I tried to name my starting planet "Wabznasm" from The Day Today, but I forgot how to spell it, and cancelled after typing "Wab." Only instead of cancelling, it uploaded that, and there appear to be no backsies.

I think I never managed to scrounge the necessary materials. I'd say I would focus more on it next time, but there is unlikely to be a next time.

I was doing really well once, then a lightning strike burned down my camp and berry bushes. It was about at that point that I thought "Hey, perma-fuck this game."

That's about where I am, though I've started a lot of characters I haven't gotten very far. That's pretty much the only thing I don't like; when things are so misbalanced that they clearly mean for you to only be able to play them with a group. Still, I think I managed 3 of the 5 bosses from the most recent DLC.

As a solo-style introvert myself, I've already sold my copy. I actually like the shooting mechanics, but [skipping a great deal of detail, and swearing, here] essentially nothing else at all.

As a counterpoint, I've probably played 300+ hours in Borderlands 2 and never once with another person, and I've had a blast, and still come back to it quite often.

(Way late to this party, but I only played P.T. over the weekend)

The very first thing I did when they updated MacOS with notifications was turn them off for everything, because I hate them anyway. When they made it so that OS update notifications couldn't be turned off, I set the "do not disturb" time to 23 hours of the day. Now I never get notifications, and only see the red icon…

I definitely have had some annoying moments, and some that were only saved by using Axton (if you manage to chuck the turrent before you end up in fight for your life mode, and there's still an enemy in sight, there's a much better chance of getting revived). Still though, I've logged at least a hundred hours without…

I loved Second Son - the multiple powers is the biggest change, but it otherwise plays quite similarly to the first two, just generally smoother all over.

Exactly - you can balance your own set in Borderlands, and 4 slots is a good compromise between limited equipment and big-crazy-weapon-wheel. Destiny forces you to lean on one slot for most of your fighting, and then says that only these handful of weapon classes can go in that slot. Who the hell thought that was a…

I think you're right. This is the team that gave us the two-weapon system to begin with, or at least the one that almost every FPS developer for a decade felt the need to imitate.

Yeah, I'm really hoping some of the skill upgrades change things up enough to be worth it. It really is very pretty, but it would be a shame if playing it ultimately turns out to be less fun than looking at it.

Firstly, you can only equip 3; one "primary," one "secondary," one "heavy." The "primary" (so far) includes pistols and various nondescript rifles. It's really only this category that you reliably ever have ammo for.

Ah, the heady days when terrible Silent Hill games were still a fresh turn of events, and not just such an accepted part of the grim state of the world they're no longer even worth commenting on.

I'll be playing the Destiny beta, and see if the extraordinarily idiotic restrictive weapon systems annoy me enough to change my mind about buying it. Could be so, so good otherwise. But God.

I paid 50$ American for Bound By Flame, and have been hearing the call of the noose ever since.

It didn't help that I also didn't get the evasion system right away. The tutorial mentioned getting out of the gray circle, but at that point the entire minimap is gray, so for a bit I thought the actual gray circle was something that was going to emerge rather than was already there, and wasted a little time which…

Oh man. Evading the cops in the opening mission just about made me rage quit 10 minutes into the game. I couldn't gain any distance, and the only thing I could hack were traffic lights which didn't actually do a damn thing, so I basically led them on an OJ - style chase until I went through a park. Turns out the cops…

There's a craftable thing called "jam coms" that seems to do it, and I think also a direct hacking skill to be unlocked, but I'm not there yet.
