Ugh....I think collectively in my 2 years of wow....I might have been close to 365 days

It was pretty bad

yachties23 · 12-20-2011, 08:50 PM

I wasn't that bad but I was pushing close to half a year on my main.

iamsolitary · 12-22-2011, 02:10 AM

I tried not to start playing The Old Republic.... I really tried...

I failed.

I started playing Arkham City.
I'm probably in the minority, but I find the gameplay a bit convoluted.
The Main storyline is all over the map,
and traveling from one destination to another is unappealing to me.
All the gliding and grappling reminds of the NES game Bionic Commando.
If they wanted an open map, they should've given us a Batmobile to drive around.
I'm only about 3hrs in, hopefully it gets better.

I actually felt the same way. After a couple of sessions, I gave up. I got the new Assassin's Creed for Christmas but haven't fired it up yet.

So apparently dancing with ANY NPC is star wars will make them dance back. And this has been used to interrupt a boss' spell casting by some.

Hilarious little flaws....

BTW - I still haven't played it. Just saw the post about it on a gaming forum and thought I'd mention it here.

Bill86 · 01-04-2012, 08:22 PM

I've yet to get Arkham City. I never finished Skyrim (waiting on patches, the glitches are rampant and annoying), and also barely started Revelations (just not into it

).

I'm in the same boat on Arkham City and Revelations. BF3 multiplayer (I know I know - you don't do MP) has been eating my gaming time. REALLY enjoying the game.

Hmmm....Perhaps I'll give it a shot. I couldn't complete the single player, too annoying.

Installing Arkham city now. We'll see if I get into it.

Revelations....eh....

backwoods357 · 01-05-2012, 07:30 PM

I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one shunning MMO's, I lost many a good gaming buddy to WoW. I'm fighting buying BF3, and starting to lose. I absolutely loved BF2 and seeing them bring back Karkand almost made me drag out the debit card. I think I'll just focus on beefing up/pimping out my gaming rig and wait for Bioshock infinite.

Does anyone have a copy of Bioshock 2 retail that would be willing to rip me an iso? My disk grew legs and left my special edition box set unusable, and when I contacted support they said I had to buy a new copy of the game, no replacement disks.

Bill86 · 01-05-2012, 07:32 PM

PM inbound.

Bill86 · 01-05-2012, 11:06 PM

Just starting playing Arkham City. I really wish the combat was more entertaining. Like Assassin's creed style or something. Not just mash the mouse.

madwilliamflint · 01-12-2012, 12:10 PM

Weird. I haven't had glitch problems with Skyrim. Finished main, thieves, DB, mages, etc. Still more stuff to do but waiting for DLCs now.

SWTOR is sucking my life. 8 republic toons 20+. Imperial is just too damn nasty. Though I'd really love to play spy and bounty hunter. I may wait for expansions and give it another go. At this rate most of my republic toons are gonna be pinned at 50 in a few months.

Skyrim was one huge glitch...but in a kidn of adorable way. My horse walking straight up a hill...small animals flying a million miles...pretty hilarious.

So weird. I had none of that.

Worst I had was some of the normal clipping stuff (to be expected) and the odd quest that wouldn't complete once I deposed the stormcloaks.

Apparently you can't return the Helm of Winterhold to the Jarl if the Jarl's not the Jarl anymore. Or something like that.

Bill86 · 01-13-2012, 02:53 AM

I had a problem with quite a few of the quests. Especially since you are able to complete them before they are available. I still never finished Skyrim or Revelations.

I dunno, ACR never pulled me in.

Skyrim got annoyingly glitchy. I'll wait for a patch or two and finish it.

Anything new coming out? Anything worthwhile?

Final Fantasy XIII-2 on Jan 31st - on 360/PS3
Twisted Metal in early Feb - on PS3
SSX at the end of Feb - on 360/PS3
Mass Effect 3 at the beginning of March - on PC/360/PS3
Ridge Racer at the beginning of March - on PC/360/PS3

Syndicate (don't know much about it) at the end of Feb - PC/360/PS3
Inversion (don't know much about it) at the end of Feb/early March - PC/360/PS3

That is pretty much my watch list.

madwilliamflint · 01-17-2012, 01:53 PM
