We might see a next gen infamous 3 on the 20th, we don't know what suckerpunch has been working on since this came out. I played through about half of infamous when I got it free after the PSN hack. Not sure why I stopped, I think it just became a little repetitive. I should play infamous 2 one day especially considering its shorter, I've just googles the length at 12hours. Perfect!

Soul reaver completely swept me away when it first came out. Such a cool precise. That sound track is dripping in atmosphere (Square Enix just registered a Legacy of Kain related domain http://www.allgamesbeta.com/2013/02/square-enix-registers-legacy-of-kain.html fuck new consoles, this'll be the highlight if E3 for me) Fuck me that intro was amaaaaaazing, I just got all emotional watching it

Lollipop chainsaw was actually really imaginative. The goth zombie guy was awesome. So in this instance yeah fuck Spector.

Yeah the end if year wipe was a little disappointing, but this new series is top draw. Just watched graham norton, mark wahlberg was utterly trashed. Should check it out on YouTube

Idle Thumbs 93: Babywall the Horse Armor
melmer replied to Jake's topic in Idle Thumbs Episodes & Streams
My bad about Prothean. I'm pretty sure Catwoman came with every new purchase... Maybe that was a timed thing and if you buy it now it doesn't come with it. Either way I totally agree with you on withholding story content as DLC, although I think it does depend on how it's handled. The grand theft auto episodes and minerva's den is what story DLC should be. completely separate stand alone stories (I guess that's what minerva's den is I haven't played it) these stories can run parallel and insect the main narrative that's fine, enriching the oringinal narrative, giving you a different view point on it. I think ultimately if you feel like you are missing some part of the story then that's the worst as it overshadows your whole experience. I played through Mass Effect 2 without the DLC character and didn't feel like I missed anything, in fact I didn't even know about it until my friend started describing his time with the game. Similarly the prince of presia 2008 had a prequel DLC which was core story, but again I didn't feel like I had missed anything. -
We've probably all, or will all experience Warrens shorting allotted gaming time per week. Over these past 10 years, and most drastically this past year my gaming habits has gone from practically all my spare time to less than 10 hours a week (and I haven't even had kids yet) If we say most of video game play time is just time wasting... What game is an expectable waste of time? I guess it's all a matter of opinion and what your tastes are. For me i felt my time with games like Journey or the walking dead was fully justifiable with no guilt attached as they were new valuable experiences. Where as the whole time i was playing Mass Effect 3 and Assassin Creed 3 I had in the back of my mind "I really should be painting my house". The experience I was having didn't justify the time I was spending on it. I feel the same about watching bullshit day time television. I didn't feel like I was wasting my time when I was playing the Witcher 2, which is a pretty similar experience to Mass Effect 3 and Ass Creed 3. And I think there's two difference, one is the quality of the writing/narrative and the other is the quality of gameplay, is that one hour session a dull repetitive grind or is it filled with interesting fun entertainment. I've been spending a lot of time recently playing sonic racing transformed, and although the game is repetitive, it has that halo factor, exhilarating entertaining 10 second moments over and over again. It's a throw back to the games we used to play 15-20 years ago when gameplay was key. I'm a little worried about starting up Ni No Kuni as I've heard it's a grind, whether or not I stick with it ultimately comes down to the gameplay. Here I am saying gameplay is key in justifying my game playing time when two minutes ago I name dropped the walking dead, of course the writing carried that game. I think it just goes to show that video games as a medium is so broad and diverse you can't make sweeping gestures about it, but quality will shine through, and heartless money grab yearly upgrades and sequels just won't cut it anymore. (Will the walking dead season 2 be a heartless money grab? Does the team all feel like "We've done this, we've told our zombie story" I hope there's still passion there or it will show in the final product)

Idle Thumbs 93: Babywall the Horse Armor
melmer replied to Jake's topic in Idle Thumbs Episodes & Streams
The prothean DLC in Mass Effect 3 and Catwoman DLC in Arkham city comes free with the game if you buy them new. It's just a way of making money out of people who buy the games second hand. I actually rented both titles and bought both DLC's and i didn't have a problem with it. I should've really purchased both games because I knew they'd be amongst the best games of the year and I'd get a lot of enjoyment out of them. (Actually mass effect was complete garbage and I quit it after 14 hours, but luckily I played through the DLC mission I had purchased in that time) -

Little inferno isn't in the uk top hundred paid app. The app icon and in game screenshots on the app page are really boring. They're probably doing themselfs a disservice. The beautiful fire effects that Sean spoke of... Not in the Screenshots https://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/little-inferno/id590250573?mt=8 Edit. Sorry fire is in the screenshots Why isn't there video trailers in the App Store? -
Non UK plebs can watch weekly wipe, this episode was really good http://youtu.be/UUEnl3QNAkc

Gave just Gabe this talk 2 hours ago. Retreading a lot of similar ground, but it's nice to hear him say it rather than reading headlines and sound bites. I can't wait to have my Mington page on the idle thumbs steam store. You know you want it. Correct me if I'm wrong but did he say, in the future, for example, i'd be able to sell the characters I've unlocked on sonic racer. I'd like that. -
I can't see one company doing it and not the other.

Dayum, if this is all true i'll probably skip the Xbox9000 http://www.edge-online.com/news/the-next-xbox-always-online-no-second-hand-games-50gb-blu-ray-discs-and-new-kinect/ Microsoft’s next console will require an Internet connection in order to function, ruling out a second-hand game market for the platform. A new iteration of Xbox Live will be an integral part of Microsoft’s next console, while improved Kinect hardware will also ship alongside the unit. Sources with first-hand experience of Microsoft’s next generation console have told us that although the next Xbox will be absolutely committed to online functionality, games will still be made available to purchase in physical form. Next Xbox games will be manufactured on 50GB-capacity Blu-ray discs, Microsoft having conceded defeat to Sony following its ill-fated backing of the HD-DVD format. It is believed that games purchased on disc will ship with activation codes, and will have no value beyond the initial user. Our source has also confirmed that the next Xbox’s recently rumoured specs are entirely accurate. That means an AMD eight-core x64 1.6GHz CPU, a D3D11.x 800MHz graphics solution and 8GB of DDR3 RAM. As of now, the console’s hard drive capacity is said to be undecided, but Microsoft’s extended commitment to online delivery suggests that it will be the largest unit it has put inside a console to date. Though the architectures of the next-gen Xbox and PlayStation both resemble that of PCs, several development sources have told us that Sony’s solution is preferable when it comes to leveraging power. Studios working with the next-gen Xbox are currently being forced to work with only approved development libraries, while Sony is encouraging coders to get closer to the metal of its box. Furthermore, the operating system overhead of Microsoft’s next console is more oppressive than Sony’s equivalent, giving the PlayStation-badged unit another advantage. Unlike Nintendo, Microsoft is continuing to invest heavily in motion-control interfaces, and a new, more reliably responsive Kinect will also ship alongside the next Xbox. Sony’s next-generation console camera system is said to have a similar set of features, and is expected to be discussed at the company’s PlayStation event on February 20.

^ That video played after the credits rolled in the witcher 2... I think they added it for the extended edition Here's the W3 teaser I was hoping for a full trailer from the studio who did the cyberpunk and witcher 2 intro (which is the coolest intro ever, I watched it all the way through practically every time I started up the game) Witcher 2 intro, that was added for the extended addition I believe:

Not an option I'm afraid "In place of the former dodge roll, Geralt has a new pivot move “that retains its defensive utility without game-breaking mobility.”

Maybe they'll introduce new weapons so the new animations are for axes and flails (I do love a good flail). Or it could just be context critical hit moves for each enemy species Being open world 30 times the size of the witches 2, they're going to have to introduce a jump button right?!

What Geralt needs. Whatever makes me happy, sets you free. Lol! We're having a title change
