alright you guys convinced me, portal 2 this weekend instead of oblivion.
unrelated but any of you who are pumped for DX:HR have you heard they're allowing you to turn the highlighting off now? I'm so fucking happy; the community of pc gamers was going apeshit about the highlighting (which i think isn't the end of the world but was reallyyy obnoxious since it highlighted in gold any useable item even far away and the original deus ex is in my top games) so now they made a couple new options. you can turn off the highlighting, turn off the mission objective markers, turn off the cam for melee kills/takedowns (supposedly) and a few others. to be honest i'm surprised they have so many settings for a game that is mostly directed at the consoles (sad how pc gaming is losing fans these days) but this makes a huge difference because it takes out the one thing that really made me freak out about the game and now i can play it on the hardest difficulty setting with highlighting and mission markers off and hopefully play the REAL deus ex successor.
though they are doing the pc version at another studio. i know they're just porting it and the thing will be the same but still it pisses me off consoles have so many good aspects like a higher sales base and thus a lot of the time get more focus (eidos montreal is doing the console ones and then supposedly checking up on the port all the time but still i think it could get sketchy) plus they get more optimized to use shitty hardware yet get great results while even with great pc's sometimes we have a lot of bugs, fuckups, not optimized graphic options etc. pc gaming is the fucking shit and always will be yet the hoards of console gamers who just want to plug in and play are slowly killing a lot of great pc games.
tl;dr deus ex 3 rules, consoles are destroying a lot of pc gaming still
