Well this game’s story is based on an unfinshed Akira Kurosawa script, and Team Ninja hired his son Hisao Kurosawa to help finish it. So hopefully the writing will match the combat.

I beat Demon Souls, and I enjoyed it immensely, but Ninja Gaiden is still the gold standard for an action game that required ridiculously punishing perfection.

I understand why the comparison was made, but everybody is like “it’s Souls in Japan”, except it is really Ninja Gaiden with a hint of Onimusha (hell, the story is supposedly based on an unused Akira Kurosawa script). I’m just trying to point out that it is not a “Dark Souls clone” but a game from a company that has…

Everybody is like Dark Soul this, Dark Souls that, but everybody seems to forget Team Ninja’s 1st Ninja Gaiden on Xbox. It set the standard for extremely punishing boss battles and tight game play.

Came to post this, glad someone else pointed this out. Also the US military is in the process of switching to an eco-friendly lead free bullet that contains a tungsten core.

This was my first thought as well.

I am well aware of the values of 996 GT2s and real RUFs, was just talking about looks. If I was going to buy a 996 turbo, I would immediately buy either a GT2 or RUF front bumper and convert it(which is a very common visual mod).

I prefer the the standard 997 lineup’s look over the 996's, but I will agree that the 996 GT2 and RUF RGT are much better looking then their 997 equivalents (something about the squared up nose and big vents that just look awesome).

Yes he is. And yes they could have just made him into (insert crazy metal gear variant) but they went with crazy cyborg ninja with high heels that act more like a primate’s opposable big toe which can grip swords, knives, and allow him to hang off objects.

Well Raiden is male, and he uses his bionic high heels quite effectively.

I love the Esprit, but as Jeremy Clarkson once said. “Lotus stands for Lots Of Trouble Usually Serious.” (but total props to this guy, he made a badass “outlaw” esprit painted up like a royal navy aircraft).

Batou from the original Ghost in the Shell drives one.

Unlike Bugs, Daffy, and virtually all other Warner Bros. characters, Wile E. Coyote—at least in his earliest, best incarnations, before his series was handed off to hacks and went to shit—does not get dialogue to help express himself. He does not even get a voice.

I didn’t think you did, but somewhere someone does. So I had to make a joke about it.

“to be used as posable reference things elsewhere?”

I like that on too. All you really need are some fender flares, a smaller bumper, nice wide wheels, and lowered suspension to make a pretty decent looking car.

well it’s the Tavarish definition of “a little work.”

With a little work, Mustang II’s can look awesome.

I’m saddened that you had the “Mad World” Gears trailer and didn’t mention the “Bad World” Bad Company Trailer or any of the other Bad Company trailers lampooning the big shooters of the time.

HRT operates overseas regularly with other Teir 1 elements, and is arguably harder to get in than either DEVGRU (which doesn’t really have a selection but a kind of draft pick of who’s who among vanilla seals) and CAG (which has a very intense selection process).
