I got Dishonored on pre-order from GameStop, comes with the "Arcane Assasin" DLC and a custom Tarot Deck, if the deck follows the steampunk style it may be fun to mess with, not sure if i buy into Tarot but the artwork will probably be pretty cool

ocarina of time for the 3rd time,, it never gets old

I hope Sleeping Dogs is totally awesome and not shit, because I could see myself getting balls deep in it.

Dishonored (holy shit this game looks like it will fill my craving until thief 4)

 

I'm really looking forward to this

honestly this game looks like itll be fun for about an hour then will just be repetitive and boring. i have no high expectations for this one. cool idea but just seems not well done. but i may be wrong, and honestly i hope that i am. but i don't plan on getting it. just my two cents

Prototype 2 is starting to get repetitive .

 

Looking forward to sleeping dogs though.

I've had Vanquish sat on the shelf for ages, bought in a sale or something. Gave it a try last night, probably should have left it on the shelf. It felt like a disappointing cross between gears of war, Halo, and some in-your-face third person shooters that I can't think of right now. The main character was forgettable within 3 seconds, and unless you were fully adept in using the move-set on the power suit (which was poorly explained in the tutorials), it just becomes a tedious war of attrition... not only with the drab identikit enemies, but the controller too. It's off to the ebay pile for Vanquish.

completed another playthrough of ME3. I have no idea what I'll be playing now. everything is just.. meh.

The re-release of Final Fantasy VII for PC is now available on the Square Enix store, sale price too.

Lots of Sony announcements coming out of Gamescon today.

Yeah, Rain and Tear Away look very interesting!

 

Awesome song and an amazing looking game.

yeah that looks pretty good. i especially like the interaction with the girl. like how youll distract someone and shell sneak up and hit the guy with a rock and stuff like that.

wow...was that actual gameplay? this looks amazing@

Ah, so sony japan still do make games do they? Well until they finish The Last Guardian they can get lost.

 

Actually Rain does sound pretty good, and I know it is a different team, not their fault

Well a lot of it appears to be cutscenes using the engine and 'Press X to not die' QTE. It looks good sure but possibly not as revolutionary gameplay wise as the trailer makes out it to be.

its deffinatly not anything revolutionary. but its not a 'Press X to not die' game. that trailer is actually pretty awful at showing the game. the presentation they did at E3 was way better.

 

i'm fucking dying for the PC release of dark souls, flawed as it is.

Anyone on cs go beta? The hit boxes are ridiculous, i've emptied full clips into enemies not more than 20 feet away, and still not kill them. I like the map revamps, but I'm not so sure about the source physics. Still really fun to play. Add me on steam: tontonz@mizzou

Aye my apologies - If I return from a heavy night out instead of tutypyingg lllioke trghis I end up having rather strong dismissive opinions about things (well, more so than usual ). Yeah I'm sure it'll be better than the trailer makes out - the BitSocket boys gave it a glowing response when they went to E3 for a full preview, and I generally trust their opinion.

if that is going to be the case then yeah, i agree with you...but it didn't exactly look like it was all fashioned around QT events.

gonna take a break from FNV and maybe play a little bit more of Skyrim where I left off...or maybe some Ass Creed Bros. for fond memories.

 

I was considering getting Dawnguard for a while, but I was sorta POed that there wasn't any sort of level expansion/perk expansion. Im a completist at heart...I like working forever to get an invincible beast-character, so the original only allowing you to cover half of the skill tree drives me nuts.

Latest word on TLG is they had to bring in Western developers to "redo" parts of the game - the biggest thing I'm sensing from Japan-made game (granted, this does not apply to all of them) is there absolutely no QA (Quality Assurance) throughout the project - they develop a system or engine for a game that is highly flawed, and proceed to release the game regardless. It also seems the Japanese developers don't have the programming skills equivalent to what most Western developers seem to have. Quite a change from the 80-90's when Japan was making superior games (for the most part) and the West was struggling to emulate the goodness coming out of Japan. Now it seems the opposite is true.

Return of the Neo Geo!
