I wasn't planning on playing any more sonic 4, have they fixed the physics? I thought colors was ok, easily the best 3d sonic, but I found generations painfully boring, both as a game and as fanservice. Retro sonic doesn't look or animate anything like the Sonic I used to love from the megadrive days (also fuck you knuckles for calling him fat), and the level design is just kind of...boring. So much wasted potential with the OST too. Every "retro" song should have ended up like casino night zones score (awesome), but this was not the case. Amazingly, the best remixes are from the shitty sonic games (Crisis city and speed highway).

Speaking of Sonic, Sonic Rush adventure is excellent. The RPG elements suck, but the level design and chaos emerald levels are sublime. I just wish Hideki Naganuma returned from Rush to do the music (besides the music, I hated the first Rush game).

not much, but the improvement is there. rolling up slopes still does not work but walking does (:

I don't get why they are trying to emulate 16 bit music. It's that faux retro pandering shit which really annoys me (see megaman 9, graphically at least). It's like the music was reversed engineered to sound like that. I'm sure Nakamura would have killed to get a better sound out of the MD's sound chip if given the option, but he did what he could with the hardware at the time.

Anyone played Max Payne 3 ?

[Crowzer]

I'm a big fan of the first two and I'm not disappointed with Max Payne 3.

I have not had a problem PC but there's one thing I do not understand what is the recommended configuration Game website ... Said it takes three GTX 690 to play it properly. At first I was a little slowed but it is nice to see that in the end the game runs very well on my modest config, then I mean a gamer computer at 550 € ...

Anyway, big flavor ! It is with great pleasure that I could find the particularly gameplay to the serie with the combo keyboard / mouse. I'm just at the beginning of chapter 5, but from what I've seen the scenario looks not too bad. The only downside is that you play sparingly, otherwise the game will be quick to finish !

this looks pretty cool: Watch Dogs

i just came to post that after seeing a bit of the demo, looks really good.

I've downloaded Crusader Kings 2 but haven't had the time to sit down and play it yet.

I'm in this line. Played to battlenet crashed last night and I'm eager to go home to play after work. I don't think I'll play as much as I did on D2 days which almost caused me not getting into college, but yeah, it's still fun.

It's simpler than D2, easy to play but of course fun, but blizzard do suck at maintaining their servers..

i'm in the middle of nightmare, played all classes, and i'm sick of this game. too many shitty drops. unplayable when lagging. too many time restraints on potions/ skills. and unless you have a ton of gold, you're going to need to whore yourself in the auction house..

D2 was much better..

new here so thought i'd ease myself in gently... any DotA players?

Looking forward to DotA 2?

oh wow... that looks .. like any other game this gen.. *sad face*

nice to see another gamer in here though.

e3 was a disappointment.. all press conferences sucked.

Watch dogs looks amazing... I believe it's a spiritual successor to True crime. I have to agree with E3 being pretty boring this year though. Just seems like a recap of everything that was announced last year + a whole bunch of wii u / kinect shit I couldn't care less about

pikmin 3 looked great, but that's a given. it didn't look different from the previous as one would have hoped..
resident evil 6 - more positive to this one now.. however some area's looks really bland and empty. being stalked by the ustanak is quite nice.. really hope the earlier release date doesn't make it feel less polished.
p-100 wii u - terrible art/design. other than that.. kamiya gameplay will deliver as per usual.

...but Usher was there!

[volta]

what i dont understand is why sony had to fly in a few fan-bloggers to cheer in the audience.. waste of money. and harry potter crap for 30 minutes??!?!!!!
why microsoft had to have usher dancing to shit music on stage.. very awkard.
why nintendo had to show family/social-games..

.. when casuals don't even follow e3 ffs!
