i've heard so much positive buzz about this thing i was actually thinking about picking one up, and i already own a goddamn stick. the appeal of carrying a pad around to tournaments instead of having the TSA question me about my stick is appealing

sagat, akuma, all of the new characters from street fighter 3

at first i hated them, but as i've learned how to play the game better i think they are probably essential

everything i saw about it turned me away. reminds me more of quake than doom, but really it just looks generic and uninteresting.

especially at e3 when they kept emphasizing the speed. i was thinking, yeah, okay sure i guess doom was pretty fast. maybe that will make this a good doom game if it's fast

and then they showed it and it wasn't fast at all

it would be nice if the culture around games was a little more self-assured and less steered around by marketing buzzwords, but at this point I can't see that aspect of it ever changing. the american games biz (the biggest and most infleuntal) comes mostly from a place of big corps dumping marketing dollars and doing lots of cocaine in the 80s, so when that's the culture your new medium for art comes out of, it's easy to see why games are this way and probably always will be

i wish i could live on the planet from avatar, that's right i want to live on pandora

Tekken Tag 2 turned me into a full-blown convert, and it seems to me that it will probably come out late next year. That's my most anticipated one. That being said, when I realized how close we are to Street Fighter V's release today I was hit with a little pang of excitement that I didn't fully expect. It'll be fun to have everyone at a tournament share a game in common again, should be fun times for the genre this year.

my opinion is that VR is an indictment of our society and the things we value, OP

i love the way they are doing this

I also found Fallout 4 to be boring but the Witcher is one of my favorite games this year. But so is MGSV. So I picked carrots
