Well there is such a thing as greek fire.

Though why anyone would use barrels of the stuff as cover, who knows. Or why a javelin would ignite it.
Is it lazier than Fallout 3's cars exploding?
Those were future-past cars with engines that ran on fusion power cells. Of course they'd last forever and blow up when shot.
The dumber and easier an action game is, the more Brad likes it.

Listening to the bombcast.
How many Xbox Ones did MS send GB?
Brad and Jeff both have Home units. I think they have 2 in the office.
Thats almost as many as my local game shop has day 1. lol.

Jeff has been taking his back and forth between home and the office.
Sounds like they probably have three or four.

Don't they only have one Wii U? Lol
Yet another thing Ryse and Knack have in common, only the Knack QL was even longer.
Patrick mentioned somewhere, I think, that he partially came back to the office to "pick up his Xbox", so he might be getting one.
Makes sense, as he can stream and quick look some indie games coming out for it.
Explains his DmC review! *zing*
But what does that tell me about Uncharted 2 & 3?
I'm like that with RTS games. Dawn of War II on Easy was still a challenge for me, and was all the RTS I could handle and still have fun.
I didn't mean action games to include third person shooters.

I want Shadow of Rome 2 with this technology. it basically seems like a tech demo with a bunch of arena fights strung together but there's not nearly enough 'meat' there as an actual game. Not enough moves, not enough enemy variety etc.
Yeah all the gladiator stuff in Shadow of Rome are better then whatever Ryse offers. I actually really wanted a sequel to that game. They had a good foundation, they basically just needed to get rid of the bad stealth sections.

It's particularly weird because I thought the whole point of giant square icons was to make them seem more tactile and easy to touch...on a touch screen. It always seems odd to me to have uneven squares and yet you can only move around the menu in four directions.

I wouldn't say it will last the whole generation but it looks like it will be prominent in some titles for the next few years.

Such a great game. Shadow of Rome 2 became Dead Rising. If you look at Dead Rising 3 you can see some Shadow of Rome type moves in there.
It's to make it easier to navigate with Kinect.
There's multiplayer?

Any content today aside from the Ryse QL?

No, I'm sure first/second party games will fall in line with whichever Microsoft initiative comes next after they're bored with (or given up on) the 'New UI'/Metro/pseudo-touch stuff. Especially so now that Xbox has no evangelist like J Allard who was willing to upset other departments by not falling in line.
Fun fact, a long time ago I interned at the design company that created the original 360 'blades' UI (yes, they know it wasn't great, but it fit the design spec at the time which was for a fraction of the content that eventually ended up there), they got the contract because Allard and his team were determined to keep Microsoft out of the design process as much as possible. How times have changed.

I think the groundwork set in place by Ryse is fantastic. But the combat and gameplay seems to need a lot more variety. The things they avoided; magic, loot, monsters, should be added if there is ever a sequel.
It's recognition of a pattern.

And then the LORD David Bowie saith to his Son, Jonny Depp: 'Go, and spread my image amongst the cosmos. For every living thing is in anguish and only the LIGHT shall give them reprieve.'
Do they typically wait until December to work on their GOTY vids, or with Patrick there for a week do they start on them this early? They seem to get increasingly involved each year.

I kinda think they should stick to the realistic tone. The main problem is the lack of depth not the lack of fantasy. If they have the team to do it, they can make something very interesting with this base simply for the fact that the setting and ambiance are rare

I dont know if they addressed this or not. But they should do GOTG
Yeah doesn't look like it. Pretty disappointing.
They must be pretty busy working on Xbone reviews and stuff.
Naaah he is going to be there tomorrow for the Xbox One stream. That was the whole point of hm coming back, so he can be there for this stuff.

There are still games coming out of for 360/PS3. Well, Dark Souls 2 anyway.

Not trying to dismiss that
but 1) I dont think that one would take Dark Souls 1 place (and i dont think they would put both) 2) I have my suspicion that it will come out to PS4/Xbone 3) With GTA V and The Last of Us this generation "feels" like it ended, alongside the new consoles
i know these may not be the most scientific arguments
but I think 8 years is more than enough (because in all seriousness, there will be a lot of games coming to ps360 in the coming years, but that kind of lists are always valuable for conversation -healthy- sake)
