Who is "we"? Because I'm pretty sure "we" is the wrong group of people who will decide such things. "We" get to call System Shock 2 the greatest. The new "we" gets to talk about how brilliant it is that Dragon Age Inquisition has so much content, or how chatting up a fake bird is awesome while posting endlessly about anime bullshit in the steam thread.

"We" have had our day.

Also Demons/Dark Souls.

Dude... it's morning over here in US East. It's way too early for me to accept the reality of being crusty and old. I need a little idealism with my coffee.

Let me think I'm the "we" for just a little while longer. I'll pass that torch, eventually. More likely, it'll be taken.

Spoiler

Yeah, you're right.

EDIT:

Revisiting this. I think this is still par for the course.

The vast majority of people will claim XXXXX (Firefly, Freaks and Geeks, whatever) is the greatest show ever and couldn't understand why it got cancelled, while the reality is that everybody was actually yucking it up with some ghastly, unwatchable shit like Friends. The bestselling record in the US the year the first Velvet album came out was "More of the Monkees."

If there's a current of games taking influence from what we (meaning you and I, not the new we) call classics, that's where the real vein of creativity can possibly head. Inquisition will go the way of the Monkees. We and the new we will remember it the way we remember them... "They were, uh, popular?"

We can be the we, still.

ooooh ... EVOLAND 2 trailer!!!!

No horror genre? No buy.

 

[Tizoc]

Lord of the Rings War in the North looks more hack and slash than an RPG, guess I'll play that next

iT'S ok from what little I played but it didn't catch my interest :/

 

[Freedom = $1.05]

Lord of the Rings War in the North looks more hack and slash than an RPG, guess I'll play that next

It's a loot-RPG that plays as a pretty decent hack and slash. I played it coop with my brother and we really enjoyed it for what it was. But it's definitely got some loot stuff in there.

 

[derExperte]

NOT A HERO seems to be out.

Almost finished Flame Over.

Grabbed 3D Thunder Blade.

Three hours 'til Axiom Verge.

Super fun in coop mode and IMO better Diablo game than Diablo 3.

yeah looks sorta generic from just watching videos, but I guess I'll give it a try, I usually end up enjoying hack and slash games

hmm I wonder how soloing will be, I read that you can't really switch party members or level them until you reach a checkpoint or something

It's unlocking two hours before the store update, so just a little over one until it releases.

Actually now that you mention it, this kind of game would be best played co-op.

Was that a Layton 'Oi've solved the puzzle' scene there?

 

[Parsnip]

Axiom Verge is 1 hour or so?

ooooh ... EVOLAND 2 trailer!!!!

Looks more mishmashofdifferentgenresland.
Lets hope the game itself is actually better this time, the first one was kind of shitty after they ran out of the evolution gimmick.

 

[someguyinahat]

Was that a Layton 'Oi've solved the puzzle' scene there?

Yeah, it was.

I don't mind that it's no longer an RPG history, and game genre mishmashes can be fun, as long as there's a little depth to it. I found the trailer pretty exciting. It *looks* like they've learned something after the first one? But we'll have to see once it's actually released.

RollerCoaster Tycoon reboot changes developers....again.

A new team is now in charge, and has been for quite some time. You have not yet seen any of the work delivered by this new team since the trailer was prepared using one of the last builds done by Area 52 Games.

I don't get why anyone has a problem with the review. It's not like he gave it a low score or anything. There's no such thing as an objective review. Games can and should be criticized, and even if you disagree with his opinion, you shouldn't shut down the discussion by ridiculing him.

Damn all these games not being 100% accurate representations of real life.

I tend to be LTTP with birthdays, and a bit shy in saying anything in case I'm like a day late or something...

...but with the best part of a few hours still to go: Happy Birthday, resident guru Jase! Hope you've had a great day, mate. It's as good a time as any to thank you again for all the knowledge, insight, and general goodness you share so willingly here - it is appreciated, cheers.

How does Rise of the Triad compare to Double Action: Boogaloo?

well, that explains how Brock Lesnar arrived in Victorian london. He mustve used one of those fancy time travel trains from back to the future.

yeah...Not A Hero is out but none of the Special Edition bonuses downloaded at all so I don't know what's going on with that...waiting to see what Roll 7/Devolver Digital has to say about it but nothing so far

 

[derExperte]

By 'almost' I meant 4-2. Ran out of time and I'm crap at avoiding the ghost. But it was a bad run overall, couldn't complete most of the missions because the quest giver died so I was missing a few minutes.

That Konami thread makes me so upset. One of my all time favorite pubs is turning into such a shell of its former self

Good thing MGSV is at least still coming and thank god its coming to pc. Rip Konami after sept. You will be missed and thanks for all the memories in the 90s.

Konami is in the business of making money off of games.

In Japan, there is an increasingly undeniable trend of mobile gaming being where the money is currently at, with console sales being anemic compared to where they were a decade or so ago.

You can give them shit for how they're handling the Kojima Productions stuff, sure, but when even Dragon Quest is seeing several of its games coming out on the mobile platforms you know that it is a platform to be reckoned with

Hopefully it's longer and less repetitive.

Before I pull the trigger on it, Axiom Verge is staying at $19.99 right?

I don't want to buy it now just to find out a potential discount hasn't applied yet.

Dead Space 3 sure is boring. Bro-op horror is something only EA would consider a good idea.

Dead Space 3; or, It's Not Dead Yet: Stomp To Confirm Edition.

Hopefully it's longer and less repetitive.

And good this time, rather than just nostalgia-bait.

i dont do bday posts, but without intending to do so i took my usual day or two off for a long weekend on my bday and e3 just happens to land on those days this year. Gonna spend some of that staycation time watching giant bomb watch e3 while i probably eat way too much pizza.

4-2 is pretty decent going. There are people who've put quite a bit of time into it who can't get that far
