Post by: AdmiralViscen on January 16, 2009, 11:04:27 PM: How do you like LBP?

I'm wrapping up Sly Cooper (some great racist caricatures here), I was doing SC4 earlier, and I'll probably be doing Vakyria Chronicles tomorrow.

Post by: Eel O'Brian on January 16, 2009, 11:06:48 PM: earlier i was playing return to castle wolfenstein on my netbook

i was quite impressed with the performance - 800x600 with almost everything on high and it ran smooth

ran better than half-life, actually, even though hl is an older game
Title: Re: What are you playing?
Post by: cool breeze on January 16, 2009, 11:12:43 PM: Valkyria
Left 4 Dead
SF2HD

SF2 HD Remix online is dead on PS3. I hope SF4 online isn't as bad since I'd need to get an arcade stick and the game for the 360. I'm forced to wait for 4 others before I can fight and I'm stuck using Remixed mode where I don't know half the moves.

I'm enjoying it. It's more of a B game for me, not a game of foreover. I'm currently playing the Metal Gear Level Pack.

Post by: CajoleJuice on January 16, 2009, 11:21:45 PM: I haven't played anything for a couple of weeks.

I might try out Defense Grid in a bit. Maybe some TF2 or L4D.

I will play Civ4 either tomorrow or Sunday for too many hours.

WOW

edit: Oh and The Witcher, though I think I've gotten myself in some sort of open ended 12 part quest, I don't really know where to go or what to do, and I'm getting sick of carving up bog zombies and leech people.

Play scoreboard matches instead of player matches if you don't like waiting, or create rooms with only 2-3 opponents total.

What don't you know? The changes? Just look online for a brief run-down or better yet, learn by playing. :)
Title: Re: What are you playing?
Post by: cool breeze on January 17, 2009, 12:46:25 AM: yeah, it's the minor changes. One example is yoga flame now a back quarter circle instead of semi circle forward. I don't reall want to learn it since SF4 is out in around a month. I'll try to see if scoreboard has more matches.
Title: Re: What are you playing?
Post by: Diunx on January 17, 2009, 01:15:12 AM: Soul Reaver 2, of course I forgot to save before going to class so now I'm gonna have to watch all the cutscenes again, maybe I'll make a sandwich while Raziel is talking with the guy with the staff.
Title: Re: What are you playing?
Post by: huckleberry on January 17, 2009, 01:52:40 AM: Been playing a little of the Quake Live beta, along with Fallout 3.

Post by: ToxicAdam on January 18, 2009, 03:27:44 PM: Discovered Children of the Nile over the weekend. They re-released the demo for it and I got hooked.

(http://pcmedia.ign.com/pc/image/article/564/564982/immortal-cities-children-of-the-nile-20041109072707509.jpg)

Kind of like Sim City circa 2000 BC. Lots of fun.

I've been fucking around with Brain Pipe demo. Check out the gameplay on this game. It's the trippiest shit I have ever played.

When you are playing it in a dark room at 3am with headphones on, it becomes like some wierd trip.
Title: Re: What are you playing?
Post by: Positive Touch on January 18, 2009, 04:26:07 PM: gonna get some more trophies on Mirror's Edge, get back into Fallout 3 (been a few weeks since I played it), and keep searching for a Blockbuster that has a copy of Rock Band 1 so I can copy the songs to my hard drive for RB2
Title: Re: What are you playing?
Post by: Crushed on January 18, 2009, 04:37:43 PM: Aaaaaand I'm already finished with Mirror's Edge. Seriously, WTF was that? That was the worst ending I've ever seen in a modern videogame.

Also, I lol'd when I saw went through the concept art and saw a sketch for a cut level.

DICE Dev #1: The length is approaching the seven-hour mark? Woah now, let's cut a level. In its place, we can add another gun fight area.
DICE Dev #2: Why not a rooftop parkour area?
DICE Dev #1: Hmm... okay. As long as you're forced to run from constant gunfire the whole time.
Title: Re: What are you playing?
Post by: The Sceneman on January 18, 2009, 05:33:52 PM: Played heaps of Crackdown yesterday, beat the game and did all the time trials on Psychotic difficulty.

I might shelve it for now (got 600 gamerscore, good enough) and get into some Project Gotham 3 (found it for a couple of bucks, seems pretty good)

Might also play some Super Castlevania IV
Title: Re: What are you playing?
Post by: CajoleJuice on January 19, 2009, 12:24:38 AM: Finally gave Defense Grid a try. Only played the first level, but I made sure to get a flawless victory. Barely missed it the first try, got it on the second try. I'm going to end up trying to get that every level now, damn it.

I pretty much felt this way through all four games. Only the original has memorable music.

hm, I heard the third one was great again music-wise... we'll see.

Anyway, so far this game is a lot harder than the first one. The life bar lasts through the entire case, even out of court. The addition of the psyche lock stuff has me manually saving all the time. Plus, the cracks in the testimonies aren't that easy to spot. Big jump compared to AA in this aspect
