Is that Red Dead bundle worth 13.99 without the other DLC? I'll probably get Dead Island just b/c of how cheap it is. Anything else worth grabbing?bond wrote:Pretty rad sale starts on PSN later today for North American folks:

This might actually motivate me to play it. The bosses made me quit even though the original Deus Ex is one of my favorite games of all time and seeing that they're reworked I might actually have fun! Having to think about being able to take down the next boss took all my fun away.Soma. wrote:Deus Ex: Human Revolution Director's Cut ships today. I landed it for $5 due to a -75% deal for those who already own DE:HR and the Missing Link DLC. Should be a hoot.
Generally, agreed. Every time I faced a room (or building!) full of enemies, I'd spend a few minutes examining my surroundings to decide whether stealth was the best option, and if it wasn't, I'd have to locate cover ahead of time to make sure I survived the ensuing firefight. Then, for the boss fights, I loaded up on health packs and shots my biggest gun in the direction of any movement or noise.It just dididn't feel like the same game.Soma. wrote:The boss battles were definitely the low point, but I was so hooked on the rest of the gameplay that I had to persist. I must have hacked every terminal and computer in that whole game. Also the police station ended up with its air ventilation system full of bodies. Whoops.
I'm nervous that the review embargo isn't until release day. That's usually not a good sign, but sometimes it doesn't matter.scrub12 wrote:New Batman on Friday. I'm excited and nervous at the same time. Different developer, although they're using the same base as the game. It's just that Akrham Asylum and Arkham City were so amazing, it's going to be hard to live up too.
I hope Rocksteady is developing a new Batman game for the next gen systems.
And less than a month until the next gen systems come out. I've got my day one XBox One ordered and excited to get it.

The fact that these games are brief is my favourite thing about them. I don't have the patience for an RPG so, speaking as a non-gamer, these were perfect. It was like they mixed the expansive "universe" of a newschool game with the smaller challenges of an oldschool platformer / puzzle game.Mike wrote:Ico was pretty cool but kinda samey throughout. It' short length was appropriate.
SOTC is fantastic. 11 colossi are down, so I'm through the game soon.
