Upcoming Game releases.

Would it be 'unique and powerful' if they added for example a few more quests that would award you with a special sword or an item of some kind? In a singleplayer game. Yeah, I thought so.

[Daxter King]

I don't like the idea of powerful, unique ingame content for preorders. I think that stuff should be earned for being good at a game. It could ruin a game like Skyrim, too.

Yeah, I defintly prefer something physical instead of in game content. However, if they must go with the latter I usually only dislike it if it is in multiplayer, giving pre-order people an unfair advantage. I really don't care if someone wants to walk through an RPG with god mode armor or a dick sword or whatever.

I'd prefer that kind of thing just to be in the full game, but I guess if it was a cosmetic item then it isn't so bad. I would hate to miss out on a cool quest or weapon because I didn't buy the special edition. Especially in a game like Skyrim.

[Dynamithix]

Yeah, but to be honest, that's what the game developers are doing nowadays. Especially the whole 'pre-order to get this and this DLC' is almost in every game now.

Then again, it isn't that much of a bad thing. In my opinion, if you pre-order the game, it's fair that you get some content to the game, but it shouldn't be exclusive. It should be made available to the people who bought the game used or didn't pre-order too. For a small price maybe.

what if it's just a cosmetic bonus, like an exclusive skin/armor/synonym?

[Dynamithix]

In my opinion, this trailer makes the new game mode look really boring. Definitely not buying MW3, it looks so generic.

[Mac Sirloin]

Definitely not buying MW3, it looks so generic.

Under the pretence that you bought the first two, this sentence is tickling my funny bone.

[Daxter King]

Spec Ops was the best fucking part of MW2, but making it a straight up survival mode, instead of missions, misses what made it great entirely. I'm pretty sure they have both the missions and the survival mode though. I won't be getting MW3, but if they ever put up Spec Ops as a download for like $15, I would buy it in a heart beat.

[Manco]

I must be the only person in existence who played Modern Warfare for the story.

[Wings of Fire]

I must be the only person in existence who played Modern Warfare for the story.

And?

[Manco]

And?

And I'm probably going to end up getting MW3 too.

And enjoy it.

[Phylum]

It'll be a solid shooter with lots of nice features. It's a pity about the teenage faggots online.

[Daxter King]

I too dislike homosexuals between the ages of 10 and 20.

[Phylum]

Seriously, though. The community is the biggest factor in me not buying this game. The strengths of a game like this really lie in team games, but every single team game I play is shit because no one in the team works like a team. They're too busy improving their "pro sniper skillz".

Also, they spill over into other games. The bottom tier in Quake Live (the tier I'm in) mainly consists of Instagib matches in my area.

[Dynamithix]

Under the pretence that you bought the first two, this sentence is tickling my funny bone.

You're wrong. I bought Call of Duty 4 and I was impressed how good it was, I have played Modern Warfare 2, but I would never pay for that game.

[MeechMunchie]

Screenshots and stuff.

New Deus Ex trailer:



Prey 2, featuring space-porn:







Dunmer in Skyrim don't get a healthy continential turqoise tan like they do back in Morrowind.



Trackmania 2 looks pretty. Warning: This driver is a professional. He is good at this game. You are not. You will crash and do so repeatedly.



Dishonored. This shot is better without explanation. Police mechano-stilts!

[Dynamithix]

Dishonored reminds me of Half Life.

[MeechMunchie]

Victorian London paranormal steampunk Half-Life.

[Daxter King]

Viktor Antonov is doing the art for it, hence it reminding you of Half Life 2.

[Crashpunk]

In my opinion, this trailer makes the new game mode look really boring. Definitely not buying MW3, it looks so generic.

Your right, It just looks all the same.

[MeechMunchie]

Oh, and Kastere, I hope this is more to your taste.

[Mac Sirloin]

Oh, and Kastere, I hope this is more to your aste.

Good enough to eat. I should preorder that.

[Daxter King]

Space Marine looks fucking sweet, but its wedged between Deus Ex and Gears 3, Ill have to pick it up at a later date. I hope it does well though, it looks great, but there is so much stuff coming out this year its hard to see it making it out of the shelves.

[Dynamithix]

Batman: Arkham City is shaping up to be an amazing game.

[Wings of Fire]

I was surprised how it's only 80€ when it's 100$ in the US.

[Dynamithix]

Yeah, that's not what I meant, what I meant was that we usually get ripped off because it's usually 100 dollars = 110 euros for collector's editions which sucks.

Oh and btw, I'm not getting that Collector's edition, it doesn't even come with a soundtrack for the game, the statue is about the same size as the Duke Nukem Forever bust. (Which is really small.) and there's no case for the game, the game disc is inside the artbook. Lame.

I only pre-ordered the game itself in Gamestop to get the 4 huge posters (which look amazing.) and I'm canceling the pre-order tomorrow.

[Dynamithix]

This is an upcoming survival horror game. (I assume.) This version is just a prototype and I think you can download the demo on their website. To be honest, it looks very good for a very early build of the game.

[Dynamithix]

Okay, okay, I know I just posted but seriously, this is worth the double (triple?) post!



I'm already going to say that this is my 2nd most anticipated game of the year. The 1st one of course being Skyrim.

[MeechMunchie]

Hey, why does Mr. Freeze have to wear that suit?

Is it insulation to stop him freezing to death while using his gun? Or is it all just part of the gun's refrigeration in handy suit-shaped form?

Good enough to eat. I should preorder that.

The juxtaposition of the two videos made me laugh. One was all commentary, and pretty slow. "Boring", says Mac. Then the next video I find starts with BLOOD AND GORE INTENSE VIOLENCE and has big thumping music. "I know someone who'll like this," I think, before the actual trailer's even started.

Moar Skyrim. Eight journalists got invited to make a character each. My faves:



Fap, says Havoc.



Dunmer eyes look real now. Also, HE HAS STUBBLE. Revolutionary.



The first ever Bosmer to not look like a complete tool.



... Words cannot describe how pleased I am about this screenshot. She looks like a lizard! An actual lizard! If they have a lizard-style slider that lets me look like, say, a gecko I will sell my soul to Bethesda.

MARSHBROTHERS UNITE

EDIT: Oh, and just as a side note, big things have occurred since the events of Oblivion due to the actions of the player in Morrowind i.e. The Nerevarine. Veteran Morrowind players have permission to spit out their coffee in comic fashion.

And Edmund McMillen finally manages to make a living out of his actually no-shit warped mind.

Come to think of it, probably NSFW. That's what I'm talking about.

Valve brings you, DoTA2.
