I played Burnout 2, 3 and revenge they were never as tough as this. Good game this, basically open world Burnout with gta style cop chases ane escapes. Really high quality, probably the best U graphics so far and it seems a lot of effort went into it, good exclusive features.

I'll take your word for it. I may be thinking of the original, though. Nevertheless they were a lot harder than Paradise was.

Why are people happy about Duck Tales?

*shrugs* Beats me. It must be a NES-generational thing.

We're you not apart of the NES generation

Nostalgic reasons, I suppose.  It's probably been two decades since any of us have played Duck Tales, so the chance to go at it again, with updated graphics and possibly new gameplay, is exciting.  Much like a lot of us feel about the updated Wind Waker.

Nope. Never had a NES. An Atari 2600 was all I had until 1991.

I'm sorry, man.

Fuck Duck Tales up the asshole with a sharp knife.

Um...I was just browsing my Witcher 2 files and came across one called "Triss Playboy Renders"....just another reason why CD Projekt is one of the best developers out there. LOL

I am about 5 hours in playing GoW on hard and this game is kicking my ass. Hard is actually hard, wow. Anyway it makes it more intense for me so I like it. The game is still GoW so I still enjoy it a lot, this is a great game.

That said some of the choices they made with the combat are baffling. What is up with parry? Now when you parry if you miss you are completely vulnerable, it makes parry more risk than it is worth and now you cant deflect projectiles back. Losing your normal power combos and tying that to the rage meter, are you kidding me, reducing your move list is a great idea... Speaking of the rage meter that has the be the worst combat mechanic in any action game. The meter takes forever to go up and you cant get touched, you cant stop attacking, and once you get it maxed finally you can use some power moves but if you use the super you lose the whole bar. It makes doing the super a waste. Trying to get the bar up is nearly impossible, you have to play super careful which means you attack very slow which means the bar is always dropping. To have almost all your moves tied to that is idiotic.

The elemental attacks add almost nothing which is a far cry from the weapon variety of GoW3. I cant even tell if the elemental attacks do anything different? Are some enemies weaker to some attacks, I dont know? What is the point of using them, I dont know? Their orb bonuses almost never show up. Trying to reach their magic will take the entire game so whats the point of magic.

The combat is a huge step back, it feels like a slightly better GoW1. At least the difficulty is making me play very careful so blocks and evades are important and I cant button mash, though I am beginning to think the button mashing was more fun.

Oh and what is up with the sound? This has some of the worst sound mixing I have ever heard. The music is too loud in parts with the sound effects sounding muffled. Effects are not synced with the action. Sound drops happen often. What a mess.

It is still GoW so I love the world I am exploring and the working in of some cool puzzles. The action can still be fun and thrilling despite the issues. This formula is very fun but this is not at the level of the other console GoW games.

In the long list of most awesome games we will never ever see again, Duck Tales was #1. This is easily the most out of the blue shocking news of the years. Will it be GOTY, no, but its incredible to get this game.

I thought you were only interested in GOTY contenders, Vader.
