I feel like Iron Galaxy has been involved in a few of these situations over the last couple of years. That kind of drags their name down a bit... hopefully they can get it figured out.

An awesome addition to the Bomb Crew. I'm always skeptical of how anyone new will mesh with the chemistry that the guys have always had but it seems like Jeff, Vinny, etc. know exactly what they need to look for a new hire because they have knocked it out of the park. First with Dan and Jason... and now with Austin.

Austin you're fantastic. I'm excited to read and hear what you have for all of us Duders in the future here at Giant Bomb!!!!!!!!!

@Chocobodude3: @se1zur3: @viking_funeral:Different folks have different experiences with every game. I personally had zero issues with Dragon Age but I totally understand if you did. I remember everyone talking about how buggy the previous two Fallout games were and I also went through those crash free and with no issues.

Another horribly broken experience that I tried to strike from my memory was Ultima IX... I could never get more than a few minutes into it back in the day without something catastrophic happening to my save or the game itself.

I read this.

I laughed at "it's a car!!!"

My humor is deep!

@jbg4: Man you must precognitive

Nintendo's announcement today is huge!

I was right about theri next hardware though, they said it's code named NX and won't be revealed until at least 2016.

I'm starting a 1-900 number under the name "Miss Cleo" because I'm pretty sure it's available.

Normally F1 games are released somewhere in October / November (when the season is almost over), the new one (F1 2015) will be released in June or July this year I think. Codemasters have been working on this one for more then a year, it will only release on XB1, PS4 and PC.

On the topic of Hotline Miami; I'm playing #2 on the Vita and have some problems with it (besides it crashing once). I just can't "see" far enough in this game; when I walk long corridors I stretch the view as far as possible and inch my way forward and then still getting shot by an enemy. The enemies can see further than the player it seems.

I don't recall having this problem with the last one, maybe there are more long hallways in this one?

I didn't have any of those problems with the first one on the Vita so I'm not sure what's going on with the sequel. I'm playing it on PC though and haven't had any issues.

That bug in Helldivers really suck, I feel bad for you! I can't even believe something like that made it through certification.

Losing progress like that can really be a huge buzz kill when you're on a roll in a game. I remember losing around 50 hours of Dark Souls because my xbox 360 HDD for some reason decided it was a good idea to wipe itself, good times.

I spent a lot of time fighting "bugs" in Helldivers. "BUGS"

I need to put some time into 2013. I bought it when it came out and then seemed to neglect it. I actually wonder why they release F1 games so far into the season. I mean, I know they do it so the teams can be accurately represented on the grid but, when your AI keeps the pack kinda together, it seems like a nullified effort.

I'm mostly just trying not to crash right now because I turned on realistic damage. I am not a good driver.

Oh right, there was an F1 sale on Steam. Whoops.

Guess I'll continue just imagining what the tracks look like in my head from Drew and Danny's descriptions.

F1 2014 is technically out of date, right? They usually release the game in the middle of the current season?

According to the release dates of the others, they seem to release in October. F1 2014 came out October 2014.

What are you hoping is unveiled at E3 this year?

Anything that would make me say "Oh yeah, that's why I own a console". This generation has been the absolute worst. We're more than a year in and neither has anything to justify their existence. Nothing but re-releases and inferior versions of multi-platform games. Am I alone on this? Have consoles ever seemed more irrelevant?

I'm with you... I haven't really paid much attention to the lack of stuff coming to consoles because I have done so much gaming on PC over the last year and I have played a TON of stuff on 3DS and Wii U. Both of which, I think, have knocked it out of the park in the last couple of years; especially when I compare them to what Sony and Microsoft have done over that same period.

@slag said:

I'd be really really surprised if Nintendo announces a new console this year. The Wii U is only three years old... Honestly if I figure it'd be 2017 or so before I'd expect a new one from them.

I'd love for a hybrid 3Ds/WiiU or something similiar like you are talking about, but I just can't see that happening. Nintendo always has a struck me as a company that is interested in dictating the terms of engagement with their games to others. Whether that's their customers or vendor partners. If you want to play Mario, you got to do it the way Nintendo wants you too, or well you don't get to.

And to be honest I think they would have to be reasonably concerned that if you combined the platforms they might halve their audience by combining them onto one platform. Anybody buying Nintendo hardware at this point is just buying it for their 1st party stuff anyway and probably is reasonably willing to buy a handheld and a console independently. I mean we've all jumped through that hoop for Nintendo for decades. It's their way to turn one customer into two. The people who aren't buying it now, likely aren't going to be convinced by Crossplay possibilities. That doesn't address the core reasons they aren't buying (lack of 3rd party software, interface, hardware horespower etc).

What are you hoping is unveiled at E3 this year?

At E3 I really want to see what people plan to do with VR in terms of software.

I got to see some stuff at PAX east and it VR is beginning to feel very very close to being the real deal this time. But the games aren't there at all yet.

I think VR's success or lack thereof will define this gen.

A man can dream about a hybrid Nintendo console, haha... I play so many games on systems by the big "N" that it would be a blessing for me. I have logged more hours on my 3DS this year than any other platform, PC included. I don't think a hybrid system will happen, so I agree with you there, I think they know their place in the market right now and they are perfectly fine with it. What I do think will happen with them is that the next system will be another small step forward performance-wise like the Wii U was because it will be cheaper to produce.

I am so "blah" about VR. I think it is a cool concept with some major hurdles to jump over if it wants to be successful. There will be a ton of people who don't want to try it because they will be afraid of headaches, nausea, hypoglycemia, dandruff, etc. that they will have to really prove that it is side-effect free to make it something that a HUGE audience will want to give a shot. I can see it just becoming another peripheral that some people love and others don't care about. The software will make or break it though... a killer app can change everything.

I feel largely the same way about Lords of the Fallen. Something about it just feels souless (heh). I set ti down about halfway through and I don't know if I'll pick it back up.

As for rerelease remasters. I don't usually play those as in many cases I played the game the first time.

Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes I guess. Yeah I realize hardcore Metal Gear fans like the PS1 version better, but I prefer the better graphics.

You probably made it farther into Lords of the Fallen than I did. I think I hate that game. It has nothing to do with the difficulty, there's just something about it that makes me despise it.

Twin Snakes was great. I had actually forgotten about it until now but that was great. I just bought the Metal Gear Legacy Collection to play Peace Walker for the first time and that looks good to have been a PSP game before.

@corevi: You definitely nailed one of my favorites. That game still looks fantastic and the improvements to the HD version were great.

I guess to answer my own question, which I should have done above, my favorite remake was Wind Waker HD... that game blew me away when I played the original version and the art and colors look absolutely stunning in HD.

@yummylee: I totally understand what you're saying. It would have been nice to have had a couple neat additions but I had a great time just going back through and seeing everything again, I finished it today and it had been over a decade since I beat the GameCube version so I had forgotten some of the cool things that happen.

The last patch pretty much fixed MCC, the matchmaking is still slower then a COD but the game has so many playlists it's understandable. Really don't see the issue of MS releasing a bundle with it now that the game is working fine.

I just think that if you bundle a game with a system then it should be something that totally sets the tone for the console (while we have gotten away from that in recent years with games being bundled all willy nilly). When I tried to play it on Saturday we waited almost 8 minutes to get into a game of Big Team Battle and then every couple of matches someone would get kicked. It may be playable but it isn't the game that I would want to showcase to someone who just bought an XBOX One.

I love the Halo series. I bought the first with my original XBOX on launch day and I had high hopes for the Collection but was disappointed.

@sparky_buzzsaw: By the time Christmas rolls back around Microsoft may have Phil Spencer deliver your XBOX One to your house and make you waffles while it updates. So, I would hold out because waffles are pretty good.
