Yeah, Gold on Nuuvem is $45 but LatAm locked.

Still no real word on the cost of the season pass but even at full price I suspect NVIDIA code + season pass will be allot cheaper than buying Gold from anywhere else.

I pretty much need the season pass to be worth 50 bucks for the deal I got to be as good as the NVIDIA key. (I assume will see The Division keys for 25.)

Dragon's Dogma is better than Witcher 3 in every way.

Transformers Devastation is a more hardcore, deeper, and all-around better action RPG with better boss fights than Dark Souls 1.

I hope this is a joke. Dragon's Dogma is not even half as good as Witcher 3 and there's a reason Witcher 3 got all of the GOTY awards and Dragon's Dogma didn't.

Transformer Devastation I wouldn't classify as an RPG. It has level up systems but it's really short and more of an action game like Bayonetta.

 
I never joke. Witcher 3 is an incredibly boring and mediocre game. It isn't half as good as DD.

And TD has just as many RPG mechanics as Dark Souls does.

DDDA is amazing compared to the overhyped Witcher 3 (which got awards because it was...as already stated, overhyped).

You're opinion is terrible and wrong

Witcher 3 - 93%

DDDA - 77%

I'm going to avoid using the word "hipster" again because I hate labels but that is what this reminds me of, when they only like unknown bands that no one has heard of to "go against the grain". Same thing with this. Witcher 3 is the clearly better made game, all the reviews agree with this but it's cooler to act like something popular sucks.

i'm not the biggest dragon's dogma fan (i think it's alright and interesting, but i got sick of it after about 40 hours) but using metacritic scores as the sole proof one game is better than another isn't necessarily the best method.

so far both sides are making terrible arguments

side 1: witcher 3 is "boring and overhyped." gives no specific evidence as to why this is

side 2: witcher 3 is better because i say so and because review scores say so. no specific evidence as to why it's better

No. The opinion was a conclusion reached from a set of premises. One of these premises is false, so therefore the conclusion is wrong. It has nothing to do with the content of the conclusion, because it could be true, and everything to do with the premises. You can't have a sound conclusion if one or both of the premises are untrue.

You could apply the reasonable person argument to the conclusion, and ask if a reasonable CAG would deem Witcher 3 and Dragon's Dogma classic games. It's somewhat like what they use to determine if something is sexual harassment. What's sexual harassment to you and what's sexual harassment to me may be two completely different things, but the law applied a "reasonable woman" standard to cases to determine if sexual harassment has taken place.

 
Well, I had 130hrs in DD:DA and got bored with W3 fairly early in so I can say that DD:DA was certainly more fun than W3.  Whether or not it's "better", eh, they compete on different grounds.  W3 is certainly prettier and has more RPG options but it also turned into a dull tedious slog in the city and made me lose interest in it.  DD:DA's combat was more entertaining and I never felt that "dull" or "tedious" applied to it.

Also, while W3 excelled in quest options, the whole lose-lose aspect of it got old in a hurry.  "You saved that baby infant from the hell wolves?  Surprise, that was infant-Hitler and your attempt to do good has doomed millions!"

Thanks, I forgot about the "Reasonable Woman" laws we passed in the alternate reality you live in.

Witcher series has always been like that, though.

Not every game needs to have good choices result in Disney-like happy-ending results; neutral choices could go either way or somewhere in-between; and evil choices have the absolute worst results. There's already been too much of that in the past from many game companies trying to do moral-decisions in their RPG's.

No argument. And I've played enough games with morally grey choices that the concept is neither foreign to me nor something I instinctively dislike. W3 felt like it was taking it to new levels where there were ZERO good choices and thus no reason to care about your decisions because you (or more often someone else) were fucked no matter what. I stopped worrying about whether or not to give someone medicine or break their curse or whatever because each choice was just a monkey's paw of suck. That just gets exhausting. There's a middle ground between Disney Right/Wrong and 100% Grimdark.

 
Even though this is the wrong place and likely time all you for profit hunters can grab Destiny for ps4 free with rebates on Newegg.

And to chime in on the current issue W3 is clearly better especially since I haven't played DDADA or w/e its acronym is.

That's exactly what I love about the Witcher series - no matter what type of decision you make (morally good, morally neutral, morally evil, morally whatever else they throw at you as an option) - it's normally a dilemma of all losses.

I found that absolutely refreshing and bleak as hell, in a plethora of RPG's offering up the predictable set-up of morally good decisions gets best outcome; evil decision just equals or more evil and the worst outcome; and neutral can go either way.

If you don't like this style of Witcher games w/ dilemmas galore for their decision-making process, I really don't know why you're even playing this series.

To help you out w/ the acronymn:

DD: DA = Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen.

Is the mail-in rebate with NewEgg, Activision, or Bungie?

I'm pretty sure I said that I stopped since the plot pacing sucked and the grimdark nature of every quest line got old.

When every quest is like that, it stops feeling meaningful to me (or even a dilemma since every outcomes sucks anyway) and more like "Yeah, we're just going to jerk you around every time" which is pretty much the same simple-minded thing as "Everything is happy rainbows" only in reverse. That's not depth, it's gimmick.

Those gray choices are just as artificial and hokey and unrealistic as the happy vs evil choices. It's just a dumb parlor trick in the opposite direction of stupid contrivance.

How can you make a standard for something that doesn't exist?

At least we agree that there is no reason to play Witcher 3 if you are a fan of interesting, well-designed gameplay.

Its a dark fantasy I believe or something like that so it is somewhat to be expected. The only plot line I can remember off the top of my head that had a poor outcome either way was the Baron's quest and I found that to be fantastic myself. Skellige and Novigrad weren't as negative questwise although the first part of Novigrad was definitely the slowest part of the game by far. I loved Skellige (except for sailing to a ? far from shore, getting my boat torn apart by sirens and having to swim the whole way back).

I just finished a round of Evolve where the medic did not heal us even once.

And then I played some Just Cause 3 which is somehow even MORE mindless than Just Cause 2.

And this is after Dying Light The Following which turned a clever zombie parkour game into Fallout with a car.

I have awful taste in games apparently why do I keep playing this garbage.

Nobody said you have awful taste in games.

You just obvious prefer games that are more in-line with more emphasis on the action + gameplay element realms...

...as opposed to games that have much better storytelling; narrative; character development; decision-making; and things of that sort.

Yes, Witcher series is most definitely dark-fantasy...in the extreme sense of it, IMHO.

Also, some other reviews:

Dark Souls 2: SOFTS is a game you have been consistently lied to about. B-team and all that nonsense. It's all hooey. Every Souls game has stupid bullshit and DS2 is no exception, but it stands strong in the family despite all that. Plus, the port runs like a dream. Still, it's the only Souls game with a weak opening so it's easy to get disheartened from the early levels.

Lords of the Fallen is a game you have not been lied to about. It is absolutely gorgeous and starts strong only to crater pretty far in. The only folks with the talent were the art team. Also why do 8 foot tall demon invading monsters fight with flippy twirly Geralt style sword dancing crap? It looks twice as ridiculous on them as it did on Geralt.

Everyone who told you Superhot isn't worth $20 is absolutely right. It's a brilliant little 2.5 hour long game and the core mechanic is really good but even in the long run, even under repeat play like a shump, it just is not going to justify that price on any level.

 
well Evolve is very satisfying in term of gameplay but the DLC marketing is just poorly executed.

I played it once in a while for some dumb mindless fun versus the AI.  The online community is full of hardcore players who know the maps like the back of their hands or just plain hackers

And btw, for those who are NOT in the know, one of the monsters is not included in the PC Master Race edition or Season Passes.  It's a pre order bonus and u have to buy it separately

/back to Starcraft

Thanks, I might try some AI fights. There was only one online game running when I played and I swear our team could have been replaced with cats running across keyboards and put up a better fight. My Splatoon teammates are somehow BETTER than those dumbshits.

I really, really want to like Evolve. Apart from the disgusting DLC campaign it really does have everything going for it... but... it doesn't at the same time.

I didn't enjoy the Evolve gameplay. It felt so tedious and being the hunter just running around just becomes extremely repetitive. I couldn't stand it after about 2 weeks.

 
Free Septerra Core Steam keys (about 250K of them up for grabs) on DLH.Net.

Just jump into your DLH.Net's account's Steam section and request one.

This also involves Facebook likes + shenanigans; and other annoying nonsensical hoops to jump through.

While checking out the shipping cost on that .99 Pillars map I got some crusader kings II India portraits for signing up if anyone wants them.  

For those curious the shipping to US only costs $48.16 for that $0.99 map!
