I sincerely wish Blizzard would stop announcing games 3+ years before they're ready for release. It's not like they need THAT much time to gather hype.
The games will come. And then I will giggle. All these Nintendo is doomed comments make me lol.
They have happened, and will continue to do so, since the Dreamcast. Haters want to play Zelda and Mario on their console of choice so they circle like vultures waiting. They're gonna still be circling for a long time.
I have no desire to play those games, I just don't like Nintendo and their smug philosophy. They do hold the rains on some beloved (and flogged to death) franchises, and they use that to dictate what players want rather than adapt to player concerns and needs. Actually, I'm not even upset with Nintendo, just the baffling trend for people to buy the re-re-re-re-release of their old favorites like, say, Zelda, and then sit up and say "Thank you!" to Nintendo like they've been done some huge favor. Why don't we, you know, ask them to innovate with software like they do with hardware? Meh, I guess to each his own. I still think it's dumb. Kinda' like I think it's dumb that people keep buying Fable games or going to see Transformers movies. Going back to the same trough over and over no matter how rotten the food is. Yeah, that's Nintendo to me.
@haggis: Exactly. All this points to is the fact that Nintendo's profit-from-hardware mentality isn't going to cut it in this more discerning market. Disposable income just isn't what it was when the Wii released, so that money wave they were riding because people could spend on a frivolous, gimmicky system just isn't there any more. Instead of telling gamers what they want, Nintendo better start listening to us instead and deliver performance hardware even if it's at a loss.
Another reminder is that every time there is a cutscene you'll have to redeploy your tripod legs to get the bonuses. You come out to a standing position during the cutscene.
Ryan Davis was doing a lot of things that night. Playing Trenched wasn't one of them. I estimated he only spent about 40-50% of the time actually looking at the screen while he played.
I've discovered the Woodruff with 4x Scythe, Flak/Shotgun/ICP emplacements and Hot Pants is an excellent all-purpose build. I was able to Gold Volcano running solo using that build.
Tripod legs (with Fortify and Quickload, preferably), Karlsson Chassis and 2x Gugnir (3-slot sniper rifle that drops on Africa levels). Park it and nail each weak point as soon as it becomes available. With Fortify legs, you can pretty safely ignore enemies and his attacks. If you can get up and move before the lightning hits your spot, then do it, but if you can't guarantee you'll be out of the way in time, don't stand up. Fortify lets you tank it very well. Repair emplacement is handy just to help out a bit, and I drop MG turrets around, too, as the opportunity arises.
This is actually easiest to Gold when you're by yourself, but as long as everyone takes this loadout it's a fairly simple one to do.
I don't think there are many or any other Explosive type weapons in the game, so I couldn't say. It looks like that shotty shoots a mine at the enemies. Broadcasters were described as "flamethrowers" in the GB quicklook.
