What are you playing right now? II -

Crysis 2

Started hard difficulty playthrough and playing some multiplayer. Some of the unlocks in the multiplayer are just fucking ridiculous, game modes are unlocked after fucking hours of play. It also seems the Call of Duty crowd got to it, and camping with cloak is terrible. I usually cycle through games until I find a group not doing that shit.

Just now? When I tried the MP beta there were already many campers.

I knew that. I just thought it was particularly in-tune with FFIX specifically.

Oh right. I assumed it didn't have opening credits. >.>

I'm gonna get it on Monday, I'm sure it'll keep me occupied for a month or so.

Dynamithix · #**1354** 04-08-2011, 08:17 AM

Fucking shit, I just tried playing Team Fortress 2 for the first time in almost 2 years and it's changed so much. WTF, you can literally buy hats? 15€ for a fucking fedora? The hell?!

And is it possible to trade with other players now or what? I also saw that really expensive Japan charity hat or whatever.

I don't know what I'm supposed to do in that crafting thing either, I have 2 scrap metal and some guns, that's it! Gosh, TF2 is so weird now. Back in '08 it was fun as hell when playing as the sniper in custom maps, now I'm just surrounded by freaky looking soldiers and heavies with golden miniguns and afro-hats.

If you liked Blue Dragon, give Lost Odyssey a go. It's got characters who are actually well-written, beautiful graphics, and a story that will make you cry. Plus all the usual combat and stuff. It's just very well-made, beautiful soundtrack too.

He's nearly finished it :P

I fucking loved Lost Odyssey though, I'd say it was better than the FF series and as you mentioned the soundtrack was absolutely orgasmic.

STM · #**1356** 04-08-2011, 09:48 AM

I got Amnesia Dark Descent and I love the atmosphere, its pretty jumpy, didn't think it would be scary but hey what a surprise, yet to see the shadow though.

Wings of Fire · #**1357** 04-08-2011, 10:31 AM

My favourite part of Lost Odyssey was the visual novel bits. The story was so meh.

OANST · #**1358** 04-08-2011, 10:49 AM

My favorite part of Lost Odyssey was the story. I hated the story.

Playing Fable II, just finished the tattered spire. I resisted all of the commandante commands and lost my Level 4 Inferno, which was expensive. Later on, I went to eat dinner and my friend Aaron spent about an hour grinding the basic jobs which got me 50,000 GOLD that I used to create a housing monopoly in Bowerstone. Economy eat your heart out, you stinking butthole.

Ha, I've never lost any actual abilities, but then, the only spell I bother with is level 1 Time control, for the teleport. Apart from having the foresight and charm to outsource your grinding to an actual person, which is impressive, that's the hard way to get your real estate monopoly. The trick is to use naturally acquired gold to buy the stalls, then the caravans, the cheap houses and so on, working your way up purely on rent money while you play the actual game parts of the game.

Trading is initiated by going to the main menu, clicking 'Manage items' and selecting trading, which is the rightmost icon at the bottom of the screen.

Dynamithix · #**1361** 04-08-2011, 12:54 PM

Thanks, but I think I'm going to stop playing TF2 for now, way too complicated.

In terms of Gameplay, it hasn't changed that much since it first came out, they've only added stuff.

Manco · #**1363** 04-08-2011, 04:16 PM

"It hasn't changed much, they just added things"

Anyway, I played through Portal today to show it off to a couple of friends. They spent the entire time complaining about it.

I guess it's not a social game.

Dixanadu · #**1364** 04-08-2011, 05:17 PM

I watched Ridg3 complete it in just under an hour.

Fuck, that cunt loves to gloat.

Ridg3 · #**1365** 04-08-2011, 05:18 PM

Not even my best time either I believe.

Gwan-Thwei · #**1366** 04-08-2011, 05:27 PM

I just got a copy of Silent Hill 2.
This.
Game.
Sucks.
Balls.
The story so far sucks, and the way you move the person sucks, and how you have to observe everything to get to the next area sucks.
Demons aren't half bad though. Adn the graphics are decent. I don't know, what do you guys think about Silent Hill games?

You're doing it again.

Okayish. I remember a game I played on the Xbox, ObsCure. It put itself apart from Resi/S-Hill horrors and was pretty good and damn scary at times.

Only drawback was it was very short. 3-4 hours, give or take.

Wings of Fire · #**1368** 04-08-2011, 08:17 PM

You've been playing the wrong ones, my friend.

Dynamithix · #**1370** 04-09-2011, 01:17 AM

I remember trying Silent Hill: Home-something, I can't remember, but I thought it was pretty shitty. The older Silent Hills were pretty scary though.

Wings of Fire · #**1371** 04-09-2011, 04:04 AM

Yeah, anything after 3 isn't a real Silent Hill game.

2>1>3>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Everything else

Ridg3 · #**1372** 04-09-2011, 05:28 AM

I've never played any of the Silent Hill games at all, should I start with 2 or 1? Is it a continuous story?

Wings of Fire · #**1373** 04-09-2011, 05:43 AM

1 and 3 follow the same continuity, 2 is a side story.

2 is a must play, but 1 and 3 are also really really great.

Dynamithix · #**1374** 04-09-2011, 06:29 AM

Is 4 any good? (Or whatever it's called. Was it 'The Room' or something?)

OANST · #**1375** 04-09-2011, 06:46 AM

Someone hasn't been paying attention.

Disgruntled Intern · #**1376** 04-09-2011, 07:00 AM

I liked The Room. It wasn't as good as the rest, but still enjoyable. And fairly creepy.

Homecoming for the 360 is a total turd, though. Don't even think about that one.

Wings of Fire · #**1377** 04-09-2011, 07:01 AM

4 has some genuinely good moments, and a lot of quite clever ideas but ultimately bad pacing, difficulty and repetition kill it.

The second half of the game being the first half chased by an invincible pistol wielding freak with mommy issues is a good idea in principle but....

OANST · #**1378** 04-09-2011, 07:14 AM

No. You said it was bad.

Wings of Fire · #**1379** 04-09-2011, 08:47 AM

It is bad.

But it could have been good.

Crashpunk · #**1380** 04-09-2011, 08:53 AM

Played Time Splitters 2 last night.

Its fucking amazing, brings back good memories however I don't remember it being so fricking hard to controll!
