They even made Aquaman look pretty badass, so they're okay in my book.

Yes, Mortal Kombat was great.

I love Harley's design and I'm hoping they show us Power Girls soon :O

Pokemon X&Y, Windwaker HD, Pandora's Tower, DKCR 3D, and Injustice is what I'm mostly looking forward to that I hope to get on day 1. This year I'm mostly going to focus on games I didn't get last year.

For now I'm mostly looking forward to Tales of Xillia and Bioshock Infinite. I'm not sure if I'll be able to afford Pandora's Tower at launch, but if XSeed has a fancy premium edition like Last Story then I'll go for it. Muramasa for Vita is also a must buy for me.
Uh and I have Neptunia Victory preordered too. No shame.

I want God of War Ascension, but with me buying a house not sure that it is the wisest of decisions. I'll probably end up doing it any ways, especially if I finish Sly in time.

I want the new Neptunia, but probably wont get it right away let me know how it is

Was totally unaware of this, but Runner2 is coming to PSN next week. I fucking loved the first game, so I'm 100% buying this next Tuesday. It's one of the best platformers out there... and its secretly a rhythm game!

Of course! I loved the characters in the first but the gameplay was bad. In MK2 the gameplay was pretty good but I really didn't like the new characters. Now that Neptunia Victory is starring Neptune and the original goddesses again I'm expecting to really like this one.

by Miraculous Kaydybug on Thu Feb 28, 2013 3:59 pm

Now that i think about it most of the characters I did like in MK2 were from the first game too (the sisters were all kind of boring). I did like the story concept, and artwork though. i never played the first one cause everyone told me to stay away from it

Is there a better way to break in a new house than playing a new God of War?

Maybe by playing a game with a lead character that doesn't suck.

I understand why people hate Kratos the GoW series. However, I've enjoyed the shit out of the whole series. When I pay my $60 I know what I'm getting; a hyper-masculine character who only communicates through screams and who's out for revenge. I love it.

by TheMatt on Thu Feb 28, 2013 8:27 pm

Extreme amounts of testosterone and murderin' never hurt nobody...

by Bannen on Fri Mar 01, 2013 3:40 pm

Bitching about Kratos is a lame argument for not playing God of War. Outside of the character, the games are all well-polished and extremely fun to play.

My only complaint about Kratos is the last-minute attempt to humanize him in GoW3. I fully accept him as an engine of ridiculous murder. Don't try to tell me that all he has done has been fueled by hope. He releases the hope at the end of GoW3 to piss off Athena, not to help humanity. He's a dick! Let's not try to make him symapthetic and we'll all do just fine.

by TripOpt55 on Fri Mar 01, 2013 4:04 pm

They are cool games. I was just being a dick... Not unlike Kratos.

by BretBaber on Fri Mar 01, 2013 7:34 pm

I thought most people hated the God of War games in here. Nice to see people still care about the series. I came into the series really late, didn't play the first one until like 2009. Loved the series and every game they've put out. Being a foolish fool I'll probably buy the game.

Little fact: I like Kratos.

by Bannen on Sun Mar 03, 2013 2:51 pm

I'm not thrilled about Ascension being another prequel, but it looks pretty cool, from what I've seen. I'll play the multiplayer, but I'm curious about the singleplayer changes - specifically, the QTE's that have been redone to elimimate prompts. How does that work?

The whole ending to 3 was a clusterfuck. It felt like they quickly made up the Hope angle and threw it in last minute. I was hoping for Kratos to just kill Zeus and have to world end or something along those lines. Instead we got that lame open-ended bullshit by not seeing Kratos' dead body at the end. Horrible.

I just finished Titan mode, so I have a very refreshed take on the whole game, and the ending is quite half-assed. The Hope thing...I just can't get over it. So, this guy - this man made only to murder - has been carving a path of blood (of both the guilty and innocent) across the world of Greek mythology, and he was guided along this path by Hope!? What the fuck. I appreciated them trying to use Pandora as a way for him to get over killing his own daughter...but the Hope thing is insane. It's hilariously dumb.

by Krubixcube on Tue Mar 05, 2013 6:09 am

Yeah...Kratos is a shit character but those games are solid gameplay wise. I just wish they stopped trying to humanize him and embraced the cartoony, arcade-y kind of self-mocking nature of his character.

Just took themselves too seriously I guess.

by Bannen on Tue Mar 05, 2013 8:07 pm

Agreed. I get the sneaking suspicion that he's going to be terribly "human" in Ascension. Annoyingly human.

by b.b.hagen on Wed Mar 06, 2013 3:53 pm

Fuck, I hope not.

James Mielke keeps tweeting about Phantasy Star Online 2 on Vita and all I can think is "Great, but when the hell do I get to play it?"

by Bannen on Wed Mar 06, 2013 4:27 pm

Gears of War: Judgment. The series finally focuses on the character who should have been the star the whole time... Hooray Baird!

by Krubixcube on Thu Mar 07, 2013 6:00 am

Here's Kratos from my ideal god of war game:

Kratos: I'M HERE TO KILL THE CYCLOPS!

Prophet: Kratos! The Cyclops is defending the gate to Hades! Defeating him would only unleash wretched wandering souls into the world! I urge you not to continue this useless quest of slaughter. You leave only sorrow in your path.

Kratos: WHAT?! I WAS SEEING IF MY BLADES COULD SLICE THROUGH THIS STONE WITHOUT STOPPING! DID YOU SAY SOMETHING?

Prophet: The Cyclops-

Kratos: YES! THE CYCLOPS! HE IS A MENACE TO ALL OF OLYMPUS AND HIS EYE JUICES MAKE MY BLADES MORE POWERFUL!

Prophet: Actually, quite the opposite, he-

Kratos: FEAR NOT, FRAIL HUMAN! YOU LACK THE SUPERIOR INTELLIGENCE OF A SPARTAN! BY SUNDOWN THIS CYCLOPS SHALL BE DEAD AND THE PEOPLE WILL BE SAFE!

(gameplay returns, Kratos kills prophet, single green health orb comes out)

by Methane_Max on Thu Mar 07, 2013 11:06 am

Not gonna lie... that made me laugh.

by volvocrusher on Thu Mar 07, 2013 12:59 pm

The only reason I remember who Baird was is because of all. The times Marcus Fenix told him to shut up. At least it'll have COLE TRAIN BABY!!!

by Bannen on Thu Mar 07, 2013 1:59 pm

That does pretty much sum up most God of War conversations...

...it was the green orb thing that made me laugh the most.

by TripOpt55 on Sun Mar 10, 2013 5:52 pm

I've always hated Baird. I still haven't finished Gears 3 yet. Just one of a bunch of games I started playing co-op with my brother that I'll never finish.

by Captain N on Sun Mar 10, 2013 6:54 pm
