New Games on the Horizon (the video game thread)

[Schneed10]

Is anybody besides me really into the Dragon Age series? New one coming in the fall, looks impressive. This will be the impetus for me to spring for the PS4:




Commentary from these nerds is excruciating, but if you can stand how annoying they are it's worth getting a close look at characters and gameplay:

Loved the first Dragon Age, but the second one left me with a very bad taste in my mouth. Despite that I am incredibly excited for Inquisition as it essentially looks like the first DA combined with Skyrim. Only thing that sucks is that same day is the new LOTR game which has the rpg nerd in me excited as well.

Interesting because I thought the second was a big upgrade in terms of character depth and game play.

I've been slowly working my way through Dragon Age Orgins for about two years now and I've absolutely loved it (current personal record for longest time to beat a game; Final Fantasy IX 13 Years, 2 Months, and 20 days)

For me personally its rare to get into a game thats middle aged/fantasy themed so it usually has to be pretty special to get my attention. Had to stop it for a while as it was kind of difficult for me without cheating but after learning how to use the terminal/console for cheats and installing dozens of mods I've come to appreciate this game even more.

With that said I still have a bad taste in my mouth from the Mass Effect 3 ending fiasco and I've heard very few positive things about Dragon Age 2 so I've had little motivation to try it. I am rooting for Bioware because they're just to talented to write off, and to this day Mass Effect 2 is my undisputed favorite game of all time. Not to mention great single player games are kind of like pitchers in baseball, you can never have too many.

In short I am very interested in Dragon Age Inquisition but I can't justify buying a Bioware game going forward until I see enough user reviews that confirm the game being up to par.

The Witcher 3 on the other hand I'll likely buy on Day 1 if for no other reason then CD Protjek Red are basically the video game industries version of Good Guy Greg.

PS Dirtbag you completely ruined Leliana, which is sacrilege. She's a babe and I love her just the way she is.

Have had Remember Me for a while now after getting it on sale for Steam earlier this year but only recently gotten around to play it. Can't necessarily speak for the rest of it but in terms of art work and color palette this might be the greatest I've come across in a video game. I even started using some of these pics as Desktop backgrounds.

These are actual in game screens taken off my computer.

In other news I bought a Watch Dogs voucher from Ebay last night for $43. The same ones that I'm guessing come with the $250 and up graphic cards as I did the same thing when Assasins Creed 4 came out, mainly in a panic move following the purchase of a second GTX 770 a week before they added AC4 to their bundle (got Arkham Orgins and Splinter Cell Blacklist).

The voucher worked great but UPlay, the platform needed to activate it on PC (even with Steam) was shockingly having server issues so it wasn't until just now that I was able to get a download going. To be fair its been downloading close to my max speed at around 2.0 MBps (emphasis on MB not Mb) still I'm tired of EA and Ubisoft either avoiding Steam or adding random conditions to their Steam games.

Anyway just figured I'd point out for anyone looking to get a decent discount on Watch Dogs for PC to search for Watch Dogs Nvidia Voucher on Ebay. If you're patient enough to bid you might get it anywhere from the mid $20's to the high $30's but being an impatient man myself I searched for people with reasonable 'Buy it Now' options. Either way kind of beats shelving out $60 on day 1 or waiting for it to go on sale.

Au contraire mon frere. I have improved her appearance ten fold though you have now inspired me to go even further and use this mod. Just remember you can always improve on perfection as seen in this clip from Everybody Loves Raymond. By the way if your wife or girlfriend is making you type that blink twice.



Oh and just for the sake of adding insult to injury I did this to Morig..Moragan...More....Claudia Blacks character.


Dirtbags phrase discount double check. Sponsored by no one because Sta...I mean that company still hasn't paid me for the last sponsor. In fact they even had the nerve to threaten to sue me for copyright infringement.
