[QUOTE="Dracula68"]Oh MW3 will outscore BF3 on name alone guaranteed.ExoticAnimal

Believe me, it's going to. It's going to get all those nice high scores because it's MW slapped on the box. It's the same thing with GTA - when a GTA comes in, automatic 10s out of 10s...so sickening. I hate it when people get so absorb into the game's release, as if it was love on first sight, but the more you play it, the more problems you see with it that makes you question the score in the first place. Everything should be thoroughly evaluated and checked upon before rushing to judgment.

That I can't be totally sure of until I play it. :P But from what I've seen so far, it will look great. The single-player campaign sounds promising, I really want to try out the Spec Ops and Survival modes, and I guess I'll hop in more on multiplayer and see how harder it is.

[QUOTE="ExoticAnimal"] You jelly that MW3 is going to be the better game than BF3? :PExoticAnimal

One of the biggest problems I have with COD's multiplayer is the fact that just about every game I'm in, most gamers unfortunately camp and wait for people to come out in the open and snipe people. I know it's about strategy, but it's done way too much. It's not like back in the day, where you find each other and gun each other down...the way it should be!

[QUOTE="Metamania"]

[QUOTE="ExoticAnimal"] I'll play my brother's copy mainly for the campaign and spec ops. I don't bother with multiplayer anymore because I just hate all the kill-streaks that they have now. It's too chaotic and too easy to rack up kill-streaks. CoD4 MP was something special but sadly, the other games haven't matched it in terms of its greatness.ExoticAnimal

I played Unreal Tournament back in the day with friends, it was amazing! And yes, I know that it's more noticeable in COD, but there's no excuse to do it too much. Every once in awhile, fine, but everybody doing it? Ruins the fun, if you ask me!

-To top it all off, my copy of Disturbed's The Lost Children arrived in the mail today. I got it one day ahead of release, which is tomorrow!

Awesome!!!

Metamania

Oh nice, I am jealous! I get mine tomorrow.

You get yours tomorrow? So cool! You won't be jealous of me that much longer then! :P

Where did you pre-order through?

This is where I pre-ordered, like a month in advance.

[QUOTE="xxKai"][QUOTE="Metamania"]

For my first black belt testing, I had to do 500 push-ups and 500 crunches in a row, with no rest in between!

Metamania

Yeah, man, take it slowly and do the best you can. I challenge myself each day to see if I can surpass fifty. Sometimes I could, other times I couldn't. But you'll get there!

What's the extra dollar for? I was lazy and went through iTunes even though I got the e-mail.

[QUOTE="Metamania"]

[QUOTE="xxKai"] NOT looking forward to that! I can do 50 pushups in a row so far, hopefully it'll slowly turn into 500 lawlDaavpuke

Yeah, during a class, that's possible, but our instructors wanted us to keep going, non-stop. So it was tough!

that's really not healthy though. But I attended martial arts classes before; it seems to be the norm. Don't know why though. Now if we're talking fast, non-focused push ups, I can probably chrun out like 40 or so. 50 still sounds high though, except if I really halfass it.Daavpuke

Well, it was during my first black belt and that was two years ago. This time, we did it seperately. For example, we had to do 100 push-ups and 100 crunches, so my partner and I would do 25 push-ups, then 25 crunches. Rinse, wash, and repeat. It was done quickly. We would do 100 every hour until 500 was reached, so five hours was all it took.

I awoke to a lot of people asking me if I picked up "the greatest shooter on Earth." Really? Some people are just asking for it...I'm only interested in MW3 for two reasons.

-To check out the story.
-To play Spec Ops and Survival mode.

Multiplayer I won't be touching on as much. To me, the COD series is really the Madden of FPS; little has changed, it's the same game for years, and people still buy it. I only bought it because of the reasons I mentioned above, but not because of multiplayer as much. Yes, I'll check out MP, but I won't be highly engrossed in it as others will be...MP was one of the reasons I dislike the series with such intensity.

So overall...MW3 might have some decent things going for it. But GOTY material IT IS NOT! People need to stop deluding themselves to believe that MW3 is the s***!

Is the "placeholder review" gonna be a new thing now? First Edge and now AE

Edit: I pray that the embargo ends at that time. *starts praying* I can finally get up like a normal human then

I have found The Lost Children! Seriously, I am so glad Disturbed did this. It's like a whole new album.Dracula68

That's exactly what I'm feeling. What of my favorite songs, on TLC (The Lost Children for short), is This Moment. Very-groove like, classic Disturbed. I'm surprised that song wasn't on a regular Disturbed record!

I believe I got Leave It Alone as a bonus track for Asylum on ITunes when I pre-ordered it. So I have that song on two records now. :lol:

Oh yeah? I got "3" twice now...lol When they sent out the e-mail about releaseing "3" for the West Memphis 3 to help pay court fees I bought it then.

Seems we killed the thread Draiman style!

[QUOTE="Metamania"]

[QUOTE="Dracula68"] A lot of these were definitely good enough for an album. So far I am really into Leave it Alone and Two Worlds. Just like when any new album comes out this will keep changing the more I listen.Dracula68

So I wonder if we should rename the thread The Lost Children Edition?

I didn't get 3 when they had that deal going on, so it's a good thing I waited for this album. Now I don't have pay for that song twice. :lol:

I honestly don't mind paying twice since the money or at least part of it was donated. If you haven't followed that case they got screwed because they listen "to devil musis"...Metallica is now devil music:roll:

It's more than that though; I heard that the witnesses weren't good and the confessions were pretty much false. The police were looking for a quick result in it and they screwed up, which is something they refuse to admit. At least they are out now, although through an Alfred plea bargin, I think it's called. I hope they can now find the right killers and bring them to justice.

You could always name the next lounge that if you want to make it.

Really? I thought it was up to the mods to make the thread and name it themselves. I figured it was their honor and not a regular like myself, but I'll keep that in mind now. Thank you! :)

Yeah! Only reason we mods keep making them is because it's just easier to swap out topics ourselves. But why not mix it up a little every now and then, right?

HOLY........HOLY..........YOU GUYS!!!!! The most random and amazing thing happened today: My brother is an impatient fellow, in fact, he's literally the most impatient dude on the planet. don't believe me? Think you know someone worse? Here's my QED: Today he went out to the store and bought me a brand new PS3, because he didn't want to have to wait his turn playing Skyrim :'). I have no words on his logic, just super amazingly glad with my new toy. This is insane. I couldn't believe it at first, but it's really here.Daavpuke

So now you can play PlayStation 3 games? Nice. Only problem is that having one will undoubtedly increase your workload. But, hey -- new console!

If I can figure out how to 'connect' my PSP to it now and figure out the best output setting for a Euro AV cable, that'd be grand, because right now Uncharted 3 doesn't look as hot as people say it is. Did I mention it came with Uncharted 3? Yeah.Daavpuke

I know the feeling. I used to own a lot of systems and it was sometimes hard to keep track of everything. That's why I currently stick with one system for right now, because I know where everything is and I don't have to worry about switching from one system to the next.

In the very rare event that Skyrim doesn't get me hooked I just found my fallback game--Rayman Origins. Didn't even know this was coming out so soon in this holiday rush. From reading some reviews it seems like they went back to its roots kinda. I enjoyed the very early titles but that was it.Dracula68

Yeah, Rayman looks like a lot of fun. It's about time they went back to the series' roots. Really looking forward to playing it finally.

I'm with you both on Rayman Origins. I was excited to read about it when Game Informer covered it in a recent issue awhile back. I love platformers and Rayman Origins not only looks beautiful, but feels very challenging, either by yourself or with friends, locally. Would have been nice to have some kind of online co-op, but again, not all games need online co-op or competitive play anyway, so I'm fine with that.

I'm glad it doesn't have online, actually. Platformers tend not to run well online due to lag. When I played the co-op of Outland a few months back, every single game had the most excruciating lag that made the game nigh unplayable. It was horrible. Local play may not be as convenient, but hey -- least it's guaranteed to work at all times, right?

OMG THEY HAVE AN RC IN THE GGD TOO? Why did nobody ever tell me this :/ Can't wait for Christmas, that way I can finally get my copy of Skyrim and ModernWarfare 3NiKva

There's one in practically every board now, I think.

Oh, and welcome!

That's what I love about local play; you don't need to worry about any kind of online lag. It's just you and the game and it seems like Rayman Origins has it down right to where it's not the game's fault, but your fault instead. That's the impression that I'm getting from all the previews I've read so far, so it sounds like a really entertaining platformer.

So far I am really into Leave it Alone and Two Worlds. Dracula68
