In a good way?

[hasdgfas]

Just starting Batman: Arkham Origins.

Starting Dark Souls shortly as well, and those will be my two projects for a while.

[Untrod Tripod]

played through Katamari Damacy this weekend. What a great game.

[JJcoolPants]

Bravely Default is really good and everyone should play the demo

[Sudo_Nym]

Lee is Bluebeard. I was wondering when that voice would show up. Not like it's mistakable.

I didn't figure out what story he was supposed to be from - am I missing something obvious?

Spoiler: The Wolf Among Us Ep2

I'm glad they de-glamoured the body quickly. As soon as Snow mentioned that might be the solution, I was settling in to have to question whether or not she was the real Snow until the very last episode.

I spent the whole episode trying to place that voice. Fuck.

[xRECKONERx]

oh shit Ep2 is out?

There goes my afternoon

[ChannelDelibird]

There goes my afternoon

Not all of it. It's short.

[inspiratieloos]

Democracy 3 is on sale on Steam, it looks interesting.

Anyone have it?

Bluebeard's a French folk-tale, about a pirate who uses his wealth to attract women, and then murders them on the honeymoon.

Spoiler:

And yeah, that's exactly what I was thinking; that the living Snow might be an imposter. I've read the first eight trades, so I would have been surprised, but I figured making up an alternate universe for their games wouldn't be beyond Taletale.

Oddly, once the glamor started failing, my first thought is that somebody was trying to destroy Snow White's reputation, with the track marks and such- that Ichabod figured out that Snow was after his job, and wanted to come up with an excuse to fire her. Turns out I had the right culprit for the wrong reason.

[xRECKONERx]

Just finished episode two:

Spoiler:

Didn't see the "SNOW WHITE IS ALIVE" thing coming at all, but kinda called Crane being the bad guy.

All of the "decisions" in this episode felt weak and irrelevant, though. Kinda disappointed that none of them actually seemed to matter that much (that, and I apparently picked the same thing the vast majority of people did in every situation).

I picked up the first trade of the series, but I kinda want to hold off until I finish the game in case I spoil something. Really enjoyed it though. I think I have a soft spot for Bigby as a character.

[ChannelDelibird]

Aw, Sudo dude, don't spoil me for the comics. That's kind of a hint about who may or may not make it out of the game alive.

[Chevre]

Path of Exile opinions?

[xRECKONERx]

wildstar beta yeeeeeeeeeee

[Mr. Flay]

Path of Exile opinions?

It's maturing into its own game and not just

Fuck Diablo III: The Hatening

. I enjoy the design choices they've made with making EVERYTHING modular, it allows you to craft more or less exactly what you want to run (the old "dwarf mage" concept from D&D, for comparison). It does lead to some decision paralysis on builds though, because there's like 189454789787665478564783 ways to do everything.

Orbiting and I both play pretty often (and I've donated, about half what I paid for D3 and have gotten several times as much enjoyment). The new final boss fight is some

bullshit

though, balance is sort of a gazelle on the hoof in a game with that many options.

Also, it contains my favorite patch note of all time.

Spoiler: Of All Time

We don't know anything about those Fishing Rods that spawned over the weekend, but they're gone now.

[xRECKONERx]

Did nobody else get an invite to the Wildstar stress trest?

[GreyICE]

I refuse to do betas. I'll pay for finished games, and that's that.

I like doing

free

betas to help out the devs and give them my thoughts on how to improve the game and/or find bugs.

[GreyICE]

Nope. Not worth my time anymore. I've done the beta dance, watched good feedback be ignored, or mixed with bad. I no longer believe devs use Beta for gameplay feedback. Look at Wildstar. It's launching in what, a few months, they'll overhaul the gameplay or something?

No, it's just a technical test. I'm not spending my time dealing with hardware issues.

Note: Xenonauts has been in beta nearly a year, has incorporated multiple gameplay fix suggestions, and is an amazing game. All rules have an exception, but an AAA title ain't gonna be it.

I'm with GI. Admittedly, paid betas are particularly obnoxious, but even free betas aren't worth my time.

Also, Sid Meier Humble bundle is a pretty good deal if you don't already have Civ 5 (or, as in my case, you have Civ 5 but none of the DLC). $15 for stuff with Brave New World, $10 for all but Brave New World (including Pirates, which I thought was a fun game). Anything at all for Civ 3 and 4.
