General gaming news

Why do people keep using the skulls in Halo as an example of shitty achievements? They were in the first two games as well before achievements were even around and they do much more than just get you achievement points.

Because the skulls in halo was the dumbest fucking vidya gaem idea since using Skittles as a plot point.

And that has what to do with Achievements?

Because putting achievements on skulls was the dumbest fucking thing since putting skulls in halo.

OK since you seem to have no concept of the argument going on here I'll give you a refresher. Maxx is saying achievements contribute to worse games because it gives dev's a easy way out. He used the Halo 3 skulls as an example of dev's being lazy and putting something in just for achievements. Someone else made the same reference. I asked why, since skulls have been in every halo and have served the same purpose since the beginning. Just because they put them as achievements doesn't make them any worse. They actually gained more rewards in H3 and actually had a point because of campaign scoring and unlockable armor. So the skulls have nothing to do with achievements making games worse, or making dev's lazy.

Even if there weren't achievements attached to them everyone is still being stupid for bringing the skulls up.

I didn't collect the skulls for no retarded achievement, i collected them for my fuckin' sweet ninja gaiden armor.

Is Unreal T3 already out for PC?

[Pyro]

As far as I understand it has been shipped but I don't know if stores have put it on the shelves yet.

[Stee]

So Unreal Tournament 3 has gone gold for the PS3, its coming out in stores December 11th. All I have to say is DAMN I wish it was delayed to 2008 because now I seriously am just fuckin broke.

There apparently is such a thing as too much of a good thing. Its a shame that there aren't very many AAA titles released over the summer, when, you know, I actually have the time to play games.

Link's crossbow training is fucking amazing, btw... the zapper is great too.

[Po]

That's great to hear

Also, it will be great fun to use it with Umbrella Chronicles.

[izembo]

yea, i'm definitely having a load of fun with the crossbow training

[Exoduso]

Yeah I grabbed UC with it, haven't had a chance to play it yet but it looked pretty tight (especially since it's a railshooter..)

[GraveRobberX]

I just bought Flow+ the new expansion/Everyday Shooter from the PS3 Store

I cant stop playing Flow for some reason, it looks so good visually, and its is such a basic game

Everyday Shooter had the Asteroid gaming vide, + the music created from killing stuff is amazing

The replayability of both games are awesome

Both these PSN game + some others will be on sale 50%, coming this weekend till the 29th of November

I bought them @ full price, thinking the sale started >.>;, oh well

Yeah that's it. That game looks incredibly sex, more reason to buy a PS3.

New game from SE coming out called Lord of Vermillion. Not really much info about it but from what I see from some of the screenshots it almost looks like a card based game like Eye of Judgment but without physical cards. Probably a bad explanation from me especially if it turns out nothing like that.
