God of war 3.

That is all.

 

[Lucid]

You completely missed Modern Warfare 2.

 

[Sedako]

You completely missed Modern Warfare 2.

I left out all the FPS games, as I don't consider them true to the action genre.

 

[Lucid]

...What?

 

[Sedako]

...What?

I consider FPS games to be their own genre, and not a sub-class of the action genre.

 

[the cow says moo]

I consider FPS games to be their own genre, and not a sub-class of the action genre.

I can see how this is justified.

I seen some gameplay footage of Uncharted 2 on Attack of the Show (no I don't watch it often, just because they were covering E3, the whole station got real gay real fast) and it looks WAY too shitty. Like Tomb Raider but dumbed down somehow..

The first one was better than any of the Tomb Raider games, and I've played every one. It also helps that it was a lot more polished than the TR games usually are. The combat is far more satisfying with the great cover system. I has a bit more focus on action than TR, but there is plenty of climbing and puzzles. With the second one, it looks like they've upped the intensity factor, especially with the jeep chase and helicopter shoot-out sequences. Along with God of War 3, it's one of my most anticipated games on the list. Check this video out as well:

TBH Uncharted 2 looked literally EXACTLY like Army of Two (which is a good game) with some acrobatics of Tomb Raider thrown in.

It's gonna be shit.

How can you make this claim without actually playing Uncharted? Not to mention that Uncharted is a widely acclaimed game. While I realize that a lot of people take game review scores with a grain of salt, Uncharted received an average score of about 90%, with it's lowest score at 80%. Army of Two scored roughly 75%, with a low score of 60%. It's one of those games that remain fun throughout, and at no point in playing did I ever feel bored or burned out. Can't say the same for a majority of the games released these days. I honestly don't see how you think it will be a bad game.

It is in fact, Dog you are talking to.

 

[Dog--]

nipples already knows, I need none of these things you call 'facts' to back myself up in an argument so, Sedako - SHUT IT.

IT'LL BE SHIT BECAUSE I SAID SO, OK?

For the record - where did I say I never played Uncharted 1?

 

[nipples]

Uncharted 2 is going to be great, you're high on crack.

 

[Dog--]

Crack opens my eyes and my mind to see the truth.

 

[Sedako]

For the record - where did I say I never played Uncharted 1?

I assumed it, because you made no reference to it while slamming the seconds

 

[Tagaziel]

Only one worthwhile is AC2.

 

[Remus]

From that list I'm really looking forward to Just Cause 2. from what I've seen it looks like a crazy combination of Far Cry 1 and GTA. Granted I've never played the first game or even heard of this series until recently, but it looks awesome.

 

[Unfocused]

Only one worthwhile is AC2.

and Mafia II, right?
