LET'S ARGUE ABOUT VIDEO GAMES

[k0k0]

One of the things I really hate about it is that during E3 and other game conferences when I'm hoping to hear cool game announcements, I only get to hear half game announcement and half kinectathon from Microsoft. Another is that I'm almost positive that it is the reason Mass Effect 3 got pushed back. The day that Mass Effect 3 got thrown back to next year, they announce 'but it'll be coming with kinect specific features'. Not cool.

I thought you weren't fat anymore.

But it really is fun when you're in the mood for it, especially Dance Central. It's fun for the same reason karaoke is fun. We packed that tiny apartment living room with people one night and got our freak on.

And yeah, I'd be perfectly fine not having one, but I would've been losing an opportunity for no reason.

It isn't $150 of fun, though, (yet.) I bought it used, so it was all good. :O

[Zomboid]

I'm not fat, but I still don't want to have to do that shit to play a video game. I can see it being fun for a little bit with a bunch of people, but even then, I think I'd prefer Mortal Kombat and controllers.

[Fathom Zero]

How is Mortal Kombat, by the way? I've heard lots of gooood things.

[Zomboid]

It's way more fun than I expected it to be. I played the shit out of the single player (still do), and it gets played every time friends are over. The extra characters and "klassic kostumes" are just bonuses. It's a waaaay better fighter than you'd expect from the series, even, so it's not just nostalgia talking.

I really enjoyed it when I bought it, and my family still enjoys it at get togethers. (Not counting that time I got chewed out by some old religious woman) but I could really care less about these DLC characters. They're just kinda uninteresting to me. I mean I like having Rain in the game since he kinda completes the UMK3 roster, but he's so boring.

I was still on the fence about this game to be honest. I always thought the MK series was a one trick pony but I keep hearing good things from too many people about this new one. I may have to give it at least a rent

[The Nun Eater]

It has one of the most interesting stories of any fighting game I have ever player. It provides background for all the classic MK characters and does a decent job of keeping you interested enough to finish the lengthy campaign. As far as the fighting goes, it feel just the same as Mortal Kombat 3 so it familiar but with slight changes.

It's fun to play if you enjoyed the old ones. Not to mention they ramped the violence up to 11 and thats never really a bad thing.

[Nick]

The story mode in Mortal Kombat is fantastic. It was totally the high point of the game for me.

[Shyandquietguy]

Holy shit, I just discovered you can use runes to alter your abilities in Diablo 3!

Damn computer, you and a lack of a recent console are your fault for making me lose interest in games. (

[Fathom Zero]

I'm kinda psyched for Diablo 3, even having only played the others for about ten minutes.

[k0k0]

I'm more excited about Borderlands 2 than Diablo 3, even though it's further away in release.

[Grislygus]

I am AMPED for diablo 3, it'll be the first real game I've played in a long damn time, played the living hell out of diablo 2 as a kid

[k0k0]

I can't wrap my brain around the world of warcraft looking graphics. And nothing I've seen looks too hellish. I do think it's funny that they're making it so that you can sell your loot to other players for real cash.

[Grislygus]

As irritated as I am at the new generic crapfest art direction, I do enjoy the fact the the graphics look like a game made in the current decade this time around

I wish people would stop with that stupidity. You're just parroting lame bullshit.

[k0k0]

I'm not parroting shit. First thing I thought when I saw how it looked was, "looks like wow"

[Grislygus]

What are you talking about, the art is headed by a freaking warhammer 40k guy, gigantic shoulderpads up the ass as far as I can tell. It's not going to affect gameplay or the story at all, but I'll agree with him on that count

psyched that Fallout people are in environment and map design, though

[Fathom Zero]

nerts to you, too, then

I fail to see how



looks anything like the rainbow lollipop land that is World of Warcraft. If anything, I'll grant you that it looks a bit similar to Warcraft 3, but even that color palette is too much.

[k0k0]

I didn't know the fallout people were doing the environment and map stuff. Color my interest renewed. I do hope that since they are forbidding modding that they at least put in a map editor. So it doesn't ruin the game they can make it to where you have to use a new character for the edited maps.

[Grislygus]

fathom, the problem is with the core drawings, not the colors

The angels look the same, but that's about it

[Fathom Zero]

I could give a shit about those. Don't like them, like them, whatever. I've just seen so many people whinging about the colors and making stupid things like this:



I WANT YESTERDAY BECAUSE YESTERDAY I KNOW AND TODAY IS NEW

[k0k0]

So the design looks nothing like wow.

And yeah, I'm one of the people who likes the darker, grittier look.

[Fathom Zero]

Whatever, I'll be playing Twisted Metal for the next sixteen months, anyway. Diablo sucks.

[Grislygus]

jesus, put that thing in a spoiler tag

Yes, people are stupid and bitch about everything not being 150% darkmurkgloom. MY problem isn't that, I like the improvement from everything looking the fuckdamn same in the previous two games. MY problem is that the character designs look like Dungeon Siege drawn by the warhammer people
