  • The Order 1886

    Quote from Mazy

    I don't mind a short campaign if it's excellent while it lasts, but based on what I've seen so far then it looks like a gorgeous but average cover based shooter with very few tricks up it sleeve in terms of gameplay. Will wait for some reviews before I do anything


    Sure, I'm all for quality over quantity. Hell, I've played indie titles that lasted 2 hours and made more of impact on me than games that took 20 hours. It's just that you can't really justify a 60 dollar game for a 5 hour SP campaign with no replay value (if the rumors are true). Especially when you know that the very next day the second hand market will get flooded with copies and it will loose it's value at warp speed. Why buy something for 60 when you can probably get it for 30 within 2 weeks?

    I laughed until I literally cried. Then I wondered if I cried because it was so funny or because it's so true :S

  • The Order 1886

    Quote from knj

    Who is thinking about getting this ? Dayym I'm so pumped to get this, but I'm afraid this is just a interactive movie


    I've been following this from the start. But however pretty and original it looks it just doesn't convince game play wise. I wouldn't mind if it's an interactive movie but it's rumored that the campaign takes about 5 hours to complete. That's just not worth the full retail price. I'll wait for the reviews and if positive, I'll still wait for a hefty price cut.

  • What have you watched recently?

    Finished season 4 of American Horror Story. I liked the season overall. The guy playing the psycho gave an amazing performance. But the ending was ridiculous. Immediately dragged the whole season down. A real shame.


    Decided to revisit The Matrix. That movie was so far ahead of it's time and it still hasn't lost any of it's amazing charm, innovation and style. One of the few movies, back when it came out, which I watched, re-winded (VHS baby) and immediately watched again. Too bad it went downhill after that but the first one will always remain a masterpiece.


    So, as is tradition with me since a couple of years, I watched a Jason movie last Friday. Decided to try Jason X which, by all accounts, should be terrible. The whole premise is ludicrous. Jason gets frozen and is then discovered 400 years later by a group of students visiting the now abandoned earth. They bring him on their space ship, he gets thawed out and starts a killing spree. Eventually he even gets upgraded into Uber Jason. Really, I laughed my ass off during this movie.

  • Breaking Bad

    Quote from Mazy

    I donno, maybe I'm just not as big a fan of him as other people. I mean I like him in the context of Breaking Bad where he brought some humour when it might often be pretty dire and serious, though he was also a character that you generally felt a bit sorry for, but like I've said before then as a character from BB then it doesn't feel like a no-brainer to make a show about him either.


    I guess my point is that just because it's a spinoff of BB then for me at least it still has to stand on it's own feet and earn it rather than just being full on fan service, though that said then nothing so far from the first episode indicates that it won't be able to do that.


    I hear you. I really disliked him at first. But he grows on you. Kinda like a puppy. He keeps pissing on your carpet but he's just so funny you forgive him anyway.

  • Hitman: Agent 47

    Quote from (HP)

    You pretty much summed up why the plot was so good. The journey to failure; no single man would be able to win against such an army alone makes him relate able.


    So the plot is good because the main hero is completely unnecessary? I don't think I agree.


    That kinda goes beyound the point on whether the movie is good or not. In the last scene, where the ghosts attack the Nazis you don't go all like:

    "Look at that shit... ghosts killing nazis and the hero is tied to a pole, such a useless hero"


    It's all about the journey and the way the scenes are cut together, and yes, the fact that he tries his best against an unbeatable army is part of why it's so relatable.


    I see we got a Big Bang Theory fan here:

    Well, fuck Amy. It's the journey, not the destination.

  • Breaking Bad

    Ok, I'm now at episode 5 of season 4 but I'm still really struggling. The Walter, Jesse, Gustavo and Mike stuff is amazing. It's what keeps me watching. However, all those side characters are only distracting. I don't care about Marie, Skylar, his retarded son or even Hank's recovery. It just drags on. Everybody keeps telling me to hold on and continue but at this point I'm really glad just to be done with it.


    It's kinda like Sin City. Marv is the coolest character and has the most impressive part of the movie. But because it's so good and the movie starts with it, it never really quite reaches that level again. Not that the rest is bad, it's not on the same level. It should have ended with Marv and go out with the bang but instead it climaxed too early. The same for Breaking Bad. Walter/Jesse's story line is where it's at and the rest just gets in the way.

  • The Evil Within (Project Zwei)

    Quote from PaulH

    I stopped playing it during the second chapter (soon after the ambulance crash), I guess I should carry on? I hear it gets better, certainly didn't sell me from the start though


    Same here man but it really picks up from that point on.

    Quote from knj

    IMO half of the game is great, but after chapter 10 is getting boring


    I think I read somewhere that there are 15 chapters? You finished it already? Why is getting boring (no spoilers please)?


    Btw, the whole key thing and the morgue is an awesome touch. I really like that mechanic.

  • What's going on with your life?

    Quote from Vilham

    I wrote out a whole thing on this but tbh I can't be bothered. Statistically owning a property is going to be a bigger net contributer to your wealth than renting on average.


    Now I lay my part in this debate to rest.


    Fair enough dude. Wanna hear something ironic though? If I do manage to sell this house I'll buy a new one

    I don't know the correct phrasing but we make too much money to rent normally. So we have to do it through a land lord and pay double the amount of what it would cost if we would buy. So that's really a no brainer. How's that for a twist

    Are you telling me you can use this to create natural looking terrain without using brushes? So no more trisouping?
