Been playing Tombi, I got 1 and 2 on PSx. I also downloaded Hogs of War. ARRRRR!!!

Hogs of War is great.

I played some Burnout 3 with my dad yesterday. Damn fun.

Minecraft 360 edition. I like it. A lot.

How does it compare to the PC version? I liked that one.

I never played the pc version, so I really couldn't tell you,

The only game my dad and I played together was Tekken 2 back in 1999.

That fucked him off. He doesn't like losing.

I think that's the reason why he never plays games anymore. I did catch him playing FIFA on my Xbox last year. That was...surprising.

Portal 2, World of Tanks, Mass Effect 3 Multiplayer, Tiny Tower, Dragonball Z Harukanaru Densetsu, Advance Wars: Dark Conflict

I've been playing a awful lot of Fallout New Vegas. I've just reached level 10 and I have a sinper fella called Boone as a partner. He kills everything for me :)

Street Fighter IV. Nothing else. Finally mastered Akuma. Fuck yeah. FEEL THE WRATH OF THE RAGING DEMON!

Does anyone here play Street Fighter or am I pretty much the only one?

I tried playing SF4. I hated it.

It has a very steep learning curve. I personally think it's the best game this generation. At least, for multiplayer.

I've played Street Fighter 2 which I though was brilliant. (who doesn't like ST2?) and I also have the Street Fighter Alpha Anthology on PS2 which is a good little collection of games but to be honest, are all the same.

I'm not saying it's bad but that's the problem is with Street Fighter and fighting games in general, It's just the same game over and over again. That and I'm also terrible at them.

Only Smash Bros has really taken my interest.

Most fighting games can be like that, agreed. But with Street Fighter I find Capcom always finds a way to make their games different. They tweak them so subtly that you still feel like you're playing Street Fighter but it still feels fresh and original.

And I have Street Fighter Alpha 3 on my PS3, I really like it but the fact that I have to use the d-pad annoys me. It also leaves my thumb feeling like it just went through a blender. And yeah, they are all pretty much the same game, only with more characters in each version. I think the only core difference is that there's an extended storyline that arcs throughout the three games, but really, who cares about story in fighting games?

I'm playing Resident Evil 4: HD. Using a an HDMI cable it looks great. The graphics have aged a little bit but everything is a little clearer and the resolution is very uhh...crisp. My only gripe with the graphics update is that the brightness seems a little high by default (I vaguely remember RE4 on the GameCube letting you adjust the brightness upon starting a new game), but that can be easily fixed through the options. It plays completely the same. Only difference being the PS3 controller is set up minutely differently than a WiiMote or GCN.

Unfortunately the sound has suffered a LOT in the port from Wii to PS3/360. A lot of the sounds are needlessly gritty and hollow. Like some small man just off screen is using a boombox full of sound effects to give help with the atmosphere. Some small hairy man.
It doesn't adversely effect anything, just takes you a little out of the atmosphere.

Also, the square button on my controller sticks so all the parts where you have to button mash to ESCAPE THE BOULDER take like 3 tries.

Worth buying, obviously. Comes with all of the addons from the previous releases of RE4 so it's worth your time.

Sonic CD for Android. I already own and have completed the original Sega CD/Sega Mega CD version but I was curious to learn about this new port which if I am correct, is essentially exactly the same on all it's platforms it has been released on (XBLA, PSN, iOS, Android). After paying for the game on Google Play, I was met with confusion, as the file was only 88KB big.

After opening the game, it said that it needed to download extra files to run, well, why in the hell didn't it just download them all in the first place? Getting the files was a nightmare, first, it took forever to download, now my phone is set to lock itself after 1 minute if inactivity, problem is, when the phone locked, it would need to start the ridiculously long download again! So I set the lock time to the maximum settings which is 10 minutes and just kept pressing buttons on my phone to stop it locking!

So finally, I got the files, and this port is actually way better than the original Sega CD release, the graphics look gorgeous and now the special stages have no frame rate issues like it did originally. There are also some great extras like changing the music between the Japanese/Europe and US versions (in my opinion the Japanese/Europe is the best). Tails is even an unlockable character which was a feature not eve present in the original, controls feel great to and are very simple.

Overall, a port that's better than the original release in many ways, oh, and of course, it is THE best Sonic game ever made.

Wasn't Sonic CD the only good game on the Sega CD?

Oh and on Fallout New Vegas, I wondered into Vault 34 and got absolutely destroyed by Feral ghouls. :/

I believe that the Android Market (I refuse to call it by its new name) has a limit on filesizes for apps. Games that require large resources get around that rule by providing a small apk and forcing you to download a large file from the publisher's servers.

That is some super-shitty coding right there.

Is New Vegas worth getting if I finished the main quest in Fallout 3?

Night Trap is a classic! :fuzgrin:

They're different games.

If you enjoyed FO3 you'll probably like NV.

NV is slightly better than FO3.

I finished playing Final Fantasy VI (now one of my favourite games) and have started playing Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning. So far I'm really enjoying it. It's like a far better version of Fable 2 and 3, with elements of The Elder Scrolls blended in.

I liked the way you had more control over the story, but I think the world felt really empty compared to FO3. I just enjoyed myself in FO3 more, too. I don't know what it was about the world, but it just felt more exciting.

NV did have lots of cool new stuff, though. I really need to give it another go, as I never actually finished it.

I felt that FO3 was the empty one – in FO3, the main story quest was kind of the only really interesting thing going, and vast swathes of the map were useless (how many enterable buildings were there in D.C.?).

In New Vegas, I got sidetracked by side missions for weeks, and the world map felt much less empty – towns and outposts all over the place, and much more evenly spread.

But what was actually in all of those extra places? I discovered whole locations that were devoid of anything interesting in NV, whereas in FO3 everything was something, even if it was only one chest with a very hard lock.

Well for a start, pretty much every settlement in NV had at least one trader. In FO3, it was only some of the larger settlements like Rivet City and Megaton that had that kind of stuff. Most places were tied to quests, too, even if they were just small sidetracks.

There’s plenty of interesting stuff throughout the Mojave, too – even little abandoned shacks have a smattering of supplies, bigger buildings were usually tied in to sidequests and had some rare items and/or enemies in them, and wide open outdoors-y areas were usually battlegrounds.

I never found a place in NV that had nothing in it.

I've never played FO3 but what i've heard it's just as good as NV. I'll buy in when it's on offer :)

Eh, I guess I need to play it some more. Most of my experience with the game comes from watching my mom play it.

Personally I preferred FO3, I thought the environment and story were much better.

I'm busy making chambers in Portal 2, learning to use Hammer so I can make even more awesome chambers and replaying single player to get inspiration and look at the artistic design of the facility.

I'm playing Silent Hill 2. The logic of which objects you can inspect, and the shit sucking camera pretty much ruins the experience for me. I have not been even slightly creeped out. Instead, I have been mostly irritated.

Diablo III

It's really good. Feels a lot like the old games but with enough changes to keep it fresh. I've only played as the Demon Hunter class and it's great so far.

Yeah. It's Diablo. It's pretty awesome. Go get it. But not until Blizzard gets their damned servers working.

Quake Live duels. Lots of them.

Every one makes me want to curl up into a ball and cry. I'm so bad at it. It brings out everything I hate about myself. I can't keep track of items, I panic under pressure and I'm just generally a stupid shit. People that were at my skill level 2 months ago are now much, much better than me to the point where they don't want to play me anymore. No one wants to play me and I'm getting a reputation for being shit, making it harder for me to get games/improve.

But I'm determined to learn.

Lost Planet.

Well get it back.

hey let me add you, wanna start playing again
or you can add me, my name's verymadmax

This is my page on qlranks. I'm #69347 in the world.

I bought Diablo 3 today. It feels very nice to play. I'm 60 minutes into the first act with my level 6 monk and I haven't really been challenged yet. The monk seems to be more of a tank than I'd anticipated. It should be good to jump online once I get a bit more of a feel for it.

I'm a bit annoyed that it requires you to be online all of the time, though. Especially when it tells you the servers are full and puts you in a queue to play.

Diablo 3 is very fun indeed. Having only played a few hours of it, I can't fully post my opinion, but I agree with you about the difficulty, I didn't feel challenged at all, even during one of the big scary bosses. Then again, I was with a friend who was a monk, so maybe he just did all the tanking, like you suggested. My guy (girl) is a Demon Hunter, so I mostly play support.

And yeah, I hate always being online. I got the game on opening night with my cousin and we were up til 3 trying to get online. No luck. We got on the next day, but only for a few hours.

From what I gather on the forums Normal is a bit of a joke. It seems the real game starts on Hell.

I'm probably going to try and find some people to blast through Act 2 with later today, as I don't have any friends with the game. I'll get my foot in the door with some newer people who I can fly through Normal with.

I'd join you but I'm currently without a laptop charger. When I get a new one, we'll have to put together an OWF Diablo 3 party.

Who else has Diablo 3 here, anyway?
