Yeah...I heard some bad things about Lollipop Chainsaw's game play, too. I don't know if it's that bad, but I kind of wanna wait until the price goes down, too. I still like the characters and the plot, though, and I wish there was more fanart of them...and not just of Juliet. I wanna see more good fanart of the Dark Purveyors, especially Zed and Mariska. They're my favorites.

Pre-owned copies of Lollipop Chainsaw now cost about $35 on Game Stop's website. The price is going down, and fast. I just might get it myself, soon.

Seems like the same problem with NMH. Great visual style, hilarious writing, awesome VA work, some interesting combat mechanics...and shitty level design. Get Suda51 to do the basic idea for the game, get someone else entirely to do the levels next time. Please? That being said, I did love the parts of NMH that were done well. (I love Travis. He has a badass jacket, he's voiced by The Goddamn Medic, and has a cat. End of story.)

Also I cannot take Tara Strong seriously as Juliet or Harley Quinn, because I cannot unthink her as Bubbles or Twilight Sparkle.

As pretty as Rage is and as wacky as the enemies are as they climb about the place like baboons at a rave and as fun as the driving is

It is hard to give a damn about a story that one theorises was written by a seven year old boy on the back of a school detention letter with an orange crayon

I worry sometimes that Killing Floor will end up the same way.

A lot of people are really shitty to play with, it's never updated unless there's an event (and then the servers are swamped until the end of the event, when people leave and stop playing until the next one), and reoccurring problems like laggy, unstable servers and the massive jump in difficulty between Beginner and Normal are never fixed.

Which is a shame, because the game is incredibly fun.

>>1723
Eh, Killing Floor has been chugging along just fome for a few years now.

I worry more for Red Orchestra 2. The developers have been trying trying to please vocal "RO vets" who are pissed off because it isn't exactly the same as the first game and stop having fun. And the time spent making "Classic" mode would have been better spent making drastically needed bugfixes and optimizations along with new content. As somebody on OperatorChan put it:
>it makes the PR community seem like a bunch of civil and open-minded individuals.

For example, idiots demanding the removal of the arcade/realism modes.

Just got this game for Christmas and I can't believe how much this helped. The game was laggy and irritating before, I didn't know if I'd be able to stand it. But thanks for posting this, it was an enormous help!
A question, though, does anyone know how I can smooth out the mouse movement? I set the sensitivity as high as it could go and it's not enough. Not only that but they're very jagged mouse movements.

The result of a couple days of me learning how to make a summon and replace textures on armor. Kinda fucked up the latter.
Also stole the helmet from open faced helmets, I know I know.

The whole ending sequence, plus that bit in Arrival from before, already suggested "Shepard got indoctrinated by Reapers" to me before I even heard about the theory proper, so I'd be pretty happy with a reveal like that, even if there are some problems with it thematically.

While I do feel that that theory would make the ending just a little more bearable, it would make me hate bioware all the more.
The would pretty much be saying "You did everything right and made the entire universe band together? too bad, you still loose, buy more dlc."

I really want this to get better, I want to be able to make it be my Starwars in terms of fanboyism and such, but I'm actually getting depressed trying to not give up on bioware.

Well well, what do we have here. Looks like EA is now trying to use the gay romances in ME3 (and DA2) to astroturf some support for themselves after the whole Worst Company debacle. And Origin is part of that process.

You could try increasing the field of view, IIRC that helped when HL2 was making people upchuck. Enable the console and type in the following:
sv_cheats 1
fov 90

Then set sv_cheats to 0 so it lets you unlock achievements.

200-300 years in the future is actually a good time frame, what I believe is that it is a future where Gordon Freeman succeeded in defeating the Combine and humanity has recovered. The pastoral state of the field can be explained in that when the Combine invaded, they only destroyed established population centers, and since the Aperture Science facility was located in an old salt mine in the middle of the upper Michigan countryside, it escaped their notice.

That does not work at all. The original Portal and Half Life both take place in 1998; as shown in the "Lab Rat" comic, Chell was already a test subject in cryo sleep. Rat Man altering the testing roster to put her first means the first Portal starts weeks after the neurotoxin incident. Coincidentally, this time frame also explains why no outside help was sent to examine the loss of communications with the facility and disappearance of hundreds of Enrichment Center personnel.

>>1671
The first Portal starts at least a decade after the neurotoxin incedent, which happened on 'Bring Your Daughter to Work Day.'

In Portal 2, in the level where you see the abandoned science fair experiments the scientists' daughters made, there is one with a giant, overgrown potato.
Zooming in on a note on the right side of that potato's poster board will show that it was Chell's science fair experiment for Bring Your Daughter to Work Day.

So, GLaDOS killed all the scientists on Bring Your Daughter to Work Day and, assuming that since the room the experiments is in is closed off in glass it blocks any neurotoxin, she kept all the children in cryo-sleep as test subjects and made files for all of them.

So, Chell has been in the facility since she was probably somewhere around age 7 - 14.

....really makes you think what her mental capabilities really are.

And according to this, Console players won't get auto-aim or aim-assist.

People who play on consoles should probably acquire some industrial strength anal lube pronto.

I got into the PC Beta not to long ago.

Coming form casual play of 1.6, I really am liking Global Offensive.

My only gripe is the buy menu is a clear design choice for console players in mind, being un-intuitive for PC. Also, it plays a LOT like Left 4 Dead 2 did. Sometimes I just call it Counter 4 Dead.

But besides that, I really do like this version of CS!

This week on the Wonderful World of Minecraft: Maps will probably get fucked up again and it will be months before it's properly fixed!

Tim said on Twitter that they will make Psychonauts 2 if they hit 20 million.

YOU ALL KNOW WHAT TO DO

i would actually love a psychonauts 2

let's just hope they won't ruin it

I do, after a massive hiatus from it when I had Shadow Armour during 1.0 and got bored. Managed to take the same character up to cobalt, got an adamantite drill and some fun bits of hardmode gear, and am slowly working my way towards a full adamantite loadout. On another character, I play with a friend and we have just started, barely made it to some iron and silver gear because we spent most of our time making an excellent home within the terrain itself.

I had to look at that for a while.
