I can understand where you're coming from Daz, I think others just need to accept that stance. Even if it is complete bull and you're probably going to pass on it for those reasons. Not even sure it'll turn out that good. The screenshots promised more than the videos, in fact it would almost have been better to just leave that screen of the hero overlooking the 3d castle realm and label it fan-art, so that everyone could've dreamed of this being real. It's definitely unoriginal, but maybe the unique stuff will set it apart enough. I personally wouldn't mind playing an updated, prettier version of a 2D Zelda and seeing as I don't own a Wii, and seeing as Nintendo aren't making anything like this, then I welcome this game.

Yeah whatever needs doing I'll do (as long as I want to do it, so that's slightly limiting) but yeah, Borderlands co-op review sounds good. Unless I've read it wrong though, I think the 4 player thang is just an option - you play the campaign on your own but can let people drop in and out if you wish (and occasionally duel if bored). Still, official headset would be good, hopefully I can convince a couple of mates to get it. Still feel slightly uncomfortable when conversing to forumites especially when games seem the ony topic of convo. That's partly due to the shitty nature of my Jabra though so everything seems awkward when I have to resort to remaining silent after I say 'Sorry, can't hear you' for the 5th time.

Ah right how did you guys come to know each other then? And yeah, I'll just be the dunce in the corner chiming in whenever I feel like I have something worthy of saying to my superiors. May do something on Borderlands' potential, the more I see the more excitable I get. So excitable I am. To think I was considering getting a job to pay for a PSP Go recently... You seen any of the Lethargic Gamers episodes Daft? Not sure I've mentioned them to you but they are quite impressive, check Flamey's sig.

You sound as if it's a big organisation that only let's in the best of the best, although the standard is great to be fair to yourselves. Obviously for articles I'd ramp up structure and lingual skills and use metaphors to make it hilarious to read, as all satirical writers understandably 'resort' to when composing their new piece. I'll post you one some time, don't expect anything majorly soon, but I wouldn't mind having work displayed/appreciated in some form, for starters I find it easier to write about videogames but also there's barely ever an opportunity to do so unless it's a short forum post. And it helps me excercise my narrow experience of journalism, if you can call 'waste that.
-
When's the next lethargic gamers? Looking forward to it. And Daft, any chance I could write a piece or two for remedial-waste? Nothing regular, just a contribution every now and then? PS. Borderlands is going to be fucking awesome.
-
No wonder you love your Wii so much. Ohhhhhhhh!!!
-
Yeah I'd be up for some co-op nonsense. Really like to get it this year, would be better playing it through at the same time as everyone else so that our abilities are even somewhat.
-
Yeah some of those are weird, some are entirely normal.
-
Just saw it, was pretty shit. I jest, the film was funny, especially the badass cowboy dude. Definitely an 8/10, slightly too short but there were a bunch of laughs to be had. When asked about this theme park the badass guy says 'That place blows ... my mind!' Good stuff.
-
Bar the DLC part, that's kind of what I was thinking. But being to similar to Fallout 3 should be seen as a great thing, especially because Borderlands is doing a lot to set itself apart. The art-style is just about different enough, kind of like a more realistic Timseplitters but with even greater variety. The more I learn about it, the more I think it's going to be better than most other games in the late-year rush.
-
It looks awesome, I just don't know enough about the single player campaign and haven't watched enough videos to make it exciting. If the campaign is big enough and draws inspiration from the Fallout 3 realm I'll definitely get it. 4 player co-op could be sublime, especially if each person has vastly different weapons. Just thought, do you reckon it would be a good idea if before the co-op mission there was a brief introduction for each team-mate showing what weapons they had and what they as a character bring to the table? Maybe have a brief recording via headset when your character is shown or something.
-
I enjoyed the demo but it wasn't that good. He must've been joking.
-
I will eventually. Eventually being the key word with most good games coming out late this year and early next year, because bar the very top titles I really don't know what games warrant a purchase above the next.
-
I'm thinking if they could make the competitive mode a bit more robust and less uhh, nichey? I played the competitive stuff so much but understand why it didn't take off with everybody. I believe it was partly down to the rough presentation of the game, if they made the interface a bit more friendly, along with maybe making it easier to jump in as a newbie then I think it could take off with everyone here. Maybe it's the arcadey style that deterred NE. Although I wouldn't want them to take that away, it does seem like a bit of a brick wall. Polish the graphics up, make the objective-type modes more meaningful, in the style of battlefield perhaps, then we could be onto a winner.
-
I think you all know that I would've been damned excited when I saw that. Not sure if it's a genuine announcement, but if it is then WOOP!
-
Imitation is the sincerest....
-
They said it'd take between 1-3 weeks after they collect it on Tuesday. I seem to remember someone saying it took 6 days for them, but whatever it is, I can't help but feel that it's gonna be a while before I get to sit down and plough through Uncharted 2.
-
Hmmm but I don't want a refurb. System-locked data and whatnot. To be frank I don't mind too much, it's been broken for so long I'd just like to be able to play some games on it. Has been quite a hassle.
-
Just one of them, surely there's a way of choosing which systems you want activated? Would they ask to do that just so they could put PSN games back on or something?
-
Today I wound up calling Sony and asking for the £100 repair. Guarenteed fix and 3 month warranty persuaded me to do it this way rather than the spare parts buying. They said to back up save data just incase it is wiped and also to deactivate account. 2 questions: a) If I've backed up the data to my 250gb HDD and my PS3 has returned with the memory wiped, will I just have to plug in the external 250gb and then transfer it on? b) what does deactivating the account do?/how do you do it?
-
Oh c'mon Dirt 2 has great graphics and is a brilliant game. Clearly anything non-GT just doesn't cut it.
-
We all have our preferences. Most games I won't sell because I know that I regret it most of the time. Just having it there in the collection, fitting snug in the corner is just reassuring. If it's a game like Infamous where I think I can get what I want out of it in a short period of time, I'll try to sell on for profit. The private trades board here is quite useful for that. If it's a game like Fallout 3 then temptation gets the better of me and I pay full price, partly because it's just so awesome but also because you get that new game smell (which I swear was more prominent with the Fallout 3 manual - although that could've been the waft of expectation and having an inkling that it would be quite an epic experience.) Renting is a good idea, but I can't guarentee monthly income as of now. Plus games like Fracture and Tomb Raider are games I can really go without, I really couldn't care less aout them. You may have the odd hidden gem that strikes a chord with you, in Daft's case it's XMO: Wolverine, though if I don't know what I'm missing out on then it doesn't matter too much.
-
Well yeah a friend liked it which I couldn't understand, but each to his own. As for faults, well don't we judge games on faults sometimes. If the core of the game is bad then it's a bad game.
-
Yeah the game was just a bit off in some areas. Not once did I ever give a crap about the people or story. Why do you choose to rent the bad games?
-
Hmmm I think graphically and in jokey terms the two are fairly similar, they're both about fighting weird creatures. Same perspective in both. You're right about Infamous missing something but I'd take it over Lord every day. The demo became dull so quickly, just poking your thumb around with the occasional press of the attack button. MEH.
