What are you currently playing?

[stultiloquy]

Feeling nostalgic, so I'm replaying Half-Life.
Haven't played it since my junior year of high school, and while some aspects haven't aged well at all, it's still quite fun.

[OssMan]

Games I've beaten so far in 2012:
Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword

[Fryza]

Started back up Mass Effect to get some of the achievements. Need to work on the biotic now (have to do Liara, Ashley, and Kaidan too...)

Will probably play Mass Effect 2 again just to play it, but only things left is beating Shadow Broker on Hard/Insane and beating the game on Insane itself.

Not playing anything really though, until Street Fighter x Tekken and Mass Effect 3 are released.

[Raven Reaper]

Beaten on X-Box now: Halo CE: Anniversary.. Final mission was frustrating esp. the blowing up reactors with rocket launcher while the sentinels are flaming your ass.

And about to finish Spider-Man: Edge of Time.. It felt like Tron Evolution and Arkham style beat em up platform game series.

I'm at the final battle scene with The Evil Peter Parker in the IRon Spider Suit. He's weakening yet manages to climb over the portal to make one huuuge uber red laser on me.. Very Frustrating to beat this guy.

[Raven Reaper]

Yes, Finally finished Spider-Man's edge of time.

And currently playing: Clash of the Titans (it's very different than the 2010 movie even though the graphics and actors are the same images yet different voices.. Haha. That's my CONS there.)

Lots of shit reviews on this game but I wasn't even bored the least... Sure, it's repetitive quests of gathering weapons and magic spells from Greek's famous monsters.. All because I'm a biiiggg nerd on anything Greek mythology stuff even if the game is pure shit.. DOn't expect high standard graphics like MW3 or anything. Sometimes the gameplay is what matters the most.

[Emperor Smeat]

Games beaten in 2012:
Sonic 2 (XBLA version)
Call of Duty Black Ops

In terms of just the campaign, 2nd CoD game I've ever played and 1st since the start of the Modern Warfare split. Besides some forced moments, it was pretty great and liked the Vietnam War parts the most.

Going to spend the most time with Skyward Sword and Eternal Darkness as the main games for the rest of the month.

[G]

I don't think I ever beat a Sonic game. Hmmm

[BigDaddyCool]

I am on Assassins Creed Revalations and Skyrim right now. I want to get some play throughs of Mass Effect 1 and 2 before getting Mass Effect 3.

Gotta go back and finish Kingdoms of Amalur now.

[stultiloquy]

Just beat Vanquish.

The graphics and art design is fantastic, the action set pieces are engaging, tense, and fun, and the game does a good job of pacing itself so you don't get burnt out.

It's really short - only took 5 1/2 hours to complete, but it's a very solid shooter/action game.
You could probably find it quite cheap now, so if you see it I recommend picking it up.

Just picked up Velvet Assassin on clearance, so I'll be starting that shortly.

Bioshock - 88
Story 18/20
Setting 20/20
Gameplay 15/20
Originality 20/20
Replayability 15/20

Just finished playing this last night and I can only agree with what the critics have said about it. It is an exceptionally solid game start to finish. The twists are wonderful and well done. I never once felt truly safe traversing Rapture, as the security systems, splicers and Big Daddies have a way of tearing you to shreds no matter how prepared you are.

That is another thing I quite liked, the lack of ammo. They seemed to strike that perfect balance between Resident Evil where ammo conservation is important and Call of Duty where you seem to be a walking bullet hose at times. It found a nice niche right in the middle that even despite having some ammo, very very rarely was I not able to pick more up due to having capacity. The dreary setting they made and the musical score went together like peas and carrots. The setting I think is what made this game so good, based on Ayn Rand and her beliefs in Objectivism which I had previously been quite interested in before this game. It gave a look how a society driven on morals and the advancement of mankind without limitations or hindrances can still fall apart despite the efforts against it.

What I found interesting and in the very least ironic, is the rejection of religion Ayn Rand and in turn Andrew Ryan (which I think was a clever way of referencing her) and there still being bibles found all over Rapture. Hell, even the name of the place itself is dripping with irony. And the first person you see I believe in Neptunes Fortune is a smuggler who is crucified...

Anyways, the game has an incredible story which you can make as deep as you want by listening to the audio tapes (must have spent hours doing this myself) and drawing the conclusions from those with what you think happened that the games story doesn't tell you.

Now, I gave it some perfect marks on a couple areas, so I will just elaborate on the ones I didn't.

Story - Its far too black and white. The game is based on your choices and the consequences are just way too black and white.

Contains end game spoilers

The first time I saw a Big Daddy I must have accidentally hit it with something because it came charging right at me. Then for a short bit I was thinking I was just lucky to get the drop on them first despite Tenenbaums request to save the Little Sisters. I thought she meant let the vile little thing go completely. As I found out shortly after perhaps my 4th or 5th harvested Little Sister is that they nor the big daddies are hostile towards to you. So I took the morally wrong choice of harvesting the Little Sister because I thought that was the right thing to do given their aggresive nature towards me.

Well, harvesting even ONE gives you a different ending to the game. My qualm is that if you harvest even one, even if you rescue all the others the game will give you the bad ending.

Lastly, the rewards for saving them shouldn't be present. The message would be much more powerful if there wasn't any reward for doing so. It would have the choice between power and conscience and nothing else.

Anywho, if I had not accidentally attacked a Big Daddy and thought them hostile, then I likely would have gotten the good ending as we seem fine tuned to make the moral choices in games leaving towards being the good guy.

Very much enjoyed the games story though.


Gameplay - A crossbow having a higher damage output then a grenade launcher sort of irritated me since the crossbow bolts are ridiculously cheap in comparison and made the game after that far too easy for me as I play CoD a lot and have been using a sniper rifle to shoot people charging at me quite a bit. I don't think this would apply to a normal person who doesn't play shooters but I had to say it.

Two other things, one was that sometimes hacking there wasn't a possible way to win. It happened only a handful of times and incidentally only when hacking safes but it was frustrating as you lose quite a bit of health or get security drones on you.

Lastly, Every time you revived in a Vita-Chamber, the monsters didn't regain health. You only recovered a little bit yourself but through perseverance you could whittle away an enemies health and that I think was the biggest flaw in the game.

During several fights, I saw splicers run to healing stations to get health back but NOT after you die. I suppose this would have made the game abnormally difficult at some points but it would have made sense if they had run to a healing station after they killed you and not just limped away.

Replayability - Only reason I dropped it down was because after you know the twists, I don't think the experience would truly be the same.

In conclusion, one of the most engulfing and well developed games I have ever had the pleasure to play.

Games beaten in 2012:

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 (9.5/10)
Bit.Trip Runner (10/10)
UFC Undisputed 3

Redboxed this over the weekend. Pretty decent controls, though I'm horrible with transitions and submissions. Mostly try to keep headkicks flying and throw on a suplex every now and then. Disappointed that the career mode makes you retire after 11 years. REALLY disappointed that Ultimate Fights only has 4 fights without forcing you to get DLC. 7/10

Only game I have been playing lately is Call of Duty modern warfare 3 on xbox 360 online. Mostly only play infected mode.


I do have a big backlog though to start on sometime

[RoXer]

Games I've Beaten in 2012:

Saints Row: The Third - 86
Ultimate MvC 3 - 80
Mortal Kombat - 85
From Dust - 75
Street Fighter III: Third Strike Online Edition - 60
Skate 3 - 82
Back to the Future: The Game - 70

The Simpsons: The Arcade Game - 56
Mass Effect 3 - 86
Payday: The Heist - 70
MLB 12: The Show - 83
NBA 2K12 - 79

Haven't finished Payday but I don't think I will. Doing the last two or three missions require you to level up a bit to get different loadouts/abilities and I don't feel like playing it that much. It's not a bad game but the movement can feel a little clunky at times. I wish that you had to do more than hold one button when interacting with objects. Maybe rotate the analog stick, complete a quick time event, or something. Lack of communication from playing on PS3 didn't help either. But it's a fun co-op shooter. Could have used a few more missions I think but for however much I paid for it, it's pretty good.

Although I'm not "done" with the sports games I've played enough to know what I see. I really enjoy Diamond Dynasty in The Show. At first I did. Now though, I think the rest of the teams are going to be overpowered cheaters. The system of using X amount of created players along with X amount of MLB players for only X amount of games and improving the created players to X amount of attributes for X amount of cash needs to be improved. I don't know how. I haven't spent enough time with the system yet but I'll think of something.

The game itself is fine. As long as you have an hour to kill for each game. You COULD speed up the in game time by ignoring cutscenes, making the CPU throw more strikes, etc but if you tinker with those settings than it ruins the pitcher/batter battle which is really what baseball is all about.

2K is what it is. I'm starting to get sick of it though. I think it's the controls and the fact that I can never pass to who I want to.

I don't think we will ever get passed that last part of the Batman Skyhook mission

[RoXer]

I think you have to just spread out and keep moving forward while shooting to get to the other side of the bridge and not get fox holed into one spot.

I did the next mission a minute ago and I think we almost made it to the end but died. It's a stealth mission where you can do the whole thing without shooting if you're really good. Except we got found out like 1 minute into it.

Haven't done the last one.

[LoDownM]

Don't even like baseball and I've been addicted to MLB 2K12 for the last week or so :-\ Haven't finished Soul Caliber V yet because of it.

Currently Playing:

Castlevania : Lords Of Shadow. Control seems kinda awkward, stuck on the first "semi-boss", about 5 minutes into the game. Pretty frustrating.

Really wish you could use the weapons and horses from that in the regular game. As it is, there are two few people around to have fun fucking around.

Games I've beaten so far in 2012:
Forza 3
Fight Night Round 4
WWE '12 Road to Wrestlemania mode

I was on a role and had all of those beaten by the middle of January (of course I had started most of them in 2011 or earlier) and thought I would have a couple more done by now, but I haven't done any more than fire the xbox up and play around with WWE 12 Universe mode a couple of times (and my brother beat Arkham City) since then.

[Pintint]

Recently picked up Final Fantasy X again. I am only very early on the game...

[Emperor Smeat]

Games beaten in 2012:
Sonic 2 (XBLA version)
Call of Duty Black Ops
Portal (Xbox 360 Orange Box version)

Been playing this sporadically for the last couple of years and just got around to completing it. Main reason was I had a lot of difficulties with the slingshot type jump and almost every Youtube video on the game was just people using tricks instead of solving the tests normally.

[Emperor Smeat]

Games beaten in 2012:
Sonic 2 (XBLA version)
Call of Duty Black Ops
Portal (Xbox 360 Orange Box version)
Rainbow Six Vegas 2

Overall liked the game more than the first but the ending was a huge letdown once the reason why the main villain became a bad guy was revealed.
Apparently the whole reason Gabe goes rouge and becomes the villain is because you never let him get any blame for his mistakes. All the killings and backstabbing of Rainbow Six was just for that sole reason. Everything else was just to make you go find him just so he could say that to your face

[G]

Vegas 2 :heart:

[Fignuts]

Just finished Saint's Row. Gonna start LA Noire tonight.

[DAMN iNATOR]

Gonna look up some how-to's on achievements for BioShock 2 and then give it another long-awaited playthrough. Honestly not even that excited at all for BioShock Infinite. Guess it's because the Rapture 1959 and 1969 from the first two, as well as the characters, gameplay and story have made me see them through rose-colored glasses, whereas I percieve this new game may be only average at best by my personal standards.

[Rammsteinmad]

X-Men 2: Wolverine's Revenge. :cool:

Gave up on GTA: Vice City. Made it to 99%. :mad:

[Ace]

Playing through Spider-Man : Edge of Time. It's pretty enjoyable. Game play is pretty repetitive, but the story is fun.

TBH, it's hard not to compare any superhero game against Arkham, which blows everything else out of the water. The Amazing Spider-Man game adaptation looks promising.


Also playing UFC 3. It's fun, and I prefer the submission system to the 'shinning' crap from the last game. I'll probably just play it for a week and sell it on though.

Rushed through the last part of the game because I was having issues with the quest marker showing up then disappearing, got very annoying. Might play it again without the rushing through, maybe raise it to a 4.

I should probably post my list. I will need to look through my trophies/achievements.

The hardest level was beating that Black Cat bitch and her hologram clones. :p Although the final boss battle with the Evil Peter Parker with a Iron Black Widow Spider suit was cool.

And yes, I'm playing THIS battleship version:

I feel Deadly Premonition doesn't deserve a rating. I don't think it's fair to compare it to other games of this generation. It's a polarizing game and I am one of those who didn't like it. I'm trying to remember if I enjoyed anything out of it but I can't say I did. The story maybe. It actually had some twists and turns that were unexpected yet were still within reason of the story. I called who the Raincoat Killer was pretty early but I think it was designed that way. I tried finishing a lot of this game in one weekend. I did not succeed. I think that's what limited my enjoyment was trying to rush through it. During the middle sections I just said fuck it and let the game do it's thing, not having any expectations on how long a certain episode may take. Once I stopped trying to "beat the clock" it became a bit more enjoyable but not much. Doing anything in that game dragged and took about 5 times longer than it should have.

But if I were to give Deadly Premonition a rating, it would be higher than Goldeneye: Reloaded. What a load of uninspired crap that was. The game was linear. Also, the "modernization" of the story wasn't necessary. The sound is bad. Just dogshit. The guns sound bad, there is no music that stands out (I think they did away with and Bond theme altogether), and Daniel Craig may have literally phoned it in. He may have Skyped his performance from his house without any direction given. Multiplayer was probably dumb, I dunno. I didn't really bother with it, just ran through a few maps on private mode. All of them bland. No "classic" maps to choose from. Fuck this.

I am not a fan of SFXT either. I may give it one more chance later down the road but I just can't get the hang of it. Maybe I'm doing something wrong but it just doesn't feel like I'm playing Street Fighter. If Capcom wants to branch out and attempt something different, that's fine. But if they wanted to include something "familiar" from both franchises, I think they missed on the Street Fighter side. I am having a hell of time both using and fighting against characters I've played with for years and if it's a technical issue like poor netcode or not recognizing input than that's even more reason for a low rating since the game isn't complete. Also, fuck the DLC/hacking situation.

I knew my luck of playing mostly great games would run out pretty soon. :(

Just picked up Valkyria Chronicles 2 again after not touching it for like four months. I had only gotten an hour in, but it's so disorienting to pick up an RPG like that. That series works really well in handheld format though. I've been playing a bit of Trials Evo too.

I'm basically holding off on anything major until Diablo 3; I don't want to have to stop anything else, because I will probably be playing that for a while.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Just Beat Fallout 3 and New Vegas recently. Going through Borderlands now but it's just not as addicting as Fallout.

[Sepholio]

I'm currently trying to do a 100% run of Xenoblade Chronicles, but damn, this game is kinda long for a JRPG. Maddening amounts of content.

I don't feel like playing this. They're stealth games, so they require time/patience. I don't feel like spending time/patience on these remakes. It's not as if the story is tremendous or there is some part in these games that I HAVE to play. I've already played the much improved next gen version of these games and enjoyed them, no reason to hash out an average made collection of the first three games when I have other shit to do. If I wanna know happens story-wise, I'll look it up.

If there was a halt on video game production, I might come back to this. Eventually. But I don't see that happening.

I'm still going through Secret Agent mode now in Goldeneye. I'm at the second Bunker level.

I've also been playing WCW/nWo World Tour while downloading music and doing chores. It's easy to play just one match or one championship between loads. Once I have conquered all the championships, I'm moving to Revenge.

Still have neglected Borderlands, though.

Besides some minor nitpicking, easily one of the best games I've played this generation and the combat was really good with the motion controls. The first hour or two is pretty slow but gets a lot better after the first temple.

I enjoyed it.. I really liked the fact that you can go back and replay each "case" if you don't do great on them.. Some of the questioning is stupid, like it won't let you do what you'd really do IRL, but it's a good game overall.. I think the next one will be great..

Just 'beat' the "Complete" edition over (includes DLC cases) the weekend, still working on 100%, though as I still need to find like 65 vehicles and all the gold film reels and like 19 of the badges from the badge pursuit challenge.

Right now, playing through Read Dead Redemption GotY.

I got back into Samurai Warriors 2 just so I can get 1000 gamerscore on it. :$

Simple task, really. Other than that fact that I gotta go back into the infinte castle and get Katsuie as my super bodyguard. :(

[stultiloquy]

Tried out the Dragon's Dogma demo.

I was kinda disappointing - it excels in it's presentation, but the combat is very shallow.
Every fight consisted of hammering X and Y, enemies were pretty dumb, and the bosses were incredibly easy, I was able to stand right next to the chimera, hammer the previously mentioned buttons, and I never once ran the risk of dying.
The only variation in the combat was during the Gryphon fight, where you could use a bow.

I'm hoping there is more depth and challenge present in the final game - it looks great, but everything else about it is paper-thin.

[Kapoutman]

Started Super Meat Boy and Jamestown yesterday. Super Meat Boy is hardcore platforming, which is exactly my type of game. Jamestown is a bullet-hell shooter, which I usually don't like, but some of the guns in that game are so powerful that it just makes it fun to destroy everything in sight. Plus, the setting is pretty imaginative, and I really enjoy the retro graphics.

Probably gonna start Shank this week-end.

[Requiem]

Super Meat Boy is fantastic. Gets pretty fucking tough.

Resident Evil was neat. Co-op was fine. Didn't get into the DLC or versus modes but I bet those are great too. I skipped through most of the "files" you had to "investigate" which vomited 30 pages of character motivation at you and background info on just about everything in the game because I don't really care THAT much to read about it. It's nice it's there though I guess for those who do want that. It sure was convenient they flew over that volcano when they did.

Seems like PC is the best platform for Dungeon Defenders considering the amount of updates it gets. As I'm typing this, steam is downloading a DD patch. There must be at least 4 a week it seems. I wish there were more levels that weren't DLC (which I will probably buy eventually) because there aren't a lot of levels on there but I guess that's how they get you. I also kinda cheated by joining an experienced room in Glitterhelm and leveled up in like 20 mins which sucks the fun out of it a little bit. And when I did beat the game I was dicking around while Reqiuem was doing most of the work.

Working on: Magicka, Soul Calibur V, Dark Souls, Metal Gear Solid Collection

[RoXer]

So after I beat Magicka this week or next than it will be only Dark Souls and MLB:The Show until Borderlands 2 arrives.

Actually, I might try to finish Borderlands 1 with Req because we never got around to it. And I'm also going to start up Soul Calibur V at one point because between you and me, Drakul is getting much too full of himself. And I might pop in the MGS disc once on a weekend.

But really though, it's Dark Souls and The Show all summer long.

[RoXer]

Played a lot of good games this year.

Last year was shit.

[RP]

Might grab MLB The Show tommorow.

[Purgatory]

Minecraft 360 Edition, currently. Kind of addicted. :(

Diablo 3 starter edition, got a trial key from a gentleman on another forum. Not too impressed thus far, but maybe its one of those games that take time to grow on you.

[Kalyx triaD]

Just got a Wii.

[Emperor Smeat]

Playing Firefight on Halo Reach just to try to go after the scoring achievements. Love how customizable Firefight is in this game compared to ODST and being allowed to rig a match completely in my favor for these scoring achievements.

[Kalyx triaD]

Firefight is fun.

[Fignuts]

Just finished The Witcher 2. Kind of disappointed, tbh. Not that it's a bad game, but there was so much hype and great reviews, that I just went in expecting something better.

The story is good, but few of the characters really stand out. The choices in this game often have fairly large consequences, which is nice for multiple playthroughs.

One big problem I have is that where most games these hold your hand too much, this game doesn't tell you enough. So many times I had to complete a certain objective, and the game gives you no indication of where you're supposed to go, neither on the map or in the journal. Only option is to search every inch of the current town. Doesn't help that the map is absolute garbage.

Combat is okay I guess. I don't really care for not being able to use potions or other items in battle. Some missions you know what you'll be up against, so it's ok, but more often than not, there's no way to predict what type of fight you'll be in next, and the harder difficulties require that you use proper alchemic combos for certain fights. Which means you'll be dying quite a bit, for no other reason than you can't see the future. When things go well, however, combat can be fun.

Auto Save is horrendous at times. You pretty much have to rely on your own manual saves, if you don't want to lose a good 30-60 minutes of work.

The game world felt a bit underwhelming, as you only travel to three small towns, each with it's own small wilderness area around it. It's very linear, as once you're done with a town and leave, you can't go back. Very little to see and explore, which is very important in an RPG, at least to me. It's especially jarring, coming off of something like Skyrim.

Despite all my complaints, it was still fun overall. It's just not up to the hype, imo.

Playing Prototype 2 now, and it's more like Prototype 1.5. That said, it's still a blast, and it does come with a digital copy of the first game if you buy it at walmart, so that's nice. The new powers are pretty cool, especially bio bomb.

[James Diesel]

Games beaten in 2012:

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 (9.5/10)
Bit.Trip Runner (10/10)
UFC Undisputed 3 (7/10)
Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City

Ugh. Such a big disappointment, this game was. First off, I understand it's non-canon, but it could've been so much better. Just because the missions are long doesn't mean there should be so few of them. The controls were somewhat alright except the executions could've been more varied, shooting behind cover could've been better. In fact, just running around in general could've felt better. The whole thing felt fucking tedious to no end. There really was no variation in gameplay. Just shooting at waves of endless "zombies" modeled after 5 fucking designs, and a seemingly neverending squad of soldiers. And how they managed to dumb down a Tyrant.....sigh. The whole game felt like a throwaway, which is exactly what I did with it after 10 hours of play. Could've been a lot better (4/10)


Anyways, just picked up The Darkness II. Planning on enjoying the hell out of this game.

Absolutely loved this game. Everything was completely solid. Getting to play as a darkling was neat. Some of the new abilities were awesome, and of course, who doesn't love the various ways to rip apart someone's body. The only setback I saw was that the game felt a bit short. I'm sure the 3rd one will be just as great as the last 2 have been though. (9/10)

Played this game shin megami tensei nocturne and fell asleep

[Kalyx triaD]

Mario Kart Wii: It's Mario Kart through and through. Although I enjoy Diddy Kong Racing more (and Blur), I can dig Mario Kart for what it is. Online is pretty brutal to me, but fun.

Red Steel 2: I really dig this. Sword play is pretty much Wii Sports Resort's sword game, with added moves. Very responsive and stylish.

Skyward Sword: A pleasant game. Nice to sit back and just enjoy single player.

Resident Evil Darkside Chronicles: I needed a light gun game and this is it. House of the Dead with an RE fix. Tougher than I thought, though. The gun shell feels good. Do I really have to press A to pick stuff up or do I just shoot them again?

Wii Sports Resort: A cool time waster. Love the sword fighting and archery. Table Tennis seems kinda floaty.

[Ultra Mantis]

Played this game shin megami tensei nocturne and fell asleep

I just finished that. Very dungeon crawly. Last stage is horrible, huge tower with invisible floors / warp panels and random battles every 3 steps (and that was with repel).

[OssMan]

It is holding my attention so that's good. Very confusing kinda, feel like I am doing it wrong.

[Ultra Mantis]

Yeah that feeling never goes away even when you know what to exploit, all the skills have ridiculous names. Some of the bosses are pretty much impossible without the proper set up. One of the worst offenders is fairly early in too.

[OssMan]

Yeah oh my god. Everything has some Japanese name, like Magatsuhi, Maragarah, I don't even know.

[Ultra Mantis]

Its really easy to lose good skills in fusion because its so hard to remember what anything actually means.

[OssMan]

I'm afraid to fuse this pixie bitch with Myo-Gyo cause I like the pixie and don't wanna lost her

[Ultra Mantis]

You'll end up fusing everything eventually because all the demons level up so slowly compared to the PC. Pixie evolves once she learns all her skills though so she's pretty useful to keep for a good while.

[Fignuts]

Mario Kart Wii: It's Mario Kart through and through. Although I enjoy Diddy Kong Racing more (and Blur), I can dig Mario Kart for what it is.


Oh, for the love of god.


Fuck those pissant forest creatures. Fuck the clunky-ass controls. Fuck that ALA-KAZAM'ing genie. Fuck those stupid impossible bosses. Fuck ugly N64 graphics. And fuck not executing a turn exactly right and suddenly going from 1st to 8th place for the remainder of the race. I can put up with that kind of nonsense in Mario Kart since Wario, Koopa Troopa, Toad, and even Yoshi are all endearing, but I refuse to take that shit from the fucking Happy Tree Friends.

I hate Diddy Kong Racing.

[Kalyx triaD]

Sorry to hear that.

Just picked up Rayman Origins and my god it is 2d platforming bliss. Such a great game. Can't wait til my roomates get home so we can play together.

[Fignuts]

360.

There are just so many cool little touches. This game is an overlooked example of games as art.

When you get to the part in the water world where you are swimming with a school of fish, and a big stupid grin doesn't come across your face, well then you have no soul.

You'd think after 3 games they would fix the gunplay. It still sucks, but the story and graphics are still the best in the business.

I'm halfway through Valkyria Chronicles 2. I started playing Condemned 2: Bloodshot a little as well.

Who knows after that. Probably finally get to Persona 3 or some other JRPG; I have way too many of those in my backlog and I need to always be playing one of them if I ever expect to finish all of them.

[Ermaximus]

How was Condemned 2? I heard it was awful, but then again, the first one wasn't that great either. If you have a 360 and haven't already done so, play Lost Odyssey. That is one of the better JRPG's out there.

I actually enjoyed Condemned 1. Condemned 2 so far is more difficult than I expected. Not used to being as patient with the combat yet, and I'm getting caught off guard more than I expect to.

Lost Odyssey is in my backlog. I've beaten every Final Fantasy except XIII and XIII-2 (barring the MMOs), so it's pretty much up my alley.

I didn't care for FFXIII. It got far too boring and even the voice actors sounded like they didn't want to be there. I got to chapter 11, I think. The big open area with the big ass dinosaur looking monsters and said fuck this.

LO is well worth a play. Easily over 100 hours of play, unlike X Blades, which I'm playing now. Totally easier than I thought it was. Shame I didn't finish it back in 2009 when it came out. :roll:

There was an unnecessarily long install, 3D mode was bad, weird textures, glitches where the AI partners would be stuck in an area where they need to be at a door to unlock it, dumb AI partners in general as none of them killed anyone, when I would click the LS it would toss a grenade for no reason maybe 20% of the time and I never tried online mode because a pass is needed. It's a fine shooter I guess, I'm just sick of playing shooters so when little things like that start to add up is when a decent game becomes average to bad. This one is somewhere in the average to bad scale.

Finished Resident Evil Operation Raccoon City on XBOX. It's like Left 4 Dead in a 3rd person view...

Beat Brutal Legend, and I enjoyed it.

It has a likeable cast of characters, excellent art direction, a compelling narrative, the gameplay is intuitive and fun, and the voice acting is tops across the board.

I was off-put by the mix of hack-and-slash with RTS at first, but it became second nature pretty quickly thanks to the control scheme.

If I had to find a major fault with Brutal Legend, it would be that it's rather easy.

The final boss in particular is a cakewalk, and there really isn't a penalty for dying...also, for a game that was driven so much by character interaction and an grand mythic story, the ending was a bit too brief and felt hollow to me.

In addition, you're given a pretty large world to explore, but there isn't much to do in it.
You have your main quests, and side quests, but the side quests vary between 3-4 different types which all play largely the same.
Outside of that you can go on the standard scavenger hunt for various relics and monuments, but the rewards provided for finding them aren't worth the trouble and time used for searching them out.

That aside, I really did enjoy the game.
The combat is fun, the story engaging, I totally loved the artistic direction (particularly in the Black Metal region) and I found myself laughing on many occasions because the game can be genuinely funny at times.

If you haven't played it, I recommend giving it a try, as it can be had very cheaply (got my copy from newegg.com for $5) especially if you're a metal head, or if you just want a light, fun game to play without having to worry about it whipping your ass without mercy.

[Raven Reaper]

Mass Effect 3... This is totally right up there alongside Halo only better!

[whiteyford]

Lego Batman 2, dunno not as good as the 1st i dont think.

[DaveBrawl]

That's very disappointing to hear. I was looking forward to that.

[whiteyford]

Its still worth getting, you get to play as the Justice League etc., just seems a bit funny now that they speak. Think Hasney said it in another thread but its lost a little of its charm because of it.

[DaveBrawl]

I'm still in if I can bust things up with the Green Lantern.

Is the character creator deal in again? Kind of sucks in the first one that you had to beat the thing twice before you unlocked everything. I wanted to play as Azreal, but didn't see the point after beating the whole game twice already.:(

[whiteyford]

You get an achievement for defeating Sinestro with Lantern/Zod with Superman. Yeah think so,its in the Batcave, not sure if you have to complete the story first to unlock it though. You're actually running around Gotham between levels, all the non story specific characters are there for you to unlock like the Pirates game, you need Superman to open up parts of the city/flash/lantern to build things.

After owning the game for years, finally got around to finishing it since all I had left was the final boss fight. Either became preoccupied with other games or just forgot to bother finishing it a lot of times.


Main games Currently Playing:
Metroid Prime 3
Portal 2

[ClockShot]

I got back into Old Republic. God, what fun game. I also picked up Final Fantasy 10 and I'm hooked on that. Except for Blitzball. Concept is great, but needs to be executed diferently. I suck at math.

Urgh. Hate Blitzball. One of the reasons I havent finished FF10 yet...

[Ultra Mantis]

You dont have to win a single match of Blitzball to finish FFX.

[OssMan]

Blitzball was easy as shit all you need is Sphere Shot

[ClockShot]

Yeah, and you gotta play some to get Wakka's super weapon I think?

[Pintint]

[Ultra Mantis]

Yeah, and you gotta play some to get Wakka's super weapon I think?

If you want to unlock all of his Overdrives and his ultimate weapon you'll have to play a lot of Blitzball. You dont NEED any of them but they will help with Dark Aeons / Arena bosses if you're going after them. Just sign a good goalkeeper (ie. the guy on the bench at Moonflow) and sphere shot / jecht shot the shit out of everything.

I don't care. The dialogue from the characters was incredibly verbose in describing who they are and where they're from and where they're going in the Tolkienism of being described as "Gydneyelsdij of Fryreshuierh" and "Havelkernp from Flendermore" and after a while my head started to hurt and I just didn't give a fuck.

Combat isn't great. The AI teammates aren't spectacular. The camera is bad.

I beat the first chapter and now I'm sending it out. Waste of time.

There is a chance I'll bump Trine 2 up to a 9 if I'm blown away by the multiplayer. Excellent game.

[DAMN iNATOR]

I've gone back to owning and now, once again playing, The Elder Scrolls IV: OBLIVION Game of the Year Edition. Can't believe it's been like 5 years since it came out. Best main story of the entire series to date, IMHO, but who knows? If they ever do TES VI, maybe it will actually be compelling instead of MEH like TES V was (in the sense of the storyline, not the overall experience).

I saw a bunch of the co-op games I haven't beaten a few days ago that have been in my steam library for ages and thought I might try to beat them but fuck it. They're fine games but there are finer games out there. Magicka is pretty great but I'm not so hot with m+k and the controller config is a bit weird. Jamestown is good too but I don't like how the campaign is laid out. Lack of online co-op too. Great soundtrack though.

Might try to dive into some of these HIB games that I've never gotten around to.

Sleeping Dogs - Good game, liked the story and driving around Hong Kong. Combat was kinda slow tho, and while driving around Hong Kong was nice, I would've liked a better fast travel feature.

Transformers: Fall of Cybertron: Might just be me loving Transformers, but the only complaint personally that I have is not being able to play Grimlock till the second to last chapter of the game :(

Felt a lot shorter overall than the only other handheld Castlevania I ever played (Harmony of Dissonance) but not as confusing to get around besides 2 spots. The souls system works out great but the use of magic seals to end boss fights became frustrating once the seals got more complex.

Probably going to get around to beating Portal 2 and replay Majora's Mask as my main games for now. Currently on a hiatus with Metroid Prime 3.

Was so hard, took me forever, got the shittiest ending, nothing happened. Have to spent 20 more hours beating the optional dungeon I guess

[Ultra Mantis]

I ended up with the "Human" ending because all three reasons are batshit insane. The endings all suck except True Demon. Fuck that optional dungeon though. Damage floors everwhere, random boss level enemies every five steps, random warps, hardest three bosses in the game. You can't even win against the last boss unless you specifically clone a party with a specific skill from a monster that costs an insane ammount of macca. I pretty much gave up on that as soon as I beat Dante.

Red Dead Redemption, been developing a fan theory for it.

The demon ending? Where they're just like yo... you're a demon, that's about it, alright. That's the one I got. I felt the same way about all three of the reasons. I got to the third kalpa of the labyrinth and I don't think I ever got past the part where Dante chases you around and shoots at you. What level were you in when you finished? My main dude was in 85, then the others were like 80-84.

Also I somehow fused the Fiend Trumpeter towards the end of the game, and the last skill that he learned was a move that instantly killed the enemy with the lowest HP percentage, even if they were at 100%. It was so helpful in that fucking final dungeon.

[OssMan]

I think I'm gonna try to finish the labyrinth because of that one move, and I also got a Chakra Elixir which seems to be a never ending MP rejuvenator, so why not

[OssMan]

I actually wanted to realize the reason of the Manikins

True demon is what you get for finishing the kalpas. Regular Demon is the worst ending, but the reason endings are all generally underwhelming too since they dont actually show you anything of the new world. My demi-fiend was about 74 I think, Kagutsuchi took me forever because I was using mainly phys-null demons and relying on Daisoujou to heal me every turn. Luckily my party had all the buffs / debuffs so i didn't get absolutely murdered. Must have been in that battle for 40 mins at least though.

[Ultra Mantis]

I actually wanted to realize the reason of the Manikins

That would have been a cool option, that part in the promised land was absolutely brutal. All the real humans were such dickheads.

[OssMan]

I didn't even get to face Kagatsuchi. It just told me that the world can't be created by a demon and then it went to credits. The longest fight I remember was Noah, Isamu's god who kept changing his resistance. I got the hang of it after a while but he had so much HP.

[Pintint]

Resident Evil Twooooooo

[OssMan]

I think I'm gonna try to finish the labyrinth because of that one move, and I also got a Chakra Elixir which seems to be a never ending MP rejuvenator, so why not
What a bunch of bullshit, you can't progress in the labyrinth after you create the Tower of Kagatsuchi. So I beat Dante in the third kalpa and then literally was stuck there with no way to progress nor return to the vortex world. Couldn't even watch the peephole scene.

[El Fangel]

Sold Modern Warfare 3, bought Fallout: New Vegas.

Pretty excited for that.

The Last Story

[OssMan]

Future criteria for playing "current gen" RPG that most modern games do which makes me hate them:

- Battle systems that require more than 30 seconds of tutorials
- Massive towns that you get thrust into and have all different types of stores
- Complex equipment upgrading systems

I can't deal with these. I just started playing The Last Story and it's guilty of all three. The only games I ever settle down with are ones that pretty much need no explanation.

[Ultra Mantis]

What a bunch of bullshit, you can't progress in the labyrinth after you create the Tower of Kagatsuchi. So I beat Dante in the third kalpa and then literally was stuck there with no way to progress nor return to the vortex world. Couldn't even watch the peephole scene.

Ouch. I made a backup save before I summoned it just in case I ever felt like taking on the last two kalpas / finishing the Jack Frost minigame. Wouldn't want to go through the entire thing again.

Surprising, considering FF 9 and 10 were great. Haven't played 12 though...
But this barely feels like a FF game so far...

[Ultra Mantis]

It never feels like a Final Fantasy game and if you don't care for the story / characters then you probably won't like it at all. I didn't think it was horrible but it's not even comparable to anything from FF6-10.

[Pintint]

hehe, good thing I waited until it was 19.99 to buy it then.

[El Fangel]

Haven't played anything since the first 10 mins of FFX-2

[El Fangel]

Since this seems to be the general discussion thread, Is a playthrough of Fallout 3 needed before New Vegas to understand the story.

[Ultra Mantis]

Nah, it's a completely seperate story. There's a few minor references to the previous games in various sidequests but thats about it.

[El Fangel]

Thought as much, Thanks.
