[QUOTE="Laser_Hunter"]So just finished playing about two hours of GTA4... the coolest part of the game is definitely the city and how it actually makes you feel like one citizen out of thousands. Laser_Hunter

Yeah I loved that about the game. Only if they had added all those side-activities from San Andreas. Would have been pretty cool.

The massive country areas of San Andreas. Complete with four-wheelers, ATVs, dirtbikes, 18 wheelers, tractors, mountain paths and cliffs to skydive off of :P

After playing for months mainly on the PC, I don't think too highly of console aiming anymore. That analog stick just doesn't compare.anime_gamer007

FPS? Yeah I can see that

So.. Deus Ex HR is pretty damn long, guys. I haven't done any backtracking since the beginning, so pretty much all of my Steam time is actual playtime. Take out the estimated 5 hours I spent backtracking, throw in another hour just to account for loading, and I'm looking at 30 hours. I'm not even done yet! I just got off a boat in what I believe is the last area. I'm close to the end, right?

The reason it takes me so long is that I am VERY thorough. I try to leave no stone unturned. I discover every vent, knock out every wall, take out all the guards, hack all the computers... even if it all leads to the same objective. I'm an obsessive completionist. :P

I thought Thane was a pretty cool character. I always enjoyed his conversations. I don't think I ever once used Legion in battle but people keep saying he is really good. Never used Wrex either or the Asari. My team was usually comprised of Thane, Garrus, Miranda and Jacob. I just switched them out whenever I felt like it.

Interesting read (especially from IGN)...especially the Microsoft policy on Arcade games.

Wow.. How does the best Breaking Bad episode barely have Walt in it... I'd say that was possibly the best single episode of any show I have every seen.. Next Sunday plz MethodManFTW

You make me want to watch it :P

So far the Dead Island reviews I'm seeing make it sound freaking amazing. Can't wait. :DMrSelf-Destruct

I never realized there was first person view and additional difficulty settings on the PC version of Star Wars: Battlefront. It's like playing a whole new game. The only thing that sucks about it is that the AI are worse than the console versions, the can't pilot any aircraft.LightR

First person view was available in the console versions as well. I used it for a while and then just switched back to regular.

I never doubted it :D. Looks like you can get a load of hours out of the game.

So, playing around with this Deus Ex debug menu, I discovered that the DLC weapons that were given through Gamestop are in the game. I now have them all. Thank you modders. MrSelf-Destruct
