Now now. Let's be fair. All three of us did. We can't all fucking stick to the left and chuck pipe bombs like you.

Hey hey hey. That's how the pro's play. They also play on easy. And all try to pick Ellis.

I dont know which one of you it was, but either you or your friend sucked ass.

Sooo... Everything went to shit after I left, then? Or is this the same suckage that was happening while I was still on?

Disgruntled Intern 01-07-2010 10:28 AM

He left right after you did.

OANST 01-07-2010 10:33 AM

We really did do poorly last night. That scavenge match was embarrassing. Not that it wasn't my fault. I think I missed with the Charger five times in a row.

Disgruntled Intern 01-07-2010 11:15 AM

Yeah, that was horrible. Elvis and I did okay on our own, but not much better. Finally got the melee only achievement.

OANST 01-07-2010 12:20 PM

The Charger seems inconsistent to me. Sometimes it grabs hold of the survivor if they even nudge the side. Others, you can watch the survivor be thrown back because of being hit, but he doesn't get grabbed.

Disgruntled Intern 01-07-2010 01:09 PM

The game needs a giant patch. It's been buggier than my pubes as of late.

shaman 01-07-2010 01:56 PM

I will simply stop playing ODST if it doesn't start to develop a plot soon.

Although I have no idea how buggy your pubes are I will have to agree with you.

I have only played the game once on my step-dads 360 with my younger brother. We were at the begining of the game and had to go along the outside of the building (through the windows) and a hunter jumped onto one of the survivors. However instead of falling to the floor the hunter and survivor flew off of the building and into the horizon, leaving me very puzzled.

Wait, what?

Are you skipping through every single fucking cutscene? I mean, god damn, I didn't think your posts could get much dumber, but here we go.

Obviously not, otherwise i wouldn't be complaining would i? I've watched the cutscenes. And i've came to the conclusion that it's basically Halo 3 with all the good parts of the story taken out.

Dropped into New Mombassa, Try to find team. Jump from character to fucking character for a while.

Lose all interest.

Seriously, it doesn't begin to do the series justice.

Disgruntled Intern 01-07-2010 02:43 PM

Yeah, you're right. It takes a totally fucking idiotic franchise for a realistic ride.

Oh, darn. It lacks a mysterious super-strong impervious to bullets one line spewing killing machine. Aw, no cortana. Instead, we get fucking brotherhood and subtlety. Shucks.

shaman 01-07-2010 02:48 PM

We get predictable battles with very little explination or story behind them. With regular intervals of drawn out, boring levels set in the same fucking place with the constant objective: Find your team.

Wings of Fire 01-07-2010 02:52 PM

So an accurate depiction of warfare then?

Involving fur covered giants clad in armor and an alien ship?

It doesn't do a damn thing for me, i think it's because i've played the other games and by contrast this one just isn't even slightly engaging.

Who the hell said that soft sci-fi couldn't do a realistic war story?

shaman 01-07-2010 03:07 PM

I'm not looking for a realistic game. I want it to entertain me. Preferably with a trace amount of legible storyline.
Which it doesn't. So as much as i hate to say it, i'm out.

Have you tried Mass Effect?

shaman 01-07-2010 03:48 PM

Not as yet.

I got Brutal Legend for Christmas, so i've got to get round to playing that.

Reviews Plox.

Daxter King 01-07-2010 04:15 PM

Good thing shaman has no taste, because if he didn't, I might have to take him seriously.

First thing that came into my head, there are tonnes of other examples.

I'm going to buy Bayonetta when I can because I enjoy OANST's tales of beating up giant angel statues in heaven.

Not beating up giant angel statues. Beating up a gigantic angel, dropping a statue of cupid that is pissing gasoline on the angel, lighting the gas on fire only to have it go out before reaching the angel, then shooting a bullet into the penis of the cupid statue, causing it and the gigantic angel to explode.

That's what happened.

Wings of Fire 01-11-2010 07:02 AM

I'm playing Darksiders. When it first started, I was a bit disappointed. It didn't feel like it was doing anything special. I was in a destroyed city, being attacked by zombies, using a guy who doesn't move very fast. Then, about an hour in, everything changes. It has turned into one of the most jawdroppingly awesome games I have ever played.

Yes, it's a lot like Zelda. But that's not a bad thing. And there is more than enough of their own thing going on to make it easy to forgive any elements that they may have borrowed from other games.

And the dungeons are huge. HUUUUUUUUUUUGE. It took me three hours to get through the first one.

I watched my friend do this exact fucking fight on Friday. I can't believe how fun Bayonetta is just to watch.

I'm just going to say now for anyone not in the know that that is OANST.

I couldn't manage to bring my 360 back with me to Glasgow so I won't be playing anything til February time. Sorry DI, you can get to know me offline in a month or so <3.

I'm with Shaman. ODST had about as much plot as the first level of the original game. Plus it was at that point I really started to get aggravated at Bungie's "oho we so clevah" references to shit that really just slapped you across the face.

Uplift Nature Preserve? Really now?

Right?

I recommend both Bayonetta and Darksiders to anyone who plans on buying a game soon. I loved Bayonetta, but I think that I recommend Darksiders a bit more. Solely because it's the only game of it's kind on the 360.

I was kind of split when I heard about Darksiders. I'm not a huge fan of the 3D Zelda games that aren't Wind Waker, but at the same time I'm not great at games like Bayonetta. I'd rather something badass and epic over constant, over the top action, though. So I'll probably go for Darksiders.

EDIT: I went out and bought Too Human today, it's not that bad.

The controls take some getting used to be otherwise it's a fun game.

Strike Witch 01-14-2010 05:02 AM

Holy Hell at Bayonetta.

I just killed the ball of faces with the mouth-tentacle-faces and stuff.

Daxter King 01-14-2010 03:11 PM

So I started using elemental weapons in Borderlands, holy fuck is it easier. I used to just take the gun with the highest damage, which usually doesn't have any elements. I switched to a revolver which does like 200 less damage than my best one, but has x4 acid. I love shooting someone once and letting them corrode into death in seconds.

The Siren is probably the easiest class because of that, since she get s ton of Elemental buffs. Using The Berserk Action skill when X4 Explosive damage makes everything so satisfying. You basically Quintuple amputate someone with a critpunch. I've found that Incendiary and Shock rounds work best, I can't find any Corrosive guns that have a reasonably high damage or Element multiplier to justify buying.

On that note: I bought a Shotgun that did 155 Damage x11 for about 1,600 000 dollars. It's the best shotgun I had in the game up to that point, since it also had EXCELLENT range and a 12 round barrel. It looks really cool, too.

Then I came across a generic one that does 2,805 damage a shot with a two round barrel in a trash can about ten minutes later. It's got less ammo but reloads really quick. It's basically a super fast Sledge's shotgun without the automatic waste of both shots, and decent range and recoil. Pissed me right off.

Strike Witch 01-14-2010 08:55 PM

I wandered through a gravity-fucked universe of stars battling living flying boats that launch cherub missiles, rode a motorcycle down an exploding freeway shooting down Angelic cadillacs, had a massive battle with what can only be charitably be described as a ball of cherub faces that extruded more face tentacles from their mouths and hundreds of other orifices and talked in a disturbingly high and young choir voice, and then decided to call it quits when the Battleship-Shark-Lizard-Angel appeared. Oh yes, and Bayonetta fights him whilst surfing.

Awesome game.

Wait until you see the Joy angels. You'll probably stop to masturbate before continuing.

I couldn't masturbate during that torture attack, I was laughing too hard.

Oh God, it's giving such a rush.
