Welcome to the Next Level, a.k.a. The Video Game Thread Options

Some of them are really hard, like during the bike chase and stuff.

Yeah I remember trying to get them years ago. I'll do it in a few months I think. A bit burnt out on MGS after playing both back to back. Looking forward to getting back into Gravity Rush and Disgaea 3. I'm still a bit sad that things like the Ape escape and vampire nightmare mini games didn't make it to the HD versions. They were good fun.

I'd forgotten how many fart and poo jokes are in Act I of MGS4.

Good old Hideo.

LEGO Batman is very fun. There's just a little more to it than the previous games, and I like how every level ends with a boss fight against one of the Rogue's Gallery.

I seriously cannot wait to get my hands on LEGO Batman 2: DC Superheros, because it just looks incredible. I promised myself I need to 100% Batman and Star Wars before I get another LEGO game, though. Star Wars is nearly done, I just need to do some of those blue capsule challenges, and the super stories.

I loved the demo to Lego Batman 2, shame the Vita version is just a 3DS port or I'd probably get it :/

Get in on PS3, then Nate can join in.

EDIT: Kojima just tweeted this photo:


I wants it.

Getting him involved with the PS3 now just feels wrong. Maybe when he's a bit older.
I have let him play Sonic for a little while before. And journey...

[GundamGuy_UK]

He's three now, isn't he? I've got a friend our age with a son who's five, so I think I might have gotten them confused. Three might be a little too young... but he'll be just right when the PS4 comes out

JET SET RADIO

PS+ users can get it for free on September 18th, and then it's available on PS3, 360, and Steam on the 19th. Vita on October 16th.

I've only played a tiny bit of it before so getting it for free is awesome

And yeah, Nates only 3

It's one of those games like Daytona USA where the soundtrack is 80% of the reason why I like it.

This will never in a million years ever happen, but I had this idea earlier...


A cross-series video game year. Like the comic arcs that span all the series, like Crisis and No Man's Land and so on, but with a game company.

So as an example, with Capcom. They could release a Megaman, Resident Evil, Street Fighter or whatever game each month, and they could all fight the same enemy. So imagine playing a Resident Evil game, and you're fighting this weird new enemy. And then Dante from Devil May Cry shows up, and you fight him and then your character realizes that you're both on the same side, and you team up for a level or two and then Dante leaves.

And then you play a Devil May Cry game, and it has what he was doing that led up to meeting the Resident Evil characters, and now you're fighting them and you team up with them, and then you go on your own again and finish your own story.

So the individual games would be self-contained but have a couple of cameos and hints at a larger story, and then there would be a final game at the end that would have all of them in and be the big end battle. Perhaps that game would work like Sonic Adventure, where you select a character at the start and play the same events from their point-of-view. Or maybe it would read your hard drive and see what you did in the previous titles and be a different story depending on your actions.

So, who's looking forward to Dishonored? I'm thinking it's looking rather bloody tasty.

Meanwhile, thanks to a timely birthday present, I've got Dirt Showdown to have a crack at now. HOON!

[Silky]

So, who's looking forward to Dishonered? I'm thinking it's looking rather bloody tasty.

I wasn't at first, but the more I hear, the more I want.

Yup, looks like a great game.
