Item thoughts:

Iron Curtain - Awesomesauce.
Lugermorph - Cool.
Badge - Looks good on the Spy.
Dangeresque shades - Eh, they're alright. Will be better when paintable.
Watch - Meh. Can't be seen on player model, only viewed briefly when cloaking/decloaking in view model. Pacman cloak meter is nice I guess.

Iron Curtain - Needs kill icon.

By the sound of that, I wouldn't like it.
I'm not interested in the items (especially since I crafted the iron curtain), if the conversations loop after 20 minutes (or 1hour, opinions seem to differ) I'd have no reason to continue playing.

For those annoyed at the unreasonable behaviour, rps said that increasing difficulty helps.

Disco: Watch the video linked in the OP: the heavy goes all in in the opening round.
Edit: And the round after that.

like i said though its computationally expensive to do good poker ai, poker is the game of choice now for ai research. A decent poker ai needs a lot of processing power, i imagine telltale is using pre-calculated stats and a little fuzzy logic. And yeah its works out they do some stupid shit sometimes but its probably either the statistically best option or the fuzzy logic kicking in for an attempted bluff. Either way its very hard to play poker like a human, especially when most humans play suboptimally.

I don't think that's a very fair review. This is probably a 6/7 out of 10 game. In the UK, for the price you can get a beer or a coffee and not have that much left over. No, the poker AI isn't great, but I'm not sure what RPS are expecting for 3 quid. I've had a couple of hours fun out of it and I'll probably get a couple more, and that's enough for me.

If you don't want the items and would get annoyed by the crappy AI (and it is), then I totally agree it's not for you. But the review spends several pages criticising it for something it's /not designed to be/.

[Finaldeath]

AI for poker varies; there are some up and coming techniques being researched I won't bore you with though.

I think the game plays competently enough to be interesting. For me, being able to bet well on a hand after they do, or risk a raise where it won't be reciprocated, or going all in to try and force a fold (oh and how many times that can fail) - it works all the time pretty well for me. Sometimes it comes down to luck but depending on the state of the game, all the actions they do make some kind of sense, especially if they are ahead or behind a lot - I am playing on hard and they fold pretty well before the flop even, something I tend never to do.
