Check point only save earns the game a pretty bad black mark from me.

This. Fun, but man does this suck.

This sucks... especially since you don't have it in Bioshock 1 and 2 on the PC version

More rumors


-Always on
-Must install to Hard drive.  Unable to play from disk
-Anti-used game features (if this comes to past then Sony will win this gen) Another thought is that Xbox might see more exclusive from Devs as this is a feature they want

Double XP weekend in SWTOR and I'm close to the end with my Seth Warrior so I'll play that

Bioshock on the PC as Steam gave me a copy for preordering Bioshock: Infinite

Almost done with the Sith Warrior story line in SWTOR, so I'll finish that, 

Might fire up MWO, but I doubt it.  Might play around in the testing grounds

Would the interface for this work well with touch/pen only? I have the Surface Pro and it strikes me as a game that could easily enough be played in tablet mode, and I can't possibly have enough of those.

I haven't tried it on my Iconia W700 yet..   guess I should load it up

Anyone playing this latest iteration? How does it feel compared to 2012? It's on sale on Steam right now for 50% off ($20) and if there was enough interest I figured we might be able to get a league going using the new multiplayer features (where you can just play games using teams, not having to do the entire game with transfers etc). Any other addicts out there?

Currently, the manager of the Tottenham Hotspurs and lying 4th on the table.   It's worth the price of the upgrade especially at that price point.  Haviing a staff that can manage other areas of your team is huge.

So, for people who are more knowledgeable about Space Hulk than I am, what edition of the game is this based on? Based on what I know, there's been three different editions. I believe I own the second one, where the only enemy is regular Genestealers. I have the impression that at least one of the other versions also features different breeds of Genestealers, such as the Magus. Am I correct? Which version(s) is that? Do we know if these things will be in this version?

I hope this does well so we can get some kind of sequel that has us fighting Chaos Space Marines too. Those were terrifying in the second Space Hulk computer game. I never could get through the first mission where you encounter them, as even one of them alone was enough to slaughter an entire team of Space Marines in Terminator armor.

I'm no expert, but from the RTS games I thought the Terminator armor dudes were the uber of the uber.  Wouldn't they mop up a Chaos marine?

Terminators are veteran unit in a Space Marine Chapter, but most Chaos Space Marine Chapters will have chaos Terminators along with other nasty things.

Still not sure how I feel about this series.  I read the novels and I imagine they will need to change somethings to make it fit for TV like the changes to Walking Dead.   I'll tune in, but I don't have high hopes

where 360 at least had a year to establish itself, meant that PS3 was always behind in the race.

It did catch up eventually though. The PS3 lifetime sales are higher than the ones for the 360.

Maybe, I'm not remembering this correctly, but Lara prior to this reboot was none of these things you stated above.  This is the beginning of the story for her, so I wouldn't expect her to act any differently than this telling.

The only time I even alluded to the older Tomb Raider games above was when I mentioned using tits to sell a female character. Otherwise those games are irrelevant to this discussion, as you point out. You're missing the point though. She's acting in a way that is entirely inconsistent with how male protagonists are portrayed in games (except Far Cry 3, to a certain degree), which leaves the question of why Lara Croft should be singled out to be the crying, regretful, vulnerable and tortured one. The only answer I can come up with is "because she's a woman". It's the only thing that sticks out anyway.

That most gamers aren't very good at noticing stuff like this is alarming enough in itself. I can't claim to speak for women, but I'd be surprised if most female gamers who see this game don't react with distaste.

Lee - The Walking Dead Series?   I understand your point now , but I think the medium is getting better with character portrayals.

I get the feeling when watching videos from this game that it's way more exploitive of women than games that mainly present women as love interests or sex objects. Why is it that we have game after game of tough, muscular men fighting their way through hundreds of enemies while blurting out one-liners and showing no emotional trauma whatsoever, but when we get one of those rare games that feature a woman in the main role, she screams from pain, cries tears, nearly gets raped, gets regret from killing anything at all, and lacks any sense of humor to keep it all at a distance?  I get the impression that the developers are trying to send us a message, but the only message I'm receiving is that they're sexist. It's completely draining me of any interest I may have had in playing this game.

Maybe, I'm not remembering this correctly, but Lara prior to this reboot was none of these things you stated above.  This is the beginning of the story for her, so I wouldn't expect her to act any differently than this telling.


Now, I will admit that the industry as a whole is sexist, but I like the way they are rebooting this series

edit- prior to the reboot she was hyper realistic.  Those breast size really  Roll Eyes
