What are you playing right now?

[executioneer]

including being kind of ridiculously buggy, lol

NOT SAYING I DON'T LOVE IT OR ANYTHING

[Fathom Zero]

I can't wait for the next DLC. I tore through Dead Money in a night. That shit was great.

[OxBlood]

Was Dead Money any good in terms of Equipment and Perks and stuff? I don´t care about the story or the places, just what kind of additional stuff I can get for my dude ;)

[LordSappington]

I kept meaning to buy that, but never end up doing it.
I was also going to get the ad poster for it from Gamestop, but their crappy manager they had then threw it out right before I got there. :(

but.. but the story's actually GOOD in dead money :( from what i remember the holorifle kicks some heavy ass once you get out(it's basically a laser sniper rifle + damage over time with a nightvision scope) and i think i used the police revolver a lot after i was done too

[OxBlood]

Ohhh...Revolvers...there can never be enough handguns in a Fallout game...I remember trying to play F3 with the Chinese Pistol only because I fucking love the design of the Mauser C96...but sadly it´s the weakest gun in the whole game.

I did play a lot with Lucky in FNV though that was a lot of fun :)

[Dimnos]

Someone completed a no-kill playthrough of it some time ago. It's pretty close to the original Fallouts, as opposed to Fallout 3.

Was it a totally no kill playthrough? Or did he let his companions kill some bitches? Is there video of this shit? I was thinking about trying it myself on hardcore as a merchant type character with no combat skills. I was just going to take Boone with me so I wouldnt have to worry about anything. :lol

With companion murder. I don't know how you'd get through some parts without someone shooting someone else. My guess is that you'll need a lot of sneakiness and a ton of stealth boys. The finale alone comes to mind when I think of it, let alone any other incidental fight.

[OxBlood]

Ah, finally, the Mortal Kombat Demo is free for everyone.

Played it very briefly this morning and I really really like the simplicity of it. Not that many moves, Combos consist of 3 buttons max, easy to pull of specials and fatalities...mix that up with the three-stage-supermeter and you got yourself a really fun game it seems.

Day 1-purchase for sure.

[LordSappington]

Bought Homefront. Taking it back for a refund.

[darkvare]

the mk demo is great it has the 2 character i will probably use the most lol mileena and sub zero

[LordSappington]

Homefront:
I had high hopes for Homefront. It had a lot of potential; the first thirty minutes had my blood pumping and ready to KICK ASS. However, it started to fall flat pretty quickly. The first thing I noticed was that you can only carry 90 spare rounds for SMGs and assault rifles. This isn't much ammo even before you take into account that enemies take more damage in general than in, say, Call of Duty. The weapons also don't have much weight behind them; none of them feel particularly powerful, and there's little difference from weapon to weapon. Also, when you throw grenades, you don't get any sense of the fuse like in CoD when your crosshair pulses, and the grenade magically leaves your hand before you even complete the throw.
The environments aren't much better. You spend less time in iconic American settings, like baseball fields and malls, than you do in random, bombed-out suburbs and unrecognizable holding areas.
As for the story: It starts off with you getting your apartment busted into, and you getting arrested, thrown down the stairs, and carted away in a bus. On the way, you see quite a few honestly touching horrors of war, which got me ready to kick some ass. The bus then gets hit by an SUV, which kills everyone inside but you. A resistance member takes you (the exact pilot they were looking for, conveniently.) to their hideout, and you begin a plan to steal three tankers of fuel and take them to the Army. This mission will take up about 2/3 of the four-hour gameplay, by the way.
The characters are all pretty much useless. None of them have any development, and I couldn't relate to any of them at all. I honestly wouldn't have been affected in any way if any of them ended up dying.
As for multiplayer, I can't say, because the SERVERS WOULDN'T WORK.
tl;dr Bad/short campaign, boring gameplay, bad characters, non-functioning multiplayer (for me).

[Dr. Boogie]

I wasn't expecting much when the only part of the game getting any press was the implausible story.

Oh well. Another American persecution-themed game for Yahtzee to savage.

[OxBlood]

I got Homefront too but only for the multiplayer.

I don´t know what exactly was going on in THQ´s heads when they marketed that game. They only advertise the Singleplayer Mode with the oh-so-great story. Advertisement for the online-modes? None as far as I can tell.

That wouldn´t be so much of a problem...it´s just...well, the Singleplayer is utter bullshit and the online stuff is pretty great. It´s just that no one knows about it :D


Seriously. I played online for about 2 or 3 hours yesterday. Yes, the servers don´t work well right now cause even THQ themselves didn´t see what kind of game they released there aparently.

Anyway, Ground War is a really fun mode. It´s basically Capture and Hold with three objectives and two rounds of play (the objectives are moved after the first round). While there don´t seem to be many weapons, those that are there seem to be pretty unique and each seems to have it´s specific use. There´s one attachment-slot which can take unlockable scopes, grenade launchers and so on. There´s camo for the weapons (useless of course), a special grenade Slot (for flashbangs of EMPs etc.).
Now it gets more interesting. Next up are the perks we all know and love though here they give you three points you can spend on 1, 2 and 3 point-perks so you can either have 3 weak ones or one powerful and so on.
Where Homefont gets unique is the Battlepoints. Apart from earning XP while playing, every action you do for your team nets you BP which you can spend on two kinds of things. First are the buy-slots of which you can assign two to each Equipment-Set. For example, the Assault-Set has a Flak Jacket and an RPG as it´s default setup. If at any point in the game you have 300BP (about 3 kills for example), you just press up on the D-Pad and voila, a Flak Jacket to make you more resistant to enemy fire. There´s many other things you can buy with BP. Drones (more on those in a bit), Ammo Refils, Airstrikes and, most importantly: Vehicles. From Humvees to Tanks and Choppers, if you have the neccessary BP you can just spawn in a Tank if you want. Gotta unlock them by leveling though.

Finally a quick word on Drones. There´s at least 4 kind of Drones in the game and they all make sense (A drone takes up a BP-Slot so choose wisely). Most Drones work by just pressing a button, spawning the thing in front of you and then taking direct control of it until it is destroyed or you are killed.
The basic Drone is the Robot-with-a-gun-Drone, it´s nice for taking a cautious approach when it comes to storming buildings or scouting out the battlefield ahead since dying is usually not that advantagous caus you have to run quite a distance to get back into the action most of the time. The next Drone is the...Parrot I think, it´s just one of those little flying hover-thingies. It´s unarmed but you can use it to scout from the air and mark targets and enemies for your allies which in turn nets you more BP so being a Scout can pay off too if your secondary BP-Slot holds an Airstrike for example. The third is some kind of Anti-Vehicle Drone but I haven´t played around with it yet.


Anyway, to wrap this up, the Online Modes really have potential. They´re fun, they feel less hectic than Modern Warfare, it kind of feels fair most of the time, the whole Dronestuff and BP-Concept is really nice, the verhicles add another layer of complexity since it can really be a problem if someone walzes through your defenses with a tank an no one has any countermeassures.


Good game, but only online.

[LordSappington]

Another thing: FUCK. THE. FONT.
Seriously; since I just have a CTR tv, most games are hard to read on it already. I honestly had no idea what I was reading half the time, because they decided not to use a simple font, and instead this weird tiny one that requires the perfect resolution or you can't read a fucking thing on it and boy am I pissed

[Fathom Zero]

Here's a thought: Take the sixty bucks you're going to spend on the next new shiny game and put it towards a fucking serviceable television. I got a 42" LG number on Amazon for $400.

[Zhukov]

I think you should have spent that $400 on some manners, because fuck you I had the same problem with Dead Rising and it really pissed me off.

[Grislygus]

I played Dead Rising right up until the first boss, emptied all my ammunition into him, died, suddenly realized that I didn't care enough to make a second attempt, and was very glad that I never buy videogames unless I can get them dirt cheap

[Grislygus]

Which reminds me. Since I have a macbook now, and some money, I actually was figuring on buying a game for the first time in two years... any recommendations? I haven't really been paying attention, Diablo III won't be finished for a while, and I'm not going to buy one of the three pieces of Starcraft. What the hell other kinds of story-driven/rpgish games have been coming out these days?

[Fathom Zero]

I think you should have spent that $400 on some manners, because fuck you I had the same problem with Dead Rising and it really pissed me off.
That's funny coz I could read everything perfectly on my horrid CRT tele.

I don't suppose you'd be interested in Team Fortress. Minecraft is nice, (if a little "in," if that's something that matters to you.) The Fallouts are okay. I like the Witcher, myself. But I dunno. Mount and Blade is aight. And you should try and play Amnesia: The Dark Descent. I really dig it.

[Grislygus]

Do you have to pay for minecraft?

[executioneer]

i'll second mount and blade although it's less storydriven. unless you're talking about Warband or Fire & Sword version/expansion, which i haven't played (is it worth spending $$$ on?)

[OxBlood]

Do you have to pay for minecraft?


For the beta, yes. The classic version is for free but it´s just an editor more or less.

But Minecraft is worth every $ if you ask me. I paid 10 bucks for it, I´d pay 30 without hesitating too. BUT there should be some kind of demo. I KNOW how great Minecraft is but other people might be reluctant if they can´t at least try it. A timed demo would be the right thing I think. Lets you try the game for an hour before you have to pay or something like that.

[Fathom Zero]

It's fifteen Euros. Most definitely worth it.

And yeah, there's no real story to Mount and Blade, except there might be a little backstory behind your character that you get to pick. Most of it is randomly generated, I believe. You can become almost anything you want.

Or get captured and become a slave.

I was captured for slavery a lot because I wasn't too good at combat. But Willie's taken over towns, if I remember him right.

[executioneer]

i wiped out an entire empire :sunglasses

[Fathom Zero]

I got all my items taken away repeatedly and was forced to fight in gladiatorial tournaments. :dumbglasses

[Fathom Zero]

that's a little damning. Hahaha.

"It’s hard to capture quite how much this game seems to hate you for wanting to be involved..." :lol

[Fathom Zero]

UZ-dhpbbTp0

lol

[OxBlood]

Ha, will you look at that. My Yakuza 4 came in the mail today. I fucking LOVE that series.

And this time we get the whole package again...apart from the quiz, okay. But I´d play this for the Mahjongg-parlors alone :)

[darkvare]

wait you can't play mahjong in 3?

[Dr. Boogie]

Nah, they cut out mahjong and hostess parlors for the western release.

I can't say I was too broken up about it because I hated the hostess sections and don't know how to play mahjong, but it was still too bad that they cut stuff like that.

[darkvare]

but there's a mahjong place you can enter i thought you could play there

[Dr. Boogie]

Nope, all you can do is pick up a locker key and leer at the NPCs playing mahjong.

[darkvare]

lame also i find it kinda funny thet there are chicks waiting for me at the burger place to go on dates

[MLE]

you're 15 again

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

Not too much of a stretch, Didn't you just have your Oquincho Orcha last year Darkvare? I remember pictures.

[darkvare]

is quinceañera and no, i'm 23

[OxBlood]

Nah, they cut out mahjong and hostess parlors for the western release.

I can't say I was too broken up about it because I hated the hostess sections and don't know how to play mahjong, but it was still too bad that they cut stuff like that.


I agree. We (Europe even more than the US) can be happy to get the game at all but there was still no reason to cut all that stuff.

Now, I don´t care about the hostess-stuff either but I´m gonna take a look at it, especially since I just read Tokyo Vice which explains the whole thing along with most other Kabukicho/Kamurocho-related activities quite well.

As for Mahjongg...I can play a specific type of Mahjongg and I know the rules but it´s still hard to tell the number-pieces apart without any help...that, and I don´t remember any good hands anyway. Still a lot of fun.
Found a shitload of keys too since there´s double as many lockers in Kamurocho this time (no Okinawa sadly, I love that place)...

[Fathom Zero]

Started playing STALKER again. Does anyone want to try it with me?

[Guitar Woman]

I'm digging Call of Pripyat off and on.

One thing I noticed is that there aren't any artifacts, or if there are they're really shitty and pump you full of radiation, which is never worth it.

I read something about having to use that weirdo flip-up sensor thing to find them, but I'm a hardcore shootin' motherfucker and Call of Pripyat is a lot less brutal than Shadow of Chernobyl, so I don't think being a superhuman death machine via radioactive magic is really necessary. It also makes artifacts seem like more of a commodity among Stalkers when you can't just walk outside and pick up a ridiculously good one while tiptoeing through the tulips.

I do miss being able to sprint forever, though. Even if you have an energy drink IV drip going you still have to stop for a breather every 40 feet.

Also, there's one mission early on in the game where a mob boss hires you to gun down a camp full of innocent rookie Stalkers, and you can opt to betray him instead and kill his whole hit squad. Buuuuuuuuut after I did that I went back to the place where he was chilling to see if I could kill him, too, and take all his mad mafia loot. He proceeded to amiably chat about the weather to me, despite the fact that I had just murdered all of his goons and exposed him as a royal dickhead to everyone else at his camp. So, yeah, maybe still a few bugs to work out, but it wouldn't be STALKER if everything worked like it was supposed to. Speaking of which, the dialogue is still at the mercy of Google Translator.

[Dr. Boogie]

You use the detectors to find artifacts in the field. The starting one just beeps more frequently the closer you get to one, but the more advanced ones show you dots on a radar screen for where it is and how rare each one is. You can find some pretty good ones right off the bat, like in that big cave complex near the burnt-out village. Lot of anomalies, but also the potential to score some phat loot.

[OxBlood]

Great. Again I get swarmed by good games...so...Crysis2, yeah...played for about 3hrs (360) and...yeah, it´s pretty good.

Looks good, controls well, the suit is fun...and we get the superb bonus of having the turkish dub along with the german. Funny and sad at the same time somehow.

[LordSappington]

Been playing a lot of Black Ops and now Batman: Arkham.
Zombies on Black Ops is fun as hell; when I paired up with a good team that kept close and talked to each other, we got to wave seventeen, and only died because one of us got greedy for a powerup and we lost the firepower. However, for every good match, there's a bad one, where some asshole who doesn't even have a mic will run around to other people's windows the first few rounds and kill the zombies, so HE can get the points. In later waves, it becomes completely terrifying; even having to reload can very well be a death sentence. And there's not much worse a feeling than wen you're backing away from a horde, wasting them left and right, then get taken out the instant you start to reload.
As for Batman, all I can say is FUCK. YES. I was pretty neutral about it at first, but got a friend to loan it to me, and I'm having a blast basically scaring the everloving shit out of random mooks; grabbing them and suspending them from gargoyles, throwing remote batarangs into groups of them from a hundred yards away and around a corner, and (my favorite) spraying a bunch of explosive gel on the walls and floor, luring them into it, and blowing them all across the room, leaving them in stunned heaps.

[executioneer]

the stealth challenges were so fun to beat in that game :(

[kahljorn]

where some asshole who doesn't even have a mic will run around to other people's windows the first few rounds and kill the zombies, so HE can get the points.

ugh that's not nearly as bad as the dudes who do have a mic and will do that and then they go, "LOOK AT MY POINTS IM SO GOOD IM GONNA THROW A GRENADE IN YOUR WINDOW HUGHAHAHA"

[LordSappington]

the stealth challenges were so fun to beat in that game :(
Not to mention they're legitimately FUN. It balances stealth perfectly, and I'll never get tired of stringing up mooks. In one room, I had a perfect pentagram (if you traced lines between them) of guys I tied to the gargoyles. It was so worth the ten minutes of sneaking.
I personally like the survival challenge, because as the game throws more enemies at you, it's really just a test of your reflexes, and really makes you feel like you're kicking SERIOUS ass.

[LordSappington]

I thought the game fucking broke on me. That was brilliant.

[Esuohlim]

I'm playing Wind Waker again, which is an incredible game as long as you don't compare it to other Zelda games. I finally got to the point where I can explore unrestricted and I'm having a blast. Fuck everyone who hates the sailing parts.

[Guitar Woman]

I'd say Windwaker is better than most Zeldas, actually

And yeah, sailing around sacking towns and shit in any order you wanted ought to be re-used in some sort of pirate RPG. It's awesome. I could see how some people wouldn't like it, though, since there aren't really a lot of encounters to spice up the traveling a bit. Some of them don't work right, either, like how those sharks that follow your boat will never, ever attack you as long as you're moving. It actually took me a while to figure out what the hell they were, since I never swiveled the camera around and they looked like evil seagulls.

[Esuohlim]

They keep turning around and blowing right past my boat over and over again, but once in a while they will connect with it and knock me out of it >: I can't remember how to aim at and kill shit while sailing, unless I can't until I get some arrows

[Zhukov]

I never got to play Windwaker damn it.

I've been getting back into Starcraft II recently, and decided that I was going to train and become one of the top players in the world... for about five minutes before changing my mind since I realised that I can't be bothered.

[OxBlood]

Hey, look! My 3rd-favorite game :)

I really wish I had a PC right now...maybe I´ll just play the PSP-Version...

[Guitar Woman]

Being the best StarCraft 2 player in the world is probably a lot like being the best rapist in the world. It's an impressive position, but you'll lose your humanity somewhere along the way, and everyone will think you're a huge asshole.

Why, yes, I do have a rather low opinion of StarCraft and its fanbase, why do you ask?

[Dimnos]

I just reloaded Pirates! on my laptop yesterday. :lol

[Guitar Woman]

I finished AlternativA, thank god

Honestly, if it weren't 25 dollars, I'd have considered it a fun little point-and-click nostalgia trip, but it's just too shitty to pay for. The one part of the plot that was interesting, the murder that gets the conspiracy investigation going, gets swept under the rug after you break into the morgue and steal the dead guy's eye.

And what the fuck, at the very end they find out that it's a conspiracy to invent time travel from Brazillian indian technology? This is literally never foreshadowed anywhere, and since you accidentally sabotaged it the game ends directly after this, so any paradox fun they could have put in gets completely ignored

Also, even with all the puzzle padding, where you have to talk to the same person over and over each time you make a little bit of progress, the game is something like 7 hours long. That was just me, though, and there were one or two times where I had to leave the game running while I watched a Let's Play of it to figure out what the fuck I was supposed to be doing. So, it's probably even shorter than that if you have a PhD in Ukranian moon-logic.

Not that I was expecting the game to not be horrible. Actually, it's slightly better than the trailer makes it look, but that's not saying much.
fcF39KnU7mc

[Guitar Woman]

In other news, hey, Mirror's Edge is actually good. Also definitely one of the prettiest games I've ever played.

Actually, I wouldn't really call it a "game," it's more of a super-glorified tech demo. A linear series of seamlessly-connected scripted events, where the enemies exist to provide the illusion of threat rather than anything tangible, and because of this are such fucking horrifyingly bad shots that they would make a squadron of Imperial Stormtroopers double over and collapse in laughter. Except for when the game feels like being a fucker and has 5 of them hit every clip from their machineguns on you in about 1 second, although it only seems to happen when I don't go the way the game wants me to, so I guess it's just a more assholeish way of keeping me on the train tracks. It almost feels like if you took all the police officers out of the running sequences you'd just inexplicably drop dead if you went the wrong direction.

It's entertaining, I guess, but the wall-running flat out does not fucking work, and the combat with real actual NPC police is the most horrible and offensive use of QTE spam I've seen since the knife fight with Krauser.

[King Hadas]

What are you talking about the knife fight with Krauser was great, the best QTE sequence ever made.

Man, they updated Super Meat Boy with like 140 something new levels but for some reason they don't save your progress yet. Since I only play games for the illusion of accomplishment they're totally inaccessible to me, plus I'm sick as fuck of Super Meat Boy. 44 hours of play time is pretty crazy for a platformer.

[LordSappington]

I never even beat it. I got stuck on that room with the button on the ceiling, and the ONE time I hit it, I jump straight in thinking it's safe. Haven't played it since.

[darkvare]

i bought re 5 cause it was a greatest hit and now i'm on the hunt for the emblems only 5 to go

Oh wow I've been neglecting this game. now I need to finish it... AND play new levels. so long, exams!

[LordSappington]

Been on another Minecraft binge. I finally found a wolf, tamed it, and my game crashed and now it's disappeared. Fuck.

[OxBlood]

Wolfenstein. Luckily someone I know wanted to get rid of his copy...and since you´re not allowed to sell the game in germany (officially)...Already finished it when it first came out but it´s still nice to have it on the shelf.

[Dr. Boogie]

So what you're saying is that seeing a swastika has not caused you to turn into a Nazi? Even though you're in Germany?

[OxBlood]

I know, it sounds crazy! Imagine all the options I have all of a sudden! I can go to Asia without turning into a drooling killer anymore shouting things like JA! SCHNELL SCHNELL or ACHTUNG IHRE PAPIERE BITTE!!!


:lol

Ah, what can I say, that stupid Hakenkreuz/Swastika-thingie is against the law here so everything with such a thing in it is against the law as well...

Guess how many of those Swastikas I conciously notice in the game. Exactly. None ;)

I think it´s a real shame because that game is really good for just being a stupid shooter...

[Izlude]

I know, it sounds crazy! Imagine all the options I have all of a sudden! I can go to Asia without turning into a drooling killer anymore shouting things like JA! SCHNELL SCHNELL or ACHTUNG IHRE PAPIERE BITTE!!!



I saw "Zooey Deschanel or Action Paper Bite" when I read that.

I dunno about anyone else.

[OxBlood]

Thats why I love languages so much. Things that already sound stupid to me sound even more stupid to people who don´t speak the language :D or...not as well as I do, I actually don´t know if any of you guys speak german ;)


By the way, I´m still a little disappointed that the funny nazi guys in Wolfenstein speak english instead of bad german, it was way funnier that way :) now oll zey do iz imitating bet german aczenz mein Herr :lol

[Fathom Zero]

I took German once, which was enough to teach me some pronunciation and a couple words, but my vocabulary leaves a lot to be desired.

[Zhukov]

I've played Wolfenstein which was enough to teach me some pronunciation and a lots of words. My vocabulary is astounding.

[OxBlood]

Well...I gues should my country ever resort to demonic magic to take over the world, you guys can at least understand what the soldiers want of you before they mutate into some kind of abomination from beyond the void or something :)

I think it´s kinda interesting how every portrayal of Nazi-germany in games focusses solely on their military campaign and leaves the real evil out of the equation...then again, I really wouldn´t want to play a game about THAT...ugh...Makes you wish those guys only dabbled in ancient magic or some shit like that instead of what they really did...

Oh and I still think "Leichenfaust" is one hell of a name for a weapon :lol Who comes up with a name like Corpsefist...

[Guitar Woman]

I need to stop buying Hitman games, because I've been duped into it three fucking times already and they just keep being horrible no matter what people tell me.

"Hey, we've got fun stealthing abound! Come and play with us!"

"Ok, Hitman. Hey, wait a minute, your stealth is broken, clunky, and horrible, and the AI isn't designed around it. How the hell am I supposed to do this?"

"Why don't you just shoot everyone?"

"I didn't sign up for a third person shooter! Not to mention that your gun mechanics aren't much better!"

"We promise the next game will be much less horrible than the last!"

"I fell for that with Hitman 2 and Blood Money already! Why don't you go fuck yourself, franchise?"

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

My friend was playing the new mutation for L4D2 and its you by yourself against only special infected....so no common infected or AI humans. Apparently they don't even show up to the game anymore :(

My friend was playing the new mutation for L4D2 and its you by yourself against only special infected....so no common infected or AI humans. Apparently they don't even show up to the game anymore :(

That sounds...horrible actually. I hated L4D mainly because of those stupid special infected...and don´t start about challenge or anthing, I just wanted to shoot millions of zombies, not deal with Tanks and shit...


Again, I´m at the last boss in Wolfenstein and again, he´s extremely annoying...he was stupid on normal, on hard he´s just...gah!

[Dr. Boogie]

I need to stop buying Hitman games, because I've been duped into it three fucking times already and they just keep being horrible no matter what people tell me.

Just stay completely out of sight and focus on killing/stealing uniforms from people with high security clearance, mostly guards. Then you can pretty much do whatever.

[Hangie]

I just finished playing the Penumbra series, they're pretty good. Especially since they're not too scary and I'm a total pussy.

Killzone 3 with the light gun. Now I just need another gun and a game that's a co-op rail shooter so I can relieve House of the Dead 2. :)

I couldn't even get past the fucking tutorial level, because it wouldn't even tell me what to do. It just said I needed to distract the guards, without telling me how. I had a coin or something, which I flicked out the window, and they didn't even budge. Then I walked out the door, right past them since there was no other way around, and about halfway down the street they decided to open fire. Fuck Blood Money.

[Phoenix Gamma]

SSF4 is getting frustrating now that my rank is up and people my rank keep clobbering me. Last game ended with stuff skidding across my room. I don't get mad if I'm playing with my buddies in person, in fact, I laugh a little too much. But for some reason online matches really piss me off.

Then I remembered how I used to blow off steam; being the best fucking spy ever in TF2. Which is what I've been doing now. Kinda like the Kunai if I can chain stabs, but I'm so used to the Eternal Reward now that I forget that backstabbing decloaks me.

Oh, and Game Dev Story on iphone is fucking awesome.

[Shadowdancer21b]

Silent Hill 2 for the umpteenth time, LOtR: the third age, and Fatal Frame

[Dr. Boogie]

Age of Conan free trial.

I'm almost to the end of the big opening single player questline, but it's so goddamn boring. Inside the quest it's not so bad, but everything else is just mediocre. Plus, the find a group mechanic doesn't work, so I haven't been able to team up with anyone the whole time I've been playing this damn game.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

I kinda want to play L.A. Noire when it comes out.

[Dr. Boogie]

Same here, but I have to admit I'm more interested to see how the detective leveling system works.

i was subbed to that game for like 4 years. it was ok despite the bugs for the first year, then they got a new game director who had a vision to create World of Warcraft in Hyboria. it sucks hard.

[King Hadas]

What does it mean to be subbed to a game?

[Chojin]

subscribed. only rly applies to pay-to-play mmos.

[King Hadas]

whoops, don't know why I didn't understand something so simple. How embarrassing.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

Me too. I was looking at some of the achievements for it and it sounds like you might have to prosecute some of the criminals too instead of just bringing them to justice/the morgue.

[Fathom Zero]

just bringing them to justice/the morgue.

:lol

[Phoenix Gamma]

GUYS. GUYS. GUYS.

HEY GUYS.

IF YOU HAVE ANY OF THE GAMES ON THIS LIST, YOU SHOULD PLAY THEM AND UNLOCK ALL OF THE HIDDEN POTATOS. IF YOU DO, WE GET PORTAL 2 EARLY.
http://www.aperturescience.com/glados@home/

AND HERE'S HOW TO POTATOZ:
http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:http://valvearg.com/wiki/Potato_Sources

I GOT LIKE SIX BUT THERE ARE 4 MORE I CAN GET WITH MY CURRENT LIBRARY BECAUSE I'M NOT BUYING THE WHOLE SET BUT YOU GUYS SHOULD SO I CAN PLAY PORTAL 2 SOONER.

<3 PEEGEE

[Guitar Woman]

I bought the potato sack a week ago, but it was only for Amnesia and Super Meat Boy. Are any of those other games any good? I thought I'd try out Bit Trip Beat and maybe Audiosurf.

And Portal 2 was only 7 days away by default. I don't see what the big deal is. Then again, that sentence has described my feelings about Portal from day one, so I guess I'm just not one of those guys.

[Phoenix Gamma]

I just came back from an ARCADE.

They still EXIST!

btc took me there for my belated birthday. This place was off the fucking hook. Huuuuuge pinball collection, every version of Street Fighter, a giant Blazblue cabinet, this really funky SNES cabinet that let you play Mario, F-Zero, and Super Tennis, and a shitload of other games. Seriously, it had every arcade and pinball game I've ever seen as a kid, except now I'm an adult so I can spend as much money as I want on tokens ($25 lasted me about 2 and a half hours).

btc apparently NEVER heard of REVOLUTION X, which means I had to show him the best Aerosmith Rescue Simulator known to man. I don't think I've ever seen him that happy to see Steven Tyler.

Seriously, there were so many games and pinball machines I haven't seen in ages (or haven't seen period) so this was a fucking treat. And I had enough tickets for a Mario shirt. I NEVER got to leave with prizes as a kid. We're definitely going back there again.

[Chojin]

And Portal 2 was only 7 days away by default. I don't see what the big deal is. Then again, that sentence has described my feelings about Portal from day one, so I guess I'm just not one of those guys.

this is pretty much how i feel about portal

"oh, that's neat."

[OxBlood]

Hey guy, maybe you can help me out here. Does anyone here already have Mortal Kombat? I´m asking because the online-passes don´t seem to work in germany. BUT my theory is that it´s simply too early since the official release is...when, next week?

Any info would really help cause...you know, people on the net tend to start crying very easily and half my german board is full of frightened people right now :D

And concerning MK in general...man that game is good, just finished arcade mode with Ermac...really good.

[darkvare]

let me try asking on gametrailers

[Guitar Woman]

Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood

The single player is pretty much Ass Creed 2 with a better city and a less interesting story. Still good, but it's not as engrossing the second time around. The multiplayer isn't anything to write home about, which is a shame, because Ubisoft were probably hoping it'd justify charging 50 dollars for what's functionally an expansion pack.

It reminds me a lot of Bloody Good Time's Hunt gamemode, only you can't really fight back against your pursuers; you just have to run your ass off and hide. Then when you do hide, you can expect them to pinpoint your location immediately and stab you in the face, since everyone has a compass that points them directly to their target, and anyone with a working brain can tell who is and isn't an NPC with only a cursory glance. You can also expect to kill a lot of people, but it's so fucking easy to do since they can't resist or really escape with any reliability, why bother?

I thought the concept of a primarily stealth-based multiplayer game wouldn't really work that well, since sneaking games generally rely on retarded, legally blind enemy NPCs, but Ubisoft fumbled it worse than I imagined they would.

Nobody talks, either. I guess silence is preferable to a middle-schooler girlishly cooing the word "faggot" at you over and over again, but it makes me feel like nobody really gives a shit.

[Esuohlim]

I MA PLAYING ELEPHANT QUEST (http://armorgames.com/play/10606/elephant-quest), MAH NIGS

[executioneer]

it was pretty fun i guess? i liked the grid puzzle thing for choosing how your attributes level up

[Esuohlim]

If there are any other games out there (online, console, whatever) with that kind of platformer/leveling-up combination I'd like to know about them. I'm having a ton of fun with this.

[OxBlood]

Hm, it seems, Germany is really barred from using Mortal Kombat online...I registered the Online code via my UK-Fake account and voilá - it works. No Servers yet though and the first random player ran out after the first round...which was understandable cause I played Smoke and he´s super cheap :D

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

I love smoke. Yet to part the new mk though. Is it human smoke or robot smoke?

[OxBlood]

Human, Robot Smoke isn´t in the game (yet?) We get another cyberfied Ninja instead...but I guess you already know who it is...

[LordSappington]

OoT. I forgot how much I hated the Water Temple.

[Chojin]

it was pretty fun i guess? i liked the grid puzzle thing for choosing how your attributes level up

THE GRID. A DIGITAL FRONTIER.

[Guitar Woman]

OoT. I forgot how much I hated the Water Temple.

Protip: The second key you need when you're stuck is in the room where you float up to meet Ruto, mid level.

Also, don't forget that there's loot underneath the room inside the middle spire; if you raise the water up a bit, that weird brown platform floats up and there's a passage under it.

[LordSappington]

I finally finished it. The whole problem is all of a sudden, the game's like "Hey, you liked the puzzles before? Well, try keeping track of rooms at multiple levels, along with changing the water levels to match them, along with matching the water levels inside THOSE rooms because they change levels! Also, fuck you!"
On the other hand, Shadow Link was a little bitch once I tried using the Megaton Hammer on him. Turns out he's completely harmless when you use it.

[Guitar Woman]

I usually just don't Z-Target him at all, run in as close as I can, and fucking wail on him with the Master Sword. He'll only be able to block a few attacks before you eventually get him. This is probably the fastest possible way to beat him, but you're going to get the shit kicked out of you while doing this, so a potion or two is a good idea. Fairies are for wee little girly men.

[OxBlood]

I finished the Mortal Kombat-Storymode and jeez, it´s really great, so much History :)

Played some more online too, won some matches, some with Smoke, some with Raiden, though I wanna try getting better with...errrr Secret Character #1. The King of the Hill Mode is really nice too, I can´t remember any other Brawler with a working Spectator Mode. The lags suck though when playing with some people.

Oh, and Babalities. They are so much fun :D

He literally didn't do anything when I used the hammer; he didn't block or strike back or flip out of the way; he just kept getting hit like a little bitch. It was kind of disappointing, after hearing everyone freak out about him so much.

[Esuohlim]

Din's Fire, idiots. It will kill him in like two hits.

Also my problem with the Water Temple is the unintuitive placement of the blue Song of Time block in a spot where you can't see it that leads to the snake-shaped room. Other than that I didn't really find it to be the big headache everyone makes it out to be.

[LordSappington]

Only losers use the fairy spells. Real men use swords and hammers and bombs

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

I can´t remember any other Brawler with a working Spectator Mode.


That looked really interesting. Thats what I remember most about playing Mortal Kombat or even really any arcade game when I was younger was watching other people play. Waiting for my turn. Then being watched by others waiting their turn.

I never knew about Din's fire either. Was it Ocarina of Time that you could learn the scarecrow song? I remember learning it and then never finding a use for him.

no! real men use deku nuts :(



also i'm playing CreaVures <3

[Zhukov]

I really liked the water temple.

Yeah, it´s nice. All the little Avatars jumping around, throwing tomatoes and stuff :lol

Gladly, you can switch to fullscreen whenever you want and focus on the fight.
I was beaten to a pulp by a Scorp-player yesterday after I destroyed his Jax with my Jade...turned out he knew how to play Scorp way better...then again, he didn´t have that much of a chance against my Smoke afterwards :).

What I love about brawlers is the anticipation the moment before you can move in the beginning. Will the enemy just jump? Will he do a special and if, which will he do, will he anticipate MY jump and uppercut me? I don´t know why but I like that tension :)

[Phoenix Gamma]

Just beat Portal 2's singleplayer. Fantastic story. Level design was a lot harder, and there were a lot of moments outside of the test chambers that had me stumped, though a few times the solution had me thinking "how was I supposed to know to do THAT?" after staring at a room for awhile.

Aside from that, the puzzles were really good, the story was a lot different from the first one, and then it turns out there's a store for items in co-op, so you can make a living off this game now too.

Plus it's really damn funny.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

Yeah, it´s nice. All the little Avatars jumping around, throwing tomatoes and stuff :lol


Hahahha, that just got so much better. I thought it was just fullscreen watching two other people fight.

[OxBlood]

Hahahha, that just got so much better. I thought it was just fullscreen watching two other people fight.

You can if you want. But if you use the other viewing-mode (just press select to switch back and forth) you see the two combatants´ avatars standing on little pedestals flailing their arms while the waiting crowd cheers down below. After the fight, the crowd and the loser can rate the winner from 0-10...a nice way to show spammers what you think of them :)

Here´s a pic from the PS3-Version, the Xbox uses the normal User-Avatars instead.
http://www.geeksofgaming.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/mk9_king.jpg


I´ve only played King of the hill once though and the lag was really horrible which seems to be a location problem again. Against some people it´s 90% like the singleplayer in terms of lag, against others it´s about half a second to a whole second of lag. Almost unplayable. I am able to anticipate games like this to a certain degree and do certain things even with a second of lag but I can hardly win that way ;)

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

I'm going to try and rent it tonight, looks like a ton of fun.

[Esuohlim]

Was it Ocarina of Time that you could learn the scarecrow song? I remember learning it and then never finding a use for him.

Yeah, whenever you get to an area where Navi flies off suddenly, turns blue, and hovers around an empty space that's usually where you can play the song. It usually just lead to Skulltulas or rupees, though.

[darkvare]

actually you need it on the fire temple to get the scarecrow to appear and lead you to a heart piece if i remember correctly

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

I never did get all the skullatullas or hearts. That stupid french scarecrow didn't tell me all that. He must have been too busy haw haw hawing around somewhere.

[Fathom Zero]

Persona 4 again on mah PS2 and it's janky ass.

But it looks like the emulator upscales the textures nicely, so I may just go that route so long as I've got just my HDTV.

eQOzQkPPD-A

[Esuohlim]

A SCARECROW IN THE FIRE TEMPLE? HAS THE WIZARD OF OZ TAUGHT THESE GAME DEVELOPERS NOTHING? :(

[Phoenix Gamma]

Fuck Persona 4 and its two hour introduction. That kinda bullshit should be outlawed.

[Guitar Woman]

You don't need to get that piece of heart. I never bothered getting all of the hearts in Ocarina because a few of the pieces are fucking impossible. Dampe >:

That kinda bullshit should be outlawed.
What should really be outlawed is implying your game contains lesbians when it actually doesn't. Atlus fucking loves this. I also had to give up being a FemShep in Mass Effect 1 because I wanted to hook up with Tali in the sequel, and I guess she's not the tank top and mullet type.

I know this is a retarded thing to complain about, but fuck you, it bothers me.

[elx]

how're you liking amnesia, GW? :)

[Guitar Woman]

It's okay, I guess. My major complaint is that, like Silent Hill 2, it's all atmosphere and doesn't endanger the player as often as it should. Once you realize nothing in the game can actually hurt you it stops being scary.

I'm only like 40 minutes into it, though, so I could be completely wrong and just in the middle of a really slow opening.

ha. you're still in the opening bro. the whole first quarter of the game is like that. you're going to be freaking the hell out in no time -- just don't start pausing when that happens, because then you'll be really fucked.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

I didn't think you played videogames elx.

[Fathom Zero]

I read that as "I don't think you play videogames elx" which made me :lol

[LordSappington]

I just played Portal 2 for five straight hours, and made myself stop so I'd still have some to play tomorrow. All I can say is it's like they took everything from the previous game, cranked it up to eleven, and gave it an awesome plot.
Seriously; it's hilarious as hell, hard as hell, and it' got me completely hooked.

[Dr. Boogie]

Two Worlds 2.

I wanted to like the first one, but there were just too many things wrong. That's why I was glad to see they fixed pretty much all my complaints in the sequel. Mostly I didn't like that monsters leveled up with you, but there were other issues, too.

There's less of the random dungeons, but the flipside is that the ones they have are better designed, rather than just a bunch of clone-stamped dungeons with mediocre loot.

The new upgrade system is nice, too. Instead of slapping together two similar items, you have the option to break down weapons and armor into their components (wood, iron, etc) and use those to upgrade your equipment based on your upgrading skill.

I've been going through the game as an archer. There was some struggling on the very first island, but I eventually realized that that was because there's some monsters that are your level, but there's also a bunch of those same monsters that are 8 levels above you on that same island. Now I'm getting through combat without too much trouble, plugging enemies from afar with slowing poison arrows and leveling them with multiarrow when they get too close. It's not too easy, though, which is nice.

I can honestly say I'm looking forward to my next playthrough. Maybe I'll try to get a handle on the complex magic system.

[darkvare]

damn challenge 300 in mk is hard :/

[OxBlood]

TES: Oblivion. Bought the PS3-Goty-Edition for 20 bucks and having a blast with it. I still can´t help myself but to exploit the shit out of the game, there are just too many great things you can do to make you insanely powerful once you can craft your own spells and magic equipment. Did anyone ever play the game without doing the mage guild-quests as soon as possible? Hard to imagine.

[MarioRPG]

You don't need to get that piece of heart. I never bothered getting all of the hearts in Ocarina because a few of the pieces are fucking impossible. Dampe >:

This is very, very true. I get that 100%ing a game is supposed to be a challenge, but it shouldn't take away from the fun.

[darkvare]

This is very, very true. I get that 100%ing a game is supposed to be a challenge, but it shouldn't take away from the fun.
i agree one thing i did was the skulltulla glitch i wonder if the 3ds version will have it

[OxBlood]

Section8: Prejudice. I didn´t even know it was an XBL-Title...already liked the first one and this one is really nice too. Lots of ways to build your loadouts, the autoaim-mode is interesting (it´s activated heavy autoaim, lasts for about 3 seconds, everyone can do it and it takes quite long to recharge), the different ammo-mods for the guns are great, the spawning mechanic is plain fun...I like it a lot and I seem to be quite okay at it. Thanks to the autoaim for that partially but I really have trouble aiming at bouncing, flying soldierdudes normally...

[captain516]

Started up New Vegas again. I was trying to go for the "good" route, but I had to kill some innocent lady anyways :(

[Dimnos]

Just started up my no combat play through of new vegas. I need Boone. :\

[Dimnos]

Well I made it to Novac and only had to run from one group of viper gunslingers and a single radscorpion. The second group of gunslingers I came across apparently forgot about the mines they planted on the road. As I was cowering behind a truck trying to think of where to run, I hear a loud boom followed by the silence of no one shooting at me.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

:lol

[captain516]

:lol that's happened to me before too.

[Dimnos]

So what the hell do you do when your companion gets poisoned by cazadores? Stempacks do nothing most of the time while sometimes it hurts them? Ill give them an antivenom but they dont use it.

[Esuohlim]

Hella playing some Anti-Idle (http://www.kongregate.com/games/Tukkun/anti-idle-the-game) to procastinate, which I think I also got 10,000 Volt Bill hooked on

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

I'm going to play some more anti-idle tonight. I went through a growler of beer last tuesday night playing it. I need to upgrade my fighter guy a bunch still. Do pets die if you don't log in for a week milhouse?

[Esuohlim]

I don't think so, I think they stay at the percentage they were when you last played. I've been killing pets on purpose to get the achievements, so I've never kept a pet long enough to know though :(

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

I didn't know you get achievements for need feeding pets :( Time to die Ponce De Leon cat.

[kahljorn]

i dont understand the point of this game i dont even do anything ;/ just stand around all the time

[OxBlood]

That game is...awesome, thanks for bringing it up :) Love the pixelated style of the battlearena.

[darkvare]

good old games is giving away dragon sphere just to let you guys know

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

I still need to do better fights in anti idle. and my button keeps breaking in the button breaking game.

[Esuohlim]

By the time you get to like level 150 the features you can buy are few and far between, and then once you actually get to the necessary level you learn that the wait wasn't really worth it. But fuck man you're still loving the game :(

I'm at level 412 now and it's still way more fun than it has any right to be.

[LordSappington]

Playing New Vegas again. I have ED-E and Boone as companions this time around, so it's more like 'Everyone Within 200 Yards Dies: The Game'.

[Guitar Woman]

New Vegas is some good shit, even if it crashes hourly on me.

As per usual with Bethesda, it's horribly buggy; NPCs will regularly get stuck in tables, the ground, and buildings, usually while they're fighting you, making shooting their ears off at point blank doubly hilarious.

I think my favorite quirk is how sometimes, generic townsfolk NPCs are supposed to take part in scripted events, and when the event is over and they start their "wander around staring at walls" routine again they'll all perform a certain action before they take off: light up a cigarette, say "HI THERE," etcetera. The problem is, when there's more than one NPC involved in the event, they tend to do these things in perfect unison when it's over. It's really fucking unsettling to have a group of like 10 guys all turn towards you and go "YOU WILL BE UPGRADED; MAN WILL BECOME CYBERMAN" at the exact same time when you finish a quest, I've had it happen like 5 times already.

The stealing system still seems to be wonky as fuck, too. I picked up a cigarette butt at the Primm casino, and everyone in the building turned around and shot me in the face for it. Not that it matters, since my stealth skill is so high that I can basically crouch in direct sunlight 5 feet away from the Pope and nobody will notice me. Not even when I'm wearing a spacesuit with reflective fishbowl headgear.

[LordSappington]

My biggest problems with the game are tat it seems to be a lot harder to find decent guns and ammo than in Fallout 3, to the point where I was stuck with generic, weak guns until the very end, and that on the extreme opposite it's REALLY easy to get tens of thousands of caps later in the game with no trouble at all. I'd basically go kill a shitload of high-level enemies, take their weapons, and sell them to merchants all over the place. By the end of the game, I had something like 20,000 caps or something around that figure.
Also, the Fat Man seems like it got nerfed a lot.

[Guitar Woman]

Yeah, it's almost like the ability to launch multiple tactical nuclear strikes might be a bit unbalanced.

One thing I'm worried about is the nerfing of unarmed combat. It's been overpowered as all hell in every Fallout game so far, but I haven't started my traditional "Fist of the North Star" playthrough yet so I don't know whether they kept it the same as the other three. I'm seeing a lot of boxing aids that cause "fatigue damage," which sounds like some bullshit. When I punch a man in the face in Fallout, I want that face to explode into a fine mist and fertilize the plant life.

[LordSappington]

At least in Fallout 3, the Fat Man was like a 'Oh fuck this shit, I don't want to deal with this bullshit' weapon. In New Vegas, it's just a really expensive and impractical missile launcher.
The unarmed is buffed compared to Fallout 3. I used spiked knuckles for a while, and was doing a pretty nice amount of damage, even without buffing my unarmed stats at all. I'm sure if you take Bloody Mess and raise your unarmed a shitload, you'll be popping torsos to your heart's desire.

[executioneer]

yeah the spiked knuckles are the most overpowered weapon you can get in the early game, head explosion city

Weapons a problem to find in New Vegas? No no no. They are rather easy to coem by early. I think somewhere in Goodsprings or somewhere right around there is a hunting rifle you can get almost right from the start.

The Fat Man and mini nukes do seam WAY underpowered. My last playthrough, when I was working for the Legion, I was down in the BoS bunker and they have some turrets all over the place. Shot the turret as close range as you can be without killing yourself and it barely took any damage. After three nukes it still wasnt even half dead. WTF!

Unarmed in New Vegas is insanely overpowered. Without even getting to many of the unarmed perks even. The only one you might need is the piercing strikes or whatever where you punch through armor. Get that and kill the guy outside Caesars tent to get his ballistic fist, that doesnt take shotgun ammo, and you will kill just about anything in one punch. If you crit you will even punch deathclaw heads off in one punch.


Oh and the Legion slam ability is balls awesome.

[Dimnos]

Niffy tip about unarmed and those pesky turrets in the BoS bunker if you dont have the science skill to hack them... If you walk up to them and start punching, none of the other turrets or the BoS guys will give a shit. Only the turret you are attacking will fight back and if you just sidestep around it while you punch it will never be able to target you.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

Rented Dynasty Warriors 7. I hate using the horses now that I'm used to my RDR horse.
In DW7 ANYONE can use ANY weapon(as long as its not gender based) so it kind of takes the point away from trying different chars because of their weapons.

Also, Samurai Warriors 2 was still better.

[Guitar Woman]

So I guess the NCR's questlines are closed to me forever, since my first quest for Camp Forlorn Hope requires me to talk to an NPC at the power plant that died in a Legion raid

God fucking damnit

[kahljorn]

can't you just do a respawn cheat code or something? find his body and type, "resurrect"

fucking google reads minds. I typed in respawn npc and the first thing that showed up was new vegas :O

[darkkitten]

Im playing OOt but Im also at the end of act 4 on gears of War 2

[Esuohlim]

Dude that Anti-Idle just got majorly revamped, and although I'm aware that there's way more cool shit than before I have to get reused to everything again >:

[Guitar Woman]

Cheat codes are for girls, and I abandoned all that questing tomfoolery in favor of just going all Rambo on every Legion NPC I could find. I pretty much won the entire war by walking into Ceasar's camp and murdering everything that moved.

Of course, nobody seems to have noticed that he's dead, or that I did anything.

And why the hell do I get negative karma for stealing from people who are inarguably horrible, evil douchecanoes, like the Power Gangers or the Legion? That's like saying, "oh, you can't steal from the Daleks or the Nazis, that's totally underhanded!"

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

[LordSappington]

I just started an unarmed specialist character. Her name is 'ME RIKEY PUNCHY'; her strength, endurance, and agility are 10, her luck is 7, and everything else is 1. We consider her functionally retarded, and she is completely chaotic neutral. Every single living creature she encounters MUST be killed. No excuses. I've been giving her stats in unarmed, medicine, lockpick, and stealth.
So far, the starting town, Primm, the NCR tents OUTSIDE Primm, that outpost down South, and Nipton are now completely devoid of life, ever since that teenage girl with a mohawk bludgeoned all their inhabitants and anything along her way to death with her bare fists.
This is really fucking fun. I failed the main quest within five minutes of getting control of her in the game; the only thing left to do is kill.

[darkkitten]

Finnaly found a copy of DOOM 3 (for 10 bucks)

[Zhukov]

I've been meaning to finish Doom 3 for at least a decade.

[OxBlood]

Son of a bitch. I need to anti idle.

Im around level 340 I think and still liking it a lot for some mysterious reason. Crafted a nice trident with 130 damage that reaches across half the battle screen, my Pre-Explosion Armor seems to gain levels and for some reason I have a permanent 50% Reflect on me that seems way OP. Really theres no reason it should be there. Im confused.

Huh. So apparently the 50% Reflect is just the normal Rate that all Characters have...okay, why not. Craftet myself a nice 234 Atk Naginata, now I can almost idle the desert. The Sandgiant-thingy might get me though but luckily I found the protection ring again so my stuff is safe at least.

I didn't even know you could craft weapons :0 I need to level up my fighter a lot, I've only made it to the 3rd screen.

[OxBlood]

Yeah, crafting is new and nice so far. I still have my pre-explosion weapons but they suck in comparison to the new stuff I crafted. I also learned the Pixelthrow-Ultimate and then like the idiot I am, clicked it. 65.000 Pixels wasted on a white enemy...a well, the Pixels come in so fast now it hardly matters. And I already managed to save up the 1.000.000 Pixels for the bestiary :)

[Esuohlim]

Yeah, they really upped the rewards from fighting. I stay in one area at a time until I meet the achievement requirements, so really I've been using the Dark Gun exclusively and not having a problem being too weak by the time I move on to the next area. I'm at the Deadlands right now.

[Seven Force]

I just unlocked everything in Streets of Rage Remake. I love this game. :)

[Mad Melvin]

I bought my first XBOX360 recently and got a shitload of games I hear are good. Playing Red Dead Redemption and Alan Wake at the moment. Love 'em. Brutal Legend, Mortal Kombat, UFC2010 and Dead Rising are waiting for their turn.

[LordSappington]

Alright, fuck that last character. It's way too hard playing the game when you kill everyone, considering it's almost impossible to get steady supplies of stimpacks, armor, and weapons/ammo.

[OxBlood]

You could make an exception for specific vendors. Or you could have invested in repair instead of lockpick, I mean, who else but you is gonna repair your stuff when you kill the whole planet?

You don´t rely on the Gunrunners, not on the Energy-Chick either, it should be pretty easy keeping your weapons in shape and stockpiling a mountain of unarmed weapons and normal armors, right? Of course your caps are useless if your policy is to kill everything on sight :lol

I prefered my Mr. Gideon (also an Unarmed specialist). He was an asshole and evil but he was predictable. Chaotic evil maybe, I´m not very good with the D&D Morale-Compass. But I do know that I myself am pretty much true neutral :)

[LordSappington]

I pretty much made it her thing to kill everything on sight. She bludgeoned the doctor to death the instant I got control of her weapons.
The lockpick was so that I could get into safes and stuff, because those tend to have some pretty good loot.
It really didn't help that I had the NCR Rangers stalking me, and none of my weapons were good enough to do any decent damage. I was finally able to take one out when I circle-strafed and punched her into unconsciousness with boxing gloves. :lol
It was a fun character at first, but quickly became not worth it.

[OxBlood]

Alright, let´s see what Brink can do...

[Phoenix Gamma]

Brink's been getting some really iffy reviews. I'm avoiding it. Looks really sloppy.

Sword and Sorcery for iPhone/iPod Touch/iPad is required playing for anyone who owns one of those devices. It's like if the Ico/Shadow of the Colossus guy made a game for the app store, except a teeny bit funny, and with an emphasis on music.

A coworker of mine has no friends, so I did Portal 2's coop with him even though I beat it. It was kind of frustrating, but I think everyone needs to experience the puzzle where you slam into each other.

I think I might start up Mega Man X again. I just got this (http://www.xl-shop.com/xlshop/product_images/BAN/D-ARTS-ROCKMAN-1.jpg) in the mail yesterday and it's the bitchinest Mega Man figure ever. It even has extra faces and like a thousand points of articulation. I've been humming MMX music ever since now and I need to get it out of my system >:

[Guitar Woman]

Right, so, I loaded my main save, expecting to start in Vault 3 with Cass and ED-E tagging behind my kleptomaniac diplomat. Instead, I start in the middle of Goodsprings. In my underwear. At level 1. With the "generic, uncustomized male" face. All my skill points set to 15, and every SPECIAL attribute set to 5.

Autosave doesn't work, either, meaning my last salvageable game was 7 levels and two million hours ago.

God fucking damnit, Bethesda. Again. You've manhandled me for the last time, and no more shall I pay for the eldritch abortions of code that you attempt to pass off as finished product.

[kahljorn]

:lol at paying

[OxBlood]

Brink seems to have technical problems mainly, the bigges being constant freezes. I really hope they fix that soon.

Apart from that, the only thing that I really don´t like about the game is the aiming. It´s that fucking accellerated aiming FarCry2 used, it´s horrible for me. Why can´t they use the COD-aiming, about the only aiming that is perfect on consoles.
Anyway, those two things aside, I like Brink, especially the interaction of the different classes. You´d think that ammo is not that big an issue so the Soldier is just there to blow stuff up, but no, you only have about 3 clips of ammo on you so without a soldier around, you´re pretty much fucked.

[LordSappington]

I was excited for Brink; now that it's out, it looks like crap. The HUD is covered with too much crap, the characters look stupid, and the gameplay looks... boring. I like that it encourages teamwork, but I've heard the only way to make decent points is capturing objectives, and that sounds annoying.
I'm looking forward to Rage, though...

[Fathom Zero]

It's so pretty. Whereas rage is mehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[OxBlood]

I think making kills mostly worthless is about the only way to get the people to focus more on teamwork which is what Brink is about ;) It doesn´t encourage it, it´s absolutely mandatory if you want to get anywhere in the game. It´s pretty clear that, unless your main task is to defend a spot, you WILL lose if you don´t work together in a senseful manner.

What´s wrong with the HUD for you? Looks fine to me, all the info I need.

The thing I don´t get is that reviews describe the game as complex or sometimes even complicated...honestly, what the fuck? It´s just a normal objective-based teamshooter, what´s complicated about that? People like that must think Deus Ex is a work of witchcraft :D


Rage on the other hand...looks boring. SO boring. 7 hrs of mindless shooting. Again. Thanks but no thanks.

[LordSappington]

From what I can tell, you get little to no points for kills in Brink. If your teams sucks, then how are you supposed to get good EXP? At least with decent kill points you get something to walk away with.
And Rage looks pretty awesome to me; a tad generic, but it looks pretty as hell to me.
Oh, and as for the HUD, it looks WAY too damn crowded.

[OxBlood]

The idea is that you can´t rack up decent XP with a bad team so your´re forced to be not as bad ;) You can always grab a friend to play with, form a fireteam and try to do something useful like getting supportstations or something like that.

I still don´t see the crowded thing in the HUD, looks normal to me. Life, Objectives, Weapons, Equipment, Kill-Log, Minimap, Messages. Nothing special there as far as I´m concerned and you do need all that info anyway. Which parts would you get rid of?

The main thing with Rage is the graphics, right? No wonder it doesn´t do anything for me

[LordSappington]

Only problem with that is it depends on your friends having the game, too; none of my friends are ever online, or really buy many new games.
I'd put the objectives, kill-log, and messages at least on a separate page, like most games. I also constantly see icons popping up everywhere, which bugs me.
The graphics look great, but the environments are what really have me hooked. The Dead City trailer looks like a real city for once, not just a bunch of random cement skyscrapers. The buildings all look different and unique, and have decayed differently from each other. The guns look neat, too; I like how it looks like you can hip-fire with decent accuracy, but still have iron sights. I hate that in most games now; if you fire from the hip, even from five feet away, the bullets go all over the damn place. This is even worse when sniper rifles have a area the size of your screen without aiming, causing your bullet to go in the ceiling when you're inches away.
Didn't mean to rant there...

[OxBlood]

Ok that is a problem but they went through all that stuff to make the game enjoyable with strangers too...I´ll find out how well they did once more people have the game I guess.

The kill-log is pretty useless, on that I agree but the objectives and Icons are highly useful because they constantly keep you up to date on what has to be done. The objectives thing in the upper right shows you how far a repair or hackjob is and the time limit itself is pretty useful to know too because you only have a few minutes to fulfil a primary objective (which adds time again). The constant popups are important because they help your class do its job. You see the ammo-count of people when you´re a Soldier for example so you can tell when they run out. If they do, the game assigns you a little task to refill your comrades and if you do, you get bonus-xp.

A quick word about the progression-system. It´s quite different from what most games do. XP is only for levels and levels only unlock new Outfits (which serve no purpose other than looking nice on you), the two other body-types, both of which are unlocked very early on and skill points of which you get 20 total in your whole carreer.

Weapons and all weapon-attachments are gained exclusively through Challenges which are pretty easy and short Singleplayer-Levels. This is strange but good at the same time since weapons are mostly the same anyway and this way you can unlock every gun before even playing the campaign or any online match.

The hard thing is deciding which perks to get. I personally am more a Medic and Engineer type of player so it´s pretty simple for me but all classes have extremely useful skills for the team. Even the Operative can help out if there´s nothing else to do for him by spotting mines, hacking turrets and firewalling Supplypoints.



The things you say about Rage make me once again realize that I have no eye for details. It really gives me nothing if that city is realistic, I´m all for gameplay normally. The only optical style I really love is pixel-art :) Do Rage like that and you got my interest.

I totally agree on the Sniper Rifle though, I know why they do that thing with the Zero-Accuracy from the hip but it makes no sense at all thematically...

[LordSappington]

The gameplay looks pretty neat to me, as well; I haven't been reading up on it, but the trailers show a bunch of cool stuff like alternate ammo types, a bunch of neat gadgets and sub-weapons, like a spider drone that hops around, shooting things and making cool nosies, a sort of boomerang blade wheel thing, and a deployable turret. There'll probably be more.
Trying not to be some sort of pre-release fanboy, but I'm excited for it. I might also get Duke Nukem; I'm just trying to decide if I want to just go ahead and buy it, or wait a while. Only problem is every time I wait to buy a game, by the time I get it hardly anyone plays it.

[OxBlood]

Alright, played some Brink the past few days and enjoying it a lot.

It´s apparently unplayable if it pairs people from different regions of the world but SD is working on it. Played it with two to three guys from here and there were no problems at all, not even freezing. When it works, it´s a lot of fun and my initialy horrible aiming is getting better too ;)
Right now, I prefer to play Engineer or Medic like I always do but those are also the classes I bought the most skills with, plus one of the guys I play with loves his soldier so much that we got that class covered anyway.

Still, I think Brink would fare better if they hadn´t invested any money in the SP-Cutscenes and writing and it cost around 20, 30 bucks retail.

[Esuohlim]

All right, nerds, I'm faced with a frightening amount of free time right now so I'm going to try to get back into video games.

What are some really good offline computer RPGs that I've missed out on in the last five years? Offline because I'm not really interested in spending money and competing with other jerks in real-time

[kahljorn]

you should get into an o nline one thats free so we can play together :O :O

[Esuohlim]

The only online game I'm familiar with is POKER and the gay cunts at the fbi took it away forever :(

[kahljorn]

there's no online poker anymore?? that's gay :(

THERES ALWAYS ONLINE STRIP POKER WHICH CAN ALSO BE GAY ;) ;)

[Guitar Woman]

Fallout 3 and New Vegas. If you can only get one of them, get NV.

The STALKER series is also good, but it's one step above "unplayable" in terms of bugs.

The new Deus Ex is pretty close to being released, too.

[OxBlood]

I agree on those picks, you´ll get plenty of playtime for your money out of the Fallouts and Stalker Games though I would prefer Fallout.


Tried League of Legends for the first time today. Seems to be very good though I never liked playing with Randoms (do you guys actually say that in english or is that a german invention for random Players?) and I can only play it while I´m at work like I am right now but...we´ll see.

[Fathom Zero]

'Randoms' is the proper game terminology, yes. At least, that I know for LoL.

[OxBlood]

'Randoms' is the proper game terminology, yes. At least, that I know for LoL.

Ah okay. You never know with the german language, we love to make things up on the fly most of the time and in the end nobody knows where it came from in the first place...stupid poet-ancestry I guess :lol

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

and I can only play it while I´m at work like I am right now but...we´ll see.

.........I want to work in Germany.

[Fathom Zero]

That's all right. Half of English is making things up, and the other 2/3rds is stolen from every other language ever.

[OxBlood]

.........I want to work in Germany.

It´s more like I know my Bosses pretty well and they don´t mind as long as I do my daily work. Plus, I´m working in the gaming industry more or less so it kinda comes with the job. I have to try out so many games on this PC anyway, one more really doesn´t matter.

[dextire]

You're not helping to make your job sound less awesome. :)

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

I finally got the redeemed achievement in red dead redemption. Working on the undead nightmare now. I have to break a unicorn.

[darkvare]

holy cow i must admit the back to the future game has an awesome story

[Dimnos]

How far into it are you Vare? I started the 2nd part when it first came out but didnt get to far before getting distracted by something else. It didnt really seam like a game so much as a story you just clicked the mouse button to progress. No options, no exploration, nothing. Just click click click. I hope that changes. But yeah good story so far.

[darkvare]

i just finished episode 4 and yes episode 2 kinda took a different direction but 3 and 4 have more exploring and episode 3 is specially cool

[OxBlood]

...still having fun with Brink though I´m pretty sure I won´t be playing it a lot in the coming weeks once I trade my stuff in for L.A. Noire, RF Armageddon and Hunted...there´s so much worthless Shit in my collection that GS is taking in...I think I can live with that.


And I suppose I should continue Cthulhu saves the world, it´s really nice :)

[Mad Melvin]

Mortal Kombat. It is the best fighting game ever. End of fucking story.

[darkvare]

finally played mortal kombat online and is laggy as shit and half the time matches disconect :(

[dextire]

I'm guessing you're trying to play on the PS3? Same issues here trying to play Black Ops online.
Oh, well. At least we're getting a bunch of free stuff, right? :)

Also, I'm playing through Infamous as evil Cole and it's disappointingly similar to good Cole. :\

yeah playng on ps3 but i found out the games online sucks across both platforms

[Fathom Zero]

Who's excited for Dark Souls? Because after beating Demon's Souls numerous times and seeing the neato footage for it, I'm getting jumpy with excitement.

[OxBlood]

I was but after reading one of the interviews...it seems their only goal was to create "Try and Error - the Videogame". Didn´t sound like fun at all, having everything at once thrown at you all the time.

[Fathom Zero]

It sounds like Demon's Souls, but harder. I dig it because I thought Demon's Souls' difficulty was extremely hyped. It was my favorite game in recent years, though, even after that.

[kahljorn]

wehat game is that chojin? looks pretty sweet

oh neve4rmind i guess its vindictus? lol

[MLE]

It's a very nice game for a free MMO. I play it too.

[kahljorn]

i might try it out :O been looking into different mmorpgs

are there only 3 classes?

is there a lot of people that play?

[Dimnos]

Just beat Assassins Creed 2. What a shit pile of a story. Who the fuck were all these people and why the hell were they all involved? You need an army of conspirators to move a small treasure across Italy? I bet you would have a lot more success with that if you just hired one guy who could keep his pie hole shut about it.

Gameplay was alright though.

[MLE]

Yeah, there's a 4th class coming out soon which looks pretty awesome named Karok. I'll PM you my AIM name if you want complete details on the game.

[darkvare]

is it free to download too? cause stores that sell pc games around here the newest game they have is re 4

[Dimnos]

Looks pretty free to DL to me.

http://vindictus.nexon.net/Support/Client.aspx

[MLE]

Yep. They have a cash shop, but you can definitely play the game without using it.

[Zomboid]

From second playthrough of DA2 to MK to Bioshock 2, back to MK, and I'm probably gonna play through New Vegas again next.

[Mad Melvin]

I'm waiting until all the DLC's for New Vegas are released before starting it all over again. i have Dead Money already installed, but haven't played it yet.

[darkvare]

mmm nexon i wonder if my account still exists

[OxBlood]

Played some Terraria today, that thing people know as "Minecraft in 2D". It´s pretty nice, more geared towards action and exploration, less towards building though you can basically build anything you like on a 2D-Basis of course. 10 bucks well spent if you ask me.

[MarioRPG]

So my friend borrowed Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door from me so I figured, what the hell, I'll play Paper Mario 64 again.
Long story short, I'm in the endgame and want my other game back.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

HompEjHueXc

Like a poor mans super smash bros plus cartoon cartoon.

[Fathom Zero]

The latest Fallout DLC is a pile of MEH. It's the most boring of the Fallout 3/NV DLCs. Dead Money is absolutely excellent, though. Really fucking sad, too.

[Mad Melvin]

L.A. Noire. Propably the best Rockstar game so far. The atmosphere is spot on and the cases are very interesting. It's one of those games that sucks you in like a good book.

[Dr. Boogie]

I've heard that it is like a good book, in terms of linearity.

I'm planning on going through it then selling it before interest completely drops off, just like I did with RDR.

[Mad Melvin]

Yeah, I'm guessing there's not much replay value, but I'm just happy to play a game where you actually care about the characters and the story.

[OxBlood]

Also playing LA Noire. Very nice atmosphere though I of course know neither the late 40s nor L.A. but still, it´s quite enjoyable. I am having problems with the questionings though.
Now it´s not that I can´t tell when they´re lying, my english is good enough for things like that, it´s linking the lie to a piece of evidence. Like the very first lie in the tutorial with the woman in the shoestore, there´s no relation between what she says and the evidence presented to prove that she was lying.

I don´t get it. The same thing happens later in the first traffic-case too.
You know Mr. Morgan bought the Pig because the reciept was in the back of the car but that doesn´t mean he was at the scene, again, no relation. He might´ve bought the pig, put it in the trunk, drove the car back to the suspect and left while forgetting the reciept. He´s involved, no doubt, but there´s no proof whatsoever that he was at the trainyard.

Am I expecting to much logic here or is my own logic just flawed?

[kahljorn]

been playing League of legends

I DESTROY WITH ALISTAR ITS HILARIOUS

FUCKING HILARIOUS

[Mad Melvin]

Also playing LA Noire.

Yeah, that spoiler bit baffled me too. There might've been a date of the receit though and since it was in the trunk, it was propably thrown there after taking the pig out. Still, it's all circumstantial.

It's best to choose "doubt" when you're sure the suspect is lying but the evidence just isn't there.

[Dimnos]

Kahl, add me on LoL. Im Dimnos on there too.

[MarioRPG]

Saw the last 3 cases of L.A. Noire, seemed like an alright game.

[darkvare]

add me to kahl i'm donvare there

[Fathom Zero]

If you're stuck trying to get this particular achievement in LA Noire, I suggest watching this video.

H0eHWKS0AUo

[k0k0]

Playing LA Noire here too. It reminds me a lot of point and click games, but with the whole interrogation thing added to it. It's a really great game. One thing that does bother me is how my guy can be talking normally to a person and then when I hit the 'doubt' button, he will sometimes get really dickish with an attitude. I mean, sure, I suspect they're lying, but I don't exactly know that they are for a fact and I'm just laying into them.

[Ex Leper]

Since I'm stuck in the past i recently got a copy of this, unfortunately since it's an old game I paid about the same as a newer game.
