If you have a VCR you can.

Nepsotic · #**872** 06-07-2012, 02:36 PM

We don't live in the 90's anymore, mate.

OANST · #**873** 06-07-2012, 02:47 PM

Pilot does.

Jordan · #**874** 06-07-2012, 02:58 PM

I've started playing Halo and Little Big Planet 2. Halo is pretty cool so far, and I'm having a blast with LBP2.

Nepsotic · #**875** 06-07-2012, 03:15 PM

Which Halo?

Jordan · #**876** 06-07-2012, 04:40 PM

The first one.

Dynamithix · #**877** 06-07-2012, 11:47 PM

I think the first Halo is incredibly boring.

Mr. Bungle · #**878** 06-07-2012, 11:49 PM

It certainly hasn't aged well. But bear in mind, when it came out, it was mindblowing. I still enjoy it due to nostalgia.

Strike Witch · #**879** 06-07-2012, 11:53 PM

Halo 1 is my favourite of the series and my favourite FPS. I loved the atmosphere and world.

No he doesn't. He lives in a decade preceding VCRs or colour television.

Halo 1 has something magical about it which the others in the series lack somehow. Maybe it’s the nostalgia, but the tone and atmosphere (to me) feels more melancholy and morose, and the experience of seeing and exploring Alpha Halo for the first time is incredible.

As someone who played it for the first time years after it came out, I'd argue it has aged well. Sure, you notice a lot more of the flaws(grey hallway #467), but its still better than 90% of the CoD clones on the market today, which is both sad and incredible. Halo 3 is my favorite campaign of the series, because it was the most replayable for me, though for first run throughs I consider ODST the best. Halo 2 or Reach is the worst, I can't decide which, I need to play Halo 2 again sometime. From what I've seen of Halo 4, I don't like it. The campaign seems too scripted, even though we have only seen 5 minutes of it, so my opinion could change. Everything I have heard about the multiplayer though I hate. Sounds far too much like Call of Duty and not enough like Halo. I'm surprised that 343 is still going in that direction after the backlash from the fans about Reach. I think Halo at its core is best as an arena shooter, albeit a slow one compared to something like Quake or Unreal. Perks and killstreaks, ruin the arena shooter experience.

I don't get the feeling I got from Halo from games any more.

I've been recently playing Max Payne, Metroid Prime 3: Corruption and a lot of TF2 yet again.

Max Payne is really fun, I love the slow-motion/bullet time you can enable and the weapons are great. It's really satisfying opening a door and shooting a unexpected guy with a shotgun. I also love how the game tells the story though a comic-book, The artwork in them are great. I've never played the others but I really want to.

Metroid Prime 3 is fantastic. I've never really got into Metroid but I want to play many more titles in the franchiese now. The Wii controls are pretty much perfect, much better then using both analog sticks to aim and move (by the way, I hate that) however I am having problems with the Nuncuk whilst trying to grapple something, It sometimes doesn't work.

Anyway, I also have Metroid Other M and despite what everyone says, I'm going to give it a play and see what it's like.

Mr. Bungle · #**885** 06-09-2012, 01:02 AM

Have you played the original Metroid Prime? It's one of my favourite games of all time, if you haven't played through ti you really ought do yourself a favor and do it. It's a near perfect game.

I didn't really like Corruption much, though. Still need to play Other M, it looks like a lot of fun.

Crashpunk · #**886** 06-09-2012, 01:07 AM

I have not. My mate is a huge Metroid fan and he said Metroid Prime 2: Echos is the best in the series, I plan to play them all eventually, I'll report back once I do so

Mr. Bungle · #**887** 06-09-2012, 01:29 AM

Haven't played Echoes, either. It looked pretty good, just never really bothered with it.

You should also check out the GBA Metroids, they're a barrel of fun as well.

Nepsotic · #**888** 06-09-2012, 02:55 AM

Had another attempt at half life 2 yeasterday, forgot how hard it is. I think I've been going the wrong way since I started last night, now I have no clue where to go.

Mr. Bungle · #**889** 06-09-2012, 03:26 AM

What difficult were you on, and what part gave you trouble? Half-Life 2 never really struck me as a particularly difficult game (though it does have its moments), just a really fucking awesome one.

Crashpunk · #**890** 06-09-2012, 03:26 AM

It's really not that hard to figure out where to go on Half-Life 2. It's pretty linear.

The only hard parts are the gunships and fighting the Shotgun Combine (fuck those guys)

Mr. Bungle · #**891** 06-09-2012, 03:31 AM

Nova Prospekt can get pretty frustrating at times, and the gunship, like you've mentioned.

Also the part with the speedboat. Fuck that speedboat.

AlexFili · #**892** 06-09-2012, 04:55 AM

Just played a Visual Novel on the PSP called Corpse Party. Warning: It most certainly is not for the faint of heart. Blood, creepy things and sad endings all rolled into one.

Its just that I think I've been going the wrong way for a while now, and now I don't know which way is the right way.

MeechMunchie · #**894** 06-09-2012, 05:50 AM

The right way is the bit you haven't been to before.

Are you on Highway 17?

Dynamithix · #**895** 06-09-2012, 06:44 AM

I bought the latest humble indie bundle and tried out Lone Survivor first. It plays like a 2D pixelated Silent Hill. It's really scary and I'm only 15 minutes in to the game.

I'm also getting better and better at League of Legends, my main champions right now are Lulu, Jax and Miss Fortune. I am also trying out Garen, Fiddlesticks and Tristana. It's pretty fun but can be so fucking frustrating at times, especially if your team doesn't communicate at all and just keep getting themselves killed all the time.

Mr. Bungle · #**896** 06-09-2012, 07:50 AM

Tried Morrowind again.

Just cannot. Fucking. Get into. This. Game. I think I've been spoiled by Oblivion and Skyrim.

MeechMunchie · #**897** 06-09-2012, 08:12 AM

*Sigh* Someday, I'm going to have to admit that that game's just not as good as I think it is.

~~You have to use your imagination and try to imerse into the game world depite of some stiff mechanics~~ install a couple of mods.

Mr. Bungle · #**899** 06-09-2012, 08:29 AM

I think I'd use the word "dated", MM. It was good when it came out, but the newer installments just improve on it so much.

And I would, but I'm playing it on xbox. Maybe that's my problem.

Varrok · #**900** 06-09-2012, 08:39 AM

I don't know how it works, but I've heard (here, on OWF) that you can run mods on Xbox version. But not all. I guess the cooler ones don't work.

Also, PC version is dirt cheap in my country. There was a point the price equaled to a big pack of crisps (talking about Gold Edition)
