I actually like how little I've used a gun so far. It makes the uses of it feel remarkable and more violent. andf lets be honest, real gangsters don't actually shoot that many people because they just get caught. I'm getting in to the role a bit hell, i even drive safely. Keep my head down, you know? fresh off the boat...

um, they're a bit shit? you know what, that's actually pretty fucking good casting right there. The more I think about it, I think he has a good line in resentful emotion and a capacity for violence kinda thing. Tetsuo is a complete fuck up though, he needs to be able to really get that instability and fear down

on 360 it's on the LB button, assuming the controls are roughly the same that means L1 should work. If yuo get it right, Niko yells out, you walk up to the cab and get in to the passenger seat instead of jacking it. First time I did it, I was pissed off my tits and could barely see out of the window. Brilliant.

looks..ah...the same! I'd like DLC for this with Vergil playable with the same style he fought with in 3.

I think i'll be over with the EDGE forum myself. might pop by though. Dr Oatker is me, if there's a big game brewing.

me too if you're feeling dastardly, that's a free high speed car and shotgun ammo right there.

this looks bees knees esque. yuuuussss!

GTA/10 kind of day.

highlights so far gents? I'm finding the new police chases to be freakin awesome myself. the line of sight thing makes it much more about navigation and wits now, plus the new cars are superb. I've only trashed one so far. Much tougher, much more fun to drive too.

This game is fucking AWESOME!

the enormity of my work load is currently making me soil myself. wheeee.

It's genius pure genius

fuck the bugs in this app. fuck them in the balls. if I give unit A orders to move to an area occupied by my own unit B, and vice versa, you expect them to switch places right? no the friend and foe code is so wank that they just attack each other. This is complete cock as it's currently crippling my ability to move my *entire* army pretty much.

doa2 has by far my favourite: two people pre fight 'project epsilon? i thought that was a failure...' 'what do you know!?' FIGHT!

This thread needs more serious debate in it. as long as it's kept seperate i have little issue with it. However, the idea of religious based politics is scary, simply because you may as well base your policy on fairy tales.

if you're interested, I know a guy who can fix you up with a soul.

He's actually an alright producer, but he's a poor 'rapper' who insists on making his own name as a performer. If he stuck to his real job I'd be fine with it all.

Magnolia uh..wow. What a fucking excellent film this is. It has scope, power, style, humour, great performances. In two films, Paul T Anderson has leaped right to the top level in my favourite directors list. Great film.

so the way that every single area of the game was specifically designed as a piece of story telling didn't grab your attention? dude you are so, so wrong. It's not the simplest means of telling the story but you clearly just missed it.

umm, yeah i think so. been a while since i read it but the name rings a bell.

haha sonic adventure games are *shocking*. Their case isn't helped by the *worst* voice acting I can remember and some truly, truly horrible music. What is it with Sega and shit hip hop with lyrics about the game on loop? drives me nuts. Personally, I hate Gears of war the most. "quick marcus fenix, man of wank names. Go with your oild up fuck buddy dom and use this sub woofer to map out a series of tunnels that span the entire crust of the planet" "oh ok sounds like a cool idea. Ok guys, lets take this really elaborate route to the mineshaft we need to go to. Fuck choppers, those are for pussies. Lets roll!" "oh shit, it didn't work. Guess we're fucked. Yeah, totally man." "no it's fine. Despite us risking our lives through hours and hours of utterly horrendous combat, including a nearly suicidal attack on the very heart of enemy territory, I'll take this oppotunity to reveal a map of the tunnels I've been carrying in my back pocket the entire fucking time i've been in the game. Oh yeah, and I got it from your dad's house. "oh ok. well I'll not question that- lets get to my dad's house again to get an even better map." "awesome" "ok guys, now we have the same map again, lets blow some shit up! hoo rah! "good work at getting us vital targeting data soldier, now get to the train station: we've strapped our massive doomsday bomb to a speeding train full of enemy troops and we're going to drive it off a cliff in to a giant pit. Now go and make sure that plan works by yourself because we don't have anyone guarding it either. The End

some of them are very good though. Personally i believe the worm hole one, which is based on old science theories refrenced in the show with names and places. It's very clever stuff and I'd be surprised if we didn't see it proven by this series finale.

well that's my france game over with really, one last unit for you vultures to pick at :p

twin thread time! post your 'favourites' here, preferably with a shining exmample of the highlights from the worst offenders.

I heard advent rising was just a technical mess. shame, really- the idea of a properly thought out, well written game was a good one. generally, game stories suck so hard and i think alot of the blame can be placed on the medium's inferiority complex with cinema. Most devs are all 'zomg, our game is like a film only you control bits of it!' Which is a complete sack of balls and we all know it. All they ever produce is tacked on useless exposition cut scenes to give nothing more than shoddy context to 'Macho Space Marine XXV' and his teenage power trip fantasy antics. Gears of War being a prime example: I've completed that game close to three times now and there are bits that just make no sense. none whatsoever. It's one of the worst told stories of all time with no decernable plot, character development or depth to it. Bullshit! Games are not movies and shouldn't be treated as such (MGS can suck my nadsack, too fyi) they should tell stories by using spatial exploration, example not exposition and dialogue worked in to the game, not latched on like some parasite. In short, they should tell stories like Half life 2.
