I thought you left here

Since when? Aha.

I'm on Bnet more because 1) I actually play Destiny, and 2) they have a more user friendly app.

I just don't live at home during the week. I'm only home on weekends to access my computer.

11 years ago? Yeah, you're right.


1 had some good features but 2 was better.

I have to say Battlefront 3 is about the only game I'm super hyped for in 2015.

Don't get your hopes up. 9/11 chance that they're going to dudebro the fuck out of it.
Previews show that they're doing it right

What previews? That 10 second clip we got at E3?

IS THERE FOOTAGE THAT I HAVEN'T SEEN YET?!

I think the best time to start playing video games is when you can read... because at that point, you have the ability to comprehend symbols and can begin to understand BASIC motives of characters and grasp stories over a long period of time.

Also, you can play games like Pokemon and understand what's going on.

So, light platformers like Crash Bandicoot and Spyro are what I would want my child to play after they learn to read, as well as Pokemon Red and Blue.

It wouldn't be until they were 8 or 9 that I would sit down and play games like Halo CE, MGS, etc.

If you honestly think a child could enjoy, let alone comprehend, a game like Halo 1, Mass Effect or any other somewhat complex game, you're out of your tree. This is where I call bullshit on the fact that you've been playing these kinds of games since you were 4.

I mean, unless you're some kind of super-mature, 170+ IQ mastermind. Which is evidently not the case.
srsly
my 4 y/o nephew asked if he can play my alpha sapphire, and then I told him he was too stupid to be able to play

he looked like he was about to cry afterwards

That's what I tell my niece. Maybe not as blunt as "you're too stupid", though. Aha.

She says she wants to play Halo or Pokemon with me. I tell her I'll let her play if she learns to read (which she doesn't want to).
I'm only mean to him because he literally does whatever he can to annoy me and make me want to kill myself, which is why I love the days when he goes to his grandma's house. He also has a shitty attitude when he doesn't get what he want. He kicked me in the face once because I didn't let him play xbox with me( I don't know why he was so pissed, I have never let him use it), let's just say my right hand paid a visit to his left cheek afterwards.

Aha, then yes. He's definitely deserving an ass whooping.

I was thinking about it the other day. The sense of awe I had when I first go into the tower was never replicated in the Beta or full release. There was just a different vibe in the alpha.

He reminds me of Logfish from Bnet. Both people are Xbox fanboys and they both post retarded things supporting Xbox. The difference though is that Logfish may be simply baiting, but this kid seems serous.

Logfish is actually quite intelligent, at least, from a writing perspective. His posts are always well-written and backed up by evidence.

This kid is just full-on retarded.

I haven't played any of the games since I was 12 and I sold my copy of Pearl after playing it for three hours. I had the most hours by far in Emerald. As such, I know nothing about all this stuff like IVs, EVs, online battling/trading, mega evolutions, etc.

Can someone fill me in so I'll be all set when I get OR in a few days?

You'll be fine. These games are catered to children, you'll pick it up instantly.

IVs, EVs, etc. are only for the competitive community, which takes about roughly 5% of the Pokemon fanbase (if that).

"Boo-hoo I don't like Xbox so i'll repeat a silly complaint of PS fanboys over and over"
How does find the UI to be bad make the person a "PS3 fanboy"? If anybody is a fanyboy it's the person with that retarded logic.
Quote
The UI is very functional and easy to navigate
How is something with this many steps easy to navigate?
Quote
1.Start from Home (press the Xbox button on your controller to go Home).
2.Go to My games and apps.
3.Highlight the content that you want to uninstall.
4.Press the Menu button on your controller.
5.Select Manage Game or Manage App.
6.Press the Menu button on your controller again.
7.Select Uninstall.
With the 360 all you had to do was go to the storage area, choose the section for memory, select the game and delete it. It is straight forward as hell. With the Xbone it's just a confusing mess. It's sad that I had to go onto YouTube just to find out how to do that. With the 360 I didn't because the UI for that was smartly planned out. Also with the 360 checking your messages or friends list is a hell of a lot easier and faster.
1. There is a memory section in settings on the X1
2. Not my fault you are incapable of exploring a very, very simple OS
3. I agree with you on messages, there should be a proper inbox easily available, although you can find all your messages in friends
4. The friends list has a whole section, which is updated and can be clicked to immediately access the app, easy as fuck. Or using Kinect...
5. The faster element is null for me, I just use Kinect, so the new OS is very fast for me

Man, just shut the fuck up. You're talking out of your ass now.

It's not my type of game. It feels clunky sometimes in it's game mechanics, Uncharted 3 had this problem too, but it's story holds it up a lot.

8/10. Had fun playing it. Probably won't play it again.

I'm the exact opposite. I loathe the Uncharted series, and seriously don't understand the hype around it. It's gameplay is boring. It goes from puzzle, to shoot-em-up room, to platform, to puzzle, and on, and on, and on. And the story isn't all that great, either. Every single game has the same kind of ending.

Whereas TLOU has worse gameplay mechanics, but more fun gameplay. The pacing of walking around and searching for supplies and the the random enemy group or clicker crowd flows nicely. The story is also unarguably a masterpiece.

I play on Xbox so I've only ever watched playthroughs of it. However the story is fantastic. The gameplay looks a bit average to be honest then again I haven't played it. I'd like to know what your opinion is on The Walking Dead game? I thought the story was a lot more effective then Tlou's but they're both good in each respect.

To be honest, I've never played TWD. I generally stay away from the zombie genre, as I see that it's pretty played out. The only reason I picked up TLOU was because ND has always made some of my favourite games (aside from Uncharted, which I really can't enjoy for some reason).

If someone bought it for me, I'd probably play it for an hour and see if I liked it. But other than that, I don't see myself playing it.

Honestly one of my most favourite games.

The apocalypse end of civilization story itself isn't a masterpiece, but the way it's told and how the characters develop is what makes it what it is.

Exactly. Were it not for the AI, I'd argue this game is flawless.
Ellie's and Tess' AI were pretty rubbish. The fact that enemies wouldn't detect them unless you've been detected yourself is annoying.

Look at this, though.

http://youtu.be/kbLOokeC3VU?t=3m28s

Look how the enemy knows when you're mag is empty. Or how they flank you and try to blindside you.

Obviously it's a demo, so it's supposed to look pretty for marketing purposes. But I remember reading somewhere that the AI was even more advanced than this and it was cut because it was too hard. It's just a shame.

« on: December 29, 2014, 12:24:26 AM »
I just posted this on a YouTube comment section where many people were talking about how the game was "average at best", blah, blah, blah. You've heard it all before.

It's one of my favourite games of all time, and would enjoy a debate about it.

Anyways, here it is:

Spoiler
Ignoring the story (which is unarguably, a masterpiece), the gameplay is also great. It's not on the same level as the story, but it doesn't hinder the experience in any way. The problem with this game is that it NEEDS to be played on the higher difficulties. When I first picked this up for my PS4, I played it on the easiest difficulty (I used to play games out-the-box on their hardest difficulty, but stopped after Uncharted. I felt it ruined the experience for me.) I beat it within 8 hours, and had to admit, the game was over-hyped and average at best. But, me, being the trophy hunter I am, decided to try the hardest difficulty.

And the experience changed completely.

Suddenly, death was meaningful and often times, brutally punishing. You could last through 3 waves of Clickers or runners, managing your various supplies and 3 bullets for your magnum, and then suddenly forget about the one wounded enemy you thought you finished off earlier, which makes you start off all the way from the beginning. You had to carefully choose when to shoot a round and when to toss a brick. It is a carefully crafted, intricate survival system that, if taken out of the game, actually degrades the overall product.

Same goes for the cover system. While a traditional system might've helped some players enjoy the game more (initially), I think having the current system helps the game break out from the conventions of it's genre and deliver the experience ND wanted to.


Truthfully, the only complaint I would consider valid is the AI, both enemy and ally. It is straight-up, RETARDED. This is disheartening, consider the E3 trailer showed off incredibly intelligent AI that would've made this already difficult game on a whole other level. But I don't need to harp on that, Dunkey already demonstrated what I'm talking about.

This is just my two cents. Take it or leave it, I'd love to have a discussion if your opinion differs.

I'm pretty sure that's not even possible, and that wouldn't even make any sense. They call it the Master Chief collection for a reason, it isn't meant to be every fucking Halo game together.

ODST remastered


Your argument is invalid
ODST is not being remastered. It's simply a 1080p 60fps port.

The Last of Us remastered would like a word with you.
That got more than a resolution and framerate bump.
Like what?
Textures, draw distance, shadows, and improved character models.

Okay, I still don't think that's enough to constitute the "remastered" title.

Besides, I'm pretty sure those things were only tweaked slightly, and that they were used for more marketing purposes and justifying a $60 price point.

It's obvious that Destiny was planned to be more, but that something happened to it about a year before release.

It's actually quite depressing, considering the game that Destiny could've been (and apparently, was, in 2013).

I'm not trying to move blame from Bungie to Activision or vice-versa. But you'd be stupid to think that this (Destiny, in it's current state) is the game Bungie (including Staten and Jones) have been dreaming about since 2004.

Just my two cents.
