. Imagine a whole game of that." - For this reason they think taking the replayability factor to CD makes more sense.
Torch may be very important for newcomers/first playthroughs
There is a new mechanic they are not allowed to discuss
"If you thought From Software was going soft, Hidetaka Miyazaki is about to put you brutally back in your place. And if you've been watching this generation from the sidelines, unmoved by the remasters and rush jobs while you wait for the first true essential to arrive, now's the time. As if there was ever any doubt, Miyazaki and his team have done it all over again."

I bought City Skylines because it was 30 bux and runs on both my desktop and macbook pro. It's a lot of fun and feels like everything Sim City should have been. My only real gripe so far is that it's impossible to change the terrain once you started a game.

Skylines and the Cities XL series have absolutely nothing to do with each other. Different franchise, different developer, different publisher, different country. The developer in question previously did the Cities In Motion games, also published by Paradox. Skylines owns bones, has a bunch of great mods already, and I agree with pretty much every reviewer that this is what SimCity 5 should have been.

Differences between Hotline Miami 1 & 2

1) You have more characters in 2, and they all have different playstyles.
2) Game play mechanics are the same, but they switch up things with the above.
3) One of the characters can do a non-lethal runs of the levels, he can't use blades and will disarm any weapons you pick-up for bonus points. You only need to punch people twice when they are down to knock them down, then press right mouse to disengage. You can kill them if you punch them 3 times and you can punch them unlimited times. And after a certain amount he will take off his jacket, will start using bladed weapons, guns and be less hesitant about killing everyone. :stare:

4) Story likes to jump around a lot, but has been more coherent than 1 so far.
5) Music is bitching but not as good as 1.
6) The VHS overlay they do is loving rad.

The best thing is that they programmed the character that if you want to kill someone you need to click four times. The first two you will punch the dude and knock him out, on the third click he will very visibly hesitate, on the fourth click he will finally kill the guy sending out a bit of blood and gore. Each subsequent hit will be faster and send out even more gore and blood out. And when he first kills someone the screen will take a reddish tone. This loving game :allears:
