I am also having problems with my avatars not updating in Fuse and in the comments too. I have the right icon in the forums and in the regular GS profile. An old avatar in Fuse, and then a pre-baked Vault Boy in the comments.

Chrome browser and in the US.

I guess you could merge these posts with the actual right thread. here: http://www.gamespot.com/forums/topic/29375044/commenting-system-issues-reporting-topic?page=0

Thanks for your response. Yeah I have changed everything, so IDK. I would like all the icons to be the same if possible.

Hi, is it possible to have all my icons (user, profile, in comments to news stories, etc.) just be the same icon? A custom icon? I thought I changed everything, and refreshed my browser, but I am getting a pre-loaded Vault Boy for the comments I make, the PC Master Race Xbox monkey for others, and then my old icon I had before on the 'My Avatar' part of the Fuse settings. Also, I don't see any option to upload my icon in Fuse, other than selecting a pre-loaded one like the Vault Boy and yet it is displaying the old xenomorph icon I had before.

I am not sure if I am explaining this good enough, but I just would like all the icons to be the same one and lose the Vault Boy in the comments and have everything be the same. The split between Fuse, the user profile, and thew rest of the site is pretty confusing for me. Thanks for the help.

I don't know, I think the graphics are pretty good for the amount of detail and action going on. I would compare them to maybe Skyrim, since the models have the same cartoon like quality to them. The Skyrim engine is just a modded version of the original Oblivion engine, and A:CM is using a 5+ year old modded Unreal Engine. I think on consoles they are pretty similar in term of graphical fidelity. What I am getting at is, Skyrim right not have the best graphics ever, but I still thought they were awesome, and they did the job well. I think the same can be said for A:CM. The graphics might not be the best ever, but the work. The brilliant thing is, there is not much difference in graphics from the single player to the multiplayer. I am reminded of the newest Wolfenstein. The singleplayer had great graphics for the time, but the multiplayer looked god awful.

I think the detail in the game is probably better than Far Cry 3. In Far Cry the enemies are all the same, and very bland and muddy looking. I am using Far Cry as an example, since you have recently played it (on your gamer card.) Far Cry had great graphics, (minus all the screen tearing,) but the combat lacked that visual punch. When you would shoot or blow stuff up, the enemies just fall over dead. I would have enjoyed the game a lot more, if you could have blown your enemies to bits like you can in A:CM. A:CM doesn't have the best graphics ever, but it does have the kind of stuff that I think is awesome in a game. I might be of the minority now, but I really enjoy when games have over the top violence in them like A:CM does. I think this game is going to have a gritty old school FPS feeling that I really miss from the games of today. I can't wait.

I am really stoked to see that they made the game so much like an old school shooter. Health packs, armor. You can carry all of your guns, and LOTS of gore. They have added these touches to both the single player and the multiplayer. You can make plenty of xeno chunks when you hit a xeno with a grenade. I can't wait to see what friendly fire looks like in 'ultimate badass' mode. 

Here in this video, at 30:05 you can see a melee shotgun execution on a xeno: http://www.ign.com/videos/2013/02/02/ign-live-presents-aliens-colonial-marines

There are numerous inside mandlble 'hole punch' executions done in the MP when they are playing as the xeno in MP. You are given a 60 point XP bonus when doing this.  Also the xeno chops a marines' head off at 43:59.

With the way FPS games have been made for kids recently, I am really glad they didn't go the usual kiddie route with the game, and actually made a game for adults. I am pleasantly suprised how well this game seems to have turned out. I think this might end up being one of the best shooters ever. Maybe my favorite since the original Quake.

After watching the live footage on IGN last night I am saying a 9.0. Seriously, the game looks awesome.

Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance
Platform:PlayStation 3, Xbox 360
Rating Category:Mature Rating Symbol
Content Descriptors:Blood and Gore, Intense Violence, Strong Language


Rating Summary:This is an action game in which players assume the role of Raiden, a cybernetic soldier on a mission to stop a futuristic terrorist organization. Players use swords, guns, and rocket launchers to kill enemy cyborgs and giant robots in frenetic melee-style combat. Players can also employ stealth tactics (e.g., impaling/stabbing enemies close-up) to eliminate targets. Combat is fast-paced and frenetic, with realistic gunfire, explosions, and cries of pain. Exaggerated blood splashes occur frequently when enemies are injured, and slow-motion effects highlight various finishing moves (e.g., dismembering enemies). Some cut scenes also depict intense acts of violence: a character impaled in slow motion; a close-up angles of dismemberment; a character's heart ripped out. The words f**k and sh*t can be heard in dialogue.

You can buy one from the guy, not sure of his name, next to the giant silt strider, west of the mushroom city Tel something. You only need 4.
