Lol, yeah. But you know I was just joking, right? I was making a joke of the "who did what first" arguments on this board. :P Now, I'll think of Jorge everytime I shoot a Helghast lol.

"Would have been awesome if we started off the game with putting a bullet in Ricos head because he's a total $%#$" Hahaha win!

If Jeff continues liking the SP I might buy this after all. I was just gonna rent it and buy for the multi later.Cherokee_Jack

I don't know if Jeff is the best place to go on opinions concerning story, if that's what you're on the fence about.

Letting it load now. Thanks for the heads-up!

Let's just say I would peg him as a Michael Bay fan.

I didn't watch that clip, but wasn't the training sequence a big complaint of this site?

[QUOTE="topgunmv"]

[QUOTE="Cherokee_Jack"] Don't know where you're coming from on that, but I agreed with him on KZ 2 so his reaction to 3 will probably be a good enough indicator for me.Cherokee_Jack

I'm not discounting his opinion, I just recommend listening to the bombcast after he posts the review to get a better idea of the game.

[QUOTE="Cherokee_Jack"] Well, I think he can still tell bad dumb action from good dumb action. But then I liked Modern Warfare 2's story, so maybe I just have bad taste too. :PCherokee_Jack

That's what I'm thinking Jeff is going to do, based on how much he and Ryan cackled everytime he shoved his thumbs through a guy's eyes.

Jeff really digs that kind of stuff.

See: His gears of war review.

I see what Mr. Vanord meant by an awful story now. Eesh, those cutscenes were the very definition of trying too hard :(.

The training sequence was neat up until that awkward reveal, then rewind to the past.

I can't count how many amazing movies have started exactly like that. it totally surprised me as well.

fantastic commentary. the killing rico part....because #$%^ that dude. ROFL.

[QUOTE="W1NGMAN-"] Same, and every now and then written reviews don't tell the whole story. Sometimes it's obvious a reviewer will score a game high due to technical proficiency more so than their enjoyment for the game.Cherokee_Jack

I didn't say he would give it 5 stars at all.

I said it has the flavor of gore centered gameplay that he likes, and he might overlook a lot of faults because of it.

Nothing wrong with it, since I'm sure he'd say as much on the bombcast.

[QUOTE="Cherokee_Jack"] So you're saying he'll automatically give it 5 stars because it has good graphics? I'm not following the reasoning here.Cherokee_Jack

[QUOTE="Cherokee_Jack"] I don't remember any incident like that in the past, but okay.Cherokee_Jack

Watch his gears of war review.

He mentions the chainsaw a few times, then later mentions how awesome it sounds cutting through flesh, and then later mentions how awesome curb stomping people is.

Then he says the story is nonexistant, maybe a paragraph in the manual.

9.6

Suddenly this game about meathead space marines shooting aliens needs an elaborate story?

The game worked just fine with the story it had.

[QUOTE="topgunmv"]

[QUOTE="Cherokee_Jack"] I'm not seeing him focus on the gore-centered gameplay in either of his Gears reviews. He mentions the chainsaw once or twice and that's pretty much it. I probably wouldn't have given Gears a 9.6, but it was a great game and I don't think you need to be obsessed with gore to give it a score like that.Cherokee_Jack

Only when those movies did that, it wasn't awkward :P.

... ... ... Preordered!

Also, from the look of those first 20 minutes it's hard to tell if the story is as awful as GS claims. Guess we'll have to see for ourselves.

That completely smashes Halo. Halo WAS simply amazing, but it never did evolve and improve as much as it should have. Imo Bungie is over-rated.

No.1 The twist at the start was obvious if you've played the campaign demo.

No.2 they are trying way too hard to be like naughty dog by showing the middle of the game at the start and working backwards, also they are trying to give little funny dialogue moments to the characters like Uncharted.

and No.3 the guy playing the game absolutely sucks. he hasn't a clue what he's doing half the time and for guys who "work" in videogames they couldn't even remember what the control or cover scheme was like in KZ2.
