When Halo 2 released, 4 of my friends and I all had modded Xboxes (as well as non-Modded boxes for online play) with the leaked French version of Halo 2 already installed on them.

In order to get legit copies, we showed up in the Gamestop/Target (shared) parking lot in a Winnebago with our modded boxes set up for…

I agree. They’ve seriously over-saturated themselves. I played the first game - thought it was ‘meh’, but believed a sequel would be amazing. The sequel *was* amazing.... and even Brotherhood was a lot of fun.

By the time Revelations came around, I needed a break. It was just feeling like nothing much had changed since…

We did it, everyone! The patriarchy is now dead! This’s what we were fighting for, right?

It’s looking more and more like they’ll be focusing solely on Gaming (gambling) and likely trying to utilize their Video Game franchises in those machines - as well as in cheap mobile games.

Damn, I’m so fortunate to have sane, rational parents. Granted, none of their 5 children are fuck ups. We’re merely a family who respects each others’ privacy - and we all have a hard time holding grudges. It just requires too much energy. The children simply have a don’t ask/don’t tell policy when it comes to our…

Yeah, Nintendo’s always been pretty uneven. Sure, the NES and SNES were amazingly solid - and their handhelds have always been great (even despite my initial doubt in the first DS). But ever since the N64, it’s been a First Party show. Personally, I think the N64 is their worst console... (not sure what I categorize…

You know, I was going to accept Silent Hills being canceled. I’d rather Kojima work on something he’s actively passionate about - and it sounds like that’s just not happening at Konami any more.

However, them completely removing P.T - even from re-download - is just a huge ‘Fuck you!’ to everyone. Seriously, I’m buying…

Reboot were okay games, but not good Castlevania games.... The 2.5D side-game based on it was mediocre... and there have been no good 2D or 2.5D games since the original DS.

So yeah, Castlevania is also suffering... and no one has heard anything regarding a 3rd entry in the ‘reboot’, AFAIK.

Well, his Twitter account(s) have, at least, re-started posting various Metal Gear fan art and Cosplay. Not sure it’s him... And even if it is, they’re providing nothing of substance.

Well, I was merely stating an observation - not submitting it as any sort of absolute proof. I thought that was clear with my ‘I don’t know...” and the “I suspect...” prefaces.

Even my friends who actively talked shit on it still held onto their copies. There is (at least was) still hope within many players who were…

I don’t know... I don’t see a bunch when I look at used games at Gamestop.

Despite people’s beefs with it, they did enjoy the core mechanics. I suspect many people - even those who actively disliked it - held onto it hoping updates would flesh it out.

But you *can* get to the person throwing rocks. Just be patient.

Is spamming honorable or skillful? No. Can it be handled easily? Yes. It just requires patience.

I always preferred the look of the Panasonic Q (Gamecube) on my shelf. The lights on it were pretty spiffy. Plus it played DVDs!

Meh. Online play with *good* network code is a must for any fighting game. If you have issues with boring tactics that are easy to deal with that you feel the need to yell at someone to stop doing it, then just learn to deal with their tactics - then avoid them in the future - block them if you have to.

While I’m not…

It’s between 6 and 8 hours - depending on difficulty and how much you explore your environment. Certainly a healthy chunk.

Of course. Hell, back when the Dreamcast was first released with a Browser and a VMU - people were actually making XXX animations for the VMU.

That shit was hilarious.

You better wash yo’ ass!

THPS HD was terrible. The physics and speed matched neither THPS2 or THPS3 - making classic runs impossible to do. School 2 is virtually unplayable in the way it could be in either THPS2 or THPS3.

Such a disappointment.... and for such an obvious flaw.

Wait, are we talking about acting as Batman or both Batman/Bruce Wayne? Because fuck Christian Bale’s Batman... But his Bruce Wayne was great!

Keaton was my favorite live-action Batman/Wayne... and not simply because of nostalgia. I just found his overall performance and demeanor to be a nice balance of distant - yet…

I agree. I play games for the gameplay and the challenge... Not for terrible stories (like 98% of games have). Of course, there are a few exceptions and there are games I play strictly for relaxation (see: Flower, Music games, etc).

While I don’t understand why there are so many people that enjoy playing through video…
