Ahhh fuck, it's been so long since I played it that I confused two different levels haha. Cheers for the YouTube clip, that level still sends chills up my spine!

Wow, holy fuck: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gBY0Hzh0BSQ

New Mortal Kombat 9 and it looks amazing. It looks like they took MK 2 and really revamped it. Drool.. too bad the newest console I own is a PS2.

I've been watching Live E3 coverage on G4 today and yesterday..I missed the Microsoft press conference today however. I'm not really looking forward to much unfortunately. I don't own a Wii, but some cool games coming out, for example a 2-d Donkey Kong and a new Goldeneye! Crazy!

It was fucking painful to watch. I actually felt an overwhelming urge to turn away from the screen at certain points. The question is, why do we keep watching this shit when it's the same cringe-worthy nonsense every year?

There were moments when I wasn't sure whether to laugh or grind my teeth, for example when I heard phrases like "radical new car experiences" and "we believe gaming should be open to everyone". Yeah, because the all-powerful gaming czar has decreed that only certain people can play games

It's precisely what one would expect if you were to take insufferably empty "managerial speak", arrogant back-slapping/self-congratulation and video game executives who've never held a control pad in their lives, and then mash them all together and put it on stage.

I'm not watching any more of it, I'm just gonna wait for the gameplay footage and trailers to be uploaded to gametrailers.com or whathaveyou. I owe it to myself.

XBL anyone?

MvC3 anyone?

I played the new Mortal Kombat demo with my wee bro on his Xbox. It's pretty fuckin' good, at least compared to what the series was like after the move to 3D. The models are still 3D but it plays like the 2D games.

Chris, I know you're a big fan of the originals, I'd be interested to know what you think of this new incarnation. I think the demo showed some real strength and it has me interested in fighting games again after having grown bored of them about half way through MK3 in the mid-90s.

I've also been playing split screen cop-op with my wee bro on Call of Duty: Black Ops Zombies, and more recently Left 4 Dead 2. The latter is definitely more fun. CoD got real boring real quick, especially when we discovered there was no "end" to the game, you just have to last as long as you can, which is kinda like being told you have a non-contagious but terminal STD.

I have been dyyyyyyiiinnggg to play the new MK. The previews look so fucking great and I was really excited to see them abandoning the horrible 3dD game play. This is the only game that's ever made me want to get an XBox

Completely missed this thread, sorry.

The demo looked fun to me, but my PS3 died in March so I won't get a chance to find out anytime soon. I still play MK2 competitively and the opinion seems to vary among the high level players. Apparently it plays a lot like the older MK games (=awesome), but a couple of people have complained to me that everyone has the same attributes, which is pretty fucking boring.

I guess the plus side is that it keeps the game more balanced than the old MK games. By comparison, if you rock MK2 against any high level player, your chance of beating, say, Mileena with Baraka or Liu Kang with Scorpion are about 10%. That's pretty fucking unbalanced to say the least. UMK3, which is similarly popular through online play, is similarly unbalanced.

I've been playing the new MK a lot as one of my best friend's bought it the day it came out (I don't own any of the platforms). As a person who was also a die-hard old school MK fan (MK2 - Trilogy/UMK3 [I liked the Trilogy version more]) I fucking love it. Now, though I have never played competitively (but have against some friends that have) on UMK3, I'd say it seems fairly balanced. My own opinion here probably means pretty much nill though, as I have no actual "competitive" play. My old characters, depending on the game, used to be Kabal, Reptile, Noob, Mileena, and Sindel. However, with the new version I find myself playing mainly as Baraka (who I used to hate) and Katana. Haven't had much time to spend on any other characters but I have gravitated towards them for some reason (maybe its their excessive blood spill they seem to cause).

Don't know how much any of that means from a non-competitive player, but besides all that, the game is pretty fun and the fatalities are fucking awesome. I was extremely excited when I first read about it being a throwback to the first 3 releases and the fact that they did a pretty good job of that, while keeping it modern, makes me a happy boy.

UMK3 was pretty unbalanced. If you ever watch a UMK3 tournament, almost every fight is Kabal vs. Human Smoke, the top two guys in the game, and Kabal usually wins.

Trilogy was even more unbalanced with the additions of Noob Saibot and Rain, both of whom have extremely easy infinites; so easy that I can do them (and I'm not very good at the MK3 series games). Nobody runs MKT tournies anymore, but when the game was hot and people did Noob and Rain were banned from play.

Fun games, though, especially by adding the run function and taking away some of the shit that made MK2 a turtle fest. If I were any good at them, I'd play online for sure. The arcade version of UMK3 is still quite popular on many kaillera servers.

anyone play ssf4:ae2012?

They really should have stopped updating that title after super.

ill disagree with that, japan has "ae" in arcades while we just had "super" here. so for 4 extra characters it was worth it. and then people started to call it "hong kong fighter" because the twins, chun and fei were toooooooo broken. then 2012 came to re balance it like super was. the current version should be the last.

back to the 2nd last post...

ANYONE PLAY FUCKING STREET FIGHTER I NEED MORE SACRIFICES!!!!

Playing Skyrim on PS3... Approach the main quest line after doing loads of side quests, and now it's bugged so badly that it's practically unplayable fuck you ps3 I'm never playing console again.

A game like Skyrim should be played on the PC if possible if only for the modding possibilities. The official Creation Kit was released recently so the mods are only gonna get better.

http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/

You should get into that shit, Sam. Maybe you'll make a mod that gets you a job at Bethesda That's one of the best ways to get into the business from what I've seen.

That is sad. I started a second character not too long ago. Skyrim is brillianly made. I still haven't done tons of "guild" quests like Dark Brotherhood and Companions. In this file I'm not fast traveling at all so far. I think I've played for at least 12-15 hours and still no fast travel.

I kinda wish I had it for PC because of the mods and glitch fixes/patches. However, I do really like reclining in a vibrating chair with just a simple controller in my hands hehe. I'm also jealous of the graphics on the computer, though... Skyrim looks WAY better than it does on my crappy TV. I was totally stunned when I looked at people's screenshots of Skyrim on Reddit... I'm missing out.

I know, and I played the first one on a PC... HOWEVER playing on a PS3 enables me to lounge on the couch and play I recently switched to Mac from a PC for school, and there is virtually nothing available for it game wise. I tried installing Wine but I keep getting weird errors.

My console has more or less become a netflix box.

Well since I, for the most part, ignored Dame's post amount her busted PS3 and started rambling about how much fun Skyrim is, karma caught up to me and just broke my TV. Damnit. It just spazzed out and now it turns on but it smells funny and a tube definitely busted or something. No image.

Fuck
