System Wars Lounge v70--The Action Adventure Ambiguous Movie Edition

He was in Jonah Hex and Prometheus, he's been in shitty movies before.

So I decided to scoop up Doom instead of Uncharted.

Hope it doesn't suck.

I'm still hoping they release uncharted for pc.

#thedreamwillneverdie

fck I just have to get a PS4 I think.

Rumour: Nintendo NX To Be Unveiled At Tokyo Game Show?

Ended up seeing Civil War again, what a fun movie.

God damn DC sucks so much at making movies.

Really enjoyed it. Spidey and Ant were the best :)

Beat Ratchet and Clank (7/10)

That, my friends, is a fun as **** game. Its humor and tone are dedicated to a fault for younger kids, and that can definitely be grating in the long run, but its combat scales well on Hard difficulty and I felt like I was earning every kill at some point. The planet variety adds a sense of flow and pacing that scratches a Super Mario Galaxy itch while retaining the whimsical Ratchet and Clank universe.

A lot of the beauty of the game comes from the mechanics. Nuts and bolts might be the second most satisfying thing to collect in video games for me, only shy of Mario's Gold Stars, and they have tangible rewards with Insomniac's trademark arsenals. Add those together to challenging combat scenarios, the aforementioned level variety with all those planets, and sprinkle in some fun and non-offensive puzzles and you've got a really great time.

The lack of strafing lock on in the new Ratchet is what gets me. Plus it's like the 10th game and a remake.

I'm sure it's still fun on some level though.

> Tries to boot up Doom 4

> Game glitches the **** out on the Bethesda logo, then turns into a slide show.

Seems fitting.

@ConanTheStoner: On PC? Because any id or id tech game post doom 3 had consoles as a priority :P

Game did it during the beta, just don't press a key while it's loading up, and then it's smooth sailing. Gonna play some Ultimate Doom before I hop on that Doom 4. Could you imagine having to suffer that game on a gamepad? Fucking gross.

@Chozofication:

Yeah PC lol. Luckily it was just a one time thing, booted the game again and played a 5 hour stretch with no issues. Talk about a shit first impression though haha.

@jg4xchamp:

Yeah I did the same, ran through Ultimate Doom, then Brutal Doom leading up to this.

And **** no dude, I wouldn't even play this game if a gamepad was my only option lol.

So far I'm liking the game though. Feels like it should be a bit faster, but that's my only real nitpick for now. Some dude in the hype thread said you could increase your speed through upgrades, but that just seems dumb to tie character speed to a level-up in Doom.

Civil War was meh. The airport scene was fantastic but the overall plot and the rest of the movie was forgettable.

Civil War was good and it made both Black Panther and Spider-Man the movie worth seeing. I'm totally ready for X-Men: Apocalypse now.

45h later and I just completed the first difficulty in Grim Dawn

So, I played Pokken Tournament at a Best Buy about a week ago. Fun, but the game makes me think of licensed anime/manga titles than it does the likes of Tekken or, for that matter any original fighting IP.

All four wisdom teeth are out. I am now 361% dumber than I already am.

I bought the damn disc for Uncharted 4 and the PS4 has the audacity to tell me I can't play the game because there's not enough Free Space in my System.

This is horse shit.

@Chozofication: you literally hold L2 to strafe, only the very first entry didn't have this as far I know.

I mean, mandatory installs. This was known back in February 2013. You're late to the party on this one.

Huh? Ratchet and Clank has strafing though?

@charizard1605: the dumbest.

Gravity Rush: SCEJ came up with a pretty fresh concept, and then proceeded to give it the blandest set of video game missions and combat? Was Ueda the only legit dude at that company?

I've reached 5000 posts.

@jg4xchamp: Yeah, Gravity Rush is a very pretty piece of shit.

It's not even all that pretty, good music though.

@jg4xchamp: You playing the PS4 version I presume? It looked pretty on the Vita.

I always considered Gravity Rush myself (both the Vita and PS4 versions) because my friend was a huge fan. But something about it just never sat well with me. By the sound of both champ and chaz turns out I made the right choice.

I'm not too fond of Nintendo's new marketing slogan. I'm still rooted to the past when commercials kept blaring oldies like "Live in your world, play in ours" or that really lustful whisper of "Gamecube". Even the "Wii would like to play" was memorable in its own right.

Also, in my hype for Tokyo Mirage Sessions or 7th Dragon III, I forget about Monster Hunter Generations. The hunt never ends, and I can't wait to play around with the new styles for Long Sword.

Been playing Uncharted 4, and it has been okay. Feels a little slow moving at times, and once again it further tells me that the Uncharted series for me is just good to middling.

Waiting for Overwatch to release is torture though. Freaking loved the Beta like I thought I would. Bought the game even before playing the Beta since TF2 is my jam. Great game and is kind of souring the Uncharted 4 experience a bit tbh.

The ones I played the most in Overwatch were Reaper, Tracer, and Mercy. Go figure those are very similar to my TF2 mains Spy, Scout, and Medic respectively...

@charizard1605: I know there's strafing but there's no lock on right?

So are sigs permanently gone now like the follower/following stat?

probably want to check the bugs & feedback forum.

Yeah, they fucking bet on their combat and boss fights, over doing a platformer with these mechanics? Like no one there was aware how fucking garbage the combat and enemy designs are. I thought the game was a platformer this whole time. Not that they came up with cool platforming stuff, that one stretch where you are just dropping down. I got so bored with how long that shit was taking, so I said **** it and just ran past gems until I get to the boss fight.

Also no difficulty settings? For a game this piss easy? What are they Nintendo?

I feel personally that gravity rush is too short and that the side quests were really just a pain in the ass, I didn't enjoy them. It is a solid vita title but beyond that it could use some work.

I think Gravity Rush 2 will probably end up being a lot better after getting feedback on their first.

The game being short is not a problem, and the games shitty sidequests are whatever. Sidequests have been shit in video games for all of eternity. They just come in slightly different degrees of shit. The combat being piss poor, the bosses being

A: pushovers
B: just fucking lazy from a visual design standpoint
C: Basically all have the same set up of "hit with flying kick, maybe use rock slide here and there"

Is boring as shit, and then the mission designs focus so much on combat. Like moving around the city and getting the gems is the only time I'm actually having any consistent fun, and that's a product of the game taking advantage of me being compulsive. When it finally lets you platform? Boring shit, or shit that asks you to do it without the gravity powers, like that one fucking room with the floating squares while god lady talks to you for fucking ever, and now I'm fetching cats...we on Mission 18 of like 21, we gathering cats.

I understand that the vita sucked dick in terms of getting exclusives that weren't a colossal bore, and that people who like Sony first party game outside of stuff by Ueda and Naughty Dog, but **** this. I'm in awe, in how the game just finds a new way to be boring at this point lol

Also what a waste of Kat, she's pretty fucking chill, the story in this game? Animu garbage. Fucking Japan.

Gotta say I'm glad I made this choice. Not saying it's better than UC4, but I'm enjoying it way the **** more than the previous UC games.

@jg4xchamp: Man, if Gravity Rush had been a platformer, it would have been so much better than the hot garbage that it is right now.

At least the sequel looks good, I guess.

@getyeryayasout: You know me man, SP all the way! I might dabble in the MP a little later, but the campaign is just great so far. Nice sprawling level design with plenty of alternate paths and secrets, fast paced in-yo-face gunplay, every weapon (aside from the starting pistol) just feels great. No bullshit about it really man, it's just Doom lol.

Of course I'm an asshole of a gamer and I could nit pick away at some things if I had to, but overall I'm just having a great time with it. This is probably the only time you'll see me hype a FPS lol.

@ConanTheStoner: Man, I'm really thinking of getting DOOM. Game looks like a blast, lol

Sidenote, but GS needs to fix the notifications again :/

@charizard1605: Not that it's really the best comparison but have you played The New Order?

@Blabadon: No, but that's another one I've been meaning to get. I used to love Wolfenstein 3D and Return to Castle Wolfenstein.

you are going to disappoint because new order is nothing like RTCW. its very slow paced, rely on long unskippable sequence, aim down the sights.

@charizard1605: The New Order is awesome. 2 thumbs up from me. Disregard Sniper's nonsense.

So to pretend I have something to play on the PS4, I chose to sell my PS3 copies of Uncharted and get the Collection on PS4 (which is currently going for $20).

The total value for the trade in (at a local place) was $23 for the three games. Sweet, just enough to cover the collection. But when I walk out of the store, I check the cash I was given and it turns out the clerk lady messed up and gave me $33 instead.

tl;dr I got $10 on top of Uncharted Collection thanks to a mishap.

@mmmwksil: buy Uncharted 4

Got Castlevania and Super Punch Out on my 3DS today. Having a lot of fun with both.

@Blabadon: send me $65 and I sure will. I'll PM you my Paypal.
