James D. Posted November 9, 2010 Report Share Posted November 9, 2010 Black Ops is fucking amazing. I was getting my ass kicked in most multiplayer games but then I went 22-4 in my first game after unlocking/buying a fully automatic gun. EDIT: And THIS is one of the funniest things ever.

Missy Posted November 9, 2010 Report Share Posted November 9, 2010 Word going around is that the monocle accessory in Rock Band 3, which is called Sterling Reputation, is a reference to former Earth-2.net writer and current Destructoid editor "Morphine" Jim Sterling!

JackFetch Posted November 10, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2010 Ok, so I played some Black Ops and then tried the Dance Central demo on Kinect. Dance Central might be the most fun I've ever had playing a game. I felt like Napoleon Dynamite learning to dance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackFetch Posted November 13, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2010 Why is Gamestop allowed to open new games, keep the disc in a separate place from the case, and still sell them as new games? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnightWing Posted November 13, 2010 Report Share Posted November 13, 2010 For a number of reasons. Technically, if the game hasn't been played, it doesn't matter if it's open or not; it's still new. Of course, Gamestop employees often get to take those games home and play them before returning them, so that argument might not apply. Then again, a new car is still considered "new" even if it's been test-driven before. It's sort of a gray area. You can, however, ask for one of the shrink-wrapped copies on the shelf behind the desk if you like. A lot of people I know do that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Venneh Posted November 13, 2010 Report Share Posted November 13, 2010 Why is Gamestop allowed to open new games, keep the disc in a separate place from the case, and still sell them as new games? Simple. So people don't walk off with the games if they shoplift the case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 13, 2010 Report Share Posted November 13, 2010 Policy dictates that you only sell them the floor case if it's the absolute last copy you have. Anyone that does otherwise is just being a lazy douche. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A car is still new if it has below a certain number of miles on it, but this is more like the salesman keeping the car at his house and making you buy it without seeing the odometer. I don't know where the disc has been, and if anyone has been playing it. They don't have shrink wrapped copies most of the time. They open all the games unless it's a midnight launch or something special. They used to wrap it right in front of you, and one time I asked why they bother since I'm about to take it right back off. Now they just slap a sticker on it. I refuse to buy new games from them until they stop this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnightWing Posted November 13, 2010 Report Share Posted November 13, 2010 That's really unusual. If you're buying a relatively popular game that's less than 6 months old (or a VERY popular game that's even older), they should always have sealed new copies on the shelf behind the register.

MaxPower Posted November 14, 2010 Report Share Posted November 14, 2010 Black Ops has the record for the biggest enterainment opening day sales in history. Bigger by almost triple the closest movie, bigger than any music release. I wish I had shares in Vivendi, owners of the following franchises - Call of Duty - Guitar Hero - World of Warcraft Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShaunKL Posted November 25, 2010 Report Share Posted November 25, 2010 I found myself singing random songs with glee(no pun) as I dispatched foes with ease this evening. Come to think of it, I've been giddy as can be today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuaveStar Posted November 27, 2010 Report Share Posted November 27, 2010 Dear makers of Alan Wake. The first hour of the game is incredibly tedious, and the last hour of the game is also incredibly tedious. Even though in between this, you have a fun game that I enjoyed playing, that does not stop my lasting memories of this game being based on it being bloody tedious. Also, the end boss battle is a huge frigging let down. Signed Austen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 27, 2010 Report Share Posted November 27, 2010 That whole goddamn game is tedious. And the last boss is a tornado. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuaveStar Posted November 27, 2010 Report Share Posted November 27, 2010 That whole goddamn game is tedious. And the last boss is a tornado. The game got sort of fun for a little while. When I stopped paying attention to the cut scenes and fast forwarded through near enough everything. Yes, it was a tornado, a tornado that you could beat in fifteen fucking seconds. How can they make a fucking tornado tedious? In the end though, if you rent the game, it can be enjoyable, once you get between the tedious parts.

ShaunKL Posted November 30, 2010 Report Share Posted November 30, 2010 That whole goddamn game is tedious. And the last boss is a tornado. An actual tornado? If true, this means Alan Wake is Superman, as that is the last boss in Superman Returns as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShaunKL Posted December 3, 2010 Report Share Posted December 3, 2010 EDIT: I have heard good things about Telltale, but this does look like a quick cheapy thing. From the trailer though, I shall reserve a bit of judgment for the fact that it looks interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron Robinson Posted December 4, 2010 Report Share Posted December 4, 2010 Telltale is a small company that makes episodic point and click adventure games. Their games don't look amazing, but they don't cost that much either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
