I loved Wipeout XL on PS1 but for some reason never bothered to play any of the later games, which are the best ones?

HD + Fury expansion, easily. If you have a Vita, you can use both of them along with 2048. But the smaller "controller" kinda fucks up HD and Fury's tracks, IMO.

So what?  It was supposed to be awesome and has a level editor, IIRC.  I've been meaning to pick it up but wasn't able to find it during my last two trips to teh nippon.

What does Bobby Roberts actually do? Why do people let him see movies in advance and disseminate his opinions when that spot in the theater could go to any one of so many better people?
I don't know, but that spoiler thread sucks. It's like fucking stop hogging the spotlight and tell us what happen in the movie.

No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever. There is no greater power in the universe than the need for freedom. Against that power tyrants and dictators cannot stand. The Centauri learned that lesson once. We will teach it to them again. Though it take a thousand years, we will be free.

How did everyone not just walk away from him then, because that's how I would have handled that.

Sorry, I'm saying that that probably didn't happen. The post is the one someone made about Battlefield 1 on GAF.

Not that a person who believes in the existence of spoilers (the only admittedly pop science study I've read on the subject indicates that foreknowledge of a work slightly enhances enjoyment, quite the contrary of the myth of ruination) wouldn't forgo the opportunity to be a drama llama and faint, though.

Someone once shouted at me across a party to not spoil the game when I mentioned that the Brotherhood of Steel was in a Fallout game (Fallout 3) in a conversation with someone else.  I made an ass of myself in response so tbh I probably wouldn't just move slightly to the left in this hypothetical but instead shout something like, "Wow, I hate to see how this guy handled Kylo Ren being outed as Han and Leia's kid."

I just feel for people who are getting bummed out by these reviews and treated like what they want from the product is a mediocre gaming experience when what they want is in fact an excellent visual experience. If a game says its a platformer then we shouldn't attack it for not being a RTS and in the same right, if a game says its visually stunning then we shouldn't attack it for gameplay. People are even recommending not to purchase this game hence victimizing people who pre-ordered it. Its rather insensitive to come out and tell people not to buy something they've put money towards... AFTER THE FACT. No one likes to be judged for their purchasing decisions so this judgmental atmosphere at the very least seems rather anti-consumer. Aren't media supposed to be on the consumer's side?

So I guess we should judge the uncharted games more harshly since they have so much filler gameplay between the handful of great set-pieces? :doge

I would have preferred it if the remaster of Uncharted 2 found a way to lop off two~three hours (the god damned smurf nonsense, plus various extraneous platforming sections, encounters and cut-scenes). Arrange modes don't have to be an arcade game thing u kno

After reading through Jim Sterlings review, you can tell that it reads like a 9.5 review except for cliches contained both in the game and on forums. As in, 1 - Nathan murders without remorse and 2 - The game is predictable due to being the 4th entry in a series of similar games. For longtime fans, if you read it, it's a 10/10 because those are nitpicking we've either come to expect or are not bothered by.

It's coming from a good place (reading the review and not just the score) but  :lol

It's a good game that has a bunch of stupid fanboy drivel going on reviews and other meaningless crap.  As if any of the people interested in it would actually be swayed by some website giving it an 8.0 or whatever instead of a 10.  Never understood why people get up in arms over shit like this.
