Considering all the shots they're taking at Mass Effect 3, it really, really blows my mind that there's no Tobias cameo. You'd think they'd have stuck him in there if for no other reason than a cheap calibration joke.

Watching Lowtax's stream from last night, I noticed light poles, bridges, and signs are all Zinyak'd up. Do those switch back to normal once you control that territory?

So, what kind of changes is everyone making to their Boss when moving on up to 4? My main (male) Boss is just Jason Statham, but my custom FemBoss is going through a bit of a change, mainly because I think it'd be hilarious for someone dressed like she is going to be in 4 to stop an alien invasion. Here's how she is in 3rd:  And now after Inauguration Station:

So happy that I have a relatively full schedule and a couple of new games to tide me over this one final weekend. Sale on Vita games, Gone Home coming out today, and just a couple days of work should be enough to keep me distracted enough that I don't go crazy in the meantime. And yeah, throw me on the roster of cool kids taking the day off for this.

Beep Boop why would anyone use cars when they are not the most efficient way of getting places? Does not compute. Jesus who cares if there are better ways of getting around? Cars are for when you want to be a total pimp and cruise around in your upgraded pimpmobile, whatever you decide your pimpmobile to be. Mine is going to be a purple hummer with rims and a bunch of other poo poo on it.

The quote from the Steam employee says that if you buy a Low Violence version and gift it to someone in a region without a Low Violence version, the giftee will get the Low Violence version. It's the exact same rule that lets people avoid getting the Low Violence version by getting it gifted from someone in a region with the unedited version. The moron who wrote up that rumour observed that nothing has changed and somehow concluded that things are their opposite. Ignore the article.

The hour count doesn't bother me at all. I spent 11 hours rushing through the SR3 story, which irked me until I realized I enjoyed every minute of that time. And since it's open world, I've more than doubled that count. There was some backlash to an early PS3 game's 6 hour count, Heavenly Sword? I get that. I make $10/hr, I don't want to pay that for entertainment. Another ten hours is the sweet spot, and it's why I don't mind paying for handheld games. The other complaint I don't really care about is the activities being story missions. They always give you the easiest rendition, and I still remember SR2 forcing you to play activities before you could progress in the story. No way. In short? Bring it. I'm ready to strap it on and be the president.

You could do maybe 10% of the activities and still have enough for the story, or you could even just dick around in the open world doing awesome things and get enough respect that way. I've never had a problem having enough respect for missions, because I was never not dicking around or doing fun activities between story missions.

Wheezle posted:But that's not what it says in the article. Given your avatar and the country we're talking about, you should be completely unsurprised about the prospect of a news article being wrong or badly written. The way it's written and the 'source' he's got indicates that for all we know absolute gently caress all has changed, but it raises eyebrows that are best left un-raised and it's best to wait for the go-ahead before assuming anything about how things work. And now on a completely different track, because someone brought up talking about our Bosses again. My boss in SR3 was dressed to fit his Wraith, so he looked like this there (SR4 remake pictured, because the bomber jacket is better). He was based on my City of Heroes character in my avatar, but didn't get to wear stuff all that much like him. So initially I chose one that suited the non-combat stuff he wore. ...But then I saw something in one of the more recent dev diaries, in a category I didn't think of. So I went back in. I'm still not sure on the colors, maybe I should reintroduce the orangey-gold, but still. Beep boop, bitches.

Still watching the Lowtax/Shmorky stream, and Shmorky keeps clicking the ragdoll buttons the entire time he's flipping around in insurance fraud. That's not necessary is it? Or does that actually do something?

Wheezle posted:Um, ok then? What I meant is that the conclusions drawn by the writer are consistent with the quote from Steam support. Not really. Steam support said if the low violence version is gifted to a country that doesn't have the restriction, it'll convert to a ROW (or uncensored) version. Nothing about that says if a ROW version is gifted to a low violence territory, it'll convert to low violence. You have to understand PR speak is very, very literal, and no assumptions should be made. Now I'm not saying the reverse WON'T happen, I'm simply saying there's no way to make an informed decision based on the information we're given, and anything otherwise is pure speculation.

What he's saying technically has legs in a 'we have the technology' sort of way, but since that's how it's always worked for games like Left 4 Dead 2, it's not clear if it's going to work like he fears. But because Censorship Circumvention Chat is boring, I'm going to instead change the subject and post the world's most organizationally nightmarish sex fantasy ever. This guy has uploaded A LOT of these outfits, and they're all about what you'd think.

Bob NewSCART posted:Is this out yet? Is it good? No, yes. These answers are from someone who hasn't played the game, but considering the sizable number of Saints Row fans comparing it to 2 and the non-fans calling it a great game, I feel justified in recommending it. If you need more, wait until the loving game comes out.

I had kind of a lovely dream last night where I was playing Saints Row IV, but it was nothing like what the reviews suggested. The story was like 5 hours long (in my recollection of it), no super powers were used at all during the story, and they just unceremoniously dumped all the weapons on you at the very end. Also the Dubstep Gun was a huge, purple blob that worked like one of the heavy temporary weapons from SRTT (like the minigun or Luchadore grenade launcher).

I only watched about 2hrs of it, but they start at the beginning, run through the first 4 or 5 missions (which are basically introducing diversions like in SR3), then just do various diversions for a good while.

Every person who is holding off on buying this Day one seems like they are doing exactly the right thing, based on their concerns.On the other hand, I loved the poo poo out of SR3, although I had a lot of the usual complaints about abrupt missions/cutscene stuff, the actual gameplay was phenomenal. I sometimes unwind by spending a couple hours just crusing around in SR3 on the widowmaker listening to the radio and fighting people I don't think adequately respect me as leader of the saints. It seems like a lot of people have similar levels of enjoyment from the saints games. It either is or is not exactly what you're looking for. Also, this is just a new thread for launch, right? I had a moment of panic clicking on it when I thought it might secretly be the spoiler thread.

They play from start to the CID Mission that was on the Giant Bomb QL (this is the furthest press versions are allowed to stream). Lowtax blunted out two spoilers at random points, one that happens on screen 3/4 into it.
