    Thief (2014)

    'Fantastic' is not what sprung to my mind when I got magical invisibility that allowed me to chain execute dozens of people with no risk nor skill involved and just had to wait 20ish seconds to do it again! I also hear that the game becomes equally lame if you decide to just mow people down with...

    Thief (2014)

    It may end up being like Alpha Protocol: a game where you have to be very careful on how to do things if you don't want to ruin your own fun!

    The Order: 1886

    I suspect the main breakthrough in this game will not be the gameplay, but the presentation. It's supposed to be the next step in seamlessly transitioning between gameplay and cut scenes (as in not only using the same engine and not having load times, but also editing the last gameplay shot with...

    The Big Bad Console Thread - Sway your Station with an Xboner !

    Cold hard facts are not so good with the PC Master Race mantra. I checked the top 40 titles on metacritics for 2013, removing iOS and handheld games: 10 are console exclusives (3 HD remakes in the lot), 11 are games available on both PC and Console that are not graphically intensive so run...

    Metal Gear Solid V

    The plots in MGS games are... let's say... grandiose. The brilliant is constantly mixed with the grotesque to the point you get punch drunk and can't tell one from the other. These plots are exceptional and amazing, which does not mean they are good. As far as I am concerned it certainly means...

    Is Uncharted the best series of the last decade?

    I, Champollion, did my part: EU = Europa Universalis, HOI = Heart of Iron.

    Robocop - Remake

    You do realize that most of the satire was in the Sam Jackson segments right? So what you wanted was for the satire to be conveyed differently?

    Were they climbing in the Himalaya (sherpas!), the Alps, the Rockies? Was it set in present time or was it a period piece (no bright color clothing)?

    NBA 2013?14 Season

    You know you watched too much Treme when you wonder why none of the artists of the pre-all star games show at New Orleans are from New Orleans! EDIT: I see now that they saved it for half-time!

    If it ends up being 99/1 in Asia, 66/33 in North America and 75/25 in Europe, one has to wonder if the Microsoft shareholders will be amused, even if the Xbox division makes money.

    Robocop - Remake

    It is known that dancing is for pussies and that performing arts are not at all competitive... I think your testosterone level dropped a little by reading this thread so you should hurry and go watch some '80s action movies!

    Is Uncharted the best series of the last decade?

    Oh! Some of the Ace Attorney games are brilliant and extremely funny (btw there is a movie which is also surprisingly good!).

    Is Uncharted the best series of the last decade?

    Adding some contenders here: Yakuza Gears of Wars Mario Galaxy God of War Prince of Persia (Ubi's 1st reboot started in 2003) Forza Motorsport I still think Uncharted wins even if I have a particular affection for the Yakuza games.

    Robocop - Remake

    3rd grade, so it's all about coordination, psychomotricity and proprioception aka domesticating your body. Interpretive dance sounds like a good way to do it. Also an opportunity for children to discover something they might not know and to be creative. Win, win, win.

    Help finding a movie?

    I made an honest attempt and came empty handed. I would say you have the plot all wrong, which can happen when you sleep through a movie (in that case it might be K2 or even Cliffhanger). On top of that you could be wrong about the year you saw it (then it could be Vertical Limit). The other two...

    It was posted already earlier in the thread and I just now tried to watch it. I must confess that I lasted less than 5min, because in that time the only sentence that did not hit 'pants on head' on the bullshit-o-meter was " I am Roger Scruton." I mean it's broad generalization after broad...

    Minor spoiler for the movie, but Robocop is originally silver and then changed to black because of the marketing guy of the corporation.

    I still don't get the "no game for PS4" thing. For me there are three reasons to have nothing to play on a PS4: 1) Owning a good gaming PC and playing all multiplatform games on it. 2) Having very narrow taste in games - only into JRPG, not touching a game if it's bellow 95 on metractrics...

    Titanfall

    If it was a Microsoft Studios game I am sure it would have been an Xbox One exclusive, but since it's an EA game, I doubt Microsoft was willing to pay what EA would have asked for Xbox One exclusivity.

    The Evil Within - Betheseda/Shinji Mikami

    This remind me a bit of RE3, for the chaser obviously but also because it was the first in the serie that really put front and center the body of the main character: getting injured, grabbed, thrown around. This emphasis on the vulnerability of the main character really helps to generate...

    Titanfall

    As it is multiplayer only, X360 owners might prefer to get it on 360 rather than upgrade to a One.... unless there is cross gen play allowing you to upgrade without risking to lose your Xbros.

    If for obvious reasons there will be PC-only servers, do we know if there will be cross-gen multiplayer in the Xbox family?

    Styx: Master of Shadows

    I really love the idea of using a goblin as main character. I love it! That opens a lot of original gameplay and narrative possibilities. Let's hope they make a good use of them.

    That would be a compelling argument if the sales numbers of the new consoles were low and if both systems were taking dust on the retailers' shelves as gamers wait for great exclusives. That's not what is happening though: the consoles are flying off the shelves. In a way it's even worst for...

    Olympics Thread

    I like all this talk about the USA dominating baseball when in 5 Olympiads Cuba won three times and got silver the other two! USA got one gold and two bronze. Softball though: 3 gold out of 4. Also note that both sports are out of the Olympics for now (were already out in London in 2012).
