Toki Tori is awesome, but it made me feel real stupid real quick because I did not get very far into it before running into levels that made me go "how the fuck am I supposed to do this?!"

Got curious as I'd never even heard of this. Looked it up and it seemed interesting so I went to look for a demo and saw it was only 2,50$. I just took the plunge and bought it. Glad I did, cool little puzzler. So, thanks, I guess!

Impulse bought this on PSN today. The original MK is an absolute piece of shit of a game, but holy crap am I having a blast playing it! Nostalgia is a very powerful thing. Also, strangely, I am kind of enjoying the simplicity of having each character have only 2 special moves.

Jack! Long time you no see but now back is good! edit: wow. I think I was drunker than I realized when I typed that last night lol

Yeah, that really sucks. I went back to replay some chapters today, to try and find some more treasures before starting my hard run. And I couldn't find any way to buy skins or unlock guns or whatever. That was really cool in Uncharted 2.

it's not that I don't like it. I don't mind, really. I'm just not very good at making them. They usually end up looking... weird. I kinda wish I could post a screenshot of my attempt at making a femshep on PS3. My friend let out a very loud "WHAT THE FUCK" when I showed him. I just don't have the eye for detail necessary to match facial features that go well together. Also, in the case of Mass Effect, it just feels to me like default Shepard is the "real" one.

I kept the default name and face for my main run. I only make custom characters when I have no choice. Like in Dragon Age: Origins. I'm planning on eventually doing a custom femshep and try to go a more renegade way, but my main Shepard is the guy on the box.

Yeah, that's the capra demon. I somehow missed that area completely at first and was something like level 50 when I stumbled upon it, so it was a pretty damn easy fight for me. And I don't know what level you are, but the butterfly killed me the first time only because I had no idea what I was doing (and had no ranged weapon, so I figured I was screwed anyway). But it's actually pretty easy to beat.

Still haven't been able to get the PC version to not crash as soon as I launch it, but I should be getting my new HDD this week, so I should be able to play on PS3 after all

Started playing Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit a couple of days ago. Really loving it so far. Though it can be damn frustrating when you can't seem to shave off those last few seconds off your time for the gold Also, some of the modes are kinda boring. I mean, it's fine that as a racer you don't always get chased. I can understand why they would put regular races in there. But why the hell do I have to do what are basically time trials when I'm playing as a a cop?!

I wouldn't say it's watered-down; certainly not as a whole. It's just giving players more options. Yeah, exactly. I much prefer them offering different ways to play the game rather than just streamlining the shit out of it like they did Mass Effect 2. They should feel free to add an "action mode" for idiots who think the game should be less RPG and more shooty as long as it doesn't diminishes the "proper" mode.

That's some pretty diverse game preferences there... That's a side-effect of his medication.

The offer only applies if you buy a whole year. But the time stacks so if you think you'll end up renewing it anyway and you have the money there's really no reason not to do it. Ah okay, thanks for pointing that out. And yeah, I know the time stacks, but I really can't justify dropping another 50 bucks on this right now.

I did exactly that with this month's games. Didn't want to download Hydrophobia right away, but at least it's been "redeemed". I've been a member for less than a month and I already feel like it was absolutely worth it. I saved 10% on Code Veronica HD and I already got something like 5 free games that actually interested me. Also, the feature to have your PS3 turn on on its own and download any updates, upload your saves to cloud storage and sync your trophies is just amazing. That really should be a basic feature of the PS3 and not just for Plus subscribers, but I guess they need to add as much value to it as possible if they want people to actually subscribe. Kinda sucks that I missed out on free Jurassic Park by only a couple of weeks, though. Now I'm tempted to grab an additional three months just for it, which would be kinda stupid...

Uncharted 3. Overall pretty amazing game. It's better on a technical level and gameplay-wise (melee combat is an absolute blast), but I think I still find Uncharted 2 to be more entertaining. I think I'll let it sink in for a couple of days and post a more in-depth impression in the Uncharted thread.

So, tried to give it a shot earlier, and after waiting something like 20mins for steam to perform "first launch setup", I got to the launcher, created an account, clicked on "Start Game" only for the whole thing to crash in my face. Four times in a row. That's when I said "Fuck this shit" and logged off Steam. The end.

Yeah, I checked a few times yesterday and earlier today and it wasn't there. Seems to have been added tonight.

While everyone else and their mom are playing DCU Online (seriously, like half my friend list was playing it earlier!), I'm playing this because there's no way in hell I can free up 14 GBs on my PS3 and the Steam install is only 36% done I've actually wanted to try it for the longest time (especially now with my current DC craze, thanks to Arkham City and the comic DCU reboot). I came close to buying it retail a few times, but never did. Then it came out on PSN this week for 20$. I was kind of on the fence, but last month Sony had that "spend 60$ on the PSN and get 10$ back in november" weird promo and today I got my 10$ voucher. So I played the full game trial and after the hour was up I still wanted to play, so I used my free 10 bucks and only paid 9,99$ for it!

So, yeah. No way I could free up 14GBs on my PS3, not without upgrading HDD (which I'm long overdue to do). So for now it's PC for me. Yesterday the regular version disappeared from Steam, so I wasn't sure if it was going to be available there, but it showed up today. Downloading it right now but probably won't be able to play it until friday.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure Nightwing's only playable in the challenge rooms, not in the main story. I just grabbed it but haven't downloaded it yet. I was coming out of a marathon session of riddler trophy/challenge hunting (only one of the fuckers left!), so I wasn't in a hurry to install it. I figured I'd just start the download, turn off the PS3 and let PlayStation Plus do its thing while I sleep. I paid 50$ for the damn service, the least it can do is download and install my shit while I'm away Plus, I had a bunch of stuff queued up. Grabbed ME2: Arrival and got a bunch of free games from PS+. Oh, and the full game trial for MK vs DC, too! I've wanted to try it for the longest time. Anyway, if my copy of Uncharted 3 gets here late (or not at all ), then I'll probably dig into the challenge room stuff and give Nightwing a try tomorrow. If I do, I'll post my impressions.

Yeah, my logic for not blowing it up wasn't that we could use their tech. It was that we could study it to find out as much as possible about the Reapers.

This. Also, I was picking up riddler trophies last night and actually found a Batman one that, as far as I could tell, can only be reached by Catwoman. I'm not against the whole online pass thing, but seriously, if you're going to use it for single-player content, then at the very fucking least don't use it for content necessary to get 100% completion on the base game. The Catwoman chapters really don't add a whole lot to the story and can be skipped. Her trophies and content have their own progress section in the stats menu and don't affect Batman's completion %. But Batman has trophies he can't fucking reach himself? That's bullshit. Which one was that? I have nearly all the Batman trophies and so far I haven't needed Catwoman to reach any of his. It was in the Museum, but I actually went back with Catwoman today and once I was there I saw how Batman could've reached the spot Catwoman's way was just way more obvious.
