Crysis. Currently, I'm NOT impressed. If I wanted to play Far Cry, I'll play Far Cry.
Completed Ratchet and Clank to today, more than a week sooner than expected. The last worlds simply flew by in a hail of pretty explosions. It was a good game, and had some Moments with a capital 'M'. My favourite would be storming a space station while a pair of old geezer robots lectured me with every old guy cliche in the book. Hilarious.
First robot: "Get off my lawn, you hooligan!" :pause: "He's still there, now what?"
Other robot: "These young'uns never listen. Don't know wisdom when they hear it."
First robot: "It's all that music and that entertainment they have. Rots the brain. Why, in my day-"
Second robot: "He just blew up the turrets! The vandal!"
:gring:
It's still too early to start Mass Effect. I'm either going to play Breath of Fire: Dragon Quarter or Jade Empire to fill the gap between now and my post Christmas time off. Two nice, short RPGs. I think Jade Empire may be the winning candidate.
I've read a few particularly blistering reviews of SC:L too. Gamespot's was especially harsh- and they're completely full of it, imo. The game is certainly no 10/10, but a 3.5 is completely unjustified. I'd put it somewhere around a 7+ probably. The most valid criticisms would be the repeating level/monster designs. The control scheme misses occasionally, but I think is decent. The fighting is as complex as you want it to be- flailing around wildly can certainly carry you for a good while, but you'll get much better results by using specific moves/attacks. There are also special moves and combos that the reviewers seem to be totally ignorant of. I'm definitely still enjoying the game. It's not hall of fame material, but it is good fun.Quote:

Finished off "Lunar Knights" on the DS last night. About 18hrs of actual gameplay, but it took me months of intermittent playing to get thru it.
I thought the art design, music, and cut scenes were all excellent- the music especially. Some of the standard enemies were on the cheesy side, but the boss fights were generally a lot of fun- the final boss in particular. The ending didn't seemed kinda abrupt though and didn't tie up the character's stories very will, imo. Apparently, I can unlock some more game content by playing thru the game again- but for now I'm moving onto another DS game. Maybe Luminous Arc.
Dementium is pretty cool.
Oblivion
with frostcrag spire, battlehorn castle, deepscorn hollow, and Knights of the nine add ons. very good. trying to get every achievement in regular before having to get shivering isles
Solitaire. Lots and lots of solitaire. Mainly because it sharpens the mind. And because my computer won't be shipped over till the beginning of February...
How? I feel like I'm getting stupider and stupider the more I play that game... ~:rolleyes:Quote:

And yes, I do like sticking up for the underdog.
Finished playing Assassin's Creed three weeks ago, the only game I play now is Call of Duty 4, which I'm about to finish right now. AC's ending was very confusing, I'm looking forward to the next one, they rarely make games about the third crusade and Saracens.
I played Jade Empire, and I'm not convinced I shall drag myself on to the finish. It's shocking. It's Bioware by numbers with a poor fighting system. Every last Bioware cliché and hallmark is present and correct, and this time around they are most irksome. Every single instance in this game has been done better elsewhere, in many cases done multiple times better.
Dawn Star is the straw which breaks the frog's break - I've seen her at least 3 times before and she's the only incarnation of the character type to have no personality whatsoever, no charm, no humour, no combat worth (have to stick her on support mode to get any use), and nothing at all to mark her out from the other incarnations except her lacks. The main romance NPC for the female character is just as bad: it's Carth again, complete with the same boo hoo story and, like Dawn Star, stripped of anything which might make him interesting. Blergh! HK-47 was a better version of the comedy evil NPC than the lug with 2 axes whose name I can't remember. Minsc was by far a better comedy good NPC than the inventor guy, as was Mort, Jan, and countless others. Etc, etc, right through nearly every member of the cast.
The plot? I didn't complete Jade Empire the first time I played it. I didn't get half way. I've reached a little past half way this time. I don't know for certain what happens. I sure as anything can lay out a detailed guess, and would stake quite a lot that it is accurate. Most of that guess was formed within the first hour. It's so obvious what is going to happen because it's a Bioware cliché redux.
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:
The combat is slow and awkward. The styles barely have any range at all, meaning my deadly spirit monk chappy flails around at air and fails to hit a bandit who is right next to him. The power attacks are so slow they are infuriating, yet you're forced to use them over and over because enemies spam block. The sword style is the only one I like; it's useless against ghosts so I can't use it half the time. Follower AI is moronic in the extreme, the only way to get some use out of them is to leave them on support mode. Only a couple of followers have useful support effects, meaning the bulk of your party is useless. The combat is so bad I have scaled the difficulty down, and then down again in order to get through it as quickly as possible.
I stopped playing the game when it was released because I was busy. Now I wonder if it might not have been best to leave it like that. Returning to it has done nothing but ruin the positive impressions I had from back then.
The worst thing is that I am now afraid to try Mass Effect. That was going to be my Christmas game. I got the limited edition of it, and brought my 360 with that at the front of the must play games list. But it's Bioware. Unless things have changed very much it will have the same marks as all the other Bioware games. Jade Empire was one repetition too many. Where does that leave Mass Effect?
So I'm playing Lego Star Wars: The Complete Saga in co-op mode with my boyfriend. Loved the original two games so it is little surprise I love this director's cut.
I'm sorry you did not like Jade Empire, frogbeastegg, I thought it was very good. You are on the money in your plot predictions. I confess I did not see the twist coming, so it hit me in real life, as in the game, in the solar plexus. I also thought Dawn Star was cute. I guess it helps to be a dumb male to enjoy the game.
Bland piece of gaming if you ask me, lost interest a lot sooner.
//continues Hotel Dusk <--awesome
After a few false starts, I'm finally enjoying NWN2... at least I am after installing the AI fix at NWN Vault.
I am playing Europa Universalis III and Hearts of Iron 2. In EUIII I am enjoying a game playing as England, its 1462 and I've taken a bit of SOuthern Scotland and all of Ireland.
I am? Great. I formed most of them within the first hour. :blankg: That puts the nail in the coffin, I think. I can’t face however many more hours of that only to be told something I figured out ages ago.Quote:

I wanted to like the game, I really did. Bioware games are usually very much to my tastes, and I've been playing them since the release of the original Baldur's Gate. AFAIK this was the first time Bioware have created their own unique setting instead of using an established one like AD&D or Star Wars. I felt they did a good job of it. The fighting is poor, and that is no surprise though it is a disappointment. There's not been a good combat system in any Bioware game IMO, however this is the first to centre itself so fully around one. The engine was a bit ropey and was plagued by huge loading times, again expected and again disappointing.
Dawn Star is the template they built Bastila, Arabeth and Aerie from. When building Bastila they added a sense of humour and a certain determination to be the best. When building Arabeth they added arrogance, and a desire to be good which ultimately blinded. When building Aerie they added whining about her wings, endlessly and repeatedly until I wished I could hit her with a +4 mace. When building Dawn Star they added ... nothing. Not a thing. It's like they didn't have time to make her more than a stock template. Dawn Star doesn't have a sense of humour, and I don't mean that in the sense that it is part of her character not to have one. Her creator neglected to wonder if she should have one or not.
I don’t think it is a dumb male thing, after all I did like Bastila and Arabeth was ok. I’d have had a better view of Aerie if only she hadn’t complained and gone on as much. I can’t stand whining characters, whether they have good cause or not.
The male romance lead is just as bad. My female character gave him the proverbial boot before the first "I have a tragic background but I shall stoically bear it (by the way this means I shall whinge about it in every single conversation with you so I hope you don’t mind, sob)" line finished playing. How many times have Bioware done that one? Carth certainly, and IIRC Anomen from BGII was the same. There's probably more. Again it felt like they forgot to advance him beyond the stock template. It's even the same tragic background as Carth's!
As for the other party characters … meh. They don’t talk. When they do it’s a bare handful of lines and then they shut up again. In KOTOR, for example, you can talk to new members and get to know a little about them right at the start. Jade Empire makes you gain levels and finish key plot points before you can get so much as a “Hello.” The few who do talk soon turn out to be barely developed templates fielded in prior games. The few who look like they may be different, such as the little girl, stay virtually silent whatever I try.
I find I'm fed up of seeing these stock templates over and over, developed or not. I don't want to mentally tag characters under the familiar old labels after a couple of lines of dialogue and then be able to predict what's going to happen. I especially don't want to know the workings of the plot from the first hour, simply because I have seen the same tricks too many times before.
I guess I feel that all the time and creativity went into creating the Jade Empire and nothing was left for the characters and plot, the areas where Bioware usually do best and the areas where my main reason for playing lie.
The more I think about it the more I want to play a good RPG ~:( It's been quite a while.
Currently playing EU3 vanilla with the 1.3 patch, and enjoying it. I am missing a somewhat clearer time speed interface (even at the highest speed it seems to be just a notch slower than in CK's or Vicky's highest speed), but overall I've been enjoying getting over the learning curve (more than with Vicky, I know that), and that's a good sign.
Im maxing everybody on FFX...
Playing Drakenguard again...
and FFXII...
and Naruto Ultimate Ninja 2 (what can I say, i like fighting with the pervy sage..)
Hoping to get Xtreme Legends: Dynasty warriors 5 soon...
Mass Effect. It's completely taking up all my time when I should be finishing Halo 3. Stupid Bioware and making good RPG's.
My prompt dissapearnce from the forums was due to yet another Diablo II attack, my fourth one since 05 when I "officially" stopped playing. Can't say that I've beaten it, but I'm spending alot of time with the Witcher.
Just finished playing Bioshock, and quite enjoyed it. I'm thinking of replaying it, only this time taking the 'evil' route - apparently this game has more than one ending. Nice feature.
After that I'll check out the mod scene for the game, but I doubt I'm installing anything in the coming month.
:balloon2:
I got the Hitman Triple Pack recently so I'm playing Hitman 2:Silent Assassin. :rifle:
I got Mass Effect when it came out on 360 and finished it a few days later. Its a great game but a little short and the side missions aren't great.
I got Assassins Creed at christmas and done that in a few days. Its great running around the cities but the story and missions are pretty poor. All the Assassinations are pretty much the same. I get the feeling they used up tso much storage making the cities and graphics that they ran out of space to make the story any decent length. Either they ran out of space or they ran out of time. If its the former it would probably be better if the next installment to the unfinished story came as an expansion.
Right now I play CoD 4 and Halo 3 on Xbox Live with friends and the occasional race on PGR4. I also play Company of Heroes on the PC pretty much every day.
I'm looking forward to (and bracing for dissapointment) Halo Wars and Tom Clancys EndWar on 360.
I'm playing The Witcher at the moment - it's a pretty good game, nice alchemy system, and apparently not immediately obvious choices\consequences (it was a surprise to find out that someone I needed to talk to had died because of something I'd done quite a while ago). I hope more CRPGs move in this direction.
CoD 4 and more CoD 4
Level 43 and counting.
Bioshock. I was thinking about getting CoD 4, but I figured I go a different and darker path with Bioshock.
I'm not regretting my choice. I just need to keep all the lights on, and avoid water from now on...

I got a number of Wii games for Christmas. SMG is an amazing game. MP3 also looks awesome, but I'm holding off on getting into it because I still hold out hope of finishing the prequels... from what little I played, I suspect I won't want to play the prequels if I get too used to the Wii controls for MP3. :sweatdrop:
I also got Battalion Wars 2 and Trauma Center: New Blood. Of the two, I probably like Trauma Center better, but the new control scheme for BW2 is a definite improvement over the GC version and I'm looking forward to online vs play eventually too..
Strangely, what I'm playing most now is Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance. I'm planning on getting the Wii sequel, so I popped the game in to take another look at it and was immediately hooked. Great fun. :2thumbsup:

Any way for me lots of COD4, it's kept me away from playing both ghost reacons. As for assassins creed, it disappointed me. I played around 1 hour and something and have no desire to pick it up again.
He tried that, but it's so horrible to kill the little sisters, saw it once, was shocked, and never did it again. Yes I am a wuss.Quote:

At least evil isn't really evil in Bioshock, just byebye morals. But harvesting the little sisters is a tad too sinister for me even if it fits the game like a glove. Could never really bring myselve to being a nasty in games like KOTOR because there isn't really a good reason to be be such a meany while the light side always makes sense.
I've got all but 4 of the achievements in Lego Star Wars: The Complete Saga now, and I'm banned from playing it unless my boyfriend is there on pain of making him Very Upset. He's a bit miffed that I finished half of it in an afternoon while ill.
After weeks of saying I might, I have started Breath of Fire: Dragon Quarter. The first few hours are reputedly the worst part of the game and a struggle for most gamers, as it's quite a unique JRPG. I'm finding that to be quite true. The only way to heal my characters is to fork out 60 zenny for an item which heals 50 HP. Sounds reasonable until you realise you only get around 300 zenny for clearing most of the first dungeon, and that the weakest character has over 100HP and the stronger well over 300. I'm doing well enough in the battles, despite having little understanding of the combo system. Once I find a boss I'm going to be stomped, I suspect. As for the save system! Oh, the headache! It doesn't help that the manual describes the system used in the Japanese and American versions of the game, talking about a feature which was removed entirely from the PAL version. Die and chose this option and you keep X, lose Y and parts of your save game are altered, choose another option and lose everything but your save game isn't altered. Choose restore and you lose this that and the other, but retain some stuff. Choose restart and it's the same deal except you go back to the very beginning of the game instead of to your last save.
I think I understand it. So long as I don't think about it at all. :sweatdrop:
Having tried the straight approach I'm going to attempt a more sneaky one now. If I store the 5 healing items it gives you when you restore your game, then save and restore my game, that should give me 5 more healing items as well as keeping my previous 5 save. Add the 5 new healing items to my storage dump, and repeat a few times. Then I'll have enough to make it through the first areas to the part of the game where money is more plentiful. Um ... I think.
So many people talking Bioshock. I had a few games given me this Christmas, and the 360 version of Bioshock was one of them. As some may recall, I already have the PC version, which I began but had to abandon midway through. Starting a fresh game is something I've been wanting to do for a while. Looks like I'll be doing so on a console.
This is going to be interesting. I'm hopeless at FPS games when I have a mouse and keyboard. When I don't have a mouse and keyboard ... :skull:
I think the final in-game stuff is the same, but the ending movies are different. You can see them on Youtube. I agree, the evil ending movie is impressive although I found the Schindler's List good ending one rewarding too.Quote:

I found it rather a cop-out that there are gameplay advantages to not killing little sisters; in my opinion the situation hinted at in previews, of clearly killing the little sisters to get an advantage in the game, would have suited the tone of the game far better and made the ending stronger. But I guess that wouldn't have made it through censors.

Shotgunning splicers in time to classical music at a certain point in the theatre.
Not dying! At all! Not even once!
Rapture itself. From rotting fisheries to plush apartments the city had style and personality.
The music and voice acting in general. I loved it when you reached those set pieces acompanied by a period song.
The narrative. Watching all the pieces come together as I discovered the audio logs gave me a feeling I haven't had since System Shock 2 and Deus Ex.
Lowlights:
Missing splicers at point blank range with a shotgun due to my ineptitude with FPS games, especially when played with a pad. :oops:
A certain bit near the end best summed up by the following quote:
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:
The fact the machine gun fires pellets of play-dough until you upgrade it and get some anti-personnel rounds.
Hacking mini game. Annoying on the PC version and downright fiddly on the 360. Hurrah for the buy out and hack tool options.
I'm tempted to play through it again on hard without using vita chambers. It would consolidate my skills ... or completely destroy any illusions I have that I'm now faintly half decent in a crap kind of way at FPS. Having 49/51 achievements is somewhat irksome. Does anyone know how much harder hard mode really is?
Without Vitachambers? It will make you cry.Quote:

Enjoyed the game so far, although I completely missed the trick on some missions (30+ kills including innocents :tongue: and a "Mass Murderer" rating). Definitely adds to the replay value though, I'm determined to get Silent Assassin ratings.

Mass Effect is an important game. There's a lot hanging on it - if it makes me feel the same way as Jade Empire I shall conclude I have gone off Bioware games unless and until they do something different. Jade Empire was so much deja vu I was able to accurately guess the entire plot for the game after the opening sections!Quote:

I don't see much to inspire confidence that I won't run into Bastila Mk5 and co yet again. Rather the opposite. So I don't want to play the game. If not for Jade Empire I would have played Mass Effect over Christmas. I hadn't looked forward to a game so much since KOTOR II ~:(
I'll have a look at some reviews.Quote:

Fiddly controls, boring scenery, boring fights, weedy weaponry, and level design which made me think of one of those on-rails corridor shooters even though I was outside occasionally. The plot might have been decent if followed further (I bailed midway through the bit on the water-ski) but the game was far too unenjoyable to slog on and find out.
It did make me appreciate Bioshock a deal more.
I have to say I played Half Life 2 mostly for the story and to *ahem* get more weapons(that's the disappointing part, you get all of them rather early except the gravity stuff), the controls thing must be the problem of playing on a console, I found the PC controls just like any other shooter. :shrug:
The being on rails I agree with you but I didn't expect much else from what I'd call a standard shooter to be honest, the story, especially in episode 1 and 2 made up for that for me, especially episode 2 I found a lot of fun, you get more outside action and nice landscapes etc unlike the concrete levels before that. If you can, try to play through it, although I wouldn't consider myself an authority in the judgement of stories. :sweatdrop:
No harm in trying episode II, way better then the main game but still gets an overrated slapped on it Chez Fragony's. It's like Halo, either you apreciate what it does or you hate it for what it doesn't.
I tried Overlord.
My horde (just 15 :sweatdrop:) of minions are running about wearing pumpkins on their heads and wielding fearsome weapons like sticks. This is due to my crack bunch of armoured scythe wavers being killed by a single bottom bounce from a massively obese halfling. My jester is calling me names like "Silencer of the growling stomachs", and I suspect he is mocking my kindness in not turning a village's food into essence to create more minions. No matter how many times I kick him he persists in this. I need essence, lots more essence, so I can toss minions into the smelter and upgrade my gear. The sheep the village have reared for me in tribute don't go far enough. I've been asked to investigate a plague, and to do something about the elves and their weird plant-killing trees, and I've still got a castle infested with undead thingies and an unknown creature which sets fire to things to deal with. Chunks of my tower are scattered all over the landscape, and a bunch of heroes have nicked all my cool stuff. To top it all off a pushy damsel has set up camp in my tower, and is demanding I spend thousands of gold pieces renovating the place. My treasury is now empty and she's still suggesting new carpeting. And she made me fetch her luggage from an enemy infested burning cellar!
Who'd be an evil overlord, eh?
Love it.:devilish:
For yooooouuuuuu, master!
I played it, it was fun, refreshing, and fairly mindless. The PC controls are rough though, controlling your minions at a distance is a real pain, I assume this is easier on the XBox.
.
Sounds like Dungeon Keeper! :jumping:
.
Sadly, it's almost nothing like Dungeon Keeper except the concept of being an evil overlord. It's more closer to Evil Pikmin than Dungeon Keeper.
That doesn't stop it from being fun, however. I enjoyed it.
Ive been recently playing Kotor II. Still one of my favorites
You're saying that Pikmin weren't evil? :sweatdrop:Quote:
