Struggling with Hitman Absolution, which is an absolute bitch. I respect how IO has used the Hitman mechanics of old to make a damn good stealth game, but MOTHERFUCKER THAT FUCKING CHECKPOINTSYSTEM IS BULLSHIT! Even if you manage to find a fucking checkpoint, and believe me, they're hidden extremely well, guess what, everything resets to a fixed point in the stage, if you use them. So all enemies respawn. This system is made by an infant. It makes the game unnecessarily frustrating and annoying. Also, enemy placement is cheap as fuck way to often. But yeah still alright game, sorry about the rant

@rorie Good to hear some one else enjoying the unemployed life. I currently have not had a steady income since August last year, and while it sure is tough to not be able to just buy the shit you want, I have very much enjoyed the time off. I'm pretty young, so I could fortunately just move back to my parents house and use the little money I get out of random jobs here and there to buy movies and go to bars. Also PS+ has meant I haven't bought a full priced game since Mortal Kombat 9. But yeah, I am very much looking forward to move out again and get a steady income, which will hopefully be pretty soon. Great to have you back!

I played about 5 hours of Mass Effect 3 and just.. I don't know what it is, ME1 and 2 is still some of my favorite games of this generation (ME1 one of my favorite games of all time), but I just can't get excited about playing ME3.

  • Spliter Cell: Double Agent

Beaten

  • GRAW 2
  • Sleeping Dogs
  • Halo Reach
  • Assassins Creed Revelations

Monthly score 0

Final score -5

I agree with Vinny that Sleepy Dawgs is A LOT of open world fun, its third act just really drags, which is a real shame. Still, hell of a game. GRAW 2 really surprised me, that game holds up really, really well.

Both Reach and Revelations fucking draaaaags, and really can't hold up when compared to their predecessors. Still excited to play AC3, when it falls in price, I still adore the games

Right now I'm hoping to complete Blood Money, Double Agent and, if I have it in me, finally complete Amnesia. Double Agent is a fucking mess on the PS3 and, again, Amnesia freaks me the fuck out (I'm haven't even met any monsters yet), so both of those are probably going to be slow burns. I also really want to finish Deus Ex: Human Revolution, Halo Reach and Okami HD

So when you say "highest" score do you mean closest to 0? Also, say you completed a game you bought 3 month ago, does that still count or will that game just be a -1 forever and ever?

Great idea BTW, now I know what I'm doing tomorrow! :D

Never played the original Yoshi's Island, although Yoshi's Island 2 for the DS was quite good. Now Yoshi's Story! Man, what a game. That game was fucking trippy, I mean for christ sake, the second boss is a GIANT CLOUD THAT YOSHI SWALLOWS! Yoshi is a monster. That and also constantly on drugs

Hopefully, this means Rocksteady is working on a Predator game, in which you play the Predator

BioShock wasn't that great aside from the intro.

Still optimistic for this one though, but 2 was better than 1.

Aside from your optimism about this game, I disagree with everything you just said.

Opinions!

So you thought the intro to the original Bioshock was bad?

@the_nubster: How many problems did Polygon had when they re-launched? Almost none? That's what I heard too. I respect Dave and the crew but it's been 3 weeks.

Almost none, but it sounds like they were still present. And that's with a small site. Giantbomb has a wiki that is the size of Polygon several times over plus all affiliated stats and points to track with each individual user, the hundreds of thousands of gigabytes of data to be brought over (both in the form of videos and in text) to an all-new editor and all of the comments on those articles and videos, each and every user's name and wiki points, comments, blogs, forum posts, etc. When Polygon becomes a wiki resource, lasts for 5 years, and then does a complete re-haul of every single aspect of their code under crunch, then you can compare the launch of Polygon to this.

You obviously don't respect the engineering team enough if you're shitting on this massive undertaking in a condescending, sarcastic tone. You're being disrespectful and immature, and you're not even contributing to the issue in a constructive way. You're just tearing down the work that the engineering team has done and totally ignoring the successes of the launch.

You're missing the bigger picture here, don't you see, it's all a conspiracy! Obviously CBS has put the pressure on the engineering team, forcing them to launch the site to early in an attempt to undermine the whole website and thereby leaving Gerstmann without a job. This was their plan all along, this whole takeover of GB was all an elaborate scheme to get back at Gerstmann and crew DON'T YOU SEE, IT'S SO OBVIOUS NOT JUST A FEW STARTUP ERRORS ON A GIGANTIC, EXTREMELY AMBITIOUS MAKEOVER, IT'S ALL CONNECTED TO THE ANIMUS!!!!!

Maybe try to include Drew and Dave on each side of the Giantbomb Squad instead of random spaceships but other than that this is an amazing piece of art. Great to see the best gaming website on the internet also has the greatest community on the internet!
