With all the money Activision has, a spare half billion for marketing should be enough to sell copies to homeless people.
Pass. I don't do multiplayer anything.
Totally depends on how many you've had. I refuse to play anything when I hit the point of being too blitzed to drive a real vehicle - if I'm at that point, I've already lost all coordination, and trying to game is useless.
On the other hand I smoke the green every single day, so every game I play, I play fairly stoned. No problems there!
You know what I missed most in GTA IV? Fun.
It's a placeholder... and even if Mr. Moneybags tried to buy it, they wouldn't get anything other than an error message I would guess. They list the price so high so no one tries to purchase it.
Seems to me this isn't anything new - weren't the Fallout 3/New Vegas DLCs also dropped on Xbox first? Also the PC crew have mods to play around with, so they won't feel the pain as much as the PS3 crowd.
Ugh, by the time this comes out, I'm sure I'll have moved on. Reminds me of how long it took for the Fallout: New Vegas DLC to drop. I think the sweetspot for the release date would have been somewhere in February/March - pushing it off until summer is far too late.
I've only barely tasted the demo, but it's getting my $$$ tomorrow. So, yes, definitely.
Having grown up with video games since the days of PacMan & Defender in the arcade, I fully agree with this article. Even the worst looking games nowadays (say, Deadly Premonition?) are a million miles away from where it all started. If you can't get past poor graphics, well, sucks to be you.
I haven't tried this yet, because not only do I typically not go in for multiplayer war games, but also because I completely suck at them. Good to know that if I do bother with it, at least there's a role in it that'll suit me.
I just scooped this up on eBay last week for $5. It's quirky, it's creepy, it's funny, and other than the reversed control scheme (man I wish you could change that, but you can't) I'd say it was worth what I paid for it. You get 80 challenges across 5 levels, each ranked from A-C, so there's some replay value in it other than watching the King prance around.
I was just starting to watch the reveal trailer last night when my wife started to crack up. When I asked her what was so funny, she turned to me and said 'So, when are you taking your dragon lessons?'. Good point - I hope Bethesda includes some kind of 'dragon tongue for dummies' so we can pronounce the shouts correctly.
They made this game for my 8 year old son, right? There can't really be anyone over the age of say, 12-13, who honestly thought this was going to be the next big Star Wars thing, right?
Well, so far, so good. I didn't get much time in with it over the weekend, but I haven't noticed any problems with it thus far. I've seen reports that the fog effect is missing but not on my copy.
I just picked this up on lunch, can't wait to get home & crack a cold beer + this game. I've only ever had a chance to play SH2 & 3 a handful of times (although I owned SH1 back in the day, and completed it then) since they were released, so I am glad to have this no matter what the review scores say.
What is this iPad you speak of? Is it some sort of internet-enabled feminine hygiene product?
Are you extra happy, Zach? I think I am, but it looks like NYC_Gamer doesn't like us much. Maybe he just needs a cup of coffee?
I've got nothing against the Indie devs, in fact I know the guys from Xona games (Decimation X, Score Rush), but if there wasn't so much utter crap on the Indie channel I might pay more attention to it. Try Not to Fart? Baby Maker Extreme? Are we all still 8?
I never knew 'The Tetris Effect' was an actual medical condition, but I've seen it myself many a time, depending on what I was currently playing.
I quite often find myself gaming in my sleep, which in most games isn't a problem, but at times when I'm playing RPGs I end up in a loop where I come to a branch in a path, follow one path to the end to discover I took the wrong path. I backtrack to the other path, follow it to the end, discover I must have miss...
I only resort to guides in most games for things like collectibles, or if I'm going for cheevos. Now I will admit that when it comes to Bethesda games (Fallout 3, Fallout: New Vegas, Skyrim) that I always buy the guides when I buy the games - there's so much to see & do in those games, that I'd be sure to miss something somewhere without them.
