This is a good watch for all my fellow MGS fans. I’m so excited for Tuesday!

thats where im at with pokemon. just finished the kalos dex to get a shiny charm. turns out you only get the shiny charm when you finish the national dex (7I8 pokes). ive got about 628 now so i reckon ive come too far to stop now.

I got to chapter 8 on the plane and just rolled my eyes on the first side quest I went to lol

A great game with an awful endless backtrack system which ruins the fun

Oh well I’m back and ready for that dark souls biaaaaatch

God damn House of Cards is so fucking godlike. I fear I may stay up all night watching it because I can’t stop.

me and the missus watched the first episode and werent really feeling it. sounded like shit was gonna go down though for ep 2

man i gotta start watching House of Cards. i hear good things about it. heard Season 2 is especially good.

i saw the first episode of Terra-Nova on Netflix last night. super duper good series. ill continue watching that series.

oh god DS2 . . . soooooo gooooood.

Being a soul bro can actually turn you human. The joys of Jolly Cooperation!
EDIT - well shit . . . that appears to be a bug :frowning:

You guys have to see this. Too hilarious not to share. Scroll down. You’ll see what I’m talking about.

Of all the stupid, petty stuff Neogaf bans people for, this buy will not get banned for selling a game covered with poop.

Stay classy.

The HELL I’m going to give more money to the most vile game company on the face of the Earth and support their pathetic distribution platform. You guys shouldn’t either…

If you have a decent gaming PC there’s thousands of better multiplayer games you could be playing. Strike Vector, MWO, Hawken. Titanfall is entry-level shit for console gamers. Doesn’t even rank among the best mech games.

They won’t, he’s being sarcastic. EA made Origin to compete with Steam.

oh psychojosh, never change

if you think its a mech game you’re doing it wrong

trust, i’ll have some footage up this weekend and y’all will see the truth

also yeah ea is shit and origin is shit and etc but honestly who gives a flying fuck. its not like steam. its literally something i right click once to select titanfall and then never look at it again. i dunno why everyones up in arms really who fucking cares what app you’re using to launch another app

Have you played Titanfall enough to give an unbiased comparison between those games? How do the player bases (that is, number of active players) of the three games you listed compare to Titanfall? Why is Titanfall “entry-level shit”, can you explain what game mechanics make it terrible? I’m not sure why you included Strike Vector in the list, it doesn’t seem to be in the same genre as Titanfall.

honestly everything youve seen about titanfall has been childs play. nobodys figured out how to play this game yet(myself and others included) and there’s lots of crazy things people are discovering

one of those things is if you bunny hop, you retain momentum as long as you keep bunnyhopping. so you can walljump up a building, hit a zip line, etc to get crazy momentum, then continue it on the ground to cover open areas you’d normally get squashed by titans in or be easy pickings for infantry

if you let go of w in the air, you get increased air control and etc etc

mark my words people are going to figure out some cap routes that will make you scratch your head because it’s going to be so insane your brain will want to escape

edit

here’s a good video of someone explaining the mechanics a bit

It’s a game, with mechs, therefore it’s a mech game. This isn’t hard, I’m sorry you have trouble figuring this out. I’m aware that it also copies Call of Duty shamelessly, but it’s still a mech game.

Yeah, who gives a fuck? It’s only unnecessary bloatware that’s forced down your throat, doesn’t allow you to use your Steam friends list, allows EA to install spyware on your machine and enforce their terrible DRM, and ban you from using their games for pretty much any reason they see fit, because according to them, you don’t own their games, you just pay for the permission to play it. Also they delete your purchases if you don’t use them for a certain length of time.

But who gives a fuck WOO TITENFAWL!!!11

psychojosh i bet you titans will be near useless except for specific situations in titanfall once the meta gets fleshed out(team dropping to stack defense, early titans for caps, etc)

when i think mech game i think of gameplay centered around using mechs. this is not going to be one of those games

im e-knighting this shit really hard but there is something special here in this game that makes its publisher and whatever other external issues you might have with it completely irrelevant because the gameplay itself is so good

From what I understand, this is pretty far from true.

it is made by the exact same company, uses hitscan bullet modeling and has unlockable guns

thats about as close to cod as it gets in my estimation. last i played cod you can’t run at 200kph up a wall having a shootout with a bunch of robots and other players flying around in all different directions

It is made by the guys who made modern Call of Duty what it is, and then left that team to make their own game.

I had Battlefield 3 on my computer unplayed since probably month one and they never deleted it. I don’t like the app either but it is unintrusive, doesn’t hassle me anywhere near as much as Java, and while I would prefer to use Steam I really don’t care enough.

and I also recognize that trying to boycott EA is a complete and total waste of time. Besides, they publish some pretty sick games.

this isn’t exactly the strongest baseline

batwings on the hottest day of the year while playing at HQ didn’t hassle me as much as java does
