diablo iii for consoles confirmed

(although it does just say "diablo console project" so that's a little bit concerning that they could just be making a diablo game for consoles)

Guess this explains why it feels so neutered

If DIII isn't looking good for you, Path of the Exile and Grim Dawn should more than make up for it.

hmm I'll keep that in mind.

I wasn't impressed with the D3 demo. It just didn't feel right. If the full version ends up being better, I'll get it, but the demo was meh.

You're just jelly that you didn't have SOJ.

To drink the pain away after dropping $2800 on this piece of shit.

[riley-o]

are you playing ico or shadow of the colossus ?

[Gunther]

ICO. you got a problem with my choice here

[riley-o]

nah, just curious. haven't played ico yet, glad to hear it's good ! have you played shadow of the colossus before ? it's fucking awesome

[Gunther]

ico does rule and you'd love it i'm sure. just go buy the set and man up. i haven't played much of shadow of the colossus before which is a fault i'm going to fix in my life.

[riley-o]

I ALREADY HAVE THE SET I JUST HAVEN'T PLAYED IT YET

[Gunther]

why are you being so fucking difficult? i've only had it on for a few minutes. just really impressed with how it looks since i already know ico is awesome.

PUT DOWN THE COMIC BOOK AND PUT THE GAME IN YOUR GAMEBOX

A REAL XCOM REMAKE

[james]

"Re-imagining is probably a better term. Firaxis' XCOM: Enemy Unknown doesn't directly copy the underlying game systems – for instance, soldiers have different stats than they did in the 1994 original – but the concepts are still here."

ambivalent

[fallbacktostone]

i'm cautiously optimistic jame

why would you want a direct copy anyway? i still play the original when i need to..

it looks like they maybe brought some of the table top warhammer 40k influence.

[copstache]

x-com by the people who made civilization?

[fallbacktostone]

and even cooler?

i didn't even know this existed until i got the new game informer from my MAILBOX

[copstache]

i think i heard of it on tuesday, so it snuck up on a lot of people

i'm a very happy boy

[Wolfey]

AWESOME

I've already pre-ordered a bunch with my special super secret Amazon moneys. Going on gut feeling and faith with these:

Silent Hill HD Collection
Soul Calibur V
The Darkness II
Syndicate
Mass Effect 3
Max Payne 3
The Witcher 2 (360)
Aliens: Colonial Marines
BioShock Infinite
Halo 4
Tomb Raider
Far Cry 3
Prey 2


I have my ears and eyes on these, but I'm not sure enough I want to waste credits on a pre-order:

Twisted Metal (Doubtful though)
Asura's Wrath (Going to need a demo for this one, not trusting any reviews)
Ninja Gaiden III (I'm a huge pussy in my old age, this one is going to need an easy mode )
Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City (Need to know a lot more about how the single player is)
Silent Hill: Downpour (Not until I play Homecoming and the HD collection, I'm not)
Borderlands 2 (Not until I play and beat the first)
Doom 4 (I don't believe it's coming out this year)
Lollipop Chainsaw (Again, I need hands on here, Japanese games are way to retarded to trust via a review)
Metro: Last Light (Not till I beat 2033)
Serious Sam 3: BFE (Not until I beat SS HD titles)


It would appear my issue with Skyriim was drunken haste, as the fail was part of the quest after all. So, that makes me happy, since Skyriim makes me happy.

[copstache]

if you like not being a fucking retard with shit taste in games, you should buy borderlands
