Because it's Rockstar. For reasons I can not fathom Rockstar gets a free pass on everything. It is absolutely pathetic to see their fanboys and gaming journalists continue to suck Rockstar's dick and gladly gargle on the cum before swallowing it which they'll proceed to do with a big smile on their face.

I liked GTA 4, but honestly I am inclined to agree with you, the biggest reasons? La Noire and RDR. RDR's opening sequence is so drawn out and boring, much like the last 3 hours. Those two were enough to make me think ill of the game. Not to mention the abundance of mediocre missions and a strong lack of variety.

Mirror's Edge is one of my top 5 games for this gen. Awesome game.

Really? I thought it was pretty mediocre.

So I stumbled upon front mission 5... pretty decent so far. Juggling that and radiant historia right now.

So what exactly is it that people think gets worse about Far Cry 3 near the end?  I just finished it and the game seems solid the whole way through to me.  Unless you really liked Vaas for some reason and got put out by how stupid is death was, I don't really understand how you would like the game before that but find it noticably worse after.

Also I gotta add that these are the longest credits I've ever seen

Well Vaas was by far the most interesting character, so at least to me, the campaign wasn't as good after his death. I also started radiant historia, the combat system is a little odd but it's decent for now.

4 is really sounding like the better choice.

It would be my choice for sure. If you didn't like 3 I can't see you being converted by 4 though.

Does it have the fatigue mechanic?

Is persona 4 better than 3? Aside from that I think I'll try Historia first.

Dropped persona 3, the fatigue mechanic killed it for me. Replaying Infinite on 1999 mode and some Dota 2. Still looking for that one JRPG (outside of Souls and Parasite Eve) that I can enjoy.

Have you tried Grandia II? It seems to be another one of those games like Chrono Trigger that people seem to dig.

Nah, I'll give it a chance next weekend though.

Yo when do I actually get to play in Persona 3?

Trying persona 3 now, I've never played a jrpg for more than an hour despite playing many of them, hopefully this can change my mind about them.

P3P or OG Persona 3?

They use Handymen infrequently, You fight 4 or 5 theough out the whole game and its always a good time.

I find that they aren't using crows enough, but I think the level design itself makes up for it. There's so many different things you can do and with the powers/gear alot of combinations you can try!

I'm playing battle for middle earth 2. Still pretty good.

Holy shit, that was more than I expected to write. Hope people find it helpful.

How long does it take to kill enemies? That was my biggest issue seeing the footage.

Tomb Raider... not sure how lara isn't dead in the first hour and there's so much cutscenes and QTE.. I hope it gets better.

Yeah, Legacy of Kain and Onimusha both seem like great series that just fell off for some reason, but hopefully they come back somehow.

 

Did anyone play Shadow Man, by the way? Been looking to pick that up, but there are a ton of versions to choose from.

I've been playing the world ends with you. I despise JRPGs and other than the emo ass MC, I like this game.

not feeling uc3 at all. LMAO every weapon is DLC

UC3 sucks, I think I was at chapter 5 or 6 and stopped playing out of boredom.

Beat DMC, was decent game. Trying Omerta: City of Gangsters, dunno how I feel about it so far. It's like old x-com but feels pretty rough around the edges.

I don't like the MGS Rising demo at all.

Raiden isn't as fast and nimble as I'd like, there's too much focus on parrying, and too many basic moves require double-tapping to activate. Like to do stinger or use your launcher you need to double tap on the stick. To slam down when you're in the air, you need to press Y twice and do a two move combo with the slam being the second move in the combo. I don't see a way to go straight to the slam. To dodge you need to press A and X together, which I think is awkward for dodging. I like the slo-mo cutting though. That works better than I expected.

It's also drab looking. DmC is a lot better looking, but this runs at 60fps so that's a big plus. There's also a lot of screen tearing but it's only the demo. Otherwise Raiden's voice actor is campy bad, and there's all the usual awkward alliteration that I expect from a Kojima script.

To me this is B-team Platinum.

I agree with you, except I still had fun with it. I wasn't expecting too much either way but I did expect it to be somewhat like NG control wise.. this is just so clunky.

^ Sounds like DBZ

Megaman x Street fighter. http://www.capcom-unity.com/brelston/blog/2012/12/17/street-fighter-x-mega-man-now-available-for-free ^ link if you guys want it.

I'll be playing Vanquish when it gets here. I sold this before but I really need an action game fix but my Xbox has been dead for years so no NG2 for me. I hope they make NGS3, I'd play it regardless.. pretty desperate at this point ;(

Been playing farcry 3.. good so far, the villain guy is pretty well done.

what platform?
