The DLC stuff is a misconception people have. When SR4 was announced it was made to sound like they were taking the Enter the Dominatrix DLC and spinning it off into a full game, which wasn’t actually the case – SR4 was already in development separately, and that DLC was just rolled into it. But for a lot of people that sentiment stuck.
Both games use the same engine and have similar graphics and stuff, but that’s not enough to warrant such a comparison. I don’t know where the hell people are pulling shit about the menus though, that’s just bullshit.

I just hear a lot of 'SR4 is just SR3 DLC...' kinda stuff. I even heard they didn't bother creating new menu graphics.
It was originally intended as DLC but they quickly realised that this was big enough to be it's own standalone game. This was even before THQ was sold off so it was quickly determined to be a stand alone product.
SR4 has been getting very good reviews and there are some great funny Let's Plays out there. Such as Guude and BDoubleO's LP.
Although sprinting really fast makes cars sort of useless, it looks like a fun game and I will definitely get it when it becomes cheap.
Lately I've been playing Tekken Tag Tournament 2 on the Wii U, Rebelstar Tactical Command on GBA, Zafehouse Diaries, Rogue Legacy, Dishonored and Assassin's Creed Revelations (Still one of my favourite games of all time).
My only experience with the Tomb Raider games up to now were the PS1 ones; and I really didn't enjoy them at all. The gameplay to me didn't feel right, and was awkward to play. Looking back on them now, they have aged terribly, at least at a graphical stand point.
Anyway, I got Tomb Raider when I saw it for 75% off on a random whim.
I do not regret my decision.
This game is wonderful. The gameplay is polished to almost perfection, it's so fun. It's also an graphical achievement. The world, the textures, the models, particles. Everything is beautiful. I was blown away by how much the game can throw at you without it losing too many frames. I'm also a sucker for water effects and by god this game has probably the best ever.
My only nitpick is the quick time events. I'm not saying they are bad, I'm just not a fan of the mechanic in general, especially when it's really unneeded *CAUGH*RE5*CAUGH*
Tomb Raider looks fun 'n all, but I wonder why they had her moan so much.
Anyway, C&C Tiberian Sun has been officially free for 2 years, and I didn't know until now. Yay, more nostalgia. Yes it's as camp and cheesy as games got back in the late 90s, but I still love the atmosphere. Fun little RTS even if the gameplay could've done with a lot of streamlining.
E: Runs seemingly okay in Win 7 by changing compatibility to Windows 98. You can change the resolution values in the "sun.ini" file to play in higher than 800x600.
I finally installed DirectX. Some registry files were missing and when I set the correct values it installed. The new Amnesia is horrifying.
There's a lot of slowdown though, even when everything's on the lowest quality settings. What else can I do about that?

Because she's falling off cliffs, getting shot at, beaten up, swimming in pools of blood, and jumping around falling buildings and structures. Wouldn't you moan...?
Oh wait, I just got it.
hehehee

Or get a Mac.
If he doesn't have the money for a normal, cheap computer. I think an overpriced glossy one is out of the question.

I remember once upon a time I was really hyped for Assassin's Creed when the first was about to come out and had been ultra hyped for awhile but then it came out and my dad hoarded it, saying no one else in the house was allowed to play until he platinumed it, but never platinumed it so it took until AC3 was about to come out he was finally like "YEAH SURE YOU CAN PLAY IT" but by that time I was the exact opposite of hyped so I played maybe 30 minutes of it before putting it down and never picking it back up.
If someone gives me £25 for GTA V I will film myself eating cat shit. Or whatever you want me to do. I want that fucking game.
I'm very tempted to take you up on that offer. But I'd have to think of something else I'd have you do. Anyone have any suggestions that do not involve hurting him or eating disgusting stuff? I'm thinking about having him sing and dance a Justin Bieber song and putting it on YouTube. And he better remember the lines!

I reckon GTA V is the most hyped game ever. At least in recent years anyway. I literally cannot get away from it.
The launch for GTA IV was about equally big. Launch day was an intense happening, everyone was super hyped. It's impressive that Rockstar managed to do it a second time.

Sounds like my dad. He says he'll be the first to play New 'n' Tasty when it comes out. I'm basically thinking, "Yeah, and when you die on the very first screen, then its my turn."
But seriously, that sucked.
Not really fair if you ask me.
On topic; I'm still currently playing Red Dead Redemption. The release of GTAV won't stop me from going back and playing RDR for a while.

But it won't work well if he actually listens to him and likes the songs.
Playing through Resident Evil 4 again. I haven't played any of the "true" RE games, but I can safely call this one of my favourite games of all time. It just does everything so right, and can be pretty scary at times. Mostly the hedge maze. Those fucking dogs.
