LET'S ARGUE ABOUT VIDEO GAMES

Not sure if anyone cares about Warhammer 40,000, but I found this recently.

Any thoughts? (Besides the obvious "OH EM GEE THAR COPYIN GEARS OF WAR! PHAIL!")

I want to hold every designer's head in a toilet until they agree to stop fucking making games about space marines.

I might not be a very big fan of Valve, but I love the shit out of them for actually coming up with original settings and characters.

[Maxilor]

Yeah but Games Workshop was the first to make a game about space marines.

so kudos to them.

And Nay I say to all those rip-offs! (Starcraft)

I'll let them off the hook if they make a game that's fun to play.

[Zomboid]

GW, I doubt that you can overpower a toddler, nevermind an adult male.

my strength is fueled by rage and shitty video games

[Dr. Boogie]

He's upset that it's taking so long for GoW2 to come out.

[OxBlood]

Isn´t it out over there at your places? Been a week since release here...

[Guitar Woman]

I like how the Left 4 Dead demo is like 25% of the full game, but still only lets me have 6 days to play around with it.

Also, amazing, brilliant fucking job not letting me play any other Steam games while it's downloading.

[MetalMilitia]

I just played the first 20 or so minutes of World at War. First let me get one thing straight - I like WW2 games so I'm not going to bash WaW just because it's set in the 40s. I will however bash it for the fact that my initial impressions are awful.

First the AI is dumb as fuck. The zombies in L4D are way, way smarter than the enemies in WaW and they're not even supposed to be smart.

The weapon sounds are crap. The garand sounds NOTHING like it's supposed to - as in not even remotely - and the other weapons sound like airsoft guns. CoD games have always suffered from crap weapon sounds but I don't remember them ever being this bad.

Your weapon just hovers motionless in front of the screen and you hands are massive. I'm pretty sure the guns in Doom were more animated than those in WaW.

Invisible walls. Enough said. Actually no, not enough said - STOP USING FUCKING INVISIBLE WALLS IN GAMES. For example at one point I was obviously supposed to attack an enemy camp. As luck would have it there was a watch tower just outside the camp which would've been a perfect spot from which to snipe... if there wasn't a 1 ft high collection of stones blocking me from getting there which you couldn't jump over. I get that they can't just let you fuck off into the jungle but invisible walls are so lame.

[Guitar Woman]

Whatever, guitar woman

Anyway, instead of invisible walls, every game should have some horrible wild animal that mauls you to death if you go too far away from where you're supposed to be, and then re-spawns exponentially whenever you kill it.

In an unrelated matter the shark is my absolute favorite part of Crysis

i thought you were talking about spore creature stage at first

I finished Gears of War 2 in a few days and I'd love for something to fill the single player gap until I can get a good broadband connection and get into multi. I know that that game wont be out for a while, but I like the 40k setting and I like the action and style of GOW, so I'd probably buy it and like it, despite the fact that it's probably not that deep.

On another note, I've heard that the GOW2 multiplayer is flawed/broken because of the lobby system, anyone care to comment?

Haven´t tried it cause I don´t like that kind of Multi but from what I read, most people don´t like that you cannot choose what kind of mode you play in a public match. Seems to be completely random.

[Nick]

GoW2 multiplayer sucks.

Unless you are playing some obscure Live arcade title or only play people on your friends list, every fucking game that you hop into on there is going to have some little 13 year old prick with a name like SASUKE_NINJA66321 make it known to everyone in the game that "YOU COST ME MY ACHIVEMENT FOR NOT GETTING KILLED IN A MULTIPLAYER DEATHMATCH ".


Its called a deathmatch for a fucking reason shithead.

[Nick]

That sounds like a personal problem, brah.

[OxBlood]

My main problem with the XBL-Multi is that most people really are Idiots. Young Idiots. Doesn´t matter where they come from, I mostly experience Americans (judging from their way of pronounciation), British, Australian and French (even though I don´t understand a fucking word of what they say...many of them sing all the time which is quite irritating).
The worst thing would be those people who appear to be 5...at least they sound like 5...shrieking baby-voices in my ears squealing as many insults as they can fit in a sentence.

I don´t know what happened to those countries, but apparently, total anarchy rages outside our borders or something...where are the parents, beating the shit out of their children for being like that?

Wait. Maybe those ARE the parents. Who wants to help me build a giant laser cannon to obliberate mankind? Anyone?

[Zomboid]

People who sing are the worst. I just, you know, mute people.

[executioneer]

all online multiplayer sucks, guys, it doesn't matter what platform it's on or what game

Nah, Co-op is also Multiplayer, mostly online and it´s excellent. As long as you play with people you know.

[executioneer]

i don't know anyone

[Sam]

ZOMBOID AND I KNOW HOW TO TAKE CARE OF ANNOYING PEOPLE IN MULTIPLAYER GAMES.

RIGHT BRAH?

[Zomboid]

FUCK YEAH. NO ONE WANTS TO MESS WITH THE WOLF AND THE UNICORN!

AWOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
