I don't want to argue about that too much... but I hope you get a different visual vibe from this:

SPOILERSPOILER_SHOW

than you do from that weird pastel impossibly flat cap I quoted above!?!?

[riley-o]

well i'm sure it'll be different from this too



i'm still not really sure what your point is ? the graphics look not that great ? or they look video gamey ? i don't think anyone here is playing it for the graphics ? it's not uncharted 3 we're talking about here

[Necrometer]

i don't think anyone here is playing it for the graphics ?

right, and I don't think there's anything wrong with that! I just wanted to hear someone else say it... which is an urge only present because of schwaig's posting of "impressive" pics

[riley-o]

oh weird

yeah i'll admit that all night long, this shit could look like a commodore 64 game if it has a ton of dungeons and skill trees and flower picking

this is one of the bioshock infinite directors talking:

"One of the first things we did when we started on BioShock Infinite was to draw a graph with y and z axes, and to say that one of those axes was the number of enemies in an encounter and the other was the range of those enemies," Levine said. "In the original BioShock, the entire game lived in one corner of that graph – few enemies, all at close range - so the Electro Bolt and shotgun were perfect. BioShock Infinite is going to have much greater ranges and, potentially, far more enemies, so we're greatly increasing the spectrum of encounters that are possible, and that requires the player use a broader set of tools."

that was probably my biggest issue with bioshock, so this is awesome. along with mass effect 3 and max payne 3, this might be my most anticipated game of 2012

I'm not sure why you are acting like the last guardian isn't a thing

[Spooky Apparition]

i already had my heart broken this year man. i can't set myself up for that again. until they set a release date for LG in stone i'm pretending like it doesn't exist. it's for the best

Anyone else buying Mario today?

Game rules so far

[Fuck...I'm Dave]

This might be a stupid question but are any of the Lord of the Rings games that have come out for xbox 360 and PS3 any good? They've been making a steady stream of games since the movies came out, I'm sure they're not great but are they bad? Middle Earth would probably be a pretty cool setting for an open world game.

getting pretty sick of the crapshoot that is trying to get the Gears Of War 3 achievement for finishing all chapters in co-op by playing online with random people

wish my brother didn't trade games in so quickly, he often plays the same games as me but he's always done with them before I even start playing them

[guardianoftheblind]

GOW3 made me do a complete 180 on the series. shit was terrible

[Comrade Slinky]

It was impressive how bad the competitive multiplayer was. Shortest amount of time I had a game before trading it in since the first fable.

[fallbacktostone]

GOW3 made me do a complete 180 on the series. shit was terrible

why

be specific

give examples

because the gow2 campaign was pretty bad

[guardianoftheblind]

it wasnt' so much the story as much, still same old cliche'd crap

i just basically meant the franchise itself. super boring. i guess i've actually always hated the series (GOW1 was definitely good back in 06 or whatever though) and had always succumbed to the peer pressure. plus it's longevity lies in the multiplayer and you couldn't pay me to play more of it. so, so bad

[jakebonz]

Sup?

[a world of no]

no

Sup?
