I know what you mean, call of duty has been the exact same game for going on 6 or 7 years now, and still making money hand over fist. MW4 is going to eventually come out and be basically the same game, it will probably break records too. Hopefully developers like Bethesda and bioware will keep producing buggy, epic, SP games for us to enjoy but ME3 going online has me doubting that. Next thing you know we'll have a fallout MMO and lose another good SP franchise to online play.

Ok, I can come back now. I finished my first ME3 run on Thursday with a save straight through from 1 and 2. (Infiltrator, Paragon and of course, Tali)

I was so set up by the talk I'd heard to just throw the monitor across the room that it just didn't bother me. I thought it was pretty creative, though I would have liked there to be more variety in the possible endings. It IS awfully odd how it just dumps you back on the Normandy after the conclusion if you want to keep playing.

And that actually is what I liked about the Skyrim ending. Yeah, you saved the world. But then the world is saved. It's still there. You can go back and do stuff pretty seamlessly. It works for me.

I'm actually gonna go start up a second runthrough of ME3.

Talking about Bethesda the original fallout games are still the best ones you can play 1-2 and to some extent tactics though i found them kinda hard to get working on my win7 machine but they play fine on my old XP one.

Fallout 3 never worked right for me and would always crash after a hour to two but it was still a good game even better with some of the mods you can get.

New vegas is iffy at best it just dosnt feel like a fallout no vaults (that you come from) no enclave and far FAR to many energy weapons to early on a laser rifle should be a coveted item in fallout not a dime a dozen.

Oblivion is still amazing with amazing mods.

Skyrim is amazing and the mods are just getting better (i pity people on console that cant get the enchanted elven butt plug mod)

And cod has been able to be the best because of the sheer amount of fanboys and tryhards unlike cod2/4 that has a dedicated community of people and a good amount of great mods unlike mw2-3 which has no mods and a bunch of whiny American (sorry its true) kids that are no older than 10 constantly on the mic.

Funny you mention the whiny kids. They are 95% of the reason I stay off Xbox live.

Yep. I play games when I DON'T want to interact with people. Of course this does tend to make MMOs a bit less interesting then I guess they could be. But it ain't worth it.

oooo35980 · 04-01-2012, 03:03 PM

MMOs are pretty boring anyway. There is something about 40 people standing next to the same NPC, having the same conversation, about the same quest, that makes me not give a crap if I never get it done.

Louistogies · 04-02-2012, 04:39 PM

I was also pretty disappointing about the ME3 ending. It wasn't the powerful ending I was hoping for. But I'm hoping they release a DLC for the ending. I'm not gonna play again till then.

oooo35980 · 04-02-2012, 04:49 PM

Just do what I do and play until you get back to earth then start a new character.

Any Gears of War 3 nuts still out there? I am looking forward to Borderlands 2 and South Park: The RPG GREATLY.... but until then I am basically investing and have been investing all my time in some Gears!
-If anyone needs help doing Beast/Horder/Campaign etc etc on Insane look me up! I need another challenge =]

I am FIENDING for Borderlands 2.

It's bad. Steam's accounting has got to be broken because it says I've got over 260 hours on Borderlands.

I sure hope you're right. It's got the potential.

I had over 400 hours on that game. Every character at max, which I believe was 63?

It is what I compare other RPGs to now. It was put together well.

Everytime I saw a chest I started

They know how to build hype around a game to, their trailers are the best I've ever seen.

Borderlands 2 can't fail...

madwilliamflint · 04-08-2012, 07:35 PM

Well, leave it to Ashley Burch to push me over the edge on Saints Row 3.

That's some hilarious fun right there.

But soon as I get to 'medium' activities I get trounced.

HEY ASH, WHATCHA PLAYIN?

I love that series.

I played BF3 for about an hour and a half yesterday - first time that I've played a video game in several weeks.

So I just crossed into Luchador territory and I'm getting trounced any time I run in to one of Oleg's 'kids' (the ones with the flame throwers most notably.)

Is that just a sign to retreat into conquered territory for a few upgrades/levels?

On another note I'm DYING to replay the penthouse capture mission just to hear the soundtrack from the trailer again.

madwilliamflint · 04-15-2012, 08:24 AM

Oh, and if you've got a taste for TRULY old school RPGs, do yourself a favor and go pick up "Legend of Grimrock" on steam for $15ish. It captures the old Wizardry 1 type theme very well. It plays wondefully.

Apoco · 04-15-2012, 07:56 PM

I was chatting with a friend today when the topic of Final Fantasy came up.

I realized that I never actually beat FF13-2 - I got distracted. Working on fixing that right now.

Within half an hour I remember why I had quit.

Non-linear games sound so fun...until you don't know what to do next. I have 16 worlds to chose from - and I can see the % complete in each one but I know that I pick up specific skills in some required to complete others. Ugh

I finally just googled a walk through to get me back on track. I had to go back to a specific time period and do a specific quest to move the story line forward. BUT - at least I'm back on the path!
