Pathfinder Adventure Card game fools, you will never play a video game again.

And on the equal opposite side of that, Thief 4 will end up being the game of the century, cuz even the most optimistic among us are only expecting it to be merely alright.
I'm a lot less skeptical about it now than I was when they were first showing it off. I doubt it will be as good as Dishonored, but I wouldn't be surprised if it were in the same ballpark.

$60 AAA titles are getting worse and worse, no doubt (aside from the occasional Bethesda release), but all the new independent stuff popping gives me hope. It's a good time to a be a PC gamer.
True, that's a good way of looking at it. Problem with that is that it's harder to find out by word of mouth whether those titles are good. They also tend to be much more affected by individual taste than the AAA titles. For example, Gone Home is good at what it does but a lot of people won't enjoy the title at all.

Doubtful. Tom Clancy's books are fairly well-known for being exactly what he describes
I've read some of them, and aside from a few of his early books I found them to be largely throw away, cookie cutter "brospiracy" type books.

That is entirely besides the point, good job.

Jesus, stop pretending that Clancy's books were anything more than pulpy airport novels. Ludicrously convoluted political conspiracies where CIA analysts interact with tacticool heroes. All the silly tropes that you expect from typical Clancy fiction seem to be there in Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit, going by what I've seen in the trailers.
Judging by this earlier conversation, what I said is entirely the point.

You've spun this whole conversation around so many times I've forgotten what the fucking point actually is. Still not convinced you're not a sockpuppet.

It hasn't spun around at all. Since the last page everyone's just been arguing about the quality of Tom Clancy's writing.

Whatever suits your reality.

I love you guys and how you've all been so belligerent lately.
Anyway, I'm kind of looking forward to seeing how 2014 unfolds, but I am not holding my breath for Thi4f. Logically, I think there is a good chance it is going to be pretty bad. However, something tells me that there might be some redeeming quality to it.
