The one thing which bugged me a bit with The Last of Us was the AI's. You have to be hidden and quiet or you'll get spotted but sometimes the AI will be stood in the middle of the room talking and will remain unnoticed. In most other games I'd of probably been quite annoyed with that but the rest of the game more than makes up for it. Taking that into consideration I still give the game 9/10. Well worth playing

This exactly. Both parts I bolded.

If someone is with you, and yall are in stealth mode, they can literally run right in front of the AI and wont get noticed. They can hide in plain sight and not get noticed. They can follow you right when the AI is near, run in the open and wont be seen.

It might not be seen as a major flaw to some, but it does take away from the overall atmosphere of the game to me. Its like anything your partner does doesnt give yall away. I do like that you can turn off button prompts, it can make the game even more immersive and harder.

Compare that to Assassins Creed 3 where there are times you have someone with you, and you have to tell them to stay or go when trying to sneak by. I never told someone to go while guards were near, I might just to see what happens.
 
The FFXIII series seemed to get a lot of stick but personally I enjoyed it. Square Enix have really annoyed me though. They are releasing the final part to the series (Lighting Returns) in February on current gen only. I'll have long sold my PS3 by then to help cover the cost of my PS4. It looks like I'm going to have to get myself some faster internet so I can stream it on the PS4 when available. But when that'll be is anyone's guess.

They will probably allow a download of the game on PS4 at some point. I'm hoping so, at least.
 
Finished Bioshock: Infinite last night, and all I can say is wow! Didn't see THAT coming lol! If Tomb Raider had one of the best openings ever, this game had one of the best endings. _mind: blown_
 
^Yeah that was some ending.

I'm playing Saints Row The Third at the moment. I saw the full package version going for about
 
Started LA Noire, and despite the 29FPS and the disappearing textures and the reappering textures, and the car spawning at the start of a cutscene and the random stuttering and the FOV changing keys being set to + (what I use to access the steam overlay) and being quite slow...
It's a really good game. :D
 
I bought Deus Ex Human Revolution last November during a steam sale and just installed today :D and started playing. Also, just bought Borderlands 2 on the Steam sale with the vault hunters upgrade and I'll start playing it as soon as it downloads. I read recently there's new dlc planned for it soon.

Edit later on .. sonuva!! .. I paid $20 for Borderland 2 this morning. This afternoon its $10.
 
Careful with those steam sales! Right when I was paying, from one pay screen to the next the 75% sale ended on one of my games and ended up paying 10 bucks for it instead of 5(still a 50% sale).That's 5 to 10 times more expensive than some other games i got with my 25 bucks :(. Batman arkham asylum 9.99,BioShock 2 4.99,hotline Miami 2.49, Just cause 2 2.99, tomb raider underworld .80, the witcher enhanced edition 2.49. With those extra 5 bucks I could've bought another game or two.
 
I've learned the best thing to do during the Steam sale(s) is to only buy Daily Deals, and Flash Deals, until the last day. If you see a Daily or flash deal you want, buy it. It won't get any cheaper. Adding games you want to wish list makes it easier to see when something is discounted as well.

I've been playing Minecraft all week. Lots and lots of Minecraft...

I'd be surprised if there was another DLC being released soon for BL2. Tiny Tina's just came out a few weeks ago and that was the 4th or 5th DLC released for the game. Perhaps call/email Steam to see if you can be partially refunded $10 for the difference in game price within a few hours?
 
Tina Tina's Assault was the 4th DLC. Gearbox has announced that they are working on more DLC, which would include another level cap increase. I have no idea when it's coming out.
 
Finished the main part of The Darkness 2. It was shorter and more linear than the first one, but the combat was more refined and brutal. Really fun game overall. Still have the Vendetta missions to do.
 
Got a couple free Playstation Plus cards so I downloaded a bunch of their free offerings. Started playing Saints Row 3, seems alright. Anyone play it before?

Also downloaded BF3, may give that shot as well
 
Yeah I'm playing it at the moment and am enjoying it so far. There's nothing like a guy dressed as a hotdog trying to beat you with a giant appendage on a stick:D

I know! Game seems fun. I left it on easy cause I just don't have time for a game as long as Gta4. Not sure if I'll keep Plus membership so only have a month to play

Lol. Nobody just "gives" BF3 a shot. It's the best shooter out there right now.
Click to expand...
This guy does! :p

I started it and played for an hour or so. Seems pretty nice, not much of a shooter fan though. Will see if it sucks me in
 
Tomb Raider... Oh.My.God. I've only played an hour, but I can just tell that it's gonna be a great game with (hopefully) a great story.
I shouldn't have to say this (and with PS4/XBO hardware coming) but the port is really nicely done, and I only had two stutters, and the rest ran fine at 60FPS - not even TressFX stumbled my card, so props to nvidia there (I watched TB's WTF video, and his 680 tanked sometimes, and TressFX didn't help :P)

If I remember correctly, nvidea didn't get access to the game before release but AMD did (plus TressFX is their creation), which is why it was poor at the time of his video. Normally they would get it before.

Either way, I definitely enjoyed it.
 
Yeah that was it. I couldn't remember why TresFX ran so bad before.
It's still pretty gpu intensive, but dialing back the AF helps a bit.
 
Been playing The Last of Us for a few days now. It's awesome so far. It is challenging at times, a lot of games are too easy these days.
 
I've been wanting to check out Last of Us... just waiting for a price drop or something...

I've been playing Liberal Crime Squad. It's an awesomely funny game, with pretty interesting game mechanics. It's by the guy behind Dwarf Fortress, so it's pretty intense and has a ton of replay. I'm going to take this moment to try and describe the game to you:

Okay, LCS is a game where the USA is over run by conservatives who are trashing your liberal rights. You are a revolutionary hellbent on bringing this country into a new dawn or liberal extremism.

You have probably about twenty skills to look out for (driving, stealth, tailoring, etc.) and a few different stats and attributes to look out for. Heart, Intelligence, and among others, Juice! Juice is a sort of 'level' system. As you get more and more liberal, your skill cap moves up and you can recruit NPCs.

Oh, yeah, you can recruit from the dozens of NPC classes out there. You can try to seduce them, persuade them, or even kidnap and brainwash them! But watch out, police can try to raid your safe houses, and depending on the game mode, the evil Conservative Crime Squad may be on your tail, undermining your every move!
Story time?
My leader was setting up a mafia like organization. No illegal activity directly linked back to the boss. A layer of separation. Most of these people did petty crime until they could recruit. Then did busy work raising some liberal funds. (Oh yeah, the game talks like that: "Heal your conservative wounds? Increased liberal funds!, etc.")
Well, after enough time, we had a programmer join us, and they started hacking for the cause. Defacing sites, stealing files, etc. We sold those files for some cash and after all that, the programmer is able to recruit several liberal supporters.

In that group of supporters was one in particular. She was in a crime group. Doing raids on conservative locations such as the (not kidding) sweatshop (Garment factory). Well, after more than a dozen murders and several close calls, I notice something on her stat sheet:

"MISSING TEETH"
:rofl:
