Bought it yesterday and took about 6 hours to finish the campaign on Normal. Mind you I skipped approximately all of the fighting in Mission 10. I didn't stop to fight until the Hunters because the door was closed. FYI, you can get the mongoose past the barricade pretty easily. It was great fun, but I can't really pick out any particular moments that I'd love to go back and play again, even Halo 2 had that. I'll probably start a Legendary run later today, and in 6 hours likely not be done with the 3rd mission. I don't have Gold right now and don't plan on getting it particularly soon, but even so I've messed around with Firefight and the custom settings. Amazing what you can change. Legendary+Invulnerability+Trigger Happy covenant really shows what the engine can do in terms of pure insanity going on.

Well Metro 2033, Just Cause 2, Mafia II. On their highest settings they are noticeably much better looking than Console counterparts, a generational leap in graphics no Crysis is the only one for that still. Then again Graphics aren't the only part of making a game more advanced. Mafia II extensively uses PhysX to improve cloth and particles, and it's quite demanding to simulate a persons clothing as if it was real cloth.

What I heard is it'll be an action game without guns or swords. What I gather is through the power of baseball you murder people::shrug: I'd be more interested if it wasn't for Kinect. Still though, you really have to hand it to Suda51 for jumping on alternative control methods.

I've played both, but I'd surely like the opportunity to buy and play them again. Thought I do still have the PS2 versions.

Yay for more Steel Battalion, Boo for lack of awesome controller.

Time to get a PS3 I suppose...

Wireless encryption/security protocols. No, it won't work with WPA though. Multiplayer is only local though and so far the DLC isn't that great, but the online store that changes daily is fantastic. If you're really interested in getting the online though, look into USB wifi adapters.

And yet PC games look better and turn a profit.

West coast US at that.

I think that's partly the way they decided to push the gameplay. Tons of things going on at a lower res/poly count vs few things going on higher res/poly. Like MT Framework, Dead Rising looked crappy compared to Lost Planet.

The Ninth Circuit Court has the most over turned rulings in the country iirc, so don't get too worried just yet. Just as long as other courts don't decide to follow lead with the EULA agreement holding up in court.

I feel the need to quote myself.

Non-smokers a question if you will. Do you drink alcohol? If yes then fuck off you're also choosing to poison your own bodies. If no, stop being so uptight and live a little. :p Yes yes Alcohol isn't the same as smoking (doesn't affect another beings body), but it can still ruin the drinkers body and be addictive.

I can be one of the wave of haterz? In the End is about all I can tolerate from them. As for The Catalyst....well it's shit. I feel he's singing far to slowly for the reverb effect and it bugs me.

I'm not talking about the designs btw. Once I get a Gyarados I quit using my starter.

Invader Zim is quite excellent, but the greatest thing from Nickelodeon...no. That would be Avatar imo. Spongebob is pretty terrible though, but I feel it helped to pave the way for better shows like Chowder or Adventure Time.

A good tactic is to just abandon your starter after getting the 3rd evolution. Because, who are we trying to fool, the starters suck.

That's odd...the first picture wasn't DQV the other day, but now it is.

It's not a glitch it's just a really hard to find door. If I'm thinking of the right area you're now locked into a small part of the city right? Somewhere vaguely near the way point should be a door which will take you to the next mission. The first mission you play as the rookie instead of someone else.

This is better. Even Edgar Wright thinks so.

Famitsu has always been known to give high profile games favorable scores.

Yea I knew your intent. Trolling is usually subtle though, and going for overkill is just lazy. :p Graphics really aren't all about polygons though(textures matter too :p), what helps Halo look amazing is the use of colors+the amount of everything on screen. Colorful is generally pleasing to look at, and their engine handles quite a bit of general chaos, and (with recent games) records all of it for later viewing from any angle you please. That's amazing. Lighting is no contest though, Deferred Rendering may have it's drawbacks but it can also handle near infinite dynamic light sources. Fantastically amazing. A great read on Deferred Shading as used in STALKER. Just if anyone was interested in it.

Just watch dogs overnight at a business. Simple and boring.

Man, now you're just getting lazy.
