I maintain that it is not the best time to be playing video games.

I think it might be a difficult time to be a part of creating video games for a living... But no doubt in my mind it's currently the best time to be playing them.
unless you like mid tier games or unique AAA games

I'd usually agree but I'm buying Dragon Quest VII 3ds, SMT4A, Picross 3d 2, Rez Infinite, Silver Case, and Virginia all in the span of one month. For a mid-tier game fan I'm eating pretty well out here.

It is. I'm juggling GEARS 4, Mafia 3 and Recore on Xbox One. PS4: Red Dead Revolver & No Man's Sky. 3DS: 999 & Phoenix Wright Trilogy.
I'm kind of going nuts. BF1 is also coming in this week with tons of games I'm sure after it once we enter November. I still haven't played FH3 and I was going to get it Day 1 but got busy with paper work and now I might as well get it later. I also want to play Obduction but I'm thinking of getting it early next year with Mario Paper when no more games are coming out. This also doesn't count the downloadable games that come out of no where and turn out good or great.
There has never been a better time to be playing video games

Holy shit
I just realized that the game the guys played on UPF, Smash and Grab, was from United Fronts
I wonder if they knew and tried to give it a little boost? Man that fucking sucks.

All I remember about last gen was endless brown shooters and motion controlled games.
Sadface...
Now I'll just have to pour all my hopes and dreams into Sleeping Nintendogs.

Well, I guess if Sony wants to revive ModNation Racers they'll have to go elsewhere. UFG made a fantastic kart racer in an era where kart racing felt beyond done. The creation aspect was clearly the best part, but they made a good racer. Had they not, the game would not have been any fun. Best of luck to all the guys there.
What you'll remember from this gen are remastered versions of those endless brown shooters and VR + motion controlled games.

Hard pass if legit.
We deserve this.
Know what's an overrated horror game? Amnesia. Holy shit was that boring.

Their first two games as a studio were Modnation Racers and Sleeping Dogs, which were up there with the best of two wildly different genres at the time. It's a shame those two didn't perform as well as they might in a perfect world and even more that they didn't really seem to land anything else after.

Apparently Battleborn's official site had the same whois domain as that site i posted.

well that could be the case but it would be somewhat odd if they are essentially hyping this aspect first but hey that gta online money is good so why not try to get more.
as said it should be interesting

Oh my god. To test out my theory if I'm burned out on open world sandboxes I booted up Saints Row 3 today
The shooting in this is terrible. Why is there so much of it?

Since the beginning of this gen I had a terrible time with open world games (especially Ubisoft games).

While they never made a ModNation 2, they did make LBP Karting. In a way, that was a second shot. Unfortunately, I think the latter sold even fewer games than MNR (I did enjoy Giant Bomb's Quick Look of it, though). I had high hopes for the ModNation brand. I thought it could branch out into other genres (i.e. ModNation Shooter, ModNation Fighter, etc.)

I remember when Sleeping Dogs was True Crime Hong Kong.

Oh man, now I remembered True Crime LA & NY.
Wasn't the Benz a big proponent of GTA online?

if that lawsuit is to be believed he would actually.
Why is the Powerbombcast still alive then?

No, it's like the culmination of everyone else at Grasshopper clumsily attempting to ape Suda's style while Suda is off doing god knows what (probably playing Burnout Paradise).

It's alright but I think you're better off playing Shadows of the Damned or Lollipop Chainsaw.

Or No More Heroes on Wii.* Or No More Heroes 2. Or Killer 7. Or Flower, Sun, and Rain. Or fucking Samurai Champloo: Sidetracked. I haven't played The Silver Case, but it's probably better than Killer is Dead.
*I'm currently playing the PS3 version, and it's fucking abominable. I think it performs worse than the Wii original, which is insane. I've never seen more screen tearing, and there are frequent bouts of slowdown. The controls feel weird, especially the Move controls, which are just completely fucked. And there's no Heavenly Star!

Pretty much, I did enjoy it though however, it could have been WAY BETTER. I'm really excited to try out The Silver Case but too many games on the plate at the moment and not enough time.
