Random video game news and discussion!

Because not every game deserves a thread!


So, this is a general thread where you can throw in random discussion topics that don't really warrant their own thread. Or ask questions about random games. You know, basically anything.

To start, I happened to watch a TotalBiscuit video about Dead Space 3.

It's basically about how dead Space will be a straight PC port, because apparently the devs think it's unfair that PC gamers get better quality than console gamers with their ancient hardware.

The game will also feature microtransactions apart from being a fully priced 60 dollar/euro title that will allow you to buy weapons and such from the very beginning. To me that sounds a bit off in a horror game. And to be clear, this is a singleplayer game. I swear, every time I think EA can't sink any lower. They discover a new crevice to fall down.

Am I the only one slightly offended about this?

Offended? no, discouraged to buy the game? Yes.

Gay ass EA
I loot corpses of their golden teeth.
But he'll be around somewhere between Heaven and The Devil, because neither of them will take him in, and he'll be farting loudly and singing a filthy song.

i'll be there at around

Ubisoft is run by retards. Also people from SEGA deserve a asswooping. They arent as big players as they used to be and try to act. All they have is Total War. Remove that and nobody will even know wtf SEGA is. Also also also Hammerpoint interactive and WarZ.....is about as low as you can get in the gamingindustry.

That is all...for now.

Ohh yes, Activison the cunt industry that keeps butchering promising titles and overrapes its own old successful ones. Also Bethesda for apparently sueing minecraft creator Notch for using the name "Scrolls" in his different game. But thats old news. Just liked show how even Bethesda isnt a completely pure and nice gamecompany as many belive. I quess thats videogamecompany ranting in general. :D

Except it wasn't Bethesda that sued, it was their publishing company:  ZeniMax (aka the guys putting out TES Online, and again, not Bethesda).

EA always find a way to make me despise them even more. They have ruined so many games through greed of profit, one of my favourite on the console was the Fight Night series. That was until Fight Night Champion when they added an online skill buy system, you bought it with microsoft points and you could spend it to train skills for your online boxer, this resulted in massive unbalance because you might get matched up against a boxer who has the same or similar overall rating as you, say around 70-72 for example, but he actually has 1 punch that is maxed in skill points. Which in turn means when he hits you with it, which he eventually will even if you are really good at the game, it will fucking destroy you hard, it will atleast rock you badly, good chance of even knocking you down, sometimes even just KO you outright and game over. EVen if you blocked it, your blocking skills will be no match for the maxed punch and it often still owns you through the block.

Thanks EA, that's really fun for people who want to play the game and progress properly. Before that they also destroyed my first and favourite MMORPG which Was Ultima Online, it was an awesome game ( like many years ago, think I first played that when I was about 13, I'm now 26 ) until EA took it over and slowly turned it into some carebear fairyland bundle of shit.

EA has also tried to make free2play games, such as Battlefield play4free and this C&C Tiberium Alliances. Needless to say, both are 100% pay2win and will attempt to bleed cash for even the most basic of things.

Seems to me you simply do not know SEGA well enough. They are still making great games, not only TW.

Tried pretty damn hard and searched wiki. All I got were TWs, The Cave and Bayonetta(personally dont like it, but its okay). And good games in their hands that are in the making are Aliens: Colonial Marines and CoH2.

Resonance of fate/End of eternity ? Madworld ? They don't do much, but they can still pay quality.

Perhaps i'm OT, but rumours of the next-gen have been coming up more and more.

Do you think these are real, and what do you expect from the next-gen?
