  • E3 hype!

    I thought Mirror's Edge was a bit meh, but then I didn't play the first for long as I found the controls a bit cumbersome. Battlefront though, looks incredible. Really blown away by it.

    I see a lot of rage happening over the voiced protagonist haha. I don't mind it so much myself, it's all kewl. Just don't mention Doom 4 to me.

    I was really kinda opposed to the idea but tbh, it seems like a really great addition to the game. Makes it feel a lot more immersive imo. Kinda weird when people are talking to your character and you're just a mute.

  • Fallout 4

    I really, really like the idea of being able to explore the world before the nukes go off. I imagine the game will start with you and maybe your family and dog or something, all living out your lives before the nuke. Maybe you start in your car going to work, or coming home from work, back to your idyllic, American Dream-style house with a lovely, well-kept lawn, your wife and kids waving you off or back from work.... You spend the evening with your family, and then the nukes go off. You pack your things hastily, and escape to your assigned Vault. Then maybe.... To explain the time difference, perhaps you get cryogenically frozen, and then wake up decades, or a century later.. Your family are missing. You have to find them.

    Could be awesome :D

  • XCOM2

    Well by the looks of that image, 'Snakeman' was more of a slang term for these creatures, not the fact that they actually looked exactly like snakes :P (Don't know wtf is going on with that thing's mouth.. Is that a tongue?) I'd have liked them to have come up with a more original design rather than just.. flat out copying a snake.

    Quote from Puddy

    I think this whole concept worked better as a throwaway trailer. Thought it was incredibly bland tbh. Like someone said before... nerdsploitation.

    Agreed. Some bits made me chuckle but overall it was just silly for the sake of being silly and ended up not being that funny.. I turned it off when he went too far back in time.

  • The Witcher 3

    Really enjoying this game so far but fuck me, the movement stuff is annoying. Feels like you're controlling a tank; I just wish Geralt was a little easier to control. And the swimming controls are even worse, what a nightmare! But... It looks flippin amazing and I'm really enjoying it. Honestly, it looks at times like some sort of Romantic-era landscape painting. The foliage in particular is blowing me away, it all feels so natural. This kinda game makes me excited about the future of games :)

  • The Witcher 3

    Quote from (HP)

    I'm playing it on PC, but I connected it to my 65" TV. (using a 8 meter HDMI cable) so i'm still getting the "console" more comfortable experience out of it, win - win


    Tbh tho, the PS4 version looks nearly just as good, an untrained eye would notice almost no difference. The biggest difference to me being how the vegetation renders, it's a bit smoother on PC and of course 60FPS if you have the rig for it.

    Awesome dude! That sounds badass...


    Yeah I think I'll get a more consistent experience on my PS4 to be honest. My PC is getting kinda dated now. Cheers dude!

  • Overwatch

    I love the TF2ish kinda look its got going on, it looks really nicely rendered, but I can't help but feel like this is a game I won't enjoy from a gameplay point of view. I'm not saying it doesn't look good, just that it's not really appealing to me as an FPS.


    I think it's because in first person you're focusing more on aiming your weapon and it's more precision-skill based (ie, you have to hit your target), whereas in top-down MOBA games, it's more about where you are on the map and getting map control, fights are less about having pinpoint accuracy, and more about the skill of how you use your specific attacks etc. I understand that doesn't make a great deal of sense heh, because obviously you need map control etc in Overwatch.


    Plus as well, I think what makes TF2 so great is that you have a core set of like 8 classes or whatever it is, and the enemy you're going against is always very readable and you know exactly what kinda class you're fighting, whereas in this there are so many different classes and each one is completely different, that it might be a bit confusing (Yep, again, you could say the same with a MOBA!).


    Anyway, I hope this doesn't come across like I'm being negative towards the game, it's just not really appealing to me. I'm definitely going to give it a go though because I felt like Heroes of the Storm wasn't going to be much fun, until I actually played it! Any word on alpha/beta?


    Edit - Errrgrh just re-read it and it sounds kinda dickish. I really hope it doesn't come across that way! I'm by no means belittling any of the work you guys are doing, it looks incredible

  • Star Wars Battlefront

    Fucking hell, I'd much rather have 12 super polished maps than 33 unpolished to fuck ones. Jesus christ, some people are imbeciles. Pretty pathetic comparisons really, more of stuff does not = more fun. As well, levels and models etc were much quicker to make back then as everything was so basic...
