$250 Black Friday Wii U Bundle
Includes Smash Bros. and Splatoon pre-installed. How did they get them both to fit on the HD?destructoid.com news phantom_leo
So, I have been playing RL I mean, Guild Wars 2. So far I've reached Lv 17 and the second area of the huge-ass map, and it's been actually fun. I love how combat has some rudimentary combo elements and dodging to spice up what otherwise would be a boring button spam. I also love how you can be doing your own stuff and see a bunch of dudes running around together towards somewhere, follow them out of interest and get involved in a random group event that ends with you (and them) fighting out some big monster in the end.
I have played (perhaps even beaten) Cursed Mountain on Wii.
CM is better than the original Tomb Raider.
Comparing Cursed Moutain to Tomb Raider 2013 is like comparing being given herpes to being given a free Lamborghini. (For those not in this reality Tomb Raider 2013 is the sports car).

I agree, but you were given herpes by [insert homely person of your choosing whom you then fall in love, and share a wonderful haptic, unglamorous but real relationship with, full of Tibetan flags and herpes ointments], and the Lamborghini is herpes infested, can't be sold, and you have to register and insure it.

Define TPS mechanics. Is it the gun variety? Cover system? Enemy's reaction to being hit in different body parts? Gun recoil?
I guess all those. RE4 is still the king for me. Cursed mountain is one of the worst in the history of video games. Tomb raider is above average, ahead of Uncharted in mechanics.
I am getting so sincerely tired of buggy, unfinished or untested game releases in the last few years...
There was a bug in The Witch and the Hundred Knight for PS3 that made the game crash back to the PS3 dashboard at random, always inconvenient, intervals. It was never fixed.
Binding of Isaac for NEW 3DS still crashes upon using certain power-ups or completing the steps to get certain hidden characters or unlocking certain game features. The developer teases fixes but they never "get approved."
Darksiders 2 for PS4 is subject to memory leak crashes. People are saying the team that ported it is too small and inexperienced to fix it.
Dragon Fin Soup crashes upon loading a save; same small developer excuse as Isaac.
There were glitches in Dragon Age 3 that annoyed me enough to stop playing it; said I would go back after the patches fixed certain things. They NEVER did.
Wasteland 2, if you dismiss a guest character, they are supposed to go back to Ranger HQ until the next time you need them. They disappear entirely. Same excuse as Isaac and Dragon Fin.
Every game needs a 'Day One Patch' and it's a crap shoot that the game WILL work even with the patch.
I just don't get WHY it's acceptable for the Game Industry to get away with selling products that DON'T WORK. Any other business and there would be class action suits all over the damn place!
Let's not even mention Assassin's Creed; an entire series I won't play due to sloppiness. Skyrim on PS3 and most new Bethesda products...
Scares me when I think of the instability of Street Fighter V in its Beta. Ultra Street Fighter IV for PS4 was a mess at launch.
Even if the game IS playable, I look at Metal Gear Solid V, see how they treated Kojima and his team and get pissed that they put out an unfinished Story...
Any other industry but this one... This would be a HUGE problem. If gamers complain, they are treated with response of "Oh. It's just a game..."
Yeah. A game you pay a pretty significant amount of money for. If people went to the movies and the sound crapped out after 20 minutes they would get a refund. Gamers get promises of fixes that never come. How is that legal?
Any classic Nintendo fans who have Twitter accounts should go Follow John Ricciardi and see what he's been posting lately. Tons of old press releases, videos, pictures and vintage ads.
Here's an example of a press release he received. Three of the Four games featured never made it to the market!

Remembering that is the very reason why I still feel okay not grabbing a PS4 until the end of next year. 6 months should be enough time to work out the bugs. And who knows, maybe Persona 5 will be ready then too.

It's completely unacceptable!!
At least fallout 4 is coming. No chance of bugs there!
So, I have been playing
RLI mean, Guild Wars 2. So far I've reached Lv 17 and the second area of the huge-ass map, and it's been actually fun. I love how combat has some rudimentary combo elements and dodging to spice up what otherwise would be a boring button spam. I also love how you can be doing your own stuff and see a bunch of dudes running around together towards somewhere, follow them out of interest and get involved in a random group event that ends with you (and them) fighting out some big monster in the end.I can answer that: Vanquish and Max Payne 3.
But other than that...
Gears of War
I'll weigh in.
I have played the original Tomb Raider on Saturn.
I have played (perhaps even beaten) Cursed Mountain on Wii.
CM is better than the original Tomb Raider.
Comparing Cursed Moutain to Tomb Raider 2013 is like comparing being given herpes to being given a free Lamborghini. (For those not in this reality Tomb Raider 2013 is the sports car).
I'll be off the grid for 3 day chaps.
taking my 4th day off this year to extend a weekend.
Lots of driving and beer and high class beachside hotels.
Fallout 4 awaits on Monday.

Give this man a blowjob.
LOL so basically everything. Good discussion.
Even GTA IV has better aiming, the RE games too. And Splatoon
- Splinter Cell.

Ubisoft: Syndicate sales were 'clearly impacted' by Assassin's Creed Unity
Yeah. No shit. People are getting tired of being treated like bitches. When it starts to hurt their pockets, publishers will do something...
...in about a year or two from now.

I remember seeing snippets of Comanche and FX Fighter but forgot they existed until seeing this Tweet...
