Title: Game on! (What are you playing now) Post by: Brooklyn Luckfield on December 09, 2007, 09:03:38 PM oddly enough I'm surprised this old thread from the old forums wasn't started sooner. So what's everyone playing at the moment?
Elderscrolls: Oblivion (PS3 version) Title: Re: Game on! (What are you playing now) Post by: Mike on December 09, 2007, 09:47:00 PM SimCity 4.
Before that, it was Call of Duty 4, but I got tired of being owned. Title: Re: Game on! (What are you playing now) Post by: The Big Finale on December 10, 2007, 12:28:51 AM Super Robot Wars: Original Generation.
I think there's a certain irony in that I suck at strategy games, but love to play them. Title: Re: Game on! (What are you playing now) Post by: paul1290 on December 10, 2007, 02:34:25 PM Garry's Mod, Bioshock, and Hellgate London.
Title: Re: Game on! (What are you playing now) Post by: Brooklyn Luckfield on December 10, 2007, 03:09:04 PM Call of Duty 4 (PS3 version)
while not huge FPS fan, I do like CoD 4. It's a nice change from "ZOMG SHOOT DEM NAZI!!!1111" Title: Re: Game on! (What are you playing now) Post by: shadowdorothy on December 10, 2007, 03:18:26 PM all super robot war games, super star wars, pokemon r/b/y/g/ruby/saphire/emerald/d/p, xenosage 1, umm thats all the games i play must the time.
Title: Re: Game on! (What are you playing now) Post by: Mike on December 10, 2007, 03:55:35 PM Call of Duty 4 (PS3 version) Have you played the multiplayer? Apparently everyone I know rocks at it except for me.while not huge FPS fan, I do like CoD 4. It's a nice change from "ZOMG SHOOT DEM NAZI!!!1111" Title: Re: Game on!

Title: Re: Game on! (What are you playing now) Post by: Hobo on December 10, 2007, 05:18:28 PM Playing Morrowind, kinda slowed down, since I'm near the end of the main quest. Might go an become the leader of the other guilds and Morag Tong before much more in it.

Thank you bandai for making yet another bad Gundam game. I'm pretty bad at multiplayer myself but I do play multi with my bro. Title: Re: Game on! (What are you playing now) Post by: EyeOfPain on December 10, 2007, 06:14:00 PM Most recently, I've played Warcraft III, along with a bit of Starcraft. On my Wii, the most recent games would be Guilty Gear XX: Accent Core, Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn and Metroid Prime 3: Corruption, as well as Resident Evil 4 (GCN).
After about a year of disuse, I hooked my Xbox back up to the TV and played some Castlevania: Curse of Darkness, but not much else. Title: Re: Game on! (What are you playing now) Post by: Brooklyn Luckfield on December 11, 2007, 01:38:37 PM Sword of the Berserk: Gut's Rage (lolDreamcast)
Decent game while the exception of the voice cast calling him "Gatsu" which equals mega fail. Title: Re: Game on!

It is very good.
War. Title: Re: Game on! (What are you playing now) Post by: Brooklyn Luckfield on December 12, 2007, 10:33:34 PM Uncharted: Drake's Fortune
Fun game. Title: Re: Game on! (What are you playing now) Post by: The Final Negotiator on December 13, 2007, 12:13:13 PM Several old 2600 games (via an Atari Flashback) Yar's Revenge, Adventure, BattleZone, Air-Sea Battle, Breakout, Planet Smashers, and some car-racing game...
a Java guessing game... (one of my homework assignments) ...and now that my classes are done... Quake II deathmatch over XFire. What is it about this game that keeps me coming back? Oh yeah, lots of carnage, and the opportunity to Deathmatch with the likes of Homer Simpson, and Optimus Prime! Now I just need to get my other multiplayers functioning, and pick up an Orange Box, and I'll be on cloud 9. Well for a short while... Title: Re: Game on! (What are you playing now) Post by: Bllue on December 13, 2007, 08:14:51 PM metroid prime. classic, for the game cube, and i am currently sucking at it. anyone know how to got out after you defeat that first parasite... yeah, i'm a n00b. i know already....

Title: Re: Game on! (What are you playing now) Post by: Mike on December 13, 2007, 11:50:46 PM Madden 08. I'm just going to right ahead and admit this: I am embarassingly bad at Madden. I somehow beat the Patriots AS THE JETS but couldn't beat the Dolphins. DOLPHINS!
My main problems are these: I suck at defense. Any completed catch is probably going to go for 20 yards because I was too busy trying to sack. I tend to throw into mega four-man coverage because I'm not paying attention. Title: Re: Game on! (What are you playing now) Post by: Brooklyn Luckfield on December 15, 2007, 01:10:48 AM Call of Duty 4.
While multi-player is a blast, I wish the single player game was a bit longer but it's still pretty epic in it's own right. Title: Re: Game on! (What are you playing now) Post by: Hobo on December 15, 2007, 02:59:11 AM Started Majora's Mask again.
Just finished third set of three days, Snowhead cleared, nead to go back and re-kill mechagoat to get sweet sword and do the Romani Ranch business too. Such awesome atmosphere. Title: Re: Game on!

It's full of all sorts of glitches and bugs, but it's a great game when it's working correctly. If it didn't have so many technical issues, I would say it's even better than Bioshock. Title: Re: Game on! (What are you playing now) Post by: Big Money on December 15, 2007, 08:35:16 PM Started Majora's Mask again. Excellent game is excellent. Title: Re: Game on! (What are you playing now) Post by: Brooklyn Luckfield on December 15, 2007, 11:47:41 PM Silent Hill Origins
Despite all the crap surrounding this game by the super hard line SH fans, Origins is on par with 2 and 3, and much better than 4, even some rather reliable info that a PS2 port is on the way soon, with more content. Title: Re: Game on! (What are you playing now) Post by: paul1290 on December 16, 2007, 08:03:22 PM Garry's Mod 10
The most awesome source engine game ever made, because it can use content from every other source engine game ever made ;D That, and the large amount of user created content that comes out all the time.

O... kay. *still doesn't really get it* Played a bit of RE:TUC, and I think I'm a bit disappointed about the rail shooter aspect, but I'll keep trying, even though I still suck. Picked up Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney and Nanostray, both for the DS and both used. Wright is awesome, of course, and Nanostray is even freakin' harder than I expected. A lack of game data formating options is somewhat disappointing, too. I also bought the Platinum Edition of Warhammer 40k: Dawn of War, but because of some kind of problem with the Winter Assault serial, I can't play. ;_; Title: Re: Game on! (What are you playing now) Post by: Bllue on January 04, 2008, 03:23:42 PM Megaman x collection... more specificially, x5 I'm sorry, but i really dislike megaman. watching it is more entertaining, unless you're watching you're 6-year-old bro play the same part over and over and over and over and over.... plus, i'm just really bad at it.... Um, question, does anyone know how to get to the quarantiened area in metroid prime, the one for the game cube. i hate those damn sheegoths, who told them they could grow up???? Title: Re: Game on! (What are you playing now) Post by: Mike on January 04, 2008, 04:09:11 PM If you're having problems with the big Sheegoth, here's how to kill it: after it breathes ice at you, it will be tired and you can hit it in the face with a few missiles or charge shots. Just keep dodging and then repeat.
You can also kill it by rolling between its legs and bombing its stomach, but you'll get stepped on alot. Title: Re: Game on! (What are you playing now) Post by: Bllue on January 07, 2008, 06:55:47 PM no, i'm having trouble opening the doors. i can't reach those power things on top to activate the doors. do i have to use a super missle?

Can't get enough of this game, best on the 360 that I've played. Title: Re: Game on! (What are you playing now) Post by: Xel on January 08, 2008, 02:15:08 PM I finished Phoenix Wright 3. It made me cry. :<
I've started FFXII: Revenant Wings, though I wouldn't call it a... good game, by any means. It's cute fluff, I suppose. I also have yet to finish Persona 3 because Phoenix Wright consumed my life for a while. I also really want to play Portal. :X Title: Re: Game on!

It runs surprisingly well on my system. Turned everything up to high and no framerate dip yet. ;D Still cannot run in on very high though, my PC cries out in pain if I try to max the game out. Oh well. Title: Re: Game on! (What are you playing now) Post by: Mike on January 13, 2008, 09:36:39 PM Crysis I want your computer.

I dunno, maybe you're more clever than me, but every few battles there's one that stumps me pretty bad, and I have to go about it four or five different ways before I find something that works. But yeah it isn't crushingly hard or anything. Title: Re: Game on! (What are you playing now) Post by: Bllue on January 14, 2008, 06:42:37 PM my brother got call of duty for his birthday. it was supposed to be for christmas, but the child ruined it. it doesn't look as exciting as people make it out to be...
ummmm, back to metroid... the visor and wave beam don't work on the door i'm thinking of... i'm in a ruined courtyard, where i have to flood the place. that door won't open... Title: Re: Game on! (What are you playing now) Post by: Mike on January 14, 2008, 07:51:17 PM You probably don't have the thermal visor yet if you didn't flood that place. I think that there's a spinner or bomb slot or something that will flood the room.

Like Xel said, this game is a cake walk, then again every FF is, so it's nothing new to me and as always I've been playin FFXI like crazy, got 54COR/27RNG, good times. Title: Re: Game on! (What are you playing now) Post by: Hobo on January 19, 2008, 02:29:47 AM Tried a 7-day free trial of LotR Online or somesuch. I had forgotten how shitty the campus network was for online games, and the lag kept me from progressing past the intro area.

No dammit no! sorry. :-[ :'( *coughs. straightens self out* I love you for trying to help me. :D :-* I already have the thermal visor. and the super missle, and i beat the stupid aliens that try to sneak up on me.( >:() I'm back in that flood room. i have to get into the quarantined area where the metroids are becoming particularly rambunctious. :-\ but i have to open the door by using the power conduit that is on top of it, and i don't know how to reach it. missles, wave, and power beams don't work. the thermal visor only shows me what i already know, and i can't reach in morph ball. So, do you know how to open the door that makes me want to kill every living thing? Title: Re: Game on! (What are you playing now) Post by: EyeOfPain on January 19, 2008, 05:50:17 PM Bllue: If I remember correctly, that particular conduit is covered (unless you already broke it), and should be revealed with a Super Missile. After that, the Wave Beam should provide power to the door.

Unfortunately, I don't remember the mines that well. Have you tried checking a walkthrough on a site like GameFAQs (http://www.gamefaqs.com)? Title: Re: Game on!

I can't get a giant gun to disintegrate a rock wall.... You're at the top of the room, right? There's a spinner someplace, or a switch or somethin that you can use to turn the big laser mining thing to aim at the wall. One of the pieces of wall has a missile expansion behind it.Title: Re: Game on! (What are you playing now) Post by: Bllue on January 30, 2008, 09:38:46 PM I can aim the gun, but it won't shoot... :-\
Title: Re: Game on! (What are you playing now) Post by: Mike on January 30, 2008, 10:22:20 PM I think there's a ball slot, or something you have to scan to make it shoot.
I've been playing World in Conflict. It's awesome. You get to use a battleship as a death-paintbrush. And everything...EVERYTHING...can be blown to hell. Title: Re: Game on!

If you don't, it's easy to get. Go back to the room in Chozo Ruins that had a ton of poison in the floor, and those tentacaley things. There were things you had to scan in order to open a great big door that would lead you to the Charge Beam. Go there, and go into the water. There's a passage down there that leads to a new room. Climb up to the new room (you have to use missiles to break the blocks on the wall - it'll make sense when you get there) and you'll get the Waveblaster, which kicks the crap out of the cloaked robot thing. You can also fight it with normal weapons, but it's really hard. Title: Re: Game on!

It's so awesome. It's a RTS set in space, where you start on a single planet, and you can see that there are planets in certain directions. If you explore those planets, you can figure out if they're Terran, volcanic, ice, an asteroid, or just an electromagnetic cloud, and then you can see more planets, which are connected to the one you just visited. Everything but the cloud can be colonized, making the planet yours, and allowing you to build structures on and around the planet. There's buttloads of research to be done, split into four parts, two of which are unique for each of the three races, one controls fleet size and number of capitol ships, and the other is artifacts. If you explore the planets you colonize, you might find artifacts, and they give your fleet boosts. The only one I found on the five planets I colonized gave all my ships increased antimatter regeneration. For the purposes of this game, antimatter is the same thing as mana, only spacier. I was bottlenecked against a pirate base, I kept trying to take it down, but every time they just overwhelmed me. I stopped when I realized I had been playing for the past 5 hours. Highly recommended. Title: Re: Game on! (What are you playing now) Post by: Bllue on February 17, 2008, 06:53:45 PM spider solitare is strangely addicting...

And then it turns out that DeDeDe got the Final Smash ball for the third time in the same match, because his up-air has so many hits. And then he chain-grabs you off of the edge in the Mario Kart level, because his downthrow-move to the side-regrab is a totally broken combo. Sorry, some guy who loves to take the fun out of SSBM has already found a way to kill it in Brawl, within 3 hours of it starting up. Title: Re: Game on!

Is there any big difference between the nvidia 8800 GT or GTS other than about $150? edit: there's a 9000 series now? How much better than the 8's are those? Title: Re: Game on! (What are you playing now) Post by: paul1290 on February 29, 2008, 03:16:34 PM There doesn't seem to be a specific computer help thread, so I'll ask this here. Is there any big difference between the nvidia 8800 GT or GTS other than about $150? edit: there's a 9000 series now? How much better than the 8's are those? Only the midrange 9600 cards are out right now and they aren't that much better. I would pick the 8800GT over the GTS. The 8800GT probably has the best cost vs. performance ratio of any card out there at the moment. It's actually faster than the older 8800GTS even though it costs less. The more recent re-designed 8800GTS are better than the old ones, but not enough to justify spending another $150. The 8800GT is more than good enough for pretty much any game available at the moment. Title: Re: Game on! (What are you playing now) Post by: Mike on February 29, 2008, 08:26:45 PM OK, awesome. I still might wait a month to see how expensive the 9800's are. If they're insanely expensive I'll go with the 8800 GT. I mainly want this for Crysis and the eventual GTAIV.

I've got about 76% of the Subspace completed... still gotta figure out this Subspace Maze thing. Unlocked most of the characters except for Wolf, Jigglypuff, Toon Link and Sonic.... Still trying to figure out how the HECK you meet Sonic or Wolf (or the others) in the Subspace Emissary like you "supposedly" can. Met every other character and their brother... but no Sonic or Wolf. also, BRAWL again... because I can. *edited for lack of characters I don't have unlocked* Title: Re: Game on!

You meet Sonic right before the final boss. Wolf, Toon Link and Jigglypuff are weird. You don't actually meet them until after you beat the game, then replay certain levels. Title: Re: Game on! (What are you playing now) Post by: DOMON KASSHU! on March 23, 2008, 09:11:01 AM Call of Duty 4.

I did find the doors for Jigglypuff and Wolf, though. Title: Re: Game on! (What are you playing now) Post by: Mike on March 26, 2008, 01:42:21 PM The door to Toon Link is right in the beginning, hovering above the ground. And it's good it's right there because he killed me like 4 times.

Title: Re: Game on! (What are you playing now) Post by: paul1290 on March 29, 2008, 11:27:33 AM The Z air (mid-air grapple) move for Samus is unexpectedly awsome beyond belief. It's faster than almost any other attack of similar range. Most character have very little or no defence against it. It's damage is good an it stuns surprisingly well. Short hopping Z air is insanely effective against anyone human sized or taller, and it stuns well enough to follow up with a combo or charge shot. It's also an excellent alternative to missile cancelling at shorter ranges. Many thanks to Hylian from the smash boards for discovering this move's effectiveness. ;D
Also, for some strange reason Samus's normal melee combo seems to be unusually good at stopping most attacks in the game. Another odd side-effect of the transition from Melee to Brawl is that the second hit (swinging the arm cannon down) now has a rather unusual hitbox. You can often hit people from certain directions even if they technically aren't touching the attack. Even more wierd is that you can occasionally use it to block projectiles while facing the other way. ??? On the down side, morph ball bombs are now super-useless as an attack. There still good for dodging and for bomb jumping to get back on the stage, but other than that they really can't be used for much since they're now explode on a timer instead of proximity or contact. Also, the damage and knockback of the super missiles has been reduced a lot, but the homing missiles are now much faster and somewhat more damaging which I think more than makes up for it.

A classic in my book. Title: Re: Game on! (What are you playing now) Post by: The Final Negotiator on April 11, 2008, 12:08:17 PM I can't believe that this completely slipped my mind...
I teamed up with my "future brother-in-law" to play House of the Dead 2 and 3 on the Wii (his) back at Easter. What was memorable was that my 4-year-old niece wanted to play. Was she scared? No, because her Uncle...er...Negotiator "the monster fighter" was there. (A little background: A while ago, she once told me she thought a monster was around and she was afraid. I told her "There are no monsters here, because if any show up, I'll beat them up", and that made her feel better... So I'm the "monster fighting" uncle now... 8) Mind you, we're not talking Disney-/Monster's Inc.-/Muppet-type monsters. She likes them...) So, there I was, unmercifully fragging monsters, yelling "Go away!" and "Hey! Leave my niece alone!", as my future b-i-l assisted my niece in taking out a few of them. She was so unafraid, that she started to yell "Yeah! Go away!" at the monsters. Classic... ;D Title: Re: Game on!

It's a leveling-up system. Killing someone gets you 10 points, an assist gets you 2, and so on. More points = leveling up. Leveling up = new weapons, new perks (things that help your ownage, like extra damage or extra health or better wall penetration and such) Title: Re: Game on!

And you need to be able to double bomb jump once you have the ice beam, but you need it two or three times before then for other things, and honestly the timing isn't difficult for that at all. But yeah, uh, the game is freakishly difficult. A few times I've had to go look at somebody's playthrough because I didn't know what the hell I was supposed to do. Actually both of those were when I something I assumed was impossible was just something I didn't know how to do (or didn't know was possible) and had to do with the physics changes.

A solid game, and not bad for 20 bucks, although listen to the JP voices, and while I'm one of the biggest supporters of dubs around, the english voice acting is awful.

The game is 14 years old and it's no longer compatible with today's operating systems and needs to be run in DOSBox to work properly in XP or Vista. However, it still has to be one of the best, if not the best, strategy games ever made. About the only thing that might be bad about it is that it's very unforgiving even at beginner difficulty, but you get used to it pretty quickly. The Steam version comes packaged with DOSBox already properly configured so you now have no reason not to get this game. Title: Re: Game on! (What are you playing now) Post by: Hobo on September 08, 2008, 11:28:38 PM I uninstalled Steam because I saw it start to eat up another five gigs of space for no reason.
I hadn't initiated any downloads, it installed, took up as much space as it said it would. Then I ran it, and all of a sudden my freespace on my only internal here shrank a gig. Then another. Then another. Then I shut down Steam, and uninstalled it, because hell if I'll let a non-WoW-Beta do that to me. Title: Re: Game on!

This is definitely a Valve game. By Valve game I mean they take a relatively simple concept then test, tweak, and refine it to death until it's perfect. It doesn't do much in the way of innovation but what it does do it does exceptionally well. You would definitely be hard pressed to find a multi-player zombie survival game as well balanced and fine tuned as Left 4 Dead. They've obviously playtested the heck out of this thing because they seem to have anticipated just about every possible thing you can do in the game and built the game around accordingly. The AI director really does seem to mix things up enough that you can play the same map over many times and not have the exact same experience twice. All the boss zombies in the game seem specifically designed to really throw a wrench into the works and the AI can send them your way whenever it feels like it. The pacing is really good with randomely spaced moments of silent tension and all out fighting. In that regard the AI occasionally likes to fake you out and pull off a scare. One time we cleared the subway station of zombies and were just looking around for first aid when one of us wandered off a bit too far and a smoker comes out of nowhere, grabs him, and dragged him away up the stairs. Since he was a bit far away from us it was quite a mad dash to get to him before he got strangled to death. This was actually our seventh time through the same level and the fact that the game still had plenty of tricks up its sleeve after so many playthroughs is impressive to say the least.

I normally avoid like FPS's like weeaboo's avoid anything western, but Res 2 is pretty cool. Quote I beat the game a few days ago and have to say, I expected better but even better, the butthurt fan boys are already making mods to "make it like a true fallout game" nonsense. I take this back. The more I think about it, No Mutants Allowed is right, I question Bethsofts reasons for buying Fallout. Not to mention the amount of canon and lore rape that takes place in Fallout 3, but still it's a decent game. Title: Re: Game on!

And AC4 was good as well, but the newest one, the one giving me trouble, is AC4A (Armored Core 4 Answer), which takes place after AC4. The controls are the same, with one added feature that when you have certain Over Boosters equipped...or was it the generator...anyway, some part...your Primal Armor becomes Attack Armor, which is lethal even to an AC with almost full health, but it only works at an extremely close range and only if your Primal Armor is active. But like I said, fighting 4 ACs that are attacking you all at once from all angles is no easy task. If you were getting it for the 360, I would challenge you to a 1v1 match online sometime.

Yeah, 1v1 would be awesome. Back at home, I tried to get my friends interested in 1v1, but that was back in the day of AC2 when multiplayer was cumbersome and rudimentary. Looks like it won't come to pass between us, either. Though it's interesting to note that many games, including AC4 and its expansion, run better on XBox than on PS3. It's just that PS3 has more of the games that I want to play. Now this is sort of swerving off the topic, but I'm curious, what type of Core do you tend to favor? Title: Re: Game on! (What are you playing now) Post by: Brooklyn Luckfield on January 23, 2009, 06:05:11 AM Quote Though it's interesting to note that many games, including AC4 and its expansion, run better on XBox than on PS3. Such is the curse of Multi Platform games on the PS3, they more often than not do look slightly better on the 360, however, with PS3 exclusives such as Killzone 2, the PS3 shows it true power. Also playing: Wild Arms 2 Title: Re: Game on! (What are you playing now) Post by: Char Aznable on January 24, 2009, 03:51:20 AM That mission still giving me problems on AC4A...
Aside from that, I've been playing Dead Rising. One Guy, over 52,000 zombies, a mall, and almost everything is a weapon? How can you go wrong? ___________________________ Well, in the classic AC style, a lacking ability to dodge led me to building tank units that usually included wielding a Bazooka in one arm and a Howitzer in the other, with the Extension to disable my enemy's Lock-On. However, the new control setup for AC4 and AC4A (Also referred to as Armored Core For Answer on the front of the box, but everything else says 4Answer) has a Quick Boost ability, making dodging not only feasible, but easy for most AC pilots. And do utilize fine tuning and stabilizers. But, back to the question, considering this new ability to dodge, I ditched the tank design and usually use a Medium Biped unit that comes from a hodgepodge of Corporations to optimize Speed, Maneuverability, and AP. The weaponry varies on the mission, from a laser-plasma combo to full-out chainguns. One such AC, Rapidfire, wields two machine guns and both back weapons are chainguns. I later altered Rapidfire into Gatlingfire, and made it into a tank unit (in the new control system is the ability to "skate" your AC, and you can skate tanks as well) that has one Gatling Gun on each arm and one on each shoulder. I also have a medium-light unit known as Reaper that has several weapon variants. The first one had a Machine Gun and a high-impact Kojima blade that was devastating at close range. The second has two of these Kojima Blades, but the blades are not a fan of using a Lock-On, making it hard to hit a target without the Proper FCS equipped. The third Reaper unit has two Moonblades, and an FCS specifically designed for blade use. All of these Reaper units and some of my other unit variants have added side boosters for extra sideways dodging ability for the quick boost and an extra back booster for the back equipment for an added forward thrust and quick boost. I do have other units I threw together, but they aren't readily in my memory. Once you get AC4A and you get to the "Defeat Stigro" Mission, my suggestion is to make a gatling-based AC, start the mission, don't move and let Stigro come to you. As it gets closer, open fire and just let the bullets fly. Stigro is large enough that you can actually shoot before it is in range and still hit it. You will, however, have to thrust vertically as you are firing and Stigro gets closer, but in all actuality, if done correctly, Stigro will be destroyed before it even gets all the way to you and you will have an easy S. Fans of Mobile Suit Gundam will recognize that, besides the name, the design of the Stigro shows much tribute to the Principality of Zeon. The name, I refer to the space unit Bygro, and its appearance reminded me somewhat of the Big Zam, as did the weaponry. Here is an interesting article about AC4A, and i must say that I would rather have that cover. Also, there is an artist sketch of Stigro that can be clicked on for enlargement purposes. When you first see it, you are doing a mission...I think for Interior Union...you are just destroying everything and I was wondering who took tech from Zeon. Then actually fighting it later on and it comes at you head on... http://www.gamesetwatch.com/2008/08/draft_column_robotochan_armore.php Your asking my Core preference wasn't really off topic, it is Video Game related, my slight Gundam tangent however, was. Title: Re: Game on! (What are you playing now) Post by: R. Daniel 01 on January 24, 2009, 06:46:44 AM Very very interesting. Thanks for the article.
Your mention of differing FCS systems and these powerful extensions really has me impressed. It sounds much deeper and more balanced than AC3. Heh, as for your preference, I was hoping you would say tank or biped. I wanted to remain different, and so I have. I don't know if AC4 has it, but my favorite for arena matches was always the hover body. I never went all-out sheer firepower like you, because it doesn't sit well with me, and it often didn't work. My favorite was to give my AC a (preferably energy-type) machine gun, zoom around all over the place, back forth, up and down, hold down the trigger and ride the hover body like a magic carpet. And then set up mines and draw the enemy into them. No shoulder-weapons except for ammo extensions... or quick-turn boosters. If AC4 has it, I would also equip a heat-pistol like they had in AC2 as the secondary... try shooting your lasers then! Probably my core would lack the firepower to take down the heavy tank-types, so I'd need to equip a blade instead. But generally my tactic is to be like a guerrilla mosquito. Make you flinch and overheat. Make you look all around to track me. Dodging missiles and fire is fun! Does AC4 have the parts necessary for that style? Title: Re: Game on! (What are you playing now) Post by: Char Aznable on January 25, 2009, 03:46:25 AM AC4 might have a couple of Hover units, but they've been reducing the hover legs. With the auto-hover ability, you no longer have to have a hover unit to keep out of the water. And I do remember that AC3 has different FCS parts.
Like the article states, each AC game takes the information from all of those previous and makes it better and adds something epically new. Now, while I have problems controlling an AC using the controls of AC3 (because at some point they upgraded to the dual-stick system), I must ask, do you know where to find Ammo for the internal weapon "X"? You know, that you-can-find-the-weapon-but-must-find-ammo-to-use-it nuke weapon? I have "X" equipped to one of my units, but it has no ammo. Which leads me to another point, Internal weapons have gone by the wayside, as have buying those upgrade parts that do random things like emit pulses to disable missile tracking and so on and so forth. Back to your hover design... With the new control system, there really isn't a need for the hover leg part at all. You can do the same hovering in a tank, a quad, a chicken-leg, a biped, light, medium, heavy, albeit at different speeds of course, but still can be done. I hover my units constantly, and with the right Generator and boosters, at little cost. Oh, Radiators have gone by the wayside, making your flamethrower useless. I know, that was how to beat Exile easily in the parking lot...or so my friends said...but yeah, that was another reason I ditched the Bazooka/Howitzer combo. A big part of that setup was causing an opponent in the Arena to overheat drastically, taking further AP damage. Like I said, AC4 and AC4A are a whole new ball game, built to be faster and more intense. I read in that article that AC4A will not draw new players because of the intensity of the game, and I've found that they'd rather have some clear enemy that's usually seemingly alien, than fighting other humans in giant mechas. Me on the other hand...I love my robots. Again going back to your AC (yes I am extremely ADD), I'm not sure about energy machine guns in the newer two games. Some of your classic parts are still in the game, so if you aren't sure about what to do when seeing new parts you don't know, some of your classics are still around. I should somehow record me using my AC variants on the new games to show you what they are capable of now. You no longer have the box that your target has to be in. That box is the whole screen. Anyway, You can easily make a biped hover like you like to do, and the quick boost will make it more fun for you. I should open an AC discussion thread, and will do so when I'm not so tired and someone suggests the optimum place to locate the thread. I'm just rambling on now about ACs and their finer parts, and my sleeping pill is kicking in, but feel free to ask me anything about AC. Oh, and if you like beam parts, and you get Armored Core Last Raven (PS2), I made a hover unit, forgot the name, but it has weapon arms that are dual beam blades. fun to use sometimes, but not really overall practical.

Ironically, Saint's Row 2 is closer to the style of the old Grand Theft Auto games than GTA IV is. However, don't get it for PC unless you have a quad core processor, they used the shitty GTA IV style quick and cheap PC port technique where you're essentially running the Xbox 360 version through an emulator in disguise so the whole thing is CPU bound, making hardly any use of the GPU whatsoever and murdering performance. >:( Title: Re: Game on!

It's actually pretty sweet, although I never played the first game. Reminds me of Doom 3 but instead of demons on Mars, it's superpowered psychic mindfuckery. not on Mars. My only real complaint is the way dead bodies just disappear a couple seconds after you shotgun their faces. While you're still looking at them. I know every game can't be Fallout 3 where everyone you ever kill, ever, stays there for all time, but they could at least play it like Call of Duty 4 and make corpses disappear only after you looked away and they're off screen. Title: Re: Game on! (What are you playing now) Post by: Char Aznable on March 04, 2009, 03:04:22 PM Guilty Gear XX Accent Core plus. I was just playing that myself. That, Guilty Gear X, Guilty Gear X2, and Guilty Gear Isuka a little bit.Don't like that they got rid of the awesome voice, but love the return of instant-kills, and the introduction of A.B.A.'s Instant-Kill. But something has been bothering me, did they ever make guilty gear into an anime? I've been having trouble determining this... Title: Re: Game on! (What are you playing now) Post by: Toji on March 05, 2009, 04:57:14 AM One of the changes I didn't like with accent core plus was what they did to Jam. Powering up her special attacks just to be able link them together I think is bullshit. The AI may give me the time to power her up, but fat chance that another person would.
I really haven't tried all the characters yet. I've tried Jam, Order Sol, Potemkin and Robo Ky Title: Re: Game on! (What are you playing now) Post by: Char Aznable on March 05, 2009, 11:51:42 AM actually...Jam is my primary character, and I put her moves in quickly...I'll have to try it out, as I don't play Accent Core that much.

The greatest space combat sim ever made. Never before and never again were space battles so epic. I currently have Freespace 2 Open 3.6.10 installed with the latest graphical upgrades, looks awesome especially with the new lighting and shadow effects. 8) Thanks goes to the many coders, modellers, texture artists, and effects artists who donate their time and effort to continue improving and developing this great game.

It was pretty short, again, but seemed deeper than Anchorage. Maybe because it had more than one new gun and 2 armors. Plus you can go back there afterwards. I have the PC version, so mine works. I saw a clip on Youtube of someone attempting to play the 360 version, it looks like someone accidentally posted a working pre-beta build on Live. lulz. Title: Re: Game on!

An epic total conversion mod for Deus Ex. This is probably the best single player total conversion mod I have ever seen. In terms of content and gameplay, The Nameless Mod can kick a lot of full games square in the balls and makes fun of their moms. It's storyline is surprisingly good and well presented despite the admittedly silly concept behind it, a lot better than one would expect from a mod.

Title: Re: Game on! (What are you playing now) Post by: R. Daniel 01 on April 10, 2009, 10:37:32 AM I finally downloaded Command and Conquer: Tiberian Dawn, aka the original.
I only care enough to play through GDI, and I've gotten up to the last mission. I think the original Command and Conquer is more creative, and a hell of a lot more difficult than Red Alert. It's not as fully developed as Red Alert, but it's more daring. I enjoy all the missions with building restrictions; they're like puzzles. The 3d cutscenes are really quaint, although most of them don't have anything to do with any mission. They were a lot cooler when I was 8. Anyway, to talk about challenges, the last mission for GDI is a beast. Nod can plant down buildings wherever it pleases? Waves and waves of stealth tanks? I relish it. I can't even imagine how I'm going to beat it, but I'm sure it's going to involve a fair amount of chokepoint-camping. With humvees zooming around at home to keep down the infestations. If anybody has any words of wisdom or recollections of the last GDI mission, please share. Title: Re: Game on! (What are you playing now) Post by: paul1290 on April 13, 2009, 10:03:51 PM Diablo II

2 wasn't bad, but I was never a fan of Outcast, and never played Academy. I'm currently replaying the Starcraft campaigns, and got around to getting the PC version of L4D, which doesn't really run on my laptop, so I'll most likely be playing it in a week or so. Title: Re: Game on! (What are you playing now) Post by: Mike on May 05, 2009, 09:20:03 PM OK so I've been having a problem with Games for Windows Live.
I'm trying to play Fallout. It doesn't automatically login to Live for some reason. When I click on "Live" it just says "signing in" and nothing happens. At all. I've left it there for a half an hour and NOTHING happens. And it worked perfectly about a week ago. I tried going to support.live.com, all I got was a phone number to call. That phone number said they only support Xbox live, for Windows help I need to go to support.live.com. I used to think you were ok, Microsoft. Assholes. Title: Re: Game on! (What are you playing now) Post by: R. Daniel 01 on May 07, 2009, 02:41:50 PM Oh your god I miss Dark Forces. Hell yeah. One of my favorite parts is the robotics facility, on hard. After you set the charges and kill the Phase 2 trooper, then you have to go through an Alien-esque series of ventilation tunnels, hunted by Phase 1 troopers, like some kind of first-person pac-man. Except replace the cutesy ghosts with towering death-droids equipped with a vibro-sword and a reflective shield. Laying mines behind you, trying to avoid the dead-ends. Intense shit! Still, though, I have to complain about DF in some areas. The enemies tend to have no variety, and some of the weapons are silly. Like the autogun--where does that fit in Star Wars? It's belt-fed... but doesn't fire bullets... eh? And the fusion cutter... not only does it not operate like a cutting tool... it doesn't really serve any particular function, except to sound cool and look funny. Any other gun can do what the cutter does, except with greater efficiently. Even the alt-fire for the fusion cutter is weak, when it SHOULD be a BFG-like room-sweeper. It's such a disappointment that none of the enemies lay mines, none use the auto-gun, none use the fusion cutter (plenty of opportunities for hypothetical technicians, miners and factory workers to wield those), and none use the grenade launcher. It's a shame that enemies using thermal detonators and the concussion appear so rarely. It gets tiresome killing the same identical stormtroopers, commandos and officers, whose only difference is their sprite and their amount of health. I was surprised to find, earlier today in fact, that the lead designer really did include weapons based on how cool they sounded, rather than what purpose they served in the game. Unlike Doom, for example, where every gun felt unique and suited towards different situations. At least, to me. Still, as level designers and programmers, they were friggin' genius. Quote I'm currently replaying the Starcraft campaigns Brood War, or original? Even now, I can't get past Zerg mission 8 in Brood War. I once watched a friend of mine beat it for me--he was a macro-management monster. Have you tried playing the Enslaver campaign? I would like to know if you can beat Enslaver03b, and if so--how!

Even though I just paid $5 to play an incomplete game that may or may not work, and even though yesterday's session was pretty much screwed by griefers, it was totally worth it. Presenting the game that is actually multiplayer! *gasp* Many games claim to be multiplayer, but they're really just single players playing alongside one another driven by the delusion that they look cool in front of the others. This game actually is multiplayer in that you actually interact with other players and what you do affects everyone else. Still buggy as hell and incomplete though. I'd recommend waiting for the final game unless you're willing to consider $5 a reasonable donation to the game's development. Title: Re: Game on!

A very underrated Gem, and is surely going to be swept under the rug with the big titles like Uncharted 2 and MW 2. Title: Re: Game on! (What are you playing now) Post by: Char Aznable on October 27, 2009, 01:59:45 AM First off, an update to that whole "My ex and her Oblivion" issue...
So...she went into the game's coding files. Somehow she figured out that it was the water that was making the game crash, so she went in and rewrote the code. I think she had to reduce the textures to zero or something. Now the game works and the water is Acid Purple. Moving on... DW: Gundam 2...again (still PS2) Guitar Hero 5 (360, and I'm loving the customizable characters and the detail.) Gears of War 2 (finally bought it. enjoying it. Also enjoying the ability to use bots and get all of the multiplayer achievements without having to go online, I don't like constantly moving my modem out of the basement.) Quote from: Graham Aker MW 2 Does that MW stand for what I think it might stand for?Title: Re: Game on! (What are you playing now) Post by: Brooklyn Luckfield on October 27, 2009, 01:16:31 PM Way of the Samurai 3 (PS3)
Still chugging along and earning trophies. The game has a bunch of swords and styles to master. Quote Does that MW stand for what I think it might stand for? Indeedy. Title: Re: Game on! (What are you playing now) Post by: Hobo on November 04, 2009, 08:39:17 AM Got Majora's Mask for VC.

New strategy involves only having Morrigan in the party when fighting or planning on being a jerk, lest she start to hate me. Title: Re: Game on! (What are you playing now) Post by: paul1290 on November 06, 2009, 09:38:49 AM Dragon Age: Origins for PC as well.
I agree, Morrigan is an asshole. I've been bringing her along for lack of party members in the beginning but I think I won't be having her in the party as often anymore, if at all. My main character is already a mage with damage dealing spells anyway. Title: Re: Game on! (What are you playing now) Post by: Brooklyn Luckfield on November 06, 2009, 12:54:05 PM Dragon Age Origins (PS3)
Still trucking along. I agree Hobo and Paul, Morrigan is bitch. I've pretty much leave her behind and my party normally consists of Myself (Warrior), Lei (Rouge but use her as ranged support), Sten (Cmon, Mark Hildreth enough said), and the one mage that uses healing spells. I gotta give it to Bioware, they really out did themselves this time. Title: Re: Game on!

Title: Re: Game on! (What are you playing now) Post by: Mike on November 07, 2009, 10:55:54 AM Dragon Age is SO AWESOME.
For my party I usually use: me (human sword-and-shield warrior) either Morrigan or Lileana for ranged support and Shale. For tankage and overall hilarity. He's the HK-47 of this game. I think my favorite thing about the game is the fact that everyone is a smart ass. It's great. Especially Shale. Title: Re: Game on! (What are you playing now) Post by: Hobo on November 08, 2009, 01:58:13 PM They have voice acting, so it isn't very text-boxy.
I'm currently rolling with myself, Allistar, Wynne and Leil. I just got started in Dwarf land, and really want to play through the Dwarven Noble starting line now. I'm also hoping to give enough gifts to Allistar to make him forgive me for what I did in Redcliff, Morrigan to get her bonuses should I ever actually need to use her, and Sten so I can learn about giant people land. I wish the dog was more useful, because I really like him getting me free stuff. Title: Re: Game on! (What are you playing now) Post by: Mike on November 08, 2009, 05:15:09 PM Sten hasn't really said much of anything. About anything.
So far I've finished Dwarf town, Mage tower, and Redcliffe, including the ashes. And a bunch of side quests. I finally got enough coin to buy the rest of the blood dragon armor set, so I gave Al the Warden Leader one from the keep. I also found an armor called Effort (honestly I forget where...I think somewhere during the Dwarf town quests) and I remember finding the boots for it, but now I can't remember where that was. Oh well. O HAY I got the social thing to work now. http://social.bioware.com/playerprofile.php?nid=2271217500&game=dragonage (http://social.bioware.com/playerprofile.php?nid=2271217500&game=dragonage) Title: Re: Game on!

Title: Re: Game on! (What are you playing now) Post by: paul1290 on November 17, 2009, 11:16:49 AM I'm really liking Shale's sense of humor.
She's sort of like a light version of HK-47 from KOTOR. I kinda wish she had more dialogue though. By the way, happy birthday Graham. Title: Re: Game on! (What are you playing now) Post by: Mike on November 17, 2009, 12:32:20 PM For a while I used Shale as my main tank. All the talk of head-crushing made me warm and fuzzy inside.

Wow. This is just a awful game. Fun Fact: I know alot of Bethsoft fans like to believe that they had nothing to do with this game, but in reality Bethsoft had so much say in the game, they canned the original build and brought in rebellion to make the current, and super lulzy build. Title: Re: Game on! (What are you playing now) Post by: Sharpshooter005 on December 19, 2009, 05:45:30 PM Cross-post
Also long as hell. Quote from: Sharpshooter005 So having gotten slightly more of a feel for TF2, it's better than I'd anticipated. When I heard about unlockable items and the 'achievement' system I was all "Thats bullshit". Well now I'm thinking..It is and it isn't. The newly released one for the demomen seems stupidly powerful. That was the impetus for the free-weekend I gather, so its impossible not to see it. Maybe thats just because its new, hence everybody wants it, hence it's everywhere. The ones for the sniper (the only ones I've gotten since I just went back to my old tfc habits, which was sniper or medic or engineer..and for some reason the engineer doesn't have any of these things? Maybe valves holding that for later) seem a lot better. If you can figure out how to use them, they can be a game-changer, however if you end up staring down an enemy sniper who has one theres no guarantee he's un-fuck-with-able merely because he has them. The medics just seem to give them sliiiightly more of an edge in a firefight, except I think theirs has a downside in terms of health levels or something. Overall that level of balance seems fairly universal. Even the demoman upgrades, apparently, have significant drawbacks (not with me though, I see somebody wielding that shit I just run since I unerringly end up hamburger to them) As far as how they're portioned out. That one I really don't get. The sniper unlocks required me to go through the whole achievement system, whereas I got one of the demoman ones for...hell I don't even think I DID anything. The chatter I'm hearing though suggests their systems sort of out of whack currently though, so I'm not gonna look too much into that. I can't really blame them for this, the whole 'achievement points' thing is either the wave of the future, or just so prevalent at the moment that it's not surprising they'd follow that route. On the plus side, a number of them seem fairly incidental, as in you'll get one without even realizing it. Truth be told, the things so cheap right now (its what, ten dollars until monday...and even when it resets to its old price it's not as bad as what most games seem to cost now) that I'm giving it some pretty serious thought...particularly since I've just now become aware of a program which can crank the graphics down to even lower than what you could get through the options menu and give a pretty hefty performance boost. The source engine, apparently, and I'm not close to understanding game engines is one of the more scalable ones. Besides the design aesthetic is sort of a bizarro cartoon-land type thing so it doesn't seem out of place when its set to lower detail levels. That last bit about the design aesthetic. I remember the early screens of it being a typical (this was years ago) military shooter type one. I'm glad they went this route, it's..I can comfortably say its different to most anything I can think I've ever played. It doesn't take itself remotely seriousky. Fundamentally I'm never gonna like this idea of "Grind enough dudes in multiplayer, get shit" in a FPS. But if it HAD to happen...then I suppose this is the best way. Now, however, apparently theres a system where you can craft hats out of items you find though. That just sounds goddamn inane and and I don't think I even want to give it any heed much less ever use it. Thankfully...from what I can tell those have absolutely no impact on anything aside from being cosmetic (shit I actually found it easier to pick out targets who had their little super hardcore gamer top-hats on.) I mean I like the idea of somebody with a high powered rifle wearing a faded top hat, I mean obviously, but...for gods sakes its a FPS keep this 'crafting' shit in world of warcraft or whatever. You wanna craft something in team fortress? Choose the engineer class, build a damn sentry gun, there that should get the "build things in a game" desire out of your system. EDIT: Quote: So to answer the question, zombie panic. Somebodys gonna someday have to explain to me how and why left 4 dead is somehow better than this, which is entirely free and seems more scalable graphically. They apparently even overhauled it to a fair degree because I had to update and it seems...I dunno, more "polished" I guess? Title: Re: Game on! (What are you playing now) Post by: R.

Sometimes it doesn't make sense to even bother. Yeah, the TV spot is pretty hilarious. The game is just flat out bad. The dialog is childish with more F bombs than I could count. It's short, like 2 hours short. The multiplayer is crap, just deathmatch and team deathmatch. I'm loving the fact that the Bethesda fan boys are in total defense mode (T.D.M) trying to convince people that they had nothing to do with it. They did however, so much so they canned the original 3rd person shooter with 4 player co-op and 32 player online with random maps, cause it didn't meet their standards. Mean it didn't have first person view point, not enough "cool shit", and Mikey Rourke. Bionic Commando (PS3) Actually not a bad game, just very very...empty. Title: Re: Game on!

It's not a bad game really. It does lack the awesomeness that the NES one had. It's empty in the fact that you rarely run into enemies.

Finally got it, and thinking I want to look for dupe glitches like in Oblivion...I'm loving playing it, and I have my friend Dogmeat who...though he's been on fire twice...still has fur...got him right off the bat by fluke. I was going to play Apex (xbox) on my 360, but I don't have a modem hooked up to it to get the update to play it, and my xbox is with my ex right now so she can play Fable: Lost Chapters. For anyone who doesn't know, Apex is a racing game with a plot...more or less. You make a car company and race against real cars to get your company noticed. The better you do, the more you get noticed and the more money you get to make more cars for your company. I thought it was a really cool concept for a racing game. Title: Re: Game on!

Not fantastic but it's not nearly as bad as everyone seems to say it is. I still have yet to work out what is so repulsively wrong about this game or what it must have done for some people to hate it so badly. Maybe Crysis disks pop out of their cases at night, sprout limbs, and harm innocent children when we aren't looking. Title: Re: Game on! (What are you playing now) Post by: R.

Title: Re: Game on! (What are you playing now) Post by: Char Aznable on January 03, 2010, 04:30:28 AM Okay, so I was doing a Vault run, learning some freaky crap about the Vaults (1. White noise control, but that wasn't too bad. 2. my screen turning blue and the vault's condition...as well as its inhabitants...changing. At first I thought that it was a glitch of some sort in that area...until the door locked and there were a bunch of terminals sending me messages, which vanished after the screen went normal again...and there was a room full of Dad...or...fighting people from vault 101... 3. "Gary?") and was wondering what it takes to get into vault 87, which the door has so much radiation near it that it kills you in about two seconds.
Aaand...I'm sad...Dogmeat died. Got blown up in a rogue Mini-Nuke explosion aimed at a really big Super Mutant that he was fighting. Now I have no traveling doggie...T_T Title: Re: Game on! (What are you playing now) Post by: Mike on January 03, 2010, 02:46:45 PM That's why I usually just had Dogmeat hang around my house. I always felt like he would run up to a Super Mutant, or a sentry robot and swiftly eat it.
Also, Crysis was AWESOME. You have to look at it as less of a super-realistic FPS, and more like a game where you're pretty much the Predator, except instead of juicehead Americans, you're terrorizing North Koreans with funny accents. And later on there's aliens. Title: Re: Game on! (What are you playing now) Post by: Brooklyn Luckfield on January 04, 2010, 12:45:56 AM Char, Dogmeat levels up with you with Broken Steel. Also, don't worry, once you can choose Puppies! perk and you get a replacement dog meat every few days.
Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection (PS3) 40 games of awesomeness. All the Phantasy Stars is also a huge plus. Title: Re: Game on! (What are you playing now) Post by: Char Aznable on January 04, 2010, 02:02:46 AM What Level? I want a new dog! Dogmeat was so nice to have around!

So I went into a garage and found vault 112. I stumbled upon it while exploring only to find out that it was the next part of the main quest. So how many vaults are hiding? Had a contract out on me that Talon took, so what did I do? Storm their base. Title: Re: Game on!

Despite being a spin off, I think it added alot of neat stuff in FO:T. Char: Vault 112, and the one behind little lamp light are the only story related ones. You can to the others, but you won't mind much useful. Sharp: Bethsoft and Obsidian are co-producing Fallout: New Vegas. Obsidian is the developer, and it seems to be based around some of the stuff in Van Buren. Also, look for info next month is OXM. Title: Re: Game on!

As for the whole Werner-hates-you thing, maybe it's bugged? I'd say go back to an old save before he started shooting at you. Is this right at the beginning, or did you basically finish everything there? Also I liked how the dude with power armor painted it yellow and black, like the Steelers. Title: Re: Game on!

Bullshit, it didn't) It was fun but in the end, I was very close to buying it at the discount...I didn't. It's a neat game though, someday maybe. I managed to get a bunch of the sniper unlocks that weekend. The bow and whatnot. I'm glad they made the pyro...the pyro can at least DO SOMETHING in tf2, in tfc if you played the pyro it seemed like the least useful class. Sniper is as awesome as it was in tfc, possibly even more from my experience.

I catch hell because I fly in an F-14D against much better jets, but I don't care. It's a badass F-14 with an anime chick on it from Idolmaster and it's purple with purple missiles. Of course, the ones that give me the most hell don't fly in squads. I use a long range sniper/support style that the F-14 in it works well with. Title: Re: Game on!

Had to adjust to it, since I've been playing Oblivion and Fallout so much. I've often pondered, what would happen if Fable and Oblivion meshed into one game...Each one has some really nice features that the other lacks, so would a mixing result in the perfect "live some sort of life" game? Speaking of, When I finished the main Oblivion quest, exactly one year had passed in the game. Found it amusing. Title: Re: Game on!

Oblivion is an MMO right? Oblivion is a single player RPG. also what systems is the original fallout on? I want to play it, but need to know what systems the game is on. The first 2 Fallout games were only on PCs. Back in the dark, dark, 1990s. Title: Re: Game on!

The PC version is the best, it has access to mod that greatly improve the game. Also be warn about playing the game in third person, Bethsofts animations are lulzy, and still are. The original Fallouts where on PC, back in the day. Good ole Games has them for I think 10 bucks each. Title: Re: Game on!

Same with hers (and my) male friends.
And you're going "Why is Snake looking at all of these people?" because I like looking at 1. the creative screennames 2. the statistics of things like male/female ratios 3. When I'm trying to find certain people on Ace Combat 6, I know whose friendlists to look through. Some people have too many friends so I can't just add them myself. When that happens, we (AC6 players) either jump on the XBLsquadrons site and see if they're on there, or I go through a list of friends to find who I'm looking for. AC6.

NCIW was my favorite gun. "Plunk!" Indeed, a fitting successor to the Precision Rifle from RF1. Also, the Assault Rifle was hilarious. Probably the worst gun in the game. Please disagree. I'd hate to think they purposefully included something so worthless. Title: Re: Game on! (What are you playing now) Post by: Char Aznable on April 11, 2010, 09:11:49 PM NICW: Awesome
Storyline: Bullshit Rail Gun: Epic Win. I like how they changed the scoping on it. RFG: Fan-freakin-tastic Assault Rifle: There was an actual Assault Rifle? I don't remember. I remember the silenced machine gun, the HMG, the Nano Machine Gun (also epic win), pistols (which I also had a fun time using), NICW, Rail Gun, Anti Personnel, Nano-G, WASP, Rocket Launcher...proximity mines... GeoMod? I'll kill you if you think RF2 had GeoMod. I couldn't do proper tunneling to save my life. Like I said, I played RF2 mostly for Multiplayer. Oh! and RFG has Capek's lab in it! It's the only Ultor structure in there I know for sure so far...I haven't been able to identify the rest. EDIT several hours later. Need to sleep, but...game...so...addicting...blowing stuff up... WTF?! Okay, so in RFG, you randomly find these special skeletons. Until now, I've just been finding RF1 people. Miners, Guards, Ultor staff of some sort or another. I just found one...it's ALIAS! WTF?! He has nothing to do with Ultor or much of anything, but apparently he died on Mars. What the hell is Alias doing on Mars? For that matter, what the hell is he doing on Mars in RFG, besides being a skeleton...and...what was the year on RF2 in the timeline? Title: Re: Game on!

Most recently, I've been playing the Mario & Sonic Olympic Series.
Summer Olympics (bought after free rental of it) is pretty cool. In the target range, you can yell "Pull" to start launching the clay pigeons and you fire wherever the stylus touches. Most games are challenging, but not frustrating. Winter Games (just rented for free) a week or two ago is more polished, with more characters to choose from, but many of the games are more difficult. Although Mario/Princess owned at Hockey. Hmmm...Imagine, someone named Mario good at hockey... (http://"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mario_Lemieux") Also, I had a cool TRU coupon, and Guitar Hero Decades DS was on sale, so I bit. I've been hearing bad and good about the controls. I figure I'll give it a shot... Title: Re: Game on! (What are you playing now) Post by: Char Aznable on June 11, 2010, 12:24:00 AM Final Fantasy VII and IX. Yay.

Started to play Chocobo's Dungeon on the Wii. It's a good, if not odd, Final Fantasy game. Even though the games are in the same universe there seems to be no connection between Tales (for the DS) and Dungeon. Even though almost every character is the same as the one's in Tales. The only character that changes is Cid, who was a black mage in Tales and is a treasure hunter now. Title: Re: Game on! (What are you playing now) Post by: Char Aznable on June 20, 2010, 05:19:00 PM It's Cid. He's everything. From an airship captain to leader of a mercenary school to Ruler of Lindblum...Just like Biggs and Wedge are almost always named sidekick characters.
Final Fantasy 101: There will always be Cid, Biggs, and Wedge. Cid is everything. Biggs and Wedge always work together. Title: Re: Game on! (What are you playing now) Post by: Yuko-san on June 26, 2010, 06:14:48 PM ^ Yeah. Cid is in everything. Even FF 14, which comes out this winter I think.
Anyway I spent 4 hours yesterday beating Castlevania Circle of the moon. After beating it I immediately went back to playing FF2 for the GBA. Yay, more level grinding and pushing my way through some mistranslated story lines. Yeah. I have too many games to beat. Title: Re: Game on!

So now I finally can use that console for the first time in years.
I played a couple of the bonus missions in MGS2: Substance, then loaded up Dino Crisis (I did dino crisis on easy mode cause damn..its been a while since I could only use the d-pad in a game) edit: And when I conquer my fear of buying used games off the internet, probably SH:Origins and Shattered Memories Title: Re: Game on!

The entire x-com series on steam, and GTA: San andreas because it was like 8 bucks for all of them during the steam sale a couple of weeks back. GTA: SA was awesome...up until the flying school mission. That is like impossible with a keyboard. Rest of the game is great, so its too bad. So then I went back to x-com. The first one and Terror from the Deep are both fun, but even on beginner level, damn is there a learning curve. Title: Re: Game on!

Gauss rifle WAS on topic. It's an epic weapon that I use constantly on Fallout 3. But if you insist... LIMBO. This was a great game released on Live Arcade. It's full of puzzles, and can prove a challenge, even with 6 people trying to solve the puzzles after Repo practice! If you have a 360 and are connected to the interwebs on it, even enough to just download add-ons, get it. But be warned, sometimes the level rotates, and excessive amounts of this can make your computer screen rotate when you type on a message board... Title: Re: Game on! (What are you playing now) Post by: Sharpshooter005 on July 25, 2010, 02:07:14 AM I've played (finished in like, one day) X:Com Enforcer...yes, the one that is apparently terrible.
It wasn't bad, as a third-person shooter..I dunno I had fun and thats the point Anyway what I'm currently playing is Xcom, the actual first one. My highest ranking squad member, tank, and scout all got killed or zombified in a terror mission. I barely managed to save my sniper and retreat..and this is on beginner. It was a zany event hoping my sniper could run back to the ship and classify as in it when I aborted the mission, and he was surrounded by aliens in the burning landscape I created with incendiary rounds (I dabbled with terror from the deep, its frustrating constantly forgetting what weapons dont work on land, as all the terror missions occur on land.) edit: Also if fallout 3 is anything like 1 and 2..specifically 2. Max perception, pick traits/skills related to small guns and sniping, then get a rifle and just blind and cripple everybody. Only way to play Oh wait FO3 doesn't let you designate "shoot at the eyes" does it. Cause that was hilarious, you'd fire one shot and the enemy would miss constantly or just die right there Title: Re: Game on!

Every character I've played has more or less the same i.e Jack of All trades. Most of the SPECIAL stats are worthless. I'd just wait until New Vegas gets released, as it's been massively tweaked and improved upon. I pretty much blame this on bethsoft total lack of understanding what makes stats and character builds relevant. Title: Re: Game on!

I'm actually playing "Alpha Protocol" (ps3) by Sega/Obsidian. Even if the story is not very original, the different choices you can take during the dialogues help changing something (most of all the alleys who will help you during the missions and the bonuses you get being helped by a supporter who likes you more or less); so playing it a second or third time is not boring. P.s.: sorry for my scholar (and often incorrect ;D ) English. :-[ Title: Re: Game on! (What are you playing now) Post by: Brooklyn Luckfield on September 13, 2010, 06:26:51 PM Leonard is officially awesome, Alpha Protocol is easily one of the most underrated games this gen.
Nier: Gestalt (PS3) Like AP, this game is highly underrated. Visuals it's pretty decent, but story wise, and music wise, the game is a masterpiece. It's a shame the game sold rather poorly, but it's nice to see that the PS3 version is the highest seller. Hint hint SE, it's time for more PS3 exclusives. Title: Re: Game on!

OMG a garbage bag Pokemon and a trash pile Pokemon. All the legends are based off Japanese gods, which in itself is not bad. But I saw a kid type that one of them looks like Thor. That in itself is insulting, as I have a little viking in me and I'm not happy some kids are confusing one religion with another. Also on of the Pokemon and it's evo's look like it's a steroid using body builder with veracious veins. It is disgusting. And just so very wrong.

It's funny, I have many games that I haven't had time to play, but you bring them to our friends' house, with 5 kids there, and they play several of them in no time. However, they needed some help, so I helped them with Star Wars: Force Unleashed. Lightsaber dueling and force-throwing huge control consoles = FUN. Unfortunately, unlike with a Wii, only one person can play a DS at a time. So when everybody got their turn playing something, it was about dinner time. Later, we found a home version of "The Price I$ Right" on my laptop. (??? I thought it only had arcade games). We managed to get to the finals and win the showcase. $38K... If only it were real... We got home, and then left to visit my side of the family, and I brought the DS along to show my sister the bizarre button bar for Guitar Hero: Decades DS. (Her and her husband are big Guitar Hero/Rock Band fans.) For my hands, it works better to put just my left thumb through the hand strap, rather than the whole hand. The guitar pick stylus worked great. After a few tries at bass guitar on Paramore's CrushCrushCrush, I managed to get 37% before I crashed and burned. Not too bad... Update: I also meant to bring an Atari 2600 emulator w/games on the laptop to the friends' house, but I didn't realize the games were in a separate install and ended up bringing an empty emu. :-\ However, I loaded the games last night, and ended up playing a few (Robot Tank, Galaxian, MegaMania, Pole Position, Gyrus, Wizards of Wor, Adventure, BurgerTime, Star Voyager, GI Joe:Cobra Strike, Empire Strikes Back - what a nice trip back in time). So it should be ready to travel next time... Title: Re: Game on! (What are you playing now) Post by: Yuko-san on November 09, 2010, 12:45:47 PM Fun.

Still it comes out two weeks before, I can probably find it used in two weeks. Also playing Megaman star force sauron, for $10 it's well worth the money. Title: Re: Game on!

I hate how most of the soldiers behave like shuffling zombies. The team that makes those games must be incredibly small or unmotivated. Such complacency just doesn't compute. From what I saw, the Gundam version was one of the worst offenders. Stupid Zakus, YOU HAVE GUNS! I'm not a hater by heart. The concept of the franchise is super-cool. But I know you can't deny those issues. Title: Re: Game on! (What are you playing now) Post by: Brooklyn Luckfield on November 19, 2010, 07:34:32 AM Dynasty Warriors OH. Yeah.

Omega Force, the developer of the Warriors franchise is a small development team and part of the Koei Tecmo team. Omega Forces reason for often repetitive game play and lack of innovation is, "if ain't broke, don't fix it". Despite the Warriors series having little in the way of innovation and changes in gameplay, they sell truck loads in Japan and many of the titles sell over 500k in Japan alone, so they make a decent amount of cash. Dynasty Warriors 7 seems to change things up a bit and adds some new elements. Title: Re: Game on!

Like I mentioned in the "Last thing you bought" thread, nothing like its predecessors. Now, it's a TPS and includes some out of the mech action. But this creates a conflict with me. It doesn't display hit points and whatnot like in the past, so customizing is now tricky for me. But it's still Square producing it, and the game is still awesome. Title: Re: Game on! (What are you playing now) Post by: R. Daniel 01 on November 21, 2010, 03:20:32 PM I see your point, Graham. Meddling with a deluge-flow of cash could have undesirable consequences.

It was awesome for about 10 minutes until you realize it was a horrible, buggy mess. Well this game is kind of like that but actually...good.

Failed, and then got 83% on Foo Fighter's "Pretender" Failed, and then got 76% on Paramore's "CrushCrushCrush" Then my 18-month old niece stopped over while I was playing, and wanted to play one of the games, so I was put in Lego Batman, and she ran the direction buttons. Funny... She actually knows how to open and close the DS, but then I was worried she would break the hinge, or crack one of the screens (even though she wasn't handling it roughly), so I "made it disappear" when she was distracted. Later, I teamed up with one of my brother-in-laws for some Wii version House of the Dead 2 & 3. Then both my nieces stopped over (including the 18-month old), and the 18-month old one wanted to play the videogame, so we handed her an uncharged Wii controller, and she happily "played along". No, the zombies didn't scare her one bit, but then she's pretty fearless for a toddler... Early Black Friday, before heading out into the fray, my brother-in-law that own the Wii showed me the Tranformers War for Cybertron on his XBox. (Yeah, he's got all the toys...) Awesome, even at $40 bucks. I think I'll just have to pick it up. I also got into a few more Atari 2600 titles last night. Funny how FPS can quicken your reflexes for the old games... Also, even then, Activision was king! Title: Re: Game on! (What are you playing now) Post by: Sharpshooter005 on December 23, 2010, 05:56:02 PM Alternating between x-com and counterstrike: source
Which is a fun dichotomy. (I just gave up on trying to get the freeware, quake 2 based ufo: alien invasion to want to work on this laptop. And I haven't tried any games on my newer, windows 7, spiffier laptop I got for classes and whatnot, just sitting in a backpack over the break.

Playing on Valor aka the super n00b team and boy does it show. Nearly every match I play on Valor we either own or get owned, there really is no middle ground with Valor. Not to mention maybe 2-3 people use a Mic at a given time, which makes team work and tactics somewhat hard. Now compared to Raven and most definitely S.V.E.R, all of which show signs of great coordination and tactic, Valor certainly lives up to the reputation of the "N00b Faction". Title: Re: Game on!

For what I've actually been playing, Tetris DS and Advance Wars: Days of Ruin. Title: Re: Game on! (What are you playing now) Post by: Randolf on January 03, 2011, 06:28:51 PM Duke Nukem 3D. Bought it from the 3D Realms site for six bucks.
Took a bit of fiddling to get DOSBox to run just like I wanted (managed to finally get it to run at the native resolution of 320x200 without any nasty scaling), but it's totally worth it. This being the Atomic Edition, they have that extra campaign "The Birth", which having played through it is a total sham. The image of the pregnant babe being tormented by aliens at the opening is never elaborated on, and the final boss is bland. Although I thought the ending to Shrapnel City was pretty lousy, too, but at least the boss was cool. Not to mention hard as fuck (or would have been if I hadn't been cheating so hard).

My niece lost most her Leapster games, so my sister & brother-in-law got her a DS for Christmas, and we each got her games. However, she got frustrated while playing. So, I got an idea. I walked over to the kitchen with my DS & Namco Museum, and found her and my other brother-in-law (her favorite uncle, since he brings her Marvel & DC stuff) both playing games on their DSs. She's getting frustrated again, and he's trying to talk to her about patience, perseverance, and good sportsmanship - as much as you can talk about them to a kid. That's when I sit down and say "Tonight, I'm going to lose every game", and then proceed to die at Galaxian, Zaxxon, Galaga, and Dig Dug II. I announce each time I've lost, and then say, hey look I'm still breathing, I still have a pulse, and I still have all my fingers & toes. They're just games, that's all... If nothing else, at least I got her to smile... For the record, though, later on, I did play B-17 DS to win, and did well on Mission 1. I'm still trying to beat Mission 2, but that was during NHL Winter Classic intermissions... Title: Re: Game on!

I'm a little more than obsessive about them. Right now I'm working on Blazblue: CS... but when Marvel vs Capcom 3 comes out I'll be on that... and then when Super Street Fighter 4 releases its update patch, I'll be back to that... not to mention the Xbox release of Street Fighter 3, SF vs Tekken, and who knows what else. I also have a longing to brush up on my Soul Calibur 4 and DoA skills too, if there was time for it. I'm so glad the genre as been revived in the past couple of years. Between 1998 and 2008 things were pretty bleak. Title: Re: Game on! (What are you playing now) Post by: Yuko-san on January 06, 2011, 07:24:41 PM I used to play Soul Caliber. But it just got fucked up in the 3rd title. Seriously, siege strategy? Why am I not just smashing some dude in the face with a sword already?
Also I had a huge win moment today. I CAUGHT A SHINY RATATTA! And it's 100% legit. I found it while looking for a ditto to breed my Feraligator, but found a female shiny ratatta instead.

I found it while looking for a ditto to breed my Feraligator, but found a female shiny ratatta instead. Best gaming day ever. That was a special mode in Soul calibur 3. You didn't have to play it. Everyone I meet is like "it stopped being good at SC2," but I think they're just being nostalgic and never really tried the other games. SC3 and 4 were pretty awesome, especially 4. And I have a few shiny pokemon. I have a Golbat, Beedrill (Got from a trade), Zigzagoon (got from a Gamestop promotion), Rhydon, used to have a shiny Banette (I rose him to level 100 and then lost the cartridge...), and a Gallade (Rose to level 100, even though he's got crappy speed). I also have shiny versions of the Diamond and Pearl legendaries (Forget their names). They're obviously hacked. When I was playing Pearl version a lot I would just put up ridiculous trades like "I want a legendary for a Gloom." Whenever I turned on my game, I would have a new legendary. I have around 30 of them and most look hacked or cloned. A lot of them are shiny. Title: Re: Game on! (What are you playing now) Post by: Yuko-san on January 10, 2011, 11:57:24 AM Yeah. A lot of legends are hacks. I don't hack mine however. If their shiny when I meet 'me then their shiny. I don't really care though. Shiny pokemon can never have max stats, contrary to popular belief, so it's just easier to catch 'em normal and us lots of stat raisers.
And I tried playing 3 and 4. I owned both of them at one point. I played it for a bit and would get bored. It just didn't represent the challenge it used to. 3 was way too easy. I beasted through the game as Ivy in under 4 hours, on hard mode. I didn't even upgrade my equipment or anything. I made my own character and beasted through it on normal with her. 4 just bored me however. I tired to play it, but I was like "I've been playing this same game with different characters since I had my gamecube. Why do I play this again?" But nto the subject of what I am playing. Soul Silver. I found someone willing to trade a bulbasaur for a totodile. One step closer to completing the pokedex. Title: Re: Game on!

Daniel 01 on January 14, 2011, 11:41:19 AM You missed the point. I'm not saying Street Fighter and Pokémon are directly similar. I'm saying that both franchises don't change much between one game and the next. So your criticism of Street Fighter was hypocritical. Don't take it seriously, though! I was just poking fun.
But yeah as my fighting games thread should imply, I don't really get fighting games. One review/design website says they're all about momentum, area denial, and psychological warfare.

One review/design website says they're all about momentum, area denial, and psychological warfare. Well all that depends on the game/character. Think of fighting games as a chess match with some rock paper scissors thrown in. They just look like button mashing until you understand what the players are doing and why. They're filled with situations like "he knows that I know I'm going to go for the uppercut... but does he know I know he knows?" or "I need to time this kick just right so that it looks like I made a mistake... but then I'll recover before he can hit me and he'll throw out a bad move." There's more tricks and fake outs than in other games, since pretty much every second is about trying to predict the opponent's next move and come up with your own counter. Title: Re: Game on!

I figure, when I've run out of quests, I don't need most of the people alive. The ones I can't kill, will just fall unconscious or be replaced by other people (like Guards...will be replaced by guards...) but I figure I can kill about 90% of the population, leaving...people that are relevant to some quest or another...that I've already done but they're programmed to not die, ever.

That's what sucks about Oblivion... it is so close to a completely persistent world, but then you reach that door or cave entrance, and the Universe pauses, and you're transferred to some other zone. If you commit a genocide on the town, then the game's response should not be to respawn guards. It should be for Oblivion and its servants to embrace you, and for a royal army to embark on your position. Title: Re: Game on!

Doom could've helped itself by running without lag of course. But it was overy slow for a GBA game.
I've always preferred a story line to just flat out shooting things in the face. Thus why I like Kingdom Hearts. BBS is no where near as sap riddled as the first two. And no stupid lines like "Who will I share ice cream with if your gone?". Seriously, when your best friend is dying come up with a better excuse for them to live then that. Isa is cool though. For a guy that becomes a raging psycho in the future he seems like a nice kid. How do people becoming psychos again? Not enough love or something like that? Also bigger worlds to explore/ better story helps this game. the level up system for skills isn't bad either. I want to see it in future KH or FF games. Title: Re: Game on!

Title: Re: Game on! (What are you playing now) Post by: Char Aznable on February 03, 2011, 05:54:43 PM Oh yeah, I need to preorder that...already preordered Ace Combat 7.
Playing Halo Reach, just bought it. Enjoying it. Dan, a comment on our conversation the other night on teh FB: There weren't brass knuckles, but there were fists. And magazines called "Guns and Nachos" modeled after the actual magazine "Guns and Ammo". Now. To open up on this Doom conversation. There is a storyline to Doom. And it pretty much hasn't changed between the games, down to Cyberdemon always being the final boss (to my memory). You are Doom Guy. A soldier on Mars who escaped the fate of [in the old Doom games (Because in Doom 3 it wasn't everyone ] everyone else when an accident goes horribly wrong and a portal to hell is opened. You have to go through and kill the demons and close the gate before they leave Mars and go to earth. Each level has keys that can only be found in a particular order, so each level is a big puzzle while you run around killing various demons and zombies. Eventually you end up taking the fight into hell, still solving giant puzzle levels, killing shit, and eventually fighting Cyberdemon. When you kill Cyberdemon, you pretty much leave Hell and the gate closes. Yes, there are storyline holes, but that's still the storyline. Go play Doom 3. It's more developed. Oh, and beware the first zombie scientist. He used to catch me off guard. And for Dan, there are Doom 3 mods that give the classic look to all of the enemies. Same site where you sited the updated Arachnotron picture. Title: Re: Game on! (What are you playing now) Post by: Brooklyn Luckfield on February 04, 2011, 02:16:11 AM Just finished up Venetica, and it was a really fun game. I still need to get a few more trophies for the Plat, but I'll hold off on that for now. Need to finish up Mass Effect 2 as well. And then there's Mind Jack sitting on my desk...I need to try and play it some more or take it back to blockbuster.

(What are you playing now) Post by: Char Aznable on February 09, 2011, 04:51:19 PM Forza 2. I've been playing the auction house like crazy, making at least 12 mil a day. And friends with German chicks that want some of the car designs I have in exchange for car designs she has. Buy car, insert design, sell for a bunch of money, repeat. Buy cars with custom designs of some chick or another on it (usually. They sell really well) Save the design if the fool didn't lock it, and put copies on the Auction Block. Repeat. Make an assload of credits.
If only you could rank up off of the Auction House. Title: Re: Game on! (What are you playing now) Post by: R.

When I start learning 3d modeling, my first project will be to render the complete doom/doom 2 menagerie. To my knowledge, this has not yet been accomplished. Partial menageries, yes, but none fully. Title: Re: Game on! (What are you playing now) Post by: Yuko-san on February 09, 2011, 06:58:05 PM Well now that I know the storyline and played an older version of it I kinda like it. The GBA version just sucks.
Also on top I'm playing Etrain oddessy. And i still can't spell that word. Title: Re: Game on! (What are you playing now) Post by: Mike on April 03, 2011, 11:36:11 AM Crysis 2. And it's actually kind of disappointing.
The 1st game is still about the prettiest game ever made. You start out fighting a North Korean general on a Pacific island, who accidentally wakes up ancient aliens, and then everything gets crazy. The big thing that made Crysis unique was that you wore a nanotechnology super suit that gave you super speed, strength, armor, and could turn invisible. Then, the developers, Crytek, said they wanted to make a console game instead of a PC exclusive. So now it's kind of like Call of Crysis. It's not awful, but I like certain things about the first game better. In this one, you're in New York, which is being torn apart by the aliens and a virus that came from...somewhere. You play Alcatraz, a Marine sent in to help fight the aliens who proceeds to get his ass kicked and ends up with a Nanosuit somehow. The suit powers are different now, instead of having separate strength/speed/armor modes, there's a "power" mode that is on all the time and lets you super jump or use strength whenever you need it. The sprint sucks now, though. You don't go crazyfast, you actually go the same speed as sprinting in Armor mode, except it drains your suit's power. The armor mode is different now, too. Instead of being the "default" mode that only uses energy when you take damage, you now have to activate it and it continuously drains power. The health system is different too, instead of having a bar that regenerates like the first game, it uses the Modern Warfare "the more damage you take, the more strawberry jam is thrown on the screen". It's really abrupt, too. You take a few hits, everything is fine, you take a few more, and everything is red, you can't see, and it says HEALTH CRITICAL at the bottom. And then you die because you forgot that armor has to be turned on, now. There's a lot of levels, but they all seem really short. Instead of being set on a lush, jungle island, it is now in New York in ruins. A big appeal of the first game was that you could explore and find a ton of different ways through a situation. Now, there's a scan mode that is basically hand holding, and it becomes very repetitive: Exit a tunnel, spy a few guys from the bottom, and icons show up that say "snipe from this place, sneak through that place, pick up ammo here". That gets repeated 3 or 4 times, and then you go on to the next level. The levels themselves aren't anywhere near as expansive as the first game. Sure, it's a huge city, but most of it is walled off except for the one path you can take. And I also lived in Manhattan for 4 years, so I'm kind of a snob when it comes to NY being portrayed in video games, but I feel like they half-assed it. There's the same few buildings repeated over and over, every street corner has the same 3 stores, and I swear that I fought through almost the exact same plaza in 2 completely different levels. It seems like the developers have never actually been to NY, and just worked from a bunch of postcards of the place. The levels also seem totally disjointed. For example, you finish one level in the street, and then when you start the next one, you're halfway up a smashed building. All I could think was "there must have been an awesome firefight to get there, that they skipped." But nope, you just start there. They also added a lot of Call of Duty-style set pieces, but CoD does it better. Some of them take a long time to play out, for instance one part where your suit malfunctions and the aliens kick the crap out of a bunch of soldiers. It's a solid couple of minutes where you do nothing but lay on the ground, watching stuff happen. There's also a lot of really annoying things about the combat, that make the game seem unfinished. First off, everything you do seems very slow. Changing weapons takes forever: Hit the button, wait a couple of seconds, THEN you change guns. Same with reloading, you don't actually reload sometimes for about a second after you hit the key. You can still grab and choke enemies, but it usually gets you killed because of how long it takes: hit the key, wait a couple seconds, then grab the guy, then there's an animation for a few seconds where you choke him, then you hit the trigger to throw the guy, but nothing happens for a few seconds. And all the while, you're being turned into Swiss cheese by everyone else in the map. Finally, the whole internet has been bitching about the graphics. They certainly are very pretty, yes, but it doesn't look quite as unbelievable as the first game. It runs on directx9, while the first game, in 2007, ran on directx 10. Crytek says they will have support for dx11 (the newest one) in a patch, but really? You purposely put out an unfinished product? In the first game, there were plenty of places for you to stop and take in the scenery, but now, it feels like you're rushed through every level. Each level also is much, much shorter than before, and getting a loading screen every 15 or 20 minutes instead of every hour makes the whole game feel like a rush, too. Anyway, that was a shitload of words. Crysis 2 is a good game, not crappy, but not as groundbreaking as the original Crysis. I haven't tried the multiplayer yet, but my friend told me that it is currently ruined by hackers, so I'm going to give it a while yet. Title: Re: Game on! (What are you playing now) Post by: Yuko-san on April 03, 2011, 06:41:30 PM Wow. Guess I won't be playing crysis now.

The first one was pretty good from what I remember. DW7 (PS3) I'm a lot farther now, and I actually hate it a lot less. There's still some annoying things, like changing weapons taking WAY too long, and overall things don't seem as polished as they were int he first game. But the story does kiiiind of make sense now. It actually does connect to the first game, it just takes a while to figure it out. I'm still pretty sure they pulled the whole thing out of their asses, and are just pretending to have had it in mind all along. Like the guys who wrote Lost. Title: Re: Game on!

Still playing sims 3ds. I don't know how, but when she cooks cereal she sets herself on fire, twice. Nocturne, my sim, can set herself and the frig on fire just by getting cereal. She freaks out when 2 or more people are nearby, but she goes crazy and is happy when no one is around. yeah, almost as bad as when my sister played her sims 2 game. she had me as a character, and I went crazy and made friends with a pink bunny and the burglar. Just a little sad. Title: Re: Game on! (What are you playing now) Post by: The Final Negotiator on July 28, 2011, 12:16:31 PM Granted, it was a while ago, but I played a little Transformers 2007: Autobots DS. I found that, unlike with it's companion Decepticon game, my aim is better, as are my melee skills. Maybe it's all the positive encouragement from Ironhide, as opposed to the chastisement (and the kick to the shin - don't ask, it's in the game) from Barricade? Of course, I still like the Decepticons game because you can destroy stuff, and throw cars, Autobots, and other objects at Autobots.
Another challenge in Autobots is that, when the police show up, you must successfully escape them, instead of duking it out with them in Decepticons. It's still fun. We also went to Dave & Busters earlier this week. I played some ticket games, including ski ball (didn't win much), some hoops (did better), and some lightning trivia (forgot Justin Timberlake and Britney Spears dated, so 1 wrong, but still won 20 tickets!). I also played the big Hyperbowl game, gunned down zombies in House of the Dead Parts III & IV (did better with III than IV, but my solo game still isn't as good as 2-player). We had a Power Card coupon, so I walked out $10 lighter, but with a substantial number of tickets for my wife and I (she's ~1500+, I'm ~2500+), and smiles on both our faces. Fun night...

Dead Rising 2. Must. Kill. Everything! Also you can kill zombies with pink dildos, of all the things. I wish they had a combo weapon with that and the tricycle (best joke weapon ever), it'd be more fun to kill zombies with. BTW if you have dead rising 2, go to the second story of the royal flush plaza, go to the toy store, get on a trike, run over zombies, and ride trike down the stairs. Zombie bowling anyone?

Half way decent for a movie based game. High Moon Studios, the War for Cybertron guys worked on this. It would also seem that Steven Blum is now the official voice of Starscream, which I admit has grown one me. From Spike to big name titles.

In fact, I saw a used Robotech Nintendo game for sale a while ago (can't recall if it was Gameboy Advance or DS).

(I mistakenly thought they were going to play Mario Kart.) I, surprisingly, don't own any "Super Mario" game. So, while waiting for a turn, I played some more TF 2007: Autobots. There's a Decepticon at the end of the round that I just can't beat - I guess I need more practice...
Then, once I got my turn, my niece beat me in "vs. mode"... That's what I get for kicking her butt in Double Dragon vs. NES on Wii. Fun times... ;D Also, since it's technically a video game, I played the blackjack game at a casino on the Saturday of Labor Day weekend. After a half hour, my $10 bucks was widdled down to $2.75, but I was amazed that I held on for so long. We were there for a birthday, and I also saw a really cool band there that were big Tom Petty fans. Title: Re: Game on!

Old school styled dungeon crawler goodness. Title: Re: Game on! (What are you playing now) Post by: Brooklyn Luckfield on October 17, 2011, 06:23:35 AM Dark Souls (PS3)

I've had it for a while, but you have to grind for hours just to get to the second level of the dungeon in this game, but other then that I love it. So now that I'm level 20 most things just die really fast. Except for that darn Wryven. It has 9001 health, and yes you read that right.

It's soooo nice to see a rather paint by number JRPG, but damn it, it's great. Title: Re: Game on! (What are you playing now) Post by: Char Aznable on November 20, 2011, 12:22:59 AM Been swapping around between Ace Combat: Assault Horizon, Borderlands, and Dead Island...And Star Wars Racer
Title: Re: Game on! (What are you playing now) Post by: Brooklyn Luckfield on November 20, 2011, 05:16:57 PM Skyrim (PS3)
Probably Bethesda's best title. It certainly isn't flawless though. The story is generic, the writing is weak for the most part and the A.I is pretty brain dead. Hiding behind objects really messes Dragon's up. Also, Dragon's are pathetically easy. Title: Re: Game on! (What are you playing now) Post by: The Final Negotiator on December 25, 2011, 06:41:33 PM Played a little Transformers 3: Decepticons DS before Christmas, a little Ghostbusters DS today, and a lot of Sonic Colors today. I'm looking forward to playing more games when things aren't so busy.
Wow, no activity in this thread since Christmas?!? You guys must have had fun! I played a little Puzzlequest:Galactix before my flight back home (we spent Christmas at Mrs. Negotiators parent's this year). I didn't play anything the 3 days after Christmas, since I was helping her parents move. Bummer... I played a little more Ghostbusters on New Years Day, but I'm still trying to get that first mission done. Title: Re: Game on! (What are you playing now) Post by: Yuko-san on February 03, 2012, 10:33:09 PM I got skyrim,finally. But school this semester took my soul, so I have no time to play it. I also got the 3rd birthday and la noir for my bday. And cant play them either. Why most anthropology take all my time? Why?
Title: Re: Game on! (What are you playing now) Post by: Yuko-san on February 19, 2012, 02:55:34 AM I finally mastered the anthropology! And gained time to game, so decided to knock some games off my must play list. Started Persona 3 FES. It's great, except for Fuuka's voice. It's like whoever did her was half dead and showed little emotion. Aegis actually shows more, and she starts as an emotionless character.
Title: Re: Game on! (What are you playing now) Post by: Yuko-san on March 23, 2012, 09:44:32 PM I know you guys have jobs, but do you not game on the weekends?
Anyway, figured out Fuuka is actually the resident pot head in Persona 3. Thus why she sounds funny and consistently reminds you how many shadows are left. But I got stuck on Persona 3 and started Persona 4. I have concluded this about the MC, he is a jackass. Title: Re: Game on! (What are you playing now) Post by: Yuko-san on April 12, 2012, 12:13:16 AM Where are you people?
Anyway, halfway though persona 4 in under 30 hours. Not as long as Persona 3 by any means. Also why is homosexuality a punchline for everything in Japanese culture? I ask because of a character from persona 4. |
