An interesting little piece, if a bit short.
I think that the actual context of the world and who Marcus is needs to be considered though. Before I go further: SPOILER WARNING! IF YOU HAVE NOT COMPLETED GEARS OF WAR 3 DO NOT READ ANY FURTHER! SPOILER ALERT!
Marcus has been a soldier his entire life, and is, arguably, the best of the best at what the does. While it may seem strange that he quickly makes peace with the death, this isn't as odd as you might ...
Ah, Black Friday, a day soley invented so that people can trample others to death in a shop and justify it because there was this thing on sale that they wanted. Whatever they wanted has usually sold out by time they get there, anyway :D
I know, I watched them all. He still never gives the impression that he has a clue what he's on about, though :D
Thank you, but I prefer my own security system; it's called a baseball bat, and I've had great success with it so far. It's genius lies within its simplistic but effective design. Also comes with embedded nails as an optional extra.
It's nice to see gaming getting more of a spotlight on shows like this, though you can really tell that the show's presenter is desperetely trying to keep up with everything and not managing it :D
In all fairness the Arkham Asylum claims were justified. Gamesmaster magazine were in the centre of fire for it as well.
On topic: You're always going to get hate comments for any review, it's just part of the gig. Videos like this don't really help.
If they had scored the game low, loads of people had complained. If they had scored the game a ten loads of people would have complained. And with this score, you guessed it, loads of people compl...
Well, to be fair it doesn't really have that much compeition apart from its own predeccesor.
I'm not actually sure if ST class a ten as "perfect" or not. I'm going to have to go look now :D
I reckon Deadpool would make for a good game, as would Hellboy. Both mix guns and hand-to-hand combat so it would allow for a good mixture. Deadpools utterly nuttiness would mean you could get away with a lot of wierd levels and daft moments, and Hell Boy's world has plenty of odd creatures and locations to use.
Agreed. After being sent it for review the only reason I'm still playing it is because I have to review it. It's a budget title, but that doesn't excuse a lot of the mistakes it makes
I'm just glad to see they've avoided the standard "versus" mode route in favour of co-op.
We can speculate the basics of the Galaxy mode thanks to details already confirmed in the singleplayer mode. As Sheppard goes through the game he has to gain the allegiance of various planets and people along the way, all of which presumably goes into the Galaxy mode. Co-op will presumably follow the same pattern.
Hmmm, that sounds pretty interesting. Without further details it's hard to speculate exactly how it would effect your singleplayer shanninigans, but you can color me intrigued so far.
I'm glad to see that it's not sounding like your typical multiplayer model, which is what I was most concerned about as I wanted them to craft something unique for the Mass Effect series.
I'm an agreement. It's hard to make a game when your lead character is incredibly powerful. That's actually the reason why I'm not a fan of the Superman comics. Of course you could create a game using a story hook that limits his powers, like Mortal Kombat managed to do, but then it feels a little cheap.
To those worried about the singleplayer being affected, it's worth remembering that Bioware are a freaking huge company, si I'd expect them to put a seperate team onto developing the online aspect of the game, and so the singleplayer shouldn't suffer for it.
Again, I'll use Brotherhood as an example; Ubisoft had a second team to work on the multiplayer side of the game, and the result was the singleplayer was still awesome and it delivered on the multiplayer...
I'm perfectly willing to give Bioware a chance to deliver something special.
After being suspicious about AC: Brotherhood's multiplayer and discovering it to be a fine addition to the series I'm willing to wait and see what they're planning before making a rash judgement.
I understand it, and I understand that it's extremely easy to become addicted. I was like that when I first started on the 360, but I quickly broke myself of the habit.
Now I'll chase down an Achievement only if I think it'll be a fun one to get, or if it's one that I think will challenge me in some way.
Personally I'm not that big on Achievements. I've piled up a fair amount of them simply because of the amount of games I have to play.
But I do have a mate on my friends list who takes it a bit far at times. I remember a while back when Kane & Lynch 2 was out, me and another friend were having some fun on the multiplayer, and my Chievo addicted friend refused to come on and play with us becase it wouldn't get him any Achievements. I asked him if it was a sim...
After reading the article I don't think I could really agree with the title. "an in-depth view," since you simply take the Google search stats and compare them in a few lines, which can be done simply by going to Google Trends.
I'll disagree with the description of it being a first-person RPG. It's an FPS, plain and simple, in my view.
Almost everything in this freaking world can be viewed as sexist if you choose to see it as such.
So the game refers to her as a "b*tch", which, according to the context of modern day language, can actually be used to describe a strong or assertive woman who can make men feel scared out of their pants which, correct me if I'm wrong, Catwoman sure as hell is. She kicks ass! I'd be scared of her!
But let me voice an argument here, taken in...
