Hope you end up enjoying the Borderlands 2 DLC Brent.

They ended up being a horrible disappointment and waste of money for me. Especially considering the fact Gearbox didn't bother working on any of the first three.

I wear glasses, so i guess i will never ever have a use for the oculus "headache" rift

Alexander - They are making it usable for people with glasses.  As a matter of fact, even the Dev kit has exchangeable eye cups to help people with glasses use it better.

I understand Lorin, when he talks about Deus Ex being boring.

I have a system - if I do not like the game right away, I step away, and wait for a month or two, maybe longer. Then I try to play the game again. If I can't get into it then, I give it one more shot after few months. If I can't stand the game even after that, then I label the game as "shit" (for my taste). It is a great system and I've been able to filter out some true gems, that I did not like at first.

Deus Ex is a really boring game, even when I was insanely hyped for Cyberpunk 2077 and was ready to play anything that had cyberpunk theme. It actually is one of the most boring games I have ever played. This and Skyrim (I actually fell asleep playing Skyrim. That's when I knew - that game is not for me)

With Tomb Raider, however, I fell in love instantly. I love Uncharted games (have not played Uncharted 3, I don't have PS3 anymore) and I was dying to play that kind of game on my PC. I spent all Saturday playing the game - I mean right after work from 0730-1900hrs. Never used the instinct button (highly recommend). I felt the need to finish the game 100%. And when the game was done, I felt satisfied, but I also felt that something was missing. Brent actually said it really well. I missed those little cheat codes to make next playthroughs more fun, I missed some skins that could have been unlocked.

About Oculus Rift. I'm sorry, but I can't see the need for this kind of thing. Maybe it is because I have not had the chance to try it out, but, to be honest, I don't even want to try it out.

@Lorin Like you I'm excited for Injustice as well. Most of that excitement being due to the fact that I'm a big comic book fan. I would highly recommend that you read the Injustice: Gods Among Us prelude comic book. It sets up the story and shows just how dark (and awesome) they are taking things.

@Lorin:  Ok that is good, because the 3D hype never got my as there was never ever somebody that bothered about the fact that wearing glasses + Shutter glasses is awkward as hell.... Thus the only 3d movie i watched was avatar, was ok but luckily they had passive glasses that are lighter. Here in switzerland 99.9% of the cinemas have shutter glasses and how they work with normal glasses....  

On the oculus thing: I hope they will bring cool stuff out but i will still never buy one, im too much the old "relax in my couch while having an open fov to look arround".
(replace couch with chair for PC :) ). But i was also never much into all that motion stuff, i just wand to sit down and play with accurate direct and fast controls.

Still, technology wise its cool stuff.

Lorin, peaking of old west games.  I really liked GUN from Neversoft.  They totally need to make a sequel with the scalping and the beer health pacs.

Is Neversoft still alive?
