Well, no.

Some damn fine games weigh in at under 4 gigs of used disc space. Doesn't mean any less work has gone into it.

I would gladly spend more on the under 4gb Burnout Paradise than the stupidly boring and large FF13, for instance.

Nice.

G 09-01-2010 04:55 PM

Thinking of whether or not to buy the Overlord DLC. Read nothing but good reviews.

Fignuts 09-01-2010 06:21 PM

You should. It's worth it.

G 09-01-2010 06:33 PM

Okay, bought it. Will report back later.

G 09-01-2010 09:18 PM

Def worth the $7. Felt like an actual mission and not some tacked on crap like the Hammerhead missions. Recommend to everyone.

Telltale Games new Back to The Future game managed to get the rights to the original actors to voice their game characters and also secured rights for Marty McFly to look like his actor in the films. The game set to be released after the 25th Anniversary Trilogy DVD release.

Great Scott.

G 09-01-2010 10:12 PM

That's heavy

Xero 09-01-2010 10:28 PM

So they were building the game without Marty and the DeLorean?

If they didn't get the rights then it would have been a possibility similar to Minority Report game which didn't get permission from Tom Cruise or the current GoldenEye game for the Wii can't use Brosnan as Bond.

Kotaku has contacted GameStop for official comment and will update this story when they reply.

"GameStop has agreed out of respect for our past and present men and women in uniform we will not carry Medal of Honor in any of our AAFES based stores...," the email reads. "As such, GameStop agreed to have all marketing material pulled by noon today and to stop taking reservations. Customers who enter our AAFES stores and wish to reserve Medal of Honor can and should be directed to the nearest GameStop location off base.

"GameStop fully supports AAFES in this endeavor and is sensitive to the fact that in multiplayer mode one side will assume the role of Taliban fighter."

The stores on bases contacted by Kotaku all confirmed that they no longer will be selling the game and referred us to GameStops in town to pick up the title when it comes out.

Electronic Arts declined to comment further for this story, saying they've made their opinion on the matter clear already.

This shit is getting stupid.

BigDaddyCool 09-02-2010 02:39 PM

Why is that stupid? How is respecting the military stupid?

#BROKEN Hasney 09-02-2010 02:42 PM

Meh, EA knew this is the reaction they'd get and are hoping it will help sales. The marketing guys are probably masturbating over the 'mindshare' they've gotten.

Xero 09-02-2010 02:45 PM

You'd think they'd be upset over the concept in the first place. It's a series that encourages bloodshed. Doesn't matter who you're playing as. It really is just stupid.

Kalyx triaD 09-02-2010 02:47 PM

How many times were 'bad guy' skins used before, though? Soccer mom, pussy shit.

Six Days all over again.

BigDaddyCool 09-02-2010 02:48 PM

It's just a video game you guys.

Xero 09-02-2010 02:52 PM

That's exactly the point...

BigDaddyCool 09-02-2010 02:53 PM

Yeah, but you aren't seeing my point.

Xero 09-02-2010 02:55 PM

I do see your point. My point is that the entire concept of the games is disrespectful to the military. It glorifies war.

I'm not against the games, I'm just not seeing the logic in banning it when the other games get through.

BigDaddyCool 09-02-2010 02:56 PM

You still aren't seeing my point.

Xero 09-02-2010 02:58 PM

What's your point? That you don't have one and are arguing for the sake of arguing?

Kalyx triaD 09-02-2010 03:01 PM

Xero meet BDC.

BigDaddyCool 09-02-2010 03:01 PM

That's right. My point is Kalyx is a dork and you are a fat nerd.

Kalyx triaD 09-02-2010 03:04 PM

Loving this Ignore thing.

BigDaddyCool 09-02-2010 03:06 PM

Except when it makes you look like an ass because you repeat the news someone else already posted. I am referring of course to the Monday Night Combat thread.

BigDaddyCool 09-02-2010 03:09 PM

Anyhow, back to my real point. I don't see what your problem is with game stops on military bases not selling certain games. It isn't like the game is completely unavailable. And if you are mad because it is a marketing ploy, we I guess you might as well bitch and moan about the entire marketing industry because they all pull that kind of shit all the time. But I ask that you don't because my friend works in marketing and it is her birthday.

Kalyx triaD 09-02-2010 03:51 PM

Gonna create impossible stages.

Fignuts 09-02-2010 04:15 PM

Yeah, classic megaman is always fucking awesome. Too bad we didn't get to see ryu in action though.

Also, marked out for the megas shout out at the end. Are they doing the whole soundtrack? Guys are my favorite videogame based band.

Xero 09-02-2010 04:25 PM

So is Mega Man Universe a Mega Man game with user-created content and levels?

Because if so, that's fucking huge.

Kalyx triaD 09-02-2010 04:32 PM

Yeah, that's the idea. And I think you can mix and match character parts.

Xero 09-02-2010 04:42 PM

Yeah, that's huge. I was just thinking about how Nintendo doesn't capitalize on this with the Mario series. The SMW level hacking community is huge, and they have one for NSMBWii. Maybe they'll finally jump on it.

But I'm more than happy with something like that for Mega Man.

BigDaddyCool 09-02-2010 04:47 PM

Hacking is gay, you fat nerds.

Xero 09-02-2010 04:50 PM

I'm gonna hack your Wii and make it say "BDC IS A HUGE GAY" in big pink and mauve letters.

BigDaddyCool 09-02-2010 05:07 PM

That will be lovely and I nice change of pace from it saying "EAT SHIT AND DIE, DICKHOLE" in big brown letters with a font that looks like it was drawn with shit.

Easter egg discovered in Wave Race: Blue Storm for the Gamecube where the announcer and pit crew voices start to ridicule you during a race. The turbo sound changes into a little girl saying "meow, meow" when used.

Quote:

* Go to Options and Audio Settings.
* There's a waveform display at the bottom that changes if you press the Z Button-tap Z until the waveform looks like vertically rising fog.
* On the D-Pad, press Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right, A, X, Z. You'll hear an audio cue if you did it right.
* Back out to the front end.
* Start a race. Pick the first guy.
* The pit crew voice will now be some dude who basically insults you the entire time. Also, the turbo becomes a little girl's voice saying "meow meow"
