Im about to play Fable 2 for gamerscore! Never played a fable game before. Is it worth getting Fable 2 pub games on xbla for extra cheevs and cash?!

Not sure about cheevs, but if you exploit the market and trade some goods, and then buy some property, you will have an absolute fortune in no time.  Trading weapon enhancement stones (can't remember their proper name) is the best way to go once you have a little money.

Alternatively I can give you a bunch of money, I have a ridiculous amount and nothing to spend it on.

[demi]

For Fable Pub Games, dont apply the update. There's a glitch you can do for one of the games that gives you a shitload of money you can transfer to Fable 2

[The Sceneman]

400 spaceclams for pub games right? I'll bite I think. Im really keen to hit 50k gamerscore so I will be cheev whorin' hard from here on in

demi can you be a bro and suggest some easy 1000s? Pref in the action/shooter genre

Been trying to track down a copy of Namco Museum Virtual arcade for the discount XBLA cheev smashin, having toruble finding a copy!

[duckman2000]

Played Afterburner Climax today, pretty cool with the moving seat and stuff

[Raban]

Beat RE5, played through LiN on Veteran with a friend (local co-op fucking SUCKS), downloaded Perfect Dark and I'm gonna juggle that and Mercs until Super comes out.

I keep wanting to buy new games when they come out, but first of all, I'm too poor, and second of all, I already have like 8 games for my 360, not including the XBLA games I've got.

Need to beat mah games son.

And dear lord demi, how the fuck are you able to 1000 every goddamn game you play? You're like a god demi

Was going to play a lot of GoW3 tonight, but had some good runs in Zettai Hero and played that all night.  Almost at lvl.1000!  920 or something now.  Should finish it up in the next few days so I can move to Resonance of Fate for my next stat grind material.  I'd definitely say Zettai is as good of a game and has as much substance as any of the other N1 disgaea-likes.  Very satisfied with the game.

Played a little more GoW3.  Good stuff, but it's been pretty hard to adjust to the new gameplay difficulty.  You literally cannot play the game like GoW1/2 or you fucking die all the time on normal.  It's no NG, but it's actually hard now and they throw more enemies at you and enemies/bosses are as grindy as always so you gotta take advantage of all the new movement attacks that give better positioning control and crowd control.  Still adjusting so I die a lot, but getting better.  The block -> counter thing is just as broken as ever like GoW2 & Dante's Inferno.  You can just rapid fire block for most normal attacks and then counter, but it's boring to fight like that so better to use the new moves and just rely on block->counters in a pinch.

I meant to tell you this, demi; Bionic Commando really surprised me. It took me a bit to realize it, but it's a very original game in terms of gameplay. Not only that, but the game mechanics are really fun once you get the hang of them.

Man I know what a good game is, no need to tell me. I'm just doing my part spreading the gospel

Yeah, but I still can't accept your recommendation for Sonic Unleashed. I played the demo and it was absolute boring shit.

[demi]

At least you have your looks

[Raban]

At least you have your looks

I don't understand, dude, I even tried to enjoy it. It's just so bad. The controls are trash, the gameplay is zzz, but the graphics are really tight. Is the demo a pretty sharp indication of the full game? If so, never buying.

[Bebpo]

with the exception of f-zero gx,there was never,ever a good sega game!

uh anyway i'm playing king's bounty and i don't know what to think,the game either goes "here are 20 poor peasants,go crumple them" or "here are 20 dragons/knight,ehy wait! don't hit load so quickly!" it's like it never can find the right spot

you insensitive clod, how dare ye mock the highbrow offerings of drama and emotionally deep storytelling that emotes emotions that push you to emotional peaks that you have never felt before   

[Fragamemnon]

Hit the 40 hour mark in class of heroes this morning-game has some really wacky weird difficultly streaks (often way too easy), but now that I'm through the 'non linear' part of the game I'm hoping it'll be all high XP/good loot, all the time (since that's what I am playing the game for!) .

Fun game, very solid Wizardry clone. If an indie dev made this for the PC without the lolis it would be in every CRPG suggestion thread as a must-play.

Final Fantasy VI Advance has some of the most disgusting abuse of ellipses I've ever seen in a non-fan translation

anyone wanna buy a softmodded wii for $150 shipped?  comes with one wii remote/nunchuck set. It's all ready to go, you just need to hook up an external HDD with ISOs.

I will be renting a crap game for achievements tonight. Either Terminator or King Kong.

You just gotta play crap every now and then, to make the AAA stuff seem better you know

[BlackMage]

God of War 3 and Mass Effect 2!

Still need to finish Darksiders after then move on to FF13. After that, Maybe heavy rain then who knows.

[tiesto]

Beat ME2, everyone survived the final mission... every achievement acquired except for hitting level 30 (I'm at 28, I'm hoping the forthcoming Cerberus content will push me to 30), and beating the game on Insane (fat chance of that happening). Final time, with doing every N7 and Loyalty mission, took me 48 hours

I chose to give Cerebus the Collector Ship tech

Just bought Resonance of Fate, but that comes after I beat FF13.

[magus]

okay so i went to an isle and then kicked the ass of a giant turtle and then the king said "YOU ARE AWESOME" and gave me a 500 loyalty bonus and extra unit to buy,after that i leveled up and got another 300 loyalty bringing my total from 900 to 1800,my army is now doubled in size and i'm going to the marsh again so i can kick the ass of everything living and unliving,finding a princess frog,making a youth potion and raiding as many tomb as i can

i love this game!  

P.S a while ago i found a place where to recruit knights but it was protected by a very strong unit,i think that maybe i now have a chance to take it out but are the knight worth the effort? i'm quite happy with my current setup,currently using archers,archmage,monks (by the way,how do you upgrade them?) swordsman and guardsmen... if i had to remove something i would remove the monks,their damage output is kinda sucky but i like having 3 ranged units

King Kong was a lot of fun, though very fast, no replay value, and suffering from a couple of n-n-n-nasty glitches. Visually, it's very much a PS2 game forcibly ported to new hardware. It's no BG&E, but it's not horrible for a licensed game.

Anyone playing Resonance of Fate?

[demi]

Still waiting on Amazon...

[Bebpo]

Anyone playing Resonance of Fate?

Got mine today from Amazon.  Might give it a go tonight.  Realistically I'd like to finish Zettai Hero, GoW3, MM10 & Ratchet CiT before getting into RoF so I can clear my plate a bit.  Should be able to finish all 3 of those this weekendish and get into RoF next week.

Most of the impressions of the game are positive.  I don't see any claims that it's the best rpg or anything, but everyone is having fun.

[magus]

total loyalty 2500,i have solved some sidequest,i need 6 other magic rune and then i can blow shit up
i found a weird headless skeleton that asked me to find his head but the place had like a gazillions of skeleton so i just decided to go there later

Normality. It's an awesome first-person adventure game from Germlin that came out back in 1996; I've had my copy for about as long. As far as adventure games go, I'd put it up with some of the best from Sierra and Lucasarts, it's a shame that Gremlin only made one other adventure game during their run [the first-person shooter/adventure game hybrid Realms of the Haunting]. I don't think I've played Normality in the past ten years, but it hold up pretty well.

[The Sceneman]

lol the video store didnt have Kong so I rented Ghostbusters instead. Only have it for one night  got halfway through on "professional" difficulty, was trying to beat it in one sitting but I got bored so I went and JOed and went to sleep. Might rent again at some point.

Ghostbusters is impossible to 1000, enjoy your shit game

king's bounty keep being awesome
i can't remember the last time i had so much fun with a pc game
i've reached around 4000 loyalty and crossed the continent,battle quality skyrocketed! i just had an encounter where i had to defeat 1000 plants! currently being hunting for a pirate,plus i finaly learned to make things explode! and i can summon an evil book who can himself make things explode too so we can explode more things altogether!
and i got a bunch of dwarves who gets to hit multiple unit and they work awesomely well together with my archmage since i can use the archmage telekinesis to align more unit and then hit them all together with the dwarves
awesomeawesomeawesomeawesome

I sent back Red Faction Guerrilla off to Gamefly after clearing Oasis.  I think the game was great but I want to play other things.  I see that keeping it goes for about $15 and with a $5 credit I can use towards it, I've spent worse on $10 before but I might just rent it later down the road.

I'm still having fun with Dirt 2.

[The Sceneman]

like 10 minutes away from 1200/1200 in Mass Effect 1 just need to use the last couple of skills a couple more times...

not sure what I'll play next. Matt Hazard could be on the cards.

Get KING KONG, not Terminator.  I rented both games, for the same reason as you, and King Kong is at least enjoyable if too easy but Terminator was just horribly repetitive.

For Terminator, I had no challenge playing it on Hard until halfway through chapter 7 (of 9) where you have to keep this one dude from dieing and I just couldn't get past it.

King Kong on the other hand is easy the whole way through and you'll at least have some fun with it too.

[The Sceneman]

yeah Ive heard KK is kinda fun and you dont get to portray a gorilla in a game too often

[HyperZoneWasAwesome]

I'm making another attempt at narrowing down my embarrassingly large backlog and as a result I'm now almost finished with Fear Effect for the PS1.

Its actually holds up surprisingly well, except for the parts that are distinguished mentally-challenged difficult, those aren't so much fun at all, but I can emphasize why it was done that way.  If the game didn't ever get bitch hard, it would be a 4 hour game, instead, its an 6-7 hour game with dated (but still kinda nifty) production values, controls, and graphics that is nevertheless still not bad at all.  If only the FMV weren't so tremendously ugly, eh, it'll do.

I bought it about seven years ago for 4 bucks, I've got its sequel around here somewhere, I'll endeavor not to wait until 2017 to get through that.

lol forgot about that asshole

I loved how the Rare DK games were basically just a really pretty version of the Mario game that gen.

[Ichirou]

I finished Mass Effect 2 and started on Prince of Persia.  Slowly working my way through my 360 library.

[Ichirou]

The 360 Prince of Persia game is fairly easy so far (since you can't die) but the controls can be fucking frustrating.

I'm wondering if I should get The Forgotten Sands.  I kind of want to boycott it since it's just a tie-in to the Jake Gyllenhaal movie and doesn't continue the story from this game.

Also, it looks like the Ubisoft servers to unlock the Altair costume were taken down.  I want to play as Altair but it looks like I can't unlock that costume. FUCK UBISOFT.

Not yet, gonna finish FF13 first and then play it.

lol 'fairly easy'. More like ludicrously easy. If you fall off a ledge you get put straight back onto it, you never get taken back further than a couple of platforms. You can push a button and it shows you exactly where to friggn go. Game is total poop but I finished it for some easy gamerscore. Only plus really is some nice graphics.

I bought MUSCLE MARCH on Wiiware and me and quietID had an awesome time playing it on Friday night. Should be the official game of The Bore I reckon. So so so good. Damn that evil Mech Muscle! Surprised the game made it out of Japan but theres obviously a market for this kind of stuff.

Nearly 200'ed Matt Hazard Blood Bath and Beyond, just 2 cheevs to go.

1200/1200'ed Mass Effect 1 yesterday, FINALLY.
