This isn't aimed at anyone, I just gotta get it off my chest. You're a fool if you actually follow arbitrary numbers that reviewers put in these reviews. It's ridiculous how gaming culture treats a number out of ten as gospel, why are numbers more important than what's actually written in a review? Gaming culture and journalism is extremely retarded.
Furthermore, why make the number out of ten when you're just going to use the school grading percentage? Very rarely does any game worth writing about get below a 6, so why not just use a star ranking or a scale of 1-5? If I were to start a review site, fuck, I'd just make it a scale out of 23, that's how much sense it makes.
Anyway, nerd rant over. I just have a bone to pick with gaming journalism. Fact: most gaming journalists never even took a journalism course in college.
You speak with the wisdom of a thousand Kradens. Amen.

Like in the future, hypothetically speaking, lets say MGS5 and GoW4 comes out the same time. You love both series. You can only buy one at the moment. I would buy the one with the highest rating first.

Just the number? I think they can be beneficial as a guideline, maybe to get a "general" idea, but is there really that much a difference between a 9.4 and a 9.6? Or an 8.8 and 9.0? I think, as Wind Dude said, we need to shy away from a rating system out of 10, since it basically means anything 7.9 or below must automatically be bad.
I think the written reviews hold more value, though in the end I don't even really think it'll matter much. If you really want to get a game, I don't think it'll stop you if there is a review you don't like.

If you're waiting for a game and it scores a 9.0, you'll say to yourself, "it's got a great score, I've got every reason to buy it!"
If you're waiting for a game and it scores a 7.5, you'll (likely) say to yourself, "well, the score could be better, but reviews don't matter anyway, I'm getting it anyway."

Kotaku said:
The visibly scarred John Marston is charged with hunting down the leaders of his former gang, Bill Williamson and Javier Escuela, and delivering them to federal agents. His motivation to take down his former friends comes in the form of his kidnapped wife and son, held by the government, and the fact that Williamson and crew left him for dead after a botched robbery. Along the way, Marston discovers that he can't take Williamson down alone, forcing him to make compromises, make new friends and make tough choices, resulting in the bloody deaths of dozens of enemies new and old.
Rockstar's journey through the wild west is more beautiful, more grown up and the ideal place for open world escapism, violent and dangerous though it may be.
Loved
John, Be Good: My John Marston may have amassed a body count in the hundreds, but for an outlaw, he's hardly the empty, morals-free son of a bitch I expected. He's likable, surly, down to earth and sometimes cracks wise. Marston's a wounded man, honest and faithful, attempting to do right to protect his family, and the player can make positive choices that reinforce those facets of his character. Or they can do the opposite, choosing to murder instead of pardon, gun down a thief instead of hog-tying him. As someone who prefers to play on the side of right, always opting for the paladin and the light side of the Force, playing Marston the good guy isn't always easy, isn't always satisfying. But the option to play as a father and a husband whose actions reflect his attempts at reformation are welcome.
The Land: More likable than John Marston is Red Dead Redemption's vast landscape, which stretches from the dry and dusty settlements of New Austin to red and rustic Mexican border towns. Raging rivers and soft flurries of snow cut through the repetition of desert lands, while hints of technology—railroads, telegraph wires—show a civilization on the verge of change. It's the sky that makes Red Dead Redemption's environments beautiful, as sunsets slice through the trees and starry, moonlit nights make for peaceful rides through the wilderness. There's a lot of traveling to do in Red Dead Redemption, as almost all mission begin with a lengthy ride, but the feeling of experiencing a natural world makes the getting there a treat.
Kill Your Radio: Gone is the distraction of radio, a staple in the open world adventures of Rockstar's Grand Theft Autos and Midnight Clubs. Bill Elm and Woody Jackson's original score adds only occasional reminders of music while you ride, a calming contrast to the din of talk radio, rap and rock we normally ingest while traveling in a Rockstar game. The sparing use of music from artists like Jamie Lidell and William Elliot Whitmore later add emotional resonance to scenes, which when first heard are unexpected, maybe even shocking.
Simpler Times: There are no helicopters, no rocket launchers, no jet packs in Red Dead Redemption. Does that mean there's no fun? Not at all. The game's wild west setting may mean fewer opportunities for traditional sandbox-style hijinks, but it also means less wrestling with complex control schemes and a more intense focus on varied, well designed missions. Townsfolk are more prone to deliver a "howdy" than an insult or non sequitur, one aspect of a world that's more welcoming than obnoxiously abrasive. Players with a thirst for randomized violence will, however, get a chance to ventilate plenty of thugs, thanks to plenty of dangerous roadside encounters with horse thieves, swindlers and the occasional cougar.
Maturity In My Mature Games? Red Dead Redemption gives the impression that Rockstar is growing up. Sure, there are zany, potentially offensive sidekicks set up for comic relief. There are also moments of titillation and excessive violence, some of which feels forcibly inserted, but John Marston's video gaming's latest playable dad and largely behaves as such. Redemption doesn't suffer under the weight of broad humor, dick jokes or too many attempts to inspire controversy. It's later acts reinforce this feeling of growing up, delivering some unexpected conclusions. Better matured is the gunplay, which, thanks to the time-slowing Dead Eye system, helps to correct control quibbles in the third-person. Shooting up soldiers, banditos and gang members is fun as hell.
Multiplayer, Deep & Hard: While the single-player campaign can suck a good 20-plus hours on a straightforward playthrough, the game's multiplayer mode offers dozens more. There's a good mix of game types thrown at you, with an easy entry into games. Standard offerings like Grab The Bag are a blast to play in a group and those matches begin with a bang. Rounds start with a team versus team shootout, with teams lined up for a quick and bloody duel that will get your adrenaline pumping immediately. Unfortunately, some serious connection issues have marred my impression of Red Dead Redemption's multiplayer suite, a problem that will hopefully continue to be addressed.
A Legendary Slayer of Armadillos: Red Dead Redemption's "Challenges" are strangely addictive. Strange because they involve picking flowers and herbs or hunting rabbits and armadillos for fun and profit. The urge to collect and do good (or a lot of bad) is magnified by the Honor and Fame systems, which reward the player for behaving admirably (or despicably) and tackling various challenges. Marston's honor and fame rankings translate to tangible benefits in the form of better deals at shops and more leniency from the law, but it's the feeling of progression that more often inspires one to do the right thing instead of the easy thing.
Sidetrackin': Initially, I cursed the long horseback rides from town to town, seemingly too long sprints that felt like padding. But as I discovered the wildlife and explored the land, seeing the opportunities presented by roadside encounters and random campsites in the distance, I came to appreciate those long hauls. Much of Red Dead Redemption's off-mission tasks can be accomplished in minutes, if not seconds, thanks to the opportunity to do much of it from horseback. Even in towns, you'll find opportunities to stop murders, play games of Texas Hold 'Em poker or track down a missing horse. These asides make Red Dead Redemption's world seem more alive, less about John Marston's existence in the space.
Hated
Seams Showing Through: There are plenty of little nits that get in the way of immersing oneself in Red Dead Redemption, from small but noticeable bugs, like items popping in and out and dialogue disappearing, to minor control issues to gameplay elements that feel so familiar from playing Rockstar's other games that missions can become too predictable. Some storytelling elements feel unnatural, as Marston is constantly dicked around by non-player characters who don't believably advance the plot, but simply add more missions to the tally. While the game's voice acting is typically top notch, conversation delivered during rides to destinations sometimes feel awkward or stilted, taking the player out of the element.
As open world games featuring a man on a mission often do, Red Dead Redemption's story has its ups and downs, multiple climaxes and teases that manipulate as much as they sometimes frustrate. But Redemption concludes in a fascinating way, just one of many surprises, not the least of which includes an affection for virtually living in the old west. Progression and technological advancement, a packing in of more and more and more is what video games teach us to appreciate. The whittling down of gameplay due to a technological and temporal back step is what makes Redemption a more believable, more absorbing world to visit.
The game is not without its issues, from the technical to the tedious—cow herding and horse breaking are a chore, Marston can't swim—but its train robbing and chase scene highs impressively outweigh its lows.
Having already immersed myself in dozens of hours of Red Dead Redemption's world, I'm hungry to return, itching to complete my untended quests, adventure through its still mysterious lands and explore the bad side of John Marston. Having barely scratched the surface of its multiplayer—there's so much to unlock and experiment with—I'll be losing myself in its sublime world of hoodlums, peasants and drunkards. I don't think I've engaged in a single bar fight, being a good outlaw and feeling good about it, an oversight that I'll soon correct.
Red Dead Redemption was developed by Rockstar San Diego and published by Rockstar Games for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 on May 18. Retails for $59.99 USD. A copy of the game was purchased by Kotaku for reviewing purposes. Played through single-player campaign and tested multiplayer modes on Xbox 360. Found redemption.

They need to stop making new (ugly) pokeymans and instead try making a game we haven't played already.
If they made new games with new regions to explore, and mix and match the pokeymans they've created for a region but not actually make new ones that'd be great by me.
Just make a pokeyman game where the main focus of the game isn't taking down the Elite Four. I'd buy it. Hire some actual writers to make a plot with some actual substance, it can't be too hard and it doesn't need to win any awards, it just needs to seem like a game I haven't already played five times.

I think the most important area Pokemon needs to change in is its presentation. The new games are FINALLY doing away with the archaic grid-based movement (you move to the right one square, whole screen shifts one square) into a true 3D world. Battling should be done in real-time somehow which would be next step forward.
#6055
Posted 04 June 2010 - 03:04 PM
Not all the new Pokemon are ugly, though. Gen IV actually had some really awesome Pokemon (Porygon-Z, Tangrowth, Infernape, Empoleon, Luxray, Yanmega, Darkrai, the list goes on), and of the seven Gen V Pokes revealed so far, only three of them can be legitimately agree'd upon by the majority to be lackluster (Zoroark, DerpDerp, Reshiram).
Gen V is taking steps in the right direction, though. There probably won't be any dramatic shift in gameplay, but at least there are tweaks that are very welcome.

I actually don't think Pokemon needs a drastic overhaul, as the basic mechanics are great. The battle system is simple, but deep if you really get into it. Having a crapload of Pokemon is actually a nice thing because no two parties will be exactly the same, giving the game a ton of replay value. There's a reason why Pokemon has gotten away with being the same game for so long.
The premise of the game needs the overhaul: 12 year old (who looks more like a 15 year old) goes out into the world to collect Pokemon for a scientist too old to do it himself. The player must battle gym leaders for experience in order to travel farther from home. Side plot: save the world from gangsters. Er... okay.
A more personal plot is what Pokemon needs. Maybe you could go out into the world to find your long lost dad who never seems to be in the game, (sans Ruby/Sapphire story) or if you want to really get into the "gangster" storyline, maybe Team Rocket messes up your hometown so you have to leave and get revenge on them. Those are just (probably bad) examples I thought of quickly, but my point is there needs to be a story to give each game its own identity. The classic things like Gym battles can still be there, but it shouldn't be the focal point.
As for you last point, are you serious that the grid based movement is gone? In what games? Can we walk diagonally? Dammit, please tell me that it's in HeartGold/SoulSilver.

But then again, as PDM said, if Nintendo can get away with how the games have always been (and continue to sell millions regardless), then it may not substantially change in that regard. I think, by Nintendo standards, just having a 3D environment and no grid-based movement is as revolutionary chance as we're going to get with Pokemon White/Black.

Yeah but those two are about the only good American comedians. Plus it's all a matter of taste; I much prefer Ricky Gervais and Jimmy Carr's dark humour compared to the lighter humour of others like Jason Manford or someone similar. Thats why I <3 Sean Lock, Charlie Brooker and Frankie Boyle so much (although a lot of the time Boyle just seems to be offensive for the sake of being offensive)

Sandslash is weak (2x damage) to: Water, Grass, Ice
Sandslash is resistant (1/2x damage) against: Poison, rock
Golem is weak (2x damage) to: Fighting, Ground, Steal, Ice
Golem is weak (4x damage) to: Water, Grass
Golem is resistant (1/2x damage) against: Normal, Flying, Rock, Fire
Golem is resistant (1/4x damage) against: Poison
Golem learns a great deal more STAB moves than Sandslash through level up, though Sandslash has a more diverse TM learnset.. Sandslash's base stat total is 450 while Golem's is 485. Really there's no particular winner, it's all by preference. I'd personally stick with Golem. :3
My party thus far, keeping in mind I don't really battle online, is something like this:
61 Noctowl
55 Victreebell
55 Snorlax
65 Typhlosion
60 Raikou
100 Groudon (don't ask >.>)
Noctowl is easily my fav Gen II pokemon. DAT MOVESET! I'm currently using Hypnosis, Dream Eater, Extrasensory, Roost.

After taking a good long listen though, Going Through Changes, 25 To Life, and Almost Famous >>> everything else (You're Never Over needs to be mentioned.. i've been waiting for a Proof tribute since 2005). From the intense sample on the chorus to the hardest beat on the album other than “Cold Wind Blows,” Almost Famous has Em wilin' out like he hasn't since 2002, giving us the funniest punchlines of the album (the roethlisberger and david carridine lines were straight up laugh out loud material). In 25 To Life, the hip-hop-as-a-woman content is given a clever spin since anybody would’ve listened to this and thought it was about Kim until the very last bar. It has smart content, strong delivery and aesthetic perfection. And then we have Going Through Changes, which is arguably the best song on the album (and is currently at like 50 something listens on iTunes). Eminem reaches unmatched heights of poignancy with his lyrics on GTC. The part where he says he’s afraid of seeing Hailie is absolutely genius lyricism. Then the verse dedicated to Kim is the ultimate payoff after all the songs about killing her and pistol whipping her boyfriend. We see a new form of maturity from Marshal here on Recovery, that we didn't even get to see on Eminem Show or the 8Mile Soundtrack. If it took drugs, and his recovery to make music like this, then I'm not at all disappointed that it took 7 years to get a record of this quality.
I didn't even buy Relapse, but I will be happy shelling out every penny for the CD, and vinyl versions of Recovery. I hope every rap fan can enjoy this album as much as I have. peace guys, i'll be back when gs3 is out. any other leaks people looking forward to? t.i? game? dre?

I can't wait, GL. Kinda sucks that the NBA Finals are gonna coincide, but I don't think I'll pay attention to the WC much at first when it's not Italy or USA.

He's definitely the best player right now. I know, I'm probably a bit biased, but really. ): Pierce hasn't pulled out the wheelchair either so far lol.
Also, Blackhawks won the Stanley Cup.

Diddy, do you have any pain meds given to you to cope or anything at all? Iirc you should have at least been reccomended something to cope. Smoking is probs a bad idea.

Ugh, for maybe three days after I was feeling pretty sore. Smoking wasn't bad, but I coughed a few times which was.. uncomfortable, to say the least.

Sad about the PVV vote too, eh?
And yeah, Elia was great, my expectations of him kind of dropped after the practice games up to the Cup. But he was much better than I had expected.
Just let Elia play, Robben kan join in after the poule phases.

Elia was the young new black kid right? Yeah, he played good, for so far as I could see. Was really tired and actually fell asleep a few times. Where does he play at normally? I dunno but didn't you also think our narrator was a bit.. un enthousiastic about our vicotry? Like he expected it all?
And Denmark did a good job on saving that last goal! That was honestly very spectacular.

VVD won here in the national elections, PvdA was second, PVV 3rd I think. Yet no one I know says they voted PVV, so either they're ashamed (as they should be) or they're all in the other part of town.

I can walk on it now, but it still hurts to turn it sideways. Pretty sure it was just a sprain though. But those are supposed to take longer to heal than fractures.
So yeah. Anyone know a good chiropractor?
