So where exactly is the "cyber" in Doom 4's cyberdemon? In the little glowy chest lights? Is that it?

Doom 3 cybie's polished fighter jet parts or whatever they are don't make much sense for hell, but it's still better than that

Wow, that's very racist toward animes. Here's an interesting piece of trivia about Fatal Frame.

Seriously, looks extremely dull. Good on them for trying a female protagonist, I guess.

I could have sworn Bombshell was aborted like 5 years ago. Then again given how long 3d Realms takes to make games, maybe they've been working on that janky looking piece of poo poo this whole time.

This is actually made by Interceptor, the devs who made the kinda ok Rise of the Triad remake.

They bought the remnants of 3DRealms and Apogee and their back catalogue, and have been releasing ports of all the old games and that giant Apogee Collection, but found out they still didn't have the right to make new Duke Nukem games.

This is why Bombshell looks like a Duke Nukem Diablo game with the serial numbers filed off.


Gearbox, meanwhile, absorbed the black hole of anti-talent that was the Duke Nukem Forever team and still own the rights to make new Duke Nukem games - which they guard jealously for some godforsaken reason. It's not like they're ever going to make a new Duke Nukem game. Interceptor got started, after all, because they just wanted to make a UE3 remake of DN3D, but Gearbox just won't let them.

Duke Nukem was never a great franchise and the only reason some nerds still care is because they were dumb grade schoolers when they played those games.

The campaign was mediocre and way too loving easy but no more so than call of duty or halo or any other two-weapon with regenerating health console FPS. Plus it had that one level where you get shrunk and at least that was something different

Tales of Zesteria is Dragon Age Origins the anime version, but with better combat mechanics.

First Party Member is some pretty boy, second is a princess knight, third is bizarre eccentric older girl, fourth is a sarcastic younger girl who's brother is a dragon, and then you get 3 crazy batshit insane people to round off the party.


I'm really surprised that Bandai namco was able to take a bioware formula and make a better game out of it. Really if you liked the first Dragon Age you will like TOZ, it even has a larger world to explore than Dragon Age. And party banter out the wazoo.

It's a fantasy jRPG with datesim elements. It's not a Bioware's invention. Dragon Age, however, features somewhat engaging tactical combat, while Moe of Generic Fantasyland is bad even in that regard.

Sorry, anime is bad even in video games.

\/\/\/ This is also true.

Yeah, let's take a protagonist with a badass robot arm, and make a shooter. Only instead of first or third person, let's make an arpg. Only instead of platinum or DMC action, let's model it after Diablo, the most boring kind of arpg combat ever.
