It's definitely worth a tenner, I've clocked well over 100 hours on that game and will no doubt revisit for some more at some in the future.Johnlenham wrote:Borderlands 2 for £10.50.

Im tempted even though I recon my laptop wont handle it and if it does it will probably bloody overheat like a mofo.
Before you do anything, make sure your copy of skyrim is patched and up to date. Steam should already take care of thisbRRRz wrote:thanks, that'd be great! =)hugh wrote:Well the good thing about most of these mods is that they tend to impact very little on performance
I'll deffo talk you through how to set some of these up though, it's a tad daunting at first but once you get the hang of it it becomes very easy to do.

Mmmm I kind of agree but it is a very well made game. Not so much the gameplay/plot/features but the whole concept/appearance/technicalities. The lip sync is obviously amazing and I think the detective & interrogation parts are almost great. It took me about 5 hours of play to stop thinking of it as "GTA from the cops' perspective set in the 50s" by which time I'd kinda gotten bored of the detective game mechanics, as much as I did want to finish off the story. If they'd made the gameplay less linear, added in some side missions/distractions and more guns with opportunity to use them, it would be deserving of all the 9/10 reviews it got. I'd give it a 7 despite not completing it. It was certainly original, just not on the level it could and should have been, or as amazing as most reviews made it out to be. I picked it up 2nd hand for about £10 and viewed it as a technology showcase/bit of fun in the long run up to GTA V.Lucifa wrote: i thought it was fucking awful as a game.

Yea the gameplay seems incredibly shallow and repetitive, does it have those guys voice acting? cool.Lucifa wrote:no there is like two or three actors from mad men in itdeadly habit wrote:Yea I started playing that recently as well, and that's the setting imami.

I was impressed initially but even the mechanics are pretty shallow when it comes down to it. Basically just boils down to waiting for an obvious facial tell then selecting one of four options. 7/10 seems fair given it tried for something different, but i reckon the old 2D point 'n click games were a better game interpretation of detective novels.£10 Bag wrote:Mmmm I kind of agree but it is a very well made game.

From Mad Men: Ken Cosgrove, Harry Crane and that one that became a buddist are all in it. All the faces are modelled on the voice actors so theyre fairly recognisable.deadly habit wrote:]

FYI the first Assassin's Creed is considered like a 'tech demo' for the rest of the series. Each game from there on in refines the mechanics and add many more elements/possibilities. Stick with it, it gets incredible after the first one.cloquet wrote:speaking of repetitive games I started playing the first Assassin's Creed the other day. going from mgs 2 to that is just...
I'm enjoying it but it becomes incredibly samey, incredibly quickly. best thing about it is the historical context.

AAA titles tend to use professional actors in addition to normal voice actors for cast for some reason. Quick paycheck for the actors and it gets tv/movie critics to pay more attention to games.imami wrote:hah i see that ninja edit there
However, i don't think those shows are homages to film noir to be honest. Boardwalk is set in the 20s, it is about gangsters but the similarities end there i think. Madmen is set in the 60s/70s and is about advertising executives. Neither of the shows have much about them that is reminiscent of film noir in my opinion, besides some superficial similarities.
Either way it doesn't explain why they had to use the actors from the shows.. anyway it's an ok game, it's nice when people try something different instead of just churning out call of duty type games or whatever.
