Since my teammates were dedicated to stopping my shots directed at the enemy, I ended up charging everyone with shotguns. It worked pretty well since apparently the other guys aren't expecting this, ever.

Nothing about the game's story interested me after playing it for two hours, and this is generally not a good sign. I quit, because I honestly found every other 360 game at my disposal to be more interesting.

The fact that you believe the combat system to be a "carbon copy of GoW" just further illustrates my point that you have no idea what you're talking about and probably haven't even played the 2 hours you claim.
It had a cover system and was in third person - that's were the similarities end. What about the weapon mods and ammo types? What about being able to control your squad's load-out and command them to use their special attacks?

I don't give a shit if you didn't like the game, but when you start trying to make out like you're some kind of expert on it just because you saw your friend playing it for 20 minuites, it pisses me off. Just admit that you don't know what you're talking about then shut up about it forever.

Yeah, because weapon mods completely change the way the combat plays out every time you install a new one.

COVER POP SHOOT COVER RINSE REPEAT, jesus christ

Well - yeah, actually. When you're fighting the geth you need to ensure you have your squad using appropriate ammunition types to improve their weapons' effectiveness against synthetics or which allow the bullets to bypass shields. Similarly mods which improve stopping power for shotguns can make fighting the husks (zombie things) much easier.

No matter how much shit you load onto it, a shotgun is still a shotgun, and I'm still going to run blindly into the middle of the room and use it to kill everyone. That tactic did not fail me once.

It sure as hell beats crouching behind cover and taking 5 hours to clear a room because the game is horribly sloggy and gay.

Jesus christ, I hate it harder the more I think about it.

No More Heroes is the only Wii game I have, soon to be followed by Madworld.

MetalMilitia · #81

Madworld looks aright, kind of like a stylised manhunt.

Is the entire game in film-noir black and white with blood color spots? The only screenshots I can find are like that.

I could see problems arising from this, but at the same time that looks really cool.

DIDN'T SEE THE TRAILER LINK SHUT UP

IT'S YOUR FAULT FOR MAKING ME ANGRY

bigtimecow · #83

so, kirby for the wii? wow

Chojin · #84

so this is the new defend your favorite game console thread? awesome.

i plan to play mass effect when it comes out for pc. if it's already out for pc, then I plan to play it when it comes out on steam, or when I get tired of waiting for that and pirate it instead.

also, we just took the wii on vacation and it was the best decision of my life, if for no other reason than the wiiware and virtual console stuff we were able to play from one box.

losing ff13 as an exclusive has got to hurt for chadwarden.

darkvare · #85

MetalMilitia · #86

Oblivion and Bioshock, mostly. We also had GTA4 and some other stuff, but ragdolling yourself off of motorcycles is only funny for so long.

Now, before you go off on me for liking Oblivion while yelling at Mass Effect for having shitty fighting, let me justify myself by saying that I avoided most of the game's actual combat by pretty much exclusively stealth killing everyone.

As for the second part, that was my first exposure to KOTOR and we ran through it once in about 30 hours because he knew what he was doing.

I did ok, though. I don't see how you can be BAD at KOTOR.

Chojin · #88

i'm only using one steam, and it's the one not made by people whose OS i'm borrowing. and like I said, if it isn't going to come out for steam, i'd sooner pirate it than deal with all the pirate protection shit that comes with buying a licensed copy.

@pac-man: Mega Man 9 :D

MM 9 is new with an old look. Definitely an attraction worth checking out in my book.

I'm amazed that you were able to play 30+ hours in almost one sitting.

Guitar Woman · #92

I love that game :<

Dr. Boogie · #93

Yeah.

So have you ever played KOTOR?

Not to get off topic, but who do you guys think has had the best E3? Honestly, I'm underwhelmed by the offerings by all three, but I'd give Sony the edge. Maybe that's because that's because I also think the PS3 can't go anywhere but up.

Phoenix Gamma · #96

I'd say it's a tie between Sony and Microsoft. I can't pick which I dislike the least out of those two.

pac-man · #97

I really think most of the stuff Microsoft is trying to do for the 360 and Live are really just aesthetic. And I'm less than giddy for the upcoming slate of 360 titles. Honestly, after perusing what's on deck for this year, the game I'm looking forward to most on 360 is Ghostbusters: The Video Game. Glad to have you back, Mr. Stay Puft.

Hey Rog, do you get to talk with the people of Blizzard because you where so cool too them with the domain? I know you won't get any surprising info from them, but I doubt you wouldn't want to talk to them anyways.
