I'm fine with all 3 of the FEAR games. I think the first one is the best by a country mile, but the other 2 are decent shooters. I agree that the 3rd game's story wasn't great to put it mildly (but then, it wasn't even by the original developers anymore and apparently started life as a different game entirely until they decided to just slap the FEAR name on it). I really enjoyed the final level though, being chased by that monster and seeing all the creepy flashbacks. If the game has been more like that, then it would have been much better.

I didn't have my own computer in 04 when Cave Story came out. My mom and step dad owned a computer, but I didn't really use it much except play C&C Tiberian Sun and a few other games. Plus, we had dial up at the time, so, I rarely went on the internet at the time. That may be the reason why I never heard of Cave Story.

As an additional note, I didn't have my own computer in 2004. In fact, all I was playing on computers was Counter Strike. Not until I had greater access to the internet did I find out about Cave Story, and that was through a "Guess the Game via Screenshot" thread, and then OCremix (http://ocremix.org/album/5279/cave-story-remix-project) came out with a remix project for it. It actually didn't gain a whole lot of visibility until it was announced that it was being released for WiiWare.

I also don't play freeware all that much, because I need to feel the game is real by paying for it.

I found that sword, by the way.

I was thinking about doing a marathon with the COD games(not until I get United Offensive) and Time Crisis games. :p

tried it with the main games.

its a long pain in the ass.
then again, i played on hardened. a balanced challenge

I'm actually starting Time Crisis and Time Crisis 2.

I haven't played it yet because I've been busy, but it looks interesting

Good luck. I stopped playing that because of how much it scared me at times.

Edit: Mobile Suit Gundam Battle Operations

Very good F2P Gundam game. The 12 plays per day limt doesn't bother me much since I got plenty of games to play. Still haven't figured out how to do MS wrestling and how to switch teams. xP

New game of Saints Row 2.

DayZ
Skyrim
BF3
Max Payne 3

Tribes Ascend
On the Rain Slick Precipice of Darkness Eps. 1-3. First two were on sale on Steam. Then I couldn't leave it incomplete so I bought the 3rd.
Aria of Sorrow

Batman Arkham Asylum

Suikoden III

Fucking Finished Fucking Valkyrie Fucking Profile after 8 Fucking Long Years.

Got the "A" Ending, playing on Hard Difficulty.

Horrible Narrative this game. Seriously, if you thought that Final Fantasy XII had a horrible narrative Pacing. Play this shit.

There's literally nothing happening for 8 chapters and then inmediately a lot of poorly explained information is thrown at your face without giving any time for processing.

I'm still headscratching trying to make sense to plenty of stuff.

On the good aspects of the storyline, is there's some fair amount of Emotional Investment. And it definitely has a good Love Story. Unlike FF8 >D.

Top Gun: Hard Lock on PS3

Finally succumbed and picked up FFXIII-2 - although I only paid $35 for it so it's not like SE are getting a lot of money from me for it. :p

Actually, it's not as bad as I thought it would be - the QTE sections are pretty stupid though and just broke up the flow of the narrative, the main antagonist is ridiculous, and the time travel concept seems convoluted and cliched. However the battle system is tweaked from the first one (at least now there's none of that stupid 'party leader death=game over' crap this time), and Noel is quite interesting and likeable as a character. And of course, I just had to buy the White Mage costume DLC for Serah for it too, naturally. ;)

Also Lightning looks downright badass in her valkyrie armour too. ;)

Already I'm thinking this is so much better than the original FFXIII, which is a nice surprise. :)

I beat Cave Story 3D for the 3DS. I really liked how the "normal" ending finished the story. I wouldn't change it, though I've researched and found that there's a "good" ending as well. I'm not going to replay the entire game again just to save Curly. At least not yet. I may play Cave Story+ at some point to get the best ending, but not now.

I also beat Bit.Trip Void ~ Wii in one sitting. I liked it a whole lot more than Core, but admittedly, it was a bit easier.

Now off to Minecraft.

Roller Coaster Tycoon 2

Having gone through Persona 4 and then back through Persona 3 again, I'm finally ready to move onto something else. I'm tempted to go back and play Nocturne and Digital Devil Saga again, to keep my Atlus kick going. But the brutal difficulty means it would be a massive commitment, and I'm not sure I've got enough energy left in the tank for that. Probably need something a bit lighter and easier to build my reserves back up.

I'm thinking Lollipop Chainsaw, as that looks like good trashy fun. Other than that, the wait for new games worth playing goes on...

Dark Souls. Not as good as Demon's Souls, but still quite enjoyable. I'll probably spend the next couple of weeks with this.

Skyrim - decided to play it through as a Breton mage this time.

Got the "B" Ending of Valkyrie Profile last night and watched on youtube the "C" Ending.

Well, The B ending was one of the worst Pile of Shit I've ever saw, worse than KOTOR II Rushed/Unfinished ending. You have to be fucking genious to come up with something worst than that.

Really it was a few steps away from this Congratulations! - YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wDajqW561KM)


Basically the "B" ending is you win the war, then they (Odin & Freya) put you to sleep. THE END. After that some cryptic phrases appear on screen implying that there's more to life or to this game or whatever.

The "C" Ending on the Other Hand while it is a BIG FUCKING GAME OVER SCREEN, it has more insight and it's more related and more informative on what the actual hell was going on with your main character.

Enough of Ranting about that one. I payed that debt.

Now on the way to make ammends of an old debt to pay... Xenogears

Battlefield 3. Surprised at how much I'm enjoying it... especially the mission controlling 'Hawkins' and flying the Hornet.

Dragon's Dogma

I'll give the RE6 demo a try later.

Edit: Tried it out and I've enjoyed it as much as I enjoyed the previous ones. The new features and changes are little weird for me since I've been used to playing RE 4 and 5, but it might grow on me when I get the full game.

Listening on some Ragnarok music, alot of rock and some techno when im tired.

Well, this thread is about what you are gaming, not necessarily playing, as in music or anything else, but ok.

I'm playing this for the first time:



I've had Global Assault for the longest time, as it was the first N64 game I ever touched, but I've never played the original. It has quite a difficulty curve however as it spikes about a quarter of the way through the game. On normal difficulty settings. This game just doesn't give away victory in its very formulaic mission structure. It pretty much weaves an ok plot within basic missions designed for a multiplayer match. Otherwise, it's simply quite fun blowing things up in tanks. Global Assault just does it much better, however.

Multiplayer is also fun, mirroring what is provided in the single player campaign, however it lacks the improvements that Global Assault made. For obvious reasons. Though it is pretty much the same game, which means that Global Assault really didn't make that many improvements to the core formula in the first place. Did I mention it was fun to blow stuff up in tanks? More games need to have tanks. So you can blow stuff up with them.

Also M-1 Abrams Battle Tank for the Genesis comes highly recommended...

The Walking Dead. Episodes 1-2. I love adventure games - they were practically all I used to play when I was growing up. They pretty much died off in the mid 90's, and most recent ones are fairly awful. That combined with a general lack of interest in zombies put me off buying this until now.

But amazingly, its fantastic. The zombies are still the least interesting aspect, and there are a few ultra cheesy lines of dialogue. But mostly, its well written and engaging as hell. My best find in ages, can't wait for the next episode.

Leveling up my Asari/Krogan Vanguard to 20 in Mass Effect 3's multiplayer, in preparation for:



Two goals to achieve: Allied goal of 400,000 extractions on any difficulty against Reapers and a Squad goal of extraction of at least one squad member against Reapers on Gold difficulty... fun, fun, fun... ugh, and my success on Gold difficulty is low... 1/5 wins...

Batman Arkham Asylum

Went back to the PSP remake of Persona 1 that I bought a while ago. Applied myself properly this time, committed myself to grinding my levels up, fusing demons properly and sensibly etc, and finally got to what appeared to be the end. Except that because of 1 wrong decision I made in an earlier conversation (out of 5-6 such conversations, which I gave the correct answers for in all the others), I had unknowingly been locked into receiving the Bad Ending. So my triumphant 'I win, I win!' quickly turned into a 'Oh hang on a minute... I fail, I epically fail...' All that work for nothing... Arggh!

So of course, sucker for punishment that I am, I'm now going through it again to get the proper ending. It'll be worth it just to hear the music for the Tesso boss fight again. I was laughing and dancing along to it so much, I could hardly fight. Tough game then, but its pretty good, and interesting to see how the series started out.

Taking a break from Mass Effect 3 multiplayer challenge, Operation Broadside, and gone back to Saints Row 2. Played this game to death, but keep going back. Great game.

Currently playing some games I've bought from the Steam Summer Sale.

Including CoD MW3, Dead Island, Just Cause 2 (Cant wait for that Multiplayer mod!!) and Dungeon Defenders.

Still also playing FFXI on and off - G3 done today, gonna work on Sandy Missions next.

If you're playing FFXI on a private server Purrr, I'd be very careful if I were you - they're notorious for hackers and spammers, plus Squenix actively pursues such activities, shutting down the servers and suing those who run them. But it's up to you.

I've gotten really into FFXIII-2 the past week - just finished Chapter 4: goddess Academia 400 AF was a pain with those damn Cie'th attacking every few feet you walk. But the nighttime rainy atmosphere was really pretty and a joy to behold. :)

Thanks Enki, this server is intensely private.

But I do miss retail XI a lot, but everyone is saying I'd be a fool to return.

Also...G4 completed. 63 taru WHM. Gonna keep partying in Ro'meave.

Finished the original Resident Evil(got it from amazon) as Chris after playing the directors cut version so many times. Playing as Chris was frustrating for me later on :p

Entropia Universe

Homefront

My dad bought it off Steam. I tried to warn him it was a short bloody game.

hey, the sp is good. it was written by the writters of apocalypse now and red dawn. and it shows.
think of it as the third movie, because thats what it is.

also, i liked the MP, a hybrid of COD and BF.

anyway, also playing that,m but on the ps3.
the godfather mobwars on psp
dark souls on 360

Yeah, it shows considering its a carbon copy of Red Dawn. If you want something closer to Apoc Now, go play Spec Ops: The Line.

Batman Arkham City

So far, it's just as great as Arkham Asylum

Edit: Right now, SoulCalibur 5

Edit 2: Continent of the 9th Seal

Lots and lots of Minecraft.

dark souls, 360

Stepmania... I really need to finish some files I've been wanting to get done for a long time. :-\

Rogue Squadron 3D. Love the game!

The Elder Scrolls V : Skyrim

The Elder Scrolls V : Skyrim

Me too, thanks to Steam Summer Sale.

DayZ

I've been playing for hours and I made excellent progress(survived for 2 days, so far). It's about to get real dark on the server I'm on and I'm going to see if I can survive the night by camping out in a building. I'm scared doing this since I'm afraid some bandit with NVG's is going to get me, or something else out in the woods besides bandits and zeds is going to stalk me.

what is this Day z, it sounds interesting.hmmm.

anyways im in the middle of beating 2 games (assassins creed-revelations) and for like the 50th time (final fantasy 7)

and of course i play call of duty when i get sick of story ha...

ill be checking this Day z out soon tho

Basically, a mmo zombie survival mod(currently in alpha) for Arma2 and Arma2: Operation Arrowhead(you can get Arma2: Combined Operations on steam). It doesn't involve the George A Romero zombies, but 28 Days Later "Infected".

Surprisingly, I'm doing fine. No bandits have attacked and I haven't seen anything out of the ordinary. This'll be my third day in game. :)

I've been playing Castle Of Shadows on my Android phone and I love it! Since Castlevania is one of my all-time favorite series, it seems natural to like that game. I know it's a blatant rip-off of the Konami classic, but who cares... it was free.

Ghost Recon Future Soldier

tried realistic again for il2 sturmovik.

i swear i will never try again.

Got a great mod that makes the water in Skyrim a lot more realistic.

I will be gaming a lot the next DLC of BF3 on PC.

It looks fucking badass!.

Battlefield 3: Armored Kill! DLC Gameplay Trailer (True HD 1080p, 60FPS) - YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HxU64t7ulvw)

Trying to build myself up to finish Dragon's Dogma. From the looks of things, I was right near the end, but I left it for a while when Persona 4 came, then I got hooked on Walking Dead and here I am, weeks later, trying to remember how to even play!

Its a good game though, one of the only decent retail games I've got this year. Man, would November just hurry up and come already - I could really go for playing Halo 4 right now...

Mostly Dodonpachi Resurrection in IPod Touch 4.

Star Ocean: Till the End of Time. recently started a Universe playthrough.

Psychonauts and The Elder Scrolls: Arena (super retro!) are two of the games I'm playing currently.

Mass Effect 3

Edit: Just tried Platinum. Fuck Platinum. It makes Silver and Gold look like a cakewalk.

Mass Effect 3

Edit: Just tried Platinum. Fuck Platinum. It makes Silver and Gold look like a cakewalk.

I got to wave 10 Platinum on Firebase Vancouver last night... Wave 10 was the new Escort mission (guard the drone to it's upload point)... it all went to Hell, with Banshees, Phantoms and Brutes slamming into us. My Quarian Male Infiltrator (w/ Mattock X (AR Piercing mod V and Magazine upgrade V) and Geth Plasma SMG X (SMG heat sink V and SMG High Velocity Barrel III)) was the last to fall (Tactical Scan (Specced for increased weapon damage on target and decrease target movement speed) and the Arc Grenades (Specced for damage and radius) were a godsend)... and only within a few feet of the upload point! /cry

On topic: Was given 3000 MS points and (as it wasn't my money used to buy them) bought the last three DLC for Saints Row The Third and started a new game. Not as good as Saints Row 2, but still a good game in it's own right.

I went Boston, Massachusetts this weekend. I played MarioKart 7 and Magic the Gathering with a friend in the hotel room.

I got to wave 10 Platinum on Firebase Vancouver last night

You're lucky, it went to hell for me and my team on Wave 1. Banshees, Brutes, and Cannibals(oh my!) and just about everything was thrown at us. The rest of my team died and I survived for only 2-3 minutes. That alone makes me not want to play Platinum again. :/

Still on ME 3.

mission impossible on the 64.
its as horrible as i remember it

Replayed the final mission from Mass Effect 3 with the Extended Cut DLC and chose the Synthesis ending. I have to say, the Synthesis ending was a better choice than the ending I chose. I'll see the Control ending later.

Donkey Kong 64

Control is the best Mass Effect 3 ending IMO. Not only is it the most ethical (bizarrely), but the voiceover is the best too (Mark Meer is particularly good - one of the occasions when he does a better job than Jennifer Hale, but then Meer always sells the big speeches and monologues better IMO).

ac brotherhood

i 100%'ed ac 2 last week cause it was sooooo goood

this one is not as good unfortunately, there's little weird polishing issues that aren't here that were present in ac2...shouda just been dlc or something. im barely halfway though so maybe it picks up.

Assassins Creed
Fallout 3

Asamiya D:

Quite a long time without your prescence. Or I've visited the wrong Threads.

I've been around all this time I just don't post.

Spider-Man: Web of Shadows

Making Black Suit choices after finishing the game with all Red Suit choices since I love being a good person :p

Well, I finished Dragon's Dogma - sort of. I killed the titular Dragon, I listened to his Dogma (before he died obviously), and then I got some short credits rolling... and then the game continued?! Its bizarre, as the story still seems to be going on, but the sheer spike in difficulty (its gotten absolutely *crazy* hard), means this is definitely post game content. If there was a cut-off point at least, that would be something (i.e an ending which might not be the True End, but which is good enough for you to leave it at that, if you don't want to do the extra content).

But this isn't like that - the story is clearly ongoing, but progress is now 100 times more difficult. Annoying to say the least - I don't want to leave it unfinished, but the game is now far more work than its worth, to be bothered continuing with. Do Capcom not playtest their games *at all* these days?!

Sonic CD.

I gave you rep for that Ari. :D Still my favourite Sonic game ever.

FFXIII-2, and throwing that little bitch Mog around never gets old. :p

KH 365 days

Playing as my new N7 Demolisher (Engineer), N7 Fury (Adept) and N7 Slayer (Vanguard) all weekend long for the community challenge. Better get either the N7 Shadow (Infiltrator), N7 Destroyer (Soldier) or N7 Paladin (Sentinel) in the Victory Pack or else I'm not gonna be happy.

Sonic CD.

I've got it from the xbox live marketplace since I never owned a Sega CD back in the day. It's fun, but I suck at this game just as much as I suck at the 2D Sonic games. xp

@Revan

Crap, I better jump in then. I forgot about that event.

Bejeweled Blitz

Spec Ops: The Line. Enjoying the game so far, despite the combat flaws and the weak AI. It's just one of those games where the story alone makes up for all other flaws.

Fallout 3

Hitman 2: Silent Assassin on the xbox(My first Hitman game)

I remember when I was younger, I would just cheat and do it guns blazing. Right now, I've been doing it the way I feel is better(try and be stealthy as possible.) So far, I got the Professional grade on 3 missions and neutral on one(the one where I had to rescue a VIP in Russia). Tracking Hayamoto is the most annoying mission, so far. After I finish this one, I'm going to play Hitman: Contracts since I cheated in that game, too(didn't finish, however).

I never played Hitman: Codename: 47(again, I never owned a PC at the time it came out), but I hope to get it from Amazon and get Hitman: Blood Money from Gamestop. I can't wait for Hitman: Absolution.

Started playing Sonic 4 Episode II. If anyone else is playing this game and can help out with unlocking achievements that require multiplayer, let me know.

That's out already? I haven't heard anything about it. I figured the episodes went the way of Half-Life.

Valkyria Chronicles

I've got it from the xbox live marketplace since I never owned a Sega CD back in the day. It's fun, but I suck at this game just as much as I suck at the 2D Sonic games. xp

There is definitely a learning curve to this Sonic game. It took a while to understand what the Past and Future posts did. The Special Stages are a pain in the ass. Heh.

There is definitely a learning curve to this Sonic game. It took a while to understand what the Past and Future posts did. The Special Stages are a pain in the ass. Heh.
I never did figure out how those posts worked to this day! Haha! Game was much harder than the previous 2D Sonic games in my opinion.

I've been playing Stardrop Sprint for the iPhone. Great platformer!

Sonic CD was a blast to play, though not as great as Sonic 2.

I beat BattleTanx for the N64. Good game, though the mission objectives got real repetitive towards the end. Different level, same objective as the last one. What the heck is that? Still, there are tanks, that blow things up. Multiplayer is more fun when you've got four people playing (as made evidenced by my previous post regarding BattleTanx).

So I moved on to replaying the sequel, Global Assault for the N64 as well (there was a far inferior version on the PSone). There are definitely huge improvements over difficulty balancing, sound, and graphics. More weapons, and more tanks are always a good thing. I had always felt that it was a good game, simply because its multiplayer modes were top notch for the time. It has aged decently, but I never really played the single player campaign all that much, especially without resorting to cheats. So really, this is a new experience where I know the outcome, but not exactly how well I'll perform.

I am playing Angry Birds space, I love all series in the Angry Birds because this is my all time favorite game. Each and every level creates anxiety and interest while playing. Really you will enjoy this game, gives lot of fun and entertainment.

I'm playing Halo Reach right now. I'm also playing Skyrim and Diablo 3 on PC.

Star Ocean: Till the End of Time. just finished getting all the Universe battle trophies and am about to brace myself for the unforgiving 4D Mode.

Deus Ex: Human Revolution

Got a nice haul in my Victory Pack and Commendation Pack from BioWare's Community Challenge for Mass Effect 3 (Including the N7 Hurricane SMG 1 and the new N7 Destroyer), so taking a break and going to play a bit of Battlefield 3.. work on some achievements.

It is truly amazing. Really has taken me by surprise, one of the best games I've ever played.

Fighting Avion atm (Colossus #5 I think). Have no idea what's going on story wise, except I'm fighting these things to bring back my dead lover.

hybrid heaven and body harvest

Body Harvest. Now that was a great game. Before they tried attacking Grand Theft Auto, there was Space Station: Silicon Valley and Body Harvest. You really can see where a lot of the original concepts came from in both of these games that were taken over to the GTA series. Ah, good times.

I beat Battletanx: Global Assault - N64, and now I've moved onto:



for the Wii. Excellent game. Adds quite a bit more depth to the core concept of the Bit.Trip series.

Mars Rover Landing

Edit: Rather short, but it was fun. Going to see what else is at the Kinect Fun labs

Edit 2: Well, nothing of interest. Time for some Rise of Nightmares.

Edit 3: Finally got Amnesia: The Dark Descent. Going to play it.

Spec Ops: The Line.

Its... hmm. I'm only a few hours in, but I'm having trouble sticking with it - in terms of action, its like the most average game I've ever played. I realise that the story is supposed to be the main draw, but the 3 'heroes' are really annoying, and the decisions your guy makes are utterly stupid. I know the game couldn't continue without them, but he really does come across as the most idiotic commanding officer ever. One lethal misunderstanding after another pile up and up, when even the smallest amount of common sense would tell you to just pull out and inform command, rather than plough on and hope things will somehow magically sort themselves out. It makes the moral choices hard to care about, because I keep thinking 'But... no man with half a brain would have let it get to this point - this whole thing shouldn't be going down like this.'

Its obviously still a more substantial story than most army shooters get (inevitable, seeing as how its copying Heart of Darkness, which is one of the few books that even people who don't like reading books can enjoy). So... ah, I don't know; it doesn't seem like a *bad* game, so much as a 'really not that good, but it has its moments' kind of game.

The Walking Dead - SE1 - EP1/EP2 are both 'free' for PSN+ member.

:D

Finished Amnesia. Great game. It's a shame that I didn't get freaked out as much as I wanted it to(maybe I was a little desensitized by watching PewDiePie play Amnesia custom stories :p). The sewers part scared me because of the Brute, however. Either way, it was great. I'll try out Justine later.

About avoiding the monsters, I don't know if it's just me or not, but I found the monsters easy to avoid. I think it's the growls they make that make me not come out of the shadows until they're gone. That doesn't mean I didn't die by them lol. I died about 4 times.

1 from having my back against the wall and somehow going through the wall when Flappyface was attacking me, thus, falling to my death.

3 by the monsters killing me at certain points.

Going to play PAYDAY: The Heist since it was on sale for $4.99. Also took the liberty of getting the Wolfpack dlc.

flag to flag.
this is the first time the images in the back cover dont lie:

the game looks shitty, and its shitty itself.

I remember playing the demo. I thought it was fun at the time. Plus, the music was amazing.

even the title is fucked up.

on the side, it says flag to flag, yet on the cover it says SEGA SPORTS: flag to flag CART, and on gamefaqs it says CART: flag to flag.

MAKE UP YOUR FUCKING MIND, GAME

It is truly amazing. Really has taken me by surprise, one of the best games I've ever played.

Fighting Avion atm (Colossus #5 I think). Have no idea what's going on story wise, except I'm fighting these things to bring back my dead lover.

SOTC is very slightly related to ICO. Even though ICO came 1st, it's chronologically 2nd. It's a trilogy told in reverse.

But don't worry, it won't effect your enjoyment or understanding of the SOTC plot if you didn't play ICO. The relationship isn't like that.

I can't explain without going into spoiler territory.

Fumito Ueda's new game (if it ever sees the light of day) will be the final part of the trilogy, and the first part of the 'story'. It's called The Last Guardian.

Give ICO a try someday. It's a very different kind of game but an equally beautiful experience. :awsm:

Deus Ex Human Revolution

I just find that takedown where Adam taps on the person's shoulder and punches them in the face highly amusing.

Soul Calibur 5.

This game... If I *ever* find out whose idea it was to make the single player focus almost exclusively on those new 'characters' Patrokylos and Pyhrra (who together manage to fulfill every bad stereotype of JRPG heroes), then I won't be held responsible for my actions. As if it wasn't bad enough (and it is), they also cut out several of the best characters from the previous games!

The days when this franchise mattered seem like a lifetime ago. Soul Calibur and Soul Calibur 2 are such awesome games. This however... isn't.

I'm leaning a bit towards a 7 or an 8 for Soul Calibur 5, mainly because the gameplay is very fun as well as the online play. I found the story to be interesting, but a little short and the customization has added new things while cutting a few things out(in terms of items). I do agree they should've kept some of the characters, but I personally don't mind. I was a little disappointed that Arcade mode doesn't give you character endings, but again, it's still fun to playthrough.

I'd like to see a sequel, or spinoff that can improve what Soul Calibur 5's got while adding new things and maybe bring some things back, as well as the characters that were cut out.

Deus Ex Human Revolution

Jak And Daxter HD Collection

7 or 8?! Man, you're *way* more lenient on that game than me! But then, have you played the early ones? If not, I recommend them, as they have so much more content than this bare bones game.

I couldn't get into the story at all - it was far too short, Patrokylos and Phyrra were annoying characters, and there were only 2 stages where you got to play as someone else. And one of those stages is the battle against Nightmare, where you're frantically trying to learn the moves of a character you've only played once before, as you're being soundly thrashed by Nightmare's Soul Edge! Plus one of the early stages is Patrokylos getting randomly attacked by Astaroth in a forest, who he easily beats?! Was Astaroth feeling unwell that day?!

With all the cool weapon styles available (Nun-chucks, Bo stick, whip sword, Ring Blade, Greatsword, Battleaxe etc etc), it sucks that we're stuck playing as the extremely basic Sword (for Patrokylos) and Sword + Shield (for Phyrra). I don't mind using those weapons, but all the time?! The variety of weapons and styles is a huge part of the game, so only giving any story to the wielder of 2 of the least exotic styles is disappointing. Plus, I just miss all the extra stuff - descriptions and histories of the characters, the stages, the whole Weaponmaster mode where you travel the world, engaging in various trials and exploring dungeons to find new weapons, and unlock new characters etc etc.

I agree that the fighting is still fun, but it feels like 9 tenths of this game is missing. I'd give it a 5 out of 10 myself. Its still Soul Calibur, but the content just isn't there. For a game that was always famous for its wealth of unlockable art, locations, characters, weapons, modes etc, this just isn't good enough. It isn't enough period.

I am pretty much more lenient since I just try to look past whatever flaws are there and not let them bother me. I'm yet to find a game in this generation that I won't be lenient on lol. :P

I've played Soul Calibur(9/10) and Soul Calibur 2(9/10. Haven't completely finished it). I never played Soul Blade, and Soul Calibur 3, but I plan on getting them. I also plan on getting Soul Calibur Legends and hopefully Broken Destiny.

I've read it was because of time constraints, which is why I can see why some people say it feels incomplete.

I was thinking of playing resident evil 1 for the psx.I recently beat silent hill 1 a couple of times, and now i have no reason to play it, cause i got everything.Only thing left, is beating it on hard difficulty,Resident evil 1 will be a pain in the ass to beat on hard difficulty.

Mass Effect 3. Honestly, I was expecting some kind of ungodly piece of shit after what everyone has been saying these past few months, but actually it's not bad at all, so far. I'm bracing myself for a horrible ending of course, but I'm enjoying the ride.

I'm not sure anyone thinks Mass Effect 3 is a terrible game exactly - its just a disappointing one. Many people got hung up on the ending, but for me the biggest let down was the Reapers and how 'meh' they were after all the build up. Both in a gameplay and story sense, they don't capture the imagination at all IMO, especially considering that Sovereign was a reasonably interesting foe. The invasion feels oddly routine, like its really not that big a deal. Like the Darkspawn horde from DAO, they spend most of the game off screen, only appearing at the beginning and end, with you fighting the odd isolated group here and there. Doesn't feel like a war is on at all, most of time. In fact, you spend much more time fighting Cerberus (over 50% of the time in fact), and their forces are much more interesting to fight against anyway. Encounters with Reaper forces lean far too heavily on their exotic troops to be of any interest - if there aren't any Banshees, Brutes or Harvesters, the biggest threat you'll face against Reaper forces is falling asleep.

Plus I think I'm about done with Bioware and their formula now. The game plays out very similarly to DAO (Attacked by horde, leave to recruit allies, uncover treachery in the home ranks, gather allies and fight 1 short battle to beat the whole invasion). As I mentioned before, the Reapers simply don't live up to their billing - the ease with which they are beaten, considering the huge advantage they have is just embarassing. The galaxy was completely fragmented and disunited, and is already under attack when the game starts. Yet you still have time to get everyone together, with enough ships left to put up any kind of fight, build a 'kills all the Bad Guys' super weapon from scratch, (right under the noses of an enemy who has sleeper agents everywhere)?! The Reapers make so many tactical blunders that its almost unfair to beat them in the end (hitting the Citadel first, redeploying all their forces to destroy the Crucible before it is finished, or simply turning off/destroying the Mass Relays for example, would have won them the fight immediately).

The game felt strangely flat to me. There was no atmosphere, I didn't feel like this was 'The End of Days' or anything like that. The battlezones were uninspired and there was no urgency to anything. I kept waiting for the game to give a reason to truly care about what was happening with the invasion, but its was far too busy showing me what Cerberus was up to, to bother about trivial details like the Reapers. I still played through it, and even with Cerberus hogging more screen time than they should have, the game at least has more relevance to the main ME story than ME2 ever did. But for a story which had so much promise in ME1, I really wish I'd stopped playing after that first game. The sequels have been extremely disappointing, and as a poster recently put it on the Bioware forums:

'I just thought it would be... GRANDER than this'.

I definitely get what you're saying. There are some points here and there where it feels like there's a galaxy threatening war going on, but they are few and far between. On the other hand, I don't think it could have been any other way. It's a linear shooter, just like ME2, with no space exploration to speak of. I mean, it would be pretty impressive if they actually did manage to make it feel like there's a huge war going on, don't you think?

I'll decide how I truly feel about it after I finish it, but so far I must say I'm not disappointed at all. It's exactly what I was expecting it to be. Not what I wanted it to be, but everything I expected it to be. Most of my disappointment came after I played ME2.

If it was the first time they'd done this, then I'd agree. But after KOTOR and Dragon Age: Origins, I was hoping they'd come up with some better solution on how to make the galaxy wide threat feel more pronounced. Both KOTOR and DAO are great games, but the Sith and Darkspawn all but vanish in terms of their wider invasion outside of the start and end of the games. Meanwhile, you're traipsing up and down, doing little side quests and basically just buggering about, having a good time exploring, saving up to buy fancy weapons and dating people etc.

The issue for me is that to feel like something big is actually happening, you need recognisable places to be destroyed, invaded etc. You need real hard hitting scenes of carnage and destruction. And the emphasis here is on seeing it, not just hearing about it. Dragon Age Origins for example, should have shown us the fall of Lothering in the first game and pulled no punches in depicting it, (particularly if you left characters like Sten to die there). In ME3, the Citadel should have fallen at the start of the game. I think it was a huge mistake to leave the Citadel intact, as its the one place that we have real history with. We'd care if it was destroyed, so it should have been. That should have been the first place the Reapers hit, and the Allied races should have destroyed it themselves, rather than let the Reapers have it, when it became obvious they were going to lose the battle. Shepard could have made that call, then get the leadership out of there. They could then move their main headquarters to Omega and show they were wiling to get down and dirty to win this war. Stuff like that would have made it feel like there a proper war going on.

So yeah, I knew it wasn't going to be the game I wanted it to be, because ME2 had put paid to any chance of that. But quietly I had hoped, you know? I really wanted them to come good with this final installment, recapture some of that magic that made me love ME1. So when it was just 'reasonably good in its own way', it was a bit deflating.

I can't seem to get in a mood to play lost oddysey

Resident Evil 0

Sonic Axiom, it's actually a fangame, but my my I say everything about it just looks so professional I have a hard time telling xD

I love everything about it, gameplay, music, visuals, it's all amazing. It plays sort of like a Sonic CD 2 and it's funny I love this game so much because Sonic CD is my favourite classic. The soundtrack for it is just nothing short of superb.

Killing idiots in GTA San Andreas.

Having found a DOS emulator for XP, I've started firing up some old DOS games I haven't played in years.

First up, was Princess Maker 2. Hard to believe this anime life sim/RPG was made by Studio GAINAX. But still very good regardless. :)

It's the week leading up to my wedding, so my older brother has been bumping at my place. Because he likes to hijack the TV, I have been unable to continue my adventures with CommanderVideo in Runner. The last few levels are quite difficult anyways. I've been playing quite a bit of Minecraft. I have been digging up sand and sandstone to make smooth sandstone for the walls inside my skyscraper. I've also successfully constructed a working chicken coop that farms eggs and if I get annoyed with the chickens, I can throw a switch which will send them into the furnace. Fun times. It's the first time I've ever successfully implented any kind of red stone wiring, so I'm quite proud of myself.

I've also played a little bit of TrackMania Nations and Counter Strike Source.

Bully Scholarship Edition

Clive Barker's Jericho.

Completed this game about 70 times, but I always come back for more. Its not a fantastically well made game by any means, but I just love the ideas in this game. Playing as a character who dies on the first level, but exists as a entity that can bodyjump into and take control of his team mates, who all have their own unique magical powers and weapons. Awesome levels, ranging from Nazi Germany, Ancient Rome and the time of the Crusades. And seeing as how its Clive Barker, there's more gore and body horror than you can shake a disturbingly shaped stick covered in viscera at. The fact that I like the characters and the story is just the icing on the cake.

The game's rough production values are unfortunate, but it doesn't diminish the fact that I love the mix of magic, horror, religion and adventure it offers. Really wish Barker would get involved with more games. Compared to many collaborations from other industries, his have been amongst the most successful IMO. He doesn't need to code the game, just provide the ideas and the dialogue.

Right now I'm attempting to stay awake as I came back from a long day at Kennywood in Pittsburgh, PA, and then ended up having to work a third shift through the night. My eyes keep wandering off.. it's a struggle just to keep them open. Wish I'd have gotten more sleep last night.

In any case, I was at KennyWood all day, so that was occupying the large majority of my time today. Also played some MarioKart 7 til my 3DS batteries died. Afterwhich, we arrived at my younger brother's place where we played some Left4Dead 2 by going through Hard Rain on Expert.

I'm gonna stop typing on my phone, I can't seem to keep eyes open enough to complete this post.

You have Clive Barker's Undying before this one.

But yeah, Clive should totally involve himself more with games.

I still remember when I read Hellbound Heart it was the very first time that i felt a chill reading something.

Super Mario All-Stars + World. Currently playing Super Mario Bros. The Lost Levels.

Agreed, Top. Undying was pretty good (I remember it won Gamespot's 'Best Game that Nobody Bought' award). Okay, so its no classic of all time, but its still far better than most forays into games by authors, directors etc. Barker admits he doesn't know much about video games, so he's reliant on the developers to actually make the thing, but his imput on story, dialogue and sense of darkly magical style for the games are invaluable. Because he has a great imagination and knows what he's doing. Most people only know him for the gore, but without genuine imagination and skill, he wouldn't have made it so big.

At the recent E3, I saw a round of interviews where a statement along the lines of '...We're trying our best to get the best technical staff we can - not so much writers, as anyone on the team can do that...' came up during a round table discussion. This kind of idiotic thinking is *exactly* why most games have such awful stories and dialogue. Because developers think they can hand the writing duties over to whoever has the time to do it, regardless of their actual skill or imagination. Its common sense surely, that you should give jobs to people who are equipped to do them, not just fob them off on any old Tom, Dick or Harry on your team, just to save a bit of money.

Yeah I know what you mean, but this things tend to happen though because finding a quality writer is kinda roulette.

Doom 3 had a real writer and the storyline was shit. The Mass Effect Series had a real writter too I think and Chris Avelone and the buds at Obsidian can write stories that are 1000000000000 better than any Bioware or Bethesda writer. And they're not even proffessional writers.

Same as Yasumi Matsuno when he was still at Square Enix before he departed at mid development of FFXII.

Playing Mother 1+2 (Actually just 1) on GBA (PSP Emu) and planning to play Super Metroid.

I played Earthbound before, didn't finish it so I plan to finish Mother before continuing Earthbound. Have to say, as many reviewers have mentioned, Mother and Earthbound are different beasts. Also I want to play Super Metroid. Never had the chance to play the NES one when I was a kid, and just 4 years ago got to play Fusion and Zero Mission. Just loved them. Tried Prime Trilogy and Other M and... bleh. So everybody says Super Metroid is the best one, so I'll try it now.

I would argue that Chris Avellone etc do qualify as writers though, because they have been doing so for over a decade now. A good writer is simply someone who is good at writing, not necessarily someone who is an ultra successful, much published author etc. As to being a roulette, it should be obvious very quickly if someone is up to the task or not, and I would suggest that the vast majority of those roped in to do the writing in video games fall into the latter category. You would hope that developers ask for a little more evidence of a writer's quality, than their solemn promise that they are good writers, after all!

(I must also say that I think you're being a little harsh on Bioware there. I too consider Obsidian to be much better writers, but that doesn't mean I consider Bioware to be poor writers. They're a little too genre friendly for my liking, and employ far too much fanservice and Deus Ex Machina etc, not to mention they buy into their own hype too much these days. But they're still better than most out there, and perhaps with a bit of a lay-off period to recharge their batteries, they can come back strong next gen.

As for Doom 3... well, I didn't mind some parts of it. The intro section was certainly very different from what I was expecting, and the tension built quite nicely, as you knew eventually that the forces of hell would break loose. And when it finally happened, it was an effective sequence. I also thought that some of the sections with Sarge were pretty good. The revelation of what he really was, was pretty cool IMO. But yeah, it wasn't great because it took far too long to get to the hell levels, they were very uninspiring when you eventually got there, and then you were only there for about 5 minutes anyway. To be honest, giving Doom a proper story always seemed a little odd to me - Doom never really had a story before that, and it did just fine without one.

Its only story was a sort of jokey 'You are a very hard man - and you've decided to kill all demons everywhere, because they made you angry'. It took away from the essentially silly 'annihilate em up' fun that made Doom what it was. It was like that awful film 'Jet Li's The One' - if the whole film had been as simple and hilarious as that final scene where Li declares to a crowd of extremely large and hostile fellows: 'I am Yu Law, I am nobody's bitch - you are all my bitches' followed by an enormous fight, then that film would have been much better. Same with Doom - weapons and fighting first, story later (if ever).

dead rising, going for that last achievement which i dont fucking know why i never attempted it before

Meh, from my experience I'm not embarassed on saying that they're 3rd to 4th class writers. KOTOR 1 was a Cliche Storm all over, to the point that it got offensive with the "reveal" (AND THANK GOD THAT OBSIDIAN LITERALLY FIXED ALL THAT ON KOTOR 2), Jade Empire was hideous, the first segments of ME1 are not that enthralling. Dragon Age I really don't know, I guess The Witcher was more appealing to me. ME2 was kind of interesting for some parts and specific characters, Miranda.
ME3 got dat ending. Which I still stand in the position of saying that it's stupid on how it got the rage for the "Betrayal of 2012".

I mean, they're not bad. But I think they're a little bit if not too much overrated.

I know, but it's ID Software's attempt to catch up with the times. Their head developer was the one who came up with the popular phrase "Story in Videogames is like storyline in Porn".
And they do know what they are doing, that's why they left the storyline parts to an actual writer. And as you said, I was really hyped up with the slow start that the game got, it looked that it was going to be a Survival game with some Doom stuff but with some depth added into the flavor. I guess I expected too much.

But either way. I think we understand why quality writers are not involved that much in the industry.

We need more open minded and imaginative guys like Clive Barker.

I'm getting married tomorrow, but in the meantime, I just got my hands on Counter Strike: Global Offensive for the PC, because that's THE only way to play CS. It's good fun, though I haven't touched CS in forever, so the veterans on the servers were critiquing my performance.

Preparing for a wedding by playing Counterstrike? The ceremony is taking place in a warzone perhaps? Either way, I believe congratulations are the order of the day, Maxx. Life is about to become permanently multi-player for you!

Anyway, with regard to Bioware, I think they're mostly fine, except their silly portrayal of bad guys. All the Sith characters in KOTOR 1 (main characters and NPCs) are written extremely badly, constantly sneering and exulting in their 'exquisite' evilness. Its cringeworthy, and indicative of how bad Bioware always are at writing genuinely evil characters. Malak and Bandon in particular are just awful - Malak even has a scene where he holds his chest as he quakes with evil bad guy cackling! Same in Jade Empire (although that was, I agree, just terrible in general - far too much humour at the expense of pretty much everything else, a potentially interesting world completely wasted, dull party members, yet more baddies who find evil to be 'exquisite' etc.) I guess the only thing I would say is that the game was written by the founders of the company, who rarely write games these days (and thank God for that!) But anyway, enough about them. Barker beats Bioware anyday!

Remembering Doom 3 has me all depressed - I was a huge Doom fan back in the day. Doom 2 is still one of my favourite FPS games. The problem with Doom 3 for me, wasn't the story - it was the fact that it was... well... crap! In Doom games, you expect to stroll around, laden down with weapons, into big open courtyards (or rooms where the walls suddenly fall away) and engage in huge battles with hordes and hordes of all manner of different demons at once. Doom 3 had you creeping along in the dark, occasionally being ambushed by about 3-4 people at most. It was pretty much all at close quarters, so the shotgun was king over all other weapons, and everything from the baddies and weapons and locations felt dialled right down.

I'm not saying the story was great, but the gameplay was the real problem for me. Just as I didn't approve of Resident Evil becoming a pure Action game series, I didn't want Doom to become a Survival Horror (which is what Doom 3 is for much of its run, with scarce ammo, dark and cramped environs, ambushing enemies, story over action etc). I love Survival Horror, but I play Doom for action! How is a man supposed to sate his lust for blood with only a handful of enemies at a time? When he's cooped up in small corridors and can't fire his rocket launcher with wild abandon? Is he to be denied these simple things?!

My abiding memory of that game was going through that hell portal and having all my damn weapons and ammo taken off me! That pissed me off mightily, but not nearly as much as going back through the portal a short while later, and having it happen again! Plus the way you use your flashlight in that game was utterly stupid - can't fix it to the gun, or your shoulder or anything, and it was back when developers didn't see how odd it was to have your torch batteries run out in seconds, only to be instantly recharged when you turned it off.

My most favorite games That i am playing:
1.Mario
2.Call Of Duty 4
3.God Of War 3
4.Dragon Age 2
5.IGI 2
6.Cricket 2010( EA sports)
7.Grand Theft Auto -Vice City
8.Need For Speed Underground...!!!

they adress this in one of the commentaries in the LE of doom 3. one of them said "you have this guy with a gun who kills demons on mars, thats pretty much the story on doom. we cant release a game like that right now" or something along the lines.

i too disliked the fact hell had so few levels, and the final boss is a fucking joke, just like in RTC wolfenstein.
circle around, shoot, the end.

I know, many people didn't approved what has happened to Doom 3. But still I think with proper writing it would've pulled it off properly.

I didn't mind that it becomed a survival game. I too was a fan of Classic Doom and go in MAN MODE and brawl with super satanic Cyberdemons & Barons of Hell. I missed the satanic aesthetic and the visual impact and colourful looks. But to me the Game Engine made it up for all that. Yeah the redesigns of the enemies look like Quake 2 all over again. But it was very impacting to me looking at such nice graphics with little Hardware power. ID Software are Technical geniuses.

And I still play Doom, actually I went to investigate the Community of DoomWorld. Very Very Suprised on how active has been all over the years. I stumbled upon a MegaWAD that is really nice, called Scythe 2. I'm at map 25 currently and it's really hardcore.

Anyway.

I'm expecting Doom 4 though. Supposedly is going to be more like Doom 2.

I remember 'The Journey through Hell' WAD for Doom 2. It was pretty fun, as the guy had gone crazy for Cyberdemons, and it was outrageously hard. Good times... And yes, I would be absolutely up for Doom 4 getting back to the series' roots. Not every game needs a big story - Doom was unashamedly about violence for the love of it. Part of the whole appeal was how they took no notice whatsoever of any pressure over too much violence, religious imagery, and weren't afraid to say 'Look, we *are* glorifying violence, because shooting guys with big weapons, chopping them up with chainsaws is fun - and ITS JUST A GAME!' We've all played these games, and unless the media has been hushing it all up, we didn't all run out and start chainsawing and shotgunning people. Video games are a good, cathartic way to work out aggression - they don't cause aggression.

One thing about Doom 3 though - 'little hardware power'? I remember that game needing a fairly beefy PC at the time. Mine certainly wasn't good enough, and that was back when I actually kept on top of stuff like that (I don't even own a Desktop PC these days, but back then I was a pretty big PC gamer). I had to play Doom 3 on my mate's computers, and I did pick up the XBOX version later on (which was awful, quite frankly). Plus, I still don't think you can blame the writer - he isn't the one making the actual game. If there aren't many hell levels, or characters after the first couple of levels, what could he do? I think the intro and the sections with Sarge were very good, so in the sections where the story was important, it worked pretty well IMO. And considering nobody even expected there to *be* a story at all, that's not bad going.

Rok's right though - those hell levels just suck. Too short, and over far too quickly. And the Cyberdemon was indeed a miserable failure. More danger of falling off a ledge than dying to the thing itself!

I just finished a Dragon Age II playthrough and started a The Witcher playthrough. I'm also playing Mass Effect (making a Let's Play out of it) and some Dragon Age Origins. :)

Splinter Cell: Conviction on Realistic and then Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood

Finally, The Walking Dead episode 3 is out. Finally some relief from the games drought, I thought. So clicking my heels together, I zipped on over the PSN Store, singing songs of joy and contentment... And it wasn't there. Turns out that the american PSN got it yesterday, Xbox live the day after, and European PSN users... can F**k off, it seems.

No release date scheduled. For God's sake...

Transformers Fall of Cybertron and Grand Theft Auto IV again.

SEGA Rally Online Arcade, small game but good fun.

Any Metal Gear or Dead Rising title.

A lot of League of Legends.

finally got the platinum trophy in Disgaea 4 yesterday. finally started on Atelier Meruru. it's a lot like it's precedesors but a little more complicated.

Runescape

Jagex offered me 14 days of free membership which means I can try out skills and go to places that are exclusively for people with membership. Very nice of them, I'll say.

Preparing for a wedding by playing Counterstrike? The ceremony is taking place in a warzone perhaps? Either way, I believe congratulations are the order of the day, Maxx. Life is about to become permanently multi-player for you!

Well evenmoreso as she's actually a gamer herself. Maybe not on the same scale as I am, but she did get me an Xbox 360 as well as getting me into Magic the Gathering. The wedding was awesome, by the way.

In other news, I've finally beaten Bit.Trip Runner on Wii. It was a difficult ride, but it was a heck of a lot of fun.

A wife who buys you a console is a promising find. One that actually encourages you to get *into* Magic: The Gathering, rather than admonishing you for 'still playing with those childish cards' though... Now that's one classy Lady - treat her right!

Glad to hear all went well - unlike me and the Walking Dead, which still isn't out... Arrgh! Feeling so despondent over this year's meager offering of games, that I've decided to order Advance Wars 2: Black Hole Rising on Amazon.

Keep playing the classics. There are plenty of them.

i also have endwar but i heard MP is not worth it right now if youre just playing it, as it puts you on a massive disadvantage.
also have MVC3 but ive never played the mp. and if i did it would be mostly to get the MP trophies as i downright suck at fighting games

The Witcher: Enhanced Edition

This:


Whenever you hear people reminisce about the Gamecube, no one ever mentions Baten Kaitos. There's always mention of Skies of Arcadia or Fire Emblem, but it seems to me that this franchise is often overlooked. In any case, I decided to start with the prequel first, simply because it occurs chronologically before the first game which was released a few years prior. So far it's pretty good, even though I'm not a huge fan of turn based RPGs, but the game keeps you involved as your opponents make their move. It took me a little bit to understand the Magnus card battling system as it was unclear at first. Even so, they ease you into it, stalling long enough for one to grasp the concept before turning up the heat. Visually, it's a pretty good looking late era GCN title, though I'm not a huge fan of prerendered backdrops. If there was only one complaint I have, is that the environments suffer because of this design decision. It's Final Fantasy VII all over again with stagnant and lifeless environs despite being populated with NPCs and enemy creatures. Plus there's the issue with deciphering what plane you're occupying when encountering mutitiered environments. Regardless, it's still good fun, though I lost an hour's worth of playtime because I had to go to work, and the nearest save points were literally blockaded off. Not cool.

The card battle system was just plain odd, and there was nothing to raise it above the crowd other than this highly questionable decision. Couldn't disagree more about FF7's environments though - FF7 is a perfect blend of gothic, rural working class reality and grungy steampunk. By far my favourite FF world visually.

Slender

Not the scariest imo, but it's sort of up there with Clock Tower.

I'm not saying that either Final Fantasy VII's or Baten Kaitos's backdrops were not asthetically pleasing, but simply put, full polygonal environments would have been preferred over prerendered. Prerendered doesn't age well, and. simply does not hold up to higher resolutions. The use also feels stagnant and lifeless, and I'm not simply just referring to either FFVII or Baten Kaitos.

I believe it has worked in the past, such as Donkey Kong Country, but more often than not, prerendered environments hold the design of a game back. It restricts the animation of the environment, while preventing any type of direct or indirect camera control and movement.

Either way, Final Fantasy VII still provided me with an excellent four hours of fun, and Baten Kaitos is still an enjoyable experience nonetheless.

some mass effect 3 on and off, diablo3 daily and transformers fall of cybertron currently.

Played the Playstation Move Ape Escape demo. I thought was pretty good, even though it only had one level.

The fans can whine and complain about it for all I care. I like the original(I haven't played the sequels, but I hope to get them) and I like this one as well.

Silent Hill Origins.

I appreciate the commitment to an injured girl Travis, but the first time a reflection doesn't match, I'm out. If not that then the first time a fucked up nurse monster attacks me, nope... Get back in the truck. Shouldn't have left it anyway. Even if you did hit her with your semi, she fucking got back up and ran off... She's fine you moron.

I don't know - I admit that I'm not someone who cares about graphics all that much. But to me and my aesthetically dubious eye, FF7 still looks pretty rad (not the character models obviously - even I can tell they look rubbish now, but then they always did). The technical aspects of what graphics are 'better' than others has never interested me - if a game's visual style captures my attention, then that's good enough for me.

And my only bone to pick with Baiten Kaitos was that card battle system. That just did my head in completely.

Been playing on LOTR The Third Age lately......... it's not horrible.... actually for what it is and what it's based on, it's done very well...... but then again that's one of the problems with it too....

I need to finish that. I'm still at the part where the Orcs are invading using boats and the Gondor soldiers were ambushing them. It's a great game imo.

Soul Calibur 5

The only real problem I have with it is that you can't adjust music and sfx volumes. Three wargs on the field at once = oh gawd >.<

Oh, haha. I don't think I ever had that problem.

Those were the best part of the game. Except that one with the wave of juggernauts in the barrio. It came down to me purposely blocking the door with my body while my partner hid behind a chair that inexplicably made you invincible behind it.

Driver: San Francisco

What a nice surprise.

Sleeping dogs for the PC. A great console game port I must say, I wish more developers followed their ways on doing proper PC game ports.

Just finished Ghost Recon Future Soldier

I think I'll need to finish Advanced Warfighter and play Advanced Warfighter 2 in order to understand some things.

FarCry 2

Those were the best part of the game. Except that one with the wave of juggernauts in the barrio. It came down to me purposely blocking the door with my body while my partner hid behind a chair that inexplicably made you invincible behind it.

oh, the last spec op? thats my favorite.
anyway, i found out the online spec ops means you start a lobby and invite someone over. so now i cant do the two coop ops.

Well, Advance Wars arrived, so I've been hammering away at that. Like all AW games, its awesome. I'd have preferred a bit more variety of COs (there are a lot, but you only have 3 in each area, and there's no Tag Team option in this one). Black Hole seem like a much more professional and dangerous outfit in this game, than they were in Dual Strike. The missions also seem generally harder. I do miss Jake, and his hilarious 'hipster slang' though...

Also saw that Ace attorney 5 was confirmed, with Phoenix taking the lead role again. But no confirmation for release outside of Japan... Damn you Capcom - I want those games! Here's my money - come and take it from me!

Confirmed for US and Europe.
Ace Attorney 5 Is Coming To The U.S. [UPDATE] (http://kotaku.com/5940820/report-ace-attorney-5-is-coming-to-the-west)

They said that about Ace Attorney Investigations 2 - it didn't happen though. I'll believe it when I see it, basically.

Sucks that they seem to have dropped Apollo Justice though. That game was good, and the characters had promise. I hope they'll feature in the new game, and not just be retconned out. The Chords of Steel can't go out like this!

Towards the end of my Insanity Playthrough of Mass Effect 3 (On the first part of the Priority: Earth mission).

so... whos a bad enough dude to help me get the last trophy for mw2?

That 'Walking Dead' episode was finally released, so I burned through that. I have to say that I didn't enjoy it as much as the 2nd episode at all. The events that took place needed to happen, and most of the obvious candidates finally copped it. Wasn't wild about the first half of this episode - a few key moments were written very strangely indeed, and it drained the tension, as I was left thinking 'How did that even happen?' Ultimately, the episode felt a bit rushed IMO (and I know I was unhappy it was late, but that a case of anger at getting it later than other regions, not anger at the development time itself).

Regardless, it crams in a few too many locations and sequences, seemingly intent on hustling along at a feverish pace that didn't give the events that were occurring a chance to develop properly. I would have preferred that they made the episode purely focused around the events of the first 2 thirds, and really draw a line under that phase of the game, with the attention it deserved. As is, I felt that important events and characters were brushed off and dealt with a little too quickly (with one notable exception). Emotionally and in terms of pacing etc, the episode feels like it should end at a certain obvious point - yet it keeps rolling on, despite the last third being stuff that could be done at the start of the next episode, or even happen off-screen.

There were some really good moments - the halfway point is extremely powerful, and easily the highpoint of the episode. But for the most part, this cooled my jets a little on this game. It just felt like a transition episode, a 'big bit of middle', where not all the transitions went particularly smoothly or believably. It also culled the cast to the point where I don't really care that much about the people who are left. I don't *not* care - I just would have cared more had certain characters from the various episodes survived.

I don't know - I admit that I'm not someone who cares about graphics all that much. But to me and my aesthetically dubious eye, FF7 still looks pretty rad (not the character models obviously - even I can tell they look rubbish now, but then they always did). The technical aspects of what graphics are 'better' than others has never interested me - if a game's visual style captures my attention, then that's good enough for me.

And my only bone to pick with Baiten Kaitos was that card battle system. That just did my head in completely.

I can respect that. Though interestingly enough, as I've move further in BK, I've noticed that the developers used more than just prerendered CG for the environments. They also utilized paintings, and modeled clay on other types of environs. Goes back to my original thoughts on prerendered backdrops, but at least it provides variety. Looks like paintings are used for more organic maps versus the industrialized cities of Mintaka. Looks beautiful, but still lifeless. I've gotten used to it by now, since I've been in it for 24 hours or so.

The card system is a little difficult to wrap your head around at first, but once you figure it out, it's pretty easy to understand the in's and out's of the system.

Basically, each card has a spirit cost which ranges from 0 to 5 (at least at this point in the game). Tiers 0 through 3 are able to be played at any time during your turn, while 4 and 5 need the Spirit Meter built up by completing combos with lesser cost level cards. To run a combo, you must play the cards sequentially by their established Spirit Cost. Simply put; if you have cards in your hand that have 0 on one (which usually pertains to equipment), 1 on another (weak attack), 2 on another (medium attack), 3 on yet another (strong attack), then you simply play those in order from 0 to 3 which then opens up for character specific specials which reside in cards labeled with either a 4 or 5. However, you can't play two level cards of the same number on the same turn, and each card has to build up to the next. Meaning you can't string a combo by playing a 3 prior to playing a 1.

I realize that it's a lot to take in, but it starts to make sense once you get into it.

Flash Flash Revolution. Currently about 620 million from getting Veteran Status.

Just seemed like an awful lot of hassle to go through, to have a simple throwdown with enemies. I don't play JRPGs (or any RPGs for that matter) for the gameplay. Be it Final Fantasy, Elder Scrolls, Mass Effect, whatever, I'm playing for the story, the characters, exploring the world etc. Of course there needs to be some fighting, but my abiding hope for any RPG system is that it isn't obtrusive, that it doesn't get in the way too much, of the real reasons that I'm playing. If it can interest me with the systems, then that's a nice bonus (games like Demon's Souls/Dark Souls have done just that), but they're a rarity. Mostly, I treat RPG systems like the music in movies - I only remember and notice it when its bad.

An ideal RPG system for me, is simple enough that it lets you rattle off generic encounters quickly and easily, provided you know what you're doing, but has enough depth that the encounters that matter (typically bosses) can be satisfying, and worthwhile. Systems that are unnecessarily fiddly just frustrate me, because they aren't why I'm playing in the first place.

Borderlands

No story, just guns and killing and looting. The best kind of game.

Very true. I suppose if you can't get though complex RPG battle systems, there really isn't a point in playing, regardless of what form they may take. Baten Kaitos does indeed have a system that makes you stop and think, though to tell you the truth, this is only the second turn based RPG I've ever played, so I'm just geting over it myself. The first being Mario and Luigi Superstar Saga -- now that was a fun game.

So I played Slender: The Eight Pages last night. Boy, did that get my heart racing, and I don't think I've ever played a game that legitimately creeped me out. I managed to collect four pages before I met my end.

What's sad is that I was able to collect all 8 pages in SlenderMod and not in the original. Either SlenderMod was a little easier, Slender is harder, or I'm just terrible at Slender. :p

Whatever happened to the rights to the IP? Does Sega just keep it out of spite (themselves being in no position to make games)?

The only reason Shenmue III didn't come about, was due to the high production costs of the previous installments and that Shenmue II was considered a 'financial failure' (Shenmue II sold only 400k units, compared to Shenmue's 1.3 million units). After that, Sega put the series 'On Hold'.

There has been numerous attempts by fans to persuade Sega to finish this series with Shenmue III (Having the last 6 chapters, as Shenmue had the first chapter, Shenmue II had chapters 3-5. Chapter 2 was released in a manga form "Shenmue: Side Story" (originally published in the Japanese publication, Dorimaga)) on Facebook, Twitter and myspace.

Sega still has the IP... probably just don't know what to do with it...

I put Metroid Prime on hold, since the latest God of War Collection update came out, and now that it supports Remote Play on the PS Vita, with no lag, I can enjoy this PS3 HD remake from my room on the PS Vita while the game streams from my PS3 in my livingroom. It's amazing how well it runs and the video quality is great. Sony optimized it strictly for the Vita, which means it won't work on the PSP.

Armored Kill and then blops 2 in then november.

Going to play some more King Arthur The Roleplaying Wargame tomorrow.

I'm wishing I had the Vita. But I've heard Sony won't lower the price on it(if it's true), which means I won't be able to get it. :(

Wait till there's a bundle with a game you want. Or get one off eBay.

Double Dragon Neon (PSN)

Not bad, kind of weird looking.

Yeah, I downloaded that game for free. I'll play it some day. I hear the music is bad-ass.

Going to try Slenderman's Shadow.

I had serious framerate issues, so I gave up and let the Slenderman take me.

I'm currently 50 some odd hours into Baten Kaitos Origins, and it seems like I've hardly scratched the surface. At least I have a ship now which allows me to fly between islands.

Just finished Tales of Graces f. It... was a Tales game. Not really massively better or worse than the others I've played.

After much waiting, saving, technical hassle, searching and fucking walking to get a PSN card, I finally can play Tomba! on my PSP and it is magical. Those PSone classics are a goldmine of games and of actual cash for Sony because I plan to go broke with them. :laugh:

Finished Ghostbusters: The Videogame on PS3 - a little short, but a riot none the less. :D Apart from some niggly control issues (but then I presume controlling a stream of accelerated protons in mid air would be just as difficult in real life. ;)) I thoroughly enjoyed it - and with the original cast from the films onboard for voice acting (Bill Murray's deadpan puns especially had me constantly on the floor in laughter, just like in the films :p), it increased the awesome factor tenfold.

But then, I'm a child of the 80's so any fun, nostalgic romp back to the decade of my youth is always a good thing. ;)

I've been wanting to play Battlefield 3 for the past two days, but I kept getting this stupid disc error/unreadable disc error(Xbox360), even though the game worked perfectly three days ago. Is anyone else having this issue, because I can't be the only one. Plus, it's pissing me off that DICE isn't acknowledging if it's a problem from them or the game it self(which is unlikely, since my copy only has one scratch and a couple of minor scratches).

Warhammer: Battle March on the 360

Despite its shortcomings as a port, it's pretty good.

Isn't disk read errors a common thin on the 360?

It happened to my brand new copy of Halo: Reach the first time I put it in the console.

It's not common for me. Battlefield 3's the only game getting that. The only thing I don't understand is why did the multiplayer disc work before and why is it not working now. The singleplayer disc is fine.

Edit: Welp, it's the game itself. Guess I'll have to get another copy. :/

Osu!

It's a free rhythm game for pc, I suggest everyone into rhythm games try it out. Note that it is absurdly difficult.

Splinter Cell: Pandora Tomorrow

I was either spoiled by Chaos Theory's and Double Agent's aiming system, or the aiming system in the first Splinter Cell and it's sequel hasn't aged well. Aiming is so frustrating for me. The game is great so far. I just can't stand how the aiming feels imprecise at times.

Final Fantasy II Dawn of Souls (GBA)

Kirby's Dream Land 3... it's gonna feel like a real accomplishment when I am finally done with this game. lol

I'm thinking about playing Skyrim sometime. I'm curious about one thing, though. Who ARE the Forsworn? There's ones that attack me for no reason, and friendly ones I met in prison during that quest where you had to escape from a prison in Markarth.

I don't know that much about them, except that I've heard they're people that lean towards the old ways and the impression they're giving me is that they're savages.

Edit: Lord of the Rings: The Third Age. Currently at Osgiliath Landing

homefront. cant believe i actually met people looking for the online trophies too

Not really playing a game, but I'm hanging around Playstation Home

Borderlands 2! Its everything the original should have been!

Kirby's Adventure. WHOO

most kawaii game I've ever played

Advance Wars 1 - its always odd to play the first game in a series last! Obviously not as developed as the later ones, but still a great game and the multiple different paths you can take through the game is something that the later ones don't have. Story feels a little sparse and rushed compared to the others (although the basic idea is sound). The final mission was very good too - an absolutely epic throwdown, that is far better than the cheap 'sneak in the back and blow up the objective' ending to Advance Wars 2, and the joke of a final level that AW: Dual Strike had. Was still a little disappointed that Sturm had so little story though.

Fine games. They should make another Advance Wars with this cast of the first 3 games. Days of Ruin was a great game, and probably had the best actual gameplay of any of them, but the cast of characters, world and story weren't nearly as endearing.

Some of the prerequisites for unlocking a ship in FTL is RETARDED...

FTL?

FTL?
"Faster Than Light"

It's a pretty cool game, and it was one of those "funded by kickstarter" type of deals.

never heard of it in all my years of gamin.

never heard of it in all my years of gamin.
It's fairly new, got if off of GOG (Good Old Games).

Made by like a 1/2 man team.

It's 'rouge-like', but it's still pretty darn fun...though sometimes I die more because of shit luck then lack of skills.

no wonder why i'd never heard of it...lol. some games, i die on purpose just to amuse myself.

I've seen FTL: Faster Than Light on steam, but I don't know much about it.

You control a spaceship, and you have to the end of each level.

It requires you to think about each encounter.

Fuel, missiles, upgrades, weapons, etc.

Any battle can kill you, if you screw up.

Yeah, I've just seen some pictures of it on steam, and it looks like one of those games where I can't handle the complexity of it, so I'm not sure about it. It would be nice if they released a demo.

I can get pretty hectic at times.

I've died, even AFTER winning the battle.

Oxygen is low, heath bay is broken, and there's a fire + hull break.

Fires cripple Oxygen tank, crew members are getting low HP because they're trying to put the fires out.

The fires die, but they're losing too much HP because they're asphyxiation is happening too quickly.




It's a GREAT little game, but it CAN get a bit hard.

Spent the weekend playing Resident Evil 6. Loved Chris and Jake's campaigns, Ada's is pretty good but Leon's was dull. I'm current collecting characters and costumes for The Mercenaries.
