[Real quick]

I'd rant at great length but I feel like hell

 

Dead Island looks like derivative shit, I watched some videos and... pretty much confirmed my opinion.

L4D with talents.

or

Dead Rising with coop.

 

(and dead island manages to implement a very clunky, very unimmersive healthbar/stats/etc tooltip over friend and foe)

 

Your choice.

:/

 

Secondly

Borderlands 2-

I wonder if they're going to write another GIANT check that they won't be able to cash

y'know

like failing to implement:

dynamic loot and world spawn

multiple endings

gajillions of unicorns

intuitive vehicle combat

 

I bought that game and received a briefcase of false promises.

 

Why yes, I'd love to preorder this sequ-

waaaaait a minuuuuute!!!

 

650,000 guns my ass

New play environment every time I loaded- my ass

Thousands of unique and terrifying bosses and monsters- my ass

Multiple vehicles with passenger space, and the ability to hijack enemies, or jump from one to the other- my ass

Epic story telling- my ass

 

You only made 8 types of enemies, and reskinned them slightly

in 5 average sized maps with train track fetch quests, with NO story line.

With static loot and only 8 variable weapon properties with 8 variables for 6 weapon types.

With ONE vehicle, that was shit, that was instant death if an enemy car bumped into you at ANY speed.

And the animation for boarding/disembarking was painfully slow, and in no way made it possible to launch yourself at enemies to steal their car.

Two generic static monstrous bosses, a couple humanoids with super guns and cheese tactics.

 

Mad Max on steroids

this aint.

 

Go fuck yourself.

 

I can't wait to see your game go for $5.00 on steam, with all of its "woops we meant to put this in, but didn't, so we'll charge you $9.00 later 'expacs'".

 

Maybe if Borderlands 2 came with a mail in rebate labeled "to everyone we lied to and disappointed- we're sorry, here's your $60.00 back for the fantastic pile of bullshit we sold you, we actually implemented everything we said we would in the sequel, no hard feelings? Hard feelings? ... oh, then you can get your money back, the complete game we promised you, AND punch us in the dick"

 

MAYBE then I'd get Borderlands 2.

Well.. what can I honestly expect from the publishers of DNF

and Halo :/

 

I'll give borderlands this much credit-

when everyone was scrambling to make the FPS/RPG/spiritual sucessor to Diablo 2 lootgrabby dungeony game

 

they made the best one on the market.

(Then Blizzard woke up and realised everyone actually wanted another Diablo, those death threats and sacks of mail begging for it weren't just a fluke)

 

But don't fucking LIE to me about your fantastical, innovative, genius, completely implementable features that you bail on 3 months before release, and (possibly deliberately) fail to update your website and press releases on these facts.

 

Also

Brink. What the fuck Brink?

 

Both of you fucksticks are on notice-

I got Diablo 3, Dark Souls, Fallout New Vegas, and Mass Effect 1-3 to vie for my affection and long plays.

Might as well put Reistance 2 and MGS4 on permanent /tableflipfuckyouguys notice as well.

 

Fuckers.

 

I hate buying lemons, and having my dreams and hopes dragged through a very wrinkly and very wet lemon party.

 

Might explain why I don't go to restaurants and movie theaters much any more, or play ANY game I can't get a demo version of.
