+1

I'd rather not endorse stalkerware. =P

Been playing Mark of the Ninja a lot, it is a great game. Worth the 15 dollars, and it'll be a steal at any upcoming promo.

I can't wait until that game hits a sale. I love stealth games.

Yep, and other gaming websites, such as Raptr, require you to connect your account to Facebook to receive certain rewards. These are all ways for TrapWire to build its database of information about you.

First, the golden keys just give you free loot so you aren't really getting "more" out of the game by using them.

Of course if you really want to stick it to the man and not play into their social networking shenanigans:

Lets say you have at least 1 golden key. You could do something like backup your save files (my documents\my games\borderlands 2) then get into the game with a friend and open as many chests as you have keys. You need to either give all those items to the friend or drop them on the ground, otherwise you will lose them. After that you can go ahead and exit the game and then restore your previously created backup. The next time you get into the game, you'll have all your items, money, and golden keys - regardless of how many you dropped on the ground or gave to a friend. Essentially, you have infinite golden keys as long as you have 1.

If I am not mistaken they patched the game due to people performing those exact shenanigans.

If you have a controller, I'd recommend using it. The combat feels more natural (IMO) using a gamepad. But then again, I do most of my PC gaming with a controller. KBM only feels natural for FPS and RTS to me.

Speaking of, I finished Sleepy Dogs yesterday and had a blast with it. Looked fantastic, and I really dug the setting, atmosphere, and combat. I also started and finished Spec Ops: The Line, which was also very good. That game has some fantastic art direction. I love the visual design of the settings. The plot wasn't bad either, and was fairly compelling, but the twist was disappointing. Just the right length as well; any longer and it would start outstaying its welcome.

Now I just have to figure out what to play next...

This one must be dead, didn't work for me.

I so prefer stealth to run/gun/jump/gun/run/jump/etc

I can assure you this is not the case. They patched out the editing of a single file a while back but this method is still very much valid.

I hate using controllers for PC games. I was alright at hand to hand(spam right click, win), just gets tedious after a while

The thing that really pissed me off was that left and right wasnt strafe left and right, its walk left and right. I hate the game acting like Im using a damn analogue stick

I can imagine using a KB/M for Sleeping Dogs. Even the thought of having to right click during the melee is frustrating!

I finished it and BF3 (campaign) this weekend as well and sleeping dog's is by far easier with a controller (used Dualshock 3 as a 360 controller with MotionJoy). Anyways there was a twist in sleeping dogs???

The last guy you directly put in jail didn't surprise me at all considering what he said to Wei maybe a day or two before. Not to mention earlier actions of his in the game. That said the melee with a controller is good and the graphics are fantastic. played it maxed out with medium AA @ 1080p with its high res texture pack.


now its on to getting past the first two levels of Des Ex:HR. Always found it a bit boring.

I don't understand how anyone can have such disdain for controllers on pc games. I think it's a "oh noes, controllers are for console peasants, I'm to 1337 for that," perception thing. Some games just play better with a controller.

Only use Twitter/FB for music networking now. & talking about basketball.

& I prefer controller for everything especially if its 1st person.
But KB/M for RTS/Strategy/point'n'click. it doesn't make sense to use a controller for those obviously lol.

Keep going, it gets better. I am replaying it on pc just for the graphic bump (and to play it differently). also to drive everyone here nutz i am playing that with a controller 2.

'Better' is relative. Depends what you grew up playing/using. And, yes, I am a M+K elitist for life! That said, there are games I recognize that are pretty much designed for consoles and obviously play better with their 'native' input device. Of course, I rarely have any interest in those games in the first place.

You won't catch me playing MK series, SF series w/ a KB/mouse. Skip that madness!
Controller for brawler.

Also - I prefer controller for most sports games; racing games; & games w/ LOTS of platforming (Tomb Raider series, Psychonauts, AC series).

For shooters (FPS's, TPS's) and many kind of RPG's - mouse/keyboard for me.

I'm the same way.
