    • RE: Dear Bosman - Live with YouTube Gaming

      These are great. I hope they succeed in bringing Bosman to a bigger audience and help grow the EZA brand.

      Ok I like Shrek but to say it's better than the Princess Bride is objectively wrong.

    • RE: Last game you finished

      @Lotias I'm currently replaying dishonored. I started that game like 4 times before it clicked and now I love it. The level design is absolutely amazing. So many paths to get to your objective and tons of side missions along the way. Every nook and cranny feels thoughtfully placed and believable. So much less of that "HERES A VENT! THIS IS THE STEALTH OPTION!" design that permeates other games that claim to have lots of gamepay choice. You'll really love the DLC, some of the best missions in the game are there. Things dive a little deeper into the supernatural side of dishonored too, which I find really intriguing.

    • RE: Scariest Moments

      For me, there was 1 moment in F.E.A.R. where you drop into a vent and waaaaay down in front of you, you can see the outline of Alma (the creepy little girl) she begins moving at you quickly, then basically teleports right into your face. Definitely got a jump out of me. Something about the way she advances is so unsettling. Game has some other cool oents and some of the best close quarters shooting in any game ever.

    • RE: What games are you still planning on buying this year?

      I was always planning on picking it up but after seeing some more of Dishonored 2 I'm really excited for it. I'll also be playing my first ever Final Fantasy when 15 comes out.

    • RE: Destiny Year Three - Rise of Iron Discussion

      The story, despite having great looking cutscenes, was kind of a mess. It had no real progression and failed to even adequately explain what Siva is. And I still don't really understand what the hell rasputin has to do with it all. Is he saying the rasputin we've been helping has been a siva puppet all along? I thought there was potential, but it fell flat. The missions themselves however are some of Destiny's best. Especially the last mission.

      The plaguelands are pretty awesome though. I wish archon's forge had better matchaking behind it, but when it gets going it's pretty great. I like the look of the area, and the verticality of the area with the overpass. The new strike was fun, but it doesn't really matter to me if it's randomized when all the rooms look the same. I feel like I'm going the same way every time because there's alost no visual variety to show that I am in a different spot. It's a good effort and the boss was hectic and fun. I actually enjoyed the nightfall, once my fireteam started shooting the shanks the second they appeared it was much easier. Sepiks strike is fun and I'm not super impressed with abomination but I'm glad it's there.

      Supremacy is fine. I'm not big on pvp, but when I do play it's usually control. It adds some variety though, but we really need some true obj. based modes. CTF, assault, etc.. Those probably won't come to destiny 2.

      The raid is top notch, I am only at the first phase of the final boss, but I've loved going through it so far. The look and vibe is awesome, the feeling of a journey is really well conveyed when you emerge on the top of the wall and you can look way back and see where you entered the raid. You can also look ahead and see where you'll be going. The siege machine shows that they're thinking more about what an encounter can be and are doing more than just bosses and jumping puzzles. I wish the entrance was in a true public space like VOG, but oh well.

      A lot of the content is good, the exotic quests are another fun addition for the post-game. They really messed one thing up though, and it kind of blows my mind. Blue engrams are essentiall worthless. Once you hit 340, which will happen pretty quickly, blue encrypted engrams become worthless. Any item that comes outof one will be capped at 340, unless you get lucky and it turn into a purpe item. Then you're forced to grind strikes for a max of two items that will drop from the boss already decoded. The decoded blues can be up to 365. This change makes the grind so slow, forcing you to wear blue items for minimal light increases to ensure that the next item you get has a better chance of being the slightest bit better. Want to wear your purple gear that is a little bit lower but not worth the resources to raise by a light level or two? Well too bad or you better remember to hecticly change back to the better gear right before you kill the boss. And every trip to the cryptarch now lacks excitement. Engrams are meant to get that pavlovian response, where you feel excited by the potential for some sweet loot. You take all your engrams to the cryptarch like a kid gathering up presents to open on their birthday. Except now you already know whats in the presents, and its socks. Worse it's socks that you already own and theyre the wrong size so you can't wear them anyway. I am just stunned that this came on the heels of the april update, which fixed the progression loop in a lot of ways.

      TLDR: 6.5-7/10

    • RE: [Official] What are you playing?

      Mass Effect, A Link btw Worlds, some Witcher 3, and Destiny (so pumped for RoI.) My girlfriend has been playing the Bioshock remaster and is in the arcadia section.

    • RE: Games so good you are surprised they aren't more popular?

      Sleeping Dogs! It's an open world crime game with kung fu and car chases where you can leap from car to car. How can that not be more popular? Also, Star Wars: Repubic Commando and F.E.A.R. No game makes me feel like I'm really sooting up an environment like fear does, the particle effects and visual representation of damage are great. I love Destiny and other shooters today, but I often feel like I'm shooting my way through a theme park style recreation of real life instead of a believable space. Republic Commando is just a game that I always wished had gotten a sequel.

    • RE: What games are you still planning on buying this year?

      @ForevAloneGamer Tomb Raider sequel was really good, I hope it gets the acknowledgement it deserves this year with the rerelease. And I'll be you can get the destiny collection for pretty cheap if you wait a couple of weeks after rise of iron. Even 60 is a really good deal at this point for everything in there. There'll be like 30 multiplayer maps for example. You should join the easy allies clan at bungie.net if you're looking for people to play with, the game is far better with friends

    • RE: What games are you still planning on buying this year?

      Definitely Rise of Iron (today's trailer got me pretty pumped.)
      Dishonored 2
      Gears of War 4

      I think those are my only day one buys unless I get a new job and can splurge. I'm keeping an eye on Titanfall 2 and Battlefield 1. Never played a final fantasy, but I am definitely interested.
