Anyway - I got 60 on D3 last night. Gonna try to start up on Sniper Elite V2 again. I've been tunnel visioned on D3 since its release >.>

I dunno. I don't like to see any of these places close their doors but the game was just not any good. It was polished and entirely vapid.

For the last 4-5 weeks I've actually been, erm... focusing on. well.

Can't say much about the story but the gameplay for Max Payne 3 is

Bullet time is back, and it rules

Finished it. A decent story, it led where you thought it would...it had to. The game-play was fun though. I feel like there is more to the game that I missed, admittedly I played it through for the story and rushed it. I'll spend a bit more time and see how things play out next time.

Anybody keep up with this year's E3 coverage? Looked pretty lackluster to me this year with a few exceptions. The Last of Us looks pretty cool.

Watch Dogs also looked good.

Past that - all that I saw was "KINECTKINECTKINECT" from Microsoft, "Here's a TON of detail about a minigame" from nintendo, and "..." from Sony.

I wasn't able to watch it, though - I just read up on some of the headlines after the fact.

Pretty good summary there.

Borderlands 2 and Halo 4 are the only releases I'm excited for. Borderlands 2, to me, will surpass Skyrim. Borderlands is by far my favorite game

I'm FIENDING for Borderlands2.

Just actually bought Command & Conquer "The First 10 years" 'cause I was missing Generals: Zero Hour.

Secret World: Preordered. Perhaps foolish but, meh. It was shiney. I'll know during this weekend's beta if it's money that would've been better spent on a couple boxes of Iron Horses.

I keep getting caught by these "Indy Bundle" things. I like supporting the small scale dev shops but I wish the games didn't just SUCK so much.

Still psyched for Torchlight 2.

D3 still covered in mehsauce.

Warlock is taking WAY too much of my time "eh, I'll play a couple turns...no WAY that was 3 hours! O.O!"

Don't forget Call of Duty blah blah #172. The g4 guy was saying how cool it was that they've "stayed true to the formula that made them successful". Yep that's one way to put it.

NCAA 13 will be out here soon. I really enjoy the NCAA games. EA needs to go back to the basics on their NFL games. To much BS on the NFL games.

I cant wait for the new Assassans Creed. Killing red coats is going to be fun!

The naval battles look epic! Can't wait to play this one.

Assassin's Creed 3 and Borderlands 2 are going to be two of only a few games this year that I'm a) really excited about and b) will actually play all the way through

oooo35980 · 06-15-2012, 08:21 PM

I almost feel like the Assassin's creed games are rolling out too fast, I mean I know they have a story to tell, but it's like they are making expansion packs and selling them as full games.

I see what you're saying but I can't completely agree, the games have quite a bit of play time. That said it really isn't hard to make a few changes to essentially the same game and come up with a new storyline.

I enjoy the franchise though, reminds me of the Hitman games, speaking of which I can't wait for the new one.

Although I couldn't playthrough Revelations, it's terrible....I'll have to complete it though

Making a few changes and coming up with a new story line used to be called an expansion pack. Because it takes a fraction of the time and effort that an actual full game takes, the cost should be adjusted accordingly, IMO anyway. Another 60 bucks for what is essentially just a story continuation is a major peeve of mine.

Bill86 · 06-16-2012, 06:01 PM

Frankly paying $60 for a game is too much period. Not sure when they made that change but I do not support it at all. I agree with the cost 120%.

They are getting lazier and lazier with games I will give you that as well.

Getting pretty bad, I haven't been IMPRESSED in a while.

medal of honor - war fighter should be pretty cool, also the new GTA is coming out.
