    Jesus horsemeat Christ, those shots are hot. Super glad to see the return of vegetation, and some new ventilation crawling......... Nice!

    I'm really looking forward to this, and I guess it's about time for a new video card.

  • What are you playing now?

    I'm gonna go with Sentura on this one.

    I really enjoyed this game. But SpronyvanJohnson raises valid points about the static world, lack of story, to a lesser degree the quest system, and the ending. When compared to any other modern shooter, I didn't find any more invisible walls than usual, certainly no more than in CoD or GoW (admittedly I only got 1/2 way through GoW before I lost interest entirely). Blurry textures were a big issue initially, but the first patch resolved that. Story is definitely not a selling point, but there was enough of it to give the game context, and I've never seen a strong story line in an id Software game... except maybe Return to Castle Wolfenstein. I didn't like how the quest system wouldn't let me pick an active quest, so I always had to follow the beacon of whatever was the most recently active quest. I would definitely have liked to have seen more physics in the game, so that was a bit of a let down. The ending was also a bit meh, and felt slapped on.

    Everything else about the game, was awesome IMO. The movement felt really solid and consistent, and no weird mouse filtering. I loved the sound and feel of the weapons in combat, they felt quite savage, the crossbow was definitely a hit with me. I generally don't like driving games and wasn't expecting to enjoy it in Rage, but I got into it, and the vehicle combat was also fun, if a bit repetitive. I also liked the salvage/crafting part of the game and I enjoyed having more options to choose from than I could carry or craft.

  • GTA V

    Very true, I did enjoy the varied types of terrain and climate in GTA:SA. And the sheer size of SA really made it fun to drive the high performance cars. In GTA4 it's a bit tricky for me to be able to open up the engine on an Infernus without almost hitting something.

  • Battlefield 4

    I don't really understand the appeal of yearly iterations either, like CoD, fifa, etc... But hey, seems like enough people like it Well, at least BF won't join em.

    I'm not really sure how CoD still sells like hotcakes year after year, but in defence of selling a FIFA game every year I will say that it is a bit more important with sports games as the player roster changes every year, and even the laws rules of the sport may change every year.

  • Battlefield 4

    Quote from Chimeray

    What's that supposed to mean? Either 13mil people were cheated into buying BF3 or it's a good game. I'd like to think it's the latter.

    It was meant as a joke against stats. I've got nothing against BF3, I think it's a great game, particularly the multiplayer. It's got more depth than most of the other military shooters out there, and it's way more accessible than ARMA. I personally don't see how CoD:MW always outsells it.

    Quote from Chimeray

    New IP´s are rarely a financial success in the first iteration and a huge risk as a result

    But it would be pretty rare for a financially unsuccessful new IP to get the green light on a sequel... right?

    Solution: Don't make shit products. Capitalism 101

    I'm not entirely sure if capitalism aims to preclude shit products..... Justin Bieber, Michael Bay, those things you can buy to squeeze out the last 3ml of a tube of toothpaste

    vgchartz lists 13.5million sales of bf3. i guess people want it huh

    People can come up with statistics to prove anything Rick, 14% of all people know that.

  • GTA V

    bad day i guess, but the bottom line : i want Vice City remake

    I'd definitely be on board for more of this! Then again SA could be pretty cool with in an 80s rendition.

  • GTA V

    Wow!...........

    Not too shabby, not too shabby at all. I wonder if the return to the West coast will also bring with it the craziness of GTA:SA? Jet packs, and dildos etc.

  • Battlefield 4

    Yeah Marvin summed it up pretty well. Just another money grab to reiterate the same codebase a year later, making sure they squeeze as many sales out of the current gen of consoles. Personally I think BF3 has awesome multiplayer, but the online pass system is another brazen $$ grab. It may be cool, but I don't have high expectations.....

    If they released an SDK, however, that would be an entirely different matter.

  • Ghost Recon Future Soldier

    Nice one, I enjoyed Deep Fire and Subtle Arrow. The vista when you get to see the boat for the first time with the environmental foley really made it seem huge, and a bit monstrous

    The firefight through the sandstorm in Subtle Arrow was also pretty cool, having to rely on optics the whole time. Although admittedly I switch to, and stay on magnetics for most of the shooting sequences. It was a bit interesting though, that my sniper rifle could shoot a dude behind sandbags, but not someone behind a tent. Overall though awesome work man, I'd definitely be proud of it.
