Pixel art never bothered me but maybe that's because I grew up with the nes as my first console. I wonder if people who didn't grow up in the 8-16 bit eras are more or less inclined to accept that style than those who grew up in the 3d polygonal eras. Shovel Knight sat between 8-16 bit era visuals and i'll be damned that was easily one of the best games i played last year.

or maybe i'm just into playing good games and that stuff doesn't matter to me *pushes his glasses up, crosses his arms**

I grew up on the NES, I'm also glad we left it behind. Early 2D graphics are just as ugly as early 3D graphics.

I present to you: A game about Vinny's head

This is great

I'll wait for the Prepare to Bald edition with all the DLC packed in.

in 2015 I'm looking at one Yakuza game in Japanese, one in English, a Persona music game, and possibly a proper Persona game too

if literally no other games came out this year it'd still somehow be my favorite year for games in a while

Oh god, I completely forgot that Yakuza 5 is happening. This year is already better than most recent years and the stuff I'm actually excited for hasn't even come out yet.

Unfortunately I don't think PoE has any chance on the goty list this year. It looks like only Rorie will play it. Someone will probably mention it in the goty discussion, it'll get a few non-committal grunts and "ehhs", and then it'll be dropped.

I completely agree with you.

I think Vinny might play some of it, but I highly doubt anybody else will play it.

Any idea when Axiom Verge hits PC? I know it's been confirmed at some point.

Brad brings up a good point that this BL collection is meant for the people without a decent PC to play it on because that's exactly who the target audience is for. Its certainly not meant for the PC crowd.

But charging 60 dollars for it makes me doubt that idea because with that price it seems like its targeting the people who haven't played it yet, but still offers a way for fans to move their characters to next gen. It seems like it could be a good buy for 30-40, but for 60 its just too much, especially considering all the other games that have come out in the span of these last few weeks.

Wouldn't surprise me if a good number of games didn't do well this month. March has had a lot of games that I probably would've bought any other month but didn't just because of how much stuff came out.

Anything is better than last season's boring Mercedes bullshit.

I figured that I would be watching races for place 3 and back. Heck, F1 even shot the Australian GP as if Mercedes didn't exist. (Think they checked in with the Silver Arrows a couple times during the entire race.) It will be nice to follow the enitre field.

Don't care about him, but anything is better than last year. I had my money on Red Bull, though.

It could have been anyone in that car, but I find it funny that I was cheering for the former dominant champion over the current. Life is weird.

It includes all of the content for both games and isn't the presequel like 6 months old? I think it's a fair price but there's no excuse for not packing in BL1 while they were at it.

That's fair. Including all the DLC and stuff, 60 is a fair price (for anyone who hasn't bought/played the games anyway). But then you get to the quality vs quanity and price situation and it all turns subjective at that point.

[Freedom = $1.05]

all this recent talk and coverage about sonic and sonic-inspired games finally got me to boot up sonic 4 episode 1.

who the fuck thought that played well over at sega? It's as if someone set out to make sonic 2 again only the physics are busted and it looks ugly as hell.

I loaded up episode 2 to see if that was any better and it looks as if they took some of the criticisms to heart as the game both looks and plays infinitely better.

but man, i feel bad for sonic fans who were patiently waiting for episode 1 because that's a total turd.

First Giant Bomb popularizes the brand again and then the first episode promotes Amplitude by Harmonix. Collusion!

well, if the PS blog does a web show, why not reuse that name? maybe I'll even watch an episode

But honestly, I don't even think it'll come up.

Nope, but in my mind the bolded part is Dan and the "letting go" is Alex.

Its Dismissive Dan! Although Jeff also has that stance on fantasy, in a more Jeff way.

Alright here's how it sounds in my head:

Eh...its that type of game...just again you know? (Jeff) they kinda modernized and looks great (Brad)...not much else to it (Jeff)....i mean its just more nerdy fantasy stuff really right guys hahah (Dan)...Rorie is the only one who played it (anyone)....yeah im fine with letting it go..(Alex or Vinny)"

Dan's gonna be too busy pushing hard for MGS5 to be #1 to even care about anything else.

Maybe Alex too. I haven't been following GB enough to know how Alex feels about souls games though. It'd seem like it'd be his kind of game.
