Thank Christ my regular crew and Ninjinister are still in here.

"If it weren't for the great use of the suit and the amazing (on PC) visuals, the game would be about as noteworthy as Homefront I.E. not at all."


If that's not comparing, I don't know what is

Sure, I said it doesn't resemble Homefront, from a gameplay standpoint, in my post. But, the fact stands that you compared it to Homefront....On basis of "noteworthiness"??? Who gives a **** how "noteworthy" it is? That's why I responded in a manner that compares Crysis 2 and Homefront from a gameplay/presentation standpoint, instead of responding to a silly statement about which is more "noteworthy" lol.

Compare gameplay, if you wanna talk games!

But that's where you end the debate, I suppose...

Anyone else try Crysis 2?

Lego Clone Wars for Wii for the past week... It's kinda complicated for a Lego game.

He was not comparing to HomeFront at all, just stating that if it didnt have the graphics it has and the suit upgrades, it would be as crappy as HomeFront.

On topic, I tried the beta of it when it was out and the online seemed pretty good. It got boring really quickly though.

Even more on topic:

Currently playing Test Drive still, and the 3ds. Really great piece of hardware, starting line up was a joke, but I rather enjoy the 3 titles I picked out. (Rayman, Street Fighter, Nintendogs)

I can only hope you reread that sentence and understand why I am laughing so hard at it, Jameo. Not comparing at all? Ooook.

Guess this thread needs a refresher

Compare: to examine (two or more objects, ideas, people, etc.) in order to note similarities and differences

Peanut clearly said that Crysis 2 was similar to Homefront, because it was just as bland and unnoteworthy.
Any time you stack two similar things next to each other and use phrases like "more then" "less then", you are in fact comparing, my friends

Peanut compared the "noteworthiness" between Crysis 2 and Homefront. Go up a few inches and read the quote, if you don't believe me.
I'm sorry, but when it comes to the campaign, Putting Crysis 2 and Homefront on the same level (of any kind), is ridiculous....


And do you really think we are in dire need of a new console generation, just because you played this on your expensive computer, and it looked better? I'm sorry, but this doesn't mean that the current generation's graphics are lacking. New consoles are not necessary at all(imo). I love graphics as much as the next guy, but if God of War 3, Uncharted 2, and Crysis 2 (on 360) aren't enough to tide you over for now, you are embarrassingly hard to please, and are probably better off sticking to PC games.

Cheers!

I am still tryingt o get this last achievement in GOW2 and then I am going to play the Gow 3 Beta in April and May. I have also been playing TMNT reshelled recently trying to get the last achievement in that game as well with TURO602. We almost had it too until, the SOB game glitched us and caused us to lose most of our health on the last level.

Ugh, tell me about it. I didn't even think that game had any glitches that freaken bad.

I started and passed 007 Quantum of Solace some time ago, just going through it one more time on Agent and collecting all the Cell Phones and Weapons. My brother and I have also passed Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles on Gamecube with all of TMNT and unlocked Gemby and fought Oroku Saki. Now we have started up Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2 Battle Nexus. I have also been playing Sonic the Hedgehog 4 Episode 1 and I'm really enjoying it.

[Turo602]

I'm waiting on my 3DS and Super Street Fighter IV 3D to arrive and I also got me Sonic the Hedgehog 4 Episode 1.

[IamtheNorm]

I just got 1000 gamerscore for Spider-Man Shattered Dimensions

Now it's time to move on to a different game, not sure which one though so many to chose from

AquaParade, you're actually making yourself look like MORE of an idiot. If you don't understand what I'm saying to this insane degree, you know sh*t all about games and probably shouldn't try and discuss them on any level aside from "I like dis game! It's gud!".

There's a reason I told you to drop it and that's because it's entirely pointless to argue with someone who misses the point entirely, so you need to STOP.

Peanut, if you can't hold a debate with someone who shares different views then yourself, I can't help but wonder what you are doing on a message board. No way I will stop discussing video game related topics in a video-game related thread. It's apparent that my points flew way too far over your head, for you to do anything but get angry and type insults. I need a more adult forum :/

Anyways, in between Crysis 2's awesome campaign (Seriously, can anyone name a better fps campaign since Bioshock?) , I decided to revisit my latest save file in Metal Gear Solid 4, which is Chapter 5. The first part of it, which involves sneaking around on the ship, is pretty damn fun. I still wish this game had more gameplay segments ala Metal gear Solid 3, though.

[Ninjinister]

Final Fantasy 1 for PSP. Sure I've already got it on NES, PS1, and Wonderswan Color, but it was only a 10-spot.

[Powder]

Yoshi's Island DS should be here very soon. I bought Pokemon Snap on the Wii Virtual Console last week, too.

HELL YEAH!!! You can thank me later for that achievement dude. All it took was some channeled anger and me being the one and only Leonardo that you hogged for so long. Told you I was better with him. I got you beat by over 3000 points. I'm just really F*CKEN EXCITED that we finally got that annoying survival achievement. It's funny that we tried to get more people for help but they would of just made it worse. Man dude we kicked shell!

And also, I need to get you hooked on Halo again. From now on you'll be on a Gears diet. You did good on the battlefield yesterday, but not good enough. We should kick more ass in Reach sometime.

Oh, and I'm really looking forward to the next 5 years dude. Getting a perfect 200 on the TMNT Arcade Game is going to be, no, problem, right?

You're mentally unbalanced if you think there was anything about your nonsense I didn't understand. I'm ALWAYS up for debate, but only with someone who knows the the hell they're talking about.

....* Deep breath*



Anyways, I went out and picked up Arkham Asylum game of the year edition. Has anyone tried the 3d glasses? I expect it to be gimmicky, but if it even remotely enhances the experience, I'll probably use them.

I heard that it takes away from the experience because you can't really enjoy the colors of the game. But then again, even with the game itself because of being in the damn detective mode for too long. Great game either way, hope Arkham City fixes this. Other then that, really great game.

Nice definition usage, you know damn well what I meant. He wasn't comparing the game side by side looking at similarities or differences. He was only saying it might just be as ****** as Home Front. But yes I made a mistake. If you want to resort to making yourself look like a d1ck, go ahead.

He wasn't "comparing the game side by side looking at similarities or differences"?

Then what IS comparing? Crysis 2 and Homefront were said to be similar, in one way or another. I felt they had absolutely nothing in common, so I disagreed. It's all really simple. Anyways, if anyone wants to reply to this post, please let it be about Crysis 2.

[Turo602]

Well I just downloaded X-Men the arcade game for 200 MS points.
