Sorry bit late on this. Actually I was tempted to do a recommendation for FF XIII-2 to go with my one for XIII (and then put the whole thing to bed with Lightning Returns) but enthusiasm is running a bit low. I'm bagsying AC Rogue the moment it get's a release date mind as I can't shut up about that game at the moment.

well at least you like vanquish
I love Vanquish -- I was 1 trophy away from platinum and I just... I put it down for awhile hoping some distance would do me good and now I don't really play my PS3 anymore. :\
Hey now... I know I got on your badside with those remarks about drinking, but this is uncalled for. I am a horribly awful terrible no good low down dirty rotten jerk and I'll thank you to remember that.
In my defense I lowered it to "fun" after finishing it
Fair point.
It's stlil probably better than Strider 2014, based off the strength of the story/cutscenes and the presence of Batman.

The Insurgency store page say "Offline practice mode, playing with bots on all game modes."
I can't get this to work. The Train vs. AI option in training tab just loads the one map and one gamemode every time.

I only played vanquish twice actually, hard > god hard and never played the challenges, I think overall it's not as balanced as other PG or Capcom games, but vanquish however is the hardest game PG has made and I would play it again on steam. You're good people for liking it, because it was a lot of fun, it's like a mix of ninja gaiden with tps and I hated ninja gaiden
indeed!

Ha. One could probably say the same of someone declaring M&MX their GOTY.
Not to mention when he declared image quality > framerate.
Or blondes > brunettes
Or Nolan > Kubrick
Or personality > # of Steam-games
I think it's safe to say that Durante is not the superhuman we were led to believe.

I've put in maybe 200 hours through multiple playthroughs, I still turned out fine :V
Don't expect me to 100% cheevo this game though.
You have no say here, sir. You thought Batman Arkham Origins Blackgate was *good*.
Says the guy who found Aliens CM good :V

Perhaps I should capitalize on this momentum somehow. I never realized my people were so adored by the masses.
(1) A:CM was fun.
(2) Ningen think so too, I believe.
(3) You like Strider 2014. All credibility removed.

Thanks for reminding me. Yeah, it's supposed to be out this week... I think.
@Corrosive: Sorry, dude. But FF13 is straight up terrible. Valk Chron is at least refreshing and not a clone in the vein of Tatics Ogre (Final Fantasy Tactics, Hoshigami: Ruining Blue Earth [Which wasn't that great, BTW], Disgaea, et. al.)/grid-based one-turn-per-unit systems for a "SRPG."
It's more an "Action Role-Playing Game with light 'Strategy' fare." If I had to recommend one over the other, it'd be VC1 anyday even to people that hate "anime."

Well, I'm out since I'm gross
Aww, she meant Frost not you !
I don't like you (as much) any more.
But at least you didn't say "meh".
It just didn't hit the right notes for me. Too bloated for my taste, but just like 2 it's a polarizing game. MG2, Solids 1&3 are my faves in the franchise. I'm hoping GZ/TPP live up to those.
they're disgusting
you really should write this! I mean about 13-2, you know I'm too lazy for this kind of stuff, but if you insist, I'll try
You can't re-verify?

Everyone praises 3, but that's the one I don't understand -- MGS4 wasn't all it could've been, specifically with act 3, but there were some really cool parts between acts 1, 2, 4, and 5.
Now you guys are just being mean. I may be a jerk, I may not have a soul, but I'm still capable of feeling.

Does This War of Mine have a campaign or endgame to work towards or is it just survive as long as you can?
Hell yes son.
Hell yes son.
i can probably, i'll do it later if i have trouble with it

It also treats its material pretty maturely. There are those random moments of pigs with wings and vegetable fetishism, but the vivisection of something so large as a World War is done well.
Corrosive, give it a go if you haven't already. I'm like you when it comes to SRPGs lately, in that I just don't have time or patience for the grinding nature... this plays differently.

There is an end. I haven't played it but I have seen an ending screen where people survive.
Nice.
I hope they do some extra work on the PC version. At least they already have a current gen version of Shay outfit they can use.

None of us have credibility in this case :V
Part 3 just went all out on the feels, and a lot of gamers love that shit(me included). Young Ocelot, Eva, The Boss, and a really gritty style added a lot to it.
Edit: Also one of the most WTF boss battles I had experienced up to that point.
MGS4 Act 4 was ace-quality, and hit you in the emotional gut right off the bat. It's imperative that people play the series in order, or they'll miss out on this chit.

People who didn't like MGS4 were never MGS fans to begin with. The game is the culmination of everything that makes Kojima's saga his magnum opus.
So last night I finally got around to finishing Portal. (Yeah, the first one. I had gotten up to around test chamber 17 and just stopped for some reason, and I never got back to it. I think my last savegame was from around October 2012.)
My final assessment? "Hey, that was pretty neat." I had completely forgotten that you could pick up things with the portal gun, so there was one point where I'd pushed a cube over to a pressure pad half a stage away and couldn't get it to go onto the pad, and I was going nuts trying to figure out what the hell I was doing wrong. That was amusing in retrospect. (At the time, maybe not so much.) It also struck me that Valve really has a thing for antiseptic-yet-vaguely-sinister industrial design in their games. Makes me wonder if their art staff had bad experiences with office parks as children or something.
So now I've had my cake, I've freed up a little HD space, and I've scratched something else off of the queue. Booyah.

More like his magnum poopus.
I'm looking forward to MGS V, though. I hope it breaks from the endless inane melodrama, pseudo scientific philosobabble, and 1 hour cutscenes.

Absolutely, MGS4 is the best MGS to date in my opinion, it perfects the gameplay and is just the ultimate fan service game for MGS fans and people that are interested in the story.
EDIT: I also want to add that I beat MGS4 16 times, it was that good, all the difficulties, all the emblems, everything, it was so infinitely playable for me, it's probably my favorite game on PS3 honestly.
Wow, this game needs backing: The Crow's Eye

So wait, people have to like MGS4 to be considered MGS fans?
Guess I have to stop being an MGS fan then. *shrug*

Hah, just checked up Conan's youtube channel since a while now.
He has done an AssUnity review which was bloody funny. I also recommend watching every review he ever did. Really cracked me up good ^_^

So I'm guessing GOG Galaxy will come out this week? Since The Witcher Adventure Game does, and that should use Galaxy (and it apparently also has achievements).

Yeah, but I thought the game was also a way to promote Galaxy and its new features.

It confuses me because the game features all of the same elements in the series that people either love/hate; nanomachines, melodrama, soliloquies about war and humanity and all that.
Plus it delivers exceptional fan service and some really fun boss fights.
Heh, I'll continue being disappointed with 4 and still being a big fan of the series. The game is disjointed, even though some sections and moments are superb. It's supposed to be fan service, but not for my kind of fan it seems.
Edit: It's still worth playing as part of the series to newcomers, and it might click with them.
