Please take a deeper look at STALKER, not necessarily for right now but maybe for the future. I feel that the STALKER series is one that everyone should at least give a go

Looks quite interesting, what type of game is it? looks like a svombie game. (WAB reference lol)
Nice to see I can pick up the whole bundle for £20 but I'd like to find out a little bit more about the games. Might check out some reviews.

Borderlands Pre-Sequel is a stand alone game, being a sequel to BL1 and prequel to BL2.
It has new playable characters (although they are npcs from the other games).
Also set on Pandoras moon, so it features low-grav and oxygen tanks (a new item which can have combat/travel bonuses).
Also new vehicles, weapon type (laser), elemental type (cold) and enemies.

I do however believe the game is shorter than 1/2. And some of the characters (Athena) are more difficult to play on singleplayer than multiplayer.
Worth playing though, imo, especially as BL3 is in the works.

Might check it out then. Can't say I played Borderlands 1 though, I remember my friend bought it when we were kids and it ran like a piece of stuff.

oh yeah, preorder MGSV if you haven't yet

It's a somewhat open-ended FPS with a main story and some side missions you can do for money and/or supplies such as medical supplies, food and ammunition. You can use money to buy supplies and upgrade your weapons or buy new ones and to buy new armoured suits to improve your survivability. You can also loot weapons and supplies off fallen foes and friends as well as finding "stash" co-ordinates which contain all of the above and even some unique variants of weapons and armour you can buy or find normally.
It's pretty difficult at times and the atmosphere is amazing, and everything only gets better once you start downloading mods for the games of which there are many. Just describing it through words doesn't really do it justice, I suggest watching at least the first few episodes of one of OCedmyToaster's let's plays on YouTube. I think TotalBiscuit may have had some sort of video for it as well.

If you do pick it up the one piece of advice I can really give is to play the game on Master difficulty (the "hardest" difficulty) I say this because the first game was actually built around one single difficulty, that is the Master difficulty. However when they put it to their publishers they felt that the game was a bit too tough for the average gamer and mandated that some easier difficulty settings were added in. The devs did this and the publishers were pleased, however the problem is the way they did it; they added a global variable to the different difficulty settings which changed what percentage of bullets fired from guns, be it the player's or the AI's, actually existed. I'm not kidding either, on the easiest difficulty setting about 75% of all bullets fired from all guns don't actually exist; they don't hit the player or the AI and they do no damage resulting in guns feeling woefully inaccurate and making the gameplay feel dull and silly. On the hardest difficulty setting this problem doesn't exist and combat feels much more tense so I strongly suggest playing on Master difficulty

Just looking at a review right now, Pripyat looks kinda cool but seems buggy and annoying. I might buy the game tomorrow.

In other news, I might start a 'worth a buy?' style video review youtube channel when I return to uni with someone from my course.


but that already exists meng
Yeah of course there are hundreds of 'is this worth my money' type of channels but I'd like to give my own opinion on games.

Also can anyone comment on STALKER's multiplayer?

None of them are actually any buggier than most other games. Mods can be a little problematic but the base games have always been fine in my experience, a better word would be "glitchy" as sometimes stupid things can happen which are moderately entertaining.

Also can anyone comment on STALKER's multiplayer?

Outside of a mod that's currently in development it practically hasn't got any multiplayer. In all three games it's an arena TDM that likely doesn't work anymore as it ran on GameSpy master servers

BL 1 was alright but feels dated now. I never did end up finishing it.
I think BL2 was a great sequel, one I'd probably consider better than the original.

Any way if you play BL1.5 then the only character you'll probably not be familiar with is Athena who was in a BL1 DLC. And you'll pick up her story as you play anyway.

Sounds cool, I'll pick it up later :)

Never played a horror game before.
Bought Lucius from steam, $1 on sale
Its nearly 1am and I just got home from work
Pitch black room in the quiet part of my house
HERE WE GOOOOOOOOO

luscious lucius isn't really a horror game so don't put your hopes high

Yeah I played it till 2am, kinda scary but not that much horror. Still was an awesome game.
