Ok, I guess I'll finally try my hand at one of these.
One hour into: Bulletstorm

I tried the demo and hated it. After finishing the game twice, I have to acknowledge that it's one of my favorite FPS games.
I think that really sunk in the second time I got to Waggleton P. Tallylicker and still found it hilarious.

That moment specifically was king of cringe-worthy for me, but the sequence leading up to it was one of the coolest things I've done in recent gaming memory.

I think my brain just meshed the ridiculous, over-the-top gameplay with the ridiculous, over-the-top dialogue. They just went together SOOOO well.
But at the present time, we don't know when GFWL is going to go dark. It could be around for years. MS has backed off shutting it down this summer.
The only bad thing about Bulletstorm is GFWL.
I now want that game, but made well. I love the idea but execution is everything.
I want doubtingthomas to play more terrible games.
imagine Wolfman Jack* on Valium finding out that his last box of ring-dings is empty.

Sounds like the next funding project for Goojers to focus on during the Winter Summer Sale...

If that happens I will create a category in steam solely for this purpose.
I shall call it "kill it with fire!"
Surely you mean "The roof is on fire."
Hrm, Runespell Overture sounds like something I'd love on my iPad for my commute to and from work. I've fallen deep on Fairway Solitaire lately, and this seems to scratch the same itch.
I really don't think I could get past the visuals in Hard Truck Apocalypse/Ex Machina... I got upset when, at a pivotal, emotional scene in Brothers, I saw a UV seam in the character model. It took me right out of the scene.
I'm not a graphics guy per se... but I do notice lazy texturing and UV'ing in games.
Game: Far Cry 2

TL;DR;
Has not aged well at all, but I can see why some folks were disappointed with Far Cry 3
Long Review:
I've only been part of the PC Master Race for a little over a year now, and one of my favorite experiences has been playing Far Cry 3. But this review is about its predecessor - Far Cry 2. The general consensus in the FC3 thread here is that both are great games, and after 90 minutes of play into FC2, I can totally see it.
FC2 was originally released in October 2008, and the last 6 years have not been kind. The textures and meshes have never been updated, but thankfully there's support for a wired Xbox controller. You'll just have to figure out what each button does, and don't even try to re-map anything. And for a run-n-gun open-world kind of FPS, the gunplay is a little loose.
But there's a solid core here - I can see why there's so much contention of the "failure" of FC3. There's a system for purchasing weapons and upgrades, a "buddy" system, and once you're through the tutorial it's up to you which order you want to go through missions for the two sides of the conflict. There's "cease fire" zones, where your character relaxes their weapons. I'm getting vibes of Yojimbo/A Fistfull of Dollars/Last Man Standing, and totally expect that I have to continue playing both sides against each other to get to The Jackal.
But seriously, the immersion in this game is pretty awesome. I just wish there was an HD remake.
Will you keep playing? Most likely, at least for a few more hours.
Dark Souls rating On a scale of 1 to Dark Souls, I give it a 2 so far. There's certainly some system mastery going on here, but side-by-side with FC3, it doesn't hold a lantern.
I just want to stress that I'm really enjoying this thread, and that I'm thrilled to read all these reviews.
I find it somewhat odd to hear how horrible 2008 graphics have become, when I just re-installed my old Doom and Quake wads using the fan-enhanced executables and was enjoying myself quite nicely.
Weird.
Well, that's the thing - apparently the CryEngine doesn't take kindly to mods. From a quick search, it sounds like there's loaders you can use that wrap the executable, but all they can do is inject in some different shaders and graphics settings - nothing can change the fact that you have super low-res textures and meshes :/
I'll spend a little more time in it, because I can see some greatness.

And by greatness you mean burning fields of tall, dry grass with baddies flailing their arms while being burned alive.

And pulling bullets out of your arm with a leatherman!
And this is why people think FC2 is better than FC3. In FC3, you get better graphics, BUT only 1/3rd of these features!
