  1. Ollymoss.com has got your back I've used so many of these illustrations as wallpaper not even knowing they were done by the same guy, let alone a idle thumb guy

    Round 2
  3. Gone Home from The Fullbright Company

    I watched a little trailer. Now am thinking the games about child abuse. Some Fritzl shit has been going down in that basement. The night is dark and full of terrors Is cthulhu in the attic? (Its weird, because its a video game my mind instantly always travels to the extreme dark places, I see a dark empty house and instantly think silent hill. I've never experienced subtlety in a game like this before, its always some grotesque flesh monster and a dead body in the last room)
  4. Gone Home from The Fullbright Company

    Why is there always a dead body in the final room? Or maybe it'll be a surprise birthday party! Sorry I don't really know anything about this game, although I did watch that fridge video... I know nothing about this game. Is it a horror game? I'm guessing its not? Although unfamiliar empty house at night time is kinda spooky. Are you worried that people will think its a horror game? Which would be totally alright if it is a horror game. But is it a horror game though? Ain't you glad I didn't come to your GDC booth
  5. And next week will almost all be end game spoilers you better hurry up yo
  6. Mark of the Ninja

  8. Recently completed video games

    I completed God of War Ascension a few weeks back, kind of a slow start but by the time the credits rolled The way the levelling up works means you don’t really get to have any fun until about the half way mark when you start unlocking magic. There are disposable side weapons this time round which are a fun little distraction, but 90% of the time you will be using the good old blades of chainy death. Kratos is a very angry man yet again, but this time I feel deservedly so. 3 nasty witches are toying with him and the memories of his dead family. The puzzles are pretty good, there are 3 or 4 real head scratchers. I was actually surprised at how difficult they were and that they didn’t supply any hints (but I suppose in this day and age you can just jump on youtube to figure them out) (Actually a friend of mine quit GoW1 because he got stuck on a puzzle) The menu screen is utterly stupid, I didn’t even realise it was a ‘menu’ until about half way through the game. If ‘The Multiplayer mode cannot be found on the Main Menu.’ Is a Frequently asked question you’ve obviously done a piss poor job of creating a menu But all in all well worth a play One little thing I noticed is after Kratos dismembers one of the witches, chopping off an arm. No one bats an eyelid… it’s never addressed. Not even a little ‘I’ll get you for this’. Now if someone chopped my arm off, I’d be pretty miffed. But imagine being an immortal, having lived since the beginning of creation, then one day some little scamp comes along and chops off your arm, how annoyed would you be knowing that you now have to live out the rest of eternity missing an appendage! Not even a mention
  9. In this instance the game really does feel like the whole package, there's no way these DLC chapters will come along a slot into in mid story. or just rent it for freeeeee (if you are aaa aaa aaa aaaaaaaa North American scum) http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=496460
  10. BioShock Infinite

    Yeah that's the one thing that confuses me still, what are Bookers memories?
  11. BioShock Infinite

    look at that verticality its unreal, i never fully appreciated these gameplay demos until now i hope we're treated to something like this in the DLC. I've heard one will reveal more about the songbird, hopefully that means you'll play as the man who gets turned into songbird. Make him a fearless daredevil, the first man to ride the sky lines, fighting crime, Columbias own superhero! Who gets duped and mortally injured by the villainous Fink and transformed into Songbird. Or don't set it in Columbia at all...
  12. BioShock Infinite

    ha, i remember seeing your post but it was before i finished the game. forgot about it. then my brain tricked me in to thinking it was an original thought
  13. Resident Evil 6: President Evil

    The camera got patched in Dec Past patch review http://www.1up.com/do/blogEntry?bId=9116863 Crippling gameplay issues -- stemming from the default field-of-view -- absolutely mutilated all that Resident Evil 6 had to offer. The trademark over-the-shoulder perspective was back, but dialed in so close that the bodies of our characters swallowed up over a third of the screen. This lead to players being ambushed from their peripheral, as well as causing the camera to jerk and jank when navigating through tight corridors, taking cover, evading and when initiating melee attacks -- completely negating every single stride, and coming dangerously close to being unplayable. In many ways, this quandary made Resident Evil 6's first title update feel like the real release date for the game. After two months of scathing feedback from the Resident Evil fanbase, December 17th, 2012 marked the debut of the long-awaited title update that included all new camera options that permitted players to fine tune Resident Evil 6's field-of-view to their unobstructed liking, as well as unlocking Ada Wong's campaign -- the most well-rounded of the pack -- from the outset. Maybe its time to jump back in, i didn't mind the Leon demo. But when i got my hands on the actual game that first Chris chapter was nye on unplayable The Revelations port is still 2 months away
  14. Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon

    So i guess the game will always be at night time, or red dawn time. I wonder if they'll do away with all the weather effects Probably like all these kind of spin off games you'll be able to finish it in 2-3 hours
  15. Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon

    Not nesesarily as this'll be a stand alone title (on Xbox not sure how they'll deal with it for PC) It lives.... Screenshots http://www.allgamesbeta.com/2013/04/far-cry-3-blood-dragon-first-screens.html Slightly underwhelming I expected more laser beams
  16. Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain

    Rain on my parade why don't you And anyways, my copies fucking mint! Just like me
  17. LucasArts is no more

  18. BioShock Infinite

    Im thinking placeholder as I remember Irrational kinda made a big deal when they cast booker and Liz http://irrationalgames.com/insider/full-voice-cast-for-bioshock-infinite-revealed/ Edit that article is relatively new try this one http://irrationalgames.com/insider/behind-booker-and-liz/
  19. BioShock Infinite

    Now that the game is finally out, I wonder how the frat boys liked it? It's funny I was looking at the amazon reviews for it today, see what average joe public thinks of it, and came up with some stuff that never even crossed my mind like weapons not changing appearance when upgraded and NO BIG DADDY'S: 3/5 I really loved Bioshock 1 and loved everything about it. The graphics, the atmosphere, the characters and of course Rapture. I was really disappointed with this game but will show you my pros and cons so it doesn't make it a boring review. Pros Another Bioshock Game Some nice graphics in places (Church and candles) The Skylines are something different and quite fun to travel on In depth story for hardcore fans Cons Jerky frame rate that hiccups often Blury textures and over saturated colours No Atmosphere (unlike BS1) Boring main characters (except Liz) No big daddies Too complex story (especially ending) why? Weapons are boring and don't look different when upgraded Picking up coins and health a chore Liz keeps passing coins.. Annoying !! No map and pressing d-pad to find out where to go is a pain Too many cloned (look alike) people I really was disappointed and cannot see what all the hype is about this game? I think Bioshock 1 was FAR better and wont be selling that one !! (This guys handle is probably BigDaddyFan37)
  20. BioShock Infinite

    I think that would've just been a place holder voice and the proper voice talent came on later when the majority of the script was written
  21. BioShock Infinite

    Bookers practically a Jedi in that video Telekenesis always feels more like a tool than a weapon to weapon, unless you've got ravenholms circular saw blades scattered all over the place I never really think to use it, dead space 3 really tries to push it as a weapon towards the end of the game. But if I'm not being forced or told to use it my mind doesn't think to use it. Perhaps they'll make use of TK in the DLC?
  22. BioShock Infinite

    Earlier i looked at the xbox live gallery images and they're all still from the 2010 demo where Comstock doesn't have a beard or is particularly old Everyone should watch the 2010 10min demo again once they finished the game it's fascinating, there's telekinesis and all sorts going on The quantum levitation thing must not have been thought up yet either as the buildings are on big old air balloons I want a moving mechanical horse! I kinda really want to play that game now. Man I hope being tied to this console generation didn't massively hold the game back, it fit on one DVD for the Xbox for Christ sake. Saying that, after seeing PC screenshots I feel like I've missed out massively not playing this on a PC. I hope to god they put out a next gen game of the year edition with all the DLC, make it a console launch downloadable title and it'll probably be the first game I buy
  23. Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain

    But look how much I can sell it for. Wat wat
  24. The RED guy!Also watch out for throwing knifes as if light gun games are to be believed they're always 100% accurate (and call of duty YouTube videos) Zeusthecat the game you want is rainbow six Vegas, maybe, it has more realistic accuracy for the player, if you try and move and shoot at the same time you can forget about hitting anything. Ooo I hope the new one is a next gen launch title
