Last game I completed was HeXen II... I know, real retro. All in all, it was pretty fun, actually much harder than I remembered it (had to switch characters and even tone down the difficulty in the last chapter to get to the end). Game I am trying to beat now: Witcher 3. I loved the first...

I never pre-ordered in the first place. (a) I don´t consider the full price of a newly released game adequate to the fun I´m having with the product; (b) I don´t like the approach of hyping up a half-assed game the pre-order philosophy supports. That being said, a week ago was the first time...

I´m really sorry for your loss. I don´t know what to say and I can´t even begin to imagine how you must be feeling. So yeah, sorry for your loss, I´m just one of those friendly strangers hearing you out hoping it helps at least a bit. I don´t really know about videogame music but for me...

Given all the very specific circumstances of this hypothetical situation, I´d say yes. But here´s a couple of things to consider (and I´m sorry if that´s already been mentioned, I´m too lazy to read all the 6 pages of replies...): - in real life, you can never be sure whether the information...

DOOM 1&2 and Planescape: Torment were the first I thought of. After that, lemme see... Unreal (the original one), a totally underrated gem that I love replaying, if only for the music and beautiful art design. Going into more recent games I can think of The Witcher, the Portal series, Metro...

Be warned though that the general consensus still seems to be that most people didn´t like it. On the other hand, we who didn´t like DA:O may be better disposed to enjoy DA2. Might be worth a shot but if you do, try not going in expecting much. And definitely get ready for re-used dungeons. A...

Aaaand right after venting my frustration with Dragon Age: Origins, here I am to say that I enjoyed the generally poorly received sequel :-) Most of other people´s complaints I saw as improvements over the original. More action-oriented combat? Well, since the tactical combat didn´t feel at all...

Man, does it feel good to come here and find out that I´m not the only freak of nature who didn´t like Dragon Age: Origins... Weird difficulty spikes, the whole combat system seemed wrong, especially with AI programming I couldn´t somehow understand - it always seemed my companions either did...

I like to change things up. I don´t have a build I´d always go to on a first playthrough of a game and when/if I replay it, I usually go for something different to see how it works. In games where you can make character/story decisions (RPGs and such), I try to change things up also but I...

I just finished my second playthrough of Bastion and am looking forward to delving deep into the Witcher 2. Plus a little Blood 2 on the side. Man, that game sure is tough...

I can´t seem to understand the rage about this "gamers are dead" thing. From the first moment I read those articles (I did not read them all, mind you, but I still read a couple of them), I automatically understood that to basically mean only a specific sub-group of all gamers. Which does not...

Maybe I´m forgetting some, after all it´s been quite some time, but here are the ones I remember finishing: No One Lives Forever 1 & 2 The Witcher 1 Bastion Spec Ops: The Line Mark of the Ninja Torchlight Hotline Miami a couple of Doom II mods

Also, zombie movies in general: 1. That one guy that gets infected and decides it´s best not to tell anyone and go on like nothing happened. 2. The rest of the group when they hesitate to kill that guy, even when he´s begun changing into a zombie. No, we have to wait until the...

This. A hudred times this. This is exactly the reason why I find it excruciating to watch most romantic comedies. I really, almost physically, can´t stand watching all those people trying to solve things behind each other´s backs when it´s so obvious it´s only going to make things worse. But...

To anyone interested, I´ve got Steam keys for: - Beatbuddy: Tale of the Guardians - PixelJunk Eden - Starseed Pilgrim - Terraria - The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing (Complete Pack) Willing to trade them basically for any interesting game I don´t have yet, PM me if you´re...
