I hope they never release a HL3.

It'll never live up to our expectations. Ever.

 

Same can be said of any game now, cos gamers these days are hard to please. Even when Valve does release it, you'd still be under no obligation to buy it.

What's worse, firmly believing that it won't live up to our expectations or being disappointed by the actual release ?

No, because HL3 has been on everyone's tongue since 2004 and people have now been waiting for 10-11 years for any kind of news. And all the expectations that have been boiling around in all our heads for all those years will never be fulfilled with no matter what Valve ends up releasing. I'm sure it'll be good, but I'd rather see them make something new and original like they did with Portal... And for some reason I'm quite hyped for a new Left 4 Dead...

 

...anyway, there's nothing wrong with a healthy amount of cynicism.

Looks like Pokemon Moon and Sun are our two next games in the franchise:

Never played any pokemon game besides Pokemon gold but I'm always looking forward the names they found for their episodes - I'm like what will they do next time ? Well sun and moon are quite good names imo.

 

BTW which recent pokemon game should I pick ? I have a DS Lite and don't know anything about the last 4 or 5 pokemon games...

Pokemon Black/White was great, X/Y (newest) too. I'd go for X/Y due to the obvious leaps forward to what you last played.

If you just have a DS, then I'd suggest Black/White 2, if you have 3DS, then yeah X/Y are great, and the Ruby/Sapphire remakes are more nostalgic if you ever played those back in the GBA days.

 

I can't believe they haven't done Pokemon Yin + Yang being a Japanese company for 20 years.

i dled x/y and didnt really care for the implementation of 3d environments in the overworld. i dunno. felt like lots of stuff was needlessly obscured or something. prefer the old school fixed overhead cam. not that it really matters. i don't think i have the patience to trudge through a pokemon game anymore. think i played a good bit of black/white when it first came out and that was the last one.

Resident Evil 4,5,6 being remastered for modern consoles. This really seems to be the generation of re-releases, at least in the West. Originality must be overrated as I've read in several articles recently.

 

I do want those Bioshock remasters though, shit I'm part of the problem LOL

If I were Valve I'd release HL2 remastered.

lol and then shut down Valve.

 

"This is what you asked for, no? Oh..."

Since Valve is in on the VR scene, I wouldn't be surprised if HL3 ends up being released as a major VR-centric title to promote the Vive. I can't think of anything that would generate more Vive sales than that...

Resident Evil 4 has now been released on Gamecube, PS2, PC, Wii, iOS, Android, PS3, Xbox 360, and now soon XboxOne and PS4...

 

Christ... Good game, though.

Vive exclusive. You heard it here first.

Grim Dawn, the greatest ARPG of all time - yeah i said it - and true spiritual successor to Diablo 2, is properly out of early access TODAY! Six years in the making and today's the day!

Cinematic mod innit -

I was wondering why no one made a stripper video game...

 

Why were you wondering ?

what's the draw? it looks exactly like diablo 2/3. i mean, better graphics than 2 but not as good as 3

also ggs @northernfusion

 

maybe sweep a little less (it's hella unsafe). try poking w/ d+mkxxfireball. definitely throw me more when i turtle up too. i'm highly susceptible to them still

It is like D2. That's the draw.

 

PS, what's the draw to SF5? Looks just like SF4. :P

 

And the graphics in GD far surpass D3's sugary Disney atmosphere IMO

Edited February 26, 2016 by luke viia

touche

i mean sf5 is like sf4 with a fraction of a fraction of the content!

 

all killer no filler x_x

Hold on a minute..."they" as in Nintendo?

Ha ! That's exactly my thoughts about HL3 as well, ever since I read what the Portal Vive demonstration looked like.

 

HL2 kind of introduced the use of advanced physics in a game, I wouldn't be surprised if HL3 was all MAKE VR GREAT AGAIN.

Here's to hoping it wouldn't NEED having it to play the game

Decided to finally get platinum trophy in Bloodborne, only to have my efforts thwarted by defiled Amygdala. A really bad choice of final boss for the dungeon, really. Getting 1-2 hit even with 30+ VIT isn't fun. Some boss that chained smaller hits would be more interesting, you'd at least be challenged to time your dodges out of it correctly instead of hoping you'll be lucky in the flailing of limbs.

Visually, it's a lot better - they toned down that "brushy" ink style SF4 introduced, and the characters are more defined. BUT I AM BEGINNING TO HATE THE DITHERING EFFECT on the characters' shading.
