Just kill things. grab a shotgun, broad sword/axe, and a few combo items and kill things. enjoy.

i've got my eye on the new civilization v. i'm a civ junkie, can't seem to get enough of that game. i love it because you can customize it to be a short game, or make it last for hours and hours and each time you play it the game is different. highly recommend it for folks who like games like simcity mixed with risk.

If you open your watch and select a quest it will arrow you towards your objective. And if you can't find zombrex you can just buy it at the pawn shop.
The bigger question is why worry, the story sucks, it's all about mindlessly killing zombies in fun and creative ways. The moment I duck taped a pitchfork to a shotgun I knew the game was going to be absolutely absurd.

Two big new releases today, Fable 3 and Force Unleashed 2.

Re: Games thread!
 

I'm avoiding buying this game. I think I need to get a new laptop and then this game can maybe start happening on the train. The original is why I started gaming in the first place, and it's a slippery slope, not dissimilar to some other slopes you may be familiar with.

I must admit that I chuckled a little seeing your comparison to simcity. simcity is multiple orders of magnitude below Civ in terms of complexity. It's like comparing reading a single day of a newspaper comic strip to reading the Lord of the Rings.

For anyone playing Fallout: New Vegas on 360, maybe you can help.

I am idolized by the Boomers inside Nellis AFB. As soon as I attempt to exit or re-enter via the gate I am blown to ****. I'm not wearing NCR armor, I don't know what's up.

Anyone?

Re: Games thread!
 

I am convinced it's a glitch, but I got around it. All is well.

Anyone out here playing LOTRO? If so, I play on the Riddermark server.

Re: Games thread!
 

Well, I renewed WoW. It is a hell of a lot of fun, and I set the parental controls on my own account to only let me play for 3 hours in any given day. Sometimes I need help managing myself :D

Assassins Creed brotherhood is pretty awesome.If you like either of the first two games, pick this one up, much improved combat system :tu

Re: Games thread!
 

I just tried playing assassins creed the first one. My god this game is stupid and annoying. I hear the second one is better but I want to hear the story behind the first one.

Beat dead rising 2, darksiders and CoD Black Ops. What is the deal lately with games that annoy the piss out of you intentionally? I just want a good story line that moves you through the game, not to be confused/messed with for 15 hours of gameplay.

Black Ops - 5 hours of campaign play.....disappointed, liked MW2 much better. Stupid flashy strobe is headache heaven.
Darksiders - 16 hours of nonstop puzzles and annoyance. The last 2 bosses were give mes.
Dead Rising 2 - 14 hours of way too many zombies that spawn out of nowhere. Piss poor AI and time limits (the most annoying conceivable thing possible to put in a game)

I find most games are easily beatable and offer VERY little playing time. 5-15 hours is unacceptable.

Been playing Castlevania: Rondo of Blood on the Wii virtual console. Excellent game!:tu:tu

Re: Games thread!
 

Indeed, Rondo was one of the best of the early CVs. They made a remake of it two years ago that was pretty good.

I'm on vacation, been playing some Team Fortress 2 on my laptop :tu

Re: Games thread!
 

GT5 is out today :sad I don't know if I can put down BlackOps.

Re: Games thread!
 

Might wait a day or two before picking up anything new. Some good black friday deals right around the corner.

Re: Games thread!
 

Just beat Kane & Lynch 2, not sure why...AWFUL game. Literally a 3 hour play time campaign "story". Not sure what the story was but it was really bad.

Oh I know why I played it....internet went out.

Re: Games thread!
 

What would possess you to buy one of the worst games of the year? You should read some reviews before picking your games, you complain alot most of them sucking :td

Today, i'm working off Tday dinner and maybe will play some Minecraft when people clear out :D

Re: Games thread!
 

See there's where you are mistaken. Who said I bought it? All of the games I review/crap on I didn't buy. I usually do read reviews but I'm a sucker for shooter games and usually give them a break....in this case I could not. It was beyond horrible. I don't know if you needed to play the first one to understand a bit of the story but I really don't think there was one.

Basically I've played too many games. There aren't many good ones left.

The only game I've bought within the past .....2 years is Starcraft II.

Re: Games thread!
 

That's crazy, this has been an unbelievable year for gamers. There has been an over abundance of good games in fact. But considering how many good titles you've labeled as crap you probably wouldn't like any of them.

Thats sad.

Re: Games thread!
 

I only play PC if that makes a difference. I'm no good with those controllers.

I also don't play online if that makes a difference. Far to addicting.

Single player games with good story lines are what I'm enjoying now a days.

Just beat force unleashed 2 ...meh

Mass Effect 2 was probably the only game worth buying to me besides Starcraft 2. I did throughly enjoy beating that twice.

It is also noted that I've been unemployed for 4.5-5 months this year. So buying games I'll just beat and quit isn't really an option, well unless I want to stop buying cigars.

Re: Games thread!
 

I'm assuming since you are pc only and don't buy anything then you are pirating, which sucks if you are :td
