  • Ryan Davis has died

    yeah, read about it this morning and was a bit shocked by it...


    I still remember when he and Jeff Gerstmann founded GiantBomb, it was just the both of them in a shitty office back in 2008 I believe. I'm very curious to know the reasons on why and how he passed away, but it seems to me his weight didn't make it any better. I am NOT judging, just saying it's a good reminder to us all workaholics that working hard is important, but staying healthy is just or even more important. (Easier said than done... I've been trying to change my work and life habits for years)


    RIP Ryan.

  • Metal Gear Solid 5

    Quote from Izuno

    I've played about 45 minutes of almost ever MGS game since MGS2. I just cannot get into them, as much as I want to. Played about half of Patriots...and bailed.

    But this...the more I watch of it...could this be the first MGS game I go all the way with? Wait...what did I just type? Anyway, what Thrik said.

    MGS is like any other good RPG, did you enjoy your first 45 minutes of Skyrim or Oblivion? Probably not, but it gets better after a few hours and it develops to be the most epic and unique experience you've ever had. Same applies to all MGS games imo.

  • The Last Of Us - SPOILER THREAD

    Epic fucking game!

    Here's a few things I would like to see in the sequel

    Not in any kind of order


    • I want more melee weapons and more customization of such weapons.
    • I want more take down animations. (in Rockstar's Manhunt, the takedown animation depended on the weapon you had, adds a lot more variety)
    • More loot variety and more items to create.
    • Would be awesome to customize your weapons, use some duct tape and and old bottle to create a suppressor for a handgun, use half a binocular to create a sniper scope, and so on and so forth.
    • More zombie types, after finishing the game twice, I'm actually amazed how they managed to ship the game with only 2 main types of zombies. On the sequel, I would love to see more, and adjust the way you tackle an area depending on the kinds of zombies that are lurking around.
    • Stamina bar! Your character gets tired and melee impacts take less damage if you use it too much in short amounts of time. Also, when sprinting for too long.
    • I loved the areas where you played with Joel and then with Ellie, I hope that on the sequel they make more of that with a twist.
    • More SHOTGUN!
    • I love the overgrown theme, I'm a sucker for it. But... I would also love to see more gameplay DURING the apocalypse itself. Some sort of storytelling event where Joel remembers his fights with his brother, the creation of the fireflies, Joel enduring the change from a good life, to the dawn of the apocalypse.
    • More of the same environments! Overgrown apocalypse is beautiful, MOAR of it!
    • Jungle missions, I want to stealth kill a clicker after sneaking from one bush to the other.
    • Moire kinds of puzzles, the pallets and ladders got old real quick.
    • Localized injuries. Remember MGS3 injury system, where you had to heal your injuries manually? I would love something like that.
    • Remove the blinking screen effect from bricks and bottles, it's really distracting and takes you off the experience since they're EVERYWHERE.
    • Crafting amunition! Finding empty shells and fill them up with powder or something.

    That's it from the top of my head

  • de_holland (WIP) + introduction

    Dude, no one reads through walls of text. Like bram said, make maps, have fun, put them out there, get people to play test them, get feedback, fix problems, make them look good and fit the gameplay, onto to the next map.

    Also, attach your images to your posts so we can see it better and comment on it.

  • The Last of Us

    That's a good question, I had to unlock it via my season pass code and download it (a lot of GB's, it's a 1080p movie). So I think it doesn't doesn't come with the main game out of the box, but it's in the main menu under Downloadables.

    You're resourceful people, you'll find it!
