Then he would be wrong. Pandora Tomorrow had far superior VS mode and co-op was laggy.
Only really liked the first one, as jint said, MP was fun. Only played that in the second game though.

Kingaroy or Ippy Grammar?
I forgot about Splinter Cell. It could be cool if it isn't as action-y as the trailer suggested. I need some stealthiness. Although I'm not sure I've played one since the first or second. It was probably time for a new take on it
And despite GAFs hatred for the 360s media hub abilities I fucking love it. If I could watch NHL games on it I'd be like a pig in shit. I won't because rights etc, but still I like the fact I can do all this rad IPTV and video stuff on my console.
Well, of course you'd read one after the other. Couldn't very well read them at the same time.

I like the cut of your...
The LP kind of crept up on me. Didn't know it was coming so soon! Only knew about new Hot Chip because one of my friends is obsessed with Flutes and another the same with Night & Day.

lol Inversion. Namco sent you out to die today.
Gaz! Sonic & SEGA All-Stars Racing free for iPhone & iPad
Vook! Logitech G930's for $140 from LogitechShop!
Tempted to grab the Logitech Wireless Touch Keyboard K400 for $40 delivered too. Looks like a good HTPC keyboard.
Big W have 11x14 Enlargement Prints for A DOLLAR from Thursday for 2 weeks! Will grab a few next weekend in Geelong. Awesome awesome deal.
New Gears by the Painkiller/Bulletstorm guys looks AWESOME MP-wise even though I don't go in for those kinds of shenanigans
Tomb Raider looks really good still
Most Wanted looks like the Burnout sequel I always wanted
Star Wars 1313 looks like a highly scripted Uncharted clone, which says something
New Sucker Punch project is very intriguing and I am hoping that it is revealed tomorrow rather than Thursday
The Last of Us looks AWESOME still, looks like pretty harrowing stuff
Black Ops 2 looks to take interactive movie gaming to another level (with even less interaction needed than ever!)
Dead Space 3 sounds great with the drop out co-op that actually removes all the 2nd player related stuff from the game, sounds really fantastic

Everybody better buy Rayman this time!
Beyond: Two Souls and Watch_Dogs take it for me, mainly because they look super interesting and not just an iteration of stuff that I have already been playing.

I've got one. Haven't used it yet though.
That RPS piece is spot on.

Any chance you will be giving it a burl sometime soon? Mainly want to know how comfortable it is and its suitability for internet browsing/typing.
For that price it seems like a good pickup.

Really? I only saw the WiiU footage was there more? It looked pretty much more of the same. Which is cool but not exactly world changing stuff.
That MCV article probably reflects my current feelings. There are a lot of incredibly clever people in the industry. They've got to be working on cool shit somewhere, and at this stage of the console lifespan chances are the best and brightest are looking to the next one.
And despite that there are still a bunch of rad as shit games coming out.
The RPS one is pretty indicative of this overwhelming negativity that is starting to shit me. The industry is changing and people have to come to terms with that. It's not little niche hobby anymore.
I guess I'm just a more optimistic person. I've been shoveled a fair bit of shit recently, but I still remember most of the cool stuff we've had to play over the last couple of years.

ausgaf moving in together sounds weird
Thanks Reptile! Sonic and Sega All Stars is a lovely game to play on the iPad, and I recommend it. I bought it on 360 and the iOS is a great alternative that doesn't take up the TV to play.
Did anyone here order a YouTube video of Ella Morton lying in bed thinking about how pretty she is? Well, here it is anyway.
The most fun I've had with E3 so far is posting on Twitter as Brendan Brewer and watching people take him seriously.
Last Of Us has been my favourite video so far. Damn, that looks good.
Watch Dogs had me until the scene with the guy losing his wife in the car. Then the game went from interesting to the adventures of a sociopath.
So much misery and suffering in the E3 videos so far. And yes I know I'm being hypocritical after just praising Last of Us.

Personally, I think more games should explore sociopathy, given how common it is in videogames - and, more importantly, how ignored.
I was watching the Tomb Raider trailer today and the dissonance between Lara being all bloodied and battered while murdering around twenty people without a second thought or an additional comment was quite striking.

Was apparently only okay though.
Metal gear???! Rose I killed a man, put a gun against his head pulled the trigger now he's dead!

Cheers. Pity apple downloads are so slow at home.
Also finished cut the rope yesterday, awesome game. Good suggestion.
Played it on xbox live. Lots. Still the best online multiplayer Ive ever had the pleasure of, provided you could get 4 people together who wanted to make it work and keep improving. Sadly, it was impossible to maintain that regularly.
Splinter Cell (Conviction) and this new one are fine because they are decent single player once-through affairs, with nice ways to approach scenarios. Brain in neutral, play it like an episode of 24 and youre good to go. It helps that the character is actually fluid to control now, like the spies in SCPT vs mode.
/////
Just finished the xbox live stream. In order the highlights for me were:
1. Splinter cell
2. Halo 4 not being crap like halo 3
3. South park comment about smartphones in the fridge
Overall its the worst conference Ive had the pleasure of watching, because it had no redeeming unintended comedy like the nintendo 2008 one. The fact that it ended with a flat, drag-on-too-long CoD BO2 segment was the icing on the cake. Never have I been so uninspired with a video as that one.
I hope to god that nintendo are not courting that end of the market.

Won't the Olympics be on at like midnight every night anyway?
Oh good. Scotland beat Australia in a boring, wet kick fest. Glad I bailed at half time. They better pick up their game if they have a dream of touching Wales.

They don't do that already.
Did you see the introduction video and the guy from Ubi explain the guy you were playing?
You weren't meant to be a nice guy at all. You hated everything and everyone, for the most part.

FUCK YOU 2013 WHY ARE NEXT YEAR AND NOT THIS YEAR I NEED SOME MORE GAMES TO BUY AND ARCHIVE AND NEVER FUCKING PLAY ALREADY
EDIT: Also Elite Force 1&2, how did I forget them!?!
Klingon Honor Guard was an AWERSOME FPS. Also what you described sounds a bit like the Online game. Also there is a pretty cool looking Mass Effect clone called Star Trek coming soon!
EDIT: Also Elite Force 1&2, how did I forget them!?!
To be honest that was when I sat up and said, "this is a fucking game I need to have". Doing something more than just a cool gimic is what I am after. Seems like it could have it in spades, like Last of Us.
She didn't kill many people! Also it looked great fun, which is strange to say when she is going through hell. Looks to be a coming of age thing where she struggles against adversity and then becomes a strong, worldly adventurer capable of surviving in the shit.
That is where the real money is!
Any direct link to the South Park comment? Only watched the trailer.
It's called my PC!
I'm tempted to take a break and tally up the amount of npc's murdered on-stage over the last couple of conferences.
As for Lara:
Arrow'd dudes in head, pushed guy off cliff, shotgunned guy in face, crushed men with barrels, exploded canister in two dude's faces, dropped pitch lamp on two dude's faces and burned them alive, peppered some other dude with flaming arrows.

Poms have more money than sense. Also it isn't her birthday you twit!
Thanks! The delivery was perfect lol
Pfft! Only the shotgunned guy died! The rest were just flesh wounds!
Atta girl.
Tomb Raider looked incredibly linear, like uncharted. That was fine 3 years ago, but now its a bit old and transparent. Only so many times can one "play" through a heart-in-mouth action sequence where slight analog stick inputs have subtle-yet-trivial effects before the wow wears off.
If it was exploration based and had HD T-Rex encounters I might be more inclined. For now, it's not standing out.

New Turok. Day 1. Unless it's like the previous Turoks. Which were turd

Most like... it sounds awesome.
Same here
Last of Us felt off as well, maybe because the guys they were shooting didn't seem all that bad. Did anyone else mix up last of us and beyond? ...Just me?I want to cut my ears off now.
Pfft.. it wasn't fine 3 years ago either.

That is the whole point! Rather than just a sushi train of bad guys to kill by the boatloads every person you kill now weighs a little more on you. Makes you think more about the consequence of your choices and the shit that the actual characters are meant to be going through.Same here
Same with Watch_Dogs. You play an amoral arsehole but he isn't interested in getting civilians killed. If it takes no effort from him he will avoid collateral damage as it is no skin off his arse and will mean the heat on him isn't as bad.
Same here
Felt like the other guys were looking to clear out buildings of those weirdo mutants.
How come you never are allowed to show mercy in games? You almost always have to kill... If you injure them,you have to finish en off, hell even in wow if the enemies try to flee in fear you have to chase em down and kill em.
Something that's been bugging me for ages, 256 death animations, no other options...

Plenty offer melee takedowns. Usually with the combatant rolling on the ground in agony.
Could see this in the Watch_Dogs trailer.
New Splinter Cell is fucking brutal though, in an over the top stupid way.
