I guess Clementine will become the Rick of the Walking Dead games. She will never die, but she will get to watch everyone else die.

Calling Masquerade Bloodlines GTA meets Vampires is pretty misleading. Yeah, there's an open world, but just barely. It's like 2 blocks worth of street, and you run everywhere on foot. I would call it the best Vampire RPG ever made though.

I would also take off Mario RPG and No More Heroes. I'm willing to bet people who play games a lot know what those are.

Otherwise this is a pretty good list.

I don't think I've ever had the exact opposite opinions with a reviewer as I've had with Tom McShea. Almost every game he gives a bad review to I enjoy, and every game he rates highly I hate.

With how this second half of the fifth went, I think it was wrapped up about as nicely as could be done.

But it feels really odd--and just a touch cheap--for the final villain to be both introduced and dealt with within essentially half of the final season.

He wasn't the final villain dude, Walter White is the King Koopa in this castle.

They were Walt's final opponent, and their entire story arc happened through nine of the sixty-two episodes. And I don't think they even made appearances in the majority of those nine. Walt's personal confessions were cleaned up very well, but Jessie's captivity and Walt's capstone revenge felt like footnotes.

Breaking Bad isn't like other shows. They weren't Walts final opponents in the same sense that Trinity was Dexters opponent during that season. Walt needed them dead so everything could end for good. Their arc was simply the flow of the story. Yes it would have been nice if this was a 20+ episode season, but they did really well with the time they had. And their screen time did tell you a lot about them. They were a family of killers and thieves.

Also, what is capstone? Do you mean GreyMatter?

A literal capstone is the final, topmost stone in an arch. A metaphorical capstone is any final piece that completes a set. In this case, Walt's killing of Jack's gang was a poor capstone when compared to that of Fring. In fact, it was nearly a mirror of Walt's attack on Tuco. Both were desperate acts of a desperate man, and both ended with Walt saving Jessie and walking away from a broken building. While poetic (and realistically "subdued") it didn't carry much impact with me since I had so little history with Jack and his crew. I had no real reason to hate them--no more than I had anyone else, anyway--until Ozymandias--two episodes ago.

Oh. Never heard that word before. Thanks, the more you know I guess.

I don't think I agree with your comparison. Walt wasn't exactly desperate in this situation. With Tuco it was a sheep going into a lions den, but with Jack he thought he was tricking them into discussing business. Walt had no idea that they were going to just execute him on the spot. And Walt wasn't really saving Jesse in Tucos case. He was getting money to pay for his medical bills.

And as for satisfaction for this and Fring, you need to look at it in two different ways. Frings death was immensely satisfying because he was so smart, and Walt finally out smarted him. I found this ending satisfying for completely different reasons. Jacks group was pure evil. They killed people with no remorse, and they did it smiling. They tortured Jesse and made him watch Andrea die. So seeing them get gunned down, and seeing Jesse get revenge on Todd I found to be immensely satisfying. I didn't need an elaborate backstory to know why I should hate them more than I already do, I was glad that Walt got the best of them,and gunned down Jack the same way he did Hank. I was glad that Jesse got away and can finally do whatever he wants with his life now.

But different strokes for different folks, I guess. I thought it was a great ending for an amazing show.

So long as PS4 isn't DS3 compatible then nobody should want a PS4.

My question is is L2 and R2 going to be the default triggers this generation? I thought it was weird that GTAV defaulted to those on the PS3. They just don't feel right.

Well you could just remap the controls to L1 and R1.

OH WAIT the console doesn't let you do that either.

Actually you can change the shoulders to shoot with L1 and R1.
