Punch Ass-Pie Kalyx.

That one's worth tracking, but probably not threadworthy yet.

That game looks pretty awesome. I love those quirky kind of platformers/puzzlers. :)

That was weird as shit. Looks like a good version of a lot of weird ass Wii shovelware.

Well I got Mass Effect 2 and Red Dead at launch and still haven't finished them. :shifty:

Great, only a few more playthroughs and all the DLC until you're absolutely 100% done.

Took me 40 hours. I wanted to take my time with it, hence having it almost a year and only just finishing it.
Gonna start again in a few days with a new character and choose differently.
Just trying to think of ways that they'll tie some things into Dragon Age 2.
Like the Morrigan globe trotter thing

Yeah, hoping it's good.

It also looks like Super Mario Galaxy's premise on LSD.

I haven't finished ME2 or DAO and got them at launch. They bore me. I know Requiem will want to take me hostage and saw my head off on al jazeera in the name of Bioware, but ME2 took most of the fun out of ME. And Dragon Age...I like the strategy but it just got fucking tedious.

The conversations are the only similarity.

What "fun" was taken out of ME 2? Not trying to flame, just a genuine question.

I liked the changes to the armor and weapons, as it means I no longer have to wade through heaps and heaps of useless inventory.

Between that and the skills changes, I can see why the rpg nuts would be upset, as it does overly simplify things, but the rpg elements were never the main draw for me.

Planet mining is more tedious than exploring with the mako, but you only really have to do enough of it to get your upgrades. And I like the trade off of less N7 missions but with more variety.

Yes, but a lot of what drew me in was that it was a hybrid shooter/RPG. When you streamline the RPG out, it's a fairly standard shooter. Inventory was kind of the least of my concerns, but taking out skills kind of made builds boring. It also reduced variety. I can see why they revised the "ammo" system, but it was dumb. This story was less engaging, which is a shame because it was somewhat more original than the first. If they were going to take out so much, they could have at least given us more kewl powerz. Or something.

Planet mining is a lot better now, they patched it and it's a lot faster.

One thing I will say, is that despite the story being pretty good, it doesn't advance the overall plot at all.

it sounds like you were more into the whole 'loot' thing, which was completely removed from ME2. The skills were still there, and very important if you played on a certain difficulty (NO way could you beat it on insanity with Warp/biotics).

It wasnt a JRPG, thats for sure...but i dont think you should be expecting that from a north american company.

Just bought Worms 3D (Xbox) for £1.99 online. I had it for the Ps2 when it first came out but, for some reason, my Ps2 hated certains games and the music would just jump and skip and, a lot of the time, the game just died on the loading screen. It wouldn't even read some discs at all.

Anyway, I looked online and it's compatible with the 360 so I can finally play it without random freezing. Although I bought Munch's Oddysee a few weeks ago because it was "compatible" and that was a let down. Yeah, it "worked" but the speech was completely inauidible which makes an Oddworld game unplayable.

My PS3 just gave me the YLOD and the flashing red lights. :(

Went to Sony website and requested a service. They offered me a new PS3 slim for the price of the repair ($150) including shipping so I took it. It's not backward compatible like my old one was but oh well I hardly play my ps2 games anyways.

Of course, I never expected it to be a JRPG. Weird how that works. Skills were stripped down, but whatever. The important thing is we've established a Bioware game is not a JRPG.

Bioshock 100%

I think Bioshock would bore BDC.

I know people are gonna be all "haters gonna hate," But I talk to him pretty frequently.

Just Cause is fun and really cheap. The sequel is probably also fun, especially based on the demo.

Do you have Saints Row 2 Yet, Becker? I can co-op with you even.

SR2 is pretty badass.

I hear it sucks.

Saints Row 2 is awesome, though the first is better IMO

Yeah I beat Mass Erect, and I've been meaning to get #2.

Do it then, bro. You'll definitely get your money's worth out of Mass Effect 2, given the different story options and such.

Mass Effect 2 is only like 30 bucks now, at least in Canuckistan.

Well, I wish you well. Just thought of this now. If you buy Mass Effect, but it new. It comes with the ''Cerberus Network'', which you otherwise have to pay for. You get some free DLC and such with it, it's pretty cool.

The Cerberus Network is $10 though, so if you can get a second hand one for more than $10 off the new price, get the second hand one.

THQ developing Red Faction: Battlegrounds as a PSN/XBLA downloadable game. Unlike the previous Red Faction games, this one is set to be vehicle-combat based with a top-down perspective.

Cerberus Network is a joke tho, innit? There's no much DLC that isn't pay.
