I know your pain, I relied on a friend to help me get past some parts.

I don't think I would have patience to beat the game without runner vision but I am working on the achievement for beating the game without firing a bullet.

That is AMAZING. Kudos.
Back to Silver at the moment. I definitely owe you and DI some XBL time, though. Should snag another gold card within the month.

Mirrors Edge is a fun game. Its also a very hard game that makes me cry with rage,
A bit like what Super Meat Boy, BIT.TRIP Runner and VVVVVV does to me.

I finished Alice. That's one of the trippiest games I've ever played. But bloody wonderful.

But not this time.

Deus Ex represents a worrying trend of preorder bonuses that ought to be in the game anyway.

After I played don't take it personally, babe and read Neuromancer, the next logical step was to play Digital: A Love Story.

The plot was nice, the soundtrack was good, and it did interesting things with the format. Plus the character of a guy sitting at his computer getting bored was automatically the most immersive player role I'd ever experienced.

So yeah. Near-classic, I guess. WoF might like it, I dunno. Pilot wouldn't. Its representation of the '80s isn't pedantic enough.

So, I tried out VVVVVV. Time played: 10min, Deaths: 67.

Yeah.

Does that imply you're giving up? Also, prepare to die a lot more, but it never gets frustrating.

i finished the two level demo of it.

i believe I had a total of about 100 deaths O_O

I just beat the Veni Vidi Vici run in VVVVVV. I feel awesome.

Definitely not going to give up on VVVVVV. It's a really good game in my opinion, just kind of hard.

It's not particularly hard. The only really tough tokens are Veni Vidi Vici, Prize for the Reckless (there should be spikes here) and Edge Games. Those can take a few grindy hours each.

Oh, yeah. The speedruns are fairly absurd.

I was responding to an 'in-general' question, though.

FFFFFUUUUUUU-

I've been playing VVVVVV (Gosh, I hate spelling that.) for a good 30 minutes trying to get that one stupid token thing. It's the Veni Vidi Vici part. Oh god, it's so hard.

Harder than Super Meat Boy? 'Cause that was hard.

Probably not. I've seen some of the Cotton Factory levels of SMB. Damn.

Yeah, that's the only world I can't finish. Too damn hard.

Try for 20 minutes each day for a week and you should get it. Also make sure you're relaxed and that you don't freak out about getting it until you've hit it. I died on the last screen a few times.

I've been thinking about buying the Quakecon2011 pack
It contains all the Doom, Quake and Fallout games plus a lot more.

For the whole pack, its good value.

I've just started playing Super Meat Boy.








:compmad:

Thats how I feel about Limbo and Trials HD.

On Trials I just cannot beat "Inferno II" I keep running out of time and it's really anoying because it is the only race I have left to finish in the game.

I just downloaded Limbo about an hour ago.
I got to the part with the water crate, and about 10 minutes later I figured it out. This isn't gonna be fun, is it?
:(

10 minutes, damn? I personally didn't like Limbo, too much hipster shit and not enough game.

it's frustrating as hell although completely satisfying when you finish a puzzle :3

I'm playing VVVVVV a lot now and I've now saved 3 guys. Well, almost, I have to escort the Blue guy. It's really good.

Just completed Dragon Age II.

I found it quite good story wise and how I pretty much fucked up the known world.

One thing I didn't like was the recycled environments, I assumed BioWare had gotten over that considering that was Mass Effect's problem, but... I guess it was fine.

The High Dragon fight was pretty hard, but also enjoyable. Being a mage is a massive improvement from the first.

I know I'm goona get flammed for this one, but after finally playing Splosion Man I have to say I don't like it. I find the gameplay gets boring quickly and the character is extremly anoying!

How in the shit can a game have too much "hipster shit"? What does that even mean?

Were there too many coffee shops and Macs in Limbo? I only played the demo, maybe I missed something.

Limbo did have some very frustrating moments, but I found it to be an amazing game.

I briefly played this Simpsons arcade game this afternoon. Total early '90s nostalgia moment for me.

I love that game?

It never actually got ported though did it?

Shame :(

Yeah, they were pretty rushed by EA who wanted to capitalize on a good thing, but they still delivered a really vibrant world and story.

But god fuck I want to know what's going on with lyrium idols and old gods and shit man

That's bad stuff right there.

Anybody else get the feeling that Need For Speed has turned into Guitar hero? Pumping out a new game every 2 minutes?

Goodness me I remember when I picked up Hot Pursuit 2010 on release day, before you could play the game you had to watch the trailer for Shift 2.

So I bought the latest game at the time on release day just to be forced to watch the trailer for the next game in series...

I decided to just dick around in Dead Risiing 2 until I'm MAXIMUM CHUCK. This means losing my innocence and zombifying my daughter. Just like real life.

I'm playing Saints Row 2. Just beat the Brotherhood leader, Maero. Goddamn this game is good. I bought it a year ago, but I didn't really get into it, now I'm loving it. Also, I'll possibly pre-order Saints Row: The Third too.

I love Saints Row 2, but the online sucks apart from co-op.

There's multiplayer? Didn't even know. Well, didn't even care.

Competitive is accessed from the main menu and co-op is accessed from the pause menu when playing the game.

I'm playing Final Fantasy VII after not playing it for 1.5 years due to me having no clue what to do. I'm starting to make some progress now, having just recruited Vincent and encountering Yuffie (only to have her run away-twice), and am looking for the keystone. Really good game, but I didn't have that one fucking part spoiled for me (and everyone else who visits the internet). You know what I'm talking about.

I should probably stop starting games and not finishing them, but to be fair, I did start this one a long while ago.

Completed Motorstorm Arctic Egde today, it was one hell of a frustrating game at times but I loved it!

I just find it silly that you unlock most of the drivers and vehicle paints when you complete the game.

Oh, btw, an add to the SR2 post I made earlier - The multiplayer fucking sucks. I tried to play it, but everyone rushes to you and uses the shotgun, everyone in the match used that one shotgun. Definitely wasn't fun in anyway.
