Video Games?

Heavy Rain looks cool. The interesting thing is that your playable character can die and you'd continue on w/ a new one w/ a different perspective and story outcome.

You will play as multiple characters on the trail of a serial killer dubbed the "origami killer".

Gameplay looks to be similiar to Shenmue , it even has a version of quick time events. It's done by the team that did "Indigo Prophecy".

Indigo Prophecy was on the PC! Does that mean that Heavy Rain has a chance as well?:eek::)

If you want an in-depth article & interview(with lots of pics) about Heavy Rain, try to pick up Games magazine #87. It should still be on the rack at various stores(I picked mine up at a variety store). It is a good read, and there are a LOT of games mentioned in there. Besides PC Gamer, this is a magazine I will be picking up from now on.:cool:

[rockabilly]

A PC release looks doubtful , Heavy Rain is being touted as a PS3 exclusive .... at least for the forseeable future.

But w/ the high cost of game development you would think companies would want their games on multiple platforms.

[connie]

Just love them, have many systems and many games, currently running through left4dead2, replaying for the fourth time Fallout 3, Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2, Dragon Age Origins, Halo ODST, Super Mario Bros, MadWorld and No More Heros.

I agree. In fact, I am still waiting for Fable II to come out on PC. Heck, they released Fable I: The Lost Chapter for PC, why can't they release the second one?:(

[rockabilly]

Time constraints , They are working on Fable 3 and something for Project Natal.

It will probably be released later w/ all the dlc on pc next year.

I hope so. I bought the Collector's Edition strategy guide and I want to use it.;):lol:

There is an article on Fable III and Natal in the magazine I mentioned a couple of posts ago. I would check it out if you can find it, rocka.:cool:

[rockabilly]

Cool , I'll try and find it.

I subscribe to Game Informer.

That magazine has been around for a long time!

Basically the only magazine(strictly for PC) left is PC Gamer. Computer Games went belly-up and Computer Gaming World became online only. That sucks. I enjoy reading a magazine in MY HANDS.

[rockabilly]

Same here , I prefer holding a magazine. It saves paper being online only , but i donate my old magazines to the library.

Same w/ games , alot of cool ones are download only and when it comes to games and movies i like to have a physical copy to proudly display among my collection.

And with games, it is nice having the tangible aspects to it. The game disc, the manual, the map. All that adds to the total package in my opinion. Downloading a game(legally, of course) is just not the same. It ends up being just a bunch of files. Meh.

[rockabilly]

True , And alot of games have beautiful artwork on their covers.

I agree. Some of the cheaper games you can buy sometimes have crappy artwork, but I loved the ones for the Doom games. The majority of fantasy/RPG games have awesome covers as well.:)

[rockabilly]

Sometimes the box art was terrible , Mega Man on the NES is a perfect example.

Great game but the box art was beyond bad. Bioshocks art was beautiful .... that entire game was beautiful.

Bioshock was the closest I have ever been to playing an actual work of art. A truly breathtaking game.:cool:

right now im playing COD modern warfare 2.....and also Blazblue. if you know what that is haha. using a ps3....also waiting for bayonetta to come out. (spelling?)

[twistedone]

Playing Modern Warfare 2, and WOW. Think First Modern Warfare was more fun.

[rockabilly]

Modern Warfare 2 only has a 6hr single player campaign , but most people bought it for the multiplayer.

Playing through Mass Effect again in anticipation of pt 2.

And of course waiting for Bioshock 2 and Splinter Cell Conviction.

Only six hours? Since I only play single-player games, that would not be a good value for my money.:(

[twistedone]

I too am a die hard single player fan. For me at least, I don't think I got a bad value with Modern Warfare 2.

What did irritate me with Modern Warfare 2, is that your required to download "Steam" in order to play it.....even in single player mode. My face was redder in anger than some of the blood you see while playing the game.

[rockabilly]

Yup 6hrs ... at $60 thats $10 an hour. :(

Most games are focusing on multiplayer now , but i still prefer good story driven gameplay.

[LadyboyJerker]

First I have to mention that I'm still a wrestling fan. Not watching the WWE product these days cause mainly it's a lot childish and that PG rating ruined many things. I watch TNA since 2006, now I'm waiting the one night only return (for now) of Monday Night Wars , TNA head to head with the WWS (as I call it, S stands for shit, WW - World Worst) and I'm excited. Hogan back to the buissiness but wait I'm in a topic about video games, lol.

I bought a PS2 back in the 2004-2005 mainly for the wrestling games but as above said, it is addictive and I started playing more and more games. Now I have about 100-200 games for the PS2, another console I have is PSP and I'm playing rarely on it, mainly on the PS2 when bored. I use the PSP for music, videos, wi-fi etc.

One thing about Steam is that if it ever went belly-up, they(the company in charge of it. I cannot recall their name at the moment.) would make it so all the games would no longer require Steam to either play or install. Too many companies have gone bankrupt and the owners of the game(s) are SOL because of either no new patches being released for a game with a buggy release(Temple of Elemental Evil is a good example) or no tech support for any issues that may arise.

I'm not sure where you're from, but you may want to check out the next Raw or two. Bret Hart is going to be the guest host for a Raw, and that should be interesting. I never would have thought that this would happen especially after Owen Hart passing away a few years ago. I guess it's true what they say. Time heals all(or at least most) wounds.;)

Yeah I knew that weeks agobefore they announce it. There are also rumors that Scott Hall and X-Pac would be at the live iMPACT. And the talks with RVD and Flair to join TNA continues. Anyway, mate, maybe we should do a topic about wrestling here, because this is still a topic for video games.:respect:

Sounds good!:respect:

With regards to wrestling video games, did you ever play that WWE game on the N64(the name eludes me at the moment)? It was great! I liked playing as Razor Ramone...probably because his was one of the few finishers that I could do!:lol:

For N64 I remember No Mercy, Wrestlemania 2000, War Zone, Attitude as of WWF games. No Mercy is the one that much popular but I also like the WCW game WCW/nWo Revenge. First because of the roster and second the controls were like No Mercy.

I believe it was WCW/NWO Revenge then. I recall using Sting's "call" that got the crowd fired up. And Randy "Macho Man" Savage. Maybe it wasn't Razor Ramone, but Scott Hall. Either way, it was played quite a bit. Good game.:cool:

I got call of duty 4 for christmas does anyone have this game perhaps you can me some help getting out of the Achievement Tutorial i am still stuck in...
is there a curtin amount of time i need to beat?.i think this will be

Check out sites like Game Banshee, ones that have game walkthroughs on them. I got some Baldur's Gate tips from Game Banshee, so I am sure you'll find what you are looking for. Plus, they are good for either getting patches when they come out, or for letting you know what bugs there are and potential ways around them(if a patch hasn't been released yet). Gamespot or ign may be good ones as well.

[DSL]

Thanks i think there is a time stamp on that game the training corse that is.
a friend of mine at work told me his son said you need to make it outta there
in 30 seconds or less and hit every target as fast as you can.
it all most looks like one of those seal team games right down to the night vision glasses.

I hope that you're able to get past that area. I hate games where you get stuck unless you possess god-like reflexes. Would there be a cheat code that would help you if you end up continually stuck? Better to cheat than toss the game away in disgust I say.

[rockabilly]

I hate time trials and escort missions.

Especially when the AI is dumb as (expletive deleted) yeah just stand there while getting shot , or run around in circles ... TAKE COVER FOOL!!!

[DSL]

Well i manage to shoot down a enemy helicopter gunship! in the server mode
i used a 50 cal. belt machine gun to take it out. plus 6 on the ground
with my sniper rifle before an enemy tank fired thru a window with his 50
and took me out the graphics in this game are very realistic.

The AI can be sooooo frustrating sometimes, especially in Real-Time Strategy games.

[rockabilly]

And i enjoy playing stealthy. I literally hide in the shadows and watch enemy patterns then grab the guards , knock them out and hide them in the shadows that i grabbed them from.

I really like the Splinter Cell and Metal Gear games. The Tenchu ninja games used to be very good but now ... meh.

I love the Chinese stealth suit that was in the Fallout 3 game of the year edition. All my stats are at 100 except barter and unarmed ... they are at 75 .

Sounds like you would enjoy the Thief series as well as Assassin's Creed(number 2 should be out soon, if not already).:)

[rockabilly]

I've played Assassins Creed and pt 2 is out now.

I loved Thief-Deadly Shadows on original X-Box , and they were supposed to remake the original Thief but set it in modern times. I think that project got cancelled but rumor is a new Thief game is being worked on ... Bethesda wanted to get the rights to the series.

I heard that rumor as well. I think there may have been mention of it in one of the recent computer magazines, so it may be a multi-platform game.

[rockabilly]

I hope so ... Just imagine if Bethesda got the Thief franchise.

They would have Fallout , Elder Scrolls and then Thief! That would be quite a catalog of games to work with. But Bethesda is a great studio and they put alot of work in all their games.

Now i just need them to announce a new Deus Ex game and i'll be in heaven.

Again, I heard a rumor in one of my recent PC Gamer magazines that it was supposed to be in development in the near future.

[jdawg]

I bought Borderlands and I've never been more disappointed in a game. It is so fucking repetitive and boring. I paid 64 bucks for such shit and haven't gotten a response to any of my craigslist ads to buy the game.

The biggest lowpoint is the damn respawning enemies. This is what makes a game repetitive because once you clear out 10 enemies, once you leave and come back you must clear out the same enemies. This gets very boring fast.


The other lowpoint is the easy boss battles. I fucked up on sledge and died multiple times before realizing that of you just run circles around him, he dies quickly. That's how every boss battle is. Skagzilla was probably the easiest big thing I've ever beaten in a game. Just jump when he's about to land. Its too easy.


Its gotten mildly better as you go along, but its still just an average game at best. Sorry for the rant.

[rockabilly]

Have you played through it a second time after beating it?

You keep your weapons and level from the start and can then max out your weapons and character. Then if you go for a third playthrough all the enemies are harder but drop better loot.

I'm anticipating the next Fallout game.

[shadows]

Bioshock 2 is now going to have a Collector's Edition as well as the regular version.

Needless to say, I changed my pre-order to the CE.:cool:

[rockabilly]

It's just 2 extra multiplayer character classes and an art book right?

If it was as cool as the first collectors edition or Fallout 3's collectors edition then i'd get it ... if not then the standard edition is fine.

It sure as heck better be more than just that, as the cost is $40 more than the standard edition!:censored:

I may have to look into this, as I am not paying that much for just an art book(I don't play multiplayer, so the extra character classes are useless to me). Gimme stuff I can hold in my hands, not useless things like extra characters or an extra item(such as you would find from Dragon Age, Two Worlds, Hellgate:London, etc.)

Rocka, I just checked out Amazon.ca and it looks like there are a few more extras than that.

It comes with:

-Vinyl 180g LP with Bioshock orchestral score
-Audio CD with Bioshock 2 orchestral score
-Three vintage Rapture advertisement posters(rolled)
-Bioshock 2 Artbook, 164 pages and hardcover

Here is a picture:

I'm a sucker for soundtracks for the games, and this one has one for both Bioshock 1 and 2. If these are the goodies it comes with, I will still get the CE.:)

[rockabilly]

That's cool , but i would have loved a "Big Sister" figure to go w/ the "Big Daddy" from the first game.

[shadows]

That's cool , but i would have loved a "Big Sister" figure to go w/ the "Big Daddy" from the first game.

I think because they had so many problems with the Big Daddy figurines from the Bioshock 1 CE, they didn't want to risk it happening again. A lot of the figurines ended up with their arms being broken off during shipping and they had to return them. It probably cost them a lot of extra money because of this.

[rockabilly]

The tip of the drill was broken on mine , but i just left it in the package anyway.

[shadows]

Yeah, that was the part I was talking about(although a few arms were totally broken off as well). I think a lot of people wanted them for their collectability and did not want a broken item(since the CE was pretty darned expensive). The drill on mine is intact, but I still left it in the package as well. It is sitting on top on the shelving around my television in my front room.:respect:

[rockabilly]

I was dissapointed w/ the Fable C CE.

Originally it was gonna have a Hobbe statuette , Tarot Cards , and the Halo Armor dlc and extra arcade games.

When it came out all it had was the dlc and a different cover sleeve and making of dvd.

LAME , as they maintained all the stuff was included untill 3 weeks before launch.

I heard about that. Was it like that everywhere, or just in certain parts of the world(I know that sometimes the European versions of CE vary from the US or Canadian ones)?

Wouldn't that be a pisser if they released a Fable 2 CE for the PC and it had all the extras that were originally listed as goodies for the XBox version?:eek:

[rockabilly]

As far as i know they removed all the physical items from all releases and just did the dlc bonuses. :(

When Fable 2 comes to pc it will more than likely just be the game and all the dlc expansions.

You're probably correct. I don't think they would want to alienate any of the fans who bought the game for the Xbox 360, and doing something like that would be a good way to do it.

Personally, I would be happy if Fable 2 came to the PC period(with DLC added, of course).:)

[rockabilly]

I'm sure it will , i bet it will come out when the platinum hits version for X-Box goes on sale .... or just after.

Should be soon , Fable 2 is over a year old now.

They have to sell over a million copies first.
With work already begun on Fable 3 which will be much bigger .... You've beaten the bad guy saved the world and been crowned King , now what ? In Fable 3 the ending is only the begining , now comes bigger decisions .... do you go to war w/ neighboring countries , raise taxes , rebuild your cities or build a bigger castle ... be careful or the people will revolt.

It sounds ambitious and like a rts hybrid.

That's Peter Moleyneaux's biggest problem , he talks about what he'd like to put in the game but when they program it they realize it was too ambitpious.

He makes alot of promises about gameplay and a.i. but it fails to live up to the hype. Don't get me wrong Fable 1 and 2 are good games and fun to play but he really needs to wait until later in the development period before doing interviews.

Unfortunately, I don't have time to play on two different systems(my Gamecube is basically just collecting dust as it is). Maybe if I see a cheap one at a garage sale or something I'll get one.

[rockabilly]

Be careful not to buy a busted one.

The red ring of death is still a problem for older systems.

The newer systems have a better motherboard and larger heat sinks so the red ring of death is hopefully in the past.

It's the biggest design flaw since that exhaust port on the Death Star.

I've heard many tales of the red ring of death(overheating? How could something that big get through quality control? Oh wait a sec...it's Microsoft and it was Christmas...all they cared about was selling as many units as possible for the Christmas bonanza). Isn't there a lawsuit going on with regards to that problem?

Was it the regular XBox that had the problem, or was it both the XBox and XBox 360? You would think the system would have went belly up due to people no longer buying one of those systems(especially since Microsoft originally said there was no problem), but I guess the buyers wanted that system.

[rockabilly]

I never heard of original X-Box overheating problems but the 360 was just rushed out.

People really love their X-Boxes , Halo had alot to do w/ creating a loyal fan base.

My original X-Box was a launch system and never once had any problems , i traded it in to get a 360 and had no problems w/ it ... then i traded it in because i wanted the Halo limited edition console.

I still don't own a PS3 but honestly , w/ my 360 and Wii and my PS2 i don't need one.

I'm glad that you were lucky with regards to working XBoxes.:)

Heavy Rain , and a $200 or less PS3. lol

And thanks , i've been lucky when it comes to buying consoles.

The only one i had any trouble w/ was my PS2. It kept getting disc read errors , so i had to get a new one ... but that was years ago.

[shadows]

The system that I had the most trouble with were my C64's(I ended up with more than one). I cannot remember how many times the games would not work in certain machines, yet would work in others. I got Knights of Legend for Christmas, and it kept on crashing the C64(combat could take upwards of a half hour or more and it would sometimes crash midway in combat. Needless to say I never finished the game)! Some games would load fine, and others would not read at all and the machine's red light would flash on and off constantly. Yet I would try the game in a different one and it would work. They were quite finicky.

[rockabilly]

Remember the old "blow on the cartridge" trick w/ the NES ? lol

If it wouldn't load just blow it and shove it back in (did that sound dirty?) lol

Sounds dirty for sure, but it worked wonders! I don't know how many times a NES game(of which I still have a bunch of over in my parent's basement) would end up working after using that trick. They sure were dust-magnets, weren't they?;)

[rockabilly]

But they were very durable. I still have both Legend of Zelda gold carts.

But i have all the Zelda games on a Gamecube disc.

I don't think I have that Gamecube one. It has every single Zelda game up to that point? How many are there in total(I may try to find it, as I have a Gamecube), and what are the names of the games?

I am almost certain that if I took out the NES that it would still work and so would all the games. A good system with a ton of excellent games.:respect:

[rockabilly]

It has ...
1. The Legend of Zelda
2. Zelda 2 - Link's Awakening
3. The Legend of Zelda - Ocarina of Time
4. The Legend of Zelda - Majora's Mask

and a demo of The Legend of Zelda - The Wind Waker

I had hoped for the SNES Legend of Zelda but since they had just made it for the GBA they didn't put it on the compilation disc.

There were 2 ways to get it either subscribe to Nintendo Power or buy a Gamecube that had it packed in as a freebie. I bought an extra Gamecube and gave my old one away.

I just found out that you need a fucking hard drive to import your mass effect save to the new mass effect. This is just fucking great. I spent 40 fucking hours playing a game trying to put my own touch to it for the new game and its all wasted because I don't have a damn hard drive.



I'm going to get the game anyways, but I guarantee bioware will make shitty decisions for me and I will be stuck with Ashley being my live interest while Wrex is fucking killed etc. ME2 became just another game as its certainly not the same if your decisions are made for you. The least Bioware couldve done was fucking give you an option list at the very beginning of this new game so I could make the major decisions over again.


I'm tired of the electronics industry making people feel like they must be rich to enjoy shit. Everything is so goddamn expensive and still the gaming industry thinks that everybody has a hard drive or make games clearly focusing on online play even though many gamers don't have wifi. Just going by personal experience, many gamers aren't these rich people with every damn hookup ever. Its why there is a huge underground pirate community, because many gamers can't afford 60 bucks a damn game.

Sorry for the rant, but I really despise this kind of shit.

I understand your frustration, jdawg, but perhaps they will let you choose your characters at the beginning of Mass Effect 2?:confused: I'll admit that I have not followed any of the media regarding ME2, so I don't know if that is feasible or not.

I'm assuming that this is just a factor for the console version?:(

[rockabilly]

That does suck , and Wrex probably is dead if you don't import him since a new Krogan is introduced in the game.

That's one reason i wait on price drops. I have a harddrive w/ my 360 but very little storage space on it. It will only get worse though as the next generation of consoles could be download only systems. :(

You may be able to buy used 360 harddrives at local game stores since alot of people bought larger ones and transferred their stuff onto the bigger drive.

[shadows]

I am glad that I don't have to deal with that on the PC.:(

Of course, that isn't necessarily true either. I remember in the expansion pack for Neverwinter Nights 2(the expansion was called Mask Of The Betrayer) some of the characters were killed at the end of the game(which cheesed me off)! There was one in particular that I was really fond of that was one of the killed-off characters! I won't say who it is as I don't want to spoil anyone(I highly recommend both games!).

[jdawg]

So apparently there will be an opening scene to ME2 for those new to th game so they can make decisions from the first game to create a background story going into the new game. Sounds good and I'm willing to bet its in the game because many fans don't have a hard drive and can't import a character.


The first reviews have come out and apparently this game is an awesome cover shooter. One review said it actually beat most cover shooters and only fell short of Gears and COD. Could you imagine Mass Effect having such an amazing storyline with the gameplay of top shooters? This might be the best game ever if that's the case.


Red Dead Redemption seems to be in trouble. Apparently thwy have a budget of a $100m and will need to sell 5 million copies just to break even. Plus, the game seems to be a mess. This would suck if the game was bad. I was hoping it would bring the western genre into the mainstream.

Apparently decisions you make in Mass Effect 2 can cause any character to perish, including Commander Shepard!:eek: That is pretty intense!

This tidbit of information can be found in the February 2010 issue of PC Gamer.;)

[jdawg]

I was reading the bioware forums and the thinking was that if you just go throuth the main story, you're while team is probably going to die. I'm guessing that if you go theough the main story and do a healthy amount of side missions, then you'd be fine.


The pc gamer makes it out to be that if you make one wrong decision, you could be screwed. If that's the case, I think most of the people will die. That oughta sell a few guides to go with the game.

[rockabilly]

You would think that a GTA style game in the old west is a no brainer.

Gun was ok but way to linnear same w/ Red Dead Revolver. I hope the game does well since good Western games are rare.

You could be right. It wouldn't be the first time that an event was hyped and then it turned out to be something totally different.

[jdawg]

:Spoiler Alert:














So there's this video that shows Legion being carried by Shepard and Legion also running towards the Normandy in another scene. Who is Legion? Legion is a geth that has evolved and is smart. Apparently he follows you around and there's been a ton of speculation that he might be a squad member. If he is running towards the Normandy, I think we can guess that he will be a squad member.


I have the new oxm and have read the review. Here's the highlights.



There is no Mako. Instead of that crappy vehicle you get this shuttle that drops you off at an important point of the planet.


The characters are amazing. They liked your squad members and each character has a long history. The missions involving the characters are very good and some don't end well.



Scanning planets is boring. So you can now scan planets, but its boring. It does look futuristic though which is cool.


No more looting. Now you can build your gear using the lab. You don't get to hack into crates and stuff. I don't mind it, but many might.
Overall it sounds amazing.

[rockabilly]

Awww you didn't like the Mako?

I loved using it to ram enemies and jump on top of them and jumping oncoming enemy lasers. lol

[jdawg]

The controls were difficult and made it a pain to drive. I loved ramming enemies though and climbing to the top of mountains and jumping to the bottom.


Apparently they have a new vehicle that comes with the free dlc. I need to find a friend with a computer so I can download this stuff.

[rockabilly]

I found it easier to handle than Halo's Warthog.

[jdawg]

If any of you guys can download games, then you guys should be able to find mass effect 2 on some torrent sites. The game has been leaked and its all over the game forums and stuff.

F:censored:king pirates are why the PC market sucks so bad right now and we get a lot of shitty console ports. Also, it is a reason why we cannot exchange our PC games like the console gamers can.:rolleyes::no::censored:

As for Brink, I have never heard about it before. What is it about?

[rockabilly]

Piracy sucks.

[shadows]

Yeah, and I don't really see how it can improve anytime soon. The PC game makers(or distributors, whoever places the copy protection on it) try many forms of copy protection to curtail piracy and they are just not working! I do NOT like DRM on my games as it affects my CD player. Also, games(Spore, for example) have the "best" forms of DRM currently available and yet they are released on torrents before the freaking game is even released!

Why should I, as a loyal customer who purchases all my games, be screwed over by overbearing DRM that affects my computer when the pirates themselves just circumvent said DRM and play the game hassle-free? It just pisses off the customer, and some of them may decide to just give up playing games on the PC and buy a console instead.

Something needs to be done, but the current way they are going about things is certainly NOT effective.

One thing I think they CAN do to slow down piracy is make good games that are not full of bugs when they are released. Too many times they rush a release before the game is even finished and the gamer is the one who gets screwed over. A patch being released a day after the release is unacceptable. A patch being released to fix balancing issues or other things like that(which may not be caught during playtesting) or a rare bug or two is fine, but to have the game in an unplayable state(a bug that causes something to happen that makes the game unable to be completed) upon release is UNACCEPTABLE!! Wake up publishers and developers!

[rockabilly]

Not only that but the gamemakers worked hard to create that game and get screwed by the pirates ....*just had a mental flash of a pirate nerd orgy* .... uh where was i , piracy sucks.

[jdawg]

Brink is about global warming and you were part of this utopia and are probably the last people alive in the world. Food supplies are dwindling which is always going to create conflict. There are plenty of gameplay videos in youtube. It looks amazing.

[shadows]

Console only, I take it?:(

[jdawg]

Its for the PC as well.


Speaking of PC games, you guys are so lucky to get The Old Republic. I wish I had a PC damnit!

[jdawg]

Today I finally figured out that you should never trust online information until a game comes out. As you guys know I have no hard drive which makes importing a character in ME2 impossible. I pre ordered my game because I thought you get to make the ME1 decisions at the beginning. Wrong. They give you stupid default decisions that literally were the opposite of every decision I made. Let's take a look at these decisions.


Ashley was your romance and Kaiden is dead. I had Kaiden saved and Liara as a romance.

UDINA! Is a council member. I had Captain Anderson as the council member. Who the fuck would ever pick Udina?

Wrex is dead. I had him saved on Virmire.



I can handle Wrex dying, but everything else sucks. This is so disappointing.

[rockabilly]

Udina is a giant douche!

Was it possible to get two love interests?

I got both girls in Jade Empire , cause i got skillz ... mad dialogue playaz. lol

[jdawg]

You can try and get both, but only Liara will fall in love with you. I tried to get both in my first playthrough and they both come up to you and say "choose one of us". Ashley was not too pleased that I told her to go away haha.

[rockabilly]

I had that happen lol , how about the Quarrian girl ... can you get her as an interest?

That would be .... different.

[jdawg]

Apparently, you can have Tali as a love interest in ME2. I read somewhere that she takes off her mask, but its unclear if you get to see her face. I heard that her and Miranda were the 2 female love interests. Also you can stick to the original. Since I'm stuck with Ashley, there's no way I'm not picking a new love interest.

Too bad there wasn't a way(without the hard drive option) to just choose which characters you want to "continue" with into ME 2. By this, I mean options in the setup screens. Would that even be feasible or would it be too hard for the developers to do?

It's a shame that they chose this route with regards to characters, as Bioware is usually pretty good towards their fans.

[rockabilly]

Sorry but you need a hard drive especially since Mass Effect will be a trilogy and you can bring all your data from 1 and 2 into 3.

I deleted my first ME save and will have to replay pt 1 before i get 2 , but i'm cool w/ it since it's a great game.

[Tread]

Was it possible to get two love interests?

Not at the same time.

I got both girls in Jade Empire , cause i got skillz ... mad dialogue playaz. lol

I never liked Dawn Star and refused her sooner or later.
Only in my first game I let it open until the temple, but didn?t get both because I thought I have to choose.

[rockabilly]

In Jade Empire if you play as a guy and reject both girls you can then choose Sky (the guy in blue) and be a gay couple.

[Tread]

After playing JE as female and getting Silk Fox, I tried it as male with sky, but for some reason never until the kiss.
I guess the scene would fade to black as the lesbian one.

There were always rumours about part 2, but I sadly doubt it will come out.
I think it hasn?t sold very well. The hardcore Bioware fans were disappointed from the role play depth, and for many others it was to far away from the mainstream settings.

[jdawg]

I was reading that the Natal is going to be a huge release. Is anybody else NOT excited for this? I will buy it, but I really hope video games don't all become like the Wii. I like controllers and really don't feel like having to move off my couch of I'm honest. It has nothing to do with laziness and everyhing to do with getting comfortable while playing a game.

I dunno, maybe I will enjoy the Natal, but for now I'd rather stick with the controller.

[rockabilly]

A Jade Empire sequel could happen after Mass Effect 3 , i hope EA doesn't get an inhouse studio to churn out a sequel since EA and Bioware are partners. Maybe Bioware would pass it to a good team and use the Mass Effect 2 game engine.

As for Natal , we will see. Add ons don't sell too well no matter how much functionality they have. My guess is it will be bundled w/ a 360 or be integrated w/the next console.

EA owns Bioware, and I hope they don?t change Bioware?s game quality to one part per year/series, or as many Add-ons as possible strategy to get the biggest volume of sales/series no matter what quality the game has or if it?s finished or not.



Natal will not be more as a nice gimmick and gaining experience in new interface usage (in my opinion).
For a real good game feeling, I think, the current real time video recognition is not developed far enough. The movement has to be conveying one to one without time loses, or a human brain will notice that something is wrong. It?s a bit like the Wii or SIXAXIS, you never feel that you have 100% control of it, because you only get visual feedback. The brain needs physical feedback and if it?s only the feeling that you pushed a button.
When the brain really has internalized a steering/controlling, the brain uses the physical feedback and treads the mouse/keyboard/controller/steering wheel as a part of the human body (like blind people feel their blindman?s stick as their extended arm and not as object), you totally forget that you have something in your hand to control the game.

But with the state of the art technique (Natal, 3D Screens) it would be possible to create a ?Minority Report? like interface witch would be cool to use.

[shadows]

I'll be picking up Mass Effect 2: Collector's Edition along with the CE version of the strategy guide on Thursday. It is going to end up costing about $130 after taxes(I hate tax!), but it should be worth it!:)

[jdawg]

So you CAN import a character using a memory unit. I just imported my character and am on the first mission at the colony. This game is amazing so far.

[rockabilly]

Awesome jdawg , let us know about the gameplay but please keep the spoilers to a minimum.

[shadows]

Awesome jdawg , let us know about the gameplay but please keep the spoilers to a minimum.

Yes please. I still have to play Mass Effect 1 before I can even get into ME 2.:eek:;):)

[jdawg]

I promise not to post anything about the story. I would never try and ruin a game for people.


Anyways, the combat has improved and the cover system is pretty good. You can vault over cover, but can't dive from cover spot to cover spot. It seems as though they took a lot from Gears, which is never a bad thing.


The characters are improved as well. The characters in the first game were kinds boring. The first 3 characters I encountered all seem to have a huge history which will probably make for some good character missions later in the game.


This game was worth the wait. Its visually stunning with great combat and a damn good story. Everybody should buy this!

Wow! There was a lot of dust collecting in this thread. Thanks for giving it a Spring cleaning, Postman.:)

I recently completed the entire Bhaalspawn saga for Baldur's Gate. Starting in Baldur's Gate 1(in Candlekeep) as a weak-as-a-kitten Level 1 Fighter, I eventually evolved into a powerhouse Level 40 Fighter, able to fell Fire Giants, dragons, and other Bhaalspawn! I successfully completed the Jaheira romance(as fellow Baldur's Gate players know, it was the hardest one to complete) , and I chose the higher road at the end.

Love Mass Effect 2 on the 360, lots of choices. Imported my female shepperd, but have had no luck in romance with the female characters yet. In the first, I choose Liarra. Also replaying BioShock, new content for Left4Dead 2, Arkham Asylum, Resident Evil 5, and trying to level my level 56 hunter up to 61 in Borderlands so I can kill Crawmerax. Busy busy busy. Looking forward to Red Dead Redemption.

[rockabilly]

Oh and i finished Assassins Creed 2 , i hope they do an Assassins Creed game in feudal Japan or during the Spanish Inquisition (nobody would expect that) but the concluding game should be in modern day w/ Desmond as the playable character , no Animus moments unless used to unlock new abilities or to solve puzzles.

What are some good gaming laptops or powerful laptops that can handle gaming? I'm not a desktop person at all so a laptop is a must. Everybody says Alienware, but I went to customize a computer and their shit climbed the price scale fast. I'd like something below $2,000, but maybe the reason why the m15x climbed the price scale so fast is because I don't know what I'm doing and choosing upgrades that are just fine as it is.

I am looking forward to trying out the new features! I finally started playing Fallout 3 a couple of weeks ago(I know, I know, why did I wait so long?;)) and I am HOOKED!

I enjoyed Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion a lot, but I got tired of it after a while(I tried to do all the miscellaneous quests first, as I pretty much abandoned the main quest right after escaping from jail). I may try to finish it sometime, but not for a while.

However, with Fallout 3(even though it has the same engine as Oblivion) I cannot get enough! The ambiance is amazing! I love walking through the post-apocalyptic world and seeing all the interesting locales(and getting into fire-fights with hungry mutants and Raiders). Like Oblivion, I have not gotten very far with the main quest, but I have not gotten tired of the game yet.

I only have it on mid-level settings and it still looks phenominal! I wish I had a super-rig just to see what it looks like with full settings.

Such a good game!:cool:

[shadows]

Thank you for the offer Shadow, you make this poor girl blush.

No problem Connie.:)

[SweetCharmer]

with the VGAs here a lot of games had a chance to show case one of which being Prototype 2..


BUT NONE GOT ME MORE FIRED UP THAN MASS EFFECT 3 PEOPLE!!!!!
:respect::respect::respect::cool::cool::yes::yes:

this has been the game i've been waiting for and now since i moved over to PS3 hearing that an ultimate version of mass effect 2 coming to the PS3 with all DLC i'm over the moon

[Enoch Root]

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, motherfucker!

Now if only they would make The Elder Scrolls: Valenwood goddammit! Bosmers for the win.

[shadows]

I haven't heard anything about Elder Scrolls V yet. Perhaps that is why they sent Fallout New Vegas to Obsidian rather than work on it in-house?

[Enoch Root]

Smart money says yes.



Go to gametrailers and search for Skyrim, watch the video and be happy, for you are home at last. Lots of white people in Skyrim.

I'd love to get back into gaming but there's just not enough hours in a day for me anymore. :(

Elder Scrolls V - Skyrim looks amazing though.

[Rachel]

They made the zombies too hard on the new Call of Duty.

[Trogdor]

Regular on Runescape.

I also like many of the old games, Demons to Diamonds being a favorite.

Nice to see you back, rocka. Hope you're doing well.:hug:

I finished Fallout 3 yesterday. I am going to install the 5 DLC's from the GOTY edition and start the game over again. What an awesome game!:respect:

I also downloaded the Unofficial patch for it(it fixes bugs not squashed by the official 1.7 patch) and am looking for a good weather Mod. I want to have rain(like in Oblivion), snow, fog, sandstorms, etc. as that would add a great level of ambience to the game.:cool:

[jdawg]

I've decided to get gamefly. It's so much cheaper than buying games. I will probably only buy from devs I like.

Has anybody caught any mass effect news? Since the announcment I haven't seen shit for updates.

The only updates I've gotten recently(I get the newsletters sent to my email account) is about Mass Effect 2 for the Playstation 3. Since I already have it on the PC, it wasn't really much news.;):lol:

It would have been nice if they had released all of the DLC on a bonus disc. I would have picked that up for sure.

[yuk]

I play abitually at chess online and fps like openarena, quake and other fragged titles :)

[jdawg]

Gamefly just shipped me Dead Space 2! Can't wait to get it and play it at night!

[doctorevil_fku]

I really enjoy CoD Black Ops and MW3 is due out in November, but don't you wish the campaign mode would last longer? Online is fun but the campaigns could be brought online also if you used head sets, to use for team missions etc

The short single-player content is the main reason I won't pick up games like Black Ops. I prefer to play the game by myself to be honest. If I am going to pay over $50 for a game, I want to get my money's worth. Four hours of single player content is definitely not getting me my money's worth.

[lacey_maxie]

Do any of u guys play video games?
I do,i have xbox 360

OH,yes. Mostly the games with zombies(left 4 dead,left 4 dead 2) on PC .I've become so addicted to these games.I can't sleep,eat,play with myself.I'm even afraid to go out:no:

[jdawg]

I watched a The Old Republic trailer and I got to say the game looks like its straight out of the KOTOR era. The graphics look pretty average and the gameplay looks like its the same from the other games.

Has anybody kept up with the news about the game? I really am hoping I'm wrong and would like to know about the changes to gameplay etc.

Right now I'm juggling my time between New Super Mario Bros Wii, Angry Birds, Bejeweled 3, Dark Matter, and just finished Limbo (2D will never die!!!). Though usually I'm a pushover for shooters, especially bullet-hell types from developers like Cave and Raizing...when I saw that Death Smiles appeared domestically I went out and bought an XBox 360 right away. :)

[Recrudescence]

Been playing Dead Space 2 on and off for the past two weeks now

[milkyfarts]

Waiting for Marvel vs Capcom 3. Long live 2D.

[shadows]

I need to figure out how to embed a Youtube video. There is an amazing trailer that I want to post!

[shadows]

Hopefully this will work!

OTtv3DyXRow

This is one of the most emotional trailers I have ever seen. The buzz for it has been off-the-charts and might make the game one of the most anticipated of 2011/2012!

This is a trailer for the video game 'Dead Island'.

I hope you'll like it!:)

[Bionca]

Holy crap!!!!

[Recrudescence]

The trailer has my attention, I'm going to have to keep my eye out as more information is released on this. :)

[shadows]

"Holy crap!" good, or "holy crap!" bad?;)

[shadows]

Pretty much every gaming site is talking about the trailer. Mass amounts of word-of-mouth is basically becoming free advertising for them.

I am truly hopeful that the game will at least come close to justifying the hype attached to it. *fingers crossed*:)

[Tread]

This is a trailer for the video game 'Dead Island'.

I hope you'll like it!:)

The trailer creates a ?great? dauntingly atmosphere.
First person survival, weapons able to assemble and RPG elements in an open world on a holiday island. Developer Techland (Call of Juarez) seams not too bad.
Sounds like it has potential.

[Enoch Root]

How has this thread not turned towards total obsession with The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim yet? Did no one watch the latest trailer?

I would be getting the game regardless of any trailers. I own all the other Elder Scrolls games(except for Bloodmoon) after all.;)

You can double wield! Even spells! This game is the doom of all geeks. And those dragon shouts, goddamn! Although I never made the connection that the dragon shouts were Thu'um.

Hopefully the whole Dragon part is not too similar to what it was in Divinity 2: The Dragon Knight Saga(which was Divinity 2 and the expansion put together).

[Enoch Root]

And you can summon a dragon.

And Bethesda is being coy about whether or not you can combine your double wielded spells in battle.

But, you can summon a dragon!

God, I can't wait until they make a game in Valenwood. Bosmers are my favorite.

[Maty]

I play WoW :))

[rockabilly]

You also have random fights w/ lesser dragons , they swoop down on villages and your character.

I do think you can combine your spells and increase their damage and effectiveness.

Love the ESoA game - play Oblivion off and on and can't bring myself to remove Daggerfall from my computer. My only problem with Oblivion is I got it for the X-Box 360, so not so many mods :(

Been playing WoW with the bf and his family since I visited them over New Years. 85 Troll feral druid. All this and I still have an active social life :eek:

I'm probably going to slap myself for not knowing this, but what is ESoA?

It is amazing how many Mods there are for Oblivion(and Fallout 3 as well!). In fact, a fan made a patch for Oblivion that allowed me to continue playing the game rather than having to restart the game! There was a bug in Oblivion that cropped up in games that were over 150 hours played. It would slow the game to a crawl, especially in the dungeons. It was basically a game-stopping bug and a fan fixed it! Awesome!:respect:

I have stopped playing Oblivion for over a year now(I plan on finishing it someday), but have been hooked on Fallout 3! I finished it with a "good" character and then immediately restarted the game(this time with the GOTY DLC added), but this time as a "bad" character. Daphne is considered "evil" by the game, but she is not truly an evil person. All she does is steal everything not nailed down(either to sell, or to hoard in Megaton. She has about 60 teddy bears so far!) or succumb to the hunger of cannibalism. Those raiders shouldn't have stolen her food!:eek:

I've never played WoW(nor any other MMO). I just don't have the time to commit to that sort of game(although it looks like it would be fun to play, and I already love the Azeroth mythos playing Warcraft 1, 2, and 3(as well as the expansions).

[Gor Gar]

I just finished Darksiders on the XBox 360, and I have to say that this is an under-rated gem of a game. I'm foaming at the mouth for part two (and unfortunately will have to wait until at least 2012 for it to come out). Darksiders draws a lot of inspiration from games like God of War and the tried-and-true goodness that is The Legend of Zelda, and since I'm a fan of both franchises it came as no surprise to me that I totally loved this game. The character designs on War (you play as one of The Four Horsemen, how cool is that in itself?), the angels, and the demons are off the freakin' hook (Ben "Yahtzee" Croshaw bagged on War's look, but personally I completely disagreed with him). The level designs, music, and overall atmosphere were masterfully done, and then you even had celebrities like Mark Hamil and Moon Bloodgood doing some of the voice work! The only thing that I didn't like was the fact that this game totally went under the radar for me until a couple weeks ago, but then, that meant I only paid $20 instead of $60 for this great game, so I guess that's not all bad.

On the PC I'm about halfway through Hallowed Legends -Samhain, a particularly challenging Hidden Object Game (but broken in at least one part that I know of), and very recently beat Stray Souls -Dollhouse, an exceptionally beautiful Hidden Object Game that I'd recommend to anybody who's a fan of the genre or not. Hidden Object games, I've found, can be pretty engaging and a lot of fun, and I'm kicking myself for not giving them a chance a lot sooner.

Also on PC I'm never saying die on Dark Matter, a game that can make you it's bitch in seconds flat if you don't play your cards right. I've got all but two missions completed on the campaign mode, even missions that are higher and supposedly harder than the two that are throwing me for such a loop! I don't get it, but at the same time I can't get enough of this sweet remake of good ol' Asteroids. If you haven't played this for yourself you really should, that is if you're into old-school levels of video gaming challenges...it's such an accomplishment and a relief to shoot your way out of an asteroid field all while fighting off an armada that are constantly gunning for you.

Other than that I'm anxious to get started on the Puppet Show series, more Hidden Object Games, when I get done with what I'm currently playing.

Defcon and Natural Selection

Crysis 2 is my early GOTY. The campaign was absolutely amazing. I loved switching gun attachments on the fly and choosing between stealth and action gameplay.

[VectorClash68]

I'm loving Crysis 2. Homefront was just okay (not too much into multiplayer these days). Going through a 4th round of Dead Space 2 and enjoying MvC3. Tomorrow I have to download the new Mass Effect 2 DLC. Some XBLA titles that have been getting my attention are Beyond Good and Evil HD and Doom II. Can't wait for the new Mortal Kombat! :)

Oblivion IV elder scrolls GOTY edition
(xbox360)
I've been playing it for 3 months as a dark elf mage.
I never took the twin brothers back to Weatherby in the Legacy lost quest
so never finished that quest.
As a result, the brothers follow me round, permanently moaning
"Take us to Weatherby"
They are really good fighters who NEVER DIE just get knocked out from time to time.
Result is I get them to do all the fighting.
I'm happier trading, collecting things, mixing potions
and chatting to NPC's.
I've just started on the expansion pack:
Shimmering isles & Knights of the nine.


Mrs Jodie used to play it on the PC ~~ finished it 5 times!
Seeing the game again prompted her to buy it for her ps3
She has given up on pc gaming as she hates the ongoing need to install patches thing.
With a console you just switch it on and play.

I always find it strange when people talk about using characters other than Bosmer.

Has any one played Little Big Planet? It is on the PS3 I am debating on buying it.

I haven't played it(I don't own a PS3), but it looks like it has sold a lot of games. You should check out the Wiki for it, as there is a lot of information on it there. It also looks like the Game Of The Year version is the way to go if you can find it.

If you decide to get it, let me know if it was any good.;)

Also, LBP 2 was released in January of this year.:)

[Gor Gar]

I played it a while back on my cousin's PS3, and honestly I wasn't all that impressed. The graphics and presentation were all top-notch, but the gameplay wasn't all that much fun. :(

If you're looking for some good PS3 titles, I'd recommend the Ratchet & Clank games, or the God of War Collection (God of War III was okay, but it missed the mark compared to the first two, very pretty though)...and if you're into downloading games you simply cannot go wrong with Castle Crashers and Scott Pilgrim vs. The World, both of which are old-school 2D brawlers that never get old in my humble opinion. :cool:

[Hourglass]

I've been spending more and more time with handhelds lately. I got back into Final Fantasy Tactics and also picked up Tactics Ogre: Let Us Cling Together on the PSP. Thinking about getting 3rd Birthday as well (I'm a big fan of Parasite Eve) but most of the reviews I've read have been pretty bad for it.

I still play WoW a little (Blood Elf Disc Priest main, tons of alts) but I've gotten burned out on the whole MMO bit, and have gotten back into older/retro gaming.

I've been playing Torchlight for over a week now. It is a very addictive game! It was made by a lot of the same people that worked on the Diablo games, and you can see the resemblance. If anyone likes that sort of game, I highly recommend getting it!:cool:

I got Mortal Kombat on Saturday and have fell in love with it. I hate fighting games, but this game kicks so much ass with all of the content it provides. While Marvel vs Capcom lasted like 2 hours, you could probably put in dozens of hours into this game without needing to go online.

The weird thing about this is that the Baldur's Gate series for the PC is nothing like the games from the PS2. The PC games are full-blown RPGs while the PS2 games are, as you said, like Torchlight(as well as Titan Quest and Diablo, two other great games!).

I played Dark Alliance a few times at a friend's house a while back. While they are two totally different animals, both the PC and PS2 games were entertaining. The Dark Alliance games had great graphics to boot!:)
