I’ve played through Spec Ops: The Line several times and I’ve never understood this gameplay complaint. The game played just fine to me, pretty much just like an Uncharted game. Maybe some people just weren’t any good at it...

Ass Creed or CoD games are going to go out the door on the already publicized launch date regardless of preorders or the state of the game. Same goes for Halo, Madden, GTA, etc.

Couldn’t have said it better myself. The release dates that publishers and developers force on themselves (such as to hit the holiday season, etc.) has way more to do with the epidemic of broken games than preordering does. And because broken games can be patched post-release, they have no problem sticking with those…

It was the British bombed German cities by night. The Americans bombed German factories, train yards, fuel depots, etc. by day, keeping all that material from wiping out your vaunted Russian peasant army.

Yeah, that’s why Stalin kept crying like a baby for the Allies to open a second front...

And none of that would have counted for shit if they didn’t have fuel, food and other materials. T-34s don’t run on sugar and spice.

Yeah, I have. What allowed the Russians to build and transport and fuel all those T-34s? And what kept them from getting overwhelmed by superior German Tiger and Panther tanks? See my other replies for the answer.

From Wikipedia:

I see people like you do this all the time. You think the Soviets made the biggest contribution to the war effort because they lost millions of people and minimize the U.S. effort because our casualties were relatively low. Victory was made possible because the U.S. bombed German industry into the stone age, built…

The three super heroes turn into the three cars, then the woman chooses one to jump into so she can drive the hell out of that crumbling city. Everything else is just to grab your attention. Not sure why this is so difficult to understand...

I would pay serious money for that one.

I’m sorry, but unless you’re really interested in PvP or have a group of friends who are really dedicated to the game, Destiny is just as unrelentingly lame as ever.

This happens because the people making these games are doing so while sitting two feet away from a computer screen.

I played through The New Order last year and liked it. I’m playing through this right now and liking it as well. No, they aren’t quite the same experience, but you know what? The New Order was a $60 retail game, The Old Blood is a $20 downloadable title, basically a glorified XBLA/PSN game. I didn’t have the same…

Your avatar is some cliche anime character. Do you really want to get into an argument about taste?

Lots of people do.

To me, it isn’t monotony. This conversation, though...

Yes, but driving your car to work isn’t the same as driving a Formula 1 car around Monaco, not by a long shot. Neither is doing it in a video game, but it’s as close as most of us enthusiasts will ever get.

I understand that there’s racing in games like Burnout, but the hook of those games, the gimmick, is the crashing, the chaos. Everything else is fake cars in a fake city driving around on fake streets. I like being able to race real-world cars on real-world tracks and seeing how fast a lap time I can set.

I like these kinds of games because I’m a pretty serious car guy and auto racing fan and they give me a chance to do something that I will never get to do in real life. Burnout games (and the like) aren’t racing games to me, they’re crashing games.
