What are you playing right now?

[OxBlood]

Demon's Souls? Block, Roll, Block Roll, that´s really all there is to it apart from knowing how to exploit the bosses :D Just give it some time, it´s getting a lot easier the more you play.

And playing offline is a good idea. You can´t see the other player´s hints anymore but you also can´t get invaded by other players when you need it the least.

[timrpgland]

Sam, we have to finish MUA2 on coop bastard.

[Sam]

YOU ARE NEVER ON BASTARD

[timrpgland]

Stay on AIM longer. I missed your message yesterday. :( :(

[bigtimecow]

on the final stage / boss of rayman 2 and slowly working through bionic commando rearmed. i need to take a break from disc based games so i can finally justify all the money i've spent over PSN :(

[Microshock]

Uncharted 2. Full game. It's a cinematic masterpiece so far, I'm only about an hour in but I love it

[LordSappington]

Uncharted 2. Full game. I've already gotten a trophy; this was totally worth the money.
Fixed.
Also, I'm playing ODST. I kinda like it, and kinda don't. They cut out a lot of things; you can't pilot Wraiths, and they took out several weapons, like the Battle Rifle and the Assault Rifle, for the most part. When you DO find one, it's next to worthless, since you get two or three spare magazines, and ammo is few and far between. They also took out duel-wielding. I could understand this for the SMG and other automatic guns, but why the PLASMA PISTOL?
The campaign is kind of interesting; it's almost free-roaming while you're playing as The Rookie, which is fun and annoying; it's fun to not be stuck on a linear path, but it's easy to get lost for upwards of an hour, like I did.
I haven't gotten around to multiplayer yet, besides Firefight (which is AWESOME), but I've heard it's exactly the same as Halo 3.

[Guitar Woman]

Someone told me that in ODST there's this AI who uses electronic street signs and shit to point you in the right direction, so try following billboards.

Or looking on GameFAQs, lol

I did need to use gamefaqs to find that damn sniper rifle on the power lines, though.

san andreas. have the entire map open and doing missions with woozie working towards a robbery of a rival casino. all while wearing a gimp suit. GROVE STREET

You know what? San Andreas was a goddamn great game. I should play it again.

can i haa dis?

[Phoenix Gamma]

I've been getting into free games lately, despite the fact that I pretty much pirate everything anyways.

A friend directed me towards a neat little flash game called Seed of Destruction. It's a game about a cowboy riding a giant sperm that beats the shit out of planes and tanks. You deflect missiles by flicking your tail at them, and there are a few different enemies that require different strategies. It's just a time waster, but I enjoyed it.

I also downloaded Squid Yes, Not So Octopus, which is a lot like Geometry Wars; simple arena shmup. I'm downloading Squid Harder right now to see what kinda upgrades they added. EDIT: Ow, my eyes. Fun game, but mostly just "watch shit explode while you hear funny phrases". Everyday Shooter is still my favorite arena shmup.

Also, Persona for PSP. Game's seriously dated, but a lot more "SMT"-y than Persona 4, which is good.

[stevetothepast]

Anybody know any good indie XBLA games. I've had 200 MSP for the longest time and I'm just itchin' to spend 'em.

[Microshock]

There's a game for 1 dollar called I MAD3 A GAME WITH ZOMBIEES. I have no idea what the fuck it is, but it's a dollar

[stevetothepast]

ya I saw that, but I'm really not interested in zombies.

[Phoenix Gamma]

It's a twin stick shooter by the Dishwasher dude. I played a bit on my roommate's 360. It's pretty fun. I got a good laugh out of it, and for a buck, that's pretty darn good.

[Dimnos]

Valyria Chronicles. Was loving this game right up to the point that the retarded bitch with the beam gatling lance gayed it all up. >:

[Fathom Zero]

Far Cry 2. I hit a gazelle with a go-kart, then lit a field full of soldiers on fire. I threw a grenade into the back of the truck and it exploded into the sky. Then I attacked a train depot to get blood diamonds.

I love this game.

[Phoenix Gamma]

Valyria Chronicles. Was loving this game right up to the point that the retarded bitch with the beam gatling lance gayed it all up. >:

Aw, that mission's easy. Just park the Edelweiss in a trench and hit her with the mortar each turn. She'll be stunned until it's the enemy's turn (so you can run past her.)

At least, that's how I remember it. Really, once you've got enough people on the other side of the battlefield, it's just a matter of keeping that bitch in place with the Edelweiss. The enemy base is pretty easy to infiltrate once you've made it across.

I think that's the last "normal" mission before the fights start getting a little weird.

[Dimnos]

Its not that the mission was hard. I just didnt care for the sci-fi / fantasy (whatever you want to call that bitch) ancient civilization with magical super powers being thrown into the mix. Couldnt have just been a bad ass war game without getting anigayed with a tired out cliche?

I still like the game. Its to bad ass for that one dumb bitch to bring it down.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

Trying to get alt costumes for MUA2 and getting disapointed by them. Wolverine alt costume is just Hugh Jackman. Storm's is cool, Thor's is cool. Juggernaut's looks like a drill.

BUT THE VALKYRIA ARE A METAPHOR FOR THE SUPPOSED "MASTER RACE" FROM WORLD WAR II, ATTEMPTING TO OPPRESS GALLIA, WHICH IS ACTUALLY SWITZERLAND. SO ACTUALLY IT'S VERY DEEP, YOU'RE JUST DUMB, ACTUALLY >:

Fair warning, that whole race thing becomes pretty important at the end of the game and kinda brings down the second half. Hence "Valkyria Chronicles" and not "Plain Old Awesome Wartime Chronicles". But the missions get pretty fucking awesome, too. There's this land dreadnought you have to pile your soldiers onto, and you have to use this clever trick with the tanks and the landscape to beat it. And this crazy minefield you have to finagle your way through.

They definitely make up for the stupid story with some great combat. I still haven't tried the DLC yet. Hard Mode is supposed to totally change a lot of the missions, and the side story with Edy, Marina, and Gay Bender looks awesome.

[LordSappington]

Castlevania: Circle of the Moon. I forgot how badass GBA games were.

[OxBlood]

Trying to get alt costumes for MUA2 and getting disapointed by them. Wolverine alt costume is just Hugh Jackman. Storm's is cool, Thor's is cool. Juggernaut's looks like a drill.

What I don´t like is that they even dumbed THAT part of the game down. From 4 Costumes that have an actual impact on your character to 2 costumes of which one looks stupid and doesn´t do anything anymore...

[stevetothepast]

ancient empires 2 on a cell phone. It is fantastic, I played it about 2 years ago and forgot just how good it is. It really keeps your interest until the end.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

What I don´t like is that they even dumbed THAT part of the game down. From 4 Costumes that have an actual impact on your character to 2 costumes of which one looks stupid and doesn´t do anything anymore...

Agreed. I've only played a bit of MUA 1 but it was on Wii :(

I might go and get a copy of X-Men Legends 2 because I never beat it.

Going through Legendary mode and just demolishing people using
Deadpool
Hulk
Thor
Phoenix

Deadpool + Phoenix and even Deadpool + Thor's fusion equals massive kills.

[Zomboid]

Whaaaat? The alt costumes are down to 2 and they don't do anything anymore? :(

That sucks so much. The only reason I used "Modern" Human Torch was because of the huuuuge increase in fire damage.

[Phoenix Gamma]

So, Half Minute Hero. It's a game where every level is its own self-contained RPG, and you have 30 seconds to beat it or the world ends. It's pretty funny, and a few of the levels are really clever, since they run the gamut of silly RPG cliches.

I haven't tried the other modes yet. One of them has you controlling the villain, and another has you playing the princess in a shmup (with a 30 second curfew, of course).

Oh! And A Boy and His Blob! That game is fantastic.

[Guitar Woman]

http://img235.imageshack.us/img235/7736/800pxvehiclesdeployed.jpg

[Phoenix Gamma]

Oh, I also downloaded Lucidity. Between that and Boy and His Blob, I'm having massive cute attacks.

Lucidity is pretty cool. Fucking gorgeous graphics. Kind of a sappy story, and the mechanics get frustrating since the mouse controls "snap" to a grid and the keyboard controls are uselessly slow. Still, it's got all the appeal of an "art game" (clever use of story, very pretty) without any obtuse bullshit metaphors. Pretty fun for $10.

[OxBlood]

Whaaaat? The alt costumes are down to 2 and they don't do anything anymore? :(

Yeah that and the limitation to 4 active Powers per Character really bug me out. Sure, most powers were useless or copies of other powers in the first game but at least they were there...

That and Deadpool wasn´t useless after beating the game on normal...

[stevetothepast]

Miner dig deep. fun so far.

[OxBlood]

So I beat the first 5 Bosses in Monster Hunter FU and it´s still fun. I guess that´s a good sign. Still, I want a version of the game on the big consoles goddamnit. That would be extremely nice, being able to play online, good graphics and all that aparently unimportant stuff...

[darkvare]

there's monster hunter tri coming out for wii for whatever that's worth

[Phoenix Gamma]

Got a lot further in Boy and his Blob. Man, that game is fantastic. Really good puzzles, really good challenge, and the animation is top notch. The different abilities are really fun, and the total lack of tutorial and cutscenes is a nice surprise. Only complaint is that Boy can't jump for shit, and Blob's pathfinding is a little crummy.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

The demo for Brutal Legend. Seems like a hack and guitar(Slash) but pretty funny. That and the gameplay demo ends with 3 Inches of Blood's Deadly Sinners which is really the thing that sold me. I haven't seen him in it yet but I've heard Lemmy is a main adversary too. :rock

[Chojin]

Brutal Legend. It's probably the best game released this month. :posh

[LordSappington]

I'm playing as many Castlevania games as I can before Halloween. :rock

[OxBlood]

Yeah I know, but I don´t have one of those toasters and I don´t want to pay money for that gimmicky SD-console, even though there are some games that I´d like to play.


And: Hm. A Castlevania Halloween Special in my gaming-schedule MIGHT be fun. Interesting idea.

[Dr. Boogie]

Demon's Souls. It's the best looking Rogue-like game to ever break my balls.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

Brutal Legend. It's probably the best game released this month. :posh

Trying to get through Legendary on MUA2 as quickly as possible so I can pick Brutal Legend up. My roommate is slowing me down considerably though because he's terrible at it.

[bigtimecow]

COLLEGE :tear

[Zhukov]

Order of War, which is just like Company of Heroes but on a slightly grander scale. It's pretty good, and fills my WW2 lust quite well, but the Germans all have strong and highly annoying American accents.

[darkvare]

i was playing battletoads in the snes and then i got to the rat with the circular saw :(

[stevetothepast]

I'm playing SMB3 tonight, no whistles.

[Guitar Woman]

Tonight I found out that a shit ton of people still play Halo PC, I just had an option selected that didn't show about 90% of the servers.

I think the best moment was either stopping a flag-runner in a warthog, post-mortem, who died from a sticky in his passenger seat a few seconds after he ran me down, or blowing up a jeepful of dudes gunning for me with the rocket launcher and making the car do a medal-worthy flip over my head.

Shit is so cash.

[Tadao]

Shit is so cash.

Don't say things like this.

[Fathom Zero]

There's this bearded asshole that I know that says it.

He's very white. And fat.

[Guitar Woman]

IT'S MEANT TO BE IRONIC

[Fathom Zero]

SO HE MEANS, AS WELL.

That makes it even worse.

[Tadao]

I think GW meant Idiotic.

[Guitar Woman]

I tried to play some Mario Strikers Charged tonight, but my internet is derped and I forgot that the AI for single player has the ability to turn on god mode whenever the fuck it feels like it.

Which is all the time. It's like having Durandal on your friends list!

[Phoenix Gamma]

Beat the first three modes of Half Minute Hero. Hero mode is really, really, really fun. I can usually crank out two full quests in a short bus ride, but since they're just condensed games, I still feel pretty accomplished when I beat each boss. Plus, the story is hilariously epic, and some of the quests are really clever.

Evil Lord and Princess modes were a bit depressing, though their stories were a little funnier. I'm working on Knight mode now, which is a bit strange, since it's the only game where you're actually trying to make the timer reach zero.

[Ozzman313]

Fallout 3: Broken Steel...been playing the game for 2 1/s months now, nothing else.

[stevetothepast]

that must get boring

[Ozzman313]

Barely boring

[LordSappington]

I want to get Point Lookout badly.
I just heard about IWBTG. I love it.

[Fathom Zero]

Point Lookout is fun, but a little barren.

The Red Veil quest was possibly one of the most fun I've played in a while, actually. It might be my favorite quest in Fallout 3.

[LordSappington]

I've heard the mutants (or whatever they are) are ridiculously hard, to the point that three of my friends have given up on the game entirely.

[Fathom Zero]

Nothing about Fallout 3 is too hard. Your friends are pussies.

Do the Plik's Safari quest first and get the Dismemberer. You should have a level 100 Melee Weapons skill by the point you get Point Lookout, so it shouldn't be a problem.

Also, I dunno whether to build a gaming rig or get an Xbox 360. Choices, choices.

[LordSappington]

I prefer consoles, simply because it's to quickest and easiest way to just grab games and start playing online; no muss, no fuss. I will say that computers definitely have a LOT of awesome options, though.

[Ozzman313]

I feel the same way here, altough I'd love to have Mods for Fallout

[Guitar Woman]

Day of Defeat Source: Counterstrike with WWII skins

Halo 3: ODST: Didn't play the campaign past the first flashback because fuck trying to thumbstick aim on Heroic level AI :< Multiplayer was pretty fun, even though there were a grand total of like 4 different weapons on every map out of what, 15 in the campaign? I didn't really think it was as good as Halo 2, although I was noticeably less completely horrible at it.

Also, note to Halo 3 players: Make sure you veto every fucking game mode that isn't CTF or Team Slayer so there is absolutely no variety ever all right

[OxBlood]

Bought the english Goty-Edition of Fallout 3, finally no more german voices and all the DLC.

AND Borderlands. Hell that game is SO goddamned good. Diablo with guns done right. Those guys sat down, though of how to do a FPS-Hack&Slay with randomized Items, NG+ and usefull skilltrees to near perfection and then DID it. Finally.

[harrystyris]

1.Cricket 2007
2.Need for speed carbon

These are some games which i am playing right now.

[Chojin]

that's an awfully suspicious signature you have there, harry

[Zhukov]

Cricket 2007? You would have to be a bot to enjoy that.

[Phoenix Gamma]

Just beat Castlevania III. Aside from the shitty controls on the stairs, it's pretty fun. And it's got a kickass soundtrack of course.

[Babs]

So... how the hell did you beat Dracula?

[Guitar Woman]

He used savestates, like a gay

[Phoenix Gamma]

No, played it on Virtual Console. Each form only has one move, so if you learn how to dodge that, it's pretty easy. The last form is tricky if only cause of the pits in the middle. Made me wish I kept Grant for his abilitiy to change direction in midair.

[Dimnos]

Its super easy with the priest bitch. You just use her bouncing ball ability and then focus on dodging around.

[Phoenix Gamma]

I only had her fire spell :(

[Dimnos]

Your probably better off. If I remember correctly once you get it the game becomes almost boring from being so easy. :(

Currently Im flip flopping between Uncharted 2 and Borderlands. Both games kick a ton of ass and I recommend them to anyone.

[Phoenix Gamma]

Got Doc's Punch Out on Wii. Also, import of Sin and Punishment 2. I have no idea what's going on (again) but the game's pretty cool, and a lot easier now that the controls are actually designed for the Wii.

[Fathom Zero]

I'm trying to play TF2. But it's stupid.

[Zhukov]

I'm thinking of getting DJ Hero for the Wii (xbox broken), has anyone played it on any of the systems?

Currently playing Blood Bowl.

[Guitar Woman]

I can't play TF2 anymore without getting a migrane.

I should be hating Valve for ruining the game, but really, I'm thankful that I was able to beat out my horrible virtual opiate addiction.

[Dimnos]

Currently playing Blood Bowl.

What do you have Blood Bowl on? PC?

[Zhukov]

Yeah, PC. What's your buddy code?

[Guitar Woman]

Call of Duty 4.

It's all right. British Spec-Op levels are cool, US Marine levels are boring.

I'm not playing online because fuck that.

[Phoenix Gamma]

I'm thinking of getting DJ Hero for the Wii (xbox broken), has anyone played it on any of the systems?

I played a little of it for PS3 at my friend's place.

It's...weird. It's a lot more confusing than the other rhythm games out there. You definitely need to "grow into" the weird controller. But DJing is something I've always wanted to try, so it was kinda neat.

I downloaded the mash-ups from the game. Some are kinda meh, but some are really awesome. Playing to the beat of "Ice Ice Baby" mixed with "You Can't Touch This" was weird. Daft Punk actually made a few of the mash-ups too, though I think all the tracks they made are of other artists' songs.

Online cod4 is boring, all the multiplayer levels look the same. The single player campaign is fun as hell though, except in veteran. It just seems like in veteran, your the only soldier that the fucking ragheads are trying to kill.

Carnival Games sure are fun yep

I've been playing it on the Wii for a few hours and I think it's pretty good. I've got two (dusty) turntables that I scratch on for fun rather than any talent, but I can still say with some authority that the game is in no way related to actual turntablism. I'm not complaining though. The music is of a very high quality, I thought, even though I dislike a lot of the artists, and it seems that there is a lot to master in the game before I will get bored (I'll stop playing it in a week, probably). I've never played guitar Hero, so it might be easier if you have matered that.

The place I got it from gave away a free Daft Punk album with every copy, so I was reasonably pleased with that.

[Dimnos]

Someone buy Dragon Age, preferably on PC, and let me know how it is. I need to know if I should buy this or just be happy playing Borderlands for now.

[Sam]

I GOT IT ON 360 BUT I HAVEN'T PLAYED IT YET :tear

[Dimnos]

Well quit talking to me and go play it already. :rolleyes

[Phoenix Gamma]

the game is in no way related to actual turntablism. I'm not complaining though.

Still enjoying an all-english-language playthrough of Fallout 3...man the Addons can make a low level dude pretty overpowered pretty fast but who am I to complain about power?

[Fathom Zero]

I did the Operation: Anchorage stuff first, before anything else in the game, and I just went around slaughtering everybody with Jingwei's Shock Sword when I got out. I killed every Outcast and many many others.

[Zhukov]

The fucking crossfader on the DJ Hero controller is fucking pissing me off now. You can't flow from left to right easily because there is a "middle" part that the fader slots into. You have to go left - middle - right, rather than just left - right.

Still, just playing some awesome BEATSIE BOYS mixes and am impressed enough to ignore it.

[Fathom Zero]

That's dumb. Just dumb.

[OxBlood]

I did the Operation: Anchorage stuff first, before anything else in the game, and I just went around slaughtering everybody with Jingwei's Shock Sword when I got out. I killed every Outcast and many many others.

Which would suck if it was your first character I think...I already played through the game twice...without doing all the quests, so I don´t really care if I get too strong too soon anymore, no reason to play fair :D

[Dimnos]

You went and got my hopes up. Then BAM, escort level.

I was talking about the Marines getting nuked and stuff later. :)

Right now I am playing assassin's creed - this game is beautiful, but really wish it had a subtitles option. somewhat hard to understand, and i generally play video games in a room with a lot of people, so you know what i mean. but yeah, controls are nice, gameplay is nice, direction is a little confusing, and yeah, i understand what everyone was saying about repetition

[Chojin]

i like to playing games too

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 by myself :(

[Guitar Woman]

I was playing Bioshock, but my Xbox had other plans. Namely, dying.

I don't know why I didn't think of just buying a bunch of film and spamming the camera the first time I played it. Gunfights are way less annoying and Half-Lifey when you do 3x damage to everything; otherwise you might as well walk up to enemies and start spitting on them. You also get free tonics, the best ones being the wrench boosters. I stacked those on top of the 50% damage increase you get for studying Bouncers and got stupid powerful to the point where I was taking out Spider Splicers in one or two hits.

[Microshock]

Beat Modern Warfare 2. Its more of COD4 style gameplay and scenarios and its a great game

[Fathom Zero]

The campaign in Call of Duty 4 was suitably epic, I could only imagine that Modern Warfare 2's is just as much.

:wink

I hate playing games like that with other people. I'm greedy and like to take all of the coins and things.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

Activision says they're blocking the PC version because it apparently broke the street date. Because it would be so terrible if the people who bought the game early got to play it early, too.

Isnt the "street date" today? And if Steam has yet to release it how has it broken that?

[Tadao]

It was all over the tv yesterday that it came out today.

[Dr. Boogie]

Then I guess they're just dicks?

[Tadao]

Pretty much. I bought the CD's at Target today, it requires Steam, Steam is blocking the game. I've heard of other playing though. I'm still in the middle of downloading the game off of Steam though. I get the feeling that because I already have a Steam account I can't install properly, while my brother who had to create a Steam account, got to install both cd's (It never asked for my 2nd cd) and had a much smaller download and already played a few matches.

I fucking hate Steam.

[kahljorn]

hmm they're blocking it? Sounds more like maybe there's an error in something of yours

[kahljorn]

http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1020239

have you tried that? i dunno i guess it didn't work for other people...

[Tadao]

I'm still downloading it from Steam I'm afraid to erase everything and try again because steam took my key code and then told me I can't play till the 12th. I don't want them to block my key because it's getting entered twice, I'd much rather take the 24 hour download and play on the 13th then risk all kinds of added bullshit.

I should have been able to just install my cds and play. I was never gonna buy from Steam again after the COD:WAW bullshit I went through with them, looks like I'm gonna be stuck with them if I want to play PC games now. Bad patches and all.

[kahljorn]

that sucks ;/ I'd say you could try downloading some torrents, at least for 1st player, but you might end up getting banned for that too :lol

[Fathom Zero]

Naw, it'll still be available if you delete it. It's attached to your Steam account, whatever that is.

[Microshock]

Wait, isn't the retail version activated thru steam? So the retail version is the steam version?

Tadao, should teach you for the future

[Fathom Zero]

It uses the Steamworks API which, as far as I know, requires Steam.

[Tadao]

Wait, isn't the retail version activated thru steam?
Yes

So the retail version is the steam version?

Pretty much, everyone will patch through Steam and all that, or so I'm assuming.

Tadao, should teach you for the future

Nice :lol

Strange that Steam blocks the game...I mean the streetdate was yesterday, on the 10th. At least over here. Nice game but the Campaign is just so goddamn cheesy I can´t help but laugh about it...might have to do with the dub...imagine NO one in the game had any kind of accent, just plain english...that´s what it sounds like..well, just in german.

[Fathom Zero]

Steam starts selling it tomorrow. I think it's a Steam thing, publishing-wise.

Saw: The Video game.

Basically it's a re-skinned Silent Hill 5. Konami you sneaky bastards.

I'm still waiting on my MW2...

I thought it was a smart idea to get it mailed to my house.

I'm not going to get it until the 15th or 16th.

apparently there are about 200 copies sitting on the shelf at futureshop.

Beat Uncharted 2 on crushing last night and I almost have all the treasures. I think I'm up to 90.

[darkvare]

i got a charming little game called machinarium

[Phoenix Gamma]

Just beat Tower of Heaven. It's a really cool indie game that looks like Cave Story for Gameboy. Basically, you're this blobby guy who needs to climb a tower to stop God from making too many rules. As you progress, God makes more rules, like "Don't touch the sides of blocks" or "Don't walk right", and the levels get pretty clever. Doesn't take more than an hour to beat, if that.

Uncharted.

I'm struck by how underpowered all the weapons are, especially compared to the pistol. Also, whoever designed the jetski sequences should be thrown under a bus.

[OxBlood]

Finished the MW2-Campaign yesterday...Gods that Story was bad...it made no sense at all, just some missions held together by that paper-thing parody of a bad Tom Clancy book about... what was the story about anyway?

Ah well, doesn´t matter, more Team Deathmatch for me which means: More funny accents to listen to :)

[darkvare]

has any of you played league of legends? i wanna play it but it seems like it has endless updates

I know you're from Germany so I have a funny story for you. I think its funny at least. I'll throw it in the chat thread though.

[Tadao]

Yeah, the MW2 plot looked like it was gonna be good, but never got there. I liked the maps though. I hear MW1 campaign was way better, but I never got around to playing it.

[executioneer]

dragonage, m.f.ers

it's pretty fun so far, story/characters/dialogue kind of feel like a terry brooks/david eddings collaboration if that makes any sense

[LordSappington]

Borderlands. I am loving the Siren so much.

[Fathom Zero]

You can get Overlord and Overlord II, as well as the Raising Hell expansion on Steam for $8.75 this weekend. Crysis and Crysis Warhead are 50% off. I only picked up the Overlord stuff, though. I never got to play 2 and only a bit of 1. There's a ton of crazy deals on there, all the time.

Also; SERIOUS SAM HD IS AVAILABLE FOR PREORDER WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOo

[Guitar Woman]

I went back and finished Metroid Prime 3 after two years of not giving a shit. I probably should have just left well enough alone, because I was practically at the end and doing the scavenger hunt for the engergy cells and then going to Phaaze just left the fresh, horrible taste of horribleness in my mouth, as opposed to dim memories of a game that was only mediocre.

Hopefully Team Ninja is playing this and taking notes on how not to do it.

[darkvare]

i got my ps3 but right now i only have stranglehold and resistance 2 my psn id is donvarone fell free to add me except microshock

Bullshit (http://www.i-mockery.com/forum/showthread.php?t=69701732)

Ah, finally here, got it on wednesday and have been playing the crap out of it, too much i think.
It's just a great game, something i think people will be playing years from now perhaps especially with the integration with killzone.com and clans and tournaments and all the classes and ranks,etc.

It's also GORGEEOUS. Sometimes you just stare and stare because it's so beautiful.

Single player is also pretty good although im at a frustrating part, the story isnt the greatest but i really did feel the pain the characters went thru.

Get this game, everyone else on your friends list will.

[Dr. Boogie]

I think what he meant was that he doesn't play Killzone 2, so much as he puts his penis through the hole in the CD and humps the shit out of it.


But I'm getting off topic here...



Beat the MW2 single player campaign. Lot of interesting set pieces, but like Oxblood said, there really isn't a story going on. Just a series of contiguous events that we are led to believe are related somehow.

[Fathom Zero]

DR. BOOGER IT IS NOT A CD IT IS THE INFINITELY SUPERIOR BLURAY OF WHICH ONLY THE PS3 HAS THE POWER TO HANDLE PROPERLY.

[darkvare]

tomorrow i'm getting my friend to lend me killzone 2 since he is pretty much an mgo junkie right now

[Fathom Zero]

Metal Gear Online is fucking nuts. It's got a level of post-release support from the devs that is only rivaled from the likes of Criterion and Burnout Paradise.

I have yet to beat it but...

At one point the Russians launched a nuke from a sub? Maybe not a nuke but a missile that everyone was shitting themselves over. Then it seamed to drop off and they didnt ever say what happened with it? Now when I was at this part it was like 3am saturday morning so I could have been half asleep and missed something. Anyone know?

[OxBlood]

That

was Price, not the Russians. That nuke...somehow, possibly by magic, stopped that war between Russia and the US so they could focus on Makarov...at least that´s what I think happened.

...the whole story doesn´t ever start to make sense, it´s just a messed up puddle of goo.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

Yeah I knew Price went into the sub but I didnt think he was the one who launched it. I remember standing outside the sub guarding it so Russians couldnt go in after him? He was yelling at me that the silo doors were open or some shit. I got the impression he was trying to stop the launch?

[Dimnos]

AND WTF was Price doing in a gulag anyway?! How the hell did he get there and what was he doing? Didnt you go in there to get out "a guy" who Makarov hated or something? Wouldnt you know who that guy is before you went in? So you wouldnt be surprised to find Price when you went in? Good thing the missions and the multi-player is as fun as it is because the story sure isnt helping.

[Sam]

STEP UP AND GET YOUR ASS BEAT NASTY-STYLE. >:

[Dr. Boogie]

I have yet to beat it but...

Price snuck aboard the sub and launched the nuke at Washington. The nuke detonates in orbit, and the resulting EMP disables all the Russian air and land vehicles, as well as every other electronic device in the city (such as your red dot and holographic gun sights).

Prior to the sub mission, Price talks with Shepard about putting out oil fires by causing nearby explosions, and you see computer graphics of the nuclear missiles in the sub. The game loves to hint at what's happening with euphemisms like this.

Whether doing all this was exactly Price's intention is hard to say on account of the crap writing.

you will encounter him many times. Enjoy the game its excellent!

I think the one yelling was MacTavish. He was like "the silo-door are opening Price! Puh-riiiiice!" and Price just said "...good." and launched the nuke...

Anyway, the multiplayer mode is a lot of fun again, but I tend to shift from fun to genuine anger (not rage, I don´t do rage with Videogames), filled with lots and lots of german and english insults and curses (which only the other two guys on the Teamspeak can her thankfully) to wondering if the world is filled with the singing english kids and american mumblers mentioned somewhere up there. OR if they come from a non-english-speaking country and just TRY to speak it...but mostly it´s the 3 year olds, yes.
Oh and then there´s the french of course. No one understands one lick of what they say and they like it that way it seems...

[Fathom Zero]

I have most fun playing with guys from the UK. The majority of Americans bite total ass.

[OxBlood]

I liked both...I mean the american part of the game IS a lot like C&C Red Alert in terms of setting and fun ^^

[Fathom Zero]

Red Alert is righteous. Speaking of which, did you happen to play the Red Alert 3 expansion?

[OxBlood]

No, I didn´t like the Campaign of RA3 that much so I passed on the expansion.

[Zhukov]

Is it still only avaliable through download?

HAI

[Guitar Woman]

So WiiWare has a bunch of demo versions of popular games out. It only took about 3 years before they realized downloadable demos would be a good idea, but hey, better late than never, right?

The only one I've played so far is the Final Fantasy: My Life as a Darklord one, and it's basically that minigame from FF7 where you'd put a bunch of soldiers in front of Fort Condor to stop Shinra from coming in and wrecking your shit, and then you'd hope they'd get attacked in an order where they'd be effective. Only with graphics that aren't horrifying and actually let you know what the fuck's happening.

[Phoenix Gamma]

I keep meaning to get Lostwinds 2. Game looks awesome.

LittleBigPlanet came out for PSP. Been playing that. I don't have access to a PS3 during school semesters, so I'm happy to have this. And on the go, to boot!

[executioneer]

l4d2

kind of hate it, guys. can't really see how having human teammates would help it, either

[Sam]

Willie you should just play with me and Kahl, I am decent and Kahl is really good at it and we have a good fun time.

EXCEPT WHEN WE PLAY VERSUS MODE AND IT'S FULL OF FUCKING ASSSSSSSHHHAATTTTSSS >:

I WILL BE ON RIGHT NOW.

FOR YOU.

[executioneer]

is there any way i could MP dragonage with yall instead

l4d2 is like one big giant escort mission, with all the good parts of the game scraped out

[OxBlood]

Sounds...disgusting actually. Escort Missions are the devil. As are time limits. Curse them.

[bigtimecow]

yes, he did

[LordSappington]

My point is, the FIRST one just now got to $25 dollars.

[Dimnos]

Kicking ass in MW2 multiplayer. Domination is where its at!

[stevetothepast]

I'm starting to get pissed off that Modern Warfare 2 has not arrived at my house yet.

I'm playing Fable 2 at the moment

[Dimnos]

Still havnt gotten it? I would call them and demand a tracking number.

[stevetothepast]

I have a tracking number but it's going through Canada Post standard mail.

shit was supposed to be here two days ago.

[Dimnos]

I dont know about Canadian mail service but that sounds about on par for the USPS. Sucks dude. :\

Saints Row 2 is hella fun if you have a friend to play online with.

[Microshock]

No, my point is, theres gonna be a weekend deal with L4D2 where its gonna be half off very soon. Just like L4D1

[executioneer]

maybe on Steam it is

[Fathom Zero]

Oui. And in months from now. Unless Steam has another fire sale.

[Phoenix Gamma]

After listening to the Retronauts podcast on Yoshi's Island, I'm booting the game up. That was such a phenomenal game. Awesome graphics, great music, and amazing boss fights.

Also, more LBP PSP

[Fathom Zero]

I need to get it. I didn't know it was out yet.

Or is it? :lol Never know, with the PSP crowd.

[Phoenix Gamma]

I mentioned it in my last post :(

It's been out for a few days. Sony's been running some ads on TV, but other than that, I only knew it was out because I saw it on a list of this week's releases.

It's pretty damn close to the original. There are only two planes instead of three, and respawns are infinite (though they cost you points), and there's no multiplayer, but aside from that, it's exactly the same.

[OxBlood]

Assassin´s Creed 2. Well invested 5 bucks (thanks to Gamestop). Much more to do this time and the fight are a lot of fun again.

[Dimnos]

I think Ill be picking up the God of War collection today.
