Anyone notice the Skyrim helmet too?

"Unnatural"..?

Like grafting a dogs head onto a cat or attaching mini-guns to a donkeys feet?

I hope they don't do that.

Pretty sure the devs aren't really christian...at least not in the strictest sense. As Bill Hicks said "I didnt know 'though shalt not kill' had a footnote".

If its satire, its so off-target as to be idiotic.

Its just a couple of guys trying to get their game sold and some money in their pockets/name in lights.

Does it excuse it?...of course not.

In Yorkshire, UK, we have a name for this sort of perso...

I am half way through and its great.

For the price the play time is really good too.

Its been a series in creatively stagnant waters for 4 or 5 installments now.

This new game looks like Advanced Warfare/Blops 2 and Titanfall mushed together.

To be clear AW was actually pretty good but its the lack of any evolution in the series which is ore irksome. AW's MP was quite frankly a sub-standard copy of Titanfalls with maps that didn't make the most of the new exo-abilities.

There are ways to innovate without changing th...

Easy....Borderlands 2

Dynamite value which puts Actvision and EA to shame frankly.

Ok, fair enough, maybe next time just lead with 'Casual gamers' rather than 'fake girl gamers'. I know lots of casual gamers that are men.

I do agree that CoD has a superb and easy to pick up control system. That said the online match-matching is such that you can feel like the whipping boy if you aren't one of the better people playing it and end up against much high ranked /prestige players, and in a game which focuses so heavily on KDR.

A good sign.

An embargo often means the dev has something to hide but its often under banner of 'not wanting poeple to give out spoilers', when it reality its them not wanting cancellation of pre-orders till the game has actually arrived.

A good game will generate its own word of mouth so early reviews show confidence.

Very excited.

Youre right...I don't agree so automatically I must suck. (Just ignore my comments bout me being a middling player, based on leaderboards, etc). Plus just throw in some casual sexist comment, that definitely backs up the point.

IMO As Call of Duty has changed more and more into a twitch shooter, which is focused on guns (like you say) and is heavily influenced by the quality of your internet connection, it has got less accessible to noobs and casuals.

I d...

I agree. The series reached a peak with MW3 where the punishing learning curve became off-putting. Games are meant to be fun and whilst some CoD-heads may love this about the game, it can be a little frustrating for a casual.

Unlike more objective based games which allow you contribute just as much to point scoring even if you not the greatest shot, CoDs weighting towards TDM/KDR means if you are not much cop you are just meat for the grinder.

As a middling-p...

Exactly

...and I personally prefer my meta news sites without bigots and homophobes... but not everyone gets their wish.

What's gay agenda? Acknowledging that homosexuals exist?

As for feminism, I doubt many of the people who use it as stick to beat people with actually know what it means. They just think it means 'women having an opinion'.

This absolutely needs dealing with.

Its not about me-too-ism, more about reflecting the fact that 50% of the people on the planet are female. Plus anyone else fed up of playing a 24-35 year old white guy (the usual gaming protagonist)? I am one of those, I know whats its like.

A female character would be the perfect way for a lot of these stale franchises to mix it up a little. Female characters (that aren't just love interests) would add a new dynamic to...

Its a good solid game, you should enjoy it. Though you may want to squint at some of the uglier bits.

Seem to be a lot of people assuming colourful and bright means childish.

Perhaps people have forgotten that not all adult games used to be grey and brown colour pallets with no jokes.

Sunset Overdrive is certainly not for children and whilst its irreverent sense of humour didn't always work with me, its anarchic selection of weapons were fun and interesting.

Is it good enough that it took so long to fix? No.

Is The MCC a good value collection of great games with bags of content which now works absolutely fine? Yes, yes and yes.

Put it this way, if I had lived in cave and just bought this game, i would wonder what all the fuss is about it being broken as it works now.

It is worth buying and it will keep you occupied or ages.

But yes the early mistakes cant be forgotten.

Not played Infamous but have the other two, Sunset OD isnt a perfect game but it is one of the best of last year.
