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

I am sure that will be quality but I am kinda tired of seeing all the "early access" games on steam. There are numerous titles that are early access that stay in the development state far to long the developers runs out of money the game never is totally finished and joe a consumer is shafted.

Its starting to become an excess for a game to have several bugs in it. Spend less time debugging in order to wow people with bells and whistles for a game.

You, I like you lol.

Did you watch the PC gaming show last night?

[Achilleslastand]

Looks amazing,,
I want to know the system specs and the resolution this was with?

The PC Gaming show was a joke. AMD just paying to show off a few games everyone has already seen.

Best of E3 for me was of course Fallout 4, the Nintendo World Championships, Star Wars BattleFront, Doom, new Deus Ex, and I am interested in what Hitman is going to be.

e3recap.com is a good place to see trailers organized btw!

What? The PC gaming show was awesome, loved that they got day[9] to host it. I liked the format and for it being the first one it can only get better. I enjoyed most of the content and it really just made me happy that we finally got a show just dedicated to PC games.

nope... missed it! -M

I just picked up a PS4. I am more of a racing/flying/sports game guy myself, as I suck horribly at FPS.

Project Cars might be one of the hardest games I have played. May have to totally nerd out and buy a wheel and pedals. The F1 cars are undriveable with the controller.

here's another one that I'm looking forward to. love the multiple solution paths in the deus ex series.

As long as the boss fights are improved it will be a first day buy for me.

I heard this time it is actually possible to do full stealth all the way through. Can't wait.

yeah... that was my least favorite part of deus ex: hr. i actually put the game down for awhile because of one of the bosses. another thing i didn't like was the inventory system. you can only carry so much equipment, which is ok, but there wasn't a great place to store items to access them later. -M

Why in Zeus's holy beard has the Final Fantasy VII remake trailer not been posted here? Arguably one of the most, if not THE most influential JRPG games ever. And millions have been asking for a remake for 10+ years.

Here, I'll drop it:

[Martin]

oh man... so i've bought more stuff than I'm probably going to play (again) at the steam summer sale.




so far I've gotten:
sir, you are being hunted (cool concept... been wanting to play this for awhile)
the witcher 2 (curious about this series given positive reviews for witcher 3)
bioshock 1-3 (have never played any of these and should probably check them out)
king arthur's gold (looked like a fun, cheap time waster)
medieval engineers (been wanting to try this out)
ftl (looked interesting and has positive buzz but never wanted to pay full price for it)
assassin's creed 3 (enjoyed 1 & 2 but not enough to pay full price)
the bureau: xcom declassified (enjoyed the original and the remake that came out a couple years ago)

i'm pretty sure I haven't gotten around to playing all of the games i bought on the last steam sale... so who knows how many of these i'll actually play. : | -M

Out of all of them, definitely Bioshock, those you should try and play if you can.

Bioshock is great. Number 2 is the weakest.

FTL is a lot of fun. Makes me angry but is fun.

The Witcher 2 was a very good game although it was quite linear especially compared with the 3rd title, which is way more open world as well as its writing and questlines are leagues better.

drat... i was hoping it was open world like the new one. i'm not too big on linear games anymore. that's, like, $6 down the drain! : ) -M

looks like the consensus is bioshock... might have to fire that one up tonight. -M

It is only "linear" if you define linear as "not open world." The game has you make a few choices that have a real effect on the story. The middle part of the game takes place in a while different area with a different cast of characters based on your choices.

Also, each chapter takes place in areas that are sort of mini "open worlds." It's smaller scale than The Witcher III, but it is far from linear.
