I gave up after an hour or so. I like platformers, but this one was a bit... frantic for me.

Why have I not bought this game yet? :'( Oh, right. Money. Christmas sales maybe?

Looks really fun though, and I'm not the least bit competitive. I've been bored by every single sports game since the original Sensible Soccer.

I'm really exited for this one. Mad Max has been at the top of my Steam wishlist since the port was first announced. But for now I really need to get on with Shadow of Mordor and then get started on Saints Row IV to make room in my sandbox-action queue.

Quoting: swickDid all of that change or are you just again shilling for Feral?

All of those problems are technical. I doubt Liam would play the game so much if he hated it.

I have an excuse not to own CoH2 though: I don't like RTS games.

Quoting: BeamboomIt's NOT just about opinion. It's about experience and insight into what's being reviewed, the ability to place the product in the right spot in a landscape of that category. To see BEYOND personal opinion and be able to communicate the essence of the product reviewed so that the audience can make their own decisions.

Sounds nice but means very little.

No entertainment review can ever be truly objective, unless you ignore anything beyond technical qualities. And that's not very useful. Game reviews are not that different from music or film reviews in this sense. You'll just have to find reviewers whose taste is similar to yours.

Show me an IT pro who doesn't and I'll show you a liar.

Quoting: HalifaxOMG, you're kidding, right? ;-)

Maaaybe, who knows. ;P I'm not out to put you down in any way, that I promise. In fact, I have no idea why I keep derailing this thread. Sorry, OP! (This conversation would work better in a pub, but I might just end up with a black eye.)

Quoting: HalifaxObjectify women? I have sacrificed so much of my life to be there for women - that is so funny. You've read a demon you imagined into my words.

No demons, man. Just positively harmful, slightly creepy attitudes and speech patterns. Natural extensions of our cultures' (or species'?) patriarchal background, probably, but still worth leaving behind. I don't think you're evil or anything. We've all got our faults. Wouldn't know where to start counting mine.

Quoting: Halifax...and I absolutely have a challenge dealing with the silly things they think I should be getting and don't.

I'd bet their challenge dealing with that attitude trumps yours, easily.

Quoting: HalifaxSometimes, X GF's and wives have hummed lullabies in quiet moments, there's a brief moment where I think I understand, and then it's gone.

I'm not sure anyone can ever truly and completely understand another person, regardless of sex. And that's okay. Unique snowflakes, blah blah, wouldn't want to be a psychologist. I think we're okay as long as we make an effort to be a decent person and treat everyone, regardless of gender, age, race, religion or operating system (gasp) with some respect.

But maybe we should consider this discussion over? We're so off topic it hurts.

Looks nice. Reminds me of Dust: An Elysian Tail quite a lot for some reason, and that's never a bad thing.

Quoting: tuubiAlthough the realisation that women are people like you--just with slightly different anatomy--is often a hard pill to swallow.

That is a quite judgmental assessment of where I'm coming from. Just thought it was humorous and applied to my earlier comments. Every guy in the bar started having more fun when I made it clear we were permanently changing the music. I had guys literally coming up, handing me more money and thanking me.

The story had nothing to do with my "judgment". If it quacks like a duck, swims like a duck, objectifies women like a duck, it's probably a chauvinist duck.

Actually I was just pushing your buttons in a rare trollish moment, and assumed your posts must be at least 50% provocation, but the fact that you don't seem to realise what I'm talking about is a bit depressing. Hint: Every time you mention a woman of the opposite sex (heh, Allo' Allo' cracks me up), they're either objects of sexual attraction, objects of condescension, objects of whatever. Objectifying people is not nice.

Well that came out a bit condescending, sorry about that.
