Frawlz really did sound bored. Poor guy. :P

Good show again.. but Frawlz.. you're wrong about inFamous. Its amazing.

And yeah, Twin snakes was a remake of MGS1.

Frawlz really did sound bored. Poor guy. :P

I wouldn't say that I was bored... We are recording later in the night due to various reasons. This one just took a toll on me. Hell I couldn't get a complete thought out that made sense. We are back in two weeks and it will be bad ass..

YAY shoutout! :thumbsup:

Pretty good episode, like always. Frawlz seemed a bit more tired and negative than usual but he was still funny. LOL Infamous is Grand Theft Auto mixed with Gears of War! :lol:

Awe poor Frawlz, he was not a happy bunny that night was he? I mean he's wrong about inFAMOUS but that's obvious, so no need to dwell on that.

Although the funniest line of the show was when Frawlz asked Rothbart "If you could climb rooftops in Grand Theft Auto would you call it a platformer?" and Rothbart replied "Oh you mean if it were a platformer would I call it a platformer?" I thought that was funny as hell.

Anyway great show guys... again :grin:

inFamous is a 3rd person shooter!

*awaits an essay-style post from Rothbart to prove me wrong :D*

inFamous is a 3rd person shooter!

*awaits an essay-style post from Rothbart to prove me wrong :D*

I agree.

But I do have to say that games are blurring the line one what game fits where.

Kill Zone has multiple levels and platforms. Does that make it a platformer?

Good show again.. but Frawlz.. you're wrong about inFamous. Its amazing.

It's not a bad game... I just expected to be blown away since it was an exclusive. I was really let down. Please remember, I have only played the demo. I am sure the polished version looks better. :huh:

Come on that's just a ridiculous argument, KZ2 is nothing like a platformer, it's 100% FPS.

inFAMOUS however I agree I cannot decide between platformer and 3rd person shooter, as it's main genre, it's pretty half and half.

Oh and btw, IT'S BRILLIANT!!!

I've just got to the third and last island on inFamous.. the game is amazing.

The story development, the voice acting, the character development, the pacing, the combat, the gameplay, the bosses - everything is really good. I expected it to be good, but not this good, really impressed with how the story has been done so far.

Honestly, even though i thought the inFamous demo was really good - that is nothing compared to what is in the full game.

And Frawlz, there is no platforming in killzone :|

I wouldn't call inFamous a platformer since there is much more to it than that, but i wouldn't call it a 3rd person shooter either.

Or.. i could call it a 3rd person platforming sandbox game?!

Frawlz, when they say don't take the brown acid, they mean it.

BTW rothbart, you are right, it is more of a platformer

Oooh I got a shoutout! No TWO...I'm so cool.

leave Frawls alone!!, nah keep bashing him wth Infamous GTA and Gears lol, btw good show guys i love it, keep up the good work

hey pacman did you play the rock band unplugged demo yet all hope for it might not be lost

Whats wrong with yu people! Ive played the infamous demo and it sure is a combo of gears of war and monopoly or whatever frawlz said!

Great show guys i listen every sunday while im at work when i should be actually working. And i always get caught laughing my ass off.

Infamous = GTA and Gears lol .. that was brilliant ... but i dont think is a platformer ...

great work guys i listen you every week on the way to work (long way every day).

Would a game where you run around, shoot, climb, jump etc be considered a sandbox or open world? Maybe InFamous is a bit linear for that...
Maybe a new gaming type should be coined ... where genres are spanned ... I suggest "Genre Spanner" or "Spanner" however - urban dictionary def of Spanner (http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=spanner)is perhaps a source of confusion and abuse

Come on that's just a ridiculous argument, KZ2 is nothing like a platformer, it's 100% FPS.

inFAMOUS however I agree I cannot decide between platformer and 3rd person shooter, as it's main genre, it's pretty half and half.

So are you guys going to call R&CF a third person shooter? I mean arguably you can shoot just as much as inFAMOUS.

I'm not saying inFAMOUS is only a platformer, but if someone were to call inFAMOUS a platformer, I wouldn't argue with them. It very much has a platforming element. Killzone 2 doesn't Frawlz. You're being way too polar. Uncharted isn't a platformer either, but it does have a strong climbing aspect. At the end of the day I'd call it a third person shooter/brawler depending on your play style.

Honestly, even though i thought the inFamous demo was really good - that is nothing compared to what is in the full game.

Expect that comment to be wasted on Frawlz. He doesn't play games (and if he does, he doesn't finish them!) BOOYA! Oh yeah, I went there!

He judged the entirety of MGS4 on part of Act 1 for God's sake! :lol:

Actually I quite possibly would call R&CF a 3rd person shooter, as much or more than inFAMOUS. I think if the nondescript 'action adventure' isn't a genre then these games can't really be given just 1 genre. Both of these games have heavy 3rd person shooter components, I mean you can't forget the importance of the wide variety of weapons available in the R&C series.

I would be interested to hear what you would call a game like God of War.
