ur wut? no.

GO! Seriously considers options*
-
na there's been a few hands on now. They sound pretty decent- like a timing based version of Assassin's Creed. I'd rather concentrate on the 'where' than the 'how' of platforming anyway- so long as there's room for skill and replayability in some form.
-
you're probably right, but I'm a 360 guy. I'm not missing out even if the pc version is better.
-
incidentally, That's what she said.
-
OK game planned for thursday night! around 8-9. Make a note here if you fancy it. also: anyone got a handy host connection? mine blows.
-
I found out I was due at uni about 4 days short of having to get there. Aaahh, fucking mental few days that.
-
haha. that's the sort of concise, spoiler free criticism journalism lacks these days.
-
I would, but I'm off out with some hombres Thursday is my next games night. You guys up for it then?
-
I try and play a late game, yeah. If i'm being social, that is.
-
This should be better, though. Lower player count and dedicated servers to boost connection strength. Only issue could be DLC but hopefully the 360 release of the TF2 stuff means Valve could be pushing 360 harder.
-
Yeah I'm also pretty shit. I'll revive my thread later in the week and see who can cook up a host.
-
get in on Gears. We need to kick off a regular game on here I'm sure we have at least 8 people...
-
alolt of kitchen stuff you should probably avoid buying too much of. someone will be able to provide any you miss, and any proper gaps you can fill as a group.

so... Recharging health (now adopted by...oh, everyone!) seamless vehicle/ on foot combat limited, tactical weapon selection massive leap forward in AI perfection of the console fps control method revolutionary level design Co-OP campaign yeah, those were totally lame features, right? Nobody pays any attention to that stuff...
-
I'm not sure what those shortcomings are supposed to be, exactly. Most people seem disappointed that it's not free roaming, and hold that against the game. Thing is, DICE never said it would be and, in my mind, were pretty clear we were getting a linear game. People just get too in to the hype, I think. They never fabricated that Prince of Persia was going to be free roaming, and this looks fairly similar.
-
but it is a shooter, and those are the industry standards. My point is that it looks sub par as an fps, and people are making excuses for it based on hardware, not software merit. The design looks old and boring, so why get excited?
-
Well if you like I could compare it to Call of Duty, Half life or Gears of War? It's still going to look old and boring to those, too.
-
but the hype is clearly all based on that lack of competition. If a game of this standard came out on 360 (graphics aside, the ai and gameplay is more important) People would laugh . You can't say 'oohh CONTROLS! either because, well it's bullshit. It has nothing to do with game design. oh and for the record, Halo bought a ridiculous amount of new ideas in. Have you never played it? It changed everything about the genre.
-
Get Mr.Beast. It's way better, and may just blow your face off. The Hawk Is Howling is, so far, on a par with that one.
-
New Mogwai is out, guys. I know a few of you follow them, ear wise.
-
Have we, or are we about to, enter a new Cold War?
Dan_Dare replied to Charlie's topic in General Chit Chat
Far from being 'nothing'- fingers were poised over The Button. Without a shadow of a doubt, civilisation was nearly swept clean off the planet! I read somewhere that the only reason they backed down was because Kennedy deliberately ignored a wire from Moscow saying 'we won't back down' and called off the American alert. -
coffee? yeah!
-
Urrgh. Sometimes I detest being the same sex as such utter, utter cunts as guys like that. I mean, they just lower the tone for everybody.
-
well I'll take your word for it, I suppose. In fact, throw me an invite some time.
