That line of thinking is . The Uncharted games are good but they're not beyond criticism. The "monsters" in the second one were unbelievably retarded and really showed how poor writing and scripting is in video games. As SOLH said, it's fine for the first one but they were just repeating themselves in the second one. Don't get me started on how awfully designed the last boss is.
“The ‘90s generation of gamers all love Xcom and we own the IP, so we thought OK, what do we do with it? Every studio we had wanted to do it and each one had its own spin on it. But the problem was that turn-based strategy games were no longer the hottest thing on planet Earth. But this is not just a commercial thing – strategy games are just not contemporary.”
That’s the beauty of modern video game publishers, they’d rather fail in the most popular genre than succeed in a niche.
if there's anybody in the world who'd be fucking unobservant enough to actually damage themselves with trap-soap I guess it'd be the guy with dialup in 2007
Haha, it's so true. They all think they can make a 10 million copies sold blockbuster. The crowd they want to sell that game to has no idea what XCom even is.
Which one would you recommend for a first timer? Apocalyse?
nooooooo definitely go for the first one first. when/if you beat that, do terror from the deep. i think i'm one of like 5 people in the world who likes apocalypse

this fucks up my whole video game schedule and subsequently my five year plan...
Tell us of the plan, Riley.
I actually am so disorganized on this. I know Deus Ex comes out sometime this summer and I know Batman is out in the fall. What else is oozing its way out of the slimy nether regions of game developers this year that I should care about? Mass Effect 3 is next year, yes?

Haha, might as well get that entire pack then. Thanks.
Dark Souls and The Witcher 2 ( ) in the Fall as well.

HAHAHAHAHA!!! The violence in that game is so over the top, it's ridiculous. I'll pick this one up sometime...
After Batman:AA I can never play a God of War style beat 'em up again. The violence is cute but ever since the early 2K era when I finally got to see all the ultra violent films I ever wanted to see ( Iche the Killer for instance ) and after watching all the ECW and Japanese death matches I'm completely immune to the charms and wonders of violence.
My cast has been replaced with a brace that actually allows me to hold a controller again for the first time in six fucking weeks. First order of business: beat the Splinter Cell Conviction campaign for the millionth time. Tomorrow I'm getting Infamous 2. I is excited.

just do it already
It's 15 bucks so, yeah.
Then I'll come cryin' to you all about how I can't even get past the menu screen...
Just make sure you do it in the Demon's Souls thread (and do try to start getting the game's name right ahem cough), or there's going to be a whole lot more people doing a whole lot more crying...

On this play-through all I'm into Telekinesis and Sonic Boom (Bioshock). I also don't remember but it seems like I'm killing a hell of a lot more women than men. Which is very fine for The Bill, I just can't remember. Perhaps later levels are more dude heavy. Also, I think the Big Daddies are stronger in this one than 2. I can't remember have much issue with them in 2, but unless I plan ahead it's like Clash of the Titans fighting these guys. One thing is staying the same though. Fuck the little Sisters, I have no sympathy for the creepy bitches.
I dunno, it's 720... that's like half the pixels. You already have a bluray player, man! it's not like you won't benefit from the crisper picture on a 40-42"
I just presume anything other than Samsung/Sony is going to be a piece of shit not so much because I've had any bad experience, but because pretty much everyone with a brain has a Samsung/Sony
I could be wrong
but seriously anyone with a Samsung is happy, they're the kings of HDTV
good thing I'll be dead soon, cause I'm tired of liars winning
