Im a bit disappointed you cant sex up the Justicator.

OANST 02-16-2010 02:38 PM

I'm not. She has a weird mole on her chest, and her tits are set really low. Weirds me out.


Heres this: The video is horrible, but the song is awesome.

This game sounds intruiging and mystifying. However, it's threatening to take over this thread; can someone please make a Mass Effect 2 thread next time they want to talk about it?

Voodoo Hand 02-16-2010 03:09 PM

Sex SPOILER maybe
 
I blew my sex chances because did not know that the sex biz was triggered by the omega 4 relay jump. heat of battle and all that get the juices flowing i guess.
By that time had screwed the dialog options to the point that Jack would only say "Fuck Off" every time i would try to talk to her.

*infracts Voodoo Hand for not listening to my instructions*

No, not really. But I'm serious that I don't want any more ME2 discussion in this thread.

Sorry, shot that off before I saw your post.

I'll get Bayonetta tomorrow, meanwhile I'm playing bioshock2 on live.

That's right I'm back on gold!

Shadina 02-19-2010 02:52 AM

playing Yume Nikki. :D

Sligoth 02-19-2010 03:59 AM

I started playing Parasite Eve 2 on the PSX again yesterday for the first time since the day I got it in 2000. I used to be crap at it, but I'm finding it a lot easier this time. I must have just been worse at games generally back then.

Other than this, I've playing SAW on teh 360. Still stuck on this puzzle with a guy in a fire chamber or something.

I'm currently playing Castlevania Harmony of Dissonance. It's pretty annoying, actually.

Me too, on xbox?

Nah, PC

Bioshock 2 Multiplayer. Despite the moronically unbalanced weapons and plasmids (granade launcher anyone?) and the lag heaven you enter every single time you play (PC version), this game is strangely addictive. Probably because I'm an achievement whore and I want to unlock those new goodies.

And I'm playing through Fallout 3. I'm using the Prima strategy guide (which I think is the thickest book they ever published, counting over 750 pages it's almost as thick as a phonebook O_o) so I can get into every detailed corner of this great game. I'm kinda laying the foundation for Fallout: New Vegas.

Alf Shall Rise 02-22-2010 08:47 PM

I'm currently playing through Uncharted 2 now. I borrowed it from a friend but I never really played it, and it's been a while now that I've had it - so now I'm going to actually spend time playing it.

Why would you use a guide? That's just sucking over half the fun out of it. Ugh.

Xavier 02-24-2010 05:50 AM

I don't agree with this, it's pretty fun to play it with a guide to, it just has a different feel to it.


I'm playing Bayonetta now on Normal it's way more difficult than what nowadays games have accustomed me to. And it's awesome!

AlienMagi 02-25-2010 06:34 AM

Postal 2, Team fortress 2 and AVP

OANST 02-25-2010 07:58 AM

I'm playing with people's emotions.

Alf Shall Rise 02-28-2010 02:04 PM

I finished Uncharted 2 and now I'm playing Little Big Planet because I never finished the story.

OddjobAbe 02-28-2010 03:51 PM

I have played a video game today (something I have not done in months). My cousin (who is two years younger than me) visited today, and he's really into Star Wars and video games. He got us all on that second Battlefront game, and both me and my brother thought it was going to be awful. We ended up having a bloody good laugh on it. I found it quite addictive - I must have been playing the same two maps for at least an hour after he left, trying to see how many little objectives I could acheive. The novelty wore off about ten minutes ago, though. I'm bored of it now.

Havoc 02-28-2010 10:38 PM

Playing the C&C4 beta. This was the first time I suspected and genuinely believed EA managed to do something that wasn't a total fuck up. New gameplay, meh who knows it might be fun.

So I start the thing up and I'm welcomed to the main menu. First thing that springs to mind when I hear the menu theme; Starwars. I mean... did Kane form an alliance with the Jedi's or something? What happend to the signature dark and mysterious C&C music? If you could ever fuck up something about a game, the music would be the last thing I would ever expect it to be.

And the multiplayer... well... EA had this great idea about ranking up. So the longer you play the game the more advanced and strong units you get. But in order to give newbies a chance against veteran players they made a unit cap. So the enemy might have stronger units, but he will also have less!

Yeah great idea if only that actually worked. Yesterday I played a match and since I just started playing I didn't exactly have a lot of choices yet. Still I am expected to fight some huge ass tanks and aircraft with my stupid newbie tanks. Nice going EA, you did it again.

Now my final hope is in the story. I demand a decent ending to the game series I've been addicted to since 1995. Yet somehow, I know, they are going to fuck it up. I'm sure they will have come up with some huge ass story twist that has nothing what so ever to do with the games before C&C 3. Guess we'll have to wait and see.

Phylum 02-28-2010 11:02 PM

I fear CnC4 would have been better if it hadn't been a CnC game. There's nothing wrong with a new idea, but CnC fans want slightly more traditional RTS games. I doubt the final game won't be fun to play, but many CnC fans will dislike it.

From what you say about multiplayer, I must conclude: RTS+Ranking= No. RTS' always rely on strategy and skill, not time spent playing. (although the lesser do come from the latter, often)

That said, if someone with small tanks and good strategy can defeat someone with big tanks and no strategy, I won't mind as much.

Mac Sirloin 03-01-2010 04:07 AM

I love it when people blame all the problems with games on EA. Shows how dumb they are.

Havoc 03-01-2010 07:31 AM

Westwood started out with great games. Each one as good as the other. Then EA took them over, fired like 90% of the original team and took over the franchise. C&C3 was good and true to the franchise but EALA, the DEVELOPER of the game really messed up with C&C4. So yeah, if a franchise gets messed up because you fire the original team working on it, damn right I'm gonna blame EA.

Despite the poor reviews, still one of my all time favorite games.

Actually Westwood still lives on as Petroglyph. After Westwood disappeared, a bunch of the ex-employees got together and made a new company, and are making games. They made a futuristic RTS called Universe at War: Earth Assault which I only tried the demo of. Though I couldn't play it very well cos my comp sucked at the time.
It has an interesting gameplay though somewhat confusing. I guess you have to be an experienced RTS player to get it right from the start. It contains lots of massive robots which is cool.

Anyway I actually haven't played any c&c games past red alert 3 and Generals.

Anyway I actually dislike new RTS games cos the graphics are too good and tend to become confusing. I liked old-style RTS cos they are symmetric and have that outline kinds of thing. it was easy to tell where my units were.
Nowadays there's just so much to keep in mind when playing RTS games... You can rotate the map, zoom in and out, you have to remember a lot of short keys and blah.

Anyway. I'm happy that petroglyph lives on.
