What are you playing? 10/15/2011

Posted on Saturday, October 15 @ 13:00:40 Eastern by danielrbischoff

WIth a PS3 copy of Dark Souls finally in my hand, I'm going to be making my way through the Undead Burg, yet again. I'll be taking this one in baby steps so as to not kill any merchants I f***ed with in my 360 review run.

I've also got Batman: Arkham Asylum in my 360's disc tray because Batman: Arkham City hasn't arrived at the SoCal GameRevolution Compound yet. Also Enslaved. God! Lay off me already! I got the game!

What are you playing?

    Dark souls because I won a poker tournament and used my winnings to finally buy it. Also NBA Jam when I have guests.

    Beat Rage single player the other day. Was very enjoyable, but I have to say it bothers the sh*t out of me when I beat a game, the credits roll, and then it hits the title screen again, and looks like you achieved nothing. No new game +, no change in graphic, and no post-end-game running around. I can load to the start of the final run, or start over. How anti-climatic.

    Also playing Might & Magic Heroes VI....which, while is fun, is extremely disappointing with how many frigging bugs I've found. Randomly getting the wrong amount of gold/resources, Luck attacks not doing the extra damage they should, the map randomly not scrolling in any direction, enemies not taking damage to their HP when you hit them. How can a game ship like this? QA is a thing of the past.

    Finally started Deus Ex, barely an hour in. To early to tell.

    Still waiting (patiently) for Arkham City, and (so impatiently that I could wet myself) Skyrim. 11/11/11 can't come soon enough.

    Yes there are but most of them veterans or fans of MGO, but it was always hard to start playing this game just becaue its not really noob friendly. Most of players there are like HEADSHOT HEADSHOT HEADSHOT. But a good game is always worth trying out, right?

    Finished playing Portal 2 single player story. Deeply amusing and fun game. I need to track down someone that hasn't played it yet to play the co op with. The song during the ending credits wasn't quite as good as "Sill Alive", but not bad.

    Still playing Rift. This weekend is a free weekend, which means bonus EXP and loot to subscribers, and a bunch of new folk wandering around the starter zones. They've also got a new world event going on which is glitched. They had to put the second part of the event on hold while they work on fixing it. There are some decent rewards to be had at least.

    Holy ****. How did an Ace Combat game come out without me knowing?! Since playing Shattered Skies as a kid, Ace Combat has been the only arcade flight sim I'd ever look at. Sure, all the games have pretty much the same plot, and yes the cutscenes in AC6 were so bad I had to skip them even on my first run through the story, but I still love the series.

    You should definitely try Dark Souls if you're having a hard time waiting for Skyrim. It's a great distraction.

    I had the same feeling a while back and when Steam had their summer sale they had the complete collection for like $10. I think the original is about $20 if you don't want the extras.

    I really gotta get back to playing it. I got to where it's an open world and fell into hours of just grinding for XP because I find the combat system fun. But life happened and I had to shelf it for a bit (read "over a year").

    Even then, Web of Shadows was kind of meh because Treyarch was developing multiple games.

    WOS had better combat than Ultimate Spider-man though.

    Ironically I never played Web of Shadows. Shattered Dimensions is a great game in it's own right. It's not open world like previous Spidey games but the different dimensions, skills, abilities, and gameplay for the different Spider men makes it feel different for each one (Noir, Ultimate, 2099, Amazing). Noir bing my favorite due to the more sneak style gameplay and

    I'm taking a break from Dark Souls since my new computer just arrived. I just started X3: Terran Conflict and so far, judging from the very little I've played of X2, it seems to be not quite as complex. I hope that changes as I go on.

    Naw, to be honest I'm not big on the whole pseudo-realistic military shooter thing. I'll take my ARMA 2 or my Halo, but not both.

    Mostly just got it because I really liked STALKER and I wanted to play the second two games but I could only run the first. And Crysis is a pretty nice bonus too. I never thought a game that came out in 2007 would blow me the heck away in 2011.

    Just finished Metro 2033. Great game with plenty of atmosphere. Thought the shotguns were a bit underpowered (can 1 shot anything in the head with a revolver but it takes 5 shots at point blank with a shotty?).

    Playing Borderlands with a friend like once a week (he's busy with school so like Monday is our only day to play).

    I'm playing through Alpha Protocol (picked it up for $2). It's an alright game. Kinda wonky AI, cover system and shooting, but an enjoyable experience.

    Did you play it on PC or on a console? When I played the console version I found the shotguns to be next to useless since you can't ironsight them and it's difficult to aim otherwise, but on the PC aiming was so easy I was getting one hit kills every time I fired, especially with the double barrel.

    I was on PC. I got the fully auto, 20 round shotty, so taking more than one or two shots was never a problem, but it seemed if I didn't aim directly for the head with it, no matter how close, it always took at least 4 shots to kill someone with it, even after a revolver shot to the stomach or a throwing knife in the back. Granted, I noticed it more against human enemies and towards the end of the game, but it still felt a little on the weak side.
