I just want to put out there that people that don't like Grave of Fireflies because the kids acted illogically are the worst people.

:what: Jesus. It's based on an autobiographical novel iirc too which makes that criticism all the worse. Let's not even get into more thematic poo poo like the price of pride.

Paprika was oddly disappointing to me. I loved the visual style but I was kinda expecting Ghibli vs. GitS/AKIRA and the writing quality wasn't close. Still very enjoyable.

World at war was the only call of duty I enjoyed past 2 and this is obviously because of setting and not because it was made by the CoD developer that doesn't blow complete chunks.
also it has the only music track from a cod game that I actually noticed while playing

World at war was garbage. It's an exact copy of CoD4 but with even worse balancing and a ww2 paint job. I mean it's not as bad as their first game, CoD3, but that's only because they piggybacked off of Infinity Ward.

I was poor as a kid so lol at paying money to play games on the internet so if there were balance problems I didn't notice them. Bolt action guns with iron sights are just always fun in video games.

Nah, mw1 really was like that, the player death from atom bomb was pretty innovative at the time.

I can't recall any of the stories of CoD after 2. It turned into Tom Clancy military tech fetish stuff quickly, and I probably only remember 2 because the Russian campaign was their best attempt at making the video game version of Enemy at the Gates.

This is what I really loved about 2, everybody used those bolt action rifles and I could run up on them with more modern style close range weapons then take their gun and dominate.

the first console call of duty also completely ripped out those missions and redid them.

The no Russian mission from 2 would actually be cool and notable if you played as a civilian and it was done survival horror style. Instead I just have to sit through a 15 minute cutscene everytime I want to replay the game.

Of course its call of duty so what probably would have happened is you follow an old grizzled bad rear end from cover to cover and then watch him do cool stuff.

I drink as I play dark souls and I only notice how drunk I am when I attempt to walk across some rafters or a small platform. I spent about 2 of pvp last night doing fatrolls because I was at 70.1% encumbrance and apparently too intoxicated to notice :downs:

They were showing Eraserhead here last year and some couple brought their young kids in. It's not like the movie is too violent or gory, but I don't see why you would put your kids through such a painfully long movie. They must have done something real bad to deserve that kind of punishment.

Eraserhead is only an hour and fifteen minutes. It just feels longer thanks to the nightmare soundscape.

was borderlands the pre sequel enjoyable at all

I feel like I'd enjoy it since I enjoy borderlands and will probably enjoy borderlands 2 and if it's just more mindless shooting with random guns as random wacky characters then I'd probably like it, but I'm not sure how it and its dlc have been received

I think the gameplay is better then 2 sorta because it has some verticality. but the humor is much worse.

It went to the crysis guys after THQ blew up. apparantly it then got sold to deep silver. so two management changes in a row bodes well.

I am mostly interested in it because its a first person open world shooter in an urban environment and I like the guerrilla aesthetic.

EDIT- British developers...Nothing good ever comes from brits.
