Just to be clear: This is NOT Left for Dead 3. It is just a way to show off the new engine.

There will be no Left for Dead 3 as people have speculated.

This will also not be Half Life 3. Valve does not make trilogies. It is a rule. And it is why they make such great games. They don't get complacent by cranking out the same titles.

There will be no #3s. Unless, they make a game called "3" just to mess with gamers.

You kind of can though. You just all join the same squad. Just all go down to Epsilon and join that one as it usually has the fewest in it.

It should be a no brainer of course, but I can't even seem to find games with my clan on which really stinks. The only way is to follow the meetup or have our own server.

It is made by the same guys as the Genesis and Shadowrun guys. But, the cool thing is that on Steam you get a ton of "free" content based on what others in the community have created.

I think the MP trophies depend on the game, which is what I think he was trying to say. For instance, the ACIV get to level 55 trophy is ridiculous.

A simple solution to this already exists. You can see in your trophies list that there are (under a title) a breakdown of separate trophies based on DLC. Make MP under a different heading. That way people without internet can get a plat.

But even more so, it allows you for getting a platinum, but doesn'...

Yes, but I think I have been experiencing the opposite of the framerate drop in that I get a slowdown of the game for everyone but me.

Got the 0 health yesterday, kinda p'd me off. However, I think I am, more often than not, on the other end of that.

For instance, I seem to get a lag in the whole game (is that rubberbanding) but I seem to move better than others. This results in me being able to pump some rounds into someone and step away. They die a 1/2 second later. It it weird, but I am getting to the point where it is affecting how I play.

I also get multi shots with my RPG (with...

How about getting my customizing my soldier instead of allowing my team to die without me because I have to waste time working on my unlocks.

From Albany to Buffalo, NY it is unavailable in all but 5 stores. So get out there, call ahead and get BF4, because I need some noobs to kill!

Nice blog. Great read. Sounds like my childhood, TBH, but the images that always get me are the early Final Fantasy and Dragon Warrior(Quest) imagery. Just plain, awesome fun.

28 Days Later is a great film. 28 Weeks Later...not so much.

Children of Men isn't really about an infection that makes people into zombies, but it is one of my favorite movies of all time.

Ad and Dragon are right.

This is pure flamebait, plain and simple. I don't know why you have a problem with that since you did it on purpose. Own up to it and next time think through how you post.

Flaming article is flaming. Last of Us (as the article states but not the headline) would be amazing on the Silver Screen.

@Gribble

Good to see someone else that can admit to making mistakes. So many people on the internet refuse to acknowledge a simple mistake.

OT: YEAH SONY SALES DIVISION!!!!

Plus everything else. You can't just plug a graphics card into a monitor and viola, GAMEZ!

The RAM, CPU, Mobo, GPU, power supply, drives, cables, controllers, wireless, etc make up the rest of the cost. (I'm pretty sure you know this, but others might not.)

So it is easy to say, Graphics Card X is better than consoles when standalone. But OEMs don't work without other parts.

It's weird. They really shouldn't matter. And I know this. I have seen some of my favorite games get lousy reviews while (imho) terrible games get wonderful scores.

Sometimes I will see a low review score and then dismiss the game. Why? I don't do this with anything else: not movies, music, or even beer (yes, beer has ratings, beer advocate is one of the more popular places to read them.)

So, why do we place such emphasis on one person'...

My first arcade:

Buttons. You paid $1 for 7 tokens and $5 for 40. The most expensive game was Street Fighter II when it came out: 2 tokens.

This was back in the day when you could smoke so there were ashtrays floating around. The owner didn't care that you put your pizza plate or soda on the machine.

The place was open until 2 AM. There were pool tables and a jukebox blasting music. And everyone that went there just got along. N...

So you read a comment but didn't read what it said, and your upset because it's not what you wanted the comment to be about? The comment is right there at the top of the thread.

Why do you care what other people say about a whiny virgin who gets excited when he hears the words "boobies."

My characters always have over the top names like:

Pill McKraken

That's not what it says. It says "Top 10 Video Game Chicks." The article just sounds like a teenage boy writing about his fantasies.

"Chicks" An article from the 40 year old virgin. Newsflash: Women don't like to be called "chicks." And second, half of the characters you are writing about are just wanking material found in most Japanese comic books.

If you are going to write about women in video games, pick strong female characters like Aveline (from AC Liberation), or Ellie from Last of Us or Anya Stroud from Gears.
