Starting with the Genesis, pretty much the only technical spec discussed with the public when a new console was being hyped was bits. I can even remember all of that off the top of my head. The NES was 8 bit, the Genesis was 16 as was the SNES. The PS and Saturn were hyped as 32 bit while the N64 got it’s name from…

Yeah, first time playing Halo was a watershed moment for a lot of gamers of a certain age. Just mind-blowing and as I was saying on the Halo 5 discussion the other day, people forget that was before Xbox Live. That campaign was a fucking revelation and so influential

Steam keeps recommending Beyond Good and Evil to me. Thoughts?

I think mostly because it’s tl;dr

What about commercials? I mean, I grew up around the same time as the fictional Quill and Stallone was literally everywhere

True, but it still raises the Rocky and Rambo problem. Stallone was one of the biggest movie stars in the world when Quill was on Earth, and Rocky and Rambo were icons. There is no way he wouldn’t remember what Stallone looked like

I think the trick would be to not overplay it. It would need to be a one off joke and not really elaborated upon to function in my book. It would probably be a bit stronger also if the dialogue where the joke took place didn’t involve Ego at all. Something like the crew returns to the Milano after meeting Ego and…

Jesus Christ, what were these PAC people thinking? Had they never been on the internet before? Hell, 5 minutes with a grade school bully would make this outcome pretty predictable

“People don’t realize, you know, the Civil War, you think about it, why? People don’t ask that question, but why was there the Civil War? Why could that one not be worked out? I mean Iron Man, Captain America, tremendous heroes. Great guys. Why couldn’t that have been worked out? If I had been president, or Andrew…

You almost have to say something like that when comparing the two companies historically. The rivalry between DC and Marvel fans is intense. It is accurate though, both companies were at a creative zenith in the late 70s/early 80s. They were just focused on different audiences. DC was making the bulk of its money on…

Right, and considering that the game will almost certainly be about fictional characters in WW2, it’s really not that much of a stretch to imagine a WAC or something stationed in Europe who gets caught up in the fighting

I feel like if the historical accuracy can survive the Nazi zombies, it can survive the inclusion of a female army nurse or something character model in the multiplayer

Nice, such a good find.

Well, at least that is something to look forward to

Yeah the multiplayer was well put together and decent, the problem is that despite what the Halo devs keep saying and what the gaming media keeps repeating, the single player (or split screen coop) experience is a huge part of what has made the franchise so successful. Yes Halo has a strong multiplayer community and…

Yes and as long as you take the time and resources to develop a good story and campaign instead of mainly focusing on trying to create an esports league for ESPN 2

Halo game campaigns don’t matter all that much, of course. The multiplayer is what keeps Halo’s heart pumping and I can’t speak to that.

Obviously it’s just going to be Gnarrk

The problem is that it is not any good by any measure

If it was a drinking and napping contest, I’d be in
