Shifty1001 commented on: Videogames versus the real world - final round! |
|
| Superwes, stop acting like you don't find Nariko hotter than Paris Hilton. Why does it mean I play too many videogames if I think a "well-rendered" (if you know what I mean) videogame chick is hotter than an under-rendered and probably-legally-retarded real chick? Nevermind, this is probably the same person who insists he sucks at games because he's always out "playing sports" or "talking to females". |

Shifty1001 commented on: WARNING: Far Cry 2 is still a broken game |
|
| Okay okay I was totally content with staying out of this one, until I read magicwalnuts0's comment. "There's no proof here"?? Seriously? Did you read the article? Not only is there proof, there is WELL-DOCUMENTED proof. It's not like this is some elaborate internet hoax; April Fools Day is long past. There are many people who have experienced these same bugs. And I'm sorry, but did you actually say that this article is half assed because GR didn't track down the nature of the bugs? Shane and Matt aren't game testers. Why should they do Ubisoft's job? Here, let me use a car analogy, since they seem to be so popular: One of the tires on your car magically flies off while driving. According to your logic, you can't be upset about it, nor can you report it to the car company, until you stick it back on and drive around multiple times until you can make it fly off again. No. You lose. Good work, GR. I'll be following this article over the next little while to see how it works out. I was thinking about getting back into FC2, until I read this. |

Shifty1001 commented on: How not to be a total jerk online in SFIV |
|
| @ GreyGhost: People like you are the worst in any and all online games. Far, far worse than those who know what they're doing is pure bologna. Something being in the game does not stop it from being cheap. The Spam-Throw is the new CoD4 Martyrdom. Anything that takes a grand total of ZERO skill to use (*cough cough* Martyrdom *cough*), but gives you an advantage is, by very definition, cheap. And anyone that claims that Martyrdom isn't cheap either hasn't thought about it enough or relies upon it. Anyway, back to Street Fighter. Fun game, though I'd call myself merely average at it. Though I do tend to run into a lot of these same people. I must say, yes, it is QUITE annoying. |

Shifty1001 commented on: Killzone 2 (PS3): Killzone 2 |
|
| So, I played through a good chunk of the campaign today. Jesus Tapdancing CHRIST, it is intense. I'm loving KZ2's campaign for the same reason I loved CoD4's campaign: Nail-biting, edge-of-your-seat, balls-to-the-wall intensity. Oh and ffs, to all the people complaining about "only a 9": SERIOUSLY?! It's a 9/10! Think about it this way: The GamesRadar review system only uses whole numbers, i.e 4,5,7, etc. Thus, a 9/10 is merely one point below the best score they could give. Less QQ, more pew pew. The game is wicked so far, and I can't wait to jump into the multiplayer. |

Shifty1001 commented on: Awful Box Art: Street Fighter series |
|
| Aww I feel bad for Brett now. It's okay Brett, I didn't think Tyler wrote the article. You're way cooler anyway. Regarding the article: Good god DAMN SF box-art used to be godawful. Though there's still something about the SF4 art that bothers me... Maybe it's just that Ryu looks more like a toddler who's just been put in the corner than a large man who's decided "Fuck The Bullshit, It's Time To Throw Down". |

Shifty1001 commented on: How Metacritic rules the games industry |
|
| I must say that I agree with everyone's statements about user reviews being mostly unreadable trash. You know how you can figure this out easily? Go on, let's say... IGN. A lot of the time, they have reviews up before the release date. Sweet. Then you see an actual number in the "Average User Score" section, and I do a facepalm. User reviews--especially those specific ones that I have just mentioned--are absolutely worthless, based entirely on expectations, bias, and fanboyism. I actually once read a review that said something like "I hurd dis game guna have . Dats so kool dis game guna destroy Halo and Gears 9/10!" Fail. |

Shifty1001 commented on: Lord of the Rings: Conquest (Xbox 360): The Lord of the Rings: Conquest |
|
| The only redeeming quality of the demo was the fact that it actually had an online component. The only redeeming quality of the actual game... is... well... you can play as a balrog, sometimes. That's pretty fun, right? Honestly, this game is an unbalanced, unfinished mess. Characters run backwards almost as fast as forwards. Chose an archer? Run backwards, rapidly slapping the right trigger. You win. What's this? A warrior / scout is trying to attack you? Well, chances are he'll miss, but just in case, just keep running away. You see, when characters swing their weapons they actually stop moving. Because they don't want to actually HIT you. That would be mean. God this game sucks. |

|
| So they can try to be funny and make jokes about people who post "FIRST", all the while pretending that it isn't a big deal to them. Anyway, I'll probably check this out, the demo was actually pretty fun, much improved over the godawful 360 version |

|
| Hey, you didn't mention the HUGE problem with running down stairs. Probably the most (unintentionally) hilarious animation work I've ever seen. Jason literally runs straight forward into thin air, then falls down to the staircase. Repeat until you hit the bottom. | |

|
| @ Gilmat: Read the name of the article. I'll give you a second. Now, are you really wondering why Diablo 3 doesn't appear in the list of "15 big 2009 games you've probably already FORGOTTEN about"? |
