Shame the fuck on people for buying the games they like to play. What kind of gamer would purchase games they enjoy from the evil companies that make them??!!
Stop buying/playing videogames and be TRUE gamers. /sarc
For you PS3/4 guys, I highly recommend trying DC Universe Online. Play it for one hour; see what you think.
I dislike MMOs and RPGs.
Assassin’s Creed got boring. They have a good concept but they don’t know how improve on what they have. I bought the Freedom Cry side game the othe day mainly because PS4 has no games, but also because I haven’t played since the first 5 minutes of Revalations and I wanted to see the state of the series. The combat is still the same crap from the first game, the stealth is still a complete joke, still feels janky with some glitchy animations, and just has crappy missions overall.
Don’t be dumb*(I know that’s difficult for you, but try, okay?)*
A quick reading between the lines would tell you that I don’t begrudge anyone who actually enjoys Ass Creed year after year after year after year, but that they don’t get to complain about getting the same kinds of games all the time.
Hey, if getting an unfinished game followed up with Day One patches and 6 months of DLC that was planned before the release date was even finalized is okay with you, then THUMBS UP, SOLDIER…
Just don’t be surprised when the corporate guys keep on stuffing that DLC dick up your butt because you’ve decided to stop fighting and just take it… 
Battleborn will have Splitscreen Co-op
Shantae: Risky’s Revenge - Directors Cut PC version is out next week, July 15th:

Surprise, surprise…
Well here it is once more. Earlier than usual as well.
EDIT***: You know what? Dont buy this game. Wait like a god damn year, so you arent giving shit to Ubisoft. Wait till it’s like $20. I’ll even go so far as to tell you to pirate it so they dont get jack shit in the first place.
Day4 of Watch Dogs experiences.
Never in my life have I played a game that so genuinely enjoys taking me out of the experience. The game is growing on me, and I keep getting SOOOOOOO close to immersing myself in the world and feeling relation to the character I’m playing, and then the game fucks it up. I’ll give you spoiler free explanations as best as I can. Hopefully you can feel the rage that seeps forth from the words I type. Maybe a gif or two to emphasize.

Spawning in this game, is wonky as fuck. God help you if an enemy calls reinforcements. Not because of the extra guys that show up. Because of WHERE the extra guys show up. You see in most games, reinforcements appear out of sight from a speeding car around the corner. In this game, reinforcements have fixed entry points in the area. I had a sneaking section get botched through errors of my own. I tried to headshot a guy who has the ability to call in help not realizing he was wearing a helmet. So he eats my shot, stumbles behind cover and calls in help. I couldnt stop him because a hail of AK-47’s were now coming down upon me and movement was restricted. SOS call I intercepted goes like this.
This was a gang member by the way
"Yo this motherfucker out here tried to cap me! We needs some more dudes down here!"
"I got you B, we coming in now."
The instant that last line ended, five, count em(!), FIVE enemies spawn standing next to me. I dont mean a few feet away. I mean SFxTK grab range. Hong Kong subway train in rush hour. That fucking close. One of them was an armored enemy to boot. As if my imminent guaranteed death wasnt enough for the game, all the guys had shotguns as well. I died in less than a second. They popped up, aimed, 5 shells to my head from all directions. I took a break for awhile after that. -
I have another sin of mission design for you. I believe this breaks all laws of conveyance. There is a part where pretty much the entire city is looking for me after a cutscene. This is not an end game thing either, it’s about halfway if I say so myself. Aiden isn’t saying anything, I have no objective, it’s nighttime, I see lots of cop blips on my radar, and I have maximum wanted level. So I decided on a course of action any rational person would. Get back to a safe house to let the heat die off because I have one foot in the grave with this wanted level on foot. I steal a car, mark a safehouse on my map, and I start booking it. I’m a block away from my safe house, and the game tells me “Find the signal”, followed by, “Return to the mission area!” with a countdown timer for 15 seconds. I look at my map, the mission area is all the way back where I spawned after the cutscene, about 800 meters away. I fail the mission. I restart the mission and this is where my next example happens.

I spawn in the same place, and know I have to stay here for a bit and wait for the objective to pop up, because I cant expect the game to do shit on time. After about 2 minutes the objective marker finally comes up. I have to chase this guy in a vehicle. There is a hacker breaking the fourth wall and screwing with my screen(No it wasnt my TV). I catch the guy and light him up with an entire clip from an ACR for therapeutic effect. Well the cops are still after me. Now I can actually get to a safehouse. So I’m struggling to wade through the massive wave of boys in blue for awhile. Popping up road blocks, raising bridges as I pass them, even doing city blackouts just to give myself breathing room and make it harder to keep up with me. I get near a safehouse, and it’s not safe enough to get in there. Too many cops. So I manage out of the alleyway after pretty much all my doors get blown off by a sniper in a helicopter. Right now I’m already aggravated from evading these guys so long with blown out tires. I pull up my map to find another safehouse, but right as I do, the hacker I mentioned earlier fucks with my screen, and freezes the game.

Very seldom do I drop a game without finishing it, but this shit would try the patience of a saint. Watch Dogs does not want you to have fun. I’m certain of it. Why else would this game be thrown together so haphazardly and lazily? I just cant fucking even right now.
There’s a difference in reading between the lines and inferring meaning that was not there in the first place.
You outright (and for that matter, consistently dog DLC as a concept and iterative brands. Broadly, with no shades of gray. You apply far too much maleficence to gaming companies that they don’t deserve and you DO consistently begrudge people for supporting them. I do NOT buy CoD year in and year out because I don’t really care about “Murrca, FUCK YEA!” storylines, and painfully linear gameplay. I do, however like Assassin’s Creed so WHY SHOULDN’T I be happy to get that experience yearly, or why should anyone for that matter?
Iterations CAN and HAVE worked. I don’t see any conflict in condemning some series’ for it and supporting others.
Also, I’m completely relaxed now that I’m back from the gym. We can stop the sarcastic passive aggressive shit, and fight like gentlemen, eh?
What would everyone think of a system where a game couldn’t be sold used for a set time period, lets say 6 months or a year? I feel as though many niche games are dying out simply because the main retailers (ahem GameStop) don’t stock them. the people who play them are generally collectors who have no intention to trade and as such you might not even see niche game x on the shelf as an option for parent or young child looking to buy a game.
The last 3 times I’ve gone to get a game I’ve been excited about, none of my local stores had copies on either release day or day 2. GameStop got 1 copy of a game on release day and it wasn’t even on the floor, I had to ask if they had it behind the counter.
Sadly GameStop steers this industry and I don’t like the direction it’s been heading, but what can really be done?
i don’t know why people trudge through watch dogs. after day 2.5, i was done.
its just bad, so don’t put yourself through the pain. no one is going to ask “have you beaten watch_dogs?”
if it does happen, just say you have, say you became the worlds best hacker and saved the world, and no one will call you out on it.
I think that i dodged a bullet with Watch Dogs :wonder:
Lorne Lanning interview about Oddworld New n Tasty, how the game industry was and why he left, and why he has returned
interesting stuff…
Yes. You did.
I’m pushing through since I’ve already come so far. The story could be worse, but it is nothing short of generic. It really just borrows from GTA5 and all kind of crime movies before it. “Protagonist is a life time criminal who had a job go bad in the past. He tried to change his life around but it came back to haunt him and now he’s back at it.”. No fuck it. Not even the GTA5 thing. San An-fucking-dreas pulled this character development card.
When you step back and look at it, without hacking, what is this game? A cash grab trying to ride the rising “Free roam/sandbox” genre. Dont get me wrong the genre is not new, but it is starting to pop up more often. Without hacking, this game gets outshined by True Crime on my got damn PS2.
I guess the real issue I have is that I have a little bit of fun, and then Watch_Dogs reminds me that it is a game, and a shitty one at that. You cant BE in the world, you cant feel for any of the characters. Actually now that I think about it, they’re making a Watch_Dogs movie right? I think I’ll just stop playing and pay $8 to see how the story ends when the movie happens. Really no reason to put myself through this anymore. I cant even say it’s because I want to let my GD homies know “What’s really good” with this game. I think I should’ve scared the lot of you off by now.
Your AV made me chuckle when I read this.
What’s different with the director’s cut version? Is she nude in it or some shit like that? Usually, director cut implies its Unrated.
already did that and still dislike mmos
I only want to like it cause I like DC
It’s sad because watchdogs should be amazing given it’s concept. When I check it out on the live stream app it’s just people hacking each other and that’s it.
Don’t get me started on the multiplayer shit. Outside of races, the other modes are bullshit and you can’t opt out while connected to your online service. The invaders are at a significant advantage. I’m on mobile so I won’t go into detail. Just know that if you invade a game then you’re a fucking asswipe.
Also did you guys know free roam is exclusive to the next gen version? Its like Ghosts all over again. “Spend $400 to get the full features that are in this game even though your old console is capable of running it!”
FINALLY! GAWD. Been wanting to play that shit since last fucking year.
Yeah those invader dudes sure must be hard to deal with…
