Ugh, I hated that boss.

I don't want to know about the plot. They said in the 1999 mode your choices for upgrading the character are limited to certain areas like hacking and so on.

lol well yeah I guess.

Yeah I know and the gameplay trailers they've been releasing have been amazing. I just thought the countdown timer would lead to something, you know, more. Especially when I've been waiting for this trailer for a while now.

I was expecting a little more subtlety with the trailer and getting information about the game and not so much a "BRO HERE'S AN FPS FOR YOU!" type of thing.

Harvey Smith already had the Shalebridge Cradle in Thief: Deadly Shadows so I'm kinda glad they left it out. Sure it probably would've been great but not too original anymore.

Beautiful art just like in Noitu Love 2 but... NL2 just wasn't that good. It made me go clickety click more times than Diablo and the combat never gave enough room for the depth mechanics had. Then again I may have judged it too early.

If Doom 3 came in 2004 and F.E.A.R. came in 2005 how does that make seven years?

No Wind Waker easter egg yet? :(

Yeah I thought so as well. Valkyria Chronicles' art-style always reminded me of the brilliant aquarelle paintings in the Nausicaä books.

Though it's probably the best IP for a game in the Ghibli library, it's also the least likely of them all to be made into a game.

The trick in getting past the guards there was that everyone who was sitting in that place was asleep. Once I figured that out it wasn't that hard. There were like ten different routes you could use to go through it. IIRC I ghosted through it.

Okay some of those are horrible but a couple of them are, though probably accidentally, awesome. That stoned panda-cake is just hilarious and that brown bear is way better than the generic and boring original.

I think at RPS they said that if you leave a guard unconscious and a group of rats happens to eat him it counts as a kill in the chaos system.

Well Bioshock does have stealth elements.

Sorry but Witcher 2 and Metro 2033 are pretty much the most demanding games after Crysis. Metro 2033 is notorious for running quite badly even on high end pc's. I mean they use it as a benchmark in testing new hardware and it's rare to see any card being able to run it past 40 fps.
