I really did like the original xbox version, mainly because co-op, but never got around to playing the full version of the remake here.

Still as far as promos for upcoming games go (Sniper Elite 3 is out at the end of the month) this is a good one.

Erm...yeah. I'll pass. I'm not a fan of WW2 or slow motion fatalities (btw...am I the only one who got a serious grudge against that stuff EVERY FUCKING TIME YOU SHOOT SOMEONE in fallout 3?). I could say "yeeeey, free game", but with my steam backlog it even has to take a number in that line as well.

Still...nice news. It's only a matter of time before we will get payed to download and play games now. :)

I thought it was just in VATS that slow motion happened, also it was a reasonable common criticism. As for world war 2 the original did actually manage to be a WW2 game I would stand to play during the xbox era which was a reasonable feat.

Yeah it was only with VATS and I swear I saw an option to turn it off, but maybe i'm thinking of a different FPS.

Not completely sure if you're talking about Sniper Elite V2 or some other game, but you can reduce the number of bullet time events in Sniper Elite V2 if you go to the settings.

Unless there's an option in one of the ini files, there's not one in the in-game menus. But the game kinda sucked as a straight fps, so VATS kind of helped balance it out. I didn't mind it but it definitely made the game cheap as hell.

On-topic - yay more free games :yay:

Nah I was referring to Fallout 3.

Boo. Must've been thinking of a different game then.
I always got the perk that made things explode into pieces when they die. Slo-mo never ceased to entertain me with that.

That perk is great, so is the... er... Mysterious Stranger!

    i thought everybody knew cocktails are like 75% ice
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah but not like this.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not like they're complaining that their Slurpee is 99% ice or something, but if the cocktail calls for "shot of vodka, shot of vermouth, shot of gin, shot of Campari, three shots of juice, squirt of lemon" and ends up being a thimbleful of booze, that's a problem.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    the funny thing is cocktails in norway are only allowed to have 1 20ml shot of booze
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    so..... yeah
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    we're used to only having a thimbleful of booze
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Booo.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    same thing if you want whisky on the rocks or something, you can't get a double
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but you could buy as many shots of whisky (or anything else) as you want and ask for a glass of ice and pour them in
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    it's dumb
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Maybe.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    There was a comparison of the number of Ibuprofen poisonings before and after they limited the maximum dosage per box or per pill (i'll look that up). No limit on the number of boxes you can still buy as many as you want, so people argued it was pointless.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    But the number of (accidental) poisonings dropped because drinking an entire package of ibuprofen pills went from "I need a new liver" to "I need a new box of Ibuprofen".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Here we have ketoprofen that used to be prescription-only because of the risk of toxic dosages, but then they halved the dose per pill and sell them in bottles of six pills apiece instead of twenty and it doesn't need a prescription any more. Yes you can buy more than one bottle but people simply don't.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Usually accidentally overdose of ibuprofen here is from people taking like cold medicine then ibuprofen for a headache and the combination is over what they need
