UbiSoft is staffed by sadists and other bastardly-type people...

Spent at least 20-30 mins on ONE bonus level of Rayman Origins because of poor timing on my part.

Goddamn spikes, fire and other assorted bullshit kept killing me ('Pirate Treasure').

...and yet my controller is okay at the moment.

 

At the moment. :rage:

Dude, you haven't seen anything yet. That game is bananas towards the end, particularly if you do the "real" final level and get all of the red teeth.

I watched the vid on YouTube.

I like my controller too much to put it through the amount of Hulk-like anger I'd gain just from playing that level.

I'm starting to miss Cages now because I haven't gotten some of the level patterns down yet... :shifty:

You fucks that play ME3 on the 360 need to join Leftwich and I the next time we play.

Some of the scares in Dead Space 2 have not been as effective as they should be for me. I learned my lesson in Dead Space 1, if you walk into a room and there is something lying on the ground you shoot that bastard repeatedly/

I totally agree, thought the same thing many times. And I think the atmosphere of 1 was a bit more enclosed/intense/horror-esque. That being said, I think 2 is the overall better game. They are both fucking amazing though.

I can't decide what to play tonight. Want to play something I haven't played in awhile. Down to LA Noire, GTA4, or Saints Row 1, but I can't decide which. Suggestions?

I agree. I get the overall feeling that the aiming system for both of them is kind of like the next logical step from Resident Evil 4's system in a way, which is very satisfying. I really like the main plots from both but don't find my self really compelled by the backstory in text and audio logs at all. Just comes off as a dumbed down retelling of the Alien movies universe.

Skimpy Outfit Gets Lollipop Chainsaw Cosplayer Asked to Leave PAX

Word is that Jessica Nigri, a big-time cosplayer hired to portray the protagonist of Lollipop Chainsaw, was asked to leave PAX East yesterday. Why, you ask? Oh, I don't know. Maybe that hot pink jumpsuit with a "neckline" plunging to her crotch has something to do with it
She's back today (here is Nigri, as Juliet Starling, at the Lollipop Chainsaw booth.) But Destructoid first reported that she was "asked to leave the show floor" until she had changed out of that pink outfit at right. But after changing back to the Juliet Starling costume, at left—which she had worn all Friday with no issue—she was asked to change again or leave the show entirely.

Nigri's Twitter feed does reference something like this. "Haha guys! I just had to tone down the costume!" she tweeted this morning.

Robert Khoo, the president of business development for Penny Arcade, verified to Kotaku that Nigri was asked to change, or leave, because expo staff had received plenty of complaints about her attire, or lack of it.

Khoo said expo staff "notified the WB booth on Friday of our concerns regarding the costumes, and although there was some confusion initially about which outfit was appropriate ... they understood the situation."

Penny Arcade has had a "no booth babe" policy at its expos, not wishing them to be known for models in skimpy clothes hawking products, as they do at other events in the video gaming industry. Two years ago, that policy was put to a vote of its community, which largely reaffirmed the idea. Costumed representatives are required to know something about their product. There is to be "no messaging that specifically calls out body parts," and while "cosplayed characters are allowed to wear revealing outfits, assuming it is true to the source game," there is a ban on anything considered "partial nudity." This policy still is in place, Khoo said.

"Although the policies regarding appropriate attire are clearly laid out in our exhibitor rules, there are times when edge cases like Lollipop Chainsaw, which technically is allowed since it's the main character in the game, pop up," Khoo told Kotaku. "For scenarios like that, we need to make a judgment call, and a big factor for this one was looking at the number of complaints we has received."

"Ultimately the costume policy is designed to keep the show family friendly, as we see a good number of parents being their young children to the show," Khoo said. "No one, including WB, wants to upset their fans, so I'm perfectly fine standing behind the decision and policy."

God I haven't played a WWE game since SvR 2008 or something. The controls are waaaaay different.

Got COD4 and Rayman Origins on sale from Target this afternoon.

One for VSD Game Night in the near future, the other because SHAME ON MY ASS FOR NOT BUYING IT SOONER.

Rayman reminds me of the first two Oddworld games minus the grimdark atmosphere and the propensity of the player to get shot the fuck dead.

Just straight collection, platform puzzles (mucho trial and error), and a goonie-ass character that's endearing to everyone.

So you bought old ass CoD4 and Rayman instead of R&C to play co-op with me? Well, fuck you very much sir.

:lebron:

I'm confused? Wasn't there already an Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom?

Buy a new system.

Also, according to Sony, my "Game Sharing" at the time was perfectly legal (and still is with the 4 slots down to 2 now... ) so... suck it.
