The hardest available for the first run-through. I don’t remember specifically what it’s called. I changed it in-game after I had already started.

I’m picturing a bunch of dudes just mulling around outside, smoking cigarettes, looking uninterested.

I guess I just don’t get Diablo. I’ve put about 20 hours into D3 and on the hardest difficulty it’s still extremely easy. I’m playing as a sorcerer and I simply loaded up the attack stats for my gear and the game’s so easy it makes me think something is broken. I doubt I’ll return to it.

I’ve been on sabbatical (or rather extended Sabbath) for the duration of winter break. I finished DA:Inquisition, Dishonered, Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons, Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag, and Far Cry 3. I’ve got a week left before school starts and I think I’ll manage Mass Effect 3 in that time.

People seem to give Steam a lot of crap but it’s easily one of the most consumer forward businesses I’ve come across. Can anyone remember a time before Steam when videogame sales were even a thing? Not to mention a refund policy. Or user reviews. They changed the industry for the better, imo.

Pazuzu just hijacked-I mean pirated-this forum. And yes, I’ll go sit in the corner and turn around now.

Killer system, but what a powersuck. I can see this being useful in a game cafe (if any of them can stay open in the States).

I think this is probably a good thing for Kojima. I seem to remember him saying, after MGS2, that he wanted to do games other than Metal Gear. That was 15 years ago! I’m curious to see what he will create now that there’s no burden of an established series (though he could always just be working on a Sony branded IP).

I can’t imagine what their lung cancer rates are...

Part of me agrees with the guy saying that it takes him out of the roleplay. Seeing a group of deathclaws surrounding the body of a person (adult or child) tells me a story: here lies someone who didn’t get away. It adds to the drama and atmosphere of the game. It’s dirty and gritty and that’s the world you’re playing…
