Re: Games thread!
 

So I just heard a rumor that GTA5 will be released on March 1st and it's supposed to be on the December issue of Game Informer.......I don't believe that, they have never released a GTA game that early, so time will tell.

Re: Games thread!
 

Guess I better catch up and finally complete San Andreas and GTA IV. I liked both of those, but couldn't really get into them. The series peaked with Vice City. Greatest game of all time. Well, maybe a tie between that and Super Mario Bros.

I miss the small map where I could memorize every single turn, corner, jump, and building. I haven't played it in years and I can still give you directions to anywhere you wanted to go in Vice City to this day. Not to mention the greatest soundtrack of all time.

Re: Games thread!
 

I think as developers reach the limits of current gen consoles sequels are becoming more or less content updates. It wouldn't surprise me at all if gta5 came out very soon and looked exactly like gta4 with a different story and cast. Hell look how fast they crap out assassins creed games.

Re: Games thread!
 

They already made three separate games out of GTA IV. GTA V will be set back in Los Santos/San Andreas.

But you're right about new games being just content updates, especially over at EA. I'm sick of the Madden series. I refuse to buy the new ones every year just for roster updates.

Re: Games thread!
 

just got my fall update on xbox. in typing this from there using ie9

Re: Games thread!
 

AMEN! Was wondering if I was the only one that thought the Madden series was starting to get stretched a little thin...

Re: Games thread!
 

Just beat Max Payne this morning.....great ending!

Soooo, I found out I have over 20k points on my Gamestop Powerups rewards thing, so I just bought the coupon for $20 off a used game....now I need suggestions on what to get next?

I am looking for a 20-50 hour game, nothing really with a bunch of side missions, like Max Payne this was a great game for me, I usually only get about an hour to pay in the mornings and maybe 2 hours on Sunday nights so nothing too long.

I am thinking about:

The Witcher (but I head the difficulty is wonky, either too easy on easy and too hard on medium)

Sleeping Dogs

NHL 2013

Send em' too me, will probably go tomm after the event or maybe Sunday.

Re: Games thread!
 

The Witcher is a great game, the story is great and you get to make a lot of choices. #1 was great, #2 is even better. I had no issues with the difficulty being too hard, it was pretty easy throughout with some decently hard parts. People complaining about the difficulty are just nitpicking because honestly there isn't a lot to ***** about with the game.

Re: Games thread!
 

I have been pretty happy with Assassins Creed 3. Isn't as good as the last few, main character and story line aren't as good, but they made some nice improvements and there is a heck of a lot to do.

Re: Games thread!
 

Thanks guys, The Witcher is still on my radar, I didn't see it when I was there, but check out this deal:

I picked up AC3 for $6!!!!!! I had the $20 off coupon for a used game, traded in Max Payne for $12 :td and had $6.97 left over from a gift card from last Christmas

Also, my buddy gave me Dishonored, so I am tackling both now

Re: Games thread!
 

I can't wait to try it out. The Revolutionary War setting looks awesome.

Re: Games thread!
 

AC III has an Easter egg with the Konami code. Look it up! Enter the konami code at a certain spot and you will see the Turkey Assassin! I'm always happy to see the Konami code in today's ga,es, no matter how ridiculous.

Re: Games thread!
 

Finished up XCOM yesterday. I had a ton of fun with that game - I've already started a second campaign - but I'm not going to be trying to make it through this one quite as quickly.

I've been playing around with sleeping dogs lately. It is fun enough - the EXACT same story line as True Crimes, though.

I seem to spend most of my time trying to convince myself to not play WoW again. I want to so badly, though...

Try this if this doesn't convince you WoW is evil and manipulative, nothing will.

Re: Games thread!
 

In honor of the soon to come out GTA V, I'm playing some GTA IV. Nowhere as good as Vice City nor as addictive, but it's still a great game. I miss the small map from Vice City that I still have memorized in my head even though I haven't played it in years. Plus, Vice City had the greatest soundtrack of all time!

Re: Games thread!
 

Announced yesterday G4 cancels X-play and Attack Of The Show, new shows will air until the end of the year.

Basically G4 cancels G4

Bye Bye Comic Con and E3 Coverage

Re: Games thread!
 

I finished on Normal setting and had a blast, so I started a Classic campaign a few weeks ago. For some reason, it's significantly harder than I expected the second time through. And that's even after I feel like I'm playing smarter, especially on the tactical missions. I think the game cheats.

Re: Games thread!
 

Picked up Endless Space this weekend. Ended up getting sucked in to it for Endless Time, which seems only appropriate I suppose.

I get blindsided by all of those games, (Civ*, etc.) I'm cruising along and all of a sudden my population happiness is at 3% and I encounter a single enemy fleet that's insanely powerful.

Re: Games thread!
 

Enjoying AC3 so far....was walking and cougar jumped on my head and that is one hat you don't want to be wearing brothers........man scared the sh!t out of me lol

Re: Games thread!
 

...freaking WoW...I couldn't stay away any longer...

I feel like turning in my WoWAA chip, man.

Re: Games thread!
 

HA! Don't feel bad man. I went back to spreadsheets in space.

I MAY tag WoW again, just to see what's up.

Re: Games thread!
 

So many good steam sales! I wish Valve wasn't so good at taking my money :r

Re: Games thread!
 

I've got to say, nothing is really hitting me this time around.

The problem of course is that it's only because I've bought everything already :-/

I DID just discover though that Origins has a Command & Conquer collection for download for $25 that's awesome. No more screwing around with Zero Hours CDs.

Re: Games thread!
 

I picked up XCOM and Dishonored and received Doom 3 BFG edition as a gift. I've been busy, Dishonored and XCOM atre bot hgreat and the best part about the Doom 3 bfg edition is the classic doom wads. Used a wad/mod called brutal doom and it is sick!

Re: Games thread!
 

I got Dead Island for Christmas and I can't stop playing it...anyone played or still playing this and wanna co-op?

Re: Games thread!
 

They got me.

The "grand encore" sale had XCOM. Everybody raves about it, so I pulled the trigger. Downloading now.

Besides, I can only fruitlessly farm The Warrior so many times before just getting bored. Until they raise the level cap in Borderlands 2 I'm backing off. (Though I'll hit next week's DLC, to be sure.)

Re: Games thread!
 

So I'm watching some footage from DmC 2013...this doesn't even look vaguely like a devil may cry game. It makes me sad :(

Re: Games thread!
 

Never played any of 'em. Console thing?

Re: Games thread!
 

Mostly yeah. It is...er....WAS a game all about technical combos. The trick was seeing how to combine each attack to get the highest rating.

The story line and ambiance were also pretty cool.

But in this generation they have change the main character, made the ambiance one where even the walls say f*** you (no, seriously, it is written on the walls), and you can get the highest score via pure button mashing.

DEAD :(

Re: Games thread!
 

Battlefield anyone? XBL makeupee yurslf I'll be on for a bit.

Re: Games thread!
 

The Walking Dead, has anyone played this downloadable game on Xbox Live? This is how games should be made.....lots of choices and very hard choices at that. Very emotional game....I played episode 1 (out of 5) and I'm hooked now.

This is also available as a free download on the iPhone.

Re: Games thread!
 

I like TWD on XBLA, Especially since each episode is 5.00 and you can buy them at your leisure, like you I was hooked and bought ep.2 but have yet to venture farther, ep. 2 is way better than 1, way more to do.

Re: Games thread!
 

I just finished Ep 2 & downloaded 3......whew still an emotional roller coaster ride.

Re: Games thread!
 

Crysis 3 - good but I liked the first two games better
Mechwarrior Online - good timesink
Dead Space 3 - enjoyed it, I def recommend

Bunch of good games coming out this month. I'm looking forward to Castlevania Mirrors of Fate, Bioshock Infinite, Starcraft 2 zerg expansion, Army of Two (had fun with the first two games!) and the new Tomb Raider.

Re: Games thread!
 

Bio Shock infinite is the only game I have thought about buying in a while, but still then I might wait for it to become digital on XBLA. Far cry 3 is already on demand, they're turning them over quicker now. Hopefully this is the trend, I can't wait for the day I can download digital day of the release. Hell I just got Fallout 3 last night for 5$ almost got the first bioshock also for 5$ but knew the new one was coming out, so I held off.

Re: Games thread!
 

Just finished The Walking Dead last night..........Wow what an ending.

I am looking forward to Bioshock

Re: Games thread!

Final Fantasy X / X-2 trailers.

I'M READY - BRING IT

Re: Games thread!
 

Working my way through Hitman: Absolution.

What are you all playing these days? A bunch of Bioshock junkies, I assume.

Re: Games thread!
 

I took a break and uninstalled everything for a while. But I'd actually been cranking heavy in Skyrim again. BL2 had it's level cap increase but it's just too little too late. I'll play the new class when it comes out, but enough is enough.


I'll go back and put a few dozen more hours in Skyrim I'm sure. I have yet to do the latest DLC.

Re: Games thread!
 

Threw in Guitar Hero Warriors Of Rock and have been spazzing out to that as of late.

Re: Games thread!
 

So I succumbed to the draw and reinstalled steam and Dishonored, which I bought but had never gotten past the prologue of.

Good Lord is that fun. I've just reached the point where... I was saying to myself "well, that was short" then there was a wonderful plot twist. So don't go spoilin' it.

I'm going perfectly nonlethal the whole way through. It's a little easier than I expected. But that's okay. My next playthrough I'm going to kill EVERYthing.

Re: Games thread!
 

Just finished Dead Island on Sunday and picked up Lego Batman 2 for a whopping $16!

Re: Games thread!
 

Gotta hop in on this after seeing there was a thread for it!

Unless specified, presume everything I'm playing is for the PS3.

As of late, it's been all about Injustice. Quite possibly one of the best fighting games out there -- absolutely loving that. Both story mode and multiplayer is worth it; a solid investment.

Redbox'ed Bioshock Infinite and spent an overnight beating it. (Well, not overnight, just most of an afternoon, evening, and late night hours.) Liked it, didn't LOVE it.

Still chugging through Kingdoms of Amalur, which satisfies my jones for fantasy games, given that I sold my copy of Skyrim back when Bethesda wasn't going to release DLC for the PS3.

Re: Games thread!
 

Not a fighter fan, but what I have seen of this really looks good, last fighter I played was probably Tekken 3

I have heard that about Bioshock, shame really because i loved the 1st 2....oh bring on Saints Row and GTA :banger

Re: Games thread!
 

The single thing I'm jealous of you console gamers for is the ability to rent and sell used games.

Re: Games thread!
 

Went back to playing Rainbow Six Vegas 2 recently, $6.00 for a used copy:tu
Gotta love terrorist hunt!

Re: Games thread!
 

Helly yeah! I'm excited about the new one, but I doubt I will buy on release day.

Re: Games thread!
 

I picked up Injustice for Xbox 360, I hate the 360 controller for fighting games though so it went back a couple days later.

Re: Games thread!
 

Injustice is essentially the same engine as Mortal Kombat; the story line is sweet in that you're not playing one character all the way through. You switch up, which makes the story more intelligent (although you obviously have to suspend disbelief).

GTA V's preordered already (!) and I just watched the footage from E3 yesterday at work (TV's in the restaurant) of Saints Row 4. Holy cripes. Battlefield also looked sick -- I'm not very good at it, but they demo'ed (live) a 64-person multiplayer match with all players on the stage at once. It was SWEET.

Re: Games thread!
 

Honestly, I'm not a huge fan of the controller for the PS3 for fighting games! The analog stick doesn't want to do what I want it to -- it makes me long for the old school "stand up arcade" version.
