Well in a bit of news no one gives a fuck about. I finally finished Red Faction Guerilla. In my quest to beat all my PS3 games I currently own before playing new ones, I bought this one off credit card points for like $5 and it was fun to play. Well it was the first time, then my PS3 died twice causing me to replay half of it twice. The game is mindless fun but the graphics have aged poorly. Not sure they were great when the game came out. So I knocked that out and booted up L.A. Noir which is fun as hell, but holy fuck it is a thinking man's game. Also, Assassin's Creed Brotherhood feels like a fucking chore to play. Assassin's Creed 2 at least allowed you to give a shit about the storyline. I'm not even what the fuck is going on storyline wise in Brotherhood except the Borgia's are bad and that's it. I just got to the part where you're recruiting assassins. Don't even ask me about what the fuck is going on in the "real world" that shit is even more confusing. As wonderful as Black Flag looks I'm definitely going to be skipping Revelations and just read about everything online.
RIP Westwood. Great fucking studio. Also, fuck DotA, fighting games is where it's at. <a class="postlink" href="http://www.saltybet.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://www.saltybet.com</a>
Dude, you didn't know? Saltybet is all about AI vs AI MUGEN battles now. It's like virtual cockfighting with shitty fanfiction characters. Fucking brilliant.
Goddammit I'm ready for GTAV to be released. Quite possibly the best franchise of all time. And don't give me that Saint's Row bullshit, a clunkier, uglier GTA rip-off. Rockstar broke the mould with open world sandbox games.
You shut your whore mouth. Saints Row is in no way trying to be grand theft auto. There are stark contrasts between two And the storyline is much hokier. Saints row takes itself far less seriously. But I will gladly play both.
Holy shit, I'm surprised you can put on jeans without getting your dick caught in the zipper with this level of idiocy. It's like calling Reno 911 a rip-off of Cops instead of the parody it is clearly meant to be.
The graphics, gameplay, frame rate, etc. are all inferior to GTA. I never said anything about the story or style. Start a nerd fight elsewhere and stop worrying about my dick.
Play nicely, kids. I can only speak for the PC versions, but GTA4 is more realistic in its outlook (i.e. pretty easy to die, even while driving, no character leveling) while SR3rd is much more cartoon-ey (e.g. possibilities of unlimited ammo and health once reaching a required level) - N.O.O.S.E. cops of GTA 4 are about the worst you get in that game, compared to the 'roided -out Brutes and "aliens" of SR3. Also, Professor fucking Genki - I cannot take any of those mascots seriously. I've played through GTA4 a few times and felt the storyline itself was a bit crap - nothing you did as Niko would ultimately change the ending of being a dirtbag criminal, even if you were a good guy and didn't spray innocent civilians or kill hookers. Not sure about SR3 yet, since I haven't finished it, but it's still fun.I don't think the two games can really be compared that closely. Maybe I just expect too much out of my games based on the multiple outcomes of Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas. Also, as far as I know, SR4 isn't out for another week, while GTA5 will only likely be coming to PC sometime next year.
You called it a rip-off, which encompasses a lot of things. Saints Row's graphical hiccups are well documented, but the gameplay is on par with GTA. And the style is fully its own, so calling it a rip-off is just plain dumb. Although I do think it's cute that you throw around "nerd fight" like it's some kind of derogatory term as you post about a video game on a message board. Get the fuck out of there with your nonsense. In fun news, a gold farmer has her gold stolen. Best part? Apparently her boyfriend helped rip her out of $75K and only got $500.
So this is happening. 8 games for under 5$. The list includes: Dead Space Burnout Paradise: The Ultimate Box Crysis 2: Maximum Edition Mirror's Edge Dead Space 3 Medal of Honor The beat the average games (<5$ at the time of posting): Battlefield 3 Sims 3 + Starter Pack All Origin keys + Steam keys for everything except Dead Space 3, Battlefield 3 and Sims 3.
Goddamn. Horrible timing. I have a new computer on the way that will run all of these pretty well (upgrading my 9800GT to an HD 7770, which while not top-end is still worlds better), and I start law school on Tuesday. Fuck me.
I was looking at pre-orders for the ps4, was on amazon and ebgames, there canadain sites, because they will not ship to Canada from the american sites. On amazon.ca there are 2 pages of games, and on .com there are 4 WTF? What games are you looking forward to on the ps4? So far it seems most the titles are ps3/ps4 360/one. I cant wait for thief 4, I will wait for the ps4 version if they are release on different dates.
So... Rockstar just announced this, to go along with GTA V. It's free with every retail copy of GTA V. Holy shit.
While that does look awesome, I'm wondering what "free" actually means. I think, with that video bragging about how Rockstar will be constantly developing the Los Santos world, that they must be charging for something, e.g. having to pay for mission unlocks or certain modes, or possibly charging on a subscription basis like WoW. Let's face it - they have programmers and designers and such to pay, too.
