im mostly a shotgun kind of guy, so its hyperion for me. they have a high rate of fire and big magazines and don't just screw you with that "uses 2 ammo per shot" thing like a lot of the other ones do. i cant tell you how many times ive picked up a shotgun that looked amazing until i saw it had a 3 round magazine and each shot used up 2 ammo. thats useless. get that away from me.

i dont think my nostalgia for this will be ruined if it gets an xbla release. ive known it was garbage for years and it doesnt really bother me.

NO, ITS OKAY JEFF, I WANTED TO BE UP ALL NIGHT WATCHING BOTCHAMANIA. I WASNT ABOUT TO GO TO BED OR ANYTHING.

the talent on Polygon is pretty substantial. the McElroys are more than enough to get me to go to any website, gaming-related or otherwise. my fear is that this documentary series seems to be driving away the very same group that would love the site otherwise. i think a little less self-seriousness would definitely help their case, but i get why they are taking the criticism so harshly. the series basically, regardless of the way it was presented, is a look at these guys doing what they love and betting a lot on a site that they believe is going to be awesome. the general concensus on the internet has been to say "HAHA FUCK THESE GUYS AND THEIR STUPID WEBSITE". that would certainly get under my skin if i was them. i hope the backlash isnt so harsh that the site fails. they really don't deserve that.
 
TL;DR: let them do their documentary, just please, dont make up your mind about the site and (more importantly) the people without giving them an honest chance. they have a group there capable of putting out some awesome content.

p4 arena. 
 
i mostly use pre-orders as layaway. its really convenient to drop in on gamestop and put 5 down and then keep dropping 5 and 10 dollars when i have it leading up to release day. it hurts the wallet way way less that way.

i asked the girl at gamestop today and she told me that all the copies that were sitting on the shelf behind the counter next to ghost recon future soldier were all the copies they recieved. not a single copy got purchased, at least from that location.

why is it that if a game is different in a way that is less than ideal, so many people jump to saying things like "_______ is dead, and they are raping its corpse!"? its a tad bit extreme, don't you think? and really sexually aggressive. and its not even an apt metaphor. the Tom Clancy franchise isn't a non-consenting participant. the Tom Clancy franchise isn't even a sentient thing. it doesn't represent a group of people either, its just a collection of intellectual property trademarks. and the trademarks are being used to create financially successful pieces of merchandise. now if we pretended that a group of intellectual property trademarks were in fact sentient, wouldn't the one thing that might satisfy them in some kind of sexual manner be being used to create successful products? i think so. also, using rape metaphors for bullshit things like games you don't like is seriously offensive to rape survivors.
 
also, chill dude. go re-install rouge spear if thats the game you wanna keep playing forever. maybe download a single player mod or something. did it have mods? whatever.

i didnt get paid until today and it sold out AGAIN. my life is like if a trainwreck and a natural disaster fucked.

no. you just need to make a new one.
