There's a mobile game called Warpath that released a live action trailer that kicks ass:


Too bad that actual game looks like shit:


Maybe allocate your funds to actual game development and not marketing next time, right?

I'm just upset that all the memorable jingles from monster hunter came from a generic sound library

Was Quake III Arena the best Quake in your eyes? I always put the Quake series like this:

Quake II > Quake III Arena > Quake > Quake IV

Am I crazy when I say that Quake IV is actually my second favorite of the Quake series? And that Quake II is, despite it's solid quality, actually I think the weakest (though the rail gun keeps it from being bad)?

I’ve just been going on a spree of old franchises I never played. I beat Metal Gear Solid 1 on a PlayStation classic a week ago, and now I’m just waiting on the PS3 legacy collection I bought on eBay.

I missed the boat on PS1. I've played a few "greatest hit" titles: Parasite Eve, Brave Fencer Musashi, MGS1 and Dewprism.

Been going through Hitman Blood Money (with a walkthrough, as I am incompetent as **** XD) for the first time.

Gotta say, it is surprisingly compelling being able to take out the targets in such ludicrous manners.

You got to trial and error Blood Money. There's so many different completion routes it's almost like cheating yourself to use a walkthrough the first time through. The only really linear levels is the first and last ones (not counting the bonus one). Do yourself a favor and ditch the guide.

Just don't wanna end up stuck on a particular level. Yes, I am a complete noob at this game.

I don't know if you got to this mission yet but for a lulzy kill (you WILL NOT get silent assassin rating if you do this) the bottom of the hot tub is glass. I thought this was the funniest shit when I figured it out. The two Vegas missions are some of my favorites in the series. Its such a good game.

Something I have noticed about the newer Mortal Kombat games, aside from the dumb costume choices for MK 11 is the new tradition of including horror characters as DLC guest characters in every installment.

MK9 had Freddy Kruger while MKX had Jason Voorhees, Leatherface, Alien, and Predator, and the newest MK game has Spawn.

The issue is that with the Disney buyout of FOX, we probably won't be seeing any return appearances of Alien, Predator, or other FOX-owned franchises like Terminator since Disney is notoriously stingy with licensing their IP's.

However, I do have an idea for guest fighters as DLC in the next Mortal Kombat game. Maybe not as main headliners, but they could be included as part of a DLC with other Warner Brothers-owned horror characters.

I'd include Count Von Tokentakker and Evil Marie from the old 90's light gun game CarnEvil as guest fighters.

Yeah, it's obscure as fuck but it is horror-related and more importantly, CarnEvil is a Midway franchise that is now owned by Warner Brothers so there's not an issue with licensing costs or other legal hurdles.

Apparently, the same deal that allowed WB to acquire the Mortal Kombat IP also included the rights to CarnEvil and a few other Midway games from back in the 90's.

I know it will never happen, but there's nothing keeping it from happening other than the age and obscurity of CarnEvil.

On that note, I miss light gun games. Shame that Time Crisis 5 still doesn't have a console port, so it might as well be Japan-exclusive.

The only guest I wanted for MK11 is Michael Myers. If we could get him, Ash and Tall Man, I’d be over the moon.

I kind of wanna get Party Hard 1 and 2 off the E Shop. I kind of like the art style of it.

I recently got Story of Seasons: Olive Town. Pretty good.

I bought Party Hard on Steam when I was living in a shitty neighbourhood where my neighbours blasted music at all hours. Very cathartic. It was a no brainer to buy it again on Switch.

Eh, I'd personally prefer something akin to The Matrix Path Of Neo should an Evangelion video game get made. Just go full on meta and tongue and cheek.

On a different note, I just finished Splinter Cell Chaos Theory for the first time. I think I can safely call it my third favorite stealth game, with Thief II being my second favorite, and MGS2 and MGS3 being tied for first.

Any other stealth games I should try? I heard that Hitman Blood Money is pretty good.

It's only facet of the gameplay but the stealth in the Batman Arkham games I always felt was very fleshed out, giving you mutiple ways to take out a room of goons unseen.

I picked up Borderlands Legendary Collection on Switch and played the first one for the first time. Boy was I missing out but the driving controls are some of the worst I've ever come across. It's like your blind date turned out to be a model but she has an extra ear on her forehead and you're really not into that.

Bought myself Death Road to Canada today as a treat and it's awesome as fuck.

I'm gonna see if I can figure out how to make custom character sprites so I can do playthroughs with lolcows.

Ayyyy turns out adding custom stuff for this game is real easy. Looks like I'm modding lolcows into this game, boys.
