When I saw that you made the latest post to this thread I was seriously expecting you to make me feel stupid again by saying that Rayman Origins is easy :p

Glad I was wrong :D

Dynamithix 02-22-2012 06:53 AM

Well, it is.

JennyGenesis 02-22-2012 07:48 AM

It really wasn't,

Chasing that little blue guy across the falling debris resulted in me throwing my disc across the room in frustration :(

Wings of Fire 02-22-2012 07:51 AM

Wait, really?

That's such an eleven year old thing to do.

Crashpunk 02-22-2012 07:53 AM

I think we've all got a bit angry whilst playing Video games. I know I have.

Wings of Fire 02-22-2012 07:58 AM

Yes. I used to have horrible anger problems. Had pretty deep scars on my scalp from where I'd scratched my head so much.

This never happened after I was, you know, fourteen/fifteen years old. And I certainly never damaged a game because of it.

Lol, you would know that wouldn't you :tard:

I thought the demo lacked pretty much everything I liked about the first one. I didn't even really like the second one to be honest and looks like the third one's even more action based.

Also, Alex, nice video, just a bit laggy at parts. I also like your voice.

Thanks for the compliment. I must admit, I love Mass Effect 2 for the story and dialogue choices more than anything. But at the same time, being able to run and gun as a Krogan/Quarian just expresses something that the singleplayer doesn't have. But then, to each their own. In theory you can mod characters into ME2 and like swap Shepard's model with Garrus etc. Like making Garrus drunk: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2VrrwvlLx1Q

I wanna play the new Twisted Metal, but after watching quite a few gameplay videos, I'm not all that impressed really, it just seems to different and even on it's own the game still looks rather cheap and crappy.

Seriously? What is up with being able to play as helicopters!? Isn't this supposed to be Twisted Metal!?

I remember Rogue Trip which was made by the same developers had a UFO and a helicopter you could play as but they were just there for laughs and actually had to be unlocked with a cheat code. From what I can see, Twisted Metal is trying to implement helicopters as normal characters, somebody correct me if I'm wrong though.

There is a single helicopter that you can play as. It is not a character, it's an optional vehicle with no severe bearing on the gameplay, as it has the same strengths and weaknesses adjusted as any other car in the game. Twisted Metal Black had Sweetbot (TM still does), so if you're refusing to play it because they did something different from the old TM games, which were buggy, unbalanced, ugly pieces of shit, you don't even deserve to play as a Juggalo serial killer in an Ice Cream Bus. They've cleaned up the untidy controls, streamlined the cheat-code weapons of old so that they can't be spammed to shit and back and added an excellent and varied group of vehicles to play as. But it still plays the same, it's still infinite dumb fun and it's still better than your shit. Watching Gameplay videos of the new TM (I bet you were watching the Dev team videos, which are fucking terrible because Santa Monica is a bunch of grimdark manchildren) does not translate into actually playing the new TM.

GOD.

Mr. Bungle 02-22-2012 11:55 AM

I haven't played Twisted Metal since 2000, not sure if wanna pick up this one. Not much of a racing fan.

Also, I've been playing through Rayman Origins (still). Really good game but goddamn does it get difficult later on.

JennyGenesis 02-22-2012 12:54 PM

I'm not dismissing the new Twisted Metal, I'm just not impressed from what I've seen so far. I haven't played it yet because I haven't had the chance but I defiantly will when I can.

Maybe if we ignore him, he'll just go away.









Is he gone yet?

sheridanm962 02-22-2012 02:14 PM

Who is?

Is he dead yet?

Manco 02-22-2012 02:40 PM

Only one person can answer that, and if the answer is yes we’ll never know.

MeechMunchie 02-22-2012 02:46 PM

Though reasonable supporting evidence such as the massive decrease in bullshit levels will certainly lead us to some decent conclusions.

sheridanm962 02-22-2012 02:51 PM

Whatever, You wouldn't even know HOW to count bullshit levels your brain isn't even that much of a calculator.

I bet you haven't even seen a decent conclusion since your dad broke his condom.

Nepsotic 02-22-2012 04:21 PM

Its like a kryptic clue... Have we gotta rearrange the words or something?


You fucked up 2 threads. Don't fuck up this one.


Anyway, a fustrating moment for me is dying on any old resident evil. Because you know your gonna have to start miles back.

Don't even start theenking about getting it unless you have online, or a bundle of friends to co-hearse into playing splitscreen with.

Interesting, now how to I shot web...

Even when you fuck up, you fuck up. You'll be fun for a few more days. Pretty much earned yourself a ban regardless.
Also, you give New Zealand a bad name. And, I mean, fuckin' New Zealand.

Mr. Bungle 02-22-2012 05:58 PM

Does it have 4-player splitscreen? I miss that in modern games.

Mac Sirloin 02-22-2012 06:02 PM

Yes it does. It does that annoying thing where you get an achievement that says something like 'Old skool' or 'Golden years' or 'Classic gaymur' just for fucking playing split screen at all.

Basically, I love everything about the crunch of the game, but the fluff makes me want to vomit.

Mr. Bungle 02-22-2012 06:06 PM

Hmm. Might give it a rental, in that case. I can imagine that being a lot of fun with a bunch of friends and some good ganj.

sheridanm962 02-22-2012 07:58 PM

Duke Nukem: Forever on Xbox 360, haters gonna hate

Come at me bitches!!!

Varrok 02-22-2012 09:09 PM

I have played DNF... and much to my surprize - it wasn't that bad. Surely not 2/10-bad. More like 6/10. A six is not a bad rating but I guess it wasn't worth the wait. There were moments I actually enjoyed the game. The ending was crap.

sheridanm962 02-22-2012 09:38 PM

Well you gave an honest opinion about the game and that counts, you really seem to be the only one here who likes the game other than me, I'd give it a 6/10 too... I know there are minor glitches and bugs in the game (I've seen certain textures not load till 5 seconds every time I died or started a new game) but I still enjoyed it!

Daxter King 02-22-2012 09:41 PM

Bought the new Alan Wake on the Arcade, really fun. Has pretty much everything that I loved from the first game.

Also been playing the fuck out of that SSX demo, I love even though I'm bad.

Mr. Bungle 02-22-2012 09:44 PM

I played a bit of Duke Nukem forever. Pretty fun game but nothing too special. Has some good comedic moments but overall not that memorable. Can't give it a rating but can say I enjoyed being tiny Duke. Voice acting was fantastic.

It's more of a drinkin' sort of game. I've found getting dudes together to toke and do some splitscreen usually ends up with a room full of non-chatty nig nogs boredly going through the motions of Halo Reach. Pick up a bottle of cheap rum and just have at 'er.

Trust me, I'm a Dogtor.

Nepsotic 02-22-2012 10:51 PM

I never played any duke nukems, i have a friend though who completed doom in 14 seconds.

JennyGenesis 02-23-2012 02:37 AM

I've never played a Duke Nukem game either but I feel sorry for the fans who had to wait all that time for a great disappointment.

sheridanm962 02-23-2012 10:30 PM

Today I Sheridan McMillan am going to attempt to play PERP 3.0 on Garry's mod, wish me luck people, I'll need it.

Phylum 02-24-2012 02:10 AM

I've been playing Realm of the Mad God again after forgetting about it. I killed my level 20 Wizard fairly soon after rediscovering it. I really want to invest some money into it for another chest and character slot.

I'm currently playing a Necromancer for the first time and loving it. I keep robes in my chest because I only play robe classes, so armed with a Robe of the Invoker and a Superior Ring of Defense I set out to level a fresh character. I hit 20 in about 20 minutes after camping out the Godlands fro level 7 with a friendly wizard who gave me Necro gear as he collected it.

I think I'll go back to a wizard in my next character. I like the higher dps and scatter attack. For now, pot farming with my Necro!

Strike Witch 02-26-2012 12:00 PM

I finished Catherine.

http://i42.tinypic.com/2dj8ivr.jpg

Probably one of the greatest things I've ever played.

Dynamithix 02-26-2012 12:50 PM

AH SHIT THAT PICTURE, DON'T SPOIL!

I'm getting it sometime in March.

Also, Dark Souls' New Game+ is fucking hard.

MeechMunchie 02-26-2012 03:36 PM

I quite like the funky post-anime look. It's come full circle and started looking like 50's Western animation again.

Chubfish 02-27-2012 12:41 AM

The World Ends With You. I played it years ago and did everything so now I'm just speedrunning it. Best DS game ever so I hope there is a sequel soon for the 3DS or something. I am playing it in a newer Japanese version since the dialogue is shorter + the voices are better (if you can call any of the voice acting in it voices), and the pins/attacks are fixed.

My only gripe is that I can't skip the cutscenes unless I've already beat the game...watching Neku gripe about being dead for the 1000th time or scan Joshua forces me to mash A and tap the screen as fast as possible, although since it's Japanese it's less so. I wish RPG's now had a skip cutscene feature for "New Games". Sure I'll watch them the first time just not anymore than that really. At least the combat in the game is pretty fun and shopping *cough*.

AlexFili 02-27-2012 01:26 AM

Some of the puzzles are annoying. That's what made me stop.

JennyGenesis 02-27-2012 11:00 AM

I saw a trailer of Catherine and was curious to try it out, but after watching gameplay, I'm unsure if it's my type of game to be honest.

OANST 02-27-2012 11:11 AM

There's no driving.

sheridanm962 02-27-2012 05:40 PM

Going to play some Classic Nexuiz mofo's!!!

Dynamithix 02-28-2012 03:41 AM

Been playing a shitload of Dark Souls lately and fuck yeah, I finally beat Ornstein & Smough in New Game+! That fat asshole Smough was tons harder this time. Now I'm going to join the Darkwraiths and get the last weapon upgrading achievements I have left.
