|
| The original Serious Sam was a budget bin shooter gem in the rough, with average graphics for the time, but made up for it with an insane amount of fun and interesting enemies. We're talking about L4D number of enemies, which was impressive not to mention really fun at the time. Its a basic run and gun, but it just did it better than most. If you haven't played it you've missed out, but this looks awesome. |

|
| Whats this talk of "kiddie" and "toon" look, its basically an updated version of the style used in the first KOTOR games. And its too much to ask to make an MMO using graphics going for photorealism on this kind of scale. They don't have an unlimited budget and time frame, and they definitely don't want to alienate users on lower end machines. So don't wish that they had gone for a realism approach with the graphics because its flat out impossible. |

magicwalnuts0 commented on: GC 09: Gamescom's BIG games played |
|
| Well with the 360 it was because they tacked on royalties, and said it was paying for HD or some bullshit like that. Because the Xbox lost Microsoft a ton of money. The N64 had more expensive games because the cartridges were more expensive to manufacture. I think it will be the most pirated game ever. HOWEVER AvP will be awesome, I'm glad they brought that back. |

| Its messed up that the PC version of MW2 is 60 bucks instead of the standard 50 bucks. I won't enjoy it because I won't buy it until its 50 bucks. And if you don't give a shit about it, its because you either only play on your melt box failsixty or your Playstation, both of which have you by the balls more than you know. because you're paying them 10 bucks every time you buy a game for their systems because neither of can turn a profit on units themselves. | |

But besides that Infinity Ward doesn't have a reason to feel like shit that people are saying not to buy their game. They should feel like shit that Activision is trying to manipulate the market by using their game to raise PC game prices. I still can't believe nobody is outraged by this. |

| What? 60 dollars for a non collectors edition PC is not normal! Its unheard of, plain and simple nobody has had the balls to price gouge the PC game SKU, mostly because those extra 10 dollars (I don't know what it is in UK EU) are going to the console manufacturer as royalties. If you're not outraged by this then you clearly haven't played many games. This is absolutely unacceptable. People should just get together and pirate the game and make it the most pirated game in history. Because that's what Activision deserves for this absolute bullshit. |

| Yeah I don't know what the fuck you guys are talking about with all this collectors edition bullshit but the PC version of MW2 is 60 fucking bucks. Now nobody seems to agree with Aion here but I sure as hell do. 60 bucks for a PC game? That's fucking ridiculous, I'm not even going to look at this trailer because I know I'm not going to buy it, as good as it is. I'm not going to risk having to pay 60 bucks for every PC game I buy because greedy ass Activision doesn't think they're making enough money off of the PC. Most importantly however is the fact that Aliens Vs. Predator was and will be one of the best multiplayer games ever made and that I'm crazy excited for a modern iteration of such an awesome series of games. |

magicwalnuts0 commented on: Half-Life 2: Episode Two (PC): Half-Life 2: Episode Three storyline speculation |
|
| So lets see what we have here. The Portal testing grounds as the Borealis and the G Man as an underling in some game of gods are both extremely good theories. I think you might have popped Valves big secret bubble (not that big it just takes years for Valve to make their HL games) with the G Man one. Only one troll managed to sneak his way in, maybe got tired of playing his favorite game that also starts with an H. Which is good. Also @lovinmyps3 this will most certainly not turn into a Duke Nukem Forever scenario. If HL2 didn't sink into the abyss of never seeing the light of day, none of Valve's HL titles will do the same. Also Portal is a Half Life game TF2 is not a Half Life game L4D is not a Half Life game but Portal is most certainly set in the Half Life universe. |

magicwalnuts0 commented on: Which console will win Fall 2009? |
|
| If MAG is anything like Planetside, it will be a laggy mess. But not just at launch, but FOREVER. Also MAG isn't coming out this fall, it's not going to hit that release date. Also L4D 2 is unlikely to hit it's Fall 2009 release date as well. However, Nintendo wins here with their epically uninteresting lineup of games. They will sell butt-tons of copies of all of those games. ODST will also sell like crazy, but will probably feel forced. Reach will probably be cool though unless it gets rushed like the last 2 Halo games. I just wishwishwishwish, Bungie would be given more time with their games. If I see another November next year release date and a 4 hour long campaign I'm going to shoot myself in the head. 2 years is just not long enough to continuously recreate an internet MP phenomena while also supposedly keeping up with a detailed story. I will pick Sony as the winner as most of the Microsoft games mentioned are also on PC, and since PC didn't get it's own category, most of Microsoft's section is null. Mass Effect was the last time I pick a 360 version over a PC one. |

| looks better than first one. There was something extremely mournful about the Big Daddy's but due to lame game mechanics they were just semi-bosses dropping resources when you kill them. Also the little sister aspect of this new one is FAR superior to the first one. Also the villain is intriguing, although the villian/s in Bioshock were really good. | |

| @Jarhead "Help: Has Anyone after the military ship being destroyed found a text log ssaying how theirs a rumor of Unitology that they are building Huge "mammoth" sized war ships, by the Thousands in deep space, and how " not one person has ever "confirmed" it? the log itself was just laying around like any other logs, but this made you wander, could Unitology go so far as to build thousands of warships? The log didnt say it would destroy anyone, just the fact that theirs a serious rumor that Unitology is taking it to the next level, by preparing for war." The ships they were building weren't war ships, they were called "mausoleum ships". It said that they took all of the dead bodies of dead unitologists and nobody knows what they do with them. The fake journalist who wrote this message was trying to imply that the bodies went into these massive ships. If you had gotten that message right off the bat you'd realize that that's shocking because their goal in life is to have their bodies united with the marker after they die so they can go to "heaven". So imagine how many monsters would be created from one of those. |
