2 and 3 are well worth your time if you have a copy or find them on sale on PSN.
Dude, you gotta play 2 and 3. They're so good.
I completely understand that as a college student now. But I will say that 2 and 3 really improved on 1. Even if you didn't like it, I think you'd enjoy 2 and 3.
Well every PS3 can play PS1 games so there's that. And the first three Crash games as well as CTR are all on PSN if you have a PS3 or PSP. For some reason it's not on Vita or PS4. Dicks.
You got to have quality beer to get you used to the stuff. Blue Moon and Guiness were both really tasty when I first started even if all the Lites tasted like horse piss. I'm more of a hard liquor guy still though, but I'll never turn down a beer. Unless I'm driving or it's Bud Lite.
I didn't like Ascension either. The camera angles were so horrible, I could never tell where Kratos was because the game wanted to be cinematic.
No, this new war actually isn't exciting. It actually looks to be the least exciting one ever. I would be anti Xbone if MS kept their policies, but with their backpedal, Xbone is basically PS4 with Kinect and a handful of different exclusives. For the rest of spring, it's just a matter of whether you want Forza and Titanfall or Infamous and Drive Club more.
Sony is not some savior and Microsoft is not some demon. Microsoft only tried putting in DRM and used game restrictions because they thought Sony would do the same while Sony only didn't do that because they saw the public reception and figured the costs outweighed the benefits if they tried what MS was doing. Corporations are not your friend. They are looking out for their own interests and wouldn't think twice about screwing you over if that benefitted them. Support them only if it suits your best interests, giving them loyalty only lets them take advantage of you.
I hadn't even heard of most of these, I'm guessing they weren't released in theaters though. My favorite animated superhero movies are The Incredibles and Batman: Mask of the Phantasm
If you really want to come back, I'd recommend not taking the approach you've done before. Your "brand of brilliance" in inciting console wars just is not going to be welcome here, even less than it was at 1up. People here don't care at all about which console sells best or act like because their caters to their own personal taste best, that it's objectively superior. We just want to talk about games, what we enjoy about them, criticize what we don't enjoy, and what we're excited about in the future. There's just no interest in console wars in this community.
And please humble yourself man. Don't say you have a "brand of brilliance," let your blogs speak for themselves. Don't end blogs with "The gamemaster has spoken," that's just douchey.
