Haha, so true. Great game (Titanfall) and then you’ve unlocked everything and on (or back) to better games.

All those stars deserved. Peter Molyneux 2016 Never Forget.

Oh, NICE. Mad World, the black sheep of the Nintendo world. That thing was such an anomaly.

Totally right though. The older I get, the more resistant to hype I get (though dammit, I still get triggered by the likes of No Man’s Sky) and the longer I can hold out for bargain bin stuff.

I’m so into game deals that when my…

$10 is the new $5 bargain bin game. Basically the nickel bag has become the dime bag. But I think “Nickel Bag” should be the new term for a bargain game. Hmmm, don’t want it to be mistaken for Nickelback. Dime Bag it is then.

Man, I am a cheapskate gamer, but I gotta give you props on the $5 find at a grocery store. Getting a deal so good it’s ridiculous can make an otherwise crap game really fun.

Upmoted. It’s not snark. It’s intervention.

So... should I seek out DS 3 Day One? Is a soundtrack and cover art worth an extra $8 or whatever?

I heard how amazeballs Bloodborne was so I’m procuring a copy even as we speak. My guess: between that and DS3, I’ll be plenty set on the ol’ RPG (or whatever these are called) front.

Me and Vince would be happy with some tired old orc stuff, but Dark Souls here springs this serious gourmet D&D shit on us! This is straightup Monster Manual type creatures right here. The more I see of this game, the more I need to play it.

Worth the click for damn sure. His ideas about racing becoming more like a set of physical actions rather than interfacing with an outmoded system (this is literally the first time I’d heard of gran prix needing to be throttled a certain way to avoid fouling the exhaust) and then performing physical actions was the…

Wow. X-Station Android. Sounds like a terrible Rock Hudson cold war movie. It Fuzes something alright. Intellectual property, established and legally protected interfaces, trade dress, likenesses, trademarked design...

It’s the equivalent of Chinese/Korean MMOGs... If we put this (microtransaction/subscription…

Hahha, oh no way, I just couldn’t see it as much as I’d like it to be true. The map looks forged IMO, but if they pulled off a coup like that (and could you, in this day and age?... well... I guess there have been a couple hints at this being a real thing) I’d be so impressed I’d be Day One assuming the press was…

Oh I’m sure. And I’m sure they wanted the demographic coming over too. I felt that a little bit in BF 4 too. Like the gargantuan maps of Battlefield 3 were apparently too big. I loved that part though.

I’m always jealous of these ‘cause I bought semi-early in the price-slashing era.

But what a deal.

You are witnessing why Microsoft playing second fiddle is benefiting the consumer. They’ll cut retail prices and drive sales like mad knowing you’ll drop money on XBL, digital games, and a dozen licensed high-priced games…

Real men franchises, haha, nice. Yeah, I was browsing Battlefield 3 games once and one server said “no shotgun/ Stinger pussies.” And of course I thought two things:

1) Please to explain who’s the pussy: you with your arbitrary restrictions or me with a simulated anti-personnel/ anti-aircraft weapon in a war simulator?

2…

“Someday... this war’s gonna end.” ~~a sad, sad Captain Kilgore, Apocalypse Now.

Call of Duty: Infinite Sequels, but apparently not infinite revenue, amirite? I’d probably play a remastered MW2 (IMO best in series) but by and large, the king is dead, long live whatever’s next.

P.S.: If they’d harnessed about 50% of The…

It’s true. As an American (I think the majority of people who oppose the trend are Americans) this is always the fault I’ve found with it. There’s sci-fi novels dating back 60 years that envisioned cars that were completely helpless to being pulled over automatically by police with the widely-available override…

Oh, schnapp. The jeans comment was funny, but the Bob Woodward key party bit was inspired (how did Bob Woodward become the world’s most powerful suck-up? The answer’s in the question.) Will is a bit of a tool among the bow tie set, but at least he’s not the insufferable silver spoon-toting WASP anachronism Tucker…

Even twice monthly is pushing it lately. If they hadn’t micro-monetized the game they could have opened up the casino... but it’s doomed forever (at least in the online sense) to avoid any litigation. Which sucks. Playing cards, roulette etc. was fun in San Andreas.

You’re right about the PvP modes... snore. One of the…

How many experienced the same? I’m curious too: did you, like me, mark these “Year One” nerfs as the beginning of the end (of your playing)?

I had a blessedly short period (hard to recall but maybe 100 days) where it was _EXTREMELY_ fun to have a collection of the best stuff. Gjallarhorn, Icebreaker, Black Hammer,…
