It's beautiful in a similar way to how Battlefield 3/4 are beautiful. Sure they're generic realism and they bring nothing new to the table, but they look great. This is the same, only for this style of fantasy.

You're kind of right but I still think most of those are too worried about story, too concerned with being taken seriously and delivering a believable narrative, that they never let themselves go wild with the kind of gameplay they let across.

I wouldn't call Mario Kart "not a proper game" but as far as a balanced and competitive sort of game... yeah, it's not that.

Super sarcasm.

I'm kind of the other way around. I can't get into newer games because it feels like they're more and more trying to be like movies, trying too hard to be taken seriously, and forgetting how to be fun. I miss the days when games could just be a fun, engaging romp through whatever the developers came up with and it…

I'm glad they managed to hit the goal! I was almost afraid for a bit there after things quieted down from the initial wave of support.

Finally, a Youtube update I can get behind. More meat and more than just the two most upvoted comments showing up on top while the terrible stuff can sink into oblivion is great. I've dreaded the 500 character limit for as long as I've had an account on Youtube, but now I can rant on all I want. I suppose the 500…

I'm still rocking a 465 here. It's showing its age on occasion, but I'm usually able to play high/max settings on any game I try.

Well then shut up about them and get on with your life.

I miss the days when I had to draw my own map just to play Metroid, too.

Interesting, because whenever I see everyone hyped up for a new AAA game I get the same sort of feeling, only instead of focusing on how it looks I focus on how it plays.

I can't be more excited for this game. It looks amazing, and I really trust the talent behind it to make a great game.

I think that describes a few zombie games lately. Other than that certain plot point I don't want to spoil, the story in The Last of Us is the same way. Helpless, hopeless, just trying to get by... even though you do end up taking down hundreds of armed thugs and zombies throughout the course of the game, and you're…

Good thing there's still... well, practically every other game ever made to fill that need.

Wow, some of those moves look like they're packed in like sardines on the field! They have so many more members than my marching band (U of Idaho) and they're still pulling off some sweet moves.

I don't just blindly agree with everything Nintendo does. I have a lot of problems with how they've handled both their latest device launches (3DS and Wii U both launched prematurely and had little support until almost a year later) and how they've recycled assets for the NSMB series to pump out 3 games in the space…

I've played all the handheld ones except for the newest 3DS one, which I heard was pretty disappointing and nothing like the IGA ones. SotN is the only Metroidvania style Castlevania that I haven't played but I'm interested in.

Yup, that's the game. I'm pretty sure he has the Chronicles one, so I could just borrow that. :>

Sure, but Borderlands isn't made to be played offline. There are some subtle differences to how multiplayer games are designed that may benefit either hanging around together in person or just playing together. There's no big difference in Borderlands because, while it's a multiplayer game, it's still something you…

I think they're smart not to include it. I just can't imagine it being anything but a rage-fest online.
