Personally I would avoid Borderlands 2 because its just a horrible game that loves gimmicks and wants to punch you in the face repeatedly with them, over and over and over

BWAHAHAHAHAH No joke!

Okay, I couldn't remember the exact date I have a huge list of games I want, they had better NOT go on sale on thursday. I won't have cash till friday Whats on everyones list? My main one is the STALKER trilogy

Holy fuck, this might be the most annoying FPS game ever. I am just about done with the game and I am fucking stuck in some stupid assed freefall section where you have to skydive through buildings and shit. No explanation as to why shit is collapsing all over the place, no explanation on why you can't keep the air bike you started with. Nope just fucking falling and if anything even comes near you, its insta-death There is literally no fucking reason for this to be in the game. The precursor to this was a stupid fucking "Hold the line" style mission where enemies with shields and turrets just fucking zerg rush you. Oddly enough the game keeps track of your deaths for each section, I think I was at 88 total for Chapter 7 (By comparison I have cleared some chapters with zero deaths), all happened in the span of like 3 hours last night. I don't think I have EVER been this close to just breaking a game disc and not caring at all. Seriously fuck this game. To go from challenging levels with a need for stealth and shadow work to stupid fucking zerg fests makes no sense

Are you sure? I went to play last night after the USvGhana game was over and the servers were down. I jumped on Twitter and they said they had pulled the plug

http://www.forbes.com/sites/insertcoin/2014/06/16/battlefield-hardline-may-worsen-eas-problems-with-the-series/ At least initially, EA’s presentation of Battlefield: Hardline during their press conference was one of the cooler moments of E3. They had an elaborate (albeit scripted) multiplayer battle sequence where coordinated teams of cops and robbers tried to take each other out, and it seemed like it could be a new twist on a shooter that has been stuck in full military mode for a while now. But after the presentation, EA made the unusual announcement that surprise, Battlefield: Hardline was ready to play already, and players were invited to take part in a beta ahead of the game’s fall release. It’s there that the problem with Battlefield: Hardline was revealed, a pervading idea that Hardline feels like what’s essentially DLC or a mod for Battlefield 4, yet EA is charging full price for the experience. Back during the height of the Battlefield 4 meltdown, I speculated that after that, Battlefield 5 would be out of the question any time in the near future, and even if they could release a rushed version, I wasn’t sure the series has the identity to survive in the constantly evolving shooter landscape. I posited that the best way forward for Battlefield would be to return to its beloved Bad Company series, releasing a new game in that storyline which would appease longtime fans and give them something they’ve been craving for years. And that’s something EA has seemed open to. But Hardline is not that, nor is it even pretending to be a leap all the way to a fully-fledged sequel to Battlefield 4. It’s reusing many, many elements from Battlefield 4 (and 3), adding in new vehicles and character models to go with the cops and robbers theme. It may be fun as a new slew of modes for the series, but as a full-priced game? It’s a hard sell. I’ve talked to a few folks who genuinely believed that Hardline was simply Battlefield 4 DLC, and were shocked to learn it was meant to be completely new installment in the series. With DICE hard at work on Star Wars: Battlefront, it’s clear they may not have the necessary resources to devote to the Battlefield franchise, which is why things are being turned over to Digital Illusions/Visceral here. It would explain the lack of polish (and the lack of a working game) when Battlefield 4 was released, and says why Hardline appears to be almost no different than either 3 or 4 in meaningful ways other than the general theme, with a few additions like new gadgets and an in-match cash shop. Still, I’m not sure the philosophy of “it’s better to release something than nothing,” is wise for EA here at this point given the series in question. The Battlefield brand was badly damaged by the BF4 fiasco of last year. Releasing a new game in the series that most fans view as overpriced DLC or a mod that they’re being charged full price for is not really the proper strategy to win back their trust. And that’s just assuming the launch goes smoothly, and rushed production this time doesn’t result in any more catastrophic issues as with BF4. Battlefield has fallen into the trap of thinking it needs to be a yearly release like Call of Duty, no matter what that means. While Activision now has three developers pumping out new COD games every three years, EA just can’t match that, and it shows. While something like Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare does look like a fairly substantial step forward for the series, BF4 and now BF: Hardline aren’t really fooling anyone. This is not meant to spark some “COD is better than BF” fanboy war. Battlefield is a great series and does many things better than Call of Duty. But comparing the yearly releases of each series, Battlefield is now the one that increasingly feels like a rushed, tweaked clone of the last version while COD is making a bit more of an effort to branch out. I really do think the best thing for Battlefield is for them to take a full year or two off, and come back with either a very revamped BF5, or a new Bad Company game. Hardline comes off like a very obvious stopgap, and I don’t think it’s going to be what fans want to see after the issues with Battlefield 4. We’ll have to see come fall.

The summer sale starts in the US on Friday. With that in mind, once again lets all remember the rules:

This kids face is hysterical to me

I had a side mission that took me about 500 meters passed this one waterfall near the Cosmodrome. I hopped on the bike and BAM was there. So it was nice for that, but also, every other side mission is a crawl, so I never did the same thing again, so it seemed odd

I would absolutely love it if they took the movement effects from either sleeping dogs or watch dogs and dropped them in this. I can't see how it would be hard. There are already buttons that do dick all in the game, so just add a movement effect to it and you are done. (Vaulting over shit, sliding across smooth surfaces, Climbing instead of halo double jumps) also, what is your guys thoughts on the Sparrow bike? I like it at times, but the movement feels jankie, I hope they work on it

Never understood the upside down air rifle on those things

They guy that owns the University I work for drives on everyday to work. (Also owns some porsche, no idea the model) I will take a pic next time he is actually in the office

Between FIFA and this, I have done nothing today also I think it says quite a bit that I have put more time into this alpha test than I have into Watch Dogs so far

How many Wild turkeys can fit in there, looks like only one, so, uh, make the next one bigger and maybe put some padding in it :-D

Well shit. so its going to be basically like WoW is now. You can get to max level and tool around by playing Solo, but all the really cool shit is going to require a Raid. yea, thats why I stopped playing WoW... I don't have the time or energy anymore to devote to raids. I wish I did Regardless though, this game has given me something I wanted for years now. A serious Borderlands experience

Awesome, thanks man

I made a Titan, but my son wants me to try the Warlock next. Not really a fan of the random people jumping in my game. Is there a way to turn that off? I also didn't see an option for single player, I have avoided all info for this game so far, but as it looks right now I don't think I will be picking it up if it doens't have that. or at least a way to lock out my "server" I AFK way to much to play with folks.

I will leave it for another week and then move it. Lets see what happens (if anything) with the SEO settings I am working with

for each game of the world cup. sorry should have been more clear.

just got my code, will hit it pretty hard tomorrow oh yea, what system for you guys, I posted it to my PS4

Do you guys want your own place for this stuff, or individual game threads?

Not until he and I finish talking. the starting point you all already know, SEO After that Dave and I need to talk

http://www.27bslash6.com/ This guy is a comedy writer, sadly this never actually happened :-/

oh damn, House fires are just horrible, I can't even imagine what that family is going through.
