I don't know. On one hand on all accounts it's a buggy game that didn't deliver what it promised... on the other, the main reason people are loving it is because it's got a social aspect that's unparalleled.

Yeah I don't get the hate for the game. I'm not a Pokemon fan, but for those that are, all the power to them.

And if it kills a few people dumb enough to walk in traffic or fall of a cliff, that's just natural selection at work.

Also known as "thinning the herd", and I agree.

The news report I saw on the girl who got hit by a car actually showed the intro screen that tells you to be aware of your surroundings in the background. 

[GhostMachine]

Probably the same report I saw. They not only showed the screen, but the reporter narrating the story even read it out loud. The girl was a dumbass, and her mother wasn't doing her any favors by making excuses and blaming the game rather than the girl walking on a highway. I have no sympathy at all.

Wonder what her reaction would have been if the girl walked had out onto a racetrack while a race was in progress?

Dead Rising remasters coming to PS4, Xbox One and PC! I mean, it would have been nice of them to make the older games backwards compatible on the One but maybe they might add some stuff, like co-op and better AI in the first game. That and with the advent of the suspend/resume feature of the One, maybe I'll actually be able to do the whole 7 day survival thing.

@Benji THINK OF ALL THE TIME LIMITS!

Anyone else playing Mirrors Edge Catalyst? Got it yesterday and enjoying it so far

[Baddar]

I really enjoyed DR2, but didn't it have a weird save system? @New Damage woulld know. Seem to recall him putting hours into it.

[OctoberRaven]

I think it autosaved every time you went into a new area, but it was ages since I played it so IDK.

What I do remember is fighting those twins while drinking cocktails of vodka combined with vodka (lol) and throwing up during the fight a lot.

I know that you had to save in the toilets and that's about it as far as the save mechanism.

I got 98% of trophies for it, the only one Idon't have is when you have to do every chapter co op - I even did the kill 72k zombies in the time limit. After 3 attempts.

I wanted the platinum

The 'Elusive Target' right now on Hitman is Gary Busey. That was, ummm....an interesting mission.

 

Didn't really go well for me. I took out one of his guards, but someone saw me stash the body. Then his other guard thought I was suspicious, so I had to kill them. Then I went to kill Gary in a dark alley, but I missed the first two shots.

[blueblood]

Anyone else still playing the first Zombies on PS3 with the Nazi zombies?

What were some good games for the Dreamcast? I've downloaded an emulator and some games (Virtua Tennis, Virtua Soccer, Shenmue and some others), but I really don't know anything about it.

The Dreamcast version of Crazy Taxi is the best version released for the home consoles. Jet Set Radio is also one a key Dreamcast title. And from what I understand the Sonic Adventure titles are some of the better titles in the 3D era of Sonic.And I'd add Space Channel 5 and Capcom vs SNK as a couple of titles you might want to check out.

Cheers, I remember playing Crazy Taxi at a mates house once and fell in love with it. I'll check the rest out when I get to better internet connection.

If you are interested in wrestling games there is the Dreamcast exclusive WWF Royal Rumble as well as the two ECW games (Hardcore Revolution & Anarzhy Rulz) and if you want to venture into the Japanese titles I think there is a Fire Pro game as well as a couple of All Japan and New Japan games.

[MDK]

Jeez, I tried ECW Hardcore Revolution on the 64 and it was pants. Might look at the All Japan and New Japan.

[TheWho87]

Acclaim just gave WWF Attitude a re-skin for both the ECW games, Anarchy Rulez isnt much better.

[Draevyn]

It may not have been very good but I wasted a lot of time on all three of those games in my youth.
