Hard Reset comes out in a week. Looks like it'll be a decent PC game, at an attractive price. No DRM, with classic FPS gameplay. Anyone who believes in hassle free PC gaming should throw some money at these guys. Money talks, and if devs see that DRM free PC games sell, we'll get more DRM free PC games...

On another note, I hear Dead Island got some pretty mediocre reviews. Basically they say it's much ado about nothing. Probably why a demo wasn't released.
Still want to at least play it.

Yah I wonder what it will take to play Skyrim with decent graphics! lol. Looks to be amazing. I will probably just get it on Xbox since I liked Oblivion on xbox. Will there be any real advantage to getting th PC version other than the fact that you can use the mouse?

Gonna be sweet:

*Picture*

Actually the game will be optimized for Xbox/PS since it has so few pirates as opposed to PC games, so you might prefer playing it on Xbox

And I'm a pretty big gamer myself - at this moment the thing I am waiting for the most is ME3
And Skyrim

Deus Ex: Human Revolution. I actually had few days of no-lifeing, and finished playing the story today. The game is absolutely fantastic and i strongly recomend it. The storyline is great and there is very much decisions to make in the game. I started it again today, with a different playing style. The voice actors in the game are great too, and the voice of the main Character is epic. It' a great game, check it out.

(insert awesome trailer)

Forgot to mention about the music. I had to download the whole soundtrack.. (=it's great)

Anyone hear anything about Rage? I saw the poster and asked the guy at gamestop and he said it was like a borderlands type mix between action fps and rpg which is my favorite kind of game (like borderlands, Deus Ex, Mass Effect etc). Anyone know if it's going to be any good?

Deus Ex is really a fun game, sometimes stealth is too hard so I just go in blasting, but then I feel bad like I cheated lol. I love games where you can upgrade, and I LOVE that Deus Ex is one of the few role playing type games where YOUR CHARACTER ACTUALLY HAS A GOD DAMNED VOICE.


EDIT: Re: Gamestop etc trying to pressure Dev's into not launching on Steam. I knew this would happen, but it won't be any use so i'm not worried. Things like Steam or the Xbox games-on-demand store are wildly successfull because it's 2011 and people don't want discs, they want to just download that shit and have it stored all in one place.

Most game stores have gone out of business, Gamestop is the only one standing in CA pretty much. They can put up a fight but they have become irrelivant and hopefully on the next big console they will just do it all direct download from a digital store. Then I can literally not leave my couch.

I think the only thing that realy keeps gamestop alive is people trading in games .. well 6 mons or so ago i went to trade in a few old games i dont play anymore and they wanted my id birth certificate. blood and piss sample (ok not realy) but it was a hassle so i said forget it i'll just keep them you prolly wont give me more than a buck or 2 a piece for them anyway

I do my dead level best to stay far away from Gamestop. They may have cheap used games, but in the long run they are hurting the industry.

I've got both Rage & Skyrim pre-ordered but I'm actually a little more stoked about Rage. Maybe because its about 5 weeks closer to launch. And its by the makers of Fallout 3 & has a little of that flavoring in some of the vids. But quite a bit more intense.

New Legend of Zelda comes out in November. They are saying it's one the longest, hardest Zeldas to date. I hope so, they have become to easy over the years.

Yah I have both pre-ordered as well. Gonna be a sweet winter this year between the two! Won't be getting a lot done between october and december lol.

So I got Deus Ex on a whim not knowing anything about it and it is an amazing game.

Role playing but lots of action, great graphics, great gameplay, decisions make a difference, lots of upgrades to your character. All around great game. It favors stealth over guns-blazing strategies so it's fun mainly for that reason.

just ordered it. with all the other hyped titles, i didn't even know it had come out. the original was great, and this one sounds pretty good too. also have heard some comparisons made to assassins creed, which i love and own the whole series. the next AC is also a definite buy for me.

[sgreger1]

I wouldn't compare it at all to assasins creed, almost like a FPS version of Mass Effect if anything. Lots of upgrading your character (which is my favorite aspect of RPG's) along with a gameplay environment that heavily rewards stealth/strategy over going in guns blazing. Lots of sneaking around. I have been playing this game for over a week and I can say it is solidly worth the $65, one of the better games i've played this year and I hadn't even heard anything about it until I bought it. Some of it is a bit unrealistic, like when you kill guards and they get alarmed, if you just wait it out in a corner they will eventually go back to their patrols like nothing happened. But then you lose the special bonuses you get for "not alarming any of the guards" which is a pretty substantial bonus that really helps you upgrade quicker so that sort of balances it out. Save frequently, as you will mess up a bunch of times and have to reload lol.
