  1. Also, found this while looking for that (slightly NSFW):
  2. I would buy Dead Space 2 if it were $10.

      I streamed/beat Dead Space 2 on Zealot difficulty a few weeks ago and I attempted it on Hardcore again recently. It is actually a very enjoyable game IMHO. The Stalkers are my favorite Necromorph addition because their group tactics make them challenging to kill. I thought that the story and characters were better in this one too. The game wasn't worth $60 to me, but it was definitely worth the $40 or however much it cost during the Steam sale.

      YOU WILL BUY IT NOW BECAUSE DEAD SPACE 2 IS AMAZING.

      I found it extremely enjoyable on my first playthrough- and it's actually fun to replay. There's New Game+ which helps, but in general it's just more fun and dynamic and actiony than the first. Much better story too. You should get it, man.

  3. When I said "Toy Story" I really meant the Toy Story series as a whole.
  4. I agree with the gist of this, though jaggies bug the shit out of me, and a little texture filtering would be nice to get rid of that line of high-res/low-res that's always running along the ground in front of you, but otherwise yeah, graphics improvements aren't that important to me. Of course I already get every game I can on PC anyway.
  5. BLASPHEMY! RDR is seriously one of my favorite games of all time. I wish they would make more singleplayer expansions. There is almost nothing I would change about that game.
  6. The Incredibles = greatest Pixar movie ever (after Toy Story). I'm pissed that Cars, the crappiest Pixar movie ever, is getting a sequel instead of The Incredibles.
  7. I'm shocked at how well Kinect is doing, actually, in awareness more so than sales. I was studying with one of my female friends yesterday, and she was looking for a yoga class in the city she's moving to after graduation, and was complaining that they only had old-person yoga and middle-aged-person zumba. I commented offhand that there's a zumba game for Kinect and she goes "Is that that thing where you don't have to use a controller? I want that." This girl has probably never played a video game in her entire life. I bow to MS's marketing.
  8. As long as it's on in time for me to get my bonus content for L.A. Noire I'm good.
  9. Yeah, we use this thread for any new games we come into (legitimate) possession of.
  10. Why? 360 came out in 2005, if they released a follow-up in 2012 that's a 7-year lifespan. That's not especially short.
  11. If it were higher res I'd say you could just take the file to a print shop and have them make one for you.
  12. I'd roll my eyes too but I mostly play FPS on my Xbox. I'll roll my eyes cause I'm not much of a shooter fan either (outside of Halo, which admittedly is a really big plus for Xbox) but I still like my Xbox.
  13. I imagine that's especially true on PS3. The DS3's analog sticks blow for shooters. I mean, I hate the sticks generally, but they make shooters unplayable. So, to make this post about your birthday present less negative: I'm glad you're enjoying your alternate control mechanism.
  14. Alright, so with Hydrophobia: Prophecy coming out soon I thought I'd move this thread over to multiplat, rename it a bit and give it a bump. It looks like there are a lot of awesome improvements for Prophecy over vanilla Hydrophobia, and even over Pure. I'm trying to figure out if those improvements will ever see their way to XBLA though. If not I'm going to be a little upset with DarkEnergy. I bought the XBLA version when it was on sale a while ago but haven't gotten around to playing it yet. Apparently though Prophecy changes the backstory and the ending and such. I don't feel like I'm entitled to all the additional content necessarily, but the changes to the backstory and ending seem like something that will affect how the rest of the games in the series play out. *Edit* - Well I asked DarkEnergy about it on Twitter, and they said they're trying to bring the Prophecy updates to the XBLA version, but it's early in their discussions with MS and they're not sure if it's going to work out or not. At least now I know that if it doesn't come to XBLA it's not DarkEnergy's fault.
  15. Agreed. I spent 12 hours on it. That's more than a lot of $60 games.
  16. Red Dead Redemption: Undead Nightmare I'd forgotten how much I loved RDR. I want more of it.
  17. I also like Desmond/the modern story component. I liked Ezio too, but I am ready to move on, this just makes it feel like the story is stagnating, even if they keep improving the gameplay (I agree Brotherhood was the best so far). And I don't mean that as "they're not developing the story anymore" so much as I mean the manner in which they're developing it is stagnating, which is going to make people lose interest. As for the multiplayer, I thought it was a terribly flawed execution of a wonderful idea. I haven't played it since a few weeks after launch though, so it's possible a lot of the issues I experienced have gotten better.
  18. Yeah, no kidding. I went to the Borders clearance sale here, and even when the blurays were 50% off they were STILL ludicrously overpriced.
  19. I went PS3 because I don't anticipate I'll get anywhere close to all the achievements/trophies, and I don't want to mess up my ratio on 360. This news just vindicates my decision.
  20. Bioware's Christina Norman: http://twitter.com/#!/truffle/status/66325265936171008 So on that note I'm going to join HotChops in the optimistic camp.
  21. Yeah, if I understand the news about that correctly, the reason it uses less power is because they can pack them tighter, which means less wiring running between transistors. In a chip most of the power consumption is due to resistance on the wires between the transistors, so if they can use less wire that means less resistance and lower power usage.
  22. I don't see what PS3 consumers have to do with it being more pro-RPG. PS3 has plenty of brotastic games, and is home of the single most brotastic game ever made: God of War.
  23. This makes me a sad panda. I loved AC2 and I liked Brotherhood even more, but I am fucking sick of Ezio! It's time to move on.
  24. Fucking wonderful. Sony breach, so I switch to LastPass with unique, secure passwords to everything. Now Laspass isn't working so I can't log in to ANYTHING. FML

      LastPass. I actually thought about using it, since I have a lot of passwords.

       

      But then I realized that would be stupid. >_<

       

      It's like putting all your eggs in one basket, and that doesn't really sit well with me.

      Yeah, according to LastPass based on the amount of data transferred they can't have gotten more than the master password/e-mail list, and I've already reset my master password.
