    I didn't really consider the Last of Us a particularly good reveal... it's another zombie game.

    Hey, any game where I can play as a teenage girl with a switchblade, I'm there.

    So I'm guessing the logic behind having Last of Us be the first reveal is to make people think all the reveals will be as good as it. Then they put the mediocre ones in the middle (Rainbow Six, Spider-Man and Transformers) so that by then people just say fuck it and stick around for the remaining good ones at the end?

    That is one way to look at it.

    So far I don't think any of the exclusive teaser trailers they have released has been particularly exciting. Maybe they are saving the good ones for the end. Or there are no good ones.

    Mediocre? Unco-, you made a powerful enemy today.

    I know 'Bee isn't going to bite it (he's in Prime, after all), but still, the atmosphere of that! Jeez... And it's always nice seeing Ironhide be a badass, especially with how poorly he's been treated by Bayformers and Prime.

    Uncharted was mistakenly believed to be a Tomb Raider clone in its previews.

    ... okay, any goodwill from the TF trailer is gone. The hell.

    Charlie's starting to sound like Michael. Getting up there in age/his hard life is coming back to bite him.

    NO applause for Rage. wow.

    Last of Us was good?

    Underwhelming maybe.

  • AthenorAthenor Battle Hardened Optimist The Skies of HiigaraRegistered User regular
    Okay, that was good. MW3 getting tea-bagged. :)

    Well, the VGAs have the duty to reinforce gamer stereotypes to the public.

    I am sure it was planned, just the lead guy running and the military guy NOT chasing wasn't.

    Why cow?

    Epic was founded in 92? But.. I could've sworn I owned an Epic Megagames CD before then with Jazz Jackrabbit on it..


    So, just to reiterate: Teabagging, Charlie Sheen, and "Gamer Goddesses" have all gotten/will get more airtime than Miyamoto.

    Hell, that cow almost got more airtime.

    I agree with this, and the art-style is a refreshing change from the endless cavalcade of space marine-like protagonists that Epic loves.

    This teabagging thing is really not funny and a pretty shitty stunt to pull on people who actually spend the time making these games.

    From NAUGHTY DOG. And we don't even know what type of game it is, so dismissing it with "it's another zombie game" is pretty daft.

    I played War of Cybertron and mediocre is exactly what I'd call it. They'd have to make a lot of improvements to actually make it good and maybe they'd be able to if they weren't on Activision's bullshit yearly schedule. But since they are, I'm expecting mediocrity.

    But it IS another zombie game. I mean, I saw them right there in the trailer, zombos.

    Yeah seriously. I don't get it. What's with the hate on The Last of Us? It's NAUGHTY DOG guys. I'm so confused at this stuff. And yet Fortnite doesn't get hate when it's ALSO a Zombie game. Hm. Regardless. Give it more of a chance. You saw a quick trailer that showed no gameplay. Let's see what happens eh?

    And hey. I loved Transformers. I thought it was a great game. Although I know lots didn't care too much. I found it amazing fun though.

    I meant so what if it's 'another zombie game'? Casting a broad generalization on it isn't doing you any favors. There are a lot of 'another (thing) games' in the industry, yet a lot of those are still good. Arkham City, for example is 'another punching dudes game' if you want to be so vague about it.
