ummmm, it's "around"

Shoot me a PM I'll find a way to send it to you. Won't take much.

I'll probably buy the game but I didn't want to preorder because I want it the day it's released. I'll go to walmart at like 12:15am and pick it up.

Yes, I agree. It's just a fun game, it won't be game of the year but it damn well will entertain.

Did you see the secret area to Dukes Penthouse? Funny posters there of Duke bad@$$ness and more cheesy one liners

Sure did. I got a kick out of it, really looking forward to his one. Only one more week to go (hopefully

)

Bill86 · 06-06-2011, 01:32 PM

8 days, yeah the demo was a bit short but it told me all I need to know, I NEED this game.

Anyone play LA Noire? I was considering picking it up.

Bill86 · 06-06-2011, 06:09 PM

I don't think they released I for PC

Yup...it's awesome!!

If you're looking for GTA IV style gameplay, you'll be disapointed. They definitley targeted the 40's era crime-drama vibe with this one.

Mine is too.

I really didnt like LA Noire the gameplay was a little to slow for my taste.

Apoco · 06-11-2011, 05:50 PM

Finally ordered God of War 2 and 3. THey have arrived - starting on GoW2 right now.

Also - I went to an old friend's house last night to roll my D&D character to join in on the campaign they just started. Should be fun

Bill86 · 06-12-2011, 08:06 PM

Playing Duke Nukem Forever.....this game is kind of annoying...not sure why. Even on easy you can get 2-3 shot. Doesn't make much sense.

They also introduced mini puzzles like in half life. Kinda stupid and non-Duke like...so far I'm giving it a 7/10. We'll see if it gets any better.

Bill86 · 06-13-2011, 07:27 PM

Eh game comes out in a few hours, I just finished it not 2 hours ago. It's not bad, not worth the like $60 pricetag though.....I would have liked to see a longer game, more interactive and less CoD like.

Brutus2600 · 06-13-2011, 10:56 PM

Agreed...the problem is this would've been a great follow-up 10 years ago, but 12 years later it really brought the cheese and weak-sauce.

Bill86 · 06-13-2011, 10:59 PM

Well they made it too much like CS. For 1
2. 2 weapons...wtf, and the freeze gun does nothing....
3. Not enough Duke one liners
4. Needs more smoking, beer drinking and sluts
5. More items should have been interactive
6. EASILY better graphics
7. MUCH more single player.
8. Less puzzles
9. Shrunken Duke was overused and annoying.

I could keep going on and on.....overall I'd give it a 7/10. Assuming they deliver on the next one that is.

Basically I wanted straight forth badassery with nonstop beating the crap out of everything....AKA "Duke"

madwilliamflint · 06-14-2011, 07:26 AM

Yep. Played about 45 minutes of Duke this morning after it unlocked. Some cute stuff there, which I appreciate. I'm sick to death of games with no sense of humor (take that as an implied request for recommendations

).

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!

I demo'ed SS and just didn't like it that much. A bit too much zerg rush for me.

I'm stuck in Portal 2 (one of those blue goo levels.) I could probably go find the solution someplace, but I've got way too much going on in gaming to care much.

"I've come up with a solution to our dilema that I honestly think works best for one of both of us."

"We've both said some things you're going to regret."

GLaDOS FTW! :-)

On a slightly different note, I'm starting to warm up to Brink. The challenge missions as "role" tutors are really solid. The CoD:BO single-player campaign is amazingly tedious. (currently at the vietnam stage.)

I've really got to get the machine shop set up so I can tear myself away from this stuff.
