Guys... The Witcher 3 is pretty amazing. This is basically everything I've wanted in an epic fantasy open-world RPG in well forever.

Agreed, only somewhere along the line the graphics in the pc version were downgraded for the console kiddies.

I don't really stress too much about graphics or get into the whole "PC Master Race" thing. The fairly consistent crashing is pretty annoying, though.

Not one crash here with everything on ultra besides DOF and blur, but I am only in White Orchard. Amazing game so far, but still needs a few tweaks.

Please Stand By

I have a fair amount of faith that it's real given that it's a bethsoft.com URL and it was announced by the Bethesda twitter account. There's a lot of hacking that would have to be done for this one to be a fake, and I suspect Bethesda would be all over denying it if it were.

Good to know I wasn't the only one waiting for the video to go live this morning. Can't wait to be back in the Fallout Universe.

[David]

I was waiting, but had a meeting that went right over the go-live hour.

Unless something royally goes wrong, this game is going to be so awesome.

Admitting that I'm too old to play video games, I'd still love a "Portal 3." I think the first two Portal games were one of the most inventive video games ever created. For my taste as a parent, it was a welcome departure from the (for me) rather violent FPS-type games that seem to pervade the market, combined with the fact it mandated some fairly good thinking and puzzle-solving skills to complete. I kept hoping they might actually do a Portal 3, but I guess that ship has long sailed now. Alas.

Now, admitting to my age a bit, wandering through the new Sam's in Moore last week revealed a minor monster that would have deprived my wallet of $2,500 had that kind of spare change been laying around: a retro, console-style, multi-game PAC-MAN arcade-style game. It was set up very much like its contemporaries of that era, perhaps a slighly smaller configuration, and with a nice, flat LCD screen instead of a tube. The firmware was set up with something like ten different games of that era in addition to PAC-MAN, , eg Galaga, Galaxians, Dig Dug, etc. A great throwback for someone my age

Source 2 (Valves new game engine) is close to coming out for Dota 2. I would imagine a slew of new titles from Valve coming soon. Portal does well so I would expect a new one in a few years. Great games btw.

You can build arcade cabinets for much less and run an emulator to play pretty much any game. Most likely a lot cheaper than $2500. I was thinking about building one next summer for my extra garage man cave. I think it would be a really fun project!

No one is ever to old to play videos games. If that were the case, the clientele at the casinos would be different.

I think I'll be on my death bed and Half Life 3 will still be rumored. On that note you can play Black Mesa now on steam. Someone remade the Original Half Life on the new source engine. I might check it out Black Mesa on Steam

Splatoon has been out for a week now, and I must say it's an awesome game. I was really on the fence about buying it but after watching a full day of people streaming it I decided to throw down the money for it. I'm a very competitive person so it's good there is no voice chat built in, because I am that guy that rages especially in a team game where the team doesn't know what the hell they are doing. People complain about the "Lack of Content" which yes there is, but we are already getting our second piece of FREE DLC tomorrow, If they keep this up through the summer than I can't really complain. If anybody else has a WiiU out there feel free to add me on the friends list, my Nintendo Network ID is the same as my username on here.

I like the way you think!

Just a reminder for those who haven't noticed. The Steam summer sale is on going now. Some decent ones so far. Origin is also doing a sale.

This has probable been posted but it looks pretty good.

Holy crap. Do video games look like that now?

The last Star Wars game I owned looked like this:
