Disastrous marketing? I was under the impression that the response the game got had nothing to do with any marketing.

The new look looks like a girl in a Discovery survival show with mud smeared on her face. Lacks the pain and struggle I guess, you could say it made me not want to protect her
That too, like a sex doll.
I assume that refers to the giant table outlining various editions and retailer specific content.
Shadow Warrior, Transistor, Abyss Odyssey
Why would they do that? She looks, eyes aside, much better in the pc shot.
That's not a marketing issue, that's a slicing your game up into tiny little chunks issue.

Farming Simulator 15 got revealed, yo!
Have a good and relaxing vacation.
How does that work? Pairs get chosen in a raffle and gift each other?
So they could justify the 'definitive edition.'

So, what's the hubbub, bub?
Well, now I want to protect Lara
, so I guess their strategy is working.
I have an odd curiosity about Tomb Raider 2013, but I'm afraid that I will utterly despise how the game is designed. This is because, to me, TR2k13 seems like one of those games designed to be reviewer catnip, at the expense of everything else.
...Oh.I google her new look because of your comment.
I wouldn't call her "retarded", but yeah, definitive edition is a downgrade.

Maybe they'll also moe up Wei Shen.
Ys Origin question: What level is recommended for the sand level boss on hard? The boss has adds the will heal it if you don't dps them down fast enough and I can't seem to do it at lvl 28. My gear is all upgraded but I can't even get the boss to 50% before the healing starts outpacing my damage.
TR2013 is a good and fun Unchartedised game.
It's not classic Tomb Raider, but it's still worth playing.
I don't remember specifically, but I remember each exp level in Origin being very significant. More than once I would struggle on a boss, come back only 1 level higher, and have a lot more success (also due to practice and such).
Got past the first Act in RAGE. It feels just like I'm being strung along, but it finally seems like it's opened up a bit. I don't care for the racing at all, though, not going to touch that unless the game requires it. I found myself thinking that I would rather just play a new Fallout, then found a vault-boy bobblehead item, lol. And even though I came in expecting the texture pop since I had previously played TNO, it's so much worse in this. Pc game wiki hooked me up with a decent fix, though. Annoying anecdote: I went off the beaten path early in the game and found a body of a character named "Juno." Couldn't do anything about it. Later I'm asked to go find him and all I could do was just retread to the same place again. Little irritating, now I'm not sure how laterally I want to approach the game if it's going to do stuff like that if I try to explore around.
The sky in the game is very pretty.

I think the T-Bone campaign will be out in October
The main reason that I loved it was that I came in expecting a standard Ubi-fare, which was what I exactly got. The story was fine imo, even though it dragged at some parts and felt rushed at others, I like how Ubisoft takes real world events, twists them up and shapes them into major plot points for their games (the 2003 blackout in the case of Watch Dogs). The hacking was pretty basic, definitely a feature that I'd like to see them expand upon in future entries. The shooting was great, probably the best I've seen in a game of the genre
The downgrade fiasco and Ubi's overhyping coupled with the technical problems that the game had at launch despite Ubisoft's promises didn't sit well with many people. It sold very good ( expected for a Ubi game) and was well received by critics but a large portion of the gaming crowd hated it for the above reasons.

MS dodging RotTR's exclusive question and the indie announcements at Gamescom showed how desperate they are.
Sad really.
Notice me senpai!
Sad really.

Yep, using Secret Santa Generator, you would have until the end of the sale to give your partner a game
I noticed that too with random mobs but from a FAQ I read, the recommended level is 32 and that seems like a rather huge spike. Just wondering how much grinding is involved and if it's worth continuing.

Maybe Fish is just a bit feisty since Senpai hasn't noticed him.

Bonus that I saw in the Fez thread:
Hmm...
Does it count if my anime avatar is male and not cute?
It's Phil Fish being Phil Fish lol. He knows people read his tweets and get all mad and serious about it so he tends to do alot of troll things like the whole Fez 2 bullshit that's being going on for a while and tons of other comments. This kinda stuff shouldn't be new for those who have ever seen a Phil Fish tweet.
Wil is so kawaii though lol
He's said that he sees a correlation with the people tweeting excuses for or embracing racist/sexist stuff largely having anime avatars. That's the context you don't get when only one or two tweets from long discussions (or in some cases tirades) get posted and twitter comments seemingly make no sense.

Ditto.
Sometimes he comes out super harsh, but he's actually a true, old school, perfect troll, and I can't avoid respecting him with all my heart.
also, I may be the only one ever who likes him and hates his game

you're not the only one
Because just about everything else about the game rocks.
I wish Platinum would have had more than a year to work on the game, but I'm really enjoying it and hoping there's a direct sequel (like, starting right from the post-credit scene).

Lock on helps, a bit.
It sucks, but it was only a major issue when I played a bit on Revengeance where a Mastiff hitting you from off screen can be deadly.
Also PvZ:GW is having a 3 day trial on Origin for those that are interested. It's like the ones they did for Titanfall and BF4, the time only counts down from when you launch it.

I don't normally notice bad cameras in games because it usually means people are unwilling to control it themselves, but yeah Rising's was really its own beast.
It's tolerable because the game is awesome despite that.
It's a steamgaf thing. Used to be derrick, now it's fish.

I remember making that once in 5th class. I got an expensive toy and the other guy got a cheap chocolate bar. To my defense, I didn't know what I was even doing.
How was it last year? Sounds fun tbh. Sharing is caring, giving is fulfilling etc.

Lol at Fish regarding anime avatars. He gotta be trolling. Not all with them even watch anime. No sense at all. It's just a method, a blank slate. You can have moe crap alongside mature and sophisticated stories.
