Last video!

"Snoutu. That's Japanese for snout." Abandoned mineshafts look terrifying indeed. That shit is literally House of Leaves all over again. DO NOT WANT.

I'll update this post when the fifth video comes out.

I showed up to Gamestop to pick up Space Marine at the midnight launch. I was one of 30+ people there, yet was only one of two people there for Space Marine. You have all brought shame to the Emperor.

For any Chaos fans, the Thousand Sons aren't included in the premade schemes, yet oddly enough, their shoulder badge can be found with all the others. There's even a color called "Thousand Sons Blue". You have to make the scheme yourself, but it's not like that's hard.

There's no in-game server browser either. If you want to switch servers, you have to actually EXIT THE GAME, then go through Origin and find another server. It's a clunky and horrible system, and DICE is 100% convinced this is the best way to do it. BF2 and BF2142 is the best the series is ever gonna get.

I got into the alpha, played for about an hour, then uninstalled it and never looked back. It's basically BC2 all over again, except all the good bits from BC2 are gone. So it's somehow worse. BUT DON'T WORRY, THERE'S JETS NOW.

Battlefield 3 apparently has 1.25 million preorders. That means that 1.25 million people are essentially buying Bad Company 2 again, yet they'll still praise it as the greatest game in the series.

Took some multiplayer footage. I did rather poorly, but oh well. I'll post it once it's uploaded. EDIT: Customizer video is done.

It's your call. Exterminatus won't be out until October. If you end up getting it for PC, I'll let you farm me a bit so you can level up and get a better start in multiplayer - it's rough until you start unlocking more goodies. The really nice thing is that Relic allows you to copy your killer's loadout for one life, which can help put you on equal footing with others. EDIT: If you do pick it up for PC, I sent you a friend invite on Steam. The name is Sock [Team Win], if you're wondering who the random friend invite was from.

It is. It does kinda suck starting out, but that's true for any game with a leveling system - it only sucks because you don't have the neat toys that help you do your job better. There's two modes: Seize Ground, which is a territories/control point style of gameplay, and Annihilation, which is basically good ole' Slayer. Teams are automatically sorted into either Space Marines or Chaos Marines, you don't really get a say in it - however, if you invited buddies to join you before you picked one of the game modes, the game will actually attempt to keep you on the same team as your friends, which is much appreciated. There's numerous weapons and perks. Tactical Marines have the largest amount of weapons to choose from, whereas Devastators/Havocs and Assault Marines/Raptors have less. Every weapon has its own pros and cons. Perks are unlocked as you level up, or as you fill certain requirements (kill 50 enemies with a power axe/chain axe, for example). Co-op multiplayer is coming out in October, and any experience earned there will apply towards multiplayer as well. EDIT: Checked some other sites, now that more reviews have gone out. Lowest review I've seen it get so far is an 80, highest being a 90. The classes in multiplayer are fairly well-balanced (for the most part), but there are issues with it - an Assault Marine/Raptor that knows what they're doing can absolutely obliterate almost any other class, save for another Assault Marine/Raptor. Tactical Marines feel a bit weak at times, but have uses. Last but not least, the plasma cannon for the Devastator/Havoc is ridiculously powerful - luckily, you can only get it at level 20.

Sorry for four posts in a row, but I spent a good part of the day playing multiplayer. Leveling system is put in, with a cap of 41. You unlock new items for the customizer and loadouts every few levels, or once you finish certain objectives. Every weapon in the campaign is also in multiplayer. There's three different classes to choose from, each with their own play style. Throw in all the items and the painter, and it's incredibly unlikely that you'll ever find a marine that looks like yours.

Already beat the campaign. They weren't kidding when they said it was short, but damn was it fun. Relic has done an amazing job making everything look and feel absolutely massive, and there's a wide selection of weapons. If you love Warhammer 40k, you're gonna love the campaign. The difficulty steadily ramps up, and even on normal, I was dying and having difficulty with some of the fights. I can't imagine it on hard. Also, there's only two boss battles in the game, and the last is very reminiscent of the Meta-Ridley fight from Metroid Prime 3 (in a good way). Gonna grab a shower, then I'll try out the multiplayer. EDIT: I'm gonna put a list of the campaign weapons under spoiler tags below, for folks that like that sort of thing to be a surprise. Most of them also made it into multiplayer as well.

Any review, you say? I'm going to a midnight launch for it later tonight so I can grab my copy. I already have a very good impression of it from the demo, so I'll let you know how the campaign is. Similar to DoW, it already sounds like the multiplayer will make up the biggest chunk of content. Campaign was already described as being 8-12 hours in length, which isn't much.
-
That is outstanding, how did you do it?
-
Jeez, thanks for the spoilers. Also, speaking of... Is there any way to save YOU KNOW WHO? It's possible.

Video Games and the Media, and why it's bullshit.

I know we get good stories as well, but the negative stories woefully outnumber the positive ones. -
Just something I was thinking about today. It disappoints me so much that all we ever see in the news are the horror stories about video games or the internet, and I know it's only because that's what gets views (and that's a huge issue with the media today, but a topic for another discussion). We get stories about how "GTA trains kids to be murderers", or how the internet is going to let creepy old men stalk your children. We never get stories about the people who meet online or over video games and form a real relationship, or the children who use video games to overcome a developmental problem. Son, I am disappoint.

- love it. Kirby 64 was the highlight of my childhood, and I still love hearing the music to this day. I've always loved the music in Kirby games. There's just something about it.

YOU SHOULD. Better have it finished before ME3 comes out so you can import. There was some Cerberus armor you could wear in ME2, but it didn't look nearly as good as this stuff.

The Spike VGA Awards typically aren't until December, so if it does get announced there, we'll have to wait a few months more for it.
