[quote name='linkpwns']Most of you guys should have gotten PMs.
Anyone else who wants to participate in movie night, text or PM me![/QUOTE]

You could hit me up with the link for the movie. Still not sure if I'll actually watch though, I'm not going to work out tonight because I didn't get a lot of sleep and I'm fairly tired (going to do it tomorrow), but I might not stay up too late tonight for that same reason haha (although to be fair you guys probably wouldn't start that late due to my time difference according to ihadFG last night).

Also me and Joel had a super long comic talk last night, haha. That was fun, but I couldn't tell if ihadFG and hank didn't know what to say which was why they were so quite during it, lol.

Oh and whoknows what is your MSN name so I can add you to IM, uraizen sent me a conversation snippet between you two where you were distraught that you don't have a more direct way to talk to me, haha.

Sunday, better find somebody else.
So for one day I don't have to clean up after myself.​
 
Didn't motivate me either. Then again, I don't buy games anymore for multiplayer unless it's a fighter.

The last multiplayer based game I remember buying where I actually gave a shit about the online experience (that, again, wasn't a fighter) was probably MW2.

That said, Dead Space 2 had really cool multi that sucked because the fucking human teams never cooperated and played as a team. Damned randoms.

I don't either, but when I see a half-assed multiplayer mode thrown into a game for no apparent reason I tend to question the quality of the single player content (especially when I was already questioning it to begin with).
 
We all know that DmC will be the action game of the year.

Also the demo for Asura's Wrath was huh? Mash circle, then press R2 when it flashes on your screen! Please die Crapcom.
 
Almost reminded me of Jedi Knight Outcast II, which was a really great multiplayer game involving sword play, guns, and force powers.

But then I saw Ryu fly off a roof.

So mean.... :cry:
 
[quote name='The Crotch']It's been a good week to celebrate.

X-Com remake announced. Refused gets back together. X-Com remake details emerge, and they manage not to say anything stupid.

With all this, I think I owe the universe something. Maybe a bunch of Starcraft players will get in a plane crash. Or Nintendo will disband Intelligent Systems.

But until then? I celebrate.

EDIT: Also, there's a new Jagged Alliance out in, like, a month, but it'll probably suck.[/QUOTE]
You know what would be awesome? New X-Com releases January 2013, world ends in December 2012.

Trolled. :cool:
[quote name='icebeast']Wow, that didn't motivate me at all to get NG3, because I know I'd never play that.[/QUOTE]
NG3 has done an amazing job of scaring me away before I saw this video.

lol Dead Space 2 multiplayer. When I fired that up a few weeks ago, I forgot it had that. I said "Why does this game need MP?" It doesn't.

DmC will be laughably bad. Like I said before, it's nice knowing that DMC2 will no longer be the worst one. That game will have a renaissance.

This is true about most games this gen.

Bioshock 2 MP
Bionic Commando MP
Dark Sector MP
Dead Space 2 MP
Mass Effect 3 MP
Dragon Age 3 MP (prediction)
Dark Void MP
And on and on.

It's like they feel they must include multiplayer in a game, even though it'll be a flavor of the week game that nobody will talk about a week after release, with few exceptions. They are just wasting their time putting in multiplayer IMO. Spend that time making the single player better.
 
i rarely see a correlation between SP and MP qualities to be honest, it's the other way around in just as many cases.

and why must action figures always be put in CEs?
 
[quote name='panzerfaust']i rarely see a correlation between SP and MP qualities to be honest, it's the other way around in just as many cases.[/QUOTE]

It's not always that the SP quality is terrible just because there is bad MP, it is more the fact that you know that they had people working hard on that MP that nobody cares about which could have been making content for the part of the game that players are actually going to see and play.
 
[quote name='The Crotch']Remember Metroid Prime 2?

Anyone?

Alternately, Splinter Cell had some pretty 2legit multiplayer.
[/QUOTE]
lol Metroid Prime 2 MP. Nobody played that shit.

And agreed on Splinter Cell series, especially the co-op. It's a blast.

Yeah, definitely didn't *need* it, but it was surprising well done from what I played of it.
It impressed me more as a game with multiplayer that didn't need it than the Uncharted series ever has.

And I agree about DMC2. Almost makes me excited to revisit it in HD. *ALMOST* :lol:
 
NG3 sucks, Metroid Prime 2 sucks, MP shoehorned into SP focused games suck, etc.

There, that sums up everything I wanted to say.
 
The MP in Bioshock 2 was fairly decent. And the single player was still great. Probably better gameplay wise than the first, story just wasn't as compelling. The Minerva's Den DLC story was probably better than the main game's plot actually.
 
[quote name='panzerfaust']and why must action figures always be put in CEs?[/QUOTE]


You don't understand, there are people that I work with that buy every CE edition that they can get.

This past year one guy alone bought Batman AC collectors, Uncharted 3 CE, Skyrim CE, Dark Souls EU CE edition, MW3 CE, and Deus Ex: HR CE. The laughable part? He hasn't finished any of his games. HE talks as if he beat the game himself, but he just looks at the spoilers in his strategy guides (oh ever CE he buys he buys a guide too). Each time he talks about a game he hasn't finish i try my best to not start laughing.

Meh on NG3, hasn't been the same since NGB. Asura's Wrath is shit. Not every game needs a MP, co-op within SP is cool, but MP is always a meh. While some might be enjoyable, I can't commit hours to learning/leveling my shit (Looking at you AC series).

This is why DotA 2 is the shit. All your leveling is done in the 40-70 minutes of gameplay. The in-game experience is what counts, not the total time you put into a game.

I played enough UN CHARTED 2 MP to know that I don't need to waste my time on it. ^__^

Can't wait to break out the Diesel jeans in DMC2 HD. :bouncy: Press circle and roll around the whole damn place. Rocket launcher tanks and helicopters. Beat up Evil Burt Reynolds as he sits on his desk and does nothing. Decipher the goofy ass plot. And just in general take solace in the fact that DMC2 HD will be 60 FPS and better than DmC.

[quote name='whoknows']I liked playing Sigma 2 online...[/QUOTE]

I liked what I got to play of it -- I still have the game if you have it and would like to play sometime.
 
[quote name='panzerfaust']Dead Space 2 for free, yay. Didn't know the $5 holiday credit thing existed.[/QUOTE]

Explain this in detail.
 
I guess if you bought something in December you get $5 credit towards a digital purchase? And Dead Space 2 was only $5.

I don't know, the promotional code was in my email though. Amazon, btw.

Nope didn't buy anything from Amazon.

Sad part is that he doesn't have money. He complains about not making rent all the time, I wonder why...

I have an acquaintance who is like that. Buys tons of video games then can't pay his bills. Budgets, how do they work?

[quote name='distgfx']Hopefully in Chac's account.[/QUOTE]Not there either. Yet, at least.

Must be around somewhere. I know it's not between Gargus' eyes, since he's not the last one banned.

Probably some random spammer had it lodged between his eyes.

I'd be down for that. I just need to play through again to unlock the other three characters since I lost my save when my first ps3 died.
 
There haven't really been any stand-out threads for me this year.

I feel like bumping the pedophile landlord thread and nominating it again.
