So Modern Warfare 3 was fucking awesome. Could not have finished the trilogy any better. Fucking bombastic and fun as hell. Last level was fantastic and they tied it all in together really well. Some melancholy about how some things turn out but I wasn't expecting it to end in a rap song over the American flag or anything. Captain Price is damn cool. Insane that they had 5 studios working on it but I think that is more indicative of how Activision has gutted the studios and lumped them all together. The campaign only lasted about 5 hours apparently but it was brilliant from start to finish, shits all over Black Ops. Also noticed that Paul Haggis was involved in the writing. Thought the graphics looked great on PC, nothing mind blowing but I wasn't offended and was in awe of some setpieces. DAT PARIS MISSION.
I see that MW3 Vs. BF3 is quite the pissing match actually. It is like DS Vs. PSP all over again.
At least the shining moment of Guitar Hero was to bring us an un-mixed version of Death Magnetic. Thanks Bobby!
Have you NEVER played Timesplitters 2? It is obvious where the greatness of Goldeneye came from, and went to.
I will always have a special place in my heart for KMart though since that is where I bought The Downward Spiral from back in the day. They also had the tastiest fucking Cheeseburgers in the diner they used to have built in too! I would kill to see them come back!
Also the pirates have had LA Noire for 2 days now Choc.
Seriously though the dual wield looks like it will be fun at the least.
commercial religious holidays!
He also broke into the study today and got Shadows of the Damned up and running before I found him. Thankfully he didn't get to a checkpoint and ruin my red gem run, the little bugger.
Maybe we could start some kind of trade system just with paying for postage?

$35 at a site I guess I am not allowed to talk about on GAF any more? The key I got for RAGE wasn't Russian but I won't bring it up any more in case the mods get an itchy trigger finger.markot said:
All right! No more I promise! From this day forth I shall track down each and every business that I advertise to others and beat the shit out of them until they confess to whether or not they have ever bought something from mother Russia. In mother Russia, key IS you.Sutton Dagger said:So any talk of CD-key sites will result in a ban...Reptile you better not mention Intkeys ever again
Wait? What? Fuck this shit! I still like buying CD's! I still buy new records too! Although 320kbps is fine for my ears I would prefer to pick it up as a physical product too! What the hell is going to happen to album art now?Danoss said:
Depends on the producer/mixer and whether or not the band is worth listening to. I will pull out my music snob card and say most of what I listen to is created to sound good through a quality pair of stereo headphones.codswallop said:
Californication too.Danoss said:

Day One patch 1.2 confirmed.Aon said:
Just like the launch of the 360, get everyone hooked on XBLA games and then BAM. RROD. You want access to those games? Buy another 360! /tinfoilhatof+4intelligencepilonv1 said:
The intense whining and picking apart games to the point where even not having support for the colour blind makes it a slight against all gamers who ever existed has meant I haven't been reading many threads lately.commissar said:
Fuck, RAGE is so good I would even PAY to play it! It makes me wish that iD could some more damn games out before the next decade hits. The gunplay is top of the genre easily and the animation and driving and so much better than I ever thought possible for the title. I actually LOVE driving around in that buggy all the time. Hopefully they get some kind of DLC up and running for it. And the wingstick! I can see a lot of games trying to copy it in the future. Such a damn fun melee attack.commissar said:
I would prefer a decent COD clone to a decent Skyrim clone. Nothing has been worthwhile aside from the recent Battlefield campaign, at least that was a nice step up from Bad Company.Sutton Dagger said:
Most people I know get paid at like midnight on Thursday night and at least here and in Geelong late night shopping is a Friday night. In any case who cares what day a game is released, if anything Friday or Saturday would be better for midnight launches or making a big deal out of it since the average age of the gamer is of someone with a damn job.Danoss said:
Why? Because ze pirates can get their hands on it early and upload to the interwebs where it has already been for days? If publishers continue to delay release in Australia more and more people will import, meaning less and less money for publishers as people are buying it cheaper and giving the difference to the companies who allow them access.Choc said:
The developers are certainly the peasants in the industry with the publishers treating them however they want and taking a nice bit cut of the profits for ponying up the startup cash. As this generation goes on at least it seems like more and more developers have been able to self-fund to a better degree than at the release of the PS3/360.Fredescu said:
At least it isn't unethical.Choc said:
Last time I saw a non-huge chain store selling games was Game Traders, and they closed down in Geelong back in 2006 or so. Shit, even GAME pulled out of Geelong last year. Pre-order exclusives and tie-in advertising are the main killers.Clipper said:
I would love to see this happen, will give a bit more weight to the review knowing that they had to throw down cold hard cash just like I would have to. To be honest it makes me a little more trusting and accepting of Vooks reviews that he isn't sucking at the corporate teat.Danoss said:
Really? I have only played SP but there wasn't any overlap from the previous games. One building texture from the first MW was used in a map in MW3. Not sure how much further it goes than that and it could be a purposeful tip-of-the-hat to the earlier title. That isn't inflammatory enough for GAF these days though.Marshmellow said:
It all started when Kerrby showed his great respect and appreciation for Legend and swore his undying love for him and the Swans. Next time don't get banned.markot said:
So I'm not the only one? I didn't want to admit it here lest I get drawn and quartered for the unpopular opinion!Rezbit said:
How can you be neutral about something that you despise?Marshmellow said:

To be honest I can't remember the last CD I bought somewhere other than JB? Sanity has been a shitty sea of overpriced DVD's for years now and all the Leading Edge's have shut down or (also) turned to shit.midonnay said:

Does this mean you are fired? If Bethesda cracked the sads so hard over Scrolls I would hate to think what they will do to you!Gazunta said:Well, that's that then.
Retail stores don't care about PC gamers. Didn't it come out yesterday on Steam? Or was that GMG? Am I still allowed to talk about GMG? Fuck I am paranoid now!Choc said:
Also the pirates have had LA Noire for 2 days now Choc.
Like all of the game then?Kritz said:
Seriously though the dual wield looks like it will be fun at the least.
I don't think you would find ANYONE outside of EB and EB shareholders who would disagree with that. They have many shitty business practises and bloat an already overburdened supply chain but I don't care about them breaking street date.Choc said:
I owe you a coke (or similarly priced beverage) good sire.Kritz said:
You didn't buy it from a local retailer though so no one was hurt! Or wait, does that make you a pirate? Since you plundered a better price from a poor, defenceless carrier across the sea? Think of their children back home at Port!Omi said:Seriously. Street breaks make my week.
My copy was in the post yesterday. Oh noes choc!
Possible bonus sale of Skyrim. Were you planing on picking it up tomorrow or was this break enough to convince you to buy now rather than a month or two down the track?BaptistBlacktick said:

Their internet order monkey only works Tuesdays. Might even be only a half day with the latest budget cuts actually.Axiom said:In the meantime, my Game.com.au order is still stuck at pending.
I'm on your block list aren't I? Wait, why am I asking since you can't read this anyway?RandomVince said:
MW3 up 33% on Black Ops and 50% on MW2. I give it 4 more years before the crash and burn. Depends on how Sledgehammer follows up MW3.jambo said:
The leak was coming from INSIDE the internets? Quick turn off the internets before he steals it all!Jintor said:
Hope we didn't give the little shit any money to entice him to come over here. Not a fan of Scott but damnnnnnnnnnnn that Albatross was nice! Mmmm. Alba.Rezbit said:
Been hearing it around the shops since July chap. Man the economy does loveBananaArnie said:
HAS to be in the title along with 5/5. Maybe something about importing too.Fogz said:
KMart released their catalogue with it Out Now a few days ago and had to put up signs saying "Sorry but the publisher has changed the release date at the last minute". lolRahk said:
Everyone who was around at the end got on the poster! Someone should organise it ahead of time for the new thread. I vote Kritz. Go to work comic boy. Hips and nips, work it.shanshan310 said:Put me on the poster next time
I am actually tempted to pick up a copy as the cover looks damn awesome. Love the style. Doubt I would read it though.Shaneus said:
But we need this stuff archived on the internet in case we start dropping dead one by one and need to do some cool Hardy Boys shit to investigate which one of us is the killer! Or do you guys prefer Nancy Drew? Nah Hardy Boys were the shit.shanshan310 said:
We did it early too just because he was getting too active and impatient. Getting him into a bed next week now that he is running around everywhere. My new favourite thing about little kids is the way they point their pinky fingers out when they do anything. Looks so dainty and hilarious when he is eating a bit of toast or trying to climb his slide.Omi said:Officially had to drop the kids cot today due to him thinking standing up in it was a great idea. That isn't something you should be doing at 7 months ffs :x
He isn't really a 'baby' anymore I guess
He also broke into the study today and got Shadows of the Damned up and running before I found him. Thankfully he didn't get to a checkpoint and ruin my red gem run, the little bugger.
That is damn cool, loved doing it with books amongst some friends.Choc said:i like this idea
yes the idea guys is that when legned finishes it it gets passed on like UC2
so we have a community copy of Uc3
Maybe we could start some kind of trade system just with paying for postage?

Jesus Christ.
Tribes Ascend is fucking amazing, and I only have shitty access to the two base classes and all I'm doing is rocketing around with a spinfusor and skiis. Goddamn. It's a pity the UI is like 90's level of clunkiness.
I'm seriously considering shelling out for the VIP pass. Yeah, 'm considering PAYING for BETA (Although progression transfers into full game, so you're just paying for the full game early essentially)

As long as I'm getting quoted in megaposts, I'm happy with megaposts.
Shaneus showed me some love before so I'm all good.

That was a massive quote-post.
This thread is an example of why I tend to avoid traveling outside AusGAF. The amount of misogyny is embarrassing. The cries of "serious first world problems here", "would", "FTFY", "u mad" and, worst of all, "butthurt" from drive-by posts really shines GAF in a poor light.

Did my 11:11 post bring upon the Skyrim apocolaunch?
I lolled quite heartily. I had nothing to add! Everything had been tied with a bow in a nice little package!3chopl0x said:
trinest said:
This again? The bottom line here is that big tobacco are concerned enough about the impact of plain packaging on their profits to spend millions hiring public relations companies, setting up lobby groups (Alliance of Australian Retailers) and launching legal action based on bilateral trade agreements with Hong Kong (British American Tobacco).
The retailers lobby groups argue that plain packaging will impact the livelihood of small business through decreased sales and British American Tobacco is prepared to take the government to the high court to show that removing their ability to brand products in unconstitutional and violates their competitive rights under Australia's trade agreements.
At the same time, however, we've got media coming out of their PR firms claiming that plain packaging won't do anything and will be a waste of government spending, so why bother?
It doesn't take a marketing genius to realise you can't have it both ways and that ultimately, these companies understand the impact of marketing on their profits and will fight back when those profits are threatened. And if their profits are threatened by the potential for decreased sales, then it's fairly clear that plain packaging will be doing something.

Currently polling second in Australia's federal election (first in the Gold Coast), this feral may one day be your Bogan King.
The sooner this generation is over the sooner I can get fancy high resolution textures and none of this pixellated junk *looking at you RAGE*.

Dex are behind the majority of mine, funnily enough. Looking back, it's pretty easy to spot when my ADD is under control from it and when it's running rampant. The fact I'm doing one or two quotes a post should give some indicationBanShunsaku said:

That's true. Only reason I wade into those threads anymore is to see the mass-bannings along with the beleaguered, but well-reasoned, discussion on behalf of Cyan/Technomancer/Orayn/Devolution.

Damn! I stopped collecting his books around The Dome and I've since boxed them all and put them in storage (pretty sure I've got all of them except for some of the obscure magazine-only shorts) but that's enough to make me wanna start up again!
Although I'll probably just get the 5 buck ebook instead.

am I correct in assuming MW3 does support dedicated servers- but only for private non-ranked games? The rest is p2p like MW2? Or am I missing a setting?
