Preorder for PC (download)? $35

I know which one I'm doing! Heck - brotherhood is still $20 - or get the new one for $15 extra!

After bailing an hour in to the first one I'm just having a hard time with the idea of diving back in to the franchise. I know people keep saying how they fixed it. but... yeesh.

Once bitten.

The first Assassin's Creed is rough, the second is MUCH better....Brotherhood

Love Brotherhood, Revelations will be EPIC!

So Steam has a "Free to Play" weekend on Warhammer 40k dawn of war 2 "Retribution". Can't seem to get to it to try it, but they've been pretty good to me so far (40k strategy games) and the price deal is sweet, so if I can get to the free to play to demo it I may end up with it.

I still miss C&C Generals: Zero Hour for classic RTS goodness though

Bill86 · 10-14-2011, 03:14 PM

Trying Might and Magic VI out, we'll see. Looks alright, sadly though I was more impressed with the old school ones.

Yep.

Just like the old school game Heroes of Might and Magic.

I watched the MLG for Starcraft 2 this weekend. Idra's run was INSANE. I feel so bad for him that he had to play that many games back-to-back. He was playing fantastically but it got rougher as time went on...who knows what a break would have done for him

Gamefly (figured I would give it a shot) delivered Deus Ex:HR for the PS3. Been enjoying it - it reinforces the fact that I have no idea how to play a stealth game. So far my approach has been "hope to find enough ammo". I hit the first boss last night right before I hit the hay - guess I will pick it back up when I get home.

It's worth the wait. I consoled it and you know what, was worth every penny. I'm loving it so and with all the extra content, side quests, riddler challenges, etc, i'm going to be at it for a long time

Well that makes me feel a bit better. Still I hate the different day releases, makes no sense to me.

you should see how I play the Hitman games

I'm definitely no silent assassin

I've seen so many mass murderer ratings it's not even funny. I just suck at the stealth.

I've got to get Arkham city

madwilliamflint · 10-17-2011, 03:24 PM

God I love stealth games. One of my favorite things to do (in context) is play Crysis on Delta with the added goal of "zero enemy shots fired." (for human enemies.) I spend a lot of time hiding in the bushes sniping into mobs then retreating into hiding.

The Thief games were awesome.

I need MOAR!

Apoco · 10-19-2011, 07:20 AM

I've been sticking with FF7 lately. I got to about the middle of disc 3 when I was younger...then my game corrupted. I'm about half way through what would be disc 1 now.

Still have Deus Ex: HR that I'm slowly wittling my way through.

I wasn't a huge fan of Arkham Asylum - albeit I only played 3-4 hours of it. Just wasn't my thing

Oh well, to each their own I suppose.

Apoco · 10-20-2011, 11:04 AM

Has anyone looked into "Dungeon Defenders" on the PC? Looks like a fun game.

I keep looking at that on Steam. I ended up deciding against it. They kept hitting the "you and N friends..." button, which shuts me out of it.

Looks like I'm shutting down most gaming until SWTOR comes out though. It's sucking my life out. Unsubbed from all my mmos, Deleted all my steam games other than Mass Effect 1&2.

I've been noodling with Glitch. Cute idea but a little slow and 2d for me. (http://glitch.com/)
