Just finished it, great game. They strike a good balance between making the environments feel large and open with some good backtracking, while still being pretty guided throughout the game. Really dig the combat as well, feels a lot like Uncharted's blend of platforming/shooting, but I actually preferred it here. Love that they didn't include a cover system, made the fights feel much more dynamic and alive as she ducks when you're behind cover.

Completely agree with Rick that the QTE's are especially awful in this, since they're often in the designer mindreading category at least in the beginning.

Anyway, successful reboot IMO~

Crizzie, they basically got there in like 7-8 hours~has got to be the fastest funded game of this size on Kickstarter to date. Haven't supported it, but I'm definitely all for a new Torment game ~

Managed to get halfway through the tutorial, then I lost connection to the server, and now I can't get back in ._.

Confirms what everybody was expecting

Playing it at the moment, really liking it. Seems that I've just gotten to the part where it starts getting a bit more combat heavy tho, but it's still quite good, even I prefer the puzzle side of it~

If only it was just Origin, you also have to log into the SimCity servers to actually play. Those are totally gonna able to take the pressure when it launches

Bah, wont be out until Friday in Europe.

Not that it matters, since EA's servers will likely be completely fucked once they unlock it.

I'm ashamed to say that I still haven't played NS2. Just bought it though ~~

Confirmed. Had decided that I was absolutely done with this franchise after AC3, but this is actually making me very curious. I'd still rather have a Rockstar pirate game, but oh well.

Only thing that I enjoyed about AC3 was the naval combat, so this seems like a really good move. If they could make this work in an open world setting then it could be pretty fantastic, the AC3 naval combat was pretty fantastic but also clearly very segmented, would probably take a fair amount of work to make it work seamlessly.

Oh and if they just cut out the Animus stuff entirely I'd be even more interested~

Hah looks fun, I'm getting it!

Just finished Year Walk (iOS). Probably has the best "stay after the credits" moments that I've experienced in a game. Extremely atmospheric game even if it's super simple in it's execution, though as an adventure game it did get a little tiresome walking back and forth, trying to figure out how to proceed. That said, definitely recommend it if you're in the mood for a really creepy adventure game that has a few surprises up it's sleeve.

Oh and be sure to get the companion app as well, it actually serves a purpose.

Just saw Argo, best movie I've seen in ages~~

Kinda snarky, but pretty spot on.

Hehe, some pretty big wins for Sony there. Destiny and Diablo 3. A bit disappointed that they didn't show the actual machine, but I guess it's too early, even if it launches up to the holidays.

My highlights were probably The Witness and Watchdogs~
