    There was one post in the thread after I posted of a dude who was like "man are people going to keep complaining about the game? I thought we had driven all of those people out like 50 pages ago."

    It was kind of illustrative of how G&T people expect their threads to go.

    Seriously, I read that and I was like "Its just will, and he has valid complaints you guys are ignoring."

    The new thread has a super creepy OP though, so there is that.

    It's certainly annoying, to be fair, but I mean, at least based on the demo, isn't that all just an excuse to have a lot of combat (which in my eyes was dull combat).

    Yeah I hear ya there, I dislike when a game is apparently trying to sell you on sex appeal and boring archetypes over all else.

    I can't believe it but someone compared the plot of baynoetta to RE 4 saying RE 4 was over the top like that. My head it hurts.

    Darksiders looks bad to me. It looks like it is trying so hard to be spawn-era dark and edgy. I don't really know much about the game itself though. The trailers I saw didn't leave much of an impression on me, personally.

    Alright, time to show my TMNT nerdiness.

    The first movie was based on the comic books more than the TV show. Just like how the early seasons of the TV show more closely resembled the comic books as well. That's part of the reason for Casey Jones playing a prominent role in the movie and in the early part of the show, as he has a big role in the comics. Now, what winds up happening is the second and third movies move away from the comics and create their own storyline. At the same time, the TV show does the same thing. So basically, there's 3 different TMNT story lines going at the same time. One's a comic, one's an animated show and the third is live action movies. Eventually, the movies peter out and the TV show comes to an end. An attempt is made at a live action TV show which also has it's own unique storyline and that bombs after one season. Then, after 6 years, a new show is started in 2003 that promises to follow the comic storyline. And it has done that pretty well and remained popular. I can't even believe it's been on the air almost 7 years now. The original TV show lasted 10 seasons, though the last two were only like 8 episodes a piece (at it's height, Season 5 was 35 episodes long).

    Unfortunately, Eastman and Laird had a falling out a few years back and I think Laird bought all the rights from Eastman (I might have that backwards).

    There's more to this.

    Eastman and Laird wanted to do Bebop and Rocksteady for the second turtles movie, and have that scientist be like Krangs brother or something, basically an alien in disguise, but at this point the comics and toys were much further ahead than the comic books, and the studio really put the clamps over the creators and that's why we had the ninja rap.

    That's when eastman and laird started falling out from the studios. Their original position was that "okay, we know that it's kid friendly, but we're keeping the comics our baby, and that's what matters..." but eventually that just wasn't the case.

    So onto TMNT3....

    Well, there's no official reasoning as to why it sucked, but basically Lloyd Kaufman (the toxic avenger fame) stated in his book that the studios only bought the rights to the toxic crusaders to strong arm eastman and laird into backing a third ninja turtle movie after the fallout from the second one, stating "we can always get another property"

    edit: according to wiki, when Kaufman discovered this, along with the fact that they were never going to make a toxic crusaders movie, he actually sued the studios and won. So go him.

    The other reason for "Go Ninja Go Ninja Go" and the stupid asian kid was because the first movie was seen by some parents as too violent, too gritty and too offensive to be a PG movie. So the studio wanted to tone it down and add in the kid-in-peril character. Remember in the first one that April, while not being a trained ninja or anything, is not a pussy. She stands up for herself quite a bit. Casey Jones is also a vigilante psychopath. The humans in the first movie can hold their own ground. But the studios felt that they needed some sort of kid in there to relate to the kid audience.

    For me, that's part of the reason why the first movie holds up so well and the second one doesn't. It's not dumbed down for the audience. It's actually a good movie.

    The scene when Donatello and Casey are trading childish insults inside the garage is exactly the same kind of shit we do to eachother here too.

    It's like EA sat down and here's their meeting:

    "Ok, this God of War bullshit pisses me off. Why didn't we come up with a game like this?"

    "We were too busy making Madden."

    "Well just change the names of the players and put a new year on it, let's make a God of War game."

    "What should we use? It has to be mythical... mythical as fuck."

    "How about Dante's Inferno?"

    "What the fuck is that shit?"

    "It's a book..."

    "Stop right there. We're not making a game about a book. No one reads anymore."

    "Well in the book they go through hell. We could make a game about that."

    "You're on to something. Also, let's put a lot of tits in it."

    I beat the first dungeon last night and so far it's pretty awesome. Nice mix of God of War and Zelda, though the combat is a bit repetitive and simplistic.

    Natal apparently is going to allow you to set up channels such as 'no fatties' (same with the games). Like this is used in an actual press release. Though I hope it final means allowing you to use yourself as an avatar in games, that technology was available literally a decade ago. What is taking you fuckers.

    I don't feel the need to buy like, 20 games a year. How many games did I own for N64? For Gamecube? Maybe 20 a piece. I already have half that for my Wii. I mean, I just bought GTA 4 on PC for 8 bucks. I bought Fallout 3 for 25. Killing Floor for 20. HoMM5 for 10. Titan Quest Gold for 10. These are mostly old games, but meh - I am still playing TF2 and that game is old as well. I was playing WC3 up to a few months ago and that game was old.
