Honestly... this probably is THE way to get VR technology off the ground floor and into the mainstream as usable devices. That was never going to happen with Oculus working on their own. That doesn't change the fact that the company that is going to profit from this is probably going to misuse this technology.

*drool* Sounds like they've really improved on the web-slinging mechanics from the first one (and the first wasn't entirely terrible).[DOUBLEPOST=1395962178,1395961653][/DOUBLEPOST]A shorter look at the gameplay.
So they basically just copied the Arkham Batman games. Which is fine, if you're gonna copy a game, might as well copy a good game.
They mostly did that in the first game, too. I'm more excited about the improved web-slinging, multitude of costumes, and the variety of New York districts.
Oh, make no mistake, I think it looks good. I love Spider-Man, so I want a good Spider-Man game out there. I just hadn't played the first amazing spider-man game, and was taken aback by how blatantly Arkham everything was.
It really is. And to be honest, not as refined as the Arkham games, either. Even though they try so hard to be like the Arkham games, neither the stealth or the combat is even remotely as good.
That said, it's still a game worth at least one play through. I played through it on Hard, got all the trophies including Platinum, and then traded it back shortly after.
I still don't think I've played a better Spider-man game than the Spider-man 2 movie game. It was very sandboxy, had cameos from other Marvel heroes, and let you do what you wanted between missions.
Spider-Man 2 was the pinnacle of Spider-Man games for certain.
Well, AMD took their first step towards this yesterday.
No word yet on whether it, too will be eaten up by all the Litecoin miners, though with 16GB of DDR5 onboard, you know some of 'em are going to try it.

It's more like a commodity right now anyway, like gold. If it fluctuated less it would actually be better.
$100 early access? I would not reward them for that kind of bullshit.
From what I've been reading, most of the companies using Steam Early Access are using it to keep their companies afloat during development because they lack outside funding. But I don't see the logic in buying a pre-release game for $100... I mean, it's EVENTUALLY going to go on sale. Who needs to play a game so badly that they'll pay that?
Oh right. Idiots.
Oh right. Idiots.
No game is worth $100. Unless it comes with a free controller.
Or a blowjob.

It should be pointed out that this edition of Gal Civ 3 comes with any future expansions and DLC as well (also non-material rewards that people may or may not care about). They're expecting to release 5 DLCs a year at about $5 each, along with 3 or 4 expansions over the next few years at around $20 each. They're going to replace it later this year with a "standard" early access version that costs the same as the game will when released ($50), without anything more than than normal game.
I'd have bought Skryim for $100, but that's probably the only game I can say that about.
Someone bought SNES copy of Earthbound from me for $185 years ago. People are crazy.

I really need to get around to playing FTL one of these days. I have the GoG version, though, hope it gets the expansion too.
Sigh.
I remember a quote from Roger Ebert that I'm going to butcher now in paraphrasing. He was talking about Spirited Away, and said that when he spoke with Miyazaki about the film, he had said the film was aimed at 10 year old girls, because he wanted to make a film for his daughter. Ebert said this is the reason the movie resonated so well with people, because it was -for- someone, and even if you're not that someone it can still touch you. Movies made for everyone are made for no one in particular.
Even stupid pieces of shit, which is why the Transformers series is so popular.
This year's April Fool's from Blizzard. It has a fucking Rock 'n' Roll Racing reference, I am so happy.
