I hereby propose Ezio be the Memetic Badass of Video Games.

Why? Because of that scene at the end of the trailer? then watch this:



Oh, juicy news, battlefield multiplayer beta is avaliable for early download on PSN, unfornutally, it is only avaliable for those who bought medal of honor tier 1 edition or pre ordered the game via Origin.

And new trailer out of course:

Battlefield 3 beta is downloading as I type this down!!!! I'm excited for this!!!!!!

Just got the Ico & Shadow of the Colossus collection. Anyone with a PS3 should think about giving these games a shot. They're very unique, though not for everyone. But I think some of you guys might like them.

Sorry, but demi-gods are prohibited from entering the human badass contest.

Also: Dark Souls in a few more days... Im waiting to get my ass kicked.

Well I can't get into any games it just keeps telling me "lost connection with EA online server". And the one time I did get into it was a total of 1 minute cause my girlfriends sister unplugged my router to plug in a damn toaster and now I can't get into a game again. I'm really frustrated. I know I'm not the only one with the problem of the "EA online" thing. I checked the forums for EA and it seems a lot of people are having the same problems along with not getting the beta code for it.

[shadow_Uzumaki]

Sorry, Ico and Shadow of the Colossus bore the hell out of me.

Ezio is the current mortal avatar of the slayer of everyone who's ever died in fiction, ie Altair. No one's safe from him...NO ONE. Except underwater, then you're in Davy Jones' domain along with HIS KRAKEN!


It's explained here: http://tvtropes.org/...sAssassinsCreed

But yeah, demi-gods and other ludicrously enhanced humans/beings aren't really in the running. 'Badass Normals' only apply.
Why do you think Batman has that reputation? Solid Snake and Big Boss are in the running too....

I lawl'd. Thanks, Shadow.

[shadow_Uzumaki]

You're welcome

Also, Dead Island got patched. Dunno what it solved.

Probably fixed the characters going bug-eyed during the cutscenes. You know, the really important stuff. Because as we all know, everyone wanted to play it for its stimulating plot and intelligent, complex characters.

Dunno. The characters were as deep as the blood puddles from a zombie kill.

Trailer for the upcoming EA game, Syndicate:



It's an remake of the game of the same name, quite controversial when launched because it was consireded to extremelly violent, and this one don't seem to be exception. I liked the gameplay features, but can't help to think that it looks very similar of Deus Ex.

Battlefield 3 beta's out for everyone.

Looks great imo. Deus Ex is more of a stealth game where Syndicate seems far more action oriented. The setting does seem practically identical, though, even if the theme is different.

Started playing the beta of Battlefield 3, and I will give my opinion. I didn't liked it at all. It's incredibly buggy, even for an beta, enemies appear and dissapear out of no were, the jumping over objects is flawed, it's extremely hard to distinguish enemies from allies, and an red tag usually do not appear over their heads when they are on your field of vision. You also have an regenerative health bar, that regenerates on an incredibly slow pace. So, in my opinion, DICE gonna need to fix a LOT of things if they want me to buy their game.

There are spawn zones in this game so yea, if you're in them people are going to pop out of nowhere. People also can spawn on their squadmates so that's a possibility as well(you kill the person but their squadmate spawns at the same time they die. it happens...).

Jumping over things is kind of meh, I agree. Though, I don't really think it's game ruining.

It is kind of difficult to tell the difference between teams but after playing a while you get better at it.

The slow regeneration is intentional. There's a reason there are medkits in this game... Not to mention shock paddles...

I suppose this issues might be eventually fixed (or not), but what really got me is how, erm, lackluster the multiplayer feels, to me, it looks so generic, nothing really stands out, the game doen't have any of those life like visuals from all those trailers.

Hmm, I didn't really feel that way. I think my expectations were just a lot different, though. I do have some technical issues with the game but that's about it. Well, I guess I'd have liked to see another map with a different style, but yea...

Anyways, is anyone's screen periodically flashing blue or red in the beta ? It's not happening all the time but it drives me nuts when it does.

The game's knifing is kind of glitchy too...

[shadow_Uzumaki]

Slow knifing. And it's so hard to tell enemies from friends. Can't tell you how much I stood in front of an enemy thinking they were allies and shot at allies thinking they were friends. Would it kill them to make the friend-enemy indicators bigger? The tiny red-blue triangles pretty much blend in with the generic gray that was everywhere....

I glitch blue quite a bit when I played. I also freeze a lot. Also, would it be nice if they can let us leave the room after the round ends? It makes me paranoid that my stats doesn't save after each game.

I also noted that is somehow quite hard to spot enemies moving on mid-range to long distances, Almost as if they blended on the background, a least make the uniforms in different colors. I so far didn't had the blue screen glitch, gonna download the pc version tonight to see if there is much difference.
