Just got this today, very cool.

Finished a quest a few minutes ago. Won't play this as much as I would like to because of...

Finishing this game on Sunday.

So awesome...until of course I forget I have my calvary on ice and the ice thaws and the unit drowns lol..fuck :/

Getting 1000 on Silent Hill
-
Nothing today YET but I am going to be playing some XBox Live stuff, probably Halo 3, Soul Calibur 4, and maybe some VF5 and/or Battle Fantasia.
Plus I am back in the beat-em-up thing playing Basara 2 Heroes on Wii, Shin Sangoku Musou 5 Special on PS2, and even a bit of Ikkitousen Eloquent Fist on PSP, which is surprisingly decent given its source material and is all hand-drawn. It's a very old-school average beat-em-up, but seeing this kind of game is incredibly rare these days.
-
Any word on Warriors Orochi 2 PSP? I havent seen pre-order dates stateside
-
Well you know it's gotta be coming. Comes out here in November.
-
Haha, Ikkitousen PSP is kinda like a 2D Dynasty Warriors. You mow down waves of enemies using preset square and triangle combos, O is a "musou" that takes some life when you use it, X is jump, R is run, and L powers you up. After you power up you can then do a big super attack. You level up too, but I still think it's a little bland and too easy (so far) even on the hard setting. You can even keep combos going if you attack someone right after downing another...I got up to 138 hits a minute ago. It's like gold compared to the awful PS2 game that came out earlier.

I was expecting to be able to say The Darkness... but I got it on Wednesday morning and beat it that night >:(
Besides that, Rock Band 2, LBP Beta, Wipeout maybe.

Witcher
Crysis Warhead
X-COM UFO Defense
Tales of Vesperia....I'm going to finish this fucking game one of these days

lbp beta
duke nukem xbla
gonna try out some source mods
-
Still doing a few more sidequests and grade farming in Tales of Vesperia.
Me and my cousin beat Castle Crashers yesterday. I was using the Blue Knight, so I'll go on to the other characters.
I've been playing these two games exclusively for over a month now. :lol
-
I don't know why, but I decided to finish Metroid Prime 3. This game still looks pretty good and I didn't even need a trailer highlighting the various effects to fool me into thinking I might care about it.
-
RESPECT KING'S BOUNTY NUKKAZ
-
For some reason every time I play Halo 3 with originalz (and his shitty u/l connection) it freezes on me if I am in private chat with him, which I generally have to do or else I can't hear him talk. What's the deal?
-
let us play halo 3 lyte edge
thats what I plan on playing pretty much this weekend
hour of vesperia here and there too maybe
-
RESPECT KING'S BOUNTY NUKKAZ
I downloaded it, if that counts
-
I was actually thinking about playing some Halo 3 today because of that Halo Wars co-op. I still need to try 4 player co-op one time.
-
Probably just some WoW, a bit of Rock Band 2, and Kirby Super Star Ultra.
-
Finishing Vesperia, then playing nothing until December.

I'm going through my too-large backlog.
(http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/9/9a/Disaster_Report_Coverart.png)(http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/6/6d/Urb-cover.jpg/250px-Urb-cover.jpg)
finally beat Disaster Report a mere four years and change after rescuing it from a ten dollars or less bin at Gamestop. Its still fun, but man, oh man, is it ever super-fugly. Its got lots of good ideas, and sometimes good execution, but the technical shortcomings make it somewhat hard to enjoy it so much today. Raw Danger, the sequel, is much, MUCH better.
And damn, Urban Reign is diamond-hard, but I likes it. A couple years into this gen and we still don't have a decent beat-em-up. But hey, UR fills my need to punch the shit outta a bunch of generic dudes quite nicely.

Since I just got my Crysis PC on monday, I have been playing:
Crysis- just beat it on friday and it was excellent. It had alot of similarities with Half-Life and it exceeded all of my expectations.
Crysis Warhead- i've only played the first level so far. it's alot easier than the first game, and it doesn't run as well on my system, which is weird since my PC was optimized especially for it. But I bought this through Steam, and the original I have the DVD, so I don't know if that makes a difference.
The Witcher Enhanced Edition- I wanted to finish Sapkowski's "The Last Wish" before I started this. Pretty lame and generic first level, but once you get out into the open world it's pretty awesome. I've only played this for a couple of hours, but I can see myself really enjoying this game.
Company of Heroes- I bought this game awhile ago but my PC couldn't run it. Not much else to say. It's Relic. It's an RTS. Awesome.
Halo 3
-
PC GAMIN!
-
How are you guys doing in King's Bounty? I haven't turned it on in a few days, but I was kinda getting raped the last time I played it. Once you clear out the first little area, the enemies seem pretty tough compared to your guys. I guess you just have to try to avoid the tough fights and cruise around looking for wimps until you get more XP. I had like 180 plant monsters, 80 spiders, 28 soliders, 18 mages, and 18 archers, and I got my butt kicked by two golems. I'm only playing on Medium, I'm glad I didn't put it on Hard.
A lot of the spells seem kinda crappy too. One ally gets +10% to defense for 3 turns or something like that, it barely seems worth it. Or healing 15 points of health to one unit, big whoop, I need to bring my guys back to life. I wish had some offensive spells, but I haven't put any points into that side of the spell chart yet, so I don't have any chaos magic.

Good job. Specs?
I found the best settings for the Crysis games is textures, volumetric, physics, water, sound at maximum\enthusiast and then everything else at high\gamer.
Give it a try. If it's still slow, then try the above recommendation but with high and medium settings instead.
-
re king's bounty: i'm not having much of a problem with the forest and swamp. make sure you are level 4-5 before you leave the starting area, though, and really focus on increasing leadership. DO ALL OF THE QUESTS. be sure you've taken one level in scouting, and always right-click on enemy stacks before you approach them just to get an idea of what yer in for.
offensive magic is awesome. i am a mage, and fireball (chaos) or that guillotine spell (order) are perfect for thinning stacks.

fuck littlebigplanet
when i get that 8800, i'm going to use the money i was going to spend on that and buy some bitchin' pc games off steam

Or better yet, take a trip to Fry's if there's one around. They've got plenty of PC stuff at cheaper prices than Steam.

I swapped out the ram for 4gb of Gskill DDR2.
Thanks for the tips on Crysis. On the first game, I just had the system pick the optimal settings and it performed great. I did the same thing with Warhead and it seems to studder much more than the original on my system >:(
-
i'm in wilmington nc, no fry's :(

Your PC is pretty good but I wouldn't trust Cryisis's optimal settings. They are often too high.

That's too bad but check out Circuit City's website and store as well. They usually release new games at 5-10 bucks cheaper than Steam.

yeah, and i got the diablo battle chest from cc a few weeks ago for $25
i'm totally preordering Left 4 Dead on steam, though, so I can play launch night
-
ive got so many awesome games on my new pc omg so awesome new pc!
-
i wish left 4 dead released on Halloween, that would be perfect
i need to add all you guys on steam

Someone needs to make an Evilbore clan on Steam so I don't need to add everyone.

i'll do it, right now, before i go to bed

What other PC games have you been playing?

LTTP: Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock
I've come to determine from the 360 Achievements that Activision/Neversoft hold casual players in total contempt. Everything is skewed toward hardcore and online players. I'll probably max out at 150 pts. no matter how much I play. I like the controller better than Rock Band 1's, though!

Haha, now you have GH3 on your Gamercard. Fuck that. Aerosmith is better, though.

Metroid Prime 3 has such bad boss fights. Still, it is amazing how good this game look on the Wii. I wonder what Retro could do with a 360 or PS3.

Quake III.

Whew, beat Vesperia, even got the secret mission against the last boss. Rita makes the last fight so easy tho. 10-12 fireballs constantly interrupting the last boss makes it a cinch

Are you holding on to Vesperia? If not, I could buy it off you or trade something in return. Beats trading to Gamestop for 1/4 what you paid.

i'm trying to download the witcher enhanced edition stuff
good lord the official site links were so slow

KING'S BOUNTY OMG STAYED UP UNTIL 3 PLAYING IT LAST NIGHT GOTY
I downloaded the demo and it is pretty awesome. It runs surprisingly good on my dinosaur of a computer, too. :o I'm prolly gonna buy the full game when I build a new computer.
-
i have lost most of my afternoon to it
goty confirmed
-
i really really really like stalker clear sky
it's a lot of fun. in some instances it's literally more of the same as you visit exact same places as the first game.
-
Stalker is a weird game. It's as much or as little as you make of it. I think it's probably too hardcore for most gamers.
-
Just played a bit of NG2. This game has some awesome graphics. I'm not sure why everyone shitted on the way it looked.
The camera deserves all the criticisms though. I hate getting shot by faraway enemies that I can't see.
-
Gundam on the Wii is so awesome. The weakest link of this game is that it is on the Wii. Graphically it looks worse than a dreamcast game and the Wii controls aren't needed.
-
Why not both Etrians?
if I could find the first one
-
i am currently in the process of making a Universal Monsters themed lbp level
the level itself might be "meh," but the prizes will be awesome

I feel better enough from GH3 being harder than Rock Band, so it'll make me a better RB player. PLUS THERE'S A MOTHERFUCKING WHITE ZOMBIE SONG ON IT. :heartbeat The career mode is SHORT. I finished Medium, have to go back to clear Easy (no stacked Achievements? How "launchy"), and I'm looking at clearing up a few other things prior to RB2 LE launch in a couple weeks.
-

Should I even bother with the original game then or will I miss something worthwhile?

i can't say
i'm only like 5 hours into clear sky
but i'd say you're not really missing much if you have clear sky.

You know, seriously, when The Mummy (Brendan Fraser version) came out, I fully expected them to take that Indy Jones style character and have him battle the other Universal monsters: Dracula, Frankenstein, Wolfman, and The Creature from the Black Lagoon. Instead they shot their wad with that crapfest, Van Helsing. So disappointed.

Played some IU, then I got a RROD :-\
Now I'm playing Panzer Dragoon Saga. The gameplay is fairly interesting so far but the graphics are HORRIBLE, hell even in 1997 they were probably pretty shitty.

I completed all of the hero missions in Lego Batman. Yay me.

This weekend I played nothin. I've too busy working on other things. I hope to pick up the slack over the week.

Is For Answer much better, and much easier, than AC4? I just played a bit of AC4 and I still get dominated early in the game. Also, is the mission structure better?

Stoneskin + Call Lightning Spam = lolz

Didn't even make it to Chapter III. :-\
-
Play more PC games, MAF. You need to validate your investment!
-
I think I'm gonna try playing DQMJ again, lol
-
After wondering what to play and seeing the PGR mention in the Wipeout thread, I decided to play PGR4. I forgot how beautiful this game is. If Bizarre ever made an open world game with these driving mechanics and the shooting mechanics of the club, it would pretty much kill everything else.

too bad the driving is FUBAR'd. the cars are too light (or something).
I've been playing COD4 on and off trying to get Blue Tiger camo for my M4. (http://i143.photobucket.com/albums/r126/Drewsy_photobucket/_spartagun__by_SharonKorobase.gif)
-
The driving is meant to be like that since it falls between an arcade and sim racer, and personally I think it's perfect. Well, PGR2 was perfect, but PGR3/4 are good enough.
-
Is For Answer much better, and much easier, than AC4? I just played a bit of AC4 and I still get dominated early in the game. Also, is the mission structure better?
mission structure is very similar, and it's probably less forgiving -- it's much faster than ac4, and if you haven't got a good build, you're going to get into situations where you can't even hit your opponents. so yeah, i love the game, but it's probably not going to be your thing
edit: although on the other hand armored core is one of those games that can suddenly click for you -- maybe you should rent for answer or just give ac4 another spin. it's awesome if you can get into it! i swear!
-
I might rent it or give that Japanese PS3 demo another go (despite it being choppy). AC4 was really the first AC game that I wasn't big into, and for me that means a lot considering I bought my PS2 for Armored Core 2.
-
AC4 For Answer is all animu mech feelin, which rules
-
Quantum of Solace demo for PC that just came out.
-
^ Impressions please... I'm considering DLing it but I cant be fucked to
-
The demo is under 5 minutes, about 2 of those minutes are in-game scripted cutscene sequences where the camera shakes and gets blurry while the other 3 are shootouts that feel like CoD4 with a Bond skin, less grenade spam, and dumber enemies who learned the annoying game of peekaboo extreme.
-
Does it look good? Pics?
Does it play like Gears or COD?
-
I didn't think it looked good and I had everything on the highest they could be. I thought CoD4 looked great and played smooth, but ths looked sloppy. Bond himself looked like a clay sculpture covered in shellack, almost like Lionel Richie in that music video, except more shiny.
Gameplay felt like CoD4 if it had a basic cover mechanic. It wasn't nearly as good as Gears, Uncharted, Dark Sector, Vegas or those types of games because it felt so basic, but this doesn't rely on the cover all that much. The enemies are brain dead and it is basically a battle to see if you could sync up your popping out of cover with their scripted popping out of cover. The actual mechanics of it felt like Rainbow Six Vegas. Maybe it gets better as the game goes on or something, but the demo only had a small shoot out in it.
Oh, and for some reason when you are low on health you lose 80% of the screen to a shitty gun barrel effect.
