Civilization IV Theme - Baba Yetu - Peter Hollens & Malukah

Pretty damn epic although the original with the Royal Philharmonic is still equally epic.

So Bungie announced the first expansion for Destiny. Bunch of new story stuff, 3 new maps for PvP, and 2 new strikes. Not too bad.
Orion....that's the one with a bunch of power chords and boringly harsh vocals, isn't it?

Talking about remakes, Majora's Mask for 3DS was confirmed today by Nintendo.

That post wasn't in this thread though.

It's an awful feeling when you go 25/9 and your team still loses.
Call of Duty Ghosts has pretty much been "Dorky does amazing, the rest of his team blows and thus Dorky loses.

That's how any team-based game works. One person can't usually carry a team of bad players, because if they're not killing the other team, and keep dying, even if you're good you're likely to be outnumbered in any encounter.

It's just worse than usual. Usually people aren't this bad, but I've got teammates running right by FIRING enemies, out in the open, and they just run around like chickens with their heads lopped off.

I also keep getting spawned right in front of enemies, which is always the best time ever!~ButtSparkles***

So Advanced Warfare is a pretty interesting game for me. I love some of the stuff added, love the look, appreciate so much of the game, and yet hate playing it to some degree. With the exo-movements it becomes everything I hate in a shooter. You move as quick as possible, sling bullets everywhere, and are dead the moment you stand still pretty much anywhere.

I like there to be some strategic aspects to my play, and AW pretty much eliminated that completely. Playing classic matches helps a bit at least.

You know what, we disagree about how the strategy has left exactly, but I agree that a lot of strategy has left. Not really in fast paced gameplay(going off of Ghosts here, if I ever get Advanced Warfare it'll be a ways down the road) but it's almost impossible to compete unless you have a thermal scope. I literally can't see people almost right in front of me a lot of the time, and I'm paying attention and all that jazz, but with the thermal scope, everybody's lit up like a christmas light AND EVERYBODY HAS THERMALS ATTACHED TO WEAPONS THAT CAN USE IT, which is 99% of them. I personally really like this dlc gun the ripper, I think it has a super fun mechanic to it where it switches between an smg and an assault rifle and I wish CoD would focus more on that sort of stuff. It's really cool but because now CoD's a game of hide'n'seek I'm pretty much stuck with using guns with thermal that are good, but I don't like nearly as much as the ripper, or I just run right past people because they blend in so well or they just blast me as I run unawarely towards them. Then when I watch the killcam, they just watch me for awhile then pick me off from behind.
Shit is hella frustrating.

And don't even get me started on the spawning. Ghosts has the worst spawning I've ever seen in the CoD series. 90% I spawn right in front of an enemy, or with some enemies right behind me, and die instantly.

Also people who only use their mics to make the most annoying sounds in the world? I want to ram a pike up their ass and disembowel them, they are literally some of the most annoying people ever.

To anyone who's played New Super Mario Bros. Wii, what are the controls like? As in, can you play it with regular controls only or does it force you to do that motion control bullshit? Also, can it be played without the nunchuk and, if so, does that cause you to miss out on any features?

You can play it with just the Wiimote sideways, or Wiimote+Nunchuk. As for motion controls, there's a little bit - Mario's spin attack is performed by flicking the Wiimote, and his helicopter suit's ability is activated the same way. There's also these platforms that are tilted by tilting the Wiimote when Mario is on them.

You don't miss anything by not using the Nunchuk, but personally I prefer using it as I think the 1 and 2 buttons are not arranged favorably for a game where you will likely be holding one of the buttons down >90% of the time. I thought it was a little awkward when I tried it that way, so I use the Nunchuk. Although, the tilting platform controls are a little unintuitive when you are using Wiimote+Nunchuk but they don't pop up all that often.

I haven't played it much, I'm just on World 2, so my experience only covers the beginning of the game.

Once you finish it, make sure to play Newer Super Mario Bros Wii. It is a mod that completely changes the game, and in my opinion is far superior to the original. You can use both the Wiimote and the Nunchuck, though Newer also supports the classic controller. I recommended the Wiimote, as it feels the most similar to the NES games.

Played Advanced Warfare the other day. The new gadgets are pretty awesome, but would it kill them to actually let you choose your loadout before each level? I used to be a big fan of the CoD series, but the linearity and lack of freedom grate on me, especially after having played games like Borderlands. AW is a good game, but as usual there's a lot of missed opportunities. I doubt I'll be coming back to it anytime soon (which is why I'm glad I rented it and didn't buy).

Really looking forward to Assassin's Creed Rogue this week. Wish I could play Unity too but I'm too cheap to buy an Xbox One.

And next week is gonna be insane with Far Cry 4, Dragon Age Inquisition, and Shadow of Mordor all releasing on the same day!

Wait, there are people who play CoD for the campaign? I have yet to try AW, though it definitely seems to be a much needed evolution to the franchise from what I have seen of it. Does anyone know if it runs well on 7th gen consoles, specifically PS3?

I'm stupid as fuck with computers. What do I need to do to play this on a Wii U since I've never owned a Wii?

Try this, though you will need a copy of SSBB. It comes from Newer's site. I have no experience with the Wii U, so I cannot confirm if it works. It is much simpler on the original Wii.

Yep. My favorite complaint is that story missions/strikes are just "kill shit, push square, kill more shit, push square, kill a bullet sponge, end game" yet complain that there's not enough of them.

Because the game was hyped as the best game ever and, when it came out, most people thought it was only decent and worse.
As far as to why they thought that, there's lots of detailed reviews out there.

We're a year into the new console cycle, which means the only ones who'll probably keep making retail games for the previous ones are the yearly sports titles.
