Wii U version will be the superior one if the second screen feature is implemented intelligently.

Since all versions are sub-HD and run at sub-par framerates, may as well ignore the tech comparisons entirely.

I'm with you brother,  i'm still looking forward to having a go on it...   having said that I do have terrible taste in games ....

Objection! Your avatar taste is superb.

Oh god damn it. WHERE DO YOU LIVE?!

I'll need a street address and work schedule so I can drop by one day.

Golden Axe is one of my favourite games. Played it during my 'formative' years in the hobby along with Speedball 2 and I will never tire of it. The music is permanently etched into my memory.

I might actually get this on WiiU because why the fuck not. It's not going to be doing anything else until Bayonetta drops.

Just looks really stilted and joyless to play, from the brief moments I've seen. I hate all that interruption crap.

What's the consensus on how this will do score wise? I'm guessing 7/8 across the board. Solid/unremarkable/contrived/GTA5 a more believable world.

I'm going for a 7 in Edge, and a 7 everywhere else and maybe a couple of 8's. I think in reality it'll be a very average GTA clone not even up there with the likes of Sleeping Dogs. The hacking gimmicks and rubbishy vehicle inclusion will mire it even more. In an era of a million Ass Creed/GTA wannabes this game doesn't appear to have anything going for it apart from the multiplayer which I haven't the slightest interest in. GTA5 was the biggest selling game of all time and who's still playing that online? On paper these sorts of games sound great online - go anywhere, get into strife with other people etc, but in reality, they're a bit of a vacuous experience.

Digital trips seem to be the saving grace.

Not even up they with the likes of Sleeping Dogs?

How fucking date you! Sleeping Dogs was great fun, this will be a steaming pile of shite. Edge [6], no-one will give it higher than a eight.

I figured after Sleepy Dogs that any game with Dogs in the title would be full of win.

This just seems to be a thinned down win these days.

There was a bit in Sleeping Dogs where I got honestly annoyed by the baddies and played a few hour session just to fuck their shit up.

GTAV is a hard act to follow. The fighting and driving were better in SD than GTAIV but the driving in  V was sweetness. It was full of 90s Hong Kong film references that I got a kick out of too.

Better fucking had be. Fighting wasn't up to Batman standards but it's been the best attempt to lift that fighting style so far imo.

Let's see how the driving competes in the new Batman.

Sleeping Dogs was awesome.

This is a [6] at the very best, if the reviewers are feeling charitable.  What a turd.
