I'm playing Half-Life 2 for the first time, amazing experience! It's crazy how many of the games I've liked in recent years have tried to steal stuff from it. It truly is one of the best shooters I've ever played 'cause it's more like an adventure then just a bunch of disjointed arena shoot-outs strung together; I'm playing it on the Orange Box btw.

I got the orange box at a full price of $140 NZD, they made it more expensive but it's worth getting it in a physical form due to my ISP not being unlimited.

Has anyone played Final Fantasy X?
Brilliant game, I started playing the other day and I can't put the damn controller down. It's incredible.

Almost finished LoZ: Skyward Sword. I've also been playing Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Darkness. Aside from Pokemon Snap. This is the best Pokemon spin of game.

Oh shush you, I didn't expect there to be.

Where are you now, and how many hours played? It took me 31 hours and my mate 53 hours; I reckon an average playthrough is somewhere in between there.

Currently on over 100 Hours but that's because i've been doing everything in the game, Plus I have been stuck a lot and I was messing around in Skyloft for ages :tard:

Once I've finished it, I'm going to attempt to beat Okami.

Isn't it? Wait till you start getting further into the sphere grid, I got so damn addicted to it. One of the best ways of building characters in an RPG. Also, it's getting a HD remake for the Vita! Exciting!

I just bought Binary Domain and Sonic Generations in a 2-for-1 sale.

Haven't played them yet, might be interesting!

I know someone who got sonic generations for free, he hates the fanbase but then again likes the game.

Oh.

Well yeah, everyone hates the Sonic fandom.

I just figured I should own at least one and this one is supposed to be great.

What the hell, Binary Domain is already on sale? Did it even come out yet??

I love Sonic games, but I hate the fandom. The fandom is a massive fucking embarrassment, and is also full of miserable fucks.

I'm not an active Sonic series fan - can sbd tell me what's so wrong about the fandom?

Edit: nvm I have never thought google will give me that many answers to that

I've only played first games + 3D + demo of Sonic Heroes (enjoyed each of them, but first the most)

Been playing Theme Hospital for a bit and going to try Operation Black Dawn in a minute. http://www.renegade-x.com

SSX came in the mail today so you already know what I'm going to play for the rest of the day.

Oh my, I must get myself a copy of that game!

Absolute classic, I love it.

I haven't played Theme Hospital since I was 10. That game used to be amazing.

There's no driving.

JennyGenesis once bought a golf game because he heard there was driving in it.

I'm aware of that, I first bought the game on the PC after playing the PSX version at my cousin's house.

Yeah, driving that golf caddy was fun!

Holy shit, Binary Domain is fun. It's like they took the solid cover mechanics of Gears of War, rinsed the boring grimdark off, added the crazy giant robot battling fun of Vanquish, gave the game a Terminator story that isn't terrible, added the more alarmingly-frank and graphic brutality of Japanese R-rated action, crime and horror films, and then basically gave the whole thing a cast and dub that resembles some sort of hilarious hybrid of Uncharted with Resident Evil.

Basically, you are Dan, part of an international anti-illegal-robotics team called a Rust Crew. Along with a huge black man named Big Bro, a smarmy British cunt named Charles and his quiet demolitions expert lady Ms. Townsend, a sexy Chinese sniper named Faye, and a chivalrous French combat robot named Cain, you are infiltrating the isolationist walled city of future Tokyo to find out who has been building a bunch of human-mimicking robots called Hollow Children, who disturbingly even think they themselves are human. So far it's been an incredibly fun romp, and it has this odd little Trust system that basically rates your responses and performance in battle to decide if Teammates like you enough or not to follow your orders and stuff. So if you accidentally toss a grenade near your allies, fail to kill a sniper after shooting at it for ten minutes, or ignore their requests to cover them, they'll basically tell you to go fuck yourself if you want them to do something. It affects the plot as well apparently. You can even use Kinect if you want.

I really like it.

Who read that? Raise your hands.

Sup.

Not me.


Does anyone here play Starcraft 2 online at all? If so, we should totally play.

Me did read most of it, sir. But I've wanted the game for awhile. I was worried it was some kind of buttfuck RPG.

I played the demo for Rayman Origins. It was okay. Nothing spectacular. I'll see if I can get my brother/sister on it later.

It's no Super Meat Boy, but I'd still recommend it. The controls take some getting used to, but when you do it's a lot of fun.

It's not as hard as you'd expect, especially in the early levels. The last world was challenging, but I was never tearing my hair out. The Time Trials and Lum Collection is really tough and gives lot of replay value. It's a pity that it's so tedious to go back through every level 10 times looking for a few more lums.

It's not everyone's thing, but I really enjoyed it and strongly recommend it.

I really can't put my finger on it, but it just didn't do it for me. There were too many collectibles for one thing. I like collecting in games. I think it adds a lot of replay value, but when developers get stupid with it, I start to feel overwhelmed, and just don't even want to try.

I'm playing Rayman 3 right now, I got up to the Horrible Machine boss today and rage quit after about three tries.

You need to charge your shots and use strafe/lock. That's all the help I can give.

Nah, there's nanomachine upgrades and gun upgrades, but you can run-and-gun through most of it.

Also a GIANT FUCKING MOTOCYCLE ROBOT

he tries to land his steam-roll-sized front wheel on your van.

I'm playing Dissidia 012 Final Fantasy for the PSP/Vita. Miles better than the first, I can't see myself ever going back to play that to be honest. Plus, the story flows better and you get a better chance to try out each character.
Also replaying Tales of Symphonia for the umpteenth time because it's awesome. However, I'm starting to realise some of its poorer qualities such as the script. It's not brilliant, but the start of the game is generally average anyway.

Finished Binary Domain, though it has a branching path type dealie with different endings, so I can always go again.

Great game, tops ending.

Unlocked all the characters in SSX except for Griff and now just playing in Explore mode with 'em.

To be honest, the story mode is pretty damn boring because you can't exactly choose what to do in it and what not, you just have to do the Survival events of each of the mountains with different characters.

I don't know if anyone here likes interactive fiction, but this one is quite good.

I borrowed my friend Dark Souls because he wanted to try it out and he gave me Modern Warfare 3 in return so I've been playing this for a sum of 6 hours now and uhh, are the multiplayer maps supposed to be this bad or what? Needless to say I wasn't even interested in the multiplayer.

To be honest, so far I'm kind of liking the campaign. It's easy as hell and dumb, but it's pretty fun. I also like the Spec Ops survival mode where there are waves of enemies coming at you. It's pretty neat. Other than that, this game is really unimaginative and bland.

My level 20 wizard died in ROTMG so I'm taking a break for a while. Fuck, that game can be annoying.

I managed to get Quake 2 working on my new computer with kmquake2. The bloom effect and 16xAA makes it look really nice for a game from '97. Also,, the particle engine seems to have been rewritten.

Still playing Skyward Sword. Why do Zelda games take so long to complete!

I've seen Spiral Knights has got some new DLC so I might play that soon. it's been a while since I played that game.
