That's really too bad, I've heard lots of great things about the first two Dead Space games. But I heard the third one was a steaming pile, so...

[Feathers]

Yeah, Dead Space 3 was a wash. 1-2 were indeed fun. I figured after 3 it was dead.

On a different note, I'm noticing a pattern lately- when a game shows up on Humble Bundle it seems to mean that they will soon be bankrupt. Borderlands (Gearbox Software) for one seems to be at their end.

Which is interesting since a tech demo of Borderlands 3 was just shown at this year's GDC, and a Borderlands film is being put togeather...

So when do we get Star Wars GO?

So... the most downvoted comment in Reddit History, by at least a factor of 20, accompanies a shitstorm about EA, Microtransactions and its latest Star Wars Battlefront Title.

It's still dropping.

*Sigh*.... ''Nihil Novi Sub Sole''

Nothing new under the Sun.

EA has long since taken the whole ''Screw the Customers! We just need their money!'' mantra so far it has become pretty much cartoonish; it's like they're your average Evil Megacorp from a Cyberpunk work. And either they enjoy all that hate they get or they simply don't give a shit about it...

You know, using a Pay-to-win system is always bound to attract a very polarized group so... like Blake says, nothing new.

One of things I'm more curious of is how exactly will this form of microtransaction be regulated despite it being regular practice the last decade? It just seems that alot of the games in general have become a pissing contest to see who empties their wallet first. I mean, whatever happened to "Buy once, play all the time." model...

[Flare]

Sadly, it won't be "Regulated" so much. And as for the "Buy Once" thing... it's because they see "Annual games" as cash cows and they want to milk them for all they're worth.

So. Megaman 11.

[lv27_robothero]

To be honest I’m kinda eh on it. Reminds me a bit too much of Mighty Number 09 and this coming from a guy who likes Mighty Number 09. I just hope it doesn’t stray to far from what 9 and 10 did and evolve with what 7 did. Classic gameplay not too many puzzles. Finally they gave me sliding and charge buster back.

[Pierce]

While it looks like Capcom seems to be smartening up and catering to the fans again, I'm only taking this sequel in with a grain of salt.

[Feathers]

Haha it does look a lot MN9, but a lot more polished. I am interested it in though. The evolution they presented is nice. They didn't go for DRASTIC changes like Super Mario World to Mario 64. That was just too much for me. I still can't do 3D Mario. I'm so glad they stuck with 2D.

[Flare]

It's like "Hey, you saw what THAT GUY did, now let us win you back..." or something.

[L337 m4n]

They mentioned having some of the MM8 team working on 11 so I think it'll be decent. Wonder what Wily will be up to though. Also thought the new Megaman game would arrive once they showed that new Megaman cartoon in the works.

Star Citizen being sued by Crytek, citing breaches of contract.

[SIERRA-116]

This just in: Death Stranding still makes no sense.

This just in: Death Stranding still makes no sense.

Kojima being Kojima, I guess....

[Feathers]

Inside joke?

[DogKama]

Inside joke?

its a joke in the sense that anything Kojima is involved, while good is very convoluted and hard to follow.

[L337 m4n]

Final Fantasy XV is pretty fun with Episode Ignis adding more to the story and making Ardyn a bigger villain. Fighting Noctis is one of the hardest battles I've seen. Even Sephiroth wasn't this hard despite how fast he was.
