Guillermo del Toro is a G, hopefully he'll put a straight jacket on Kojima to mitigate his creative impulses.

When I'm not £700 in debt.

Is it a demo of a full game or wut?

It was probably something to do with risk. They've secured the revenue now to cushion them if something goes tits up in the development stage. Sure they won't make as much in the long run, providing the game turns out well, but they've guaranteed themselves jobs and future projects. I imagine a 6 -12 month exclusivity contract would do the job for Microsoft if they can convince consumers that it is a long-term exclusive. Sony & MS are both guilty of the practice, and both would do more of it if they could. It just so happens that the exclusive stuff Sony gets amounts to a mere bucket of shit, hence the butt-hurt over big deals like this.

You get off to some weird ass shit.

Noooooiiiiice.

On board. Jesus, I might actually have a lot of catch-up to do when I upgrade.

Love the tone. Not sold on Rime so much but this I'm rating the look of.

YES. YES. YES.

Anyone got a breakdown of the Exclusives v Timed exclusives?

MGS5 is a fucking piss-take. Kojima can't grow up, standard Japanese attitude towards women.

It contains Tycho who've made some chill albums. I've wanted to play it for a while now.

That's a slight under-reaction.

Ha. As in an Xbox fanboy for mocking PS4 owners who will miss out on the next Tomb Raider? Or as in a PS4 fanboy who is mocking the the fact that Microsoft have shafted consumers? Neither is the case, it was only intended as a lightly amusing, obscure reference to a game I, nor any other PS3 owner, got to play. Nothing more. You don't know me, Liger05! How dare you!

Don't worry guys, Sony's got an exclusive in the form of The Agent from Rockstar. Can't wait for that.

He was superb in Good Will Hunting, and a terrific improviser - to put it mildly. Once he was off you couldn't stop him. A sad, sad day indeed. Hopefully the truth about mental illnesses will strike home to those muppets out there who can't conceive of such a happy and ebullient person wanting to end their own life. RIP.

This post made me cum.

Joystiq go a little more in depth with it. It looks pretty good anti-camping sort of stuff. If you suspect someone's hiding in the corner you can probably surprise them with a strafe-boost or descend on them with a high jump. Battlefield is still the boy though.

It took them a generation longer to cotton onto where the real shit goes down, but I'm happy to have them now that they've matured. I only mean to be condescending a tiny weeny bit.

I watched the Two Best Friends Play walkthrough of Soul Suspect. The game's dialogue was dreadful, really, really shit. Of course those guys like to take the mick out of everything, but by fuck does it hand itself to them on a comedy platter. In no other medium would you get away with the kind of dialogue found in Suspect (broadly speaking). Why do people give give it such a free ride? £20 seems a stupidly high amount to pay for something that isn't even close to being a good example of its genre. Save the money for a game that's worth the money.

Hmmm, sounds intriguing. Might check that out. I've finally hopped on the House of Cards bandwagon. 4 episodes in. YES.

What's amazing is that the game endlessly throws you into new situations. It's about planning ahead, reacting to spacial changes when they occur, and picking the right decision at the right time. You can't beat a team single handedly, but you can pull off rambo-esque bullshit and 'turn the tide of the battle', as game trailers and box-arts love to say. Having said that, it's also fun to idle about and piss people off with cheap tricks. Finding killer sniper positions, or fruitful gangways which when loaded with explosives rack you up crazy amounts of kills and points. Some insane stunt is just around the corner. If you're making long journeys between objectives, for example, and there's not a lot to do, the very fact that you can fire a cross-map RPG at a helicopter, and it not be impossible to connect with it, is something which you don't get in other shooters. And you only need to be successful once to be sold on it for the rest of your life. Plus, you will occasionally flank a base and be presented with about 10 bunched up targets which, if you have some explosives, an LMG, and a good position, you could feasibly have each and every one of their lives. Time seems to stop when that happens, and it seems too good to be true in the moment. It's a right lark I tell ya. I still play the download-only BF 1943 with my mate when he comes over. There's one map that has a deserted boat at the side of the map which is of no real strategic use, and yet we go there every time to snipe anyone who attempts to capture the two central flags. Most of the time the enemy players don't even notice you when you frag them (the kill-cam doesn't reveal much in '43, unlike 3 & 4) but when they do notice they sometimes try to swim over to the boat or land on it after parachuting from a plane (our preferred method). If they swim up to it, we blow up the C4 along the gangway so that they go flying into the sea, and if they parachute onto the boat there's a cheeky little cubby hole we use, equipping the samurai sword whilst concealed ready to pounce and shank the commie shit in the back when they jog by, thinking they've got the drop on us. It's that hilarious sequence of victories - the first being the unfair headshot from a remote and pointless area of the map which doesn't even contribute to the objective, and then the second kill which just rubs salt into the wound, having pissed them off already only to exacerbate the pain when their faces (presumably) glow with excitement upon finding our nest before receiving a career-ender to the spine. It honestly doesn't get better. I would delve into the piss-taking we get away with on the air-superiority mode but I think I've said enoough.

Battlefield is unrivalled as far as multiplayer shooters go, providing you're in a decent squad. If you're not playing as a cohesive unit, the thrills are still there, they're just much more sporadic and there's a ton of A to B sprinting. Other shooters can be more instantly gratifying, but you can't pull off the same unbelievable shit and go on a complete and utter tear on a giant motherfucker of a map. Fuck sake, when I get a PS4 everyone here best be up for a match or two. And yeah Flink, you'll probably tank to start with. You have years of catch-up to do :P I actually recommend going on Youtube to find what class set-ups you want/suit your style etc. Make sure you get the little things right, and then just try and be the best objective player you can be. That's what makes it rewarding.

'I assume he could hear me all right, still not sure though because he didn't respond when I asked if it was OK.' LOLZ. When gaming and using a headset, people talk AT each other. I bet it would be gut-wrenching to play it back. P.S why is 'alright' still not in the dictionary?
