I'm looking forward to this. I don't know why, but the bro-ness hooks me, like a good comedy.

Demo was terrible. Avoiding this game at all costs. Bayonetta will keep me busy.

another site posted the ending to the game....considering I don't plan on playing it, I watched it.  I'm glad I'm not going to play it because damn was it stupid.  Not that he game looks bad itself...but I couldn't get into the first one even when I was playing coop.

I can only judge from the demo, but it played like Gears of War for geriatrics. I don't remember the last time I have experienced such slow character movements and such inconsistent framerate.

The first game had the highest play-to-quality ratio I have encountered in the last decade.  I'm absolutely in.

Yes there is, the reason he is scoped is because of the sight attachment on his gun.

Yeah. The problem isn't that the previous voice actor was any good, it's that they replaced him with Nolan North.
 
If I'm ever going to make a game, I'm going to put a emo-psychopath-drugaddict-transvestite-clown into it as a character and have mr North voice him, just for the sake of variety.

 Framerate is perfect. The shooting feels great. It's a fun 8 hours folks! Get it while it's hot!

So, a bro-out game for bros, that's absolutely ridiculously and insanely over-the-top because the previous game used real-world things in a flippant fashion, so they're just going to go all out and just throw in crazy terrible crap just because.
 
Are you guys sure this isn't Modern Warfare 2?

Nah, it you equip a scope to your gun, it will zoom.  However, you can unequip/re-equip the scope at any time during the game based on the situation.

Again, as I said, I can really only judge the demo, and that had an awful framerate. Glad to hear they fixed it in the final release, but it DOES bear mentioning that the demo gives a terrible impression of this game.

Game doesn't look bad. Not really sure about the downright retarded "moral choices" ( why does every game need a moral choice option???) but sure, I'd buy it.
 
It seems like one of those games that just has some really nifty gameplay mechanics that would make it fun, but could take some cues from the original Gears of War and forget leaning on any sort of story. Just keep it fun. I'm not sure whether or not the first game played it that way because I never touched it.

Nolan North will now replace all other voice actors in Video Games and he will voice everyone and everything.

The volume has been really low in GB's latest videos. Need to turn up my speakers to the loudest to hear and remember to turn it down afterwards.

I think this game is looking pretty good, and I can't wait to play it. It's getting to be a bummer that my favorite group o' guys always tackle these quick looks with zero enthusiasm. I mean, the random 90's hip-hop references can be funny, I guess. Vinny puts on a good pseudo-excited voice though, even for a dumbass game like Phoenix Wright Wii.
