I am only excited for Nintendo and Square. Well kinda Ubisoft for AC 3. I'm already ready for disappointed by Capcom after them not bringing MEI 2 here and giving up Legends 3.

What is the one remake you would love to see?
The remakes of all Final Fantasy Games on PS1 especially Final Fantasy 7 :D

Captain Fabio June 3rd, 2012 2:19 AM

Welcome mavy42!:D

And I don't care what is 'listed' to be shown at E3, I am always excited for it. I should really set up a big msn convo or skype convo for it. Not skype talking but, something like that. Humm...


CarefulWetPaint June 3rd, 2012 2:21 AM

Perhaps set up an IRC channel for the event Fabio? Something like that would probably work! And then anyone could join.

Im excited to see some more on Assassins Creed 3, probably what I am most excited about. I hope they talk about it, Im not even sure if they will though :(

What is the one remake you would love to see? Personally, I wouldn't mind seeing Legend of Dragoon, as well as Pokémon Yellow and Crystal remade.

Work happens. I know that quite well myself. Thank you for the welcome. :)

There are too many games I'm looking forward to, actually. Asides from WatchDogs and Assassin's Creed 3, I'm also looking kinda forward to Borderlands 2 (Gunzerker looks so awesome), South Park: A Stick of Truth, and giving out The Elder Scrolls online a try (even though I've heard bad things about it, it still doesn't look -that- bad to me. However, if you have to pay a subscription for it, screw that).

CarefulWetPaint June 8th, 2012 11:40 PM

I am definitely looking forward to Assassin Creed 3, that game looks like its going to be amazing! Also Halo 4 should be interesting as well, mainly because I want to see what 343 does with it.. I hope it doesnt suck cause its not by Bungie. :(

Also Pokemon Black And White 2 are up there on my list of what I am excited for :)

Shining Raichu June 10th, 2012 3:44 AM

God of War looked amazing. That was the only thing in the entire E3 that really surprised me. The Last of Us looked pretty cool too, but God of War just looked like so much fun XD

Captain Fabio June 10th, 2012 11:23 AM

God of War is always good and it does look amazing. I think the ACIII does look awesome too, I am really looking forward to it.


Shining Raichu June 20th, 2012 5:03 AM

I've never played a God of War game before - in fact, I had no clue such a franchise even existed - but I'm starting to wish I knew of it earlier because I had fun just watching the guy play it. I am a huge fan of supernatural games though, so it makes sense XD

In way more exciting news for Australian gamers, we're finally getting our R18+ rating!!!! That means games that fall under that rating are actually going to be allowed into the country, as opposed to just banned to protect THE CHILDREN FROM SEEING SUCH HORRORS. It's a law that's long overdue, but better late than never :D

As far as games I'm looking forward to, I guess Bioshock Infinite. I'm not looking forward to many new games, honestly.

Captain Fabio June 20th, 2012 6:31 AM

Welcome Corey! :D
There are a couple of games that will be out soon that I am looking forward to; exciting time for gamers.

and that is awesome news about the R18+ ratings; Australia's gaming community catching up!


Algo Fonix June 20th, 2012 6:57 AM

Thanks!

I'm glad they finally got that. It's loooong overdue.

CarefulWetPaint June 20th, 2012 1:29 PM

How great is it that AUSTRALIA has finally gotten an R 18+ rating! No more massive censorship on our games anymore! YAYAYAY! This is the best gaming news of the year for Australians I must admit!

Captain Fabio June 21st, 2012 1:41 AM

Australian's do get a bit of a, bad deal with the gaming community with the late games and such, but at least the lifting of the R18 rating will, maybe, make Australian gamers happier.


CarefulWetPaint June 21st, 2012 5:22 PM

Yeah we really do just get done over all the time with all our games either getting censored or made late for no decent reason.

At least now the games wont be getting editted and gutted like the use too. It'll be good to have non more censors on games like left 4 dead and Grand thief Auto! YAYAYAY

Captain Fabio June 22nd, 2012 12:21 AM

I know what you mean, I hate it when games get edited; just makes them feel cheap. The HD remake of SH2, no blood! :(

New question:

What is your most hated gaming mechanic? Can be from 'escort X person here' to quick time events.

Shining Raichu June 22nd, 2012 6:31 PM

Fabio I feel like a terrible gamer but I don't understand your question :(

CarefulWetPaint June 22nd, 2012 10:22 PM

My most hated gaming mechanic, oh this is tricky I hate so many yet can't remember any I truly hate at the same time haha.

I really don't like the combat system in the Final Fantasy games though, that really makes the game unbearable for me such a mega pain! Thats one I never forgive..

Algo Fonix June 23rd, 2012 12:00 AM

Quick time events. D:

I didn't think a lot of them when I ran into them in Resident Evil 4 but hot damn if I'm not sick of them now.

Shining Raichu June 27th, 2012 6:40 PM

Well we've stagnated again, so lets ask another question!

What is the best movie you've seen that was made from a video game? And has there ever been a time when you enjoyed the movie more than the game itself?

CarefulWetPaint June 27th, 2012 9:04 PM

What is the best movie you've seen that was made from a video game? And has there ever been a time when you enjoyed the movie more than the game itself?

Easily without a doubt Final Fantasy VII Advent Children Complete. Such an amazing amazing movie and hnnnnnnnnnng it makes you want to play the game so much. The animation and fights scenes in it my god! I definitely enjoyed it much more then the game. Its epic! It even has a plot as well!!!

I find nothing wrong with the music in Daytona USA, it's one of the things that makes the game so unique.

First you get the engine noise, then you get 'ROLLING STAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAART' :D

My favorite is the original game series that I grew up, the series? The infamous Sly Cooper trilogy, even though I got to congratulate Sucker Punch for their amazing storytelling and direction that they the games with and I hope their successors follow Sucker Punch success and ideas as well.

Mario or Luigi? Luigi, please. I didn't care about Luigi when I grew up, I always played as Mario and gave second fiddle to my siblings.

So yeah, it's Mario.

I have never experienced such a thing.
For me, the games are always better than the films. The first Resident Evil film was good, but no way near as good as the first game. Now they could hand me poop on a DVD and it would be better than the newest films.

PAUL ANDERSON, STOP RUINING ONE OF MY FAVORITE CHILDHOOD GAMES! ;_;


Kroso July 20th, 2012 3:54 AM

@Captain Fabio, I don't mind. I'm not a impatient fellow after all, and I don't mind waiting for a response from time to time.

Also, I agree about the films ruining the games and so forth. But when done right, the film does justice to the source martial that it was using.


Q.What is your most hated gaming mechanic? Can be from 'escort X person here' to quick time events

A.Honestly, I'm fine with every mechanic that isn't involved in a shooter. However, every single mechanic tend to get boring and may offer little to no replay value at all.

Railgun July 20th, 2012 5:57 AM

button mashing that makes you rage.


I never finished Naruto Broken Bonds due to the button bashing only getting halfway when I was pounding it so hard. My fingers hurt.

I liked the Mortal Kombat movies but its been long time since I lasted seen them. No there has never been a time when I enjoyed the movie more the game itself.

Captain Fabio July 25th, 2012 12:16 AM

The first MK film was awesome, but then they got really painful to watch! XD



*Shudder*


Shining Raichu July 25th, 2012 8:01 AM

I saw the first Mortal Kombat film and that was painful enough haha. It was so cheesy it nearly made me lactose intolerant :P

I think my favourite video game movie would have to be Lara Croft: Tomb Raider. I enjoyed that movie far more than I enjoyed any of the Tomb Raider games, and I loved its sequel too! I'm shocked nobody has thought to bring this up yet!!!

Algo Fonix July 25th, 2012 6:52 PM

I really like Mortal Kombat a lot. Buuuuut I watched... Enter the Dragon, I think. Man. MK got knocked down a few notches, because it's basically a remake of that movie.

And who doesn't love Double Dragon? Right? ...right?

Kurui July 31st, 2012 9:38 PM

Most hated mechanic: Poor battle mechanics development in general. Including skills that become obsolete just as soon as next skills are released/obtained. And the stupid wait/action bar/gauge for turn based battles. Whoever came up with that boring system should be tarred and feathered. .__.;; FFS just let it be strategically turn based or FAA. The two should NEVER mix!

The worst mechanic in some games, is your ability to jump. It is atrocious. Makes most games harder than they should be. Nuff' said.

Kroso August 2nd, 2012 5:52 AM

^May I ask why you hate the jumping mechanic?

CarefulWetPaint August 4th, 2012 1:19 AM

Well seems like discussion has tanked sooo new topic time!

How often do you get a new game and what is the way you most commonly purchase your games?

Kroso August 4th, 2012 4:24 AM

Q.How often do you get a new game and what is the way you most commonly purchase your games?

A. I get them every few months or so, the most common is retail but I sometimes get them off PSN.

Shining Raichu August 8th, 2012 6:52 AM

I usually get games from EB Games at the mall lol, like people should. If people keep buying everything online game stores will go out of business and the economy will DIE. IT WILL DIE. IS THAT WHAT YOU WANT?!

But honestly I don't get games very often anymore. Probably 3 or 4 times a year.

Yes, that's exactly what I want. They would be doing the gaming industry a huge favor if they went out of business.

Shining Raichu August 11th, 2012 6:21 AM

Oh snap. Why do you say that?

CarefulWetPaint August 11th, 2012 2:33 PM

Why would you want game stores to close down? This makes no sense!

Alice August 11th, 2012 9:25 PM

Well, not all game stores, but gamestop(which owns EB games), and a few other really bad ones. Beyond the horrible price gouging and horrible customer service, they are the main source of used games, and even try to encourage people to buy used copies of games when they're already intent on buying a new copy. Honestly, they're worse than pirates.

Worry about the game devs going out of business, not the game stores.

Shining Raichu August 13th, 2012 7:14 AM

Wait wait wait - so you're telling me that Gamestop owns EB Games? I wonder why they bothered having EB Games out here at all. Why don't they just call it Gamestop the world over and be done with it? I've been trying not to say "EB Games" this whole time thinking nobody would have any idea what I was talking about :P

This blows my mind.

Though for what it's worth, I've never bought a used game from there. I buy all my games new :3

Railgun August 14th, 2012 7:04 PM

So EB Games does exist I knew it. I find myself buying games online more then Gamestop now. however Newbury Comics sometimes has games for pretty cheap. I found Naruto Generations for 19.99 the other day. I think I buy about 20ish games a year. Grant you I buy a lot of older stuff a lot so its fairly cheap.

CarefulWetPaint August 15th, 2012 1:53 PM

Oh I have the most intense hate for eb games. Not only are they over Priced but they also sold me a broken copy of platinum that wouldn't save ! I hate them. I usually go to big w or Kmart now cause they are usually cheaper.

And to answer my own topic I probably get five Or so games a year.

Cherrim August 15th, 2012 6:01 PM

I buy... a lot of games per year. :( Apparently I've added 30 to my Backloggery this year and I don't even add everything. To be fair, tons are from indie bundles and the like. I probably get most of my games on Steam.

Aside from digital downloads, though, I tend to get all my games at EB Games. It's the most convenient store that sells games in my area and I don't mind their used selection. In fact, the only problem I've ever had with a game from EB Games was a game I bought new. :P (I didn't try to play it until long after I would have been able to return it though orz.)

EB Games is a pretty decent company in Canada. I mean, they'll still rip you off if you sell your games back to them and their used games are super pricy if the title is popular but they don't usually push subscriptions or Edge cards or whatever here. They've started to, though, which bugs me. :(

EB Games was a separate company and I believe Gamestop bought it. Canada is nearby so eventually they started opening Gamestops here and they converted all the EB Games into Gamestops... but now they're in the process of converting them all back for some reason. I imagine it's our proximity to the states that made it a worthy venture in the first place but out of NA, Gamestop has never existed so changing it would destroy brand image.

But yes, they're the exact same company. EB Games used to be a thing in the US too so people will still know what you're talking about. :P

TornZero August 24th, 2012 1:15 PM

Best start posting again when the topic's on something I can share my own experience about. *Wants to look like a decent contributor. >w>*

Anyways, I for some reason have never had a bad experience with GameStop across the 4-5 stores I've visited in my life, especially the one I frequent now. The Game Advisers never pushed anything on me; they only asked me questions if they weren't sure of an answer (such as renewing my Power-Up Rewards silver card); they only recommended games based on ones I was buying/have bought.

Hell, one time I even returned a game I bought new (with the package opened, game played and all for about a week before it was totally beaten), they refunded me the whole $60 because they couldn't "even see a speck of dust" on it, in the words of the clerk. I feel lucky that I haven't dealt with any terrible Advisers like so many others have.
