Hellooooooo, Wikipedia!

Havoc · #**1172** 03-01-2010, 10:44 AM

What about Wikipedia?

Wings of Fire · #**1173** 03-01-2010, 10:56 AM

I think he meant that he'll need to go to wikipedia to understand what Nikki is talking about.

T-nex · #**1174** 03-01-2010, 11:18 AM

Or maybe Wikipedia made a game!

OANST · #**1175** 03-01-2010, 11:24 AM

All of the above.

The Wikipedia Game is surprisingly fun, if you like reading and have nothing better to do.
http://wikipediagame.org/

Or the other Wikipedia Game, change all the links in one article so they link to something really obscure.

Munch's Oddysee, Bioshock and Obscure.

Bad Company 2, single player is a bit more linear than Id like, but multiplayer more than makes up for it.

Torchlight, Portal, HL2, Xcom: Enforcer, Xcom... (That's what I played today)

I found ages ago a really good Mario Flash game where you can make your own levels and save them to a Notepad. all in SNES style graphics.

Mario Flash

I actually got into the closed Beta of Lego Universe. I'll let you know how it goes, it's only open on some days.

Daxter King · #**1183** 03-11-2010, 06:10 PM

Played the Blur Beta a bit, its an alright game. The best was I can describe is if Need For Speed(Or any other racer close to that) and Mario Kart had a baby. Too much of the Need For Speed side for my liking.

The Just Cause 2 demo, game is really fun if you have some imagination. Think of a stunt, then do it. Really, really open game.

Also on a side note, I found out Ive spent over a month of my life playing Halo 3 multiplayer.

Mac Sirloin · #**1184** 03-12-2010, 06:44 AM

Just Cause 2 let's you freefall for over a minute, grapple onto the helicopter you jumped out of and fly back up.

That is why everyone should buy it. It's like Saints Row 2 x 10000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

Me too! It has a dramatic-sounding 'CODE OF SECRECY' and everything. Haven't played it yet, but I'm liking the plastic-as-currency idea.

dripik · #**1186** 03-12-2010, 09:27 AM

Just Cause 2 is starting to get relevant to my interests. Until then, it'll be G-Mod, which I'm buying today, if everything goes well. And there's the occasional TF2 and Portal.

Lacy Hemsmire · #**1187** 03-12-2010, 09:35 AM

Just finished playing Stranger's Wrath on my X Box. Because I'm one of the few people who is too cheap to get a 360. XD I'll probably go back to Abe's Oddysee or Silent Hill 2next.

The online hours thing is fucking annoying though.

T-nex · #**1189** 03-13-2010, 07:59 AM

Im playing Universe at war(by Petroglyph), which I) recently bought

.... only to find out it was like 75% cheaper another place or something like that <.< Ah no big deal. It's not like the price I bought it for was expensive, but I felt sort of cheated >: ( .

Well hopefully more of that money goes to Petroglyph. Or do they actually get the money beforehand?

Anyway, like all RTS games... I suck at it. But it's pretty fun so far.

This. On Saturdays I can only play from 8 'o' clock at night to 2 in the morning. WTF?

I managed to do all the quests in Avant Gardens (lol) so I'm gonna wait until they open up a new area before I log on again.

I do like that the controls and mechanics all seem pretty responsive, and they're actually trying to give the game a plot.

Josh · #**1192** 03-14-2010, 06:18 AM

I am in love with the Just Cause 2 demo.

Large explosive containers and grappling hooks: How real men get out of gunfights.

Epic pun. I think I might abstain until next Thursday. They're doing a big revamp so I thought it wasn't worth getting too familiar with anything yet.

I would be too, but it's missing something... Something like a big flashing message "You don't have Vista! Stop downloading now!".

After reading about the game and checking some videos, it was quite a downer to see the OS-related error mentioned above.

OANST · #**1195** 03-15-2010, 07:06 AM

Final Fantasy 13 (yes, I used actual numbers. Fuck off).

It's......different. I've never played a Final Fantasy game that was anything like it. It simplified it's battle system to the point where you almost just kick back and let the things fight themselves. You only control the party leader in a battle. Everyone else just performs the best action available to their class. That's where the fun comes in, though. You can switch everyone's classes on the fly. It doesn't even take a turn to do it. For that matter, neither does using items. Also, when the battle is over you will get all of your health back, and all status ailments will be cured. It's.....easy.

Have you heard that the game is linear? It's linear. Linear as in I've been doing nothing but running in a straight line for 16 hours. That's not an exaggeration.

None of that really matters, though. The game is fun. Mostly. My only real complaint is that I keep maxing my levels out waaaaay waaaaaaay before I should be. A large part of the fun in playing an rpg is leveling up. You can only level up so far in a given chapter, though. So, I max out all of my characters and think, "Okay. I must be getting near the end of the chapter." Wrong. Wrong. Three hours later I get to the end of the chapter. Finally, I can start leveling up again. So, I start using all of my experience points in my different classes, and what do you know? I max out every single one of my characters in one fell swoop, and I still have points left over. I now get to play through an chapter without being able to grow my characters.

Whatever you do, for the love of god, do not grind in this game.

Who are you and what the fuck have you done with OANST?

I'm not a massive fan, but I've played my fair share of Final Fantasy games. The last one that I played was 10. I didn't play 11 because I have no interest in MMO's, and I didn't play 12 because my PS2 is a piece of shit that only plays some games, plus I wasn't all that interested.

My favorite thing about 13 is that it gives me an excuse to constantly say, "Man, I've got to get some CP. I don't have enough CP", etc.

I prefer the nerdy-as-fuck-sounding "Time to go to the Crystatirum!"

Also, I was watching my friend fight the forest boss, and he whittled it down to about a quarter health, and went "If ever there was a time to summon Odin, it's now!" and we both kind of awkwardly coughed at just how goddamn nerdy that sounded.
