The game I am waiting, the show I can't. I hat these shows with tiny seasons taking almost a year off.

What happened to a normal like 22 episode season? All these 13 episode seasons now. Cable.

I'm pretty sure they said season 3 is like 2 times as big as season 2, which was 2 times as big as season 1. So it likely IS like 23 episodes long.

Retros new office building looks like Perfect Dark:

Holy fuck, it really does...first level, Datadyne!

That should be Rare's office.

I was worried about this:

007 Legends reviews

The missions abruptly throw players into the middle of their respective movies with little context. If you haven’t seen them – and with the films covered, that’s an easy feat – you won’t know what’s going on and probably care even less. It is hard, after all, to get emotionally invested in defeating Franz Sanchez and Gustav Graves, the respective villains of License to Kill and Die Another Day, without the benefit of a proper build-up.

Should have veered away from levels from different films.

It’s a bad game when it’s working, but there are plenty of moments that make you wonder how it even got cleared for release. Enemy AI frequently freaks out, causing soldiers to endlessly sprint against walls (often firing their guns at the ground). At one point, the framerate dropped to unplayable levels, except it wasn’t during a firefight – I was just walking around. The visuals are cheap, with doorknobs drawn onto textures like this was a Nintendo 64 game. As I entered one room, enemies materialized out of thin air and dropped to the ground in front of me. These troubles carry over to its simple multiplayer mode, which features lag, terrible character animations, and an upgrade system that can’t even clear the “poor man’s Call of Duty” bar.

Whaaaaa?

This sounds like a RE6 review:

GI said:

"I really wanted to love RE6 007 Legends, given the source material they had to rely on, as well as how I had enjoyed the previous RE Bond games; however, at the end of the day I am left underwhelmed by the whole experience having played what I view as a average game at best. Sure, there are signs of a good game, but there are issues that become prevalent, such as heavy use of QTEs, basic enemy AI, frustrating gameplay, as well as inconsistent visuals and sound, and these hurt this title in the long run. RE6 007 Legends is best left for those true RE Bond fans as it gives some great fan service, they just have to be weary of some of its shortcomings before they start to play."

Yikes.

Wii U version is in December, can they fix it? FIX IT!

Oh shit, IGN said:

"The frustrations with the sneak mechanics are further exacerbated by the mandatory stealth sections of the game, which hit you with an instant 'mission fail' screen if you're spotted. Seriously, if stealth is your bag then go and pick up Dishonored."

Just read this on GAF again.

Reloaded plays very differently from Goldeneye Wii. Much of the game was redesigned to appeal to the Ps360 crowd. It's also a bit crap, to be honest, much like 007 Legends has looked since its first reveal.

In comparison, Goldeneye Wii is still quite brilliant to play, easily the best single player FPS of this generation and a top 5 title in terms of multiplayer (in my opinion). Maybe the difference in quality lies in Nintendo's involvement? They have a huge number of people in the credits.

Seriously, Reloaded was changed significantly? I have to try this out somehow. None of the reviews for reloaded really mentioned how it was changed. Well one did.

heads up to all my stateside Wii U and other pre orders Newegg has a two day coupon code 12 dollars off all pre orders 49.99 and up EMCJNJD242 , USE IT OR LOSE IT also free 3 day UPS!

I'll be getting Deadly Premonition at launch. It will be a good excuse to replay (trophies, HD), plus I blazed through the original because I wanted to see what would happen next. I spent no time exploring people's homes, collecting cars, flowers, fishing etc...

See 007 sounds like an actual bad game. Glitches all over, enemy ai not behaving properly. Poor gameplay, online that doesn't work well.


...

Hearing how bad it seems makes me even more interested in 007. With a cover like this, how could it not be awesome?

How does Eurocom go from making Goldeneye to this shitty Legends game? Eww.

Just a quick announcement. PSN has put Costume Quest on sale this week. If you haven't managed to play this game yet, please make the time to do so. This 6 hour RPG is one of the greatest games I've ever played. It's a Double Fine Games production so it's got a very signature sense of humor to it, and is very refreshing in a genre that's full of emo Japanese boys. Basically this is a Calvin and Hobbes story come to life.... or videogame. So get it dammit. Just get it okay?

One has to wonder how hard it is to make a good Bond game.
