Sure, that's possibly true in general. However, I don't have a current gen console (because I'm not buying a console just for a few Exclusive games) and I'm personally very sad that games of this...

I know the elevator trick. Unfortunately, I'm one of the people who're playing at a lower-than-optimal framerate, which causes several physics things (including the clipping detection that makes the...

It took me about the same time, but that's mainly because I completely ignored the puzzle before The Chase until hour 12 because I convinced myself that the actually important puzzles were elsewhere....

Fallout 3 (GOTY - but I think I still have to enable the "datafiles" for the DLC, even though they come with it, right)?

So far, I'm finding my usual difficulty with being anything other than...

I upgraded the PSU when I got the 8800GT, and it was an expensive 600W PSU at the time (it was one of the better CoolerMaster branded ones, with the precursor to the 80+ Bronze rating), so I'm...

Oh, I don't have AA or AF on. (I've never really seen a huge benefit from them.)

Indeed, since I can at least get DX:HR to play reasonably without enemies on the screen, I'm fairly sure it's not...

Cheers, that looks like vaguely the direction I was heading in, but with less confidence that I was picking the right stuff.
As far as memory goes, CAS timings are still less important than general...

Hello, good burghers of RPS.

After a long period of mostly playing indie & rather older games on my desktop PC (for example, FTL, SpaceChem, etc), I find myself in the position of once again...

Mechanical Spoiler below:
Some discussion on the 2K forums suggests that the general formula is Will/4 percent chance, with additional bonuses applied (mainly a bonus to lower ranking officers to...

As someone from a Sciencey background, I suspect you're right. I'd consider Fortran more "useful" than C# from a sciency context, but it does seem to get a lot of love (and from what I've seen of it,...

You've already had a full answer to this, but I just wanted to emphasise that there's two different things here:

1) What you want to learn the language for

2) How "easy" the language is.

C#...

Oh, I'm demonstrating our department's Introduction to Programming course - we teach C, although I'm really not sure it's the best language to teach in Sciences. (I'd have probably taught Fortran if...

B.A.T., which is old enough that it was released on the Amiga, Atari ST and PC (and I think the C64) (http://www.mobygames.com/game/bat ) gave you a wrist-mounted computer that you could do very...

I second Unity and python. There's some good resources for both of them, and you can very quickly get something game-ish going in Unity that you can play with (while python's interpreter lets to play...

Being all behind the times, I'm currently playing the original Torchlight (and drowning under vendor trash - I realise your pet can go sell stuff for you, but could we just get less of it dropped...

I have some C and C++ (the C++ is very rusty), some Fortran (90, a little rusty), some Go (which I'm just dabbling with at the moment), some python (which I actually use at work), and a very small...

But we're not talking about the fiddly inventory management. As my reply noted, you can have "slot inventories" like new XCOM has and still let the player pick things up from the ground to restock,...

Sure. However, it still felt like it was a simulation. The new XCOM feels, as people have noted, like a boardgame.
Obviously, this doesn't bother you, and that's fine, but there's a definite shift...

Aye, I really should pick up Laser Squad Nemesis some time - it's been on my list for a bit, but I keep never quite picking it up. Thanks for the additional recommend!

To echo the other guy: turning this into the "everyone who disagrees that new XCOM is unambiguously better than the original loves time units and just wanted a carbon-copy of the original" is a gross...

Not to turn this into a thread about Psychonauts, but: really? I found it rather clunky, and never bothered getting beyond the second level because of it. As I mentioned above, I also didn't click...

Given that I bounced off of Psychonauts, due to the poor quality platforming mechanics, I'm not sure this is a poor comparison, Heliocentric. (Psychonauts is lauded by most people, as far as I can...

Still playing Cave Story + every so often, but trying for the "good" ending first time around has the side issue of throwing up levels that I'm simply not good enough to reliably complete. (It took...

Deus Ex: Human Revolution ('cause the OSX port still isn't done, with no ETA, and it doesn't work that well in Wine from what I hear).

Countless games which are console exclusives. Tch.

Finally bought Super Meat Boy (as part of the Humble Indie Bundle 4), but have basically given up on it after discovering that it lags so badly that the World 2 boss is nigh-unbeatable (yes, even...
