Gamingbolt...? Eh... Guys, is it worth it? Or are all 10 of their choices on seperate pages like usual for them?

UnHoly_One4148d ago

Yup, 10 different pages. lol

vickers5004148d ago (Edited 4148d ago )

Here's what the image captions all say, just imagine some random screenshot of the game attached to them:

FC3- Has Cell phone with connection; doesn't call for help
Bo2- Russians Attacking With Helicopters and Tanks? We better attack straight on with horses
Borderlands2-Wants you to collect $9 from a guy; Rewards you with a gun worth $2000
Dishonored-Accused of Murder; Proves innocence by murdering everyone
ME3-Being chased by reapers? Just orbit a planet
AC3-Changes name so nobody knows he's native american; still wears native american clothes
RE6-Safest, most reliable way of killing zombies? Melee attack
Halo4-Discovers highly advanced ancient technology never before seen by mankind; instantly knows how to reload and fire
Diablo3: Repair Cost 27,000; quest reward 800
Hitman: Has barcode on main character; doesn't put it on box art to confuse checout clerks

Hopefully that saved some of you a few clicks

Thanks. I'd hate to support these clowns or whatculture for that matter.

crackforgangstas4147d ago

Thank you for that, they're scamming for site hits... this type of thing should be illegal, lol

ZombieNinjaPanda4147d ago

Cancer of the highest degree. There's awful, and then there's what this "article" just wrote.

BlindGuardian4148d ago

those are not memes, they're individual jokes, for joke to be a meme it needs to be recurring with small variations, not a one time thing like these

Rivitur4148d ago

Same thing I was thinking... I started reading and was thinking to myself why the hell would this be repeated over and over again in a game.

Mutant-Spud4147d ago

They're puns really or an attempt at ironic observational humour, memes are self replicating ideas or concepts, like slogans or buzz words. Memes are usually linguistic tools designed with a particular goal in mind, such as in advertising or political campaigning.

DeeZee4147d ago

Yeah, putting these lists on 10 pages is just a cheap way to get 10x pageviews for the article.

Separate pages far from hilarious

solar4148d ago

"changes name so no knows he's native american"

yikes.

PhantomT14124147d ago

Besides, I think it was more about having a name easier to say than hiding his identity...

Campy da Camper4147d ago

It's like a bunch of monkeys are sitting in a basement and trying to come up with ideas that will give them enough click revenue for another bag of Doritios and a 6 pack of Mountain Dew. Here, have some of mine for free...

Amnesia Dark Decent: Teeth chattering yet doesn't use pliers on table to rip them out.

Super Mario Brothers: Girlfriend keeps getting kidnapped yet doesn't call Liam Nielson.

Fatal Frame: Ghosts appear when taking pictures yet doesn't just buy a webcam to use remotely.

See, and all on one page!

The rumours on the new game sound awful

"A natural disaster strikes northern India revealing ancient emperor Ashoka's ruins and artifacts. Lara strategically races against a Society of Raiders and other rivals for these powerful relics. The Society of Raiders are inspired by Lara yet unaffiliated and might have some opposite agendas. This also relates to a new feature based on recruiting teams and allies to strategically aid you in missions and defeating rivals. There's emphasis on a new non-lethal combat option"

"Generic Ubigame" structure.
4 companions with their own habilities.
Open or semi-open world, not clear.
Lara would have a motorcycle, to make it easier for players to explore.
MMO elements.
5 villains, very stereotypical, including a rich man, a mob boss, and two brothers.
Familiar characters returning, Jonah Maiava and Kurtis Trent.
Lara will have a skill tree with spells.
The game is a mix of various trends and genres."

Like, do they even know what Tomb Raider is anymore. I hope it's all bullshit, not everything needs to be open world.

I really hope they do a remaster of The Last Revelation and Chronicles.

Half of this sounds like a promising TR game, the other half not so much.

Im just hoping for a TR game where Tomb Raiding is mandatory and not optional.

-Foxtrot15m ago

Considering you might end up riding around in one huge map, I feel the tombs will probably be optional and end up feeling samey with the one location

The appeal of the older TR games was going on a globe trotting adventure to new locations with smaller explorable maps which acted like a huge puzzle / obstacle course. You even had non Tomb focused levels like London or the Zoo (It's a Madhouse) which paced things out in between.

Holy cow that's some awful rumours

gold_drake42m ago(Edited 41m ago)

oh god. please dont.

lwts go bk to ... you know, tomb raiding. that would be amazing.

Embracer don't give a toss about this. Their CEO is a known flipper (something I've said here for years - feel free to look up my history to find it)

They purchased it for 300m, making a half-arsed game to fulfil a contract and then flipping it to Amazon for 600m

At least Gearbox ended up at T2. Lets hope Deus Ex finds a new home soon because these idiots are 10x worse than MS.

Sonic188135m ago(Edited 34m ago)

Every game doesn't have to be full open world. I'm also hearing that Resident Evil 9 will be open world as well. Semi open world would be better in certain area's I guess imo

Sony the savoir of gaming based on comments on n4g.

Kaii3h ago

I believe Sony wants to pump up those (monthly active users) stat for their next investor call.

I'd like for people not to support corps so blindly, they don't care about you.
