Keep telling yourself that. I'm just fine at the game and the combat is just okay. Combine that with all of the awful set piece moments (which happen almost all the time in one form or another), mostly uninteresting story delivered over far too long a campaign and cheap deaths from quick time events and your left with Mercenaries as the only high point in the game and they even locked out half of the maps from those who didn't pre-order at the right place. People not completely understanding how the game plays (which is the fault of the game) are still capable of seeing all the rest of the garbage the game so proudly displays.

The combat's fairly good. If it wasn't, mercenaries would be terrible. It plays well, so mercenaries is fun.

And yeah, I will keep telling myself that. People who know how to play the game don't think it is complete shit like Patrick, Brad and the people they surround themselves with do. It's fairly obvious they've got no clue about what they're doing by what they've said in quick looks and podcasts.

@KlUMZeE: You should listen to the last Game Informer podcast, or watch their Test Chamber video (like a Quick Look except the guy actually plays decently) or read their review to get a very different impression of RE 6 than what Giant Bomb would have you believe is the consensus.

You say that like the metacritic score isn't a 66. Sure some people liked the game, but it IS the consensus that the game is less than spectacular. It's not some weird put on by Giant Bomb to make you think scores are lower than they actually are.

People who aren't garbage at the game like it just fine. There's been rapid shifts in opinion of this game by people since it released.

Lee won't turn into a zombie, they'll cut off his hand to stop the infection from spreading and he'll have a "near death" moment from losing a goddamn limb, cue to him and Clem (where are the others?) on a boat sailing into the sunset. Calling it!

The game released in August, and one big issue was a resolution restriction that wouldn’t allow the game to display higher than 720p (1280x720).

This is a common misconception. The actual internal framebuffer was stuck at 1024x720 instead of 1280x720 (only 4/5 the size of proper 720p), making it lower resolution than most games even on console. Most people just look at the vertical resolution and incorrectly slap a p onto it, and that's probably how the confusion started.

Also you called Thoman "Thomas" a couple times as well.

Well it rendered at 1024x720 on console as well. A lot of console games don't render at 1280x720, either.

I feel like Super Hexagon is only difficult because the controls just aren't very good.

Ah, so you watched the Silent Hill HD review! I was going to send it to you, but I figured others would have done so already or you would have spotted it on neogaf yourself. I would have liked to hear your thoughts.

Because Bayonetta 2 is worth $360, am I right guys? What else are you going to play on this thing? Mii mini-games and yet another rehashed Mario? Whee? This console doesn't appeal to the mainstream nor the core gamer. I don't see grandma waving around a huge pad on morning talk shows.

Monster Hunter is core as fuck homie, don't be disrespectin'. If that game is too manly for you, you can go play yo baby games elsewhere son.

Gateways is a great game. I played it back when the developer released it on his website and I enjoyed it a lot. I'd recommend it to anybody who enjoys Metroidvania games.

And now for the comments, in which heterosexual white men decide what is and isn't offensive.
