  That's just outright disappointing. This whole Episode 2 is leaving a bad taste in my mouth. I was completely gripped in the teenage melodrama in the scenes leading up to the Halloween party then the game slowly started losing me as it progress onward. It's created some solid gameplay scenarios by introducing money, discovering objects along the way, super powers. Problem is that the stand out scene in Ep 1 was the gas station. That was a prime example of storytelling meshing amazingly with the new money system. Survival vs honesty vs resource management. Great stuff. The rest of Ep 1 and 2 is just a lot of walking around and looking at objects. We waited MONTHS for Ep 2 and it was promised to be their most ambitious but it felt like an on-rails segment through and through. It has less use of the new mechanics from Ep 1 and the story only has a few stand out moments. They've sort of missed opportunities to create tension and grip you whereas every episode of Life Is Strange 1 and BtS had this. I'm hoping from now until May 9th they aren't just polishing it but really working out the story, and massaging a unique twist on the adventure game. LiS1 has the time mechanic AND photography. Both compliment decision making and exploration. LiS 2 has some telekinetic super powers and an inventory/money system. Let's use these good ideas for some compelling gameplay and storytelling cause if Ep 3 is disappointing after a five month wait, that'll just be pretty aggravating as somebody who purchased the game outright in like October to support a series I've loved. The drawing minigame isn't as good as the photography minigame but I think they have enough in the core gameplay to make up for it. Here's to hoping.

  Being a teacher I like dat 100 point scale. Game gets a 50? Sure it might have some redeeming qualities but it has done most things incorrectly and is just barely scraping by. In dat 70 range range? You're making some good points but maybe you completely ignore proper formatting. 90-100? Good job you are in the top percentile of the class. You did your research and polished your work to a mirror finish. Maybe the rest of the class could take a few notes from these guys.

  Got a pic and a vid. So far, so good! I've run through the first hour or two of building up the base and getting mining and smelting operations worked out. To begin with there's not a lot to do other than collect and refine resources, but it REALLY seems to start to open up when you finish your first set of objectives. There is a lot more to dig into. There's a loooooong way for me to go. Youtube Video

  Sewer Shark would be awesome. I have fond memories of playing that with my older brother on Sega CD. Harvester would be neat to see in HD.

  Really wish they had a bit more budget and time to clean up those animations. The facial animations during dialogue are particularly rough. Still think it'll be worth it, especially for those who've waited so long.

  I can't confirm but back in the day, I'd find a save file on Game FAQs, put it on a USB then have all the islands unlocked and cars in my parking spot in GTA IV. That was on PS3 though. I think for GTA V the whole map is unlocked from the get-go and it only takes an hour or so to unlock all characters. Might not have to beat everything to goof around.

  I honestly can't emphasis how much fun I have with this game. Even if the games last a minute, it's still always chaotic madness with a group. Surprised they haven't given us the season 1 information yet but I guess it'll probably drop very soon after they announce it.

  @dipset said in Are We in a Golden Age of Videogames?: @ezekiel I'm not one to advocate people retrying games they don't like, I hard quit Spider-Man three hours in because I didn't like all the radio towers, BUT God of War keeps getting better and better as you play. At the mid-way point it has some serious fan service and is revealed effectively through the camera not using any cutting. Its a BIG WOW moment. Then the game ends hinting in some of the directions you suggest. The game also does test the sort of character change you say isn't believable in Kratos. They show how and why he is the way he is today and he is tested from going back to his old ways. The game was doing A LOT of set up (a whole games worth) for what's to come. Its getting bigger, crazier, and without spoiling it for people who haven't played it - its story/mythology is going into uncharted territory. I quit some time after acquiring the Blades of Chaos and first being haunted by Athena, which is part of the fanservice you're talking about. I didn't buy his transformation or the change in tone. It's really pretentious of SIE Santa Monica to pretend this series is and was high art.

  I missed Return of The Obra Dinn completely in October and honestly this is one heck of a gem. Now that i'm getting around to playing this game I can't really stop. Haven't played a mystery game like it before. Highly recommended!

  My second Claire results were better. Could have cut it down to six saves, as I continued past two typewriters without restarting. :( This game was pretty good. The thing that probably disappoints me most is that neither the A nor B playthrough are complete. The A scenario has a better opening than the B scenario and the B scenario has a better ending than the A scenario. You can't get a full experience. I want Claire's jacket.

  dota 2 is a fairly old game. What G-card do you have and can you select Direct x 9 or 10 when you play the game?
