I got the Android port of Shadowrun: Dragonfall.

It's okay.

It clearly wasn't ported with any thought at all given to the platform, but it divides up into chunks in a way that makes it nice for playing on the go

I might try XCOM Enemy Within next.

Good graphics by most goon definitions means as poo poo brown and grey as possible with bloom lighting.

Yes, one of the most commonly-criticized aspects of game art design is something that all goons except you, the smart and beautiful exception, love and want to kiss.

beat dragons dogma. very fun. probably replay it eventually with different classes maybe try to do more of the post game stuff but the everfall random monster encounter stuff is not really grabbing me now with my boring warrior character.

game's quest flags are so hosed up but in a kind of endearing way even if it does gently caress you over left and right until you know what you're doing and what to watch out for.

started Neir today and it seems really great and refreshingly polished coming off of dd. fun times.

If you're a warrior, you could move into Assassin. You won't be using many of their bow abilities, but a lot of what they do is climbing-based, and the warrior's high strength growth is great for that.

I kind of don't like this trailer because it gives away too much story I think. Also i'm stupid enough to unironically enjoy the poo poo of of MGS' story so that matters to me.

That's because the MGS series has a great story.

why the gently caress are people talking about the worst game in here

That's funny, I didn't realize people were discussing a new expansion for some game about cars or something, probably Gran Turismo or Gran Turismo 2 or Gran Turismo 3 or Gran Turismo Pocket.

Sequels do not have any gameplay. Crash Bandicoot Warped didn't even run if you plugged a controller in the system, it just said NO WAY and Crash waggled his finger at you.

There is no gridlock on the freeways, there's no grid. It's a freeway. That's the whole point. You only get gridlock on a grid.

They already patched BL2. It's helped a bit. Not a ton, but I definitely saw more oranges just in a normal mode playthrough than in two other characters.

So can I sue GameStop for false advertising for selling a used console as new? I got a play station TV yesterday, and as I went to link my account today the system is already showing a link to a different account and won't let me sign in with a different account.

No, but GameStop corporate won't like it if one of their franchises is doing that, I'd send some emails and make some phone calls, you can probably get a refund.

Lose/Lose is a video-game with real life consequences. Each alien in the game is created based on a random file on the players computer. If the player kills the alien, the file it is based on is deleted. If the players ship is destroyed, the application itself is deleted.

Although touching aliens will cause the player to lose the game, and killing aliens awards points, the aliens will never actually fire at the player. This calls into question the player's mission, which is never explicitly stated, only hinted at through classic game mechanics. Is the player supposed to be an aggressor? Or merely an observer, traversing through a dangerous land?

Why do we assume that because we are given a weapon an awarded for using it, that doing so is right?

By way of exploring what it means to kill in a video-game, Lose/Lose broaches bigger questions. As technology grows, our understanding of it diminishes, yet, at the same time, it becomes increasingly important in our lives. At what point does our virtual data become as important to us as physical possessions? If we have reached that point already, what real objects do we value less than our data? What implications does trusting something so important to something we understand so poorly have?
