assassins cread 2 is free on xbl

PS4 has already won the next gen console wars

True then
Edge writers aren't fanboys (fanpeople?)

Really poor form in my opinion. I don't want to see a supposedly independent publication telling me what console I should be buying.

It's actually quite patronising.

haha did you not see all the spoof covers ? I'll see if I can find it

fuuuuck Dark Sols: Prepare to Die is 8 usd on Steam. I know I'll just get mad at it, but I've heard so much about it

DO IT! Seriously such a good game !

Hmm worried I'll lose my life to Skyrim - I'll pick it up when it's cheaper though.

Really loving Dota2 at the moment.

Also bought Torchlight 2 yesterday will be playing that Friday night if anyone fancies a game.

^ Is dota 2 not just having to learn everything, before its fun?

I've heard it's pretty brutal if you can't remember what to click with what, when.

Nah it's not that bad at all. I'd still consider myself new to it, the in game match making is quite good.

Sure you get the odd person go mad if you don't do the right thing but so long as you enjoy yourself it doesn't matter.

Skyrim - it's when you're sat indoors on a beatiful sunny day, chopping virtual wood over and over to earn the gold to buy a house you realise it's got to you!

I guess most Skyrim players can't tell the weather from their parents' basement.

Picked up a few games on the Steam sale, but haven't bought much. Really want Monaco to go on sale.

Now for my contrarian rant.

I got Bioshock Infinite off Green Man when they were undercutting Steam. I've played about 5 hours or so. The first hour was, 'wow, this is pretty'. The rest has been progressing from meh to boredom to actively being irritated by it.

I haven't finished it, so no spoilers. But I must be close to halfway through and, Jesus, is it getting tedious. The combat is abysmal; I easily melee everything to death. There is no consequence to dying, as Elizabeth brings you right back, right in place just a couple silver dollars lighter. In fact, it's hard to die when she keeps throwing me ammo if I get low, throwing health if I'm wounded and guess what happens if I run low on salt for my vigors? Am I going to be facing a bunch of baddies? No worries, Liz can pop a turret, mechanical patriot or barricade out of nowhere.

I appreciate the previous Bioshock games were on rails, but perhaps because this hints at a bigger world, it's glaringly obvious how I'm just being funneled from one locale to another to advance the plot.

Columbia started out interesting, full of people who all disappeared as soon as I had to be Mr. Gun Shooty Man turning it into a shooting gallery rather than a real place. It's nice to find the touches in the real world - posters, graffiti, recordings - that give a bit of feel to it, but that's about all that I can really say now. I'm losing interest in the story because of how bad the gameplay is.

I am really disappointed in this game, especially given the plaudits it got. Thank Xenu I bought it cheap.

Play it on hard?

I thought about it, but from what I've heard it just makes the enemies more bullet spongy which seems like the opposite of interesting to me.

I just don't think it's for me. I constantly feel like I'm being corralled from set piece to set piece. I don't like they way they tease with an interesting world that shuts down and everybody disappears from as soon as you start to play. And god, the quick time events and cinematics for everything. How many times do I have to see a cinematic to push an elevator button? I want to play and immerse myself in this world and I'm constantly having my control taken away from me.

I don't like the game design more than it being a difficulty issue.

more edge spoof covers please

meh. I'll buy it, becuase I always do. However, I haven't really enjoyed GTA since GTA2.

Have you tried Saints Row ?

I actually have Saints Row 3 here, just never found the time to play it. Lots of other games got in the way.

Ended up buying Gary's mod last night.

Also played a little bit of fallout new vegas, seems to be much more interesting the second time though. I'm so used to the rush and shoot everything approach of FPS's that I forget to slow down and take in the world/ story of the fallout games.

Nice and slow dude, nice and slow, you gotta take the chill pill and explore every nook and cranne.

I just find with the sometimes limited time I get to play games I don't always want to take 2+ hours to complete a quest if you see what I mean?

I work part time, I totally don't see what you mean.
