there's a demo on psn right now

They finally dropped the subscription fees for Secret World, but they still want you to buy the game itself. What is with those guys?

well the game didn't even lasted a year with subscriptions they need to pay them bills

They're supposed to run it like all the other new MMOs that have subscriptions:

1. Start with a retail game and a subscription.
2. Struggle.
3. Struggle.
4. Go Free 2 Play.
5. Struggle.
6. Release new content.
7. Fold.

you forgot the first step

copy formulas of all other games ever made and release the game with only 20% of the content its supposed to have

don't tell me how to run my life.png

how come noone is buying my shitty dota 2 chests

because they're shitty

:lol

Look at that fucking thing she's wearing. LOOK AT IT!

That's legitimately the first Tetsuya Nomura character design that had me laughing out loud. That shit is a popped dracula collar, two halves of a skirt and two halves of a cape, gothic black leather shoulder pads tapering down into opera gloves, and a backless corset... thing. If you got rid of the non-leather parts of that outfit it'd be something from fucking Aeon Flux. Not to mention it's clipping into itself during that initial closeup. Fucking classy.

What really set me off though was the fucking sunglasses at the end. There are no words. Nomura's got to be just taking the piss out of himself at this point, there's no way he isn't.

i don't get it why so much footage of her walking and doing thosse scripted jumps, even goes to triple camera

are they scripted?

i thought they were trying to show off that it was moreofanaction rpg like tales of series

they look like the ones from the first ff13 but now that i look at the trailer i think they were trying to show of the city or town she was in

lol
that city was bad

Squarenix making another FFXIII sequel baffles me. A quick google search and I find FFXIII-2 didn't sell so great and yet here's another one. Why? And let's not forget another one is in the works, Final Fantasy Versus XIII, which is still being developed.

What is their angle?

I'm probably going to buy my friend's Xbox 360. All he has is Halo and some Banjo Kazooie racing game, which I don't want. Name some great games and keep in mind that I'm a friendless shut-in so multiplayer is unacceptable.

xbox 360 exclusives only or are pc and ps3 multiplatforms ok too?

Shadow Complex was a fun Metroidvania-style game on XBLA.

Guwange.

Splosion Man.

SOTN

Did you know that game was actually based on a book?

Weird stuff.

UNO

miner dig deep

FUCKING HELL

spelunky and dust an elysian tale come to mind

Forza is a good game...

Although I don't know what games you're into.

Way to let me down big time Caricage

TALES OF VESPARiA

Dead Rising.

Red Dead Redemption and Skyrim would definitely keep you busy for a while. Also, GTA 5 comes out soon enough.

mass effect and beautiful katamari are good too

what kind of games do you even like

Spelunky. Super Meat Boy.

Xbox games hopefully!

Milhouse, you're such a disease.

buy chojins game lol

its got cheeseburgers

Chojin's game involves riding a bike, right?

Who needs video games about riding a bike when I've got a bike.

jesus

it's not bike riding at least i don't think so

its not a bike its thatthing xavier rides in the xmen cartoon

CHOJIN DOES WHAT NINTENDON'T

not that one the one he made for xbla and had this weird green backgrounds

this one

I completely forgot about that whole thing until Hadas linked to that other video. The music in that video is so annoying. My stars!

That reminds me of Joust.

Only more generic, devoid of entertainment, and easier.

So DmC came out. Its sales in America and Japan are dismal, yet despite everyone saying how awful it is every gaming publication and news site has given it a 8 or 9/10.

how do you know the sales are bad?

peeped some of the numbers over at one of them fancy image boards.

Why should I give a fuck about what video game fanatics say? They're like the sports douchebags that complain about fairweather fans.

I suppose you shouldn't, but when it comes to a shit-tastic game like DmC who everyone said would be horrible and bomb turns out to be horrible and bombs, it's funny as shit.

i love the fact that they are selling a classic dante skin

Yeah, apparently they still think that the reason people don't like it is because of how Dante looks. The reason normal gamers don't like it is because it's a piss-poor and short action game with an even shorter story, most of which is stolen from THEY LIVE! The hardcore DMC fans don't like it because it just absolutely shits on everything that the series was about.

Them putting that skin how shows just how worried they are since the game directer (Taneem) said before that the reason they didn't go with Old Dante's design was because he was too "outdated and old" of course then they put a skin from The Crow in it showing they don't give a shit how outdated something is right after.

Imma rent it, I gotta play this train wreck for myself.

so that's where super dante comes from i knew he looked familiar

Nah, his Neo Dante skin is exactly like the Crow's outfit. They changed out it looked before it came out, though. Early screenshots of it show him looking exactly like the Crow. For the final release they turned all the wraps red and made his hair blond.

Also I found some proof.

Jesus Christ.

when i actually checked the amazon links, the new dmc was nowhere to be found

Yeah, it's completely off the list now. Damn, knocked from 50 to past 100 in a day. That's a bad feel.

i just don't get it, when they announced dmc 4 and people cried about nero being the main character capcom said the same thing about it "we need a new character to not alienate new players" and now for some reason noone gives a crap about nero and they just decided to make a new dante for the same reasons they made nero

People actually love DMC4 now, the only problem they have with it is that Capcom rushed it out the door so Dante's half of the game was cut. They gave Ninja Theory DmC to reboot because they wanted to dumb it down and get the COD audience.

Other words Capcom just wants to fuck all its franchises in the ass.

Im more surprised a conversation about dmc has lasted this long.

Nothing new has come out besides that, huh? Ni no Kuni comes out tomorrow. I can't wait.

i wanted anarchy reigns but there isn't a copy in my town so i'm waiting for god of war ascencion
i know we decided not to talk about dmc but this is freaking gold https://petitions.whitehouse.gov/pet...elves/4sd9LD6P

I've heard bad things abut Anarchy Reigns. I'd just rent it and wait for Metal Gear Rising.

Conversely, I've heard nothing but good things about Anarchy Reigns from people with the same taste as me.

For a beat 'em up that focuses mainly on multiplayer, I'd definitely not plop down $60 on it. At least rent it first.

Except that it's $30.

i loved the japanese demo now i need to find a copy

Played the Metal Gear Rising demo today. S'alright. Still need to figure out how to parry and block well, though.

Is it just me or do the commercials for Aliens: Colonial Marines look like total shit?

Don't know if this has been brought up before...but figured I'd throw it out there

Yeah, they turned it into a CoD with Aliens and tacked a watered down L4D multiplayer on it.

Colonial Marines is one of the greatest cluster fucks of modern gaming. It was in development "by gearbox software" for almost the entire time they produced Borderlands 1 and 2, and apparently much of the game was outsourced to different companies. Then when it came time for Gearbox to hammer all these outsourced assets together, none of it worked.

Xbox One, not to be confused with the Xbox 1, the only iteration that was actually worth owning.
Anyway cool cable box guys, where's that game console you said you were bringing out? :lol

Seriously though, it's like Microsoft saw everything wrong with the games industry and went "Oh man, I wonder if we could just compact this all into a fucking singularity, then sell it!" It's always online, it will not function without Kinect, and it requires you to pay fees for used games. And by "fees" I mean "the full retail price of the game." If you want to bring a copy of a game over to a friend's house you have to pay the price of the game again to be able to play it on their console. I just... why? Why would you do that? You're going to lose at least twice as much money from the lack of anyone buying this stupid fucking shit than you'd lose from used game sales. Holy fuck.

PS4 doesn't look so bad anymore, does it? I mean, it still looks like shit, but I know which of the two I'd get if forced to at gunpoint.

I've also been told that you can turn the thing on with voice commands. Does that mean Kinect is always listening to you? Is the camera always on? Is Bill Gates the Big Brother of IRL??? :o

Xbox One is a dumb name first off. Like, Wii U dumb.

I'm totally done buying anything labeled Xbox, Since they first came out I went through two Xboxes and three 360s. I can't imagine the new one (ha) to be a well built machine.

Anyhoozle, I'm tired of all these "gaming" consoles that seem to have games the least important aspect of them. Seriously, who wants to watch TV through their console? Is it just some type of ploy to make sure you never turn off your Xbox?

The always online has been debunked... sort of. Sure, you don't need to be online all the time, but if you aren't you will miss out on updates and such that might keep you from playing games. Oh, and those updates? Yeah, they might be an every day occurrence. My PC doesn't even update that often.

The used game fee, no matter what the price you'll eventually have to pay, is bullshit. Gamestop's prices for some used games are bad enough, (Oh, only $54.99, HOLY SHIT, THE SAVINGS!) but to have another amount to pay on top of that is just bananas. Also, the not being able to play at a friend's house thing has been given an answer...
From Gamespot:
'Earlier today, a Wired report claimed the Xbox One would require secondhand users pay a fee to play used games. Hryb did not deny this in his statement today, saying only that there will be no fee for those who play their games at a friend's house, provided they sign in to their profile.
"Another piece of clarification around playing games at a friend's house--should you choose to play your game at your friend's house, there is no fee to play that game while you are signed in to your profile," he said'



To be signed into your profile requires you to be online of course.


Lastly, none of the announced games so far look that great to me. It's all just the same shit we already have, but prettier. I guess the same argument could have been made going from PS2-PS3 and Xbox-360 though.


I'm probably just going to be a hypocrite and will end up buying one anyway when something I want to play will come out for it exclusively, but I really hope that shit doesn't happen...

PC gaming is where its at. :\

I want to buy a new console, but Sony and Microsoft don't want me to :(

To be fair, I haven't touched my PS3 since Persona 4 Arena came out, and I haven't touched my Wii U since the Rayman Challenge levels first came out.

The console market is charging head-first into a market crash, and I'm not sure anyone knows what to do about it. To its credit, the XB1's unveil was better than the 360's, and it's the only one that seems to really understand living room integration. But I feel like the CoD audience can't support either console on its own, and the Wii U just doesn't have a pulse at all.

People who actually care about games have a PC, and maybe a 3DS. Consoles are more for the general audience, who's getting its gaming fix through tablets and phones and facebook.

EDIT: As for used games, I don't really care. Right now I have the income to buy new games (or wait for Steam sales). When I was in high school, though, I practically lived off of used games, so I'm bummed there's going to be kids at that age who can't scrap together money for a nicotine-laden Devil May Cry, or trading games with some weird dude in the parking lot who probably deals drugs but is the only guy in 20 miles who has a copy of Disgaea so you trusted him anyways and ended up at a creepy part of town you never new existed trying to find the game in a stranger's apartment under stacks of porn and The Boston Phoenix.

So it's a bummer to see that go away.

In high school I was a drug dealer who also sold games. :\

did you guys notice that the xbox one can also be used as a watercooler?

i think you'll all be saving money on watercoolers in the future

also the tv thing isn't so bad does it mean that microsoft is becoming its own broadcasting station? so like internet tv instead of regular tv?
but yea i still dont really buy xboxes for television i guess.

so does anybody else want to talk more about really dumb ideas?

my outrage at the videogame industry keeps me busy

honestly the most use im gonna get out of this xbox one is being outraged about it

Shut up and log onto league. Im tired of playing with so many ass hats. >:

im tired of playing with random hispanics

i dunno if its because the internet and videogames are new to the third world, but man they are horrible. if they dont feed or play horribly then they just troll all game

I shall stick to PC

It's got to be awesome to be Microsoft. They really just don't give a fuck.

It's about goddamn time, Capcom.

I'm excited to see it's a side scroller and it's has elements from the arcade games and the NES game... but still, I don't know what to think about it yet. Capcom has gotten really good at taking the things I love and shitting all over them. Then again, it's a new Strider game that I've been waiting 13 years for.

I'm getting a ps4. I don't want microsoft to take spy pictures of me with my dick out.

Same.

Also, you won't have to worry about kids or "dude-bros" skyping you their junk in the middle of a game, instead of just calling you a racial epithet and/or a faggot.

PSN: cdun136

Bloodborne is great.

IT'S STILL GREAT GUYS

Agreed.
