I hope for your sake you can carry over your save files to the full release.

Well, there's not much they can do about it now. Shutting people up and pretending it doesn't exist would just do more harm than good at this point. It's like when The Sims 3 got leaked. I remember someone high up at Electronic Arts referred to it as an "extensive demo" (because you wouldn't be able to download user-created content with it), even though he was probably very annoyed about the leak. A lot of people who download an incomplete version of a game a couple of months before release like this are probably fans who are excited about the release of the game, so instead of treating them like criminals, it's better to say, "if you like this, wait until you try the full version!". I'm getting more and more excited about the release of Deus Ex 3, after recently replaying the first two games. Here's hoping they don't mess it up!

But then Pac-Man isn't a game, and neither is World of Warcraft. And something like Call of Duty would be one quarter game, three quarters toy. And what would need to be the condition for not including Super Mario Galaxy as a game? A good story? By that definition, gaming in the 80s and 90s was a wasteland. So yeah, the lines may be blurred from time to time, but come on. Super Mario Galaxy is objectively a game. You can't really hide between "oh, well, it's just my opinion", because it makes no sense. If I said "it's my opinion that the sky is green", you'd think I was an idiot. If Daft (or anyone else) wants to argue that Super Mario Galaxy doesn't appeal to them because they prefer games to have better stories (or whatever), then that's fair enough. Not every game can appeal to every person. But it is a game. Anyway, I almost forgot that this thread was supposed to be about Darksiders 2. I never got around to playing the first one. It seemed kind of okay, but when I watched my cousin play it for a couple of hours, it didn't really look that great. But that was really late in the game, so I don't know.

Fair enough if you prefer games to have good stories, but I don't see how a lack of a story makes Super Mario Galaxy any less of a game.

I hope this is just more of what made Blood Money so great, with some minor improvements here and there. Regarding Silent Assassin - was it just me, or was sneaking around way too hard in that game? Guards would start shooting at me within seconds no matter which disguise I was wearing. That completely ruined the game for me (and my brother hated it too), but everyone seems to love it, so I don't know if it was a bug or if I just sucked or what.

At least you knew his raw sexual energies were irresistible to the ladies when you started dating him.

Don't worry, Flameboy - Judge Marilyn Milian is on your side:

They could just have played softball with the gay animals.

Happy birthday, Rummy. I accidentally typed "Dummy". Freudian slip?

It probably has something to do with his stupid* fan game that he posted about. *I say "stupid" because he spammed the forum just so he could post about it.

Oh. This explains why you made fifteen posts in five minutes.

Of course IGN is going to say that, though. They want people to check their site constantly.

I'm increasingly happy I never invested in a DSi. Nintendo can't do anything right, it seems.

We'll never know, will we? I think if I were Wrex, I'd shoot Shepard in the crotch and castrate him. Maybe then he'd understand my plight!

... I'm sure your invitation just got lost in the mail. Clearly it's a simple oversight. *Cough*

If she were really jealous, she would have let Wrex kill you. At least Ashley tried to do the right thing (though someone should have taught her how to shoot to incapacitate). Everyone else was just going to let Wrex shoot you in the face. I do agree that Wrex is more awesome than Ashley, though.

Selling the games separately is just for Japan, isn't it? I know I've seen box art with both games in the same case. Unless they've changed their minds. I never got around to playing ICO, so I'm looking forward to this. I did play Shadow of the Colossus and found it rather dull, but I'd be willing to give it another chance.

It's not Ashley's fault that you didn't have enough paragon points! Whoever died in the first game returning would be an awful, awful plot twist and would completely ruin that part of the first game. I really hope that doesn't happen.

I'm planning on watching it once the first season is over. So I have nothing to add to this thread right now.

Unless you have an old PC monitor, you really don't need to worry about burn-in anymore. Just turn your screensaver off.

Not much of a collection if it only includes two games. Especially since the previous Silent Hill Collection included three games, and that was released years ago. Though I suppose The Room isn't worthy of the HD treatment. That game was pretty disappointing.

If it's Sony's baby, Konami has some explaining to do about The Twin Snakes. Peach Walker sounds delicious, though.

I knew putting off playing anything past The Twin Snakes would pay off eventually.

It's a bit disappointing how your logo promises thirty gamers, when there are only two of you.
