RANDOM VIDEO GAME NEWS THREAD!


Recommended Posts

I don't know why anyone uses d.o.b. and mother's maiden name as security data anyway. Bloody silly.

I have the first book (have won it once) and didn't even touched it yet. Somehow I am really not into that stuff.

 

 

Just wanted to note this.

Probably not worth it, if you aren't really into it. The first one gave some semi-interesting background on the gameworld, but the second one was, IIRC, absolutely dire.

 

I think I read both of them in a plane, hmm... :D

 

I thought the first one was fairly decent. It was mostly about political intrigue and did a nice job of introducing the world.

 

The second book was fairly rubbish, but I find the wardens to be terribly boring. I doubt I'll read the third, I haven't even been able to get into DA2 so far.

Hm, PCG reporting on a rumour ME3 will have 4 player co-op ? Meh, doubtful.

sounds like sludge.

 

i wish we could get a warhammer game that felt like you were actually playing warhammer.


Killing is kind of like playin' a basketball game. I am there. and the other player is there. and it's just the two of us. and I put the other player's body in my van. and I am the winner. - Nice Pete.

The campaign of DOW2 got pretty close.

Alice is not half as bad as it is made out to be. At least thats the impression I get from multiple sources. Also have seen quite a few player impressions that were rather positive.

Yeah, I haven't heard any outcry of complaints from the fanbase with regards to Madness Returns (I have it, but have been playing the original). But that might simply be because it's not popular enough to troll.

In related news, now available for pre-order from Steam (10% off). Amazon.com is still the better deal ($20 credit and 3" comic). Steam also has all previous FEAR games on sale as a bundle.

 

I have no familiarity with Day One's games, but my impulse won't let me pass on the finale. And the whole Point Man/Fettel teamup, while getting to play as Fettel. Hopefully it'll be good.

I think it's pretty much the fans liking it despite some minor problems and antiquated design choices, everyone else is pretty much ignoring it.

I think DS3's video with two guys running and jumping in the park is a lot worse, than that trailer

FEAR was a classic, and possibly Monoliths last good game.

 

FEAR 2 was the result when you let focus groups direct your design decisions.

 

FEAR 3 is from Day1, who mad the awful Fracture. But I'll gladly download a demo if there should ever be one.

Day1 also did Mech Assault.

 

That said, I'm willing to take a chance on Fear3. It looks like they actually are trying to do the horror part (even got John Carpenter in on the mix) it's just the question of if they'll pull it off like the first game, or collapse under their own weight like the second.

Really? It's actually a commercial (The DS3 one) and I thought it was great. The problem is they are both silly, but only one was being silly on purpose.

yeah, I guess commercials and trailers serve different purposes so shouldn't be compared. still, the fact that it's a commercial makes it even worse. it gets the point across (DS3 is a perfect game to play with your friend), but the thought alone of seeing it multiple times throughout the day is unbearable

What, exactly, do you dislike about the DS3 commercial?
