GD Lounge- The Next Generation Edition

Going to do an unboxing of the Dedsec edition of Watch Dogs if you guys are interested

@The_Last_Ride: You mean like an unboxing video?

@BranKetra: Godzilla is great in theaters. I got crappy seats right in the front, but I still had a popping time. If you have an good crowd watching the movie with you, it becomes a lot more exhilarating and involved compare to if you would watch alone in your home. The movie has flaws, but you'll have a blast. ;)

@BranKetra: Cool beans. I got Maleficent this Friday. Something about it seems like it's going to be a really good movie. I am just curious how they plan on deviating away from the original Sleeping Beauty story. I also want to see that Million Ways to Die movie. It looks like it might be kind of fun.

@behardy24: Your recommendation echoes others in saying that there is some negative attributes of that film, but more good than them. I certainly will be seeing it.

@chicknfeet2: Maleficent has a very atmospheric trailer. Also, Maleficent seems to be portrayed in a manner that is true to form which is basically that of an evil intellectual. It is definitely a film worth watching from what I know about it.

Finally finished Diablo 3 on Inferno mode. I kind of wish I'd finished it with more difficult enemies. I played with normal settings and that just seemed to easy for me at the time. I might play through it again on a harder level.

Am I the only one that has been seeing an increase of activity from spam bots in the last week, specifically here on GD?

@

Yeah, I went through Inferno difficulty on medium and it wasn't too bad (mainly because I had friends to help me out). I think the higher the difficulty level, the more gold and loot you are able to acquire. Maybe you should go through another playthrough with a brand-new character from the ground-up?

Watch dogs world is good from the graphics point of view But I wonder if the gameplay is going to be just as good should I try it or not?

@BranKetra regarding the spambots :3

@The_Last_Ride:

Just a reminder, please do not reply to spam messages. If you do that it makes it harder for moderators to distinguish spam topics from ordinary ones (plus it pushes them further up the board and thus people are more likely going to see it and potentially go to harmful sites). In the future, just flag it or send a PM to a moderator. Just keep posting and maintain outstanding discussion and we will try to keep on top of it (but given we can not be here at all times, it does sometimes take time before one of us can be online to resolve it).

I am glad someone got that pun, though it was quite obvious.

Unrelated, Street Fighter: Assassin's Fist was not bad. I finally watched it.

I have heard talk about this film on other forums. Is this movie new?

Yes. Here is the wikipedia on it.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Street_Fighter:_Assassin%27s_Fist

Good god does this place seem like a ghost town. First time back here in like 5 months and it seems like everyone is gone. Over 1/2 the threads on this page are made by one dude. Musta gone downhill around here.

Oh yeah, never mind. I saw a trailer for that when it first came out, it looked pretty cheesy. But then again, I'm not a Street Fighter fan so maybe that is the way it's suppose to be??

Yea. That's what everyone has been saying recently.

Anyway, with Batman: Arkham Knight delayed until sometime in 2015, the only game I'm really excited about getting my hands on this year is Diablo 3: Ultimate Evil edition on PS4. Sure, Destiny looks like fun, reminds me of Borderlands a lot, but I'm in the mood to slay more evil through sword and sorcery! :)

At least i'll be getting Dragon Age, Destiny and Driveclub this year

@The_Last_Ride: I'm kind of nervous about the new Dragon Age. I'm replaying DA:O now and having such a great time with it, even with my lack of assassin knowledge. People are getting the shit stabbed out of their backs :D

I'm hoping to go to a Destiny midnight launch. It would be my first ever midnight launch.

Hmm, has the mods given up or what's happening on the spam-bot front?

Its pretty insane lately and the messages tend to stick around for a very long time.

@Jacanuk:

I too, have noticed that.

I step away for one day -- one day -- and the board becomes flooded with spam. Christ. I don't even want to imagine what state it'll be in when I'm gone all next week.

You could have PMed one of us, you know. Would be better than sitting around complaining about how nothing gets done. A little proactive action isn't too much to ask, is it?

Are you going to E3? Because I just remember that you write reviews for a website.

Also perhaps make some topics and get some discussion going, that way it promotes more discussion and then more users are likely to come around here. Saying that, it is quality over quantity, this is a place for sensible discussion.

What I am trying to say is, if you want to talk about something and you do not see a topic for it, then make one and then others can discuss it with you.

I've never done midnight launches at all. Technically, I could now with all this pre-loading business that Sony is doing with a game like Destiny, but I've already paid it off at Gamestop, so there is no point. I can wait a day before release. :P

Great idea if it wasn´t because within a hour that topic most likely would be at the bottom of the list because of spambots

I could do that and i will do that next time, didn´t think about it but if it gets as bad i will message one of the you mods.

I don't know if i will do that, but i will get it eventually

Thank you. Tell 'em I sent you guys, if that helps. Hell, just PM me if you have to. I check my messages frequently.

Sorry if I came off as callous earlier. Just frustrated by all this.

I am. This will be my third year going. Anything I should be on the lookout for?

Things to watch out for during E3:

• The crazy fans the game publishers let in. They go f*cking bananas from what I've heard.
• The Hitmen. If you got a juicy exclusive, hold on to it for dear life! The Hitmen will come repeatably stab you to get that exclusive off your cold bloody hands. There is a reason why some exhibitors look calm.
• If you see a guy outside the convention demonstrating with a sign saying "Please Let me in". That is most likely me and should try smuggle me inside :P

@Jacanuk:

I understand, we are trying, it is just getting consistent moderators online that is perhaps the issue (most of us have paid jobs as well and we also want to do gaming etc in our spare time as well as families etc). I do feel it is good to get topics, the more users here the more likely we are to get more moderators on this board and thus less spam thus everybody wins!

Just realized yesterday that I'm now one of the Top Posters on this forum. :P I feel buttery inside :D Watch out @The_Last_Ride!!! I'm coming for you! :P

I'm currently playing Path of Exile. Fun game. I'm about a level 15 or 16 last time I checked. It's totally awesome. I would recommend it.

New lounge here.
