how does bish "check them"....?
The easiest way would be to ask them to send him an email from their work email address.

He as asked me how I obtained information before.

Only started reading the threads on this game today. People on both sides are abso-fucking-lutely insane.

It's going to be an OK third person shooter with graphics that look staggering for about 6 months until something better comes along. I've no idea why people are treating it as some sort of hallowed battleground.

Macusers A+ detective work in the abortion thread

Quote from: backslashbunny;129894995
Another GirlGAF opinion here:

I don't want children, but if I did have a child, I would want a boy. I don't want a girl.


I would probably abort until I had a male, if I were trying to have a child.

So I would be all for selective-sex abortion... in that it's my decision, isn't it? Besides, I don't consider a fetus to be a human. It's alive but not fully conscious at 16 weeks.

Yes, I am Asian-American. No, this has nothing to do with the family name or other Asian culture thing. I just personally feel like it's more difficult to be a female than a male in some ways, and I would worry about a daughter much more than a son.

I can't even see it being as good as Gears. Certainly not the first one anyway.

Don't get me wrong, I think it'll have more going for it than just a pretty face, but I'm just not seeing the makings of a masterpiece. That said, GAF got frothy as fuck over DriveClub, and that's mediocre at best. Still, those Order threads are fucking messy.

I loved Gears 1, story and Multi. Gears 2 was all durp netcode, never bought 3.

I agree with you about picking odd games to stand up for, but then again GAF always has.

IGN LAIR Review thread - 4.9 score

"Sixxaxis suckfest"

"Well, that finally does it--I've cancelled my preorder and put the cash towards NHL 08"

"Factor Five? More like Factor 4.9"

"This is what's called an outlier in statistics. I'm sure all the anti-Sony fanboys will post dumb ass gif after gif with joy, but the game is no 4.9. IGN isn't even being consistant with their own historical scores. How many games has IGN given a 6 or 7 to that are far worse? I'm guessing many. Either the reviewer just got charged with lewd conduct in an airport or he just has it out for Sony."

"No offence but are some of you guys missing some brain cells, one person did the preview & another did the review. Let's not forget that one is IGN UK & the other IGN, don't listen to whatever the IGN UK morons have to say, those idiots gave Red Steel a 8.0.

Hey guys,

I just skimmed the ginormous thread about some magazine giving Lair some pretty low scores.

Before I go any further, I'd like to give you some advice: for God's sake take it easy. Do guys realize you are being riled up over a game? The more fanatic of you remind me of some the fanboyism that plagued the Comic-con this year.

Please don't forget why we are playing games in the first place: to provide a temporary escape from our otherwise hectic/senseless/painful lives. If you want to fight over this as if you were fighting over religion, then you've got the wrong hobby.

Now:

I finally got the chance to give Lair a good 20 minutes of play time at the Comic-con. Quite frankly, "disappointed" is the very last term I'd use to describe my feelings towards Lair. In fact, it's more along the lines of "I can't wait for August 14th to come around".

First, what seems to matter to you the most; the controls. Let me be honest: most first-time Lair players will NOT get a grip with the controls from the get-go. This is why Factor 5 have assembled a series of practice tutorials that you can use to hone you're dragon-flying skills. These tutorials include basic/advanced flight maneuvers, and basic/advanced combat techniques. It is IMPERATIVE that you pass all of these tutorials before you play the game and end up bitching about the controls.

Once I was done with all the tutorials, I was given a choice of levels to choose from over a map. Factor 5 seemed to use disjointed Arabic letters for the map locations, apparently to give it a sense of mysticism. For an Arabic speaker like myself, I found it to be both silly and a bit of an honor. Moving on...

The level I chose was the now infamous bridge level.

Visuals: Once the level booted up, the production levels behind the game just hit me in the face like a train. Intricately designed bridges, massive armies, huge sense of scope, majestic looking water, and of course: your own dragon, which itself is a spectacle in in-game animation. When you you witness all of these things on your screen at once, prepare for a change of underwear. On the demo I played, there were STILL issues with the framerate, especially when you get close to the bridge for landing amongst the army. I asked the Sony rep if the final game will have any framerate problems. He said: "Probably not, because Factor 5 finished the game a few days ago." Things to note: high-polygon beasties, beautiful water effects, and the best in-game dragon animations ever. To say that this game is eye-candy is an understatement.

Mid-air controls: smooth and easy as pie (bare in mind that I spent some time with the tutorials to get the hang of things). Between level objectives, there is nothing more satisfying than swooping around the bridge and shooting down a few dragons and engaging in mid-air combat. The sock-puppetry of the mid-air fights are gone, and now your dragon transitions smoothly from one well placed claw-swipe to a streaming breath of fire. Needless to say, these scenes are some of the coolest in the game.

Ground controls: Not as easy, but not a complete disaster either. You have the choice of swiping te enemy with your claws, shooting fire, or stomping the ground. The biggest problem here was the camera, where it almost always gives you a fine view of your dragon's arse. This definitely doesn't help if you have soldiers throwing harpoons at you from behind, or if you have a giant rhino charging in to ram you. I wasn't aware if this problem will be remedied by the game's release, or if there were any camera controls to try and improve the situation.

A couple more minutes later and I was done, desperately hungry for more.

Now, with all due respect to some reviewers out there, what I played was (IMHO) NOT average gaming material. The visuals don't allow it, its production values don't allow it, the gameplay doesn't allow it. All this said, one man's trash can always be another man's treasure, so my advice to you is to wait for the demo, download it, play it, be floored, then frantically run for your nearest game store to secure yourself a copy of what is sure to be one of the most memorable gaming experiences on the PS3 this year.

Haze was extra funny due to the massive Halo ribbing the writer was giving before release.

the more i hear about the last of us, the less i want to play it. jesus at that those scores

the hyperbole is in full force.  it doesn't revolutionize anything, but has a cool premise+story that blend well with the gameplay, solid mechanics (but not mind-blowingly amazing...just stealth and some action that feels good), pretty good writing, great VA, great graphics+art direction, and there's a lot of content.  I would rate it pretty high, but i'm not about to give it a reach around.

and you're surprised some people would give it a 10 with all you have said  ???

the issue is the massive overhype because of what a score like that is represented in game media (i.e its perfect in every way)

an honest 1-10 scale would put it more 8 or 9.  the gameplay is solid, but not anywhere near 10 material.  I'd put the gameplay at 7, with the non-gameplay elements bumping it up a point or 2.

im not buying the straight perfects. and with all the ass sniffing and "what this game has done to me" nonsense that people have been spouting since its release? i couldnt be objective if it tried at this point

if the game came with blowjobs and chocolate instead of scores of 10s which seem suspect as hell, i might give it a thought

well, i only discriminate against lolis and i just played the game a few months ago without paying attention to hyperbole, so you've got my honest opinion.

Yeah. Stand firm on your opinion of review scores for a game you haven't played. I can respect that.

Last of us is a good game guise.

Order looks average as fuck from the leaked videos I've seen. For Last of Us, there was a lot of positive buzz bubbling before the reviews hit -2 weeks before release since Sony was so confident. Last I checked, reviewers still don't have copies of The Order.  :teehee

Having a firm opinion on what people you've never met think of games you've never played falls firmly under 'bullshit' to me.

That said, I'm not a fan of arguing about videogames so I'll just say that I can kinda understand your cynicism. Hype is the mother of disappointment.

It's a super homogenized game mish mashing last gen concepts with graphics tech that's basically hitting the check list for every other post-Gears TPS like Dark Sector and dozens more forgetful games without anything that made Gears good in the first place (Fast paced, lots of variety in the action, didn't fuck around with Cutscenes too much)

But then they should have stopped after the GOAT was released



:rejoice :rejoice :rejoice

So instead of playing the game and forming your own opinion which could be used to fight off the fucking idiots you write it off wholesale because of those
fucking idiots and in essence become those fucking idiots.

great plan dude.

And i can't believe SmokeyDave is making sense here  :lol

So you are proving both of my points then? (its more the overhype and what a "10" is represented as instead of it maybe being an alright game).

Actually Pushkin went to Turkey but never wrote Turkish poems.

I was mocking the back and forth and also reminding everyone that there are more worthwhile pursuits than getting mad about vidya. For example, making macaroni art.

but you apparently don't give a shit to play it because of those idiots doing essay papers, etc then passing it as your own opinion on the game.
