a.) does that apply to the gunmetal bullshit? has anyone said?
b.) 60gb = best PS2 BC.

A) Yes. Gunmetal = No BC. Non-Gunmetal, non-anal-rape-price: Best BC.

Personally if I'm paying a premium for a special color I don't want the non-special color to be better than mine.

Which is pretty much what my point was the whole time.

Was it that HARD to understand?

This game looks pretty cool, at least the trailer does anyway. It sort of looks like God of War meets Gears of War and yet it doesn't even have war in the title!

Now as an artsy-fartsy snobby indie developer wannabe, I of course don't love games like those mentioned as I think that they don't push the interactive part of the medium as the main point of the experience and are instead completely linear, interactive movies with their lame quicktime events and etc. But I still appreciate them if they are done well and look sweet which this does. I just don't understand why you would force people to press buttons at precise times in them and not just make a sweet CG movie where your hero runs around killing shit in wicked ways. You can make the badguys a lot more badass that way and not annoy crappy players.

Square tried that once, and it nearly made them bankrupt.

...then they tried it again without the plot and it was awesome. LESSON LEARNED!

Actually, if you could get his autograph for me, and THEN tell him he's out of his fucking mind, it'd be golden.

Geo, that game only interests you because it stars a sword-wielding white guy wearing a hairstyle that only looks good on black people.

James Edward Smith · « **Reply #190 on:** May 25, 2008, 05:38:36 PM »

Well, true enough, but the Half Life 2 esque music and minigun weapon look cool too. That decoy fade out move looked cool too.

I saw that game five years ago when it was called "New Legends".

I wasn't talking about games.

...oh, I thought you meant movies that were in the games as opposed to... y'know, actual movies.
