    HIGH-FIVE MAZZLE !!!

    No Halo 3? Oopsie

    OMIGOSHIYOSH! It's as good as winning to me tho. I mean common, it's a shipped game compared with a work in progress, and its one that has received the highest scores ever of all the platforms its released on.

    But yeah, good stuff, wasn't even aware that we were gonna have a playable version there until a few days ago, lol

  • That other BioShock thread

    Depends whether you're going to explore everything you come across to the tiniest detail. I did that for the most part, and it only too me about 22-25 hours. Also at one point I actually went back to replay an area for about 1 hour, so its kinda hard to say. But you can probably speed through it in about 15 hours, but wheres the fun in that?

  • The CoD4 beta is letting loads of people in soon

    Quote from Skjalg

    Once again, europeans are getting fucked in the ass by american developers.(those of you on irc might remember me bitching about the same thing when bioshock was released )

    Indeed. I mean as far as game releases go we've come a long a way very recently, but these kinda closed betas are still outta our reach. Not that I have any illusions about this, makes good sense since its so much easier to just do it in the US, just sad that you're surprised if its the other way around.

  • That other BioShock thread

    Thought it might be more practical with a thread that doesn't focus on technical issues (pffft PC)

    Just finished it. Brilliant game, but for me it somewhat lost some of its momentum just before the end (wont spoil anything, but game design wise I think they really made a huge mistake in the bit just before the end).

    Also both endings are pretty high on "wtf".

    The plot twist is pretty fucking amazing tho, best I've seen in a game yet (Better than KOTOR!). Gave me goosebumps, awesome!

  • Hitman Trailer

    Quote from ^Slick

    Why did they choose him? The model of 47 is based off of some guy, can't remember his name. This same guy is also the voice actor of 47, as well as that he is an actor!It would be an obvious choice. I'm still going to see it though, gotta haven't I?

    I can imagine another game coming out soon after the movie actually, jumping on its hopeful success.

    Just because someone might be a good voice actor, then it doesn't mean they're a good actor. Also even though Olyphant might not be a big name (Yet! ) then he does have more "Hollywood credit" than the guy who voiced Hitman in the games, which probably ended up getting him the job.

    Personally I think people that think that Statham would've been a perfect choice are making a really dumb argument. Apparently to cast a bald character you should narrow your choice down to actors that are naturally bald. What kinda of utterly simplified logic is that? I mean Statham is okay in those generic action movies he seems to spit out every 2nd month (Brilliant in Guy Richies movies tho), but he would really have to work on his accent if he had to play Hitman. Would be way worse in my book if Hitman had the english bloke accent instead of Olyphants baby eyes.

    Anyway, we can easily agree that Olyphant might not be the best choice, but I think he's probably a better fit for Hitman's kind of character (At least judging from Deadwood).

  • Halo 3

    Quote from Furyo

    GTA has been delayed for a while now Mazy

    I was refering to the previous GTA games (more precisely Vice City and San Andreas). With GTA4 they do seem a bit more open about the project, which I'm sure is bound in TakeTwo's internal problems and trigger happy investors that wanna see results.

    So there!

  • Halo 3

    I agree. Even GTA doesn't have things this well kept away from the media. Haven't seen any singleplayer movies apart from the trailers, which I also find kinda mysterious just a month before release.

    Maybe its got something to do with some super secret stuff in it, kinda like how the tanker was just the first 1-2 hours of MGS2.

    Oh and again (stating the obvious), the Halo games are without a doubt the most overhyped games of all time. That doesn't mean I dont enjoy them, but getting 1 mil preorders? wtf!?

  • BioShock demo up on XBL!

    Quote from dux

    "lol you pre-ordered a game. What a loser."

    Donno about there, but here people are fucking crazy about this game. In fact just when I was done talking to the cretin in EB and was on my way out, I heard the guy who had been standing in line behind me ask him about BioShock as well (and get rejected at getting it early rofl1ol)

    Also my usual watering hole for getting games early had it sold out, didn't expect it to be this sought after tbh.

  • BioShock demo up on XBL!

    Gah, the Limited Edition has been postponed until Friday next week, so I tried to find a store that would sell the Collectors Edition today. I think this is the first time I have failed to find someone that would sell a game before the official date, I felt so humiliated when I had to preorder it even though he had the game in his fucking hand. Even my usually impenetrable mind tricks with mentioning that I work at IO had no effect D:

    EB pricks :G

    Oh well, at least I'll have it for the weekend...
