The "What are you playing?" topic.

Eh. takes all the fun away...

I much prefer hoyohoyo, activated before research at the temple. who doesnt want speedy monks that can covert whole armies single handedly?

That may be true, but the life lessons are always there.
Whenever I come across a situation with impossible odds, I just say to myself "photon men, photon men, photon men..."

It took me three years of playing that game to realize that hitting the up arrow would retype what was last typed.

Is this AOE1?

thanks to a generous (or scared ****-less) friend, just started Amnesia: The Dark Descent.

Now, I'm going to preface this with saying that I saw a few episodes of a lets play of it, and thought "pssshhh. this guy is such a wussy! cowering in a corner. all careful and what not. pfft. i bet i wouldnt even get scared."

however after playing about an hour of it:

HOLY *insert stream of curse words here* !!!!! I just about crapped myself several times already. this junk is SCARY. I havent even seen the bad guy monster thingy yet, ive only heard him, and it sent me into a freakin panic. just got into the wine cellar, got the calamine and moved the stuff out of the doorway. too scared to proceed for right now, maybe tomorrow.

man, this is potentially scarring. even Call of Pripyat wasnt this creepy. at least in that game you just got scared, something jumped at you, you kill it, then you proceed; in Amnesia its just being hyped and hyped and hyped and its horrifying, to say the least.

great job guys, if your goal was to make men cry like small children after playing your game, Amnesia gets a 10/10.

[Fragony]

Don't miss out on their Penumbra games. Amnesia evoked the type of fear only Thief could untill now. Hearing is so much worse than seeing.

[Prussian to the Iron]

I thought it was pretty clear that I was talking about Crysis 2's multiplayer. I said vanilla Crysis and Crysis Warhead's multiplayer have horrible problems, and that makes me worry about Crysis 2 multiplayer having similar problems, on top of having played the demo (which is multiplayer only) and seeing its simply a Call of Duty clone with suit powers, which it absolutely is as a matter of fact.

Please read posts more carefully.

I have no opinion of Crysis 2's singleplayer.

I am going to go out on a limb here, and say:

GRAPHIC YOU MUST BE OUTCHO MIND!!!

i started playing the MP today on PSN: Amazing. every bit as good and better than single player. freakin awesome, and im awesome at it (lowest score was 2nd place so far, and every other game has been 1st place). love it.

[Motep]

Hmmm...I would enjoy hearing an opinion from one who is not so good, you know? Is it fun because it is fun, or because you are dominating?

[Prussian to the Iron]

Hmmm...I would enjoy hearing an opinion from one who is not so good, you know? Is it fun because it is fun, or because you are dominating?

TBH, i asked myself the same question. and i really do not have an answer :/. I feel like if i say its because i dominate then it wont be as fun (ok, it will, but i wont feel as good about it), but if i say its because its fun, then im not being very honest.

so ill say both. i love the engine and gameplay generally, and the MP builds on that with well-constructed maps and fun games. but the fact that i destroy everything i see certainly helps it.


probably the same thing id say about bad company 2, as far as helicopter maps go; its fun for me because i dominate the ground troops with my air superiority, but its also fun because its a pretty good game overall.

i think theres a certain degree that both have to play for a game to be really enjoyable for you; too difficult but a good game makes for a boring/aggravating experience, while an overly easy yet badly constructed game leaves you wanting more from your experience than simple bragging rights.


for me, theres a perfect balance.

[Motep]

Should be worth buying then.

[Fragony]

Tried it as well, it's incredibly fun. It's liquid smooth and no lag whatsoever. Kill ratio is 50/50 or so but I'm not that good at console shooters. The game is amazingly balanced to my surprise

EDIT 50/50 lololol I wish I suck badly

[Prussian to the Iron]

Ok, Amnesia is really screwing with me. Last night after playing a horrendously scary part, I was laying in bed when i heard something trying to open my doorknob, like shaking it (it was locked so it couldnt turn). Jumped outta bed, thinking it was my mom or a sibling, opened the door, nobody. everybody was asleep (close to midnight), and i asked my mom and she said she didnt do it.

So my only conclusion is that Amnesia is really effing with my mind.

[Motep]

Or your family is enjoying your gibbering terror. I did the same crap to my sister. It stopped being fun pretty fast, though.

[naut]

Amnesia is great! If you are that terrified then you are enjoying it.

[CountArach]

Spot on. I keep meaning to play it but my mouse hovers over the icon and I realise I kind of don't want to feel that way...

Truly an amazing game.

[Prussian to the Iron]

I can only play it in like 20 minute segments. with the lights on. and the tv on. and lots of kids running around downstairs yelling. and still am close to dirtying my pants.

Unacceptable. The lights must be off, you must be alone and wearing noise-cancelling headphones.

[Prussian to the Iron]

I'm not sure if I can handle that without imagining monsters every time i try to sleep. god this game makes me feel like the biggest wuss.

[Motep]

I sooo want to play this game now. Not so much "are you scared?" but "are you handling it better than PI?"

BTW, you are doing a better job at it than my sister was.

[Prussian to the Iron]

i might make a conscious effort to try and be a badass, just fearless and bold. and you should totally play it. its the scariest thing you will ever play.

[Motep]

Ill get my thick pants.

Nah Thief is, Amnesia is scary but there can only be one, and it's Thief.

Anyway, Crysis 2 is awesome, the AI isn't good enough in sp, but it all comes together in mp. Tracking footsteps and all that, screw armour, speed and a SMG for teh win

#winning

[Prussian to the Iron]

Ok, so I am in the middle of my first encounter with the walking monster that can kill you, after you

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

blow up the blockage of rocks, and get the rods or something for the elevator

.

Holy. Mother. *******. Balls.

It is 4:24 PM, I have the tv on, lots of daylight coming through the window, and am making a deliberate attempt to stay cool.

After unwittingly opening a door with this thing behind it, running for my life (blindly, because a flashback thing activated and I couldnt see), and coming back from my hiding spot to see it standing in the cooridor I had to pass through to proceed, I was sort of scared. and it was intense hiding from it behind a counter so I could get past it.

But when I kept going, thinking I wouldn't see him anymore for a while, and ran RIGHT INTO HIS ******* FACE!!!! I screamed as loud as I could repeatedly like a little girl. my brother literally yelled for my 9 year old sister to shut up.

After going into my little brothers room to calm down, I came back, ran the hell away, and barricaded myself (thoroughly) into a room. I don't know what to do now, I reallllly dont wanna load that save back, but I know I have to.

[Hooahguy]

Why do you like hurting yourself?

[Prussian to the Iron]

Haha my mom rushed upstairs after several other encounters that ended similarly (with me screaming at the top of my lungs in a pitch I didnt know I could reach), and inquired similarly. I just have to. I don't have a reason but I feel compelled to finish this game, even if it means losing my voice screaming my face off.

[Hooahguy]

You are insane.

[Prussian to the Iron]

Quite possibly.

[Veho Nex]

I beat it in one night. From 12 am to 4am it took me.
