Call me anthropocentric if you must, but my robo-lady would need more facial features than a blank slate of plastic covering her optical sensors.

I think all my real girlfriends have pretty much fit that description, so I wouldn't much notice.

I don't mind the blank face thing.

I just want to fuck Tali from Mass Effect, is all.

Personally I'd keep expecting her to call me "test subject" and start rambling about cake.

Removed Soldier's 40% damage reduction from his own rockets. Does not affect rocket jumps

Removed Flamethrower's damage falloff (was falling off to 25% by the end)

POST SCREW AROUND EDIT:

airblast uses 25 ammo per shot, slight delay before it fires.
Reflect kills have a unique icon

Hadoken is now an INSTANT KILL with its own kill icon so you can show everyone online what you did

Flaregun has a max of 16 ammo, single shot, slight firing delay, the projectile drops due to gravity (not as much as the needles or demo grenades) and only does 20~ damage along with the ON FIRE DoT

Goddamnit. Now I want Guitar Hero IV. Not just the whole Rock Band setup, they had to go and throw in character creation as well as instrument and actual song creation. And the drum pad looks a lot nicer and more flexible than Rock Bands.

And to top it off, they get "Everlong" on the set list.

I'm just going to sit back and wait for this guitar game arms race to reach its inevitable and awesome conclusion.

Royal☭ · « **Reply #306 on:** June 21, 2008, 06:52:20 PM »

Why, eventually the drum pad will have 10 parts and the guitar will have 144 buttons! And I bet it would require years of practice just to become an expert at the device, and people will form these "rock bands" to give concerts. It would be unprecedented!

I'm kinda surprised no one has made an electric guitar that just has a standard note scale worth of buttons on it and a strum bar. Then a button or knob to switch between strings and (what ever it's called when you strum across all of them).

Brentai · « **Reply #308 on:** June 21, 2008, 07:36:19 PM »

I've got a pretty funky Guitar Hero controller. It's a perfect replica of the game's Les Paul. It even has these wires instead of buttons, and to hit the notes you have to put your fingers on the wires between these little indentation things, and actually pull the wires. It then reads these... electromagnetic vibrations or whatever, I don't get it but it sounds like total future technology.

Thing'll plug directly into an amp, which is awesome, but it's so complicated that I can't even figure out how to hook it up to my PS2. Despite the fact that I miss literally every not with it people still say I look less ridiculous with it than with a normal controller. Weird.

Royal☭ · « **Reply #309 on:** June 21, 2008, 07:37:53 PM »

Why, then Brentai would go on to make the same joke as me.

Only better.

Brentai · « **Reply #310 on:** June 21, 2008, 07:39:48 PM »

It's a trick I've learned.

What, you think it's ultimately going to become Guitar Wizard?

Also

Ha ha it's funny that you're all making fun of people for playing a rhythm game instead of actually playing instruments. This is a point I've never seen made before. I'm going to go make fun of people for playing Halo instead of actually committing homicide.

and also

"Rogues" by Incubus is fucking begging for the GH treatment.

We're not really making fun of people for playing rhythm games so much as we're making fun of rhythm game makers desperate to one up each other.

Harmonix is desperate to one-up... itself?

I almost feel sorry for the level designers in that Sonic game. It's highly detailed, most of the structures appear unique, and you blitz by them awfully fast.

Also, it reminds me somewhat of cs_italy, secretly hoping Sonic gets sniped in mid level.

QUICK TIME EVENT, THE VIDEO GAME!

Same. Old. Shit.

Look, they got the speed down, awesome. I'll believe it's actually a good game when it scores higher than a 4.5 or a C- or two exploding heads out of five. Wolfhog is retarded, and that trailer still looks like it's the "Very pretty thing you watch" problem from every other 3-D Sonic game. I was a lot more excited when I thought it was gonna be 2-D again. Look at how many times in that trailer it looks as though the player is influencing what's happening and it's not a QTE button flashing thing.
