    SimCity is definitely an Xcom sitch for me where even if they add a bunch to it, I just have no desire to go back and play it again

    guys i'm playing the battlefield 4 beta right now and it's aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaawesome

    it runs perfectly on my 360, i can't imagine how great it'll be on a ps4

    Just played a round on the Domination map.
    After capturing a target, I ran out of one skyscraper just to see another skyscraper collapse completely.
    This was on the PS3 beta, fuck knows what the PC and next-gen versions will be like.

    Battlefield 4 is going to be alright. No need to worry, people.

    As someone who has never touched a master system, that intro is pretty dang fantastic

    neo geo arcade and game boy color are super nostalgic

    and the ps1 intro gives me chills every time

    So not all the Pokemon are based off of animals this time

    One of them...
    one of them is a keychain

    another one is a sword

    that evolves into two swords

    PS1 intro is still fantastic. That Master System one is neat too.

    I guess I haven't played a 360 in a long time because I have not seen that new boot screen. The PS3's newest one is super nice though, very classy.

    Steam pre-order for AssCreed IV is up. http://store.steampowered.com/app/242050/
    There's a lot of pre-order bonuses and special edition stuff for that game.

    EDIT: Aaaaaand it's, as an Ubisoft game and this seems to be a requirement, a month later than the console versions.

    It looks like the PC version just gets all the console specific stuff. Like the Avaline missions are just for the PS version?

    The PS1 noise is glorious perfection and should be the noise for all Sony consoles.

    Pokemon haven't been purely animals in...ever.

    Voltorb/Electrode, Magnetmite/Magneton, Muk/Grimer, Porygon/Porygon2/Porygon Z, Trubbish/Garbador, Baltoy/Claydol, Golett/Golurk.

    All of those are Pokemon that are either man made or artifical

    I think that the character designs have clearly fallen off a bit since the original 151. A lot of the newer ones look like some kind of odd Pokemon knock-off or like a drawing and style exercise by art students who didn't quite get the style down.

    Basically you can't argue that position because you're gonna pick and choose bad designs and I'd pick and choose good ones

    But whenever someone says "Pokemon designs have really gone downhill since Gen 1" I just shrug because I think that's not true at all; some of my favorite designs come from newer generations

    My absolute favorites come from Gen 3, 4 and 5

    I am of course deciding which Pokemon to get like I have since Red and Blue

    Whichever Pokemon on the box is cooler

    There is no competition, the one on the cover of Y is way way cooler than the one on the cover of X

    I feel like they thought they needed something that looks like a Y and so the thing on the cover looks like the Pokemon version of some kind of Resident Evil enemy. It's kind of gross looking.

    As somebody who hasn't really kept up with the Pokemon series it's still rad as shit to me that every game includes the previous regions.

    Sorta

    Mewtwo and Charizard, unlike other Mega Evolutions, have two different evolutions. One for X, one for Y.

    Here's Charizard:
    d063d2b775dee12a8cc73f05d7b9b589.png
    X on the left, Y on the right. X is Fire/Dragon and has boosted attack, Y is Fire/Flying and has boosted special attack.

    Mewtwo:
    tumblr_inline_mt2xmyKlRY1ru5ffx.png
    Same deal. X is Psychic/Fighting, Y is pure Psychic.

    They...they do not.

    I mean they have Pokemon from previous regions. But only Gold/Silver and their remakes actually went back there.
