That doesn't make any sense. It's there because it's also on the armor from Dead Space 2.

In that shot I don't think anything looks wrong with the body armour, but the helmet is rather goofy.

You may be playing the campaign from 2004, but you're also playing the 2009 version of it.

I'm playing through it right now and agree that the execute system is great. I also like sending assassins to kill my targets and then just sitting back to watch. I sent two of them against some soldiers on a castle wall, turned away to continue the fight downstairs, and when I looked up there were two assassin's on horseback up on the wall and a bunch of dead bodies. It's a not possible to ride a horse up there so they had no way of getting down, so they just keep pacing back and forth waiting for me to look away so they could disappear.

They should just randomly throw together words to ensure their fictional character doesn't share their name with a real person. Like Fishplonk Blowdrain or Guybrush Threepwood.

No, but Dead Rising 2 has two versions of it's costume DLC. The paid for version which gives you bunch of new items to use, and the free version so people without it can still play co-op with those that do. Anyway, if free day one DLC for those who purchase a new copy is an attempt at luring in those who might instead buy a used copy, then perhaps free DLC for those who pre-order before a certain date is an attempt to lure in those would otherwise wait for a price drop.

If you play a role, it's a role playing game, obviously.

So it's not an FPS if there's intelligent shooting in first person? What's the difference between intelligent and dumb shooting? Serious Sam vs Rainbow Six? Anyway, I think what Majek is getting at is that in an FPS the primary gameplay is shootin' s**t. It's why you play the game. If you're not shooting someone or something then is really nothing else to do. While games like System Shock 2, Deus Ex, Vampire: Bloodlines, and Fallout 3 all feature shooting from the first person perspective, shooting isn't necessarily the primary gameplay component, and perhaps depending on how you play something you can mostly avoid.

Garrett wore tap shoes and he's, like, THE master thief.

They were also different, older actors. Haha, yeah.

fixed I know people can often make arseholes of themselves when "fixing" posts but, damn.

Where did that come from and what on earth does it have to do with this thread?

I was just out the back and I was aurally assaulted by 70 billion cicadas. I'm pretty sure it's the apocalypse.

Child beauty pageants and clothing/department stores are not "the media". I never said it wasn't a widespread development, I said it's not fair to say "the media keep(s) trying make children look grown up". Also, that last picture is far creepier than the ones in the first post.

Queensland has it much worse than us. No one died here.

People wanted to "romance" the mute girl from AP. Video game geeks who are also dirty perverts. Shocking. Anyway, I preordered the game, and I feel none of the shame you other weirdos seem to have a problem with. It doesn't cost any more money and I get a bunch of extra stuff, everybody* wins! *And by everybody I mean me.

I don't think it's fair to say "the media keep(s) trying make children look grown up". A handful of photoshoots isn't "the media".

According to the story the problem seems to be that he did too much.

It's not entirely cosmetic. Black and white if you're hidden, colour if you're not. Nightshape's hate for it is rather over the top though. What SCC really needed was colourful icons that shot out of peoples bodies when they died.

Heh, that's the first thing I thought as well.

Remind me how the research worked in SS2. It's been so long that I can't remember, but I seem to recall it being primarily finding and combining different chemicals.

...infused with the bat**** insanity of Saint's Row 2. That's what the world needs. I never played any of the taxi or ambulance side mission type stuff in the older GTA games, and car modification in SA was mostly pointless, so I didn't miss that stuff in GTAIV. The Saint's Row games did the extra stuff so much better than GTA anyway. RDR is the only Rockstar open world game I ever achieved 100% in. Really? Lamborghini clone, plus hydraulics, plus afterburners, plus offroad tires. Comedy effective escape vehicle of the game. In SA once you lost your modded car it was gone for good. In SR when your car was destroyed you just go to a mechanic or your garage (or parking spot in SR2), hand over some cash and you've got your car back. You get to enjoy your sweet pimped out ride for the whole damn game.

There was stuff like Firefly and Journeyman that I enjoyed, but wasn't too fussed to see them go, like GreasyDogMeat said, "saved from future mediocrity". The cancellation of Carniv

They do both take place in a city, yes, but Mafia 2 is a linear set of missions. To be fair though it's not completely without elements typically found in open world games. You can find pictures of playboy magazines and for some reason wanted posters featuring the developers cosplaying as gangsters. If you've ever watched a mafia-related movie and thought it would be better if in-between scenes where stuff actually happens we got to see the characters spend ten minutes driving to the next scene, and then drive home at the end of the day, then this is the game for you. The city is a beautiful place to drive around in, but driving from A to B over and over again doesn't make for compelling gameplay. If you like cover shooters then those segments are nice. The melee fighting is pretty lame, and once you can block it's ridiculously easy. That's all the gameplay, travelling, fun shootouts, and lame fighting. A lot of people think it's got a great story (for a game) but I thought it was pretty dull. One part of the story that particularly irritated me was the I suppose if you've got a total hard-on for mafia cliches (and other non-mafia related cliches) and a good story is the most important element you look for in a game, then go for it.
