I'm just glad a good cowboy game is coming out... been a while.


EDIT: wait, what? people are bitching about animal rights in a video game? wtf? virtual animals? plus on top of that people want to cover up historical fact that it happened??? wow, new low.
 
Naw, not animal rights...it's just one person's opinion of that particular content of the game (and IIRC that person works with animals for a living). I think everyone else (myself included) is fine with it, particularly since it's an optional, ancillary part of the game.
 
I haven't seen anything more in this thread than someone saying they won't play the game because of it--I can respect that.

I haven't read the full thread on the topic to see if it delves more into animal rights, calling for boycotts of the game etc.

That kind of stuff I don't like, as it delves into forcing morals on others by wanting games changes, banned etc..

But I have no problems with someone just saying they personally won't play a game because something in it offends them.
 
I thought Bioshock was okay. Great atmosphere and a decent story. Crappy ending. The combat wasn't perfect but it wasn't broken or anything. I bought the PS3 version last year for $15 and felt I got my moneys worth.

Since Tales of the Abyss has a problem playing on a backwards compat PS3 (freezes up when u enter a certain dungeon) I'm turning back to Nocturne and trying to make a run to complete that within the next couple weeks. Been playing it off and on for about a year now and I'm about 3/4ths done.

Also, finally picked up Digital Devil Saga 2, so I'm kinda anxious to dig into that series when I'm done with Nocturne. Any news on a new SMT game coming to current-gen consoles?
 
The thread is just about somebody thinking that skinning animals, including puppies, in the wild west isn't protected by freedom of speech. Unless there's some unknown context, there's no reason it wouldn't be protected.
 
Naw, there's nothing more to it than one person having an issue with that one particular part of the game. That's their opinion, and it doesn't bother me.
 
Skinning in Red Dead Redemption is a way to earn money for various purposes of the game. You don't have to do it. I suppose you'll be picking flowers and selling them then, Preston.
 
[quote name='RelentlessRolento']Still it's a far out there subject in terms of concern.[/QUOTE]

Everyone has things that bother them. I don't see not wanting something someone sees as animal cruelty in a game they play to be far out there personally.

As long as they aren't campaigning to get the game banned etc., who cares what someone else finds offensive?
 
I wonder what western developer Capcom has picked for one of their existing IP's? It sounds pretty risky given the reaction I heard about it.
 
the rumor is ninja theory doing DMC5. which really, really sucks. *cue guy who's like "nah man, Heavenly Sword was, like, pretty okay. The facial animation was teh shit."* and my response: SHUT UP, NO!
 
[quote name='Jesus_S_Preston']I'll be not playing, I had no interest in the game before or after PuppySkinGate.[/QUOTE]



The flower thing? I wasn't talking about Red Dead for you, mate. :cool:
 
Gah, can't wait for some RDR action. And I also think skinning puppies is messed up, but I have not seen it yet. So i'm going to hold out on my judgement.
 
[quote name='ninja dog']the rumor is ninja theory doing DMC5. which really, really sucks. *cue guy who's like "nah man, Heavenly Sword was, like, pretty okay. The facial animation was teh shit."* and my response: SHUT UP, NO![/QUOTE]

They couldn't get 30fps on Heavenly Sword on PS3. What would make Capcom think they could get locked 60fps on both consoles? Ninja Theory isn't exactly what I'd call a quality developer. Heck, I wouldn't call them average either.
 
holy shit? A developer actually using graphics power for good use? fuck yeah!

Surprised I havent heard anything about it.
 
Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light looks pretty awesome.

I was playing Torchlight today and thought it would be awesome if ARPGs were a little bit more than just pointing, clicking, and equipping things that had higher numbers attached to them than other things. If that tomb raider game had ARPG elements, it would probably be a huge hit.
 
Lol, Good Burger I remember you!!

Btw, about the whole RDR thing, I'm not advocating or saying the game should be banned, I was simply stating my opinion that I will not be playing the game because it contains that particular part.


On another note, Kingdom Hearts Birth By Sleep finally has a summer release date :D
 
Gamestop hooked me up. I worked there once is why, but they were closed and still let me in and gave me RDR special edition even without me pre-ording it. I had store credit, so it was only 40.00. I also picked up Alan Wake at walmart because that free extra odst gave me credit, so that was free.
 
My RDR plan is to head over to TRU at lunch, and hope they still have copies at 11:50.

I'll use the gift card later (if I'm in the area of a TRU 6 hours after that) or tomorrow on Alan Wake.
 
I'm seriously thinking about getting an iPad.. I feel weird for it because I haven't ever really felt so compelled to get a new piece of tech that wasn't a game console.

Also, my backlog is killing me. Trying to whittle it down by playing Ninja Blade now, but Borderlands and Peggle keep getting in the way.
 
I love my iPad. It seriously is the perfect tool for anyone in grad school.

I've already convinced 4 other MS students to get one.
 
So my copy of RDR is on it's way from Amazon, I refuse to skin animals though and will instead skin only humans.

Morally, that's the right thing to do.
 
Put a few more hours into Fallout 3 last night doing a couple main game side quests and main story quests.

Main story is at the Water of Life quest, so I'll put it on hold and focus on some other quests/dlc as some tips I read suggested doing so as apparently finishing that quest triggers respawns or tougher enemy spawns etc.
 
Curse you blockbuster and your glitchiness - B1G1 50 percent off is ringing up as just plain 50 percent off. Re-bought Brutal Legend and RE5, and got Dark Void and Scribblenauts for 35 and tax.
 
Dont hate on One Tree Hill, it's my favorite show. Brooke Davis FTW.


Started God of War III last night, and I'm liking it much better than the previous two installments.
I miss Athena.

Brooke is kind of a bitch. No Lucas no watch.
 
Finished The Lost and Damned - you guys were right, Assault Shotgun is amazing, kills things dead, regardless of distance or cover :D
 
Well I got Split Second in the mail today, red dead is in the mail, and just ordered Alan Wake. Shit!

Only paid for Split/Second, rest is credit. Nice 25% off on gamestop.com.
 
Picked up Read Dead at TRU (had $60 GC from january). Played about an hour of it so far. Hasn't really grabbed me yet. Gun play is much better than typical rockstar.
