Things That Don't Bother You About Gaming

[Spark Of Spirit]

Wait, I thought you bought Nier last year and said it was good but not for everyone? Maybe I'm confusing you with someone else...

I did, I haven't played much, though. It seemed pretty cool from what I played.

*Looks up KARA out of curiousity*

So what is Kara ? As far as we know, it can look after house, do the cooking, mind the kids, organise your appointments, speak 300 langages, and remain entirely at your disposal as a sexual partner...

...

FUCK YOU DAVID CAGE FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU

THERE'S THE DOOR

GET OUT

Skynet is not just a dream.

That KARA thing is bad and David Cage should feel bad about it. Why do we get this shit while Suda51's classic adventure games remain untranslated?

[Rynnec]

Okay, false alarm guys. The whole thing is actually just a tech demo for some sort of new technology Cage's company is using that's able to record face and body movements simultaneously with the actors voice. So don't worry, it's not a glorified sex toy...I think.

[Kiddington]

...but the intention was there.

And that's bad enough.

Thank god, I was ready to smash all my consoles and graphics card just to ensure that I would never come into contact with it.

Oh, no doubt about that. It really speaks volumes about Cage's state of mind. Judging from that short film, he's either a really sucessful loser nerd who can't get laid to save his life, or a pretentious douche.

Just got a free copy of LA Noire for pre-ordering Max Payne 3 on Steam.

I fucking love Rockstar now. $40 worth of free games for pre-ordering a new one... amazing. This totally makes up for the delay.

THQ might be getting a second wind!

[Dr. Ensatsu-ken]

Too bad this still doesn't do shit for Devil's Third. Either way that project is screwed unless another publisher picks it up.

THQ might be getting a second wind!

Mr. Rubin is acknowledged as one of the leading business and creative forces in the video game industry. He co-founded Naughty Dog, one of the industry's most successful and critically acclaimed game developers.

All I needed to hear.

iPhone aside: this.

I know some folks here would agree with this!

[Dr. Ensatsu-ken]

My favorite sports games are Mario Tennis (for the N64) and Sega Soccer Slam (a really underrated gem of a game). Well, if you count skating games then I also liked SSX Tricky, Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 (1 and 2 were good, but I liked 3 the best), and Aggressive Inline. Splash Down was also a good game. Oh yeah, and I also really liked NBA Street Volume 2 back in the day.

Oh yeah, and there's also the Mario Kart games which are about the only racing games that I really enjoy.

[Spark Of Spirit]

You should try Outrun some time (especially Outrun 2 and it's spin offs), that game is just class.

But I do agree that older sports games were better a sa whole because they were more arcade-inspired and less simulation they are now. You didn't have to be a basketball fan to play NBA Jam, and Hockey fan to play Mutant League, a football fan to play NFL Blitz, a skating fan to like THPS, or a racing fan to play Mario Kart or Road Rash.

Nowadays, it's like it's aimed only at the superfans of each sport instead of everybody like they used to be.
