Microsoft reverses stance on 24-hour check-in, used games for Xbox One [update]
Weekend Confirmed 91 - Metal Gear Rising, Last of Us, Syndicate
by Garnett Lee, Dec 16, 2011 11:00am PSTThe flurry of new game trailers unleashed during the VGAs last week leads the conversation on Weekend Confirmed this week. Shacknews' own New York-based editor Andrew Yoon joins Xav, Jeff, and Garnett to wade through them, starting with Metal Gear Rising, and moving on through Last of Us, Fortnite, and Mass Effect 3. Andrew recently attended a Sony event back in New York and shares impressions from playing Syndicate, Journey, and Lumines. Listener Shadow13th called out Jeff for using saves to control his fate in role playing games and the group picks up the subject of the min/max approach to gaming and how it exposes the mechanics potentially to the detriment of immersion. There's still more too, with a quick look at November's NPD sales numbers, Trine 2, and Finishing Moves.

Off work for Xmas, and I'm up late after partying with friends. Didn't feel like sleeping yet, so I figured 'maybe I'll try MW3 multiplayer again, see if I was wrong about it'.
10 minutes later:
"I've made a terrible mistake."
And this is with the leniency that an inebriated state brings to any entertainment source.
Yuck.

You should play *shudder* the new Drop Zone mode. I tried it out the other day, and I remembered your comments from when this game first released about how crazy stupid the multiplayer was, and chuckled to myself thinking how you'd react to it. XD
On the topic of doing dumb things in multiplayer games, I just recently discovered the awesomeness of using the MAV in Battlefield 3, riding it up to super high sniper spots you couldn't reach otherwise. Some maps have low ceilings that don't allow for it, but usually only the infantry based ones. :D
