Why is the first boss of Borderlands the Pre-Sequel able to kill me in five seconds while soaking all of my bullets up?

Nonsense. The only way to truly play Metro is with only one filter and that one is in your mask.

Or use the take off mask/quickly put it back on trick. That usually works for me.

I fucking love it. 'Course, since it's Redux a lot of the things are similar to Last Light, but I chose the option where it makes the watch the classic windup from 2033 and not the digital from Last Light.

You mean the Alien thing-your not meant to kill that.

Playing Metroid Fusion on a GBA emulator on my phone. Surprisingly good. Not sure how I missed it back when I actually had/played a GBA.

Ah, Metroid Fusion.

It was one of the first and best games that I ever played on my GBA.

Although I would imagine it could be quite cumbersome sometimes to play it on a phone, considering the L and R buttons are required.

Five minutes of leaked The Division gameplay footage on PC.

This literally is nothing that couldn't have been achieved in 2011. Another over-hyped and downgraded cover shooter. It's like every game made these days is intentionally designed to be disappointing.

Are these 5 minutes representative of the entire game? If the answer is no then I think your conclusion is a premature. If the answer is yes I think "disappointing" is a kind term for a game that can be entirely represented in 5 minutes.

Im mostly annoyed by the ridiculous amount of bullets it takes to kill someone, too much bullet sponge enemies and it reminds me of Destiny from all the footage ive seen, so im even more convinced not to buy it.

And yet in five minutes, we are able to ascertain the:

    User Interface (On screen HUD and inventory)
    Combat
    Underlying gameplay mechanics (health, damage, and so forth)
    Movement
    Graphics quality
    Art style
    One form of the structure of the game (i.e that fortress assault.)

Granted, the representative footage may still change with the final game, yet that shouldn't stop us from criticizing, extrapolating, and interpreting things. Note that I'm not solely basing my opinion on what is represented in the video, but of all the other news and previews that I have seen thus far.

I was never interested in The Division in the first place. It doesn't seem anything special, except a generic third person shooter
