Title: Uh, its the weekend and games are played 12/20/2008
Post by: The Sceneman on December 19, 2008, 05:07:11 PM
Weather is shit and Im getting over a sinus infection, time to drink pop and game my ass off. So what are you dudes playing?

Im fairly broke from buying xmas groceries so no new games for me  :( So I'll just be dicking with what Ive got lying around.

Im trying to avoid Sants Row 2 as some crazy Australian chick friend requested me now wont stop messaging me and sending me game invites. It would be an awesome 'success' story to get pussy on Xbox Live but she dont live in the same country so cant be fucked

Might play some more Portal (Orange Box version), almost done with it I think. How tough are the advanced/challenge levels?

Playing Outrun 2006 Coast 2 Coast to get my dick hard for the upcoming xbla version :hyper such an awweeeeesome game :bow Risky Ride :bow2

Either start Digital Devil Saga 2 or try and finish Infinite Undiscovery

Or I might rent Yakuza 2 or get back into DMC4 (almost S ranked Devil Hunter missions), I think Im in the mood for some 3d action

Played some Toejam & Earl last night with Polari on Virtual Console. Honestly, what were Sega thinking? One of the most fucked up/typically 90's games Ive ever played. We'll probably give it another crack next time we have some good weed

Sins of a Solar Empire Entrenchment Beta - good stuff so far, starbases could use a bit more bam but Sins is always good
Battles in Normandy - wargaming kick, one day I'll get Battles in Italy so I can run the usermade scenarios but this is just a great game
Age of Empires 3: Asian Dynasties - Getting an Age of Empires kick back on. It's been almost three years and still no one, either now or on the horizon, is doing anything in the RTS scene remotely as ambitious with persistence like Ensemble did with AoE3.
Audiosurf - I always thought that this game was just hype from indie loving wankers, turns out it's the real deal. Very fun game.

I picked up DQVIII for 10 bucks at Gamestop. I have a feeling I'm going to hate it.

For some reason I got the Advanced Wars bug... I have been going through a lot of the War Room maps and trying to get S ranks. How can I suck at a game so simple?

Castlevania: OoE- While it takes several steps back in terms of depth it does (finally) take several steps forward in level design. For once I'm interested in seeing what the next set of "rooms" bring. Hopefully they can combine the aspects of the Sorrow series with the layout of this game for the next one.

Dragon Quest IV- Just made it to the fourth chapter. It's a little easier than I had hoped for and I'm not using any of the seeds.

Super Stardust Portable- Game is awesome just like its big brother.

Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo HD Remix- I'll keep playing this until there's noone left to play with.

Not much 'cuz my wife was hogging my computer (and the monitor that the PS3 and 360 are hooked up to  :maf) all week long.  She has got to get her own computer ASAP.

So it was mostly the Wii.  Played a bunch of Tatsunoko Vs. Capcom and some F-Zero GX.

AW is all about figuring out some trick on each map early that lets you annhilate it late.  Kind of bothersome that way.

Yea, I am to the point where I am going to start peeking at Gamefaqs. Playing a map for 50 minutes only to miss out on an S rank by 1 day is no fun.

Ughhh, playing through Gears on the PC right now. They really fucked up the friendly AI. I remember on the original 360 version that your squad would at least shoot at the enemy, but on the PC version there will be locust standing right in front of them and they will just stand there. The enemy AI on the other hand is improved. I am all for great enemy AI, but why bother giving me a squad when they become more of a liability than an asset?

I got the Rock Band 2 set from Toys R Us, so now some Rock Band 2 with the new instruments.  So far the new wireless Guitar is 100 times better than the Rock Band 1 guitar.  I don't know if I like it more than the Guitar Hero 2 PS2 one (before this it was the last guitar I thought was actually good), but being wireless does help it a lot.  Hopefully the last plastic guitar I would ever need.  Haven't tried the drums yet.

omg, I must vent about Gears of War for Windows. I cannot express what a piece of shit this game is, but I am thankful that I experienced the superior 360 version when it launched otherwise I am afraid that I would have been permanently turned off of the series. Your AI teammates follow you........sometimes. Most of the time they stand in an area that you have already cleared and do not bother to progress. They put in this stupid fucking command system that works..........sometimes. My only guess is that they put in the commands to make up for the absolutely shitty follow AI. And as I said, it only works sometimes. And you can't count on your teammates to shoot at anything, even if there are locusts right in front of them. Several boss fights and areas have glitched on me, making me reload the checkpoint in order to progress. The enemies are super accurate this time around, and I have been killed several times while in cover. These things never happened to me on the 360 version.

There are only 2 pros to this port: 1.) The sniping is 2000x better with mouse controls and I can pop heads much easier. 2.) The graphics are much better (but even with v-sync turned on I get screen tearing like a motherfucker).

Oh, and to top it all off there were all of 3 people online playing the versus mode. What a fucking joke.

I cannot express how shitty this port is. DO NOT BUY THIS GAME  :yuck

Played the heck out of some BULLY on Friday night, wept that it will never see a sequel, and then played too much Fable II on Saturday night. Also played 20 minutes of the Doritos dino-eat-truck game to get 200 Achievement points.

I fall in, then out of love with Fable II repeatedly over the course of a single play session. So much is done well that the stupid stuff breaks my immersion. I spend a lot of time bored while hammering at the blacksmiths, wondering why they fell so in love with that stupid semicircle on which they project every kind of job success, and why chopping wood is almost soothingly meditative, while 'smithing is as tense and un-fun as having an ex-girlfriend nearby and wielding a stapler while one's boy junk is exposed. Tense. Every time I get a decent multiplier, POOF away it goes. Spent 20 minutes off and on trying to figure out how to heal my dog when the context on the D-pad was refusing to offer "heal dog" in favor of the Archaeology side-quest note.

Cormacaroni, I'm up for F2 co-op if you like.

I decided to play through Yakuza 2.  It's better than the first game so far.  I walked down the street that these guys didn't want me to, so I beat them up; so their boss was like "look at the tough man! come get your dick rubbed for free".  I go in the building and it's an adult baby fetish place, so when you try to leave, they get offended and you start fighting a bunch of buff men in diapers.

A friend came over and we played some Gears 2 Horde mode briefly, although it didn't last long.  Saturday night I played 5P with friends online and we got to level 47 on our second go-through.  Playing offline split-screen with one other player just wasn't the same; wish there was split-screen online guest multiplayer  like the original had.   :-\ 

So we switched to Halo 3 and had a blast; it's actually been a couple of months since I last played it so things felt fresher.  Then it was some brief Soul Calibur IV, but I was destroying my buddy so we switched to most played game of the night--

Mortal Kombat Vs. DC Universe!  Messing around with all the characters, trying fatalities (Liu Kang's first one is the best by far, too bad the rest aren't funny it is), and mostly just laughing our asses off at the art, voices, and character design in general.  This game is bad, but "good-bad."  Makes me glad I got it.  It's fun to screw around with sometimes.  The change to (mostly) 2D game play was a good decision, but it still feels quite stiff compared to other 2.5D fighters like Battle Fantasia, SF4, and Tatsunoko Vs. Capcom.  Typical Mortal Kombat I guess.  Oh and one of the fatalities we tried that is supposed to be censored was NOT-- perhaps playing this on a Japanese system has something to do with it?  I need to try the Joker's gun fatality and see if it too is uncensored.
