speaking of which, what the fuck is up with Bioshock?  did this game really get so much attention because of OMG ATMOSPHERE?  all i've been doing for HOURS is running around having clumsy-ass shootouts and playing that fuckin hacking game 50 million times.  when does it get awesome?

[brawndolicious]

The gameplay gets better as you get the better weapons/ammo and once you mix and match your tonics.  The combat is designed around using those Evbe powers, the actual shooting feels kind of awkward.

[iconoclast]

I'll play it after I can get it for a bomba price. I actually thought it was already out in the US... must have got it confused with some other D-tier PS3 RPG.

Does Mass Effect get any better?  I just finished the first planet and it is so boring. :'(

nope sorry the whole game sucks

What? Man, the list of people on this forum with shit taste gets bigger every day.

So I was looking at BG&E on Steam for $10 and was wondering; is Ubisoft ever going to follow up on the sequel? What became of that "gameplay" footage? Was that even official or what was that? Hopefully we see something this E3, unless they announced that the game was cancelled.

Game was put on hiatus iirc

boring combat, too much talkie, sidequests sucks, mako sucks, only one lesbo scene

sorry doesn't add up to a good game

Mass Effect does suck. But Mass Effect 2 redeems it tenfold like delicious creampie in your butt

Go play some CoD you twitch-cigarillo.

i don't have a problem with story scenes as long as they aren't full of dull, monotonous conversations and loaded with graphical glitches

I decided to play along for a minute; each transformation, I thought OK, well, that's not so bad. And then at the 00:50 mark there's a cat girl on all fours in bandages.

Doom II hits XBLA this week. 

But it's $10. 

[ferrarimanf355]

Which one is better...
Blur or Split Second?

Don't listen to demi, Blur is where it's at.

Picking up the PS3 version tomorrow. Who else is?

[demi]

You havent even played either, you pathetic loser. Buy any flash games for your sis?

[ferrarimanf355]

Did you play the Blur beta?

[demi]

Yes, and I played Split Second. Blur is turd city

[ferrarimanf355]

Yes, and I played Split Second. Blur is turd city

Blur doesn't rely on one gimmick and has a lot more going to multiplayer.

Uh, you mean like the commercial advertises? Hey we're like Mario Kart

Mario Kart with some actual balance to the gameplay, and online multiplayer that won't suck.

Speaking in an interview published earlier this evening, he, however, didn’t quite rule out the project in question could  possibly be a collaboration with Capcom on Devil May Cry 5.

“I can say it is an unannounced game for an unannounced publisher,” Antoniades told us in Barcelona a couple of weeks ago during a Namco press event to promote Ninja Theory’s latest title Enslaved.

When pushed if it was DMC5, he added: “Well, there’s no way I’m gonna confirm or deny if we’ve got anything to do with it”

i think that pretty much confirms it. i will cry if true.

yeah, it's going to set the new bar for shit entries in good franchises.  It will make DMC2 look good.

[demi]

Blur doesn't rely on one gimmick and has a lot more going to multiplayer. 

The single-player Career mode in Blur features some brutal A.I. While I was desperately trying to master my drifting skills and just maneuver the game's treacherous tracks, the A.I. was busy launching attack after attack on me at the most inopportune moments.

Sometimes the A.I.'s ability to take me from first to 20th place with a barrage of shots just felt downright cheap.

a new fire emblem got announced
[youtube=560,345]#at=39[/youtube]

i would be quite excited if it wasn't for the fact that i hate fire emblem guts and it's probably the game that made me realize that i don't like SRPG in the first place that much

[MCD]

i play fire emblem for the story/characters (lol) but the ds one sucked in regard to that and this seems to be a sequel? meh.

[magus]

the ds one was a remake of the original so i was going to say that this couldn't be a sequel but according to a site,this is a remake of fire emblem 3,which is a follow up of fire emblem so i guess you are right

[MCD]

yeah, confusing shit.

[FatalT]

I rented Blur today and took back Red Dead Redemption. I've been wanting to rent Split/Second but it stays rented out. I'll definitely rent S/S after I finish with Blur.

I really love how linux users paid nearly double the windows peoples on average.  I heard that even with how you could pay as little as one cent, there was a lot of pirating of the last bundle.

I can understand if you want to pirate to save $60 bucks, but you have to be an entitled motherfucker to torrent something worth a penny.

As far as that goes, I think there's only Tomb Raider and Prince of Persia.  Wow.

[cool breeze]

on the 360? if you want mascot platformers, there are the two Naruto games.  They're half platformers, half fighting games.

[Jansen]

does every game need a sequel?

of course not. i just want more demon's souls. even if that means they just release DLC with new areas, equipment, ect.

sadly we're not getting any of that, and that's okay, but still disappointing.

[naff]

I don't know about the 360 ones but I played a lot of Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm which is pretty much the same (but quite a lot better from what I've heard) and that game f'in ruled. Also, NUNS2 is being released on 360 and PS3

[Bebpo]

MS & Ruffian are really going to be lucky with Crackdown 2.  Everyone (including myself) is buying it just because of the goodwill Crackdown 1 created.  If it turns out to be a crappy game, they'll still make bank and people will give them a chance again with Crackdown 3 when Realtime Worlds comes back to do it (with a new city and all).

The two Ubisoft-developed Naruto games are apparently entirely different than the PS3 fighting games. Oddly enough I was just thinking about them yesterday, because they're good examples of genre mixing. They've got the platforming stuff, running around town and outlying areas, foot racing, collecting coins to buy improved jutsu and equipment, and then at scripted spots Naruto is thrown into fights against other characters or their minions. The arenas are are just open flat spaces with set dressing themed identically to the game's current location. The fighting is pretty cool; trigger modifier plus thumbstick movement casts jutsu, but you have to strike to create openings to perform jutsu. I had a blast.

That seems a negative way to look at it. Ruffian is basically made up of Realtime Worlds members, so it's like they're riding the coattails of... themselves. Like pretty much any company which goes on to make a sequel. I'd say if anything, it's Realtime Worlds which may end up getting the benefit of the doubt on APB.

ninja theory 

Why so down on Ninja Theory? Sure they don't have a good great track record (they're pretty new) but as far as launch titles go not to mention first retail title from the dev Heavenly Sword was good and shows they have a lot of potential, and I think Enslaved looks nice, an obvious PoP clone but I'm betting on it being better than the last 2 Ubi titles.

Looking at some vids the Ubi ones do look really different. As I said I never played the 360 games, just NUNS. Guess I just assumed they were fairly similar. Definitely a fun game, I'm hoping NUNS2 has a good online component.

edit: apparently it does 

[chronovore]

Ah, the Ubisoft ones online component was a tournament structured set of matches. Players get 'cheevs for progressing to n points, which IIRC directly related to the number of matches you cleared. There were a maximum of 8 stages, and I think you could win 2 matches to clear the stage.

By the time I played it, no-one else was. The three times I tried to play, I lost badly in the first stage, restarted, lost in the second stage in a match with HIGHLY SUSPICIOUSLY TIMED LAG, restarted and then ran into a match against a player who'd previously beat me, that I proceeded to thrash, so he ragequit. FFFUUU...

So if online is your goal, you should probably stick with the pure fighter brand.

[Jansen]

Why so down on Ninja Theory?

because heavenly sword sucked. capcom could surely find a better dev to work on DMC5. or better yet they could do it internally!

[iconoclast]

or better yet they could do it internally!

you so crazy

A western developed DMC5 is guaranteed to suck regardless of who makes it, because a good western developed action game does not exist in the first place. I guess Ninja Theory is their best bet, since they at least tried to make something original, as opposed to everyone else just making second-rate clones of a second-rate game.

Hopefully Capcom wakes up and realizes they are just diluting their brands by farming them out to bad western developers. Though they've had some success with it so far, with SSF2THDR and Bionic Commando Rearmed. HDR was a special case, because the lead designer was a Super Turbo tournament champion who probably has more knowledge about the intricacies of the game than the people who originally created it.
