deanb Posted April 20, 2011 Report Share Posted April 20, 2011 There was a deal on in Chips or whatever of two for £XX. This looked like it could be fun, I'd never heard of it. Thankfully the sting is partially removed because the other game was Timesplitters It's a hack n slash. I'm not much of a fan, definitely not back then. I might maybe have a fair shot at it this time around, wonder if it's worth doing for summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr W Phallus Posted April 20, 2011 Report Share Posted April 20, 2011 I haven't even unlocked any of the TF2 items. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McBeeferton Posted April 20, 2011 Report Share Posted April 20, 2011 I remember getting SimCity Societies and instantly hating it. This is why I pirate PC games. Also there's a game on XBL called Elements of Destruction. I bought it without even downloading the trial for some reason. It succccccccccked.

TheMightyEthan Posted April 20, 2011 Report Share Posted April 20, 2011 I almost bought Too Human on day one, but luckily the shipment to my town was delayed so I rented it from Gamefly instead. Dodged a bullet on that one. As far as games I've actually bought, this one is the only one that comes to mind, but I'm sure there are others: It's not terrible but I lost interest in it very quickly, around the first boss.

AgamemnonV2 Posted April 20, 2011 Report Share Posted April 20, 2011 And then they axed the game a month later. Fucking Steam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deanb Posted April 20, 2011 Report Share Posted April 20, 2011 You're gonna have to explain the connection between "Fucking steam" and Cheyenne Mountain going bankrupt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AgamemnonV2 Posted April 20, 2011 Report Share Posted April 20, 2011 It should've never been sold on Steam. I have a creeping feeling everyone involved in making money off of that knew that it was going to be axed just a couple of weeks later.

TheMightyEthan Posted April 20, 2011 Report Share Posted April 20, 2011 To me it seems like blaming Steam for that is like blaming Gamestop if you'd bought it there instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AgamemnonV2 Posted April 20, 2011 Report Share Posted April 20, 2011 To be honest I'd blame what ever retailer sold that dud. I don't have much doubt that they were trying to make a quick buck as the ship was sinking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P4: Gritty Reboot Posted April 20, 2011 Report Share Posted April 20, 2011 Picked this up at Babbage's for $5 when I was young and innocent; turned out to be one of the worst games I've ever played. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
excel_excel Posted April 20, 2011 Report Share Posted April 20, 2011 Day 36 - A game you bought on a whim and you wish you hadn't. WE GOTTA TIE! Between Fallout 3 and Red Faction Guerilla.

TheMightyEthan Posted April 20, 2011 Report Share Posted April 20, 2011 See, I played the shit out of Fallout 3 (on 360, so no mods), sunk something like 300 hours into that game between all my characters, but I just can't seem to stay interested in New Vegas. The weirdest thing about that is that I actually like New Vegas better than Fallout 3, but for some reason I can't keep my attention on it. I managed to beat it once right after it came out, but I skipped a lot of the side stuff (partially on the assumption that you'd be able to continue playing after the end) and then both my attempts to play it again have petered out at about the 15-hour mark.

RockyRan Posted April 20, 2011 Report Share Posted April 20, 2011 GTA IV Complete. I really only wanted GTA IV by itself (waiting for it to be on sale for $5) to check it out, but then the Christmas sale came and they only had the complete version for $10. On a whim I bought that, assuming I'd at least like the base game. Too bad the entire thing ranges from "meh" to "bull". Should've waited to get the base GTA IV and be disappointed with just that instead of paying $5 more, hating the whole thing, and having more "game" that I'll never touch.

TheMightyEthan Posted April 21, 2011 Report Share Posted April 21, 2011 I honestly don't understand all the GTA IV hate, I fucking love it. Course I also think Vice City > GTA III > San Andreas, so maybe I just get something different out of GTA than most people. Also, do we have a Day 37?

P4: Gritty Reboot Posted April 21, 2011 Report Share Posted April 21, 2011 I honestly don't understand all the GTA IV hate, I fucking love it. I didn't like it specifically because of the performance issues on my PC. The stuttering made it impossible to enjoy, and I only got 5 or 6 hours into it. It also didn't really alleviate any of the issues from the previous games, such as poor shooting/movement mechanics and having to replay 5-10 minutes of the game if you mess up a mission at the very end. I did like the city a lot and the driving was solid. Story seemed like it was pretty cool but didn't get to finish it unfortunately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nexus Posted April 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2011 Day 37 - the hardest game you ever played Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P4: Gritty Reboot Posted April 21, 2011 Report Share Posted April 21, 2011 There are different types of difficult; there are games that are just broken, and there are games that are legitimately challenging. Also, I've found extremely hard games that give the player a chance to continually retry the challenge with no or little penalty are much more enjoyable while still retaining their difficulty. Super Meat Boy, VVVVVV, and Bit.Trip Runner come to mind as recent examples, so I'll go with those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McBeeferton Posted April 21, 2011 Report Share Posted April 21, 2011 I suppose that would be "I wanna be the guy." or "1,000 Spikes" on XBLA. Who could forget Super Meat Boy, which is the only one that I've mentioned that I actually bought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
