Resistance 2 is awesome so far...and Gears of War 2 comes out on Friday which should be epic as well.

I kinda wish you could aim for the crotch in VATS. I'll have to settle for blowing people's legs off.

Unfortunately you can't target any body parts in VATS with melee weapons or unarmed. :(

Bob Danger 2008-11-11 06:11 PM

I just killed everyone in Tenpenny Towers.

Bob Danger 2008-11-12 12:04 AM

I was walking up a hill, in the southeast corner of the map when I see a red bleep on my compass, I see a molerat cress the top of the hill and quickly pull out my sword. As soon as I exit the pipboy I see this really large animal in the air come crashing down on this molerat. I instantly hit B, and as the pipboy screen is coming up I see this 10ft tall werewolf leaping through the air at me. I pull out my combat shotgun and instantly go into VATS. Two shots right to the face, nothing, this damn thing is knocking the shit out of me. I try to back up, rocks. I pull up the pipboy, Mini Nuke that jerk right in the face as he's slapping me around. Needless to say we both where killed.

What the hell.

Nick Koan 2008-11-12 07:49 AM

If it was on all fours and hairy, it was probably a Yao Guai.

JonnydaJibba 2008-11-12 08:49 AM

Yeah those guys are gnarly and will fuck you up if you don't pay attention. 2 shots to the dome with the snipe will kill them though.

Bob a guy at Game Force yesterday was telling me how his 10 year old son robbed everybody in Tenpenny (rich fuckers) and then let the ghouls go on them haha.

What level are you guys at?

I picked up Gears 2 yesterday. So bloody, so fun.

Nick Koan 2008-11-12 08:50 AM

I hit max level a few nights ago (20).

There is still so much to do. I think I'll finish up the main questline, and start a new character.

JonnydaJibba 2008-11-12 08:59 AM

Max is 20? That's wack. I'm at 14 or 15 now. Fuck that shit.

Ok, Fallout 3. Great game, yadda yadda. Everyone's playing it, so everyone knows how good it is. Although I do think there's a teensy bit too much gore in VATS combat. Decapitations get old after the 100th time.

Little Big Planet. . . I actually haven't played it. I passed it up so I could buy a copy of Bioshock for PS3 instead. I love Bioshock, so I don't regret the choice. I may request LBP for xmas, though.

Fable II. The actual title of this game should be something like, "The Real Fable 1." It's a good game, but it's so similar to the original in every way that it comes off feeling sub-standard when compared to other current-gen titles, particularly in terms of visuals. It's odd. I like the game because it's Fable, but compared to other new titles it's best described as, "meh, this is what they said the first one would be." It feels old already.

Tomb Raider Underworld (demo). Prompted me to cancel my reservation. I really liked Legend, but this feels like an odd step backwards. I may still pick it up when the price drops.

Mirror's Edge (demo). Three words: O. M. G. If they can maintain the quality of gameplay, level design, and presentation all the way through, this may actually rival MGS4 for my choice of game of the year.

And this one's old news, but I also picked up Uncharted: Drake's Fortune on PS3. Wow, talk about production values. Great gameplay and cinematics, unlockable bonus videos and artwork, and extra gameplay tweaks for re-plays. Naughty Dog really knows how to give you the most for your $60.

Mirror's Edge does look awesome. It would never play well on my laptop with so much eye candy, but PS3's will come down in price someday right? :?:

I finally beat God of War II last week (PS2) and picked up DIRT ($7) and Bioshock ($20) for PC. Oddly enough, BioShock plays well on medium settings, but DIRT, not so much. It's probably the video driver I'm running or just a crappy port. :?:

Yeah, I know. People are hoping that a DLC or a patch or something will change that. But then again, by level 20, you are fairly powerful in the game.

And the one thing that is nice, is that you don't exactly have to min/max your characters to make them effective all the way through the game.

No, it wasn't a Yao Guai, it was a Deathclaw.

I think I'm at level 8, and I just ran into my first group of Regulators.

Nick Koan 2008-11-12 12:22 PM

That was going to be my other guess.

JonnydaJibba 2008-11-12 12:25 PM

Bobby have you been enslaving people? That seems like something you would do. You get a pretty good cut for each person.

100_Percent_Juice 2008-11-12 12:37 PM

Would you guys quit going through this game play by play!!! Some of us have yet to experience it.

JonnydaJibba 2008-11-12 12:56 PM

We haven't really given away any crucial plot points or anything. Regardless of how you play the game, eventually you will visit the same place somebody else has.

You can enslave people?

M3n2c3 2008-11-12 11:40 PM

I'm only level 6 in Fallout 3; I have too many games to play at once. :eek:

Mirror's Edge is a lot of fun. Don't pay attention the numerical score it's been getting.

And the more I play Fable II, the more I'm convinced I need to hurry up and trade it in before the value drops.

POTENTIAL SPOILER...KINDA. YOU'VE BEEN WARNED...KINDA.
Yup. You need to visit Paradise Falls. It's NE of Minefield. Or N of Big Town, across the river. You'll figure it out once you go there. I wanted to keep doing business there, but I accidentally made a chicks head explode with the Mezzer and I was forced to kill the entire town. You'll find more out about that too.

Two of my friends who loved the first one have not only already beaten F2, but were bored before they did. They said that F2 is how the first one should have been, and that it's mostly a kiddie game. Another case of blown up expectations by idiot gaming periodicals.

I'm already playing the Left 5 Dead demo.

This thread stopped being funny.

sybir 2008-11-16 11:36 PM

At ~3:46 PM.

Nick Koan 2008-11-17 09:33 AM

Left 4 Dead has such a stupid name.

I probably wouldn't even consider getting it, except that Valve is publishing it, and I don't think they know how to do me wrong. I was thinking of grabbing the demo on Steam this weekend, but I haven't gotten around to it yet.

JonnydaJibba 2008-11-17 10:38 AM

It's not really that stupid. Would it be better if it was Left for Dead?

Nick Koan 2008-11-17 10:41 AM

Yeah, it'd be 3 times better.

100_Percent_Juice 2008-11-17 10:42 AM

I played it for about a 1/2 hour the other day and it was pretty much like a playable version of the movie 28 days later. I like it from the aspect that you have to play as a team and can't just wonder off because zombie swarms rush you and there is almost no way to fight them off alone. Your teammates also get tackled and need to be rescued or just left to die. I imagine that its going to get very repetitive so I don't think I would ever buy it.

You sure that's not "left 2 die"?

100_Percent_Juice 2008-11-17 01:08 PM

I can see that your on a high after finding out that your keeping your job. The game is called left 4 Dead because the story is based on 4 characters that you and other people play as.

tysonK 2008-11-17 04:07 PM

I read the about Mirror's Edge and I like the concept of that game.

Is m3n2c3 the only one playing it?

skimonkey30 2008-11-17 04:52 PM

call of duty world at war is awesome

Gears of war 2 was fun untill i tried the multiplayer. It immediately went back to game stop for trade in :lol:

We finally got a PS3, so I'll probably try that one before long.

What turned you off about Gears multiplayer?

As for Mirrors Edge, I think I might rent it. I've played the demo and it seems like it will be an awesome game, but I can't buy anymore for a bit. There are just too many good games out and I can't have them all.

I downloaded it, but haven't had time to try it yet. It's been getting good reviews - they all say playing with friends is a lot of fun.

Mirror's Edge is good fun. It's a pure platformer, made modern with the 1st person view and a true 3d space to move around in. It does take some practice, though. Most of the reviews so far blast it for the trial-and-error aspect, saying it upsets the flow of the game. Apparently they've forgotten that they didn't exactly breeze through Sonic the Hedgehog the first time they played it on Genesis. A key element of the gameplay is perfecting your runs through the levels.

I picked up Animal Crossing for Wii yesterday. It's still Animal Crossing, which isn't a bad thing. I already have a triforce constellation.

And I like Fallout 3 even more each time I play. :)

They've been phoning it in since before Burning Crusade came out.

slow gameplay, multiplayer game modes suck

I'm really used to the call of duty franchise so I base most of my personal comparisons off that. Which by the way Call of duty world at war multiplayer is sweet! Get 7 kills in a row and you get to "release the hounds" and send a pack of dogs after your enemies :lol:

JonnydaJibba 2008-11-21 08:15 AM

Huh, I feel the opposite of you about both games. :lol: CoD4 is/was awesome though.

Dewey 2008-11-21 11:10 AM

I actually didn't care for Gears of War at all. I did like Call of Duty quite a bit though.

Kunikos 2008-11-25 02:46 PM

Call of Doody, amirite? lulz

Everything out there right now is pretty lame in comparison to Fallout 3 IMO. OK, maybe not Left 4 Dead, but I haven't picked it up yet. I also want to pick up the new Neverwinter Nights 2 expansion pack.

AWDlaunch 2008-12-01 11:24 PM

anybody have COD World at War on PS3 and play online? My tag is SRTified.

MPREZIV 2008-12-29 01:58 PM

It's not that new per-se, but Mirror's Edge. Fucking sweet.

Just played the demo, that game is so cool looking.

Dewey 2008-12-30 12:10 AM

Just installed it. I also bought myself a christmas present... (Nvidia 9800gt w/ 1024mb ddr3 and 650mhz) So far it runs fallout3 at full settings flawlessly.
