Yeah it really can't be underestimated how incestuous the relationships between VG reviewers and publishers is. Reviewing sites push for contacts and communication to get inside scoops and in turn they publish hopeful words. Plus if a game is a couple months away the amount of positive attention...

NV on release was a great but buggy game, but they've tightened it up a lot. I'd actually rate FO3 as being better because: 1. It was original (if you care). 2. I liked DC much better than New Vegas. (I grew up in Las Vegas and downtown New Vegas was much pretty much a joke. Plus I don't...

some.. wha? Shit, do I look like Itzena?

Hodj the secret to making a compelling RPG is a focus on casual gameplay, first person view with 55FOV and transexual romance options.

I don't like shopping in general but that video makes black friday look fun like a physical gameshow. Actually they should have a black Friday gameshow. Set up an obstacle course and just have a thousand people rushing to pay half price on a TV set. Yeah I guarantee you most of those...

Those are some good games, maybe I'm just getting old but I'm only excited about a few of them. It probably doesn't help that some of the games you listed I'm excited about I can't play yet ! (GTAV, AC4).

Khalid please stop pressing the button on the noise machine.

Khalid you kidding? Arguing that shit would be like forum christmas for him.

hodj you have a right to a point of view. You just don't have a right to tell us about it over and over in as many words as your keyboard can output.

I've seen people talk shit about this 70% shit and I don't get it. It was his first 5 round title fight against a guy with great cardio who usually fights strong for five rounds. The only way he'd remain competitive in the 4th and 5th round is if he went ~70% and didn't gas himself. I do think...

Heh, looking at that list makes me feel like 2013 was not a great year for games. I guess one should expect that of a year before new consoles get released.

First, VGX is fucking stupid and someone deserves to be punched in the face for the name change. Second, this shit shouldn't happen till the end of January.

Heh, in my most recent FONV playthrough I beat the entire gameworld, all the DLCs and a host of mods. But when it came time for Mr. House to ask me to kill the brotherhood I told him no thanks and left the main quest unresolved. There's something actually intriguing to the idea that you can...

Yeah even singleplayer games are a lot more fun when they come out and everyone is playing them together. Another reason why I hate staggered releases! fuck you I want to play AC4.

fucking loved the mako. But I love sandbox style games and the mako sections were the most sandboxy. A space sim where you fly around with space combat and can land on various planets and take them over with ground forces would be amazing. It'd be like mount and blade in space + freelancer + x3.

Controls in DA2 are fine. Hodj is just a baddie who needs to get carried but can't in singleplayer games. From the PC side you see games that are watered down to support being playable with a controller. The FPS genre is basically dead to me because the gameplay is so slow compared to quake...

Who is the villian of AV2?

That shit would be great if they could present Thanos as a compelling enough villian. You can't just make Darth Vaders out of thin air.

You think he tapped out to that sick underhook GSP had? I saw the tap when it happened but it made no sense because GSP's guillotine wasn't anywhere near threatening. It was almost certainly just a weird hand movement that happened to look like a tap.

another thing that's lost on this is that GSP really proved he can take a punch and keep coming. In fact I'd argue that once he started getting hit he switched to a much more aggressive style. He may not have been able to come back from it but that proved he has the heart of a champion in a way...

you make a good point. I guess I'm conflating the actual scoring mechanism with it being a champion fight and how bad GSP was hurt. From his own words he doesn't remember huge parts of the fight.

Thor inheriting the odinforce for avengers 2 would make him completely outclass the rest of the avengers even more, right? yup.

I still feel pretty good about saying this was the worst decision of all time. Maybe I'd change my mind if I looked at the round to round scoring but the bottom line is that GSP got his ass kicked on Saturday, did very little to Hendricks and kept his title.

"That concise and well laid out statement is not my argument, it is a strawman. Here is my argument: *couple pages of regurgitated talking points with no real substance*".

If I made a mod for this it would automatically download and launch X3.

No idea, sorry, but I'd guess no. I didn't use these when I built my BG2 installation a year or two ago but from what I just now looked up these are probably the best resources to get everything in order: FAQ for the Megamods. - Mega Mod Help - Spellhold Studios BWP v12 - Mega Mod Help -...

I never liked 'damned if you do, damned if you don't' character choices. Surprising bad outcomes from well intentioned decisions are realistic but they are still annoying and make you not care about the world. Maybe it's just the lawful good in me but I like to enter in a world of shit and...

DA2 being shitty because Bioware did a shitty job of appealing to a larger demographic doesn't demand that all appeals to a larger demographic are going to result in shitty games. This statement basically refutes your argument so I'm going to declare victory.

It's not a complex argument even if you convolute it with too many words. DA2 sucked because they made dumb decisions not because they gave it the CoD treatment.

Nah. The debate is whether or not Bioware can appeal to casuals and female gamers and the old school RPG crowd.

It's like you're just regurgitating talking points without regard to context or what you're saying. Small government, low taxes, Christian nation, get your hands off my medicare. EA wanting to milk their IPs, targeted towards casuals, appealing to the broadest demographic

These awkward convoluted choices in quests never resonated with me. The best moral choices were more subtle and driven by player desire, greed and ambition. Most quest-based moral choices involve choosing a personality for a character (good/evil, typically) and then being offered a good or evil...

Hodj, the 'games used to be good before they started making them for dirty casuals' argument is pretty easy to make, especially on this forum but you're screwing it up. Also brevity is the soul of wit.

This is pretty much your flawed reasoning here. You're assuming that Bioware sat down and said, "Ok, we need to distribute the budget. Because we're spending X dollars on designers, devs, writers and artists to do romance options for the characters we simply can't ensure that the encounter...

hodj did you ever play BG2? There's more romance shit in that than there is in DA2.

The other thing I forgot to mention is that when Carcetti was campaigning to become Gov he promised half of whatever funding to another district. That money was supposed to make it morally acceptable to skip to the governor's seat instead of fixing bmore.

I saw this one years ago when I played cstrike. It was like 5 hours past my bed time and I went to bed immediately after because I thought I was hallucinating since nobody knew it was there when I asked.
