    The Ultimate Movie Thread of Ultimate Destiny

    They actually remade that? I don't usually mind remakes/reboots of certain horror franchises, particularly from the slasher genre, but The Thing is another beast altogether that still holds up today. Not that certain movies like Friday the 13th, and Halloween don't hold up today (they do) but...

    Trigun is pretty cool, but that face 7/10

    General Gaming Megathread: What are you playing?

    Finally finished Bayonetta on Non-Stop Infinite Climax difficulty. Went through it in a rather short amount of time so my hands got tired. Not as hard as I thought it was going to be as it turns out it is practically Hard with Witch Time being disabled, although not completely if you wear...

    General Gaming Megathread: What are you playing?

    Typical double-standards that journalists tend to flip-flop about. Change something, or keep it mostly the same, and they will complain either way. Not that sometimes it isn't true in both situations, but still. I'm not sure much can be done with the Arkham formula regardless. In particular...

    Doctor Who

    That's mostly how I felt. It certainly looks like Moffat doesn't plan that far ahead since some of those answers were basically throwaway lines, but it kind of ends up working simply because it was the end of 11th's time. Otherwise, most of it was a bore to watch with the special setting up...

    The Ultimate Movie Thread of Ultimate Destiny

    Yep, Dredd was pretty good. Straightforward story without pulling out any stupid twists, or diverging from its initial premise and trying to be more than what it sets out to be. Dystopian societies are a personal favorite setting of mine, and Dredd hits all the right notes on that front. I...

    General Gaming Megathread: What are you playing?

    Borderlands 2 It's okay for the most part, and I can see some of the appeal, but don't completely understand it. Co-op is nice and all, but making the game designed around that concept makes it too contemporary in a way. At least in Resident Evil 5, and 6 you can always play with the AI...

    Too trendy of a choice lately, but doesn't seem bad tbh 7/10

    The one thing you'd change in your life, if it were possible.

    I feel almost exactly the same way about sleeping. Last night I just didn't feel sleepy at all, or sometimes I'm up late at night finishing some work and I have to stop because I know I need to sleep. As a morning person, I dislike waking up past 8 AM so I try to never go to sleep too late...

    Fallout 1, 2 and Tactics free for 48 hours

    lol'd Already had these like most people probably would, but sure enough there are some stragglers out there. Didn't get these till a few years ago after F3 came out.

    The state of videogames

    Ha, I know what you mean, though. They're not at the forefront of the hype machine so they're easily overlooked. Short of following Platinum Games, it is probably rare to know of Anarchy Reigns. DDN is a downloadable title so it has even less exposure. Nah, unfortunately I never knew...

    The state of videogames

    Nonsense! Anarchy Reigns and Double Dragon Neon are real. But I do agree when it comes to stealth games, and the more action-oriented direction they've been taking as of late. While I enjoyed Hitman: Absolution, it isn't without its faults, more specifically about how blatantly the game...

    Hideo Kojima

    I don't usually mind having some lengthy cutscenes as they can be a nice breather for the player. Otherwise, yeah, the amount in his games can border on the ridiculous. The lowest amount of running time in his cutscenes has been 3 hours with MGS4 and 2 being 5 hours long. Probably why I...

    General Gaming Megathread: What are you playing?

    Shadow of the Colossus at the moment. I was playing Kingdoms of Amalur, but I decided to take a break and tackle something out of my backlog for a bit. Loved Ico, but I'm finding myself not being as immediately fond of its successor. Great music, nice visuals even in this day, and I love...

    Th4if no more.

    Only recently did I play Thief for first time for a little bit, but I've played enough stealth games to know how much like shit half of this sounds. Especially any nonsense of limiting the players for "immershun" shenanigans. Couple the lack of actual jumping with QTEs, more action-oriented...

    Metal Gear Solid V: The Visible Boob

    Well, my criticism wasn't that it was unrealistic coz all MGS games have generally been like that. But my wish is that the 'cone of vision' should extend to being able to see around corners to some extent. It's not like he was at that far of a distance, Snake was practically right next to him...

    Metal Gear Solid V: The Visible Boob

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9imLig0GrQA http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pe7U3IJZ4B4 I can somewhat understand Kojima's reasoning for the slow-motion, and the tagging, but I'm hoping their 'helpfulness' is diminished despite whatever difficulty may be added due to the game's open-world...

    Breaking Bad

    Latest episode felt like a good set-up for the finale. [spoiler:936e7647ba]I feel it is fitting that his last enemy is a bunch of Nazi dirtbags because that's the level he has sunk to (outside of living in a cabin in the middle of nowhere). That Gray Matter interview was so bittersweet to...

    Metal Gear Solid V: The Visible Boob

    Most of it is. I find MGS4 to be the lowest point in the series, and even worse is that it skewered everything that came before it. Practically changed how I felt about the series, and now I have nothing more than a passing interest. Still fun games to play, though. I still think the earlier...

    Metal Gear Solid V: The Visible Boob

    No release date as far as I know. Maybe we'll hear something at TGS next week. And yep, the music in MGS is usually good.
