@ eric, buy the civ expansion pack, its on sale $15

all dlc is half off as well, i might buy a civ or two

actually you can upgrade from civ 5 to civ 5 GOTY for 10 dollars, which includes

All 4 Cradle of Civilization Map Packs (Mediterranean, Asia, Americas, Mesopotamia)
Civilization Pack: Babylon (Nebuchadnezzar II)
Double Civilization and Scenario Pack: Spain and Inca
Civilization and Scenario Pack: Polynesia
Civilization and Scenario Pack: Denmark - The Vikings
Explorer’s Map Pack
Official Digital Soundtrack (Soundtrack not available on the Mac)

might be buying the maps

probably same, but this deal is good until jan 5

bl 2 funpack anyone?

id also recomend ns2 for $10 to anyone/everyone

ill wait until next year some time when its $14.99 instead

so should I do this or the upgrade to g & k? Or, I can do one now and the other next Fri.

And buy you one of them next Fri to at least start to pay you back.

g&k is more important, the extra shit is just in case you want to be able to play even more new civs, and scenarios

@joe, launch options -intro:off -w

how long is the sale, i might get sim city 4?

ends in 27 hours

We're going to have to play Civ 5 if we are bored one night.

gotta love old games

having not played a sim city since 1995 or so, this is awesome

i bought sim city 4, cant play it on mac so have to wait until i get back from fl

oh well, installing Civ on my mac so i can give it a whirl when im bored

only those liberal hollywood types use macs

in my young city it seems all they want is farm land
exciting city we have here
and the driving missions lol

i tax agriculture to death so the demand goes down

random game crash number 1, hope it autosaves!
and thats a good idea, i had a nice bustling city of 10k with a fuck ton of farm land. fun stuff though.

purchased saints row 3 and what appears to be approximately 1 billion DLCs included for $7.50

darksiders 2 review after the first 1 hour of play

first impression, this is absolutely a forced sequel, but seems pretty true to the first
its also very apparent that it was rushed to release, dumb shit like subtitles that are way different from what the dialogue is actually saying
its a console port with no effort taken to change any of the interfaces for pc, the coding is bad as it requires you to basically pause the entire game, open up a full screen interface menu to do anything

all of that is all and fine, shit to be expected with any modern game that isnt a aaa premium title

theres an item system thats awkward to deal with and seems so very tightly controlled by the devs that they are giving you exactly an item every x amount of minutes/monsters so that you can progress through the storyline at the same difficulty level throughout the game without having to develop any skill or tactics

the dlcs apparently are just a ton of gear that requires level 5 (2 hours after starting the game), and i will assume will be obsolete by level 10, so hey, spend extra money and get one of these 3 free full sets of gear that youll use for an hour

the story is typical of any game, (holy shit i dont care about any of these characters, who cares whats going on, i have no motivation to keep going)

just feeling like being force fed a pile of shit game that does nothing to entertain other than mindlessly slashing an enemy 9 times to kill it, then moving on to the next enemy, then killing some bosses who have 1 move and no identity

no wonder thq is going down the shitter

hour 2/3 insight: the combat is getting more involved and difficult which makes it a bit more interesting, i still dont like the dialogue/quests much

customizing/buying new moves is good, but i think you start out with way too many combos available to you, i would rather each weapon be dynasty warriors-style where you start with 3 combo and work your way up to 7 combo/special moves/etc

update; hit level 5, equipped my full set of dlc gear that does nothing other than trivialize the next x minutes of gameplay because im an unstoppable killing machine, on the highest difficulty

every thread is potentially subject to become a randomtask diary thread

on the road to 70k
