What are you playing right now? III -

Ridg3 · #**211** 06-23-2011, 01:43 AM

There. Just bought Fortresscraft. Now that is two craft games that I need to decide on which is better.

Dynamithix · #**212** 06-23-2011, 02:36 AM

Minecraft is also coming to the 360 later this year. I have a feeling that no one will buy Fortresscraft after that unless the makers add something really unique to it. How different is it than MC anyway?

Ridg3 · #**213** 06-23-2011, 02:41 AM

I'll probably buy Minecraft for the Xbox as well. Only because, as DI said, slouching on the sofa playing beats the shit out of playing at a computer. Regardless of how much I prefer PC gaming.

Dynamithix · #**214** 06-23-2011, 02:45 AM

Yeah, even if it was playing on a laptop on the sofa, controller is IMO better for some games.

Jordan · #**215** 06-23-2011, 08:37 AM

Just tried the Sonic Generations demo. It's fun, not so much like the classics but more so than Sonic 4. I think I could enjoy this a lot more. Looking forward to the full game.

JennyGenesis · #**216** 06-23-2011, 08:52 AM

I was totally excited for Sonic 4!!!!!

Then I played the demo.................

By the time chapter four of FC is out the only similarity the two are really going to have is the 'creation' aspect.

I started playing Oblivion again, hopefully it'll keep me going until Skyrim comes out.

I overheard this funny ass convo between two Imperials, talking about the Anvil chapel attack. One went "Did you hear? Anvil's priests and priestesses have been murdered."

Then the other literally shouted, "NOOOOO!!!" Then they started talking about wizards in Summerset Isle.

Ridg3 · #**219** 06-24-2011, 01:25 PM

Stopped procrastinating and finally picked up the controller again to finish games that I haven't yet completed.

Oblivion.
Assassins Creed: Brotherhood
Dragon Age: Origins
Dragon Age 2
Amnesia The Dark Descent

And others that are lying around the depths of my chest of drawers.

I've continued my snail's-pace journey through Rayman. I beat Mr. Stone. Fucking hell, Mr. Stone's Peaks was a fucking hard level. Seriously. Fuck. It's the kind of level you have to just know. I've been running it the last few days and today I just "clicked" and finished it losing only one life.

Eraser Plains is looking to be a fucking tough level. The pencil jumping is annoying as fuck, because the level designers seem to have felt the need to include low and/or inconvenient walls everywhere.

At least I can run now. I was getting sick of Rayman casually walking everywhere.

Mr. Bungle · #**221** 06-24-2011, 08:41 PM

Yeah, the original Rayman is one of the most challenging games I've ever played.

Phylum · #**222** 06-25-2011, 12:34 AM

I agree, although I'm finding the hardest parts to be the invisible event spaces that make enemies and platforms spawn. It's the kind of level design you have to learn, rather than just being challenging. It's not like I finish a set of levels the first time (or if I do I use up so many continues it would be pointless saving), though, so I don't really mind.

Jordan · #**223** 06-25-2011, 03:32 AM

Last time I played Rayman I gave up at Eraser Plains. It got far too frustrating. Those levels have always been a big problem for me, oh how I raged at them when I was a kid.

Phylum · #**224** 06-25-2011, 04:22 AM

I think the pencils you have to jump across change pattern slightly every time you die. You have to jump well rather than memorise patterns.

Mac Sirloin · #**225** 06-25-2011, 09:59 AM

I tried out the trenched demo. Very fun, has rather unique gameplay, and seems pretty deep for customization and such. Probably buying the full version when I have the money.

Phylum · #**226** 06-25-2011, 06:28 PM

I got Duel of the Planeswalkers for free after the PSN was taken down. I've started playing that whenever Rayman gets too much.

I'm fucking loving it. I wish I'd collected Magic instead of Yu-Gi-Oh when I was younger.

Dynamithix · #**227** 06-26-2011, 02:54 AM

For the last 3 days, I've been playing and trying out all sorts of iPod touch games. I don't get why many people like Angry Birds, it's boring. Only paid for it so that my mum can play it from time to time, she likes it.

Zookeeper Touch Edition, Army of Darkness, Osmos and Pig Shot are currently my fav. apps probably.

Rayman was amazing. Though all I remember was the music level and some guy in a purple coat.

I think that's the last boss, Mr. Dark or something.

T-nex · #**230** 06-26-2011, 10:27 AM

I remember my hours of frustration and crying when i was a kid and played rayman. I also remember fantasizing about kidnapping the rayman developers and torturing and interrogating them about why they'd make such an evil and frustrating game.

Wings of Fire · #**231** 06-26-2011, 11:26 AM

I remember the Tarzan Rayman dude.

And thinking this was a mediocre game.

T-nex · #**232** 06-26-2011, 12:52 PM

I actually loved Rayman despite all the rage.

Disgruntled Intern · #**233** 06-27-2011, 09:04 AM

rented saints row 2. pretty fun, definitely an improvement over the first. kastere, don't you own it? I'm probably going to buy it since it's so cheap. we should play.

I used to do the same thing over a very obscure PS1 game called Tank Racer.

Anybody else think the Challenge Tower in Mortal Kombat 9 is utter horseshit?

I have hated every moment of this stupid tower and I am tearing my hair out at #251. I've spent hours trying to pass it and despite help of the internet I still haven't done it yet.

What's pissed me off aswell is the fact that only in the past few days I have began talking to my ex again (we aint spoke since November) and he's told me that he has actually completed the entire tower. I've seen the achievement on his profile aswell so I know he isnt lieing.

I found it fun. But in my opinion it had way too many glitches! I don't have an interest in Saints Row The Third.

WARNING:SPOILER ABOUT FINAL MISSION

A friend needed help with the very final mission in the game. We become confused as the power boxes in the tower just wouldnt explode. So we reset the game and suddenly, the boxes wereactually blowing up when we shot at them.............

Dynamithix · #**235** 06-27-2011, 12:54 PM

That's barely a spoiler, hah.

Also, Jenny, I have a question for you. In the second mission of Blur, Event 5, how the hell can I get over 14 seconds time? I've tried most of the cars I have unlocked and I can't get to the boss fight because of it.

Any suggestions which car I should use?

(Sorry if the question's a bit strange.)

Mr. Bungle · #**236** 06-27-2011, 03:19 PM

Still playing Majora's Mask.

Did a number of things today, most importantly, the Kafei & Anju side-quest and collected three heart pieces in the same cycle. I'm now beating myself up because I forgot to save and go back to day one at the end of the final day, where the moon crushes the city. I assumed it automatically saved for you, considering I had never done anything important whilst letting the countdown happen. I'm such a moron.

I believe that's the one on LA Docks right? If so then its easy to do in any vehicle. I have even done it in the Ford F-150 SVT Raptor R (Off Road)

If you want it the easy way though try the Audi TTS Coupe. It's the worst car in the game but its great handling comes in handy but if you have the BMW M3 E92 (Tuner) then that would be a better choice.The best advice I can give is when given the choice beetween the two go for the stopwatches instead of the nitros. At the very first fork in the track go to the right. At the 2nd take the middle path. Thats the quickest way around the track.

Sadly for the 3rd time my data for Blur on the hard drive is corrupted so I was doing this event last night. I'm going back to unlock all the boss cars since I do like to use them online sometimes. Thank goodness the online side of things are not saved on your hard drive. I'd go nuts having to start from the begining again. That would mean loosing my rank of Legend X Rank 50 and loosing all of my upgrades and paint jobs on the cars (only 2 more cars left to complete before I have done every single one in the game)

Dynamithix · #**238** 06-28-2011, 05:14 AM

Ok, thanks, I'll try that as soon as I get back home.

JennyGenesis · #**239** 06-28-2011, 12:24 PM

Hope it helped.

Reguarding my progress on Mortal Kombat. I finally managed to beat #251 by blind luck.

I'm just stuck on #269 now. You gota play as Stryker and defeat 3 Shao Khan's. You get no power ups or health boosts either. Found a video on Youtube on how to do it and basicly you just need to keep doing Back Forward X or Square (depending on console) so Stryker keeps shooting his gun. It keeps pushing Shao Khan back and it prevents him from throwing his green spears as well. Sadly he is still able to throw his hammers no matter what so you gota jump over them. I've gotten close to killing the 3rd plenty of times but the bastard seems to catch me out with a hammer or his shoulder barge.

I've played through it limitless times and never have I come across a single glitch.
