Thanks to steam (bastards) I pulled down the last two Red Faction games. Armageddon has promise at $20. The magnet gun is fun, reeking though it does of "give us a gravity gun like HL2 but...make it different enough so it's not so obvious we just stole the idea."

I was just checking to see when Assassin's Creed revelations comes out and saw an awesome sale going down on Amazon.

Preorder for PS3? $60
Preorder for Xbox? $60
Preorder for PC (with DVD-rom shipped to you)? $50
Preorder for PC (download)? $35

I know which one I'm doing! Heck - brotherhood is still $20 - or get the new one for $15 extra!

Re: Games thread!
 

After bailing an hour in to the first one I'm just having a hard time with the idea of diving back in to the franchise. I know people keep saying how they fixed it. but... yeesh.

Once bitten.

Re: Games thread!
 

The first Assassin's Creed is rough, the second is MUCH better....Brotherhood :banger

Love Brotherhood, Revelations will be EPIC!

Re: Games thread!
 

So Steam has a "Free to Play" weekend on Warhammer 40k dawn of war 2 "Retribution". Can't seem to get to it to try it, but they've been pretty good to me so far (40k strategy games) and the price deal is sweet, so if I can get to the free to play to demo it I may end up with it.

I still miss C&C Generals: Zero Hour for classic RTS goodness though :)

Re: Games thread!
 

Trying Might and Magic VI out, we'll see. Looks alright, sadly though I was more impressed with the old school ones.

Re: Games thread!
 

aren't they all turn-based grid layout combat now?

Re: Games thread!
 

Yep.

Just like the old school game Heroes of Might and Magic.

Re: Games thread!
 

Gak. none for me thanks, I'm driving.

Re: Games thread!
 

I watched the MLG for Starcraft 2 this weekend. Idra's run was INSANE. I feel so bad for him that he had to play that many games back-to-back. He was playing fantastically but it got rougher as time went on...who knows what a break would have done for him :(

Gamefly (figured I would give it a shot) delivered Deus Ex:HR for the PS3. Been enjoying it - it reinforces the fact that I have no idea how to play a stealth game. So far my approach has been "hope to find enough ammo". I hit the first boss last night right before I hit the hay - guess I will pick it back up when I get home. :tu

Sorry to intrrupt this thread, but
BATMAN: ARKHAM CITY drops tomorrow!!!! :noon:noon

Re: Games thread!
 

you should see how I play the Hitman games :r

I'm definitely no silent assassin :D

I've seen so many mass murderer ratings it's not even funny. I just suck at the stealth.

I've got to get Arkham city

Re: Games thread!
 

God I love stealth games. One of my favorite things to do (in context) is play Crysis on Delta with the added goal of "zero enemy shots fired." (for human enemies.) I spend a lot of time hiding in the bushes sniping into mobs then retreating into hiding.

The Thief games were awesome.

I need MOAR!

Re: Games thread!
 

Not for PC :td

We've gotta wait till 11/8/11 :td

So stupid. :fl

Re: Games thread!
 

It's worth the wait. I consoled it and you know what, was worth every penny. I'm loving it so and with all the extra content, side quests, riddler challenges, etc, i'm going to be at it for a long time :D

Re: Games thread!
 

Well that makes me feel a bit better. Still I hate the different day releases, makes no sense to me.

Re: Games thread!
 

Bummer dude

Yes, this will last me at least until March when Mass Effect 3 is released.

Re: Games thread!
 

quit cryin or get a console :sl

Re: Games thread!
 

Not gonna get BF3 or MW4?

Re: Games thread!
 

I've been sticking with FF7 lately. I got to about the middle of disc 3 when I was younger...then my game corrupted. I'm about half way through what would be disc 1 now.

Still have Deus Ex: HR that I'm slowly wittling my way through.

I wasn't a huge fan of Arkham Asylum - albeit I only played 3-4 hours of it. Just wasn't my thing :sh

Re: Games thread!
 

If I do get them they will be used copies or Christmas gifts, I do want to play them, but I hate online MP and the single player campaign is not not long enough to throw $60 at

Now Saints Row The Third.....BOUGHT!

Dude!??? :jd Never heard anyone say they didn't care for BATMAN, need to replay that sucka.

Re: Games thread!
 

Count me as another. Just wasn't very compelling.

Re: Games thread!
 

Oh well, to each their own I suppose.

Re: Games thread!
 

Whaaaaaaaaaaat?

Re: Games thread!
 

Has anyone looked into "Dungeon Defenders" on the PC? Looks like a fun game.

Re: Games thread!
 

I am loving Arkham City. Great game!

Re: Games thread!
 

Agreed! I met Joker last night (no spoilers, just sayin') AWESOME!

Re: Games thread!
 

I keep looking at that on Steam. I ended up deciding against it. They kept hitting the "you and N friends..." button, which shuts me out of it.

Looks like I'm shutting down most gaming until SWTOR comes out though. It's sucking my life out. Unsubbed from all my mmos, Deleted all my steam games other than Mass Effect 1&2.

I've been noodling with Glitch. Cute idea but a little slow and 2d for me. (http://glitch.com/)

Re: Games thread!
 

Started Arkham City last night. Doesn't look like its going to disappoint.

Re: Games thread!
 

I was reading the review of that on GI...10 out of 10!!

It looks pretty impressive, so I may have to pick that one up...I've been holding out for Battlefield 3 and Modern Warfare 3.

Re: Games thread!
 

So far it kicks arse!!!!

It's HUGE!

Re: Games thread!
 

The article was saying there was something like 440 missions/challeges for the Joker alone!!! :jd That's insane!!!

Re: Games thread!
 

WOW!!!!! Gonna keep me busy, that's good.

Re: Games thread!
 

Trying Payday right now, this game seems like it has some potential so far though I find tazering completely Not plausible and annoying.

Re: Games thread!
 

Blizzaed released the new D3 cinematic today! Still cant wait for this game !!!!!

Re: Games thread!
 

Nice find.

Alright I'm probably 65-70% through Payday already. I think it should have been renamed to Operation : Extreme Redundancy. Endless waves of enemies take away any chance of realism this game had and I do mean endless. I think in 3 missions my kill count is over 300.

Very cool idea, very poor execution.

Also the play time is probably 8 hours or so. Depends on who quickly you can do the missions and how many times you have to do them.

There is only 6 though.

Re: Games thread!
 

I finished up Deus Ex: Human Revolution last night.

I really dislike that style of ending...I won't explain that further to avoid spoiling.

However - it was still a fun game. It had about 12-16 hours of game time for me (I didn't do very many of the side quests). It was worth the week of my gamefly...now to see how bad the turn around time is for them :r

Re: Games thread!
 

I agree about the ending. I think I mentioned that earlier, maybe not.

Fun game though, just wish it had more playing time.

This game Payday: The Heist is somehow painfully addicting. I think I am at 16 hours so far. Most have been played on the same heist over and over again. So much can go wrong.... Kinda keeps you playing.

I just wish it was more involved. Sequels of this game that would be more advanced would be awesome. More heists too.

Pretty cool though.

Re: Games thread!
 

Oh man! I'm so excited. I was just googling to look at FFX (I've gotta admit - I adore this game. Even more-so than FF7) cause I've been considering a replay...they're gonna remaster it in HD.

That means I can finish off my FF7 replay (Or we can call it "Actually finishing the damn game this time"-play) then wait till 10-HD comes out.

Bill - Have you looked into "Orcs Must Die!" yet? I've been ejoying it for PC - single player tower defense style game. Might be worth a look.

Re: Games thread!
 

Ok...so who picked up BF3 yesterday?

I was able to play for 11 minutes and then I couldn't sign into the servers until about 4 hours later. From what I've played so far, I like it. :tu I'm counting down the minutes until I can leave work and fire that bad-boy up. :D

Re: Games thread!
 

GTA 5 has been announced!!!! Trailer will be released on 11/2

Re: Games thread!
 

I hope it's better than 4. Nothing was better than Vice City IMHO.

Re: Games thread!
 

I liked VC better too, but I really enjoyed 4 better than San Andreas.

Re: Games thread!
 

Battlefield 3 anyone??? anyone???

Exactly.

And I was really stoked about BF3 but the horror stories about EA Origins is really scaring me off. I am also in another crunch time at work...so...yeah.

Re: Games thread!
 

I was conteplating picking it up, then I heard that the newest installment is far too similar to Modern Warfare. I am a huge FPS fan, but with Battlefield 3 sandwiched in between Gears of War 3 and Modern Warfare 3, I think I will be skipping it all together. :hm

Re: Games thread!
 

I still might pick it up, I was such a huge fan of #2 and I never got around to picking up GoW3.

Re: Games thread!
 

Anyone want to play SC2? I picked it back up a few weeks ago. Just a silver leaguer but I'm working on it.

Re: Games thread!
 

Rumor has it that GTA 5 will be in L.A. and more than one playable character
