Yep, and when everyone boosts to get modded it’s a lose/lose situation for “honest” racers. Even if I found fellow boosters, Criminal Records track is a total drag.

Simple story: I had preordered Dragon’s Crown (at Gamestop) chiefly for the art book, but due to circumstances was unable to pay the full bill at launch date. So I shifted the credit to another title and casually mentioned regret for not getting the DC book. The clerk merely shrugged and gave me one anyway. Very…

It’s been a mixed bag for me. I actually don’t mind tooling around alone and doing missions or even doing deathmatches or survival, but lack of dedicated players means I haven’t done a single heist as of yet. If there was one chance for Rockstar to get a decent matching system a la WoW’s dungeon pugs, it should have…

I agree with you. It simply isn’t fun without a dedicated group. And I have friends who own the game who simply don’t want to touch it anymore.

If I remember correctly, my first encounter with the game was in an arcade at Coney Island, NYC (when Coney Island didn’t feel so depressing to go to).

Do you absolutely have to? No. The game does mention incidents that happen during GZ but it’s by no means mandatory.

I understand the guards simply won’t check if they hear those ungodly sounds coming from the toilet, but I haven’t tested it out. Maybe try it during a full alert?

I was going to protest a little but seeing it’s a retread of Miller’s scene it’s all good. I do think the whole “avoid the internet” thing isn’t a fair thing to say, sometimes a dude just wants to cruise Kotaku daily without fear of massive spoilers. But we’ve established it’s not, moot point.

I’m a sucker for supertight, cartoonish-style comic work, reminds me of the (sadly) late Mike Wieringo’s style. Like Palpatine, I’ll be following this guy’s work with great earnest.

Wow, surprised they didn’t design a Les Enfants Terribles....anything, though perhaps they would have copyright conflicts with the novel and film by the same name.

“Erotic Tactical Espionage Action.”

Clearly, it’s this guy.

Semi related but shenanigans like this is why I wanted to play MGSV’s Metal Gear Online asap, because it never seems to last long as it is. But since finding out there’s barely any online trophies (just for the one on one invasion mode), I can relax now.

Mitsuru = the only senpai I’ve labored to notice me.

The ways I’m justifying buying this game at Day One retail:

Well, that confirms my earlier statement...he is a better man than I. If anything, this makes my resolve to get the game even stronger, thank you.

I won’t dispute this if you’re undeniably certain of the fact, but on the surface I would find it unlikely that Kojima was merely a salaryman, prior to the shakeup anyway. If he got paid his due already, and not contracted for residuals - and Konami then showed him the door (supposing), why would Kojima keep promoting…

I’ve just finished placing my preorder, myself. This game is still KojiPro’s baby, after all.

Right. Udon’s collective comic book talent is unquestionable, but I just feel that this was a bad experiment that also got rushed out in the end, IIRC.

All of Udon’s sprite work on that game was terrible.
