Hocking Posted May 20, 2011 Report Share Posted May 20, 2011 I've been working on a completionist Fallout 3 play-through the past few days. Previously I've used the mod that disables GFWL, but I figured the achievements would give me motivation to experience the entire game in a single run instead of doing odds and ends. I've managed to do all of the side quests, the main quest line up until reaching the Citadel & finally the Mothership Zeta DLC. I'm looking to tackle the remaining DLC before finishing off story. Although I think the UK release of L.A Noire today is going to put that on hold for the weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Battra92 Posted June 1, 2011 Report Share Posted June 1, 2011 I'm actually working on quite a few games at once, actually. Last night I got some time in with Kirby: Epic Yarn. My Gameboy Color time is spent with Zelda: Oracle of Ages (I'm debating on hunting down Oracle of Seasons) and my GBA time is spent with Sonic Advance 2.

Saturnine Tenshi Posted June 13, 2011 Report Share Posted June 13, 2011 Just started the first inFAMOUS. It's one of the free games I chose. Already getting repetitive... When I'm done with that, I'll begin SMT: Digital Devil Saga 2. It's a short game(20-30 hours), so it'll be easy to wipe off the queue.

WTF Posted June 20, 2011 Report Share Posted June 20, 2011 So I've been playing Alice: Madness Returns (PC version) and it's really nice. I bought it off of EADM right before they switched to Origin since I had a 20 quid voucher and I must say that I've been enjoying the game so far. I do feel bad that the game's been reviewed pretty crap. However the thing is this is a game that in some ways show that modern game aesthetics need to change. A game should not have to be 'easy' or fit in with current aesthetics to be reviewed high. An interesting example of this is Under Siege being reviewed as 5 because the game is too hard for the reviewer. I've tried the game and honestly I can say it's the best RTS on a console and even otherwise it is a fun RTS. It's a bit punishing in the sense that like a lot of older RTS games where you carry over an army being stupid does cost you quite a bit. I think for Strategy fans it's definitely a delight and if there are people who enjoyed the Myth games here - they should give it a go. Definitely one for those group of people. As for what I'm currently playing - PC Alice, The Witcher 2, Sins of a Solar Empire PS3 Outland, DLC fest (Castlevania, LA Noire DLC on wednesday, Stacking DLC later this week), Demon's Souls, perhaps the evil playthrough of Infamous 2 if I get some time and Shadows of the Damned later this week Wii Pikmin, Fragile Dreams 360 - nothing right now but will get to finishing Reach and Fable 3 at some point (somehow I'm just not too keen on either for a few months now).

deanb Posted June 20, 2011 Report Share Posted June 20, 2011 I've been playing MAG. Pretty damn enjoyable. It might do with a few more maps mind. Other than that it's standard shooty fare. It might be nice to access "Gadgets" easier, since those tend to be things that save your life like grenades, RPGs n healthkits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Battra92 Posted June 20, 2011 Report Share Posted June 20, 2011 I'm now officially over 1/3rd complete of Kirby: Epic Yarn. Other than the game being extraordinarily easy, it's a lot of fun. I'm sure my sisters will like it when I loan it to them. Oh and my fiancee has been playing Lego Harry Potter like mad lately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

excel_excel Posted June 23, 2011 Report Share Posted June 23, 2011 (edited) Darksiders on PC, an enjoyable mix of GOW and Zelda, combat is a little bit simple but new weapons are adding to it nicely. Ben there Dan that. Absolutly hilarious point and clicker. Pokemon Black. Doing the post game stuff, easily the strongest post game since Gold & Silver, just getting the Seven Sages now and catching Volcarona. Aaaaand Infamous 1 and also going to attempt to properly get into Demon's Souls again Edited June 23, 2011 by excel_excel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thursday Next Posted June 23, 2011 Report Share Posted June 23, 2011 Alice Madness Returns Shadows of the Damned Infamous (good playthrough) Need to finish Dead Space and play Dead Space 2 and then Infamous 2 and Demon's Souls all before BF3 launches and claims my soul...

deanb Posted June 23, 2011 Report Share Posted June 23, 2011 MAG - which has been pretty fun Far Cry 2 - Trying to find the good elements in it. There's many but they're so weighed down by the bad shit. Alpha Centauri - My little netbook game, so not so much. Playing as the University guys. Forgot how good this game was, they really need a new one. Shame EA own the rights. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WTF Posted June 23, 2011 Report Share Posted June 23, 2011 Shadows of the Damned this weekend hopefully. Alice hasn't been touched since Monday. Actually none of my consoles have seen any action this week... DLC marathon as well this weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SanaEquiesterer Posted June 24, 2011 Report Share Posted June 24, 2011 Facetious post incoming. Modding Oblivion is turning into a tedious game for me. I never played it past maybe six hours and didn't want to do a vanilla run, so I looked up a number of mods to try out and turned up with a lot. I've spent days downloading them and learning about load order, overriding, mod utilities, and dirty/wild mods and how to clean them. In the end I was left with such a mess that I've uninstalled the game and am starting from the beginning. It feels like a very annoying strategy game.

Strangelove Posted July 6, 2011 Report Share Posted July 6, 2011 Im replaying RE5 with Move. Pretty awesome. Takes the game from a solid 7 to a solid 8 in my book. To anyone whose played it: how do you get a lot of exchange points fast? Its going to take forever to buy all the unlockables. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toxicitizen Posted July 8, 2011 Report Share Posted July 8, 2011 Last week-end's X4 xp event made me get back into RDR and I played quite a bit of it. Only a few trophies short of the platinum now. Though I've taken a break from the old west for now and am mostly playing Burnout Paradise, and Might & Magic: Clash of Heroes. Clash of Heroes is pretty addictive. I have a hard time putting it down whenever I start playing. It's kind of like Puzzle Quest, only the combat isn't a complete ripoff of another game. It's also a bit more strategic.

WTF Posted July 8, 2011 Report Share Posted July 8, 2011 Clash of Heroes is made by Capy the guys who made critter crunch. Basically Clash of Heroes is HoMM lite plus Critter Crunch gameplay which makes it enjoyable. But I still wouldn't pay full price for it since HOMM 6 is out in September Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strangelove Posted July 10, 2011 Report Share Posted July 10, 2011 (edited) Dead Rising 2 is such a stupid game. The core game is super fun and theres a lot of fun shit to do, but they add a handful of save points and a time limit to try to appeal to the "hardcore" by making it "oldschool" and they fuck the game up in the process. Dying and restarting the game from the start is supposed to be "fun?" Really? You can totally make a game both fun and challenging, but you shouldnt take away some of the fun to ADD some challenge to it. Inafune, you asshole. Im glad I only paid 8 bucks for this game.

But I still wouldn't pay full price for it since HOMM 6 is out in September Yeah, I replayed some Critter Crunch recently so I recognized their name right away when I started playing Clash of Heroes. After only two games they are already one of my favorite casual developer. Critter Crunch is awesome! I really hope Sword & Sorcery EP makes it to PSN down the line. Though from what I understand, Clash of Heroes has nothing to do with M&M whatsoever and might as well not even be related to the series. I never played any other M&M games, though. But now I kinda want to look into it. Might be time to finally play that copy of Dark Messiah of Might and Magic that's been collecting dust in my Steam account for a while now.
