"Cole MacGrath Mk. II, we hardly knew you"



According to Game Informer, the fan butthurt is what made them go back to the drawing board with Cole.....again. Despite them saying before they changed Cole because people didn't like him from the first game.

........lolwut.

BUT YOU KNOW WHAT, this makes me like SuckerPunch moar. I respect them more, I think, because so many studios now are like LOLW/E I DO WAT I WANT about everything. AND IDK, for some reason I had that feeling from suckerpunch too? maybe i'm still butthurt over things they told me but lolol yep BUT FFFFFFFF now they're a p cool dude.

I mean, first they dispelled that "LOL SP MADE ZEKE FOR US TO HATE" thing that "fans" kept trying to promote, but now they're like OH SHIT EVERYONE HATES NOTCOLE, LETS FIX IT AAAAAJKASJKAJSA.

I remember the early articles popping up about Cole2 and when the outcry started happening I started noticing little "But suckerpunch says this isn't final/etc" things added to the end of a lot of i2 things.

KINDA FUNNY, HUH?

Kind of reminds me of when I read this article about insomniac games taking Resistance 2 feedback to heart despite the game getting generally good reviews from critics. which has me more excited for Resistance 3, best game ever amirite?

Speaking of insomniac I sent them a twitter last night asking about the R3 release date that popped up on that retailer site. NEEDLESS TO SAY, THEY HAVE YET TO RESPOND.

I must say though, wtf insomniac. If that release date is right, WHY HAVEN'T YOU ANNOUNCED R3 YET? I DON'T EVEN.

also today I pre-ordered LBP2 on amazon.com ...the collector's edition one. i wanted the sackboy plush don't judge me and lol the funniest bit of all, is that I could have gotten FREE SHIPPINZ on it but i was like NO GDI I WANT IT THE DAY IT COMES OUT so i bought the $6 ~*~release date shipping~*~

and then i was like

hey i wonder how much that would have been if i got it at gamestop.

so i looked up california state tax, and well, more specifically orange county state tax...DID THE MATH ANDDDDDDDDDDDD wouldn't you know it it would have been $2 more if I would have bought it at the store.

Stupid 8.75% sales tax. one city in Los Angeles county has 10.75% tho so I guess I shouldn't complain that much

So I like saved money buying online than buying it in the store....and that is just sad.

:CCC still want that magazine btw. I tried checking on ebay a few times but I can't find anything. baww. also gonna be hunting for those infamous 2 shirts to pop up on ebay. SOMEONE HAS TO SELL ONE

aaaaahhh so like last night i put the sheets back on my bed finally my couch is made of stabby springs I've found and i just like...idk tossed half of my plush mountain to the couch cuz I was like FUCK THIS I DONT WANNA SET THIS UP but.....now i like plush mountain being so small. ;_; idk how i remedy this. Leave the plush on my couch? idk dlkjsaldj. i thought about selling some of them, which I might do...but idk if I could actually sell enough of them to make a difference. I still like a lot of the plush I have in plush mountain but gdi some of them are so freaking huge. like TOMY groudon, for example, but I love that thing so NOT GONNA SELL IT i thought about selling my GIANT-ASS TOMY GIRATINA but 1) i don't think anyone will buy him cuz he is huge and expensive .....and 2) i kind of super like him, but would be selling it if only cuz i need the space.

:\

I think I just need to get more room lol. my room is like the size of a shoebox you guys.

ALSO SORRY I HAVEN"T BEEN POSTING STORIES LATELY. ksadljsak i will post like 3 of them later or tomorrow or something idk. i just hate posting 3897493284 journal entries a day even though i only post shit no one cares about anyway lollolol

i feel like drawing something. I might do that now. inb4 i scrap it fo'eva.

I DON'T CARE IF YOU POST 23487239048 JOURNAL ENTRIES A DAY. I READ ALL OF THEM. SO POST THOSE STORIES, GDI. >:O

One of the game reviewers I follow on twitter said he was disappointed that fans didn't like SP giving Cole hair...and when I read that I immediately replied that it's not the hair, gdi, it's the face. THE BIRD NOSE fhaslkfjsl The hair is fine by me but they took away all his defining facial features too.

ANYWAY SP is a pretty cool dude in my opinion now. More game studios need to listen to the fans like they do.

If I had money I'd offer to take some of the plushes off your hands. But I also don't have room for them either, so. :| I don't even have room for itty bitty Umbreon so he just chills on top of the shit on my desk.

first of all i just want to say your icon in my gmail box appears at the top...and drake is like shooting at REJECTED COLE and it looks rly funny to me.

lol it wasn't the hair either...or the clothes...OR EVEN THE TATTOOS! It was just the ~*~magical~*~ de-aging and the fact that his entire face was different. |: I mean, the other stuff is stuff he can reasonably change. even the inexplicable dark brown hair he had BUT FFFFFF. yea I don't mind what they do with him as long as we can look at Cole 1 and Cole 2 and be like YEP ITS THE SAME GUY. :\ not too much to ask!

I AGREE. skdladjaj this is why I've always kind of liked Insomniac too. ;_; They always seem to go out of their way to do things for the fans. LIKE THE COMMUNITY DAY THINGS THEY HOST AT THEIR BURBANK OFFICE. ffffffff So it makes me happy to see another game studio listening too. |3

FFFFFFFFF yea I just....they take over my bed. D: I NEED TO STOP BUYING THEM dkasljjkas. even my cole and zeke plush are like.....camping on my desk or....w/e lol they don't have an official place I just move them around all the time

Drake doesn't approve of rejected Cole. >:O

yea I don't mind what they do with him as long as we can look at Cole 1 and Cole 2 and be like YEP ITS THE SAME GUY

this exactly. They're free to redesign him if they want, but unless they're going to tell us he got a nose job and botox and then died his hair and got a bunch of tattoos, they can't change his core features or de-age him.

Pretty much any studio that listens to its fans is good by me. They're usually making the best games too, so it's extra awesome to support them. Also I hope that Insomniac listening to fans means they'll bring back the weapon wheel and story co-op for R3...

BUT WHY WOULD HE GET RID OF THE BIRDNOSE? ;___; birdnose is best nose. i swear if the new-new design doesn't have the birdnose i will flip some tables.

YES EXACTLY. dssajkdjaks.

I HOPE THEY BRING THOSE BACK, AND ALSO LONGER STORY MODE, PLZ? multiplayer is cool and all but I'm mostly in it for the story. AND RESISTANCE HAS A SUPER COOL SETTING SO WHY WOULD THEY SKIMP ON THE STORY MODE :________: i hope they do online story co-op simply because i have no irl friends that would play resistance with me. :c

but we all know i'd buy it anyway

BECAUSE HE IS VERY SELF-CONSCIOUS ABOUT IT, OBVS. but I will be right there with you flipping tables if they don't bring his bird nose back.

i hope they do online story co-op simply because i have no irl friends that would play resistance with me.

I HOPE FOR THIS TOO. If they make it as awesome as I'm hoping they will, I will def buy R3 and you know I would be more than willing to hit up some story co-op with you.
