"one youtuber"

talking about the prolly most known esports guy there is (or was.. :D), beeing the only one in the top 20 of gaming when it comes to earnings that didnt play dota/warcraft/starcraft but instead shooters. featured in articles and reportages in foxnews, mtv, times magazine and maybe the first guy that made a living by gaming alone.

nice trolling, sir! :D

[edit]
if you are looking for alpha footage with guys that actually knows how to play and move in this game, check this out.

i think its far closer to what we can expect this game to look like than watching "can barely move fatal1ty" vs "has never played fps before" random victim
theres additional content in hypnos channel with movement demonstrations and so on

even tho i played both im sure ill get both in redux versions just to support the cause. not so sad that they will not be on linux right of the go, since i already played them & im waiting for new cpu/gpu generations anyway to get a proper rig (14nm cpus and 16/20nm gpus)

instead of an exclusive release they could bundle halflife3 with their first generation of steamboxes

Quoting: scainee.g. NV, BL2, sure, but also Baldur's Gate 2, Neverwinter Nights 2, Portal 2, Sanctum 2, The Witcher 2, Crysis 2, HalfLife 2, Metro 2033, DOTA2, Just Cause 2. So, yeah. And those are just from my Steam games list. There are probably other, older games like Descent 2 and Dungeon Keeper 2 that I have lying around somewhere in box form.

call me crazy but for most of your list i also disliked the 2nd one in comparison to the first. they were not bad games at all but just didnt have the "wow" effect of the first game at all but were merly gutless successors to their inspiring and innovative parents (especially true for portal2, borderlands2, NV, and crysis2).

to keep it ontopic i didnt feel like borderlands 2 was much of an improvement over borderlands 1. the pc controlls were worse due to more focus on consoles which was particularly evident in the bad inventory that sometimes wouldnt even register mouseclicks. of course it was better in many aspects and just.. more of everything that was good about borderlands1. but thats what i would expect off an addon (and i rarely buy those) and not of a new game. i literally hate what is done in the Fifa series or CoD and i feel like this is happening here all over again. i see that third installment of borderlands and all i can think of how good having a fresh engine and new characters to interact with for a successor feels. i dont expect something to turn into a racing game all of the sudden but i expect something to happen like it did in halflife2, oblivion, skyrim, fallout3 when i shall spend full prize on a game.

Quoting: scaineMan, that's a shame. NV had a great story and quests. It was a massive step up from Fallout 3.

BL2 is a similar huge jump from BL1 if not bigger - not sure what your objection is to the inventory system... it's been over a year since I played it but don't remember any inventory-related annoyances.

If this happens, I'd love to see a Metro-style redux for BL1/2. I'd buy both games again, happily.

i guess sequels just dont work for me, especially if they use the same engine. when i play and finish a game i get the satisfying feeling that its completed and i can move on. its like watching a a good movie that for some $ reason needs a successor no matter what - i cant tell any example where i thought "good thing they made a 2nd one right afterwards" unless it was meant to be like that right off the start like in starwars or lotr.
i have not enjoyed fallout2 after fallout1, not kotor2 after kotor1, not dragonage2 after 1 and so on.. the list is endless. i just feel like i would touch something again without any need that i didnt leave uncompleted. that might not be the case for others, im pretty sure of that - but for me it is. it totally works tho when the game is done new from the scratch like the elder scrolls series does it.
