BTW guys.

"Los Santos is bigger than RDR, GTA IV and San Andreas combined."

You can explore underwater sections of the city.

Wow.

I'm calling bullshit. Didn't they say that GTA4 was also bigger than San Andreas? The only way GTA 5 is bigger is if it contains the other 2 cities. If not than this is sure to be a watered down San Andreas. San Andreas is pretty much the worst thing that happened to GTA, because they will never be as ambitious again. Welcome to the current generation I guess.

Why is that a positive? These gigantic open world games need to learn that big isn't always best. <insert joke>

San Andreas was the exception. You are telling me it wasn't awesome exploring the country side, sneaking into Area 51 and exploring the Grand Canyon? Not to mention the San Francisco and Vegas areas were lots of fun to explore....more so the Vegas portion which was one of the best parts of the game.

 

[alr1ght]

The only way giant worlds are fun to explore is if the traversal mechanics are awesome. Think Infamous 2 levels of getting around. Ice launch into the air, grind a rail up the side of a building, then hover 500 feet with whatever that hand hover power is called. It's super fun just getting around. It becomes tedious when you're grounded in reality.

Maybe I can insta-spawn a jetpack.

There are three main characters in the game and switching them takes them to different areas. Problem solved.

 

[RBelong2Us]

they said when you take into account the exterior and interior of the game, it's bigger than all of those games combined.

Not really. I'll probably play it for 15-20 hours and get bored with it like most GTAs.

Strikeforce on Jan. 12: Melendez-Healy, Rockhold-Larkin, Marquardt-Saffiedine title fights

MMAjunkie.com today confirmed with company officials the bouts include lightweight champion Gilbert Melendez (21-2 MMA, 11-1 SF) vs. Pat Healy (28-16 MMA, 6-1 SF), middleweight champion Luke Rockhold (10-1 MMA, 9-0 SF) vs. Lorenz Larkin (13-0 MMA, 4-0 SF), and welterweight champion Nate Marquardt (32-10-2 MMA, 1-0 SF) vs. Tarec Saffiedine (13-3 MMA, 3-1 SF).

Additionally, Daniel Cormier (10-0 MMA, 7-0 SF) will fight fellow heavyweight Dion Staring (28-7 MMA, 0-0 SF) at the Jan. 12 event.

 

[tass0]

I don't even care, I just want to see DC in the UFC already.

Dion "Stop" Staring

SUPER STACKED CARD

 

[A More Normal Bird]

I should not be having to google Cormier's opponent. But now I know that he is (was?) Overeem's sparring partner and he lost to Nog Minor in 2009. They couldn't keep Mur?

Just Cause 2, bitch.

Just Cause 2 was fuckin awesome. I loved just zip lining myself towards something and then releasing the parachute and flying around. Flying around in that little plane was cool too.

I guess Mur hadn't fully recovered from his injury yet.

Rousey becomes 1st female fighter in the UFC

http://www.tmz.com/2012/11/08/ronda-rousey-female-fighter-ufc-fighter/


EDIT: TMZ is also reporting that the January Strikeforce event will be the promotions last. Since when did TMZ start breaking mma exclusives? Whatever though. I dig it.

 

[alr1ght]

Uncle Dana really wants to hit that.

So after Honda beats all of two women, thus clearing out the division, will she challenge Dominick Cruz for the 135 title?

So it'll happen 5 years too late, after Rousey blows out her knee and Cruz takes a fun fight for the fans at 145 lbs. against Cody McKenzie.

Today because of twitter I found out what a heeldo is

 

[polyh3dron]

So it's official, Strikeforce's January show is their last show, all fighters are absorbed into the UFC after.

Finally Melendez will be exposed as the can he is.

Real talk, San Andreas sucked. It was too big, a lot of empty useless space. There was no real reward for collecting shit. The fill up the bars for everything mechanics were annoying and a shallow way of trying to create leveling up depth. The gameplay was dumb and goofy but the story tried to play it straight which created a really jarring contradiction.

Just Cause 2, bitch.

Just Cause 2 is GTA:SA actually done correctly.

I don't even care, I just want to see DC in the UFC already.

Another victim of Heel's curse.

Friends, how salty is Dana going to be when Cyborg crushes Honda and becomes the face of womens mma?

 

[bone_and_sinew]

Gil vs Eddie.

Do it Joe Silver.

Winner of that gets a title shot after Young Anthony Pettis beats Sawronnay and gets his shot. 155 has too much damn talent for fucking rematches.

 

[Heel]

We all know damn well in hindsight that Gil would've sprawled and two pieced that fraud Frankie until it looked like he'd stolen a slice of abuela Melendez's famous rhubarb pie.

If Eddie wants it he can get it too.

 

[bone_and_sinew]

Boy I can't wait for when Anderson says Luke Rockhold isn't famous enough for a title shot and he gets the Chris Weidman treatment.

Also, Mousasi vs Glover. Do it Joe Silver!

 

[ItAintEasyBeinCheesy]

Need the Denzel pic where he's got his hands together smiling.... please.

 

[industrian]

Boy I can't wait for when Anderson says Luke Rockhold isn't famous enough for a title shot and he gets the Chris Weidman treatment.

Rockhold would struggle to win a split decision against Jason MacDonald. Any top-tier UFC middleweight worth their salt would devastate him. Hell, Buddy Roberts could probably squeeze a decision from him. If there needs to be a title unification match then Anderson wouldn't even break a sweat in taking him to school.

Which does bring up the question of unification bouts, considering there's only Rockhold, Nate and Gil. I can see all three of them getting the Pettis treatment unless Silva vs. GSP falls through and Benson runs away to a split 48-47 against Diaz.

 

[TheChits]

The card tomorrow is going to be awesome. I probably shouldn't be very excited for Franklin/Le, but I am.

 

[Maklershed]

On one hand I'm happy about getting the SF fighters because we'll have Nate the Great and Mousasi but on the other hand we'll have to endure the mind numbing boredom of Tyrone Woodley.

 

[sazabirules]

Has Mousasi completely healed from his torn ACL?

 

[charsace]

This pic is so funny. A little bit of titty is touching his arm and he looks so embarrassed.

 

[industrian]

The great thing being that it's not in the morning for us dudes in Asia. And it's live on TV for me . I just hope to hell they don't have Chinese commentators though, even if I have to put up with the B-Team of Florian and that other dude.

Has Mousasi completely healed from his torn ACL?

He should be fight-ready for the final Strikeforce event. It'd be a bit of a shame if he missed out on the final event. Or maybe he's going to be involved in the DREAM event - considering he's still their LHW and (technically-speaking-maybe-considered) MW Champ and all.

 

[MjFrancis]

UFC Macao is going to be one of those fun cards that flies under everyone's radar.

I had no idea DREAM was still in on the NYE thing. I thought they folded earlier in the year.
