batman dark knight - ocarina of time

I still don't see why people put TDK in such high regard. That movie was incredibly overrated.

OT: Not even seen Citizen Kain o_O but I'm guessing its something of a revelation in film making, or something.


because it isnt just a batman movie with a bad ass joker...its actually the most philosophical movie I have ever seen and ive seen a lot. simply put theres no other movie like TDK just like theres no other game like OOT.

Because 'people' don't watch very many good movies and when they see The Dark Knight it blows them the fuck away. 

OT: Shit like this makes it hard to take reviews seriously anymore, and now every little mistake The Last Of Us makes is going to get a "lol citizenkane" as people line up to nitpick. 

True.

Btw, the review originated from an article (which was taken down) by Empire magazine. They're a UK based company who writes film reviews, so take their game reviews with a pinch of salt. They are, in a way, like "Edge" of the film reviewer world. Pretentious and criticise for the sake of criticising.

There is no Citizen Kane of gaming. Just like there is no War & Peace of movies.

Finding the game that is gaming's Citizen Kane is the gaming media's Vietnam.


What's this about seemingly unwinnable and ill-advised wars?

Pffft... the war was won and laying waste to commies is always a good thing.

OT: Its Uncharted with zombies. I look forward to it, but I'm not expecting anything groundbreaking.

I hear this a lot and honestly.. I really don't like Nolans interpretation of "The Joker" nor do I like the direction he's taken the film/s in. If I wanted to watch a crime thriller like Heat, I'd watch that.. not some hyper-realistic version of Batman. And to your last point, you could say that about plenty of other films.

No.

Most of the innovative games were made in the 70s, 80s and 90s.

"short but sweet" is exactly how i'd describe it. I really want to play more :/

Is it what they showed at E3?  I'm not playing or watching any media after that because I was sold (hell it's ND I was sold when they announced the game) because I want to look on it with virgin eyes


No it was a different segment. I don't wanna say where or when/who you are with in the demo so i'll just say it deals with clickers in this segment, not human enemies.

ah glad I didn't play it.  God the 10th can't get here soon enough.  I'll be itching for next gen after those 3 hours on the 10th and LoU will swoop in to whet my appetite.  July and August are going to be torture though
