I was looking forward to both games but I was so disappointed with Brink, it was just so..broken! Bethesda hyped it up as if it would be the greatest thing ever, it was pants :/
And yeah, Rockstar's tech was great but the story was so disappointing, why do they find the need to kill off a main character in every game they make?


Damn it. That's my play-thru fucked then.

Just for future refrence, top right of the text box click the button marked SPOILER

Cheers.


GAH! I'm sorry!
I'm new, my bad.

I personally wasn't dissapointed by LA Noire as is evident in my review, but there were a few plot points that soured the experience for me. I agree completely with Brink, it was a steaming pile of shit that badly disguised a crippled and poorly-implemented simgle player mode with bots and cutscenes. The 3DS was a no-go for me from the start; after buying a Wii a few years ago and realising quite quickly that it's essentially and expensive toy for children and the elderly with a mediocre library of old Ninty rehashes and pathetic sports and fitness titles I pretty much gave up hope of the corporate legend ever making anything with a mind to appeal to people who actually like games.

Some interesting choices but none I really dissagree with except LA Noire. DA2 was a great game but I too was dumbstruck by the restrictions and the meandering plot, especially after loving practically everything else in the Bioware back catalogue including Origins.

Don't worry too much about it. I'm sure Paddy would prefer a new active member at the expense of an accidental reveal of an obvious plot twist! :lol:

Welcome to the site, and I hope you enjoy! :D
