He says he played it on the soundtrack for Assassins Creed.

What's the Parappa reference? Is it the thing that moves out of view from behind the dogs just as the soldiers enter?
>> ^Shepppard:
So, this video makes reference to:
CoD (or, generic WWII shooters), Twisted Metal, Parappa the Rappa, Little Big Planet, Ratchet and Clank, Final Fantasy, Killzone, Uncharted, God of War, Portal, Infamous, Tekken, MLB/NFL generic games, Metal Gear, Modern Warfare 3, Dead Space, Bioshock, Hitman, Resistance and Assassins Creed.
Not sure if the bartender is supposed to be from somewhere, though.



Nope, that's the Mk.II or III, whichever is in MGS4, the parappa is on the wall behind the chick in the booth, it's just a crappy little drawing, but it's a dog in a red hat with a purple shirt.

Pause at 31 seconds, just before it switches back to the two soldiers, he's on the right side.

I just discover this because of Assassin Creed Revelation... Sad to have missed this musical gem!

This actually causes the trailer to lose a lot of its magic to me.

I loved his trailers for Assassins creed and a couple others, but this one really doesn't do the game any justice. Unfortunate, really.

I agree with DRM "punishing your customers". The only DRM I can tolerate is what Steam uses to encrypt files. And that's because Steam is more convenient than physical media and constantly-patching all your PC games.

Disagree with his notion of "always on" network connection solving the DRM problem. Ubisoft does this with their newer titles, and I don't like it. Even for single player games, like Assassins Creed 2, you have to be constantly connected. You lose your connection, game pauses or doesn't start. Ubi's servers went down too - no one could play AC2 for 6 hours the day after it was released. They claim it was a DOS attack, but likely it was unexpected demand. Oh, can't confirm it, but that DRM was already patched out and there are pirated versions of UBI games out there already. I won't purchase any new UBI game which uses this Always-On-DRM.

The reward system is up to the reseller, not up to the publisher. Truth is that resellers don't make much profit from selling new games. That is why Gamestop is always pushing their used titles (and have rewards program for it) - the profit margin is astoundingly higher. Although the publisher can offer some rebates, like if you own the prior title, you get a discount on the sequel. These are few and far between though.

I bought a PS3 to put linux on it. But that was when it first came out, and there aren't many games on it, so no compelling reason to own it. I only put linux on it to try out Cell programming. Honestly YDL was slooooowwwww on the PS3. Other than Cell programming, there's no compelling reason to put linux on a PS3. Sony was selling the PS3 at a loss, and could do so because of future profits from selling games. I'm not sure if the newer Slim models are profitable or not, but I understand them removing support for it. (my conspiracy theory is that IBM also twisted their arm, since a Cell-BE blade or workstation is $8000+). Now, I use my PS3 for games occasionally, but mostly for blu-ray. I don't feel ripped off. The PS3 still does quite a lot, just not Everything.

Disagree with "shuts off servers for favorite game" argument too. If they want to stop running "official servers" fine - but they should just release open-source version of a dedicated server for anyone who wants to run their own server, after they stopped caring about their old titles. id software consistently released the source for their entire games, not just the server.

I don't think I've ever heard of someone justifying piracy because there was no demo available...Did anyone pirate a game just to try it, then like it and buy the full version? I've heard of people buying the game, hating the DRM, then getting the crack for it so they could actually play what they paid for.

He left out high school and college students (bulk of game pirates) in the "I'm too poor" argument. They all got the consoles or PC's as presents from their parents, and can't budget $60/month for games because they aren't working. And if the parents are already paying for their housing and food, they don't want to buy their kids new games every month, so those kids do what's easy - pirate games.

In all though, I do agree with him - that you should pay for games because developers worked hard on them.

Also if you see a title that is older and discounted, and a new copy is $19.99 and the used one is $17.99 - please buy the new one, cause the developers get $0.00 from used game sales.

He sound like a murloc...

And he's right.

Edit: except for Assassins Creed which I am a mega fan of

Ehh.. I find myself again disagreeing with the "Review" this week on some points.

Assassins Creed 2 looks pretty damn good to me, Supposed to be bigger then the first game, new executions, able to assassinate two people at once now and Leo Da Vinci inventing things for you.

Saboteur wasn't mentioned, but it wasn't exactly unveiled at this E3, GTA style game based in france during WWII, able to climb buildings, and the art style seems interesting to me.

Mass Effect 2 in production, using the data from your first game to bring the second game to life, if you killed certain characters off in the first they won't appear in the second, new weapons, ect.

I've been playing the Uncharted 2 multiplayer beta, and nobody talks..character wise anyway, and the gameplay is pretty good.

His Beatles rock band point is that it's just a stupid name..

Final Fantasy XIV has next to no info on it yet, except that it's going to be online, So I don't understand why he's critiquing it already, other then the fact that the generally hates Mmorpgs. (Side note, I'm excited to see what they're going to be doing, it's FF11's spiritual predecessor, and FF11 was fantastic until WoW came out and showed that the slow paced combat was outdated.)

Halo Reach seems like it could be very interesting, because it's potentially the first time that you DON'T play as a lone spartan if the game is going to be based off the books, and the planet itself is supposed to be mostly open fields and forest.. again if it's based off the books.

And ODST seems like it'll be great, you're not on a linear storyline and you're able to explore all of New Mombasa, they've pushed the halo 3 engine more then they knew they could and have fantastic looking results, not to mention new features since you're no longer a super-soldier, so you don't have a feeling of complete comfort when you're going through the game because they've essentially reverted back to the halo 1 system of minor "Shields" (Basically called Stamina in ODST) after which your health takes damage.

I dunno, to me this years E3 was actually pretty good, it's talking about titles that don't seem like they're bound to fail from the get-go (lookin at you, Destroy All Humans 3 & Damnation)

>> ^NicoleBee:
I watched my brother play this game and my biggest gripe was his voice. He's a bike courier. Why does every modern male game lead have to have the stupid gravelly Wolverine/duke/halo voice?


Sounds more "Wannabe Solid Snake" to me. It's a good game, I actually started off hating it. I couldn't stand his voice, the fact that you could climb EVERY building actually got to me, because most of the time you're climbing something that you know wouldn't be there in real life (Generally places don't have exterior pipes), and you can basically make it up anywhere no matter what by spamming X and hoping for the best.

It's a good enough system, but I dislike it, I prefer Assassins creed more. My other gripe is that I got insanely lucky with the first "Mission" of saving the food and it immidiately set me to Hard difficulty and the game then proceeded to kick my ass.

The Reapers have what look to be AK-47's, but have a 99.9% accuracy rating, essentially meaning if you poke your head out to zap someone and there's more then 3 of them there, you're either dead or graying out.

However, with more power unlocks and a tad more understanding of the game it does get more fun, it's just a shame that it took me 3+ hours to reach that point.

On my must have list after E3 are Crackdown 2, Alan Wake, Brutal Legend and Splinter Cell: Conviction.

Mass Effect 2 and Forza 3 also look pretty good but I'm not exited at all by Assassins Creed 2 and Modern Warfare 2, they look like they're just more of the same.



>> ^Fjnbk:
I'm most excited about God of War 3, if nothing else, because you can rip off the sun god's head and use it as a flashlight.

Don't you mean headlight?

original assassins creed + flying?

the cities better not be just a clump of shitty mini-games again.

>> ^swampgirl:
I just bought this game for my husband's b-day this weekend. Looks like assassin is shopping at the flea market.


So he'll stop acting in these videos?

>> ^mas8705:
Why is it that everything this guy does ends with him getting arrested (or close to it)?


I dunno, must be that "Creed" thing and a lack of freedom of religion.
