But it does seem a little... I dunno... too much and not enough. We'll see.

Decided to re-up on EvE after a while. Boy has THAT changed!

It's worth a play through....parts of it had me

....but only parts....

The problem of course is the 12 year wait and A LOT of expectations but they could have at least given more than 8 hours of single player. Some say it's 15, I say that's if you're looking to do everything the first time around.

You play? TF2 is my favorite online fps, my steam handle is Jarcaddy. And yes everybody go get it, it's some of the most fun you can have online!

Indeed but for me there's no new PC games I haven't played yet worth a $hit. I tried dungeon siege III lasted like 3 minutes ....AWFUL gameplay.

Same. You need a gamepad or else it controls like crap. The gameplay I thought was ok, kinda Diablo esque.

Again, go get TF2!

heh. Steam just brought on the free to plays. Been digging Forsaken Worlds a little and Global Agenda a lot.

Free FTW!

Anyone have thoughts on the Wii-U?
I've always been a Nintendo fanboy, but this new system looks like they pretty much dropped the ball. I mean it looks cool and all, but how do you demo a new system without any real games for the hardcore gamer? At least show us a new Mario game for it. All i've seen being played is golf, some pirate game that was geared for 6yr olds, and some board games.

I'm on the fence about it. I'll probably buy it, third party support looks better, better hardware, etc. It's that controller, I dunno how I feel about that.

That or you were downloading a custom map from a slow server. I really hate that they made tf2 free. Here come all the damn kids.

Bill86 · 06-29-2011, 10:06 PM

I don't play it online...bots FTW. I see no reason to play games online I cannot stand kids.

Well its not really worth it then. The fun of it really comes from the multiplayer as it is still so well balanced. And with the game being out for so long before it went free you have a mix of people who are really good, ad a lot who aren't, so it's a little easier to break in to it now. And you honestly should try it multi at least once, the TF2 community isn't really kiddies, it's nothing like COD and the like.

I'm pretty much with you on this. I've started with CoD:BO playing with other people but it's just an instant death every time. The skill curve just seems to high.

Yeah, I'm not THAT into any game. I just mostly play them for the stories.....an interactive movie.

Steam summer sale going on right now!

Blak Smyth · 07-07-2011, 05:49 AM

I only play online with friends.
A video game can't keep my attention without friends.
I have my settings so I can't hear anybody that is not on my friends list, this makes it a very enjoyable experience. You don't have to listen to the screaming and whinning.

madwilliamflint · 07-07-2011, 07:49 AM

See I don't have friends who are gamers. I'm entirely solo PvE, with as much crafting as I can manage. Currently I'm a Rift crackhead, though with The Game That Must Not Be Named having just opened up as free to play up to L20, I'll probably go play over there for a bit.

Rift is pretty good. I just don't know if I really play it enough to make it worth while (played about 3 days out of my 7 day trial)

WoW is the devil's game. But if you are playing solo PvE it shouldn't eat you away. It is when you start high end PVP or raiding that it becomes a time suck.
