*gravely voice* You can call me Router. Router Matrix.

Or go even further with GTAV, where the lighting and colors used are very vibrant and evocative, leading to a city that feels like a place where one might actually live. That being said, that's supposed to be LA and this is Chicago, which isn't as famed for it's glitz.

I own the big three from last generation before I switched over. I'll probably get a Wii U once it gets to 200 or lower, but I will hold out buying an Xbone/PS4 for as long as I can (i.e. until there's a must have exclusive on one of the consoles).

Consoles aren't able to run current games on PC max settings though, so that point is moot.

Yes, but even though PC gamers are super snobs, at least they're right about most of what they say. I'll admit to getting a certain amount of fulfillment from seeing the Xbone and PS4 not performing as they were pitched and demoed. However, cost is definitely a thing and PC tends to be significantly more expensive…

The Perd Hapley Second Person Edition DLC will make all the ugliness worth it.

I think it's because most gaming media was drooling over it for years now, despite the premise not being particularly unique.

Suckers!

Or for someone who really wants pseudo-hacking in their games, try Uplink or the Hacker Evolution series

I'd complain about spoilers, but I honestly can't bring myself to care about the storyline of this game.

I wish there was a phrase to express the joy I feel in viewing his misfortune.

I agree, but I think that GTA-likes are unique in the fact that neither control system is optimal for all cases. In these games, the on-foot controls are typically better with KB+M, but driving is typically better with a controller. I tend to have a harder time shooting with a controller than driving with KB+M, so I…

I think you're on to something; maybe in the vein of the Game of Thrones' newbies and experts reviews, we could get reviews from the jaded and cynical Gameological contributors, as well as AVC contributors that don't typically play every damn game that comes down the pipe. Teti, there is untapped potential here!

Suggested alternatives: Hunter, Greyson, Nolan, Logan, Isaac, Preston, Sander, Tristan, Moonbeam, Apple, Xythantiops, Arbuckle, Hackman.

I actually switched to my 360 controller, and it controls tons better than with KB+M, especially when driving is concerned. It is insane that it controls as badly as it does when GTA, Saints Row, and Sleeping Dogs all control perfectly fine with KB+M.

I'm unsure how you can read the selected dialog present in the review and think "yes this is what I expect out of my entertainment media." Comparing that to the writing in indies is like night and day. You do have a point that reviewers ascribe meaning to things that probably don't need it, but it doesn't change the…

So far the police have been particularly annoying to deal with. Outmaneuvering them is almost impossible, unless you're in a great car, and they seem to have clairvoyance. The best method of dealing with cops is just leading them into a traffic light intersection and pressing the QTE prompt when it comes up. This…

I've only seen one multiplayer mode, ripped from Dark Souls. You can invade another player's game as a random NPC, and they have to profile around a search zone to find and kill you before you can hack their Gibsons. I watched a friend get invaded and it got pretty frantic; he actually managed to find the invader…

At least they made story NPCs have appropriate info blurbs. Jackson had "Being treated for PTSD", which I've seen on cops during the intro, interestingly enough.

What I love is that there's a reputation system and hacking someone's bank account does not impact that at all. It might be cool if you had to choose whether or not you wanted to take $1500 from a cancer survivor or $900 from a drug dealer, the former having reputation consequences and the latter not (but maybe the…
