I own a TOTALLY AUTHORZED AO guide book that came with a little CD!

Daxter King 09-22-2009 09:19 PM

Halo ODST, so good.

Mac Sirloin 09-23-2009 12:17 PM

I'll believe it when the demo comes out. It certainly SOUNDS like a lot that I like in a game, but it doesn't change the fact that 2 and 3 were letdowns.

AlexFili 09-23-2009 01:06 PM

Stranger's Wrath - Which is just awesome
Star Wars KOTR2 - Which is okay, but I get stuck easily
Halo 2 - Which is pretty darned awesome, can't wait to be Arbiter!

I don't think 2 was a letdown, introducing a new playablle character amoung other things like better graphics and new weapons, plus the ability to hijack enemy vehicles, but 3 certainly was a huge letdown. You'd think they'd let us see his fucking face at least.

AlexFili 09-23-2009 03:32 PM

Yeah, plus taking out the Arbiter sections was a bit harsh.

No demo, I'd rent it if you're hesitant. Campaign is the best in the series and Firefight is Horde x Over 9000.

Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 and Spore.

MeechMunchie 09-24-2009 03:14 AM

Spore was the greatest dissapointment in gaming I have ever known. I followed that game's progress for four fucking years, and every time it's ETA came within sight, it slipped a season or two ahead. I read the news and saw it lose much of it's awesome potential, and now we're stuck with a good game, rather than the fantastic one it could have been. Maybe I'm just bitter.

Still fun though.

Thinking about tyring out The Path on my laptop. Think it'll work?

Daxter King 09-24-2009 09:07 PM

Brutal Legend demo.

Disappointed really, was expecting it to be better than this.

Phylum 09-25-2009 01:03 AM

Jade cocoon 2 again, because it's awesomely awesome and quake 2 on hard (still) which I have very nearly finished. And Quake Live at every chance I get

You only get to play the opening in the demo. There is so much more to the game.

MeechMunchie 09-25-2009 08:33 AM

Dawn of War unexpanded again. I couldn't remember if the campaign was as shit as everybody says it was or not. It's alright, actually.

Mac Sirloin 09-25-2009 12:37 PM

Me: "Hmm, Brutal Legend Demo, huh? I guess I'll check to see if it's up."
Me: "Why, it is! Glory be! I believe I will download this!"
Microsoft: "STOP RIGHT THERE. THIS GAME IS RATED 17+! YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO DOWNLOAD CONTENT WITH THIS RATING."
Me: "I'm fucking 17. Whatever, I can just use my other account made for specifically this situation."
Microsoft:"WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING? THIS IS GOLD MEMBER EXCLUSIVE ONLY."

God damn this pisses me off.

OANST 09-25-2009 12:44 PM

Make another account and it will give you one month of free Gold membership.

Edit: I know that American accounts do this. List your location in the U.S. when making the account.

Mac Sirloin 09-25-2009 12:58 PM

Thanks. It's still bullshit, though.

No demo, I'd rent it if you're hesitant. Campaign is the best in the series and Firefight is Horde x Over 9000.

The campaign is "wander around a deserted samey-looking city for hours finding bits and pieces that send you back in time to play as a character much cooler then yours as he kills things in stock Halo fashion from point A to point B. Repeat this four times then go into a bunch of underground tunnels to find a floating purple thing and escort it out of the city in a truck for the rest of the game."

Enjoy.

OANST 09-25-2009 02:13 PM

That sounds incredible!

Bullet Magnet 09-25-2009 02:21 PM

My next gen console is now a hundred miles away, so until the unlikely event that I buy a new one/can afford to buy a new one/can risk buying a new once without getting an earful and who-knows-what-else, I've been playing Stranger's Wrath, the first Ultimate Alliance and Impossible Creatures. I'll break out the Jaks and some of my favourite PS1 games if my PS2 still works.

Oh, I did enjoy it.


Oh and OANST, yeah I know there is more to Brutal Legend than the section in the demo. Combat was just lacking for me, I know later you get armies to control though. I'll probably end up getting it, just not at release.

OANST 09-25-2009 02:38 PM

Also, your axe and guitar get upgraded with new abilities.

Daxter King 09-25-2009 02:40 PM

Sweet, yeah. Im probably getting it for Christmas, won't have the money when it comes out.

OANST 09-25-2009 02:43 PM

I guess the bottom line is this: Schafer is not known for making extraordinarily compelling gameplay. He is known for making extraordinarily compelling story, art, and dialogue that are augmented by the adequate gameplay.

Mac Sirloin 09-25-2009 02:46 PM

Watching the Brutal Legend opening crap now HOLY SHIT THAT'S RAZPUTINS VOICE

What a dick


Oh, nice mask, fuckface.

THE EARLY SEVENTIES

HE WAS DOING THE PSYCHONAUTS DANCE

EVERY NASTY SYLLABLE

Oh god

What happened

WOW LOOK AT THAT SKULL THING

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK

OH MAN DIRVING AND NOW A GIANT WORM

Aww, it comes out on the 13th? I'm not sure if I'll have the money for it by then

OANST 09-25-2009 02:51 PM

That last part had better be sarcasm.

Mac Sirloin 09-25-2009 02:58 PM

No, just copy and pasted poorly when I was signed out

Dixanadu 09-25-2009 10:13 PM

I'm one vidmaster challenge away from teh Reconz armorz.

I'm one vidmaster challenge away from having done a vidmaster challenge.

Dixanadu 09-26-2009 12:17 PM

NO U NOT.
