It all worked so brilliantly. The platforming was fast paced, fluid and responsive. The Moskito ride worked really well and I loved the inhale mechanic. The swimming felt more intuitive than I'd anticipated and I found myself really loving the system after a few fast deaths.

I tried out the 2 player co-op with my mum and loved it. She's absolutely terrible at platformers, but it didn't matter. She could coast on my success by simply moving her post-death ghost to my location, where I could punch it back to life. I wasn't being penalised for her crap playing, but it wasn't making anything notably easier for me, either.

basically, we may have a bona fide platforming masterpiece on our hands? With Rayman 2 in the same series, that's a helluva track record.(Rabbids never happened. NEVER HAPPENED.)

I would have already if I had any idea what you guys were talking about. I can't identify which posts are about... whatever, and which posts are about other game franchises I don't know about.

If anyone wants to give me a list of post numbers and an appropriate title, I'd be happy to split.

Controls were a bit too sensitive to me, they honestly didn't feel very precise. Im still getting it eventually, but wish the controls were more intuitive. Beautiful game either way, will pick it up on sale or for Christmas.

This.

It's like the long awaited 2D sequel to the original Rayman that some of us have been waiting a long long time for. And also, it looks like a bloody difficult game, which is always a bonus.

I hope Abe HD is as good as Rayman Origins.

Yeah, one of things I noticed was the difficulty. I really liked it, but the mosquito part was really difficult to even get through.

I think it died after Strike Witch made a butt hurt rant about how good the new codex is. Even though it isn't. ;)

Thats great to hear, I'm really exsited for Rayman Origins. I really hope it gets good sales, Then we can see the death of the Rabbits and back onto Rayman 4 :tard:

And everyone I know has been playing Skyrim, I won't see them ever again...:fuzconf:

But you two were being butthurt. Hell MM didn't even read the fucking thing.

Yup ^_^

I mean, since when has trying to get you to change your opinion on something largely inconsequential been worth it?

What's that? I can't hear you over the sound of how awesome the new Necrons are.

Picked up Skyrim and Battlefield 3 earlier today. Skyrim is fan-fucking-tastic. Im only about 3 hours in, with just one quest done, but I can already tell Ill be spending a lot of time with the game. Focus on archery and one handed weapons with a little magic on the side for now.

Battlefield 3 is great too. Much improved from the Beta. Menus could be a lot better, but other than that I don't have any major complaints from multiplayer. Haven't touched the single player or co-op, will eventually though.

As of an hour ago, I have the Rayman Origins Collector's Edition preordered.

In KH2:FM I've now defeated the last Absent Silhouette (Marluxia, who is a fucking bastard one he starts rolling around as a wheel) and learnt glide, which it seems isn't enough alone to get to the next area of the Cavern of Remembrance. I also managed to clear the Halloween Town Mushroom after almost fifty attempts.

I know I wouldn't say anything about Ocarina but thats all i've been playing :tard: I'm trying to complete it before Skyward Sword, I'm currently at the dreaded Water Temple.

Apparently some people are saying Skyward Sword is better than Ocarina of Time. ...wut

Yeah, Its apparently the best Zelda game by miles.

Hey remember that Zelda thread someone made? I think there was discussion about Zelda in there!

There's this huge stick up your arse, you should see someone about that maybe.

Alright alright, sorry. Just figured it would be easier to discuss about Zelda in the topic that's about Zelda.

Anyways, I'm almost done with Mage Gauntlet, a really good iOS game. Some of the last stages are so fucking hard, not to mention the bosses. I wonder how hard the final boss is...

Is that the Sprite Aminated one? You speak to a giant pig face at some point? I was thinking about getting that.

I've been playing Fable II on a tiny, itty bitty TV next to the giant one that I own that I'm letting my friends play Skyrim on (in between cleaning their diarrhoea out from under their chairs and hand-feeding them while they play). I'm going out of my way to be a dick this time around. I already know that I'm choosing the Dog ending, so this is just to make everything easier. I'm going to be a monstrous, overcharging slumlord.

Yeah, it is.

Been playing through Red Dead Redemption. Fantastic game, one of the best experiences I've had with a video game. Two thumbs way up.

I bought the 'Cthulhu Saves The World & Breath of Death' pack on steam... Only played CSTWB so far. It's really funny. Though I'm sad I haven't read any of the Lovecraftian stuff, as I'm sure it'd make me appreciate the game more. Or maybe less. Who knows. But the game has a lexicon and stuff.
It actually makes me wanna read this Lovecraft stuff just to see what it's about. Hm.

Still can't wait till I get home. Kind of sad that I'll only get to play my pre-ordered copy of Skyrim a month or two after(I really wanted that map) x_x Boo to you early players. Boo!

I also got Costume Quest.... But its kind of annoying on my Laptop. My laptop cant even play THAT game properly(though the stuff I've played through was pretty fun). When I get home, I'll have sex with my PC.

Having a blast in Assassin's Creed: Revelations

Your butt? Because I don't like RDR. Have I mentioned that before? I want to hammer that nail in as thoroughly as possible. Have fun though.
A blast out of your ass? From the sickly case of the shits that the turdfest of AssAssin's Crud has given you?

Alternatively

Yeah, you would.

I've been playing Saints Row: The Third. There's this thing, called taste. Everyone who hasn't played this game needs it.

Hmph. Such a childish game would never please the refined tastes of my people...

Oh wait. Carry on.

Wait...

Saints Row: The Turd.

See, it goes both ways.

I've been playing SR3 and Rayman Origins. Both of them are like playing extremely entertaining, albeit extremely different cartoons. Rayman is overwhelming.

I recently found out Rayman doesn't have online co-op, which really disappointed me. Im still going to get it, just not as soon.

It's like playing candy. It's so energetic and colourful and happy. I can't handle it. Be sure to play it after eating a salad.

I want to play that! I had so much fun on Assassin's Creed 1 and 2. Assassin's Creed 1 is still my favorite though.

Ending the year with Halo Anniversary.

Fitting.

So is this the best month in gaming for at least half a decade or what?

It's very rare to get me excited for one game in a month, let alone five.

I'm playing Champions Online. It's fun but lonely. Anyone up for some superpowered shennanigans? I have group buffs...

I beat Xemnas in Kingdom Hearts 2 Final Mix. The final form was fairly easy once I stopped dying within a few seconds of him using his first attack. Using the Decisive Pumpkin made it much easier than it could have been, seeing as each combo knocked a whole bar of his health off.

I also discovered that you need to unlock The Gathering before you can fight Terra, so I now have to go back and clear Atlantica, then fight Xemnass again before I can face him. I'm only level 57, so I'm expecting my attempts to be short lived.

Terra?

The Lingering Will.

He's one of the new secret bosses, along with the whole of Organisation XIII in the new area of Radiant Garden.

Ah, cool.

That reminds me, I really should get around to playing the DS and PSP games.

Maybe.

Apparently BBS is really good and is important to the plot. I wouldn't bother with Days and Re:Coded though. Just watch the latter's secret ending on Youtube.

I'm going to play Skyrim today, going to buy Skyward Sword next week, Start a new game on Minecraft since it was released yesterday and sort out my money to buy Rayman Origins

That will keep me happy before Christmas :P

I got a free code for King Arthur with PC Gamer. Not interested myself, I've got a huge back catalogue to work through, plus the other 5% of my life that doesn't involve VIIIDYA GAMEZZ.

Still, if anyone is interested in that sort of thing they can just post here and I'll drop you a PM.

EDIT: In other news, I recieved the Bastion soundtrack album in the post today. I had wondered why it had taken so long, turns out it was because Darren Korb is mailing each one personally. I mean, I knew Supergiant were small, but not that small.
