But the current state of the game does in no way garner enough interest (for me at least) to put down a pre-order at $30. Compared to something like what Don't Starve presented during beta and their price-point it's just ridicolous.

creepiest looking couple ever, like they bake a child into every cake and devour them for their sustaining life-force.

Even more concerning since they make a point of having a HUMAN child soon. That's something a demon would say...

Even scarier, apparently they already have a few non-human kids

Cats im guessing she has alot of cats.

If you watch the entire episode there's actually a point where she says something like "we have 3 kids..... they're our cats"

Not that I know if their statements were true or not, but there's a big difference between shipped and sold. Shipped only means how many copies they released into the market, sold is how many actually reached customers.

While it might not have been some major leap forward (which also is sorta unrealistic to expect as things have had more time to develop) I'd say the tower climbing in Far Cry 3 was something quite different and well executed we haven't seen much of before. You also gotta remember that the games you talk about all comes from the era when first-person was the hip new thing and everyone wanted to make games based around that. In all honesty first-person has been going out of fashion this generation, with third-person taking the reins, and it's now mostly only preferred by the people who want to focus on making very adrenaline driven, intense, twitch gameplay games. For almost all other purposes third-person does a better job.

Been a while since I played the game, but around level 10 or so you should start getting quests tuned for group-play (often achieved by just asking in general chat if others want to do it) and then about 15-20 your LFD tool should be available for instancing. I remember doing alts where all I did was just queue LFD and doing dungeons for most of the lower levels.

It is all up to you though. If you want to play with others then seek it out by using the tools available to you to do group content, be it quests, dungeons, pvp or whatever.

I've been playing a lot of Wii U lately and there's some things that console does that's just brilliant that I wish the others would do. Unfortunately though it's quite dependant on the gamepad. Basically what Nintendo has done is instead of going the XboX way of giving everyone a mic, they have given everyone a functional keyboard. Not only does it bring text chat (which in my opinion is much much better than voice in a matchmaking heavy environment), but they also have a fully integrated community forum for every game on their console.

While the MiiVerse definitely is a very rough version of what I'd like to see, the idea of having access to a vast community on my console and being able to browse centralized forums and FAQs without having to switch over to my PC is really great. As mentioned though, it's something neither of the other consoles can really recreate and improve upon without going the touchscreen route which it seems neither of them will do. If you ask me though, it's the one thing that would actually sell me on the online console experience.

I'm gonna be a bit cynical here (and for all I know very wrong), but I would assume it has something to do with the fact that that part of the story is so incredibly written into a corner. Daenerys is basically the nuclear option. If she ever actually gets to Westeros she will die or be the supreme ruler, there just is no middle ground. So to keep the threat on-going he just had to find something for her to do that would keep her occupied. I would be quite surprised if the supposed pay-off of her entire story-arc ever actually comes to life.

The show is spiraling fast at this point, but I would assume with the season end coming up there must be something good coming. I really enjoyed the Tywin/Joffrey scene in this episode though. Probably the first scene in a long time that showed something serious brewing. Maybe I'm just getting "blood hungry", but the former seasons really set a standard for mass conflict while this one is just comes off as a massive amount of bickering.

yup, it's basically like the auto stuff in UMVC3, you just push any button and the game does amazing combos for you.

@seppli: I'd say the core problem lies in the fact that X-Com has always been a very gameplay focused game, so changing the gameplay while keeping the theme is basically like making a completely different game. The situation reminds me of Syndicate really. There was nothing wrong with that game, but calling it Syndicate didn't do it any favors. There isn't really any reason why any of the iterations they showed needed to be linked to X-Com, and basically all it has done for them is create a lot of fervor against their game.
