I can definitely see Dragon Age 3 tanking. 

I'm willing to bet GTAV outsells this years Call of Duty though. Everything I've seen from V honestly looks amazing.

Remember when games had good gameplay,VA/scripts,music score and story?

Cause Vanquish only has one of those

Compared to...what exactly? Nearly every video game in existence has terrible writing and a terrible story in general compared to every other story driven medium. At least Platinum has the decency not to force me to sit through unintentionally terrible cutscenes and dialog unlike 99% of all other cinematic games today(sup Tomb Raider?). PG games stories/cutscenes are just intentionally terrible and hilarious.

Soul Sacrifice is absolutely going to take over my life, I can feel it. I've already put around 10 hours into the demo.

Outside of Bayonetta, actually no they don't make excellent games. Vanquish was mediocre at best with a awful story and VA, the only decent thing in that game was the combat (the boss fights were just repetitive though). MGRR was also meh and suffered the same awful story and stereotypical VA Vanquish did, the whole duo personalty or w/e Raiden had was just....W T F (so GD cheesy). I will praise MGRR combat though, so it wasn't a total waste.

In the end, people over hype Platinum games.

Remember the good ole' days when gamers actually gave a shit about, you know, actual gameplay? I do. Those were good times.

Here's hoping Platinum can keep on being awesome.

Man the first three or four hours of this game were marvelous. The middle was pretty average and these last couple of hours have been downright awful. Then again I guess that's what happens when you rely on mediocre gameplay to carry you.

Please let this and no used games be true so I can save $400 next generation.

Well I was having a pretty good time with this until my autosave f*cked up. 

I think I'm nearly done with the campaign and it's been my favorite Gears campaign by far. Unlike previous Gears games, Judgement is packed to the gills with action and some fantastic encounter design.

I'll try and post some more detailed impressions but this has a good shot of washing the bad taste out of my mouth that Gears 3 left.

Just beat the game. The final boss is some kind of epic and probably the best final boss in the series. Once I figured out what to do in the Trials, it kind of became one of my favorite fights. It's a fight that REALLY requires you to lean on your magic and sub abilities, something that doesn't happen all that often in the GoW series. Great game overall and probably second to only GoW2 as my favorite. Now to try out some multiplayer.

There's absolutely no way they actually playtested the Trials. No way at all.

Haven't tried them myself yet, but makes sense. GoW's trials tend to be unfairly brutal and this time around I got the sense during the developer interview that announced them that they are tuned for two players.

I never found the previous trials to be unfair, just very difficult. This is straight up unfair.
