welp

[milkmandan]

Yeah, but can you at least fly or do anything cool? This sounds like no fun. Do you get to shit? Will a fart give away your position?

the base game is an uber-hardcore military sim, so yeah. Just about any military vehicle you can imagine.

We found a school bus on the server tonight - about 15 of us piled in and drove around shooting pubbies. It ruled

[milkmandan]

[Masochrism]

where does RAGE lie in all of this?

[Wang Mandu]

Nowhere? Besides sharing a first person perspective, Dishonored and Rage have nothing in common.

[guardianoftheblind]

ok

Carmack talking about VR technology. Pretty interesting stuff.

[fallbacktostone]

dishonored looks nice and all but gimme a fucking break. that shit aint original or anything

[Wang Mandu]

What is original these days? The gameplay possibilities sound a lot more refreshing than what usually gets hyped. One example they've been saying in previews is a guard shoots at you, you freeze time, possess the guard and then position him in front of his own bullet.

[fallbacktostone]

whatever dude we'll see

you're the one giving wildly inaccurate numbers to already bloated sequels like a total BULLY

so we'll see wont we

[Wang Mandu]

I'm just happy to upset certain people here.

[fallbacktostone]

[guardianoftheblind]

you mean everyone?

[Wang Mandu]

Ok

[guardianoftheblind]

the ps3 netflix UI looks like it was designed by a high school full sail applicant transferred onto VHS

[Spooky Apparition]

so it turns out that first demo of the last of us was almost completely unscripted, which people at first refused to believe because the enemy's reactions were so complex. it looks like pure stealth is an option in a lot of cases, and maybe encouraged. this game is going to be awesome

[guardianoftheblind]

are you fucking stupid the game looks like shit

It looks pretty ridiculous:

-sneaks into abandoned building
-hides behind desk from enemy
*BLAM* shot directly in the chest from second enemy in doorway
G- are you okay?
BA- *grumbles* yea it was nothing

Still I think it will be a blast and am really excited about it

Last of us
Dishonored
Borderlands 2
1313
Quantum Conundrum
I can all get behind

Watch Dogs is going to fucking suck
