Weekend Discussion
by Chris Faylor, Sep 12, 2009 12:30pm PDTJeez, there sure are a lot of games coming out next week. It's only mid-September!
I don't even want to think about the flood that October and November will bring. Instead, I think I'll go play a bit of DiRT 2 and see how that turned out. Sure looks pretty.

I think after they got done cutting the movies and watched it, they were like, shit this is all kinda homotron, lets add in where Sam gets married so it seems like less of a man train.

Since I have a lot of free time now for the first time in about 5 years, I am going to go back and play all the pc single player games I missed/didn't finish. I am trying to make a list of the best pc games of the 2nd half of the decade (2005 or newer since I was in college prior, and played/beat pretty much every good game prior to that). Here is what I have come up with so far (in no order):
Bioshock, Crysis/warhead, Farcry 2, Call of duty 4, Fallout 3, Mass Effect, GTA4 and san andreas, Freedom Force vs 3rd reich, warhammer dow2, witcher, zenoclash, dark messiah, psychonauts, oblivion, batman, stalker, dead space, fear, age of empires 3, sins of a solar empire, brothers in arms road to 30, mirror's edge.
Anything you think I am missing here (outside of multiplayer games, L4D, TF2, wow, etc played plenty of those, also pc only)?

I never played DoTA, and after a weekend of play, I like the premise behind HoN, but honestly it seems like this game has serious playability issues. I'm fighting non stop with the field of view: I lose track of my hero too easily in the mix, and I hate having to click on myself to heal or use an ability.
The shops are a mess to decipher: there's no clear path, and sometimes I would have items automatically merge together that I needed for an entirely different recipe. Is there a way to reverse this?
I would like to see the recipes laid out in a more logical manner, as a skill tree or something instead. The game still feels very mod-ish, the gui still needs a lot of work, I hate that pop-up menu offering to reconnect you to a conceded battle, and the Join Channel button doesn't even work. I know it's a beta, but unless they get all this in shape, I don't see the game worth the 30 dollars unless you're a DoTA enthusiast.
For some reason I was thinking about this earlier, and I really can't think of a better expansion pack than Lord of Destruction for Diablo 2. There's plenty of games with great expansion packs (TQ:IT, Rise of Nations: Thrones and Patriots, Starcraft: Brood War), but I can't think of another expansion that added or improved the core game as much as LoD. Without the expansion, I'd guess Diablo 2 would have died off 5 or 6 years ago.

I really hope someone else picks it up for season 14, or Adult Swim can revive it like it did Futurama.
It was cancelled for The Cleveland Show, right? Is McFarlane going to own all of Sunday night? TCS looks like shit from the previews.
