Diablo 3 will suck. Torchlight 2 will suck. Borderlands 2 will come out in something like 2013. Can you think of any other action RPG to play until then(that isn't on the fucking iPad or iPhone or whatever)?

I disagree on Torchlight 2, plus Grim Dawn might come out before the millenium is over. But anyway, I was just trying to figure out where all the weaboo shit was coming from in a thread about a game that looks like a click-and-slash. I haven't actually watched anyone playing it yet, but if it's similar to Deathspank or something I'll play the hell out of it.

We're mostly throwing out canned Koki responses here.

I'm personally pretty excited about the game.

In that case, shouldn't you be talking about how awful and boring it is after watching a youtube video of someone playing badly?

Imma waiting for the PC review to pop-up to get this sucker :D:D:D

Because I refuse to watch some bugeyed console fuckoid play a stupid fucking console game. I'm gonna wait for the PC version to come out, then watch one of those action game spergers play it.

In my case it's mostly due to pricing differences.

I absolutely adored Bastion and it's currently tied with Atom Zombie Smasher for "best game so far this year." I did a pseudo-review (http://www.augmented-vision.net/?p=148) here, though I'll warn that that has some minor spoilers (no specifics, but narrative flavor etc.)

For a less "humanist" breakdown, it has amazing artwork, the best soundtrack I've heard in years, and an enjoyable variety of weapons. The narrative experimentation is just icing on the cake.

And yeah, Koki, you'd hate it. Save yourself (and us) the trouble and avoid it.

Edit: An no, narrator isn't the dude from MGS4 - he's been in almost nothing. (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm3079634/).

This got a rare positive outlook from Yahtzee:

That's the less "humanist" breakdown? Good thing I didn't click your review link.

Why would that be?

Because your posts indicate that you only value video games as mathematical systems, and while Bastion is mechanically solid it is all its aforementioned aspects that bring it to greatness.
