Games thread!

After MUCH emoness i finally got Fallout 3 working and i goto say what a improvement over new vegas it is.

Unlike new vegas these little things called energy weapons are something to cherish they are hard to maintain and not just given to you at the start of the bloody game a laser pistol in the docs house aye why not just give us some hardened power armour and a turbo plasma rifle to boot.

After doing a small loop around the capital wasteland which for one is a far more believable setting then new vegas i found my stimms where gone and i was resorting to eating anything i could find to stay alive my ammo was being conserved unlike vegas when you have buckets of it and i was using a 10mm SMG instead of the laser rifle i got near the start of the game and i had a good dose of rads to boot.

All in all Fallout 3 is soo much better than NV but still not as good as fallout 1 and 2 the lack of a Frank Horrigan/The Master type just pulls it down a bit.

My GTX 680 video card came in yesterday.

Dear sweet heaven - this thing is amazing. Ultra high quality EVERYTHING.

Playing through some old games the past few months.
Uncharted was awesome!
Uncharted 2 was not as good, but still a great game.
Batman: Arkham Asylum is my favorite game so far.
Batman: Arkham City has more content than the first. I love it, but my heart goes to the original.
Dante's Inferno started off great, but started to get a bit stale midway through. Plays like GOW 3.
God of War 3 was great.
Transformers: War for Cybertron is good, but I haven't finished it.
GTA IV: Good game and creative, but will never compare to Vice City.
Sonic Generations I had high hopes for, but isn't all that.
Little Big Planet 2 was creative, but also hasn't held my interest.
Assassin's Creed II is great so far, but a little slow on the storyline.
Bioshock was excellent but short. I want to check out the next two games.
MW3 is a lot of fun, but I suck at multiplayer. I bought MW2, but I'm even worse at it than MW3.
Marvel vs. Capcom: Fate of Two Worlds is a good fighting game, but I'm not really into fighting games.

AC 2 has a great storyline as the game progresses. Especially the last 3-4 hours. Don't worry - I'll say no more

I'm to a moving puzzle section of FF13-2. It involves timed jumps. I'm not all that skilled with a PS3 controller - so this is 100% maddening to me. I finally just hit save and turned it off last night. But I am determined to finish this game.

I keep reaching for it. I enjoyed a half dozen hours of W1 before I ended up seeing something shiny.

I'm swamped with ME3 (2nd playthrough), Kingdoms of Amablahblahblah and actually Aion and EQ1 now that they're both F2P.

(I loves me some EQ1.

I WILL STAY STRONG AND AVOID EQ1!

I played it for 8 years. I can still remember how to get to the bank in Kelethin, where to turn in the bone chips in Kalimdor, and the most efficient route to take in Paludal Caverns to power level a lowbie with a 60+ druid.

The good old days.

I left soon after Kunark actually. I came back briefly after PoP sometime and realized that was stupid.

Now that I've graduated the n00b zone (and they finally "did something" about health recover rates) I'm the only toon haunting Qeynos and BlackBurrow. It's really strange. The freeness keeps me poking my head back in for an hour or two without worrying about commitment, so I end up playing more. Same thing with Aion, only Aion's...dumber.

Lets see - I started in about August of 1999 and quit in early 2007. I replaced that habit with WoW.

The last expansion i remember playing was Prophecy of Ro - there may have been more after but that is the last one I remember. I can still remember the immense frustration of my first raid in Gates of Discord. After the keying process that took WEEKS - the first raid I went on lasted 7 hours. We made it to the one boss at the back of the zone and wiped on him. By then all the trash had reset and we had to quit.

That's right - 7 hours of CLEARING TRASH and then nothing came of it. That was the last raid I went on in Everquest.

My raider was a Froglok Shaman. Before that I had a dwarven warrior and a wood elf bard. The bard was the most fun to solo on because I could circle kite entire groups around. Circle kiting a group of 16-17 monsters was hilarious. Or glitching High Hold Keep by using a shrink potion and hiding under a table while I killed the ENTIRE ZONE.

...seriously, brain. Why can I remember all of this stuff but none of the stuff I learned in school 2 years ago? Lame.

Anyone know if the Witcher 2 Enhanced Edition is worth a play through? I already played the Witcher 2 regular version.

Finally started working on Batman: Arkham City. It is pretty fun.

Sniper Elite V2 came out on Tuesday and I am LOVING IT. If anyone picked it up for PC and is interested in testing out the co-op let me know.

I Steamed the demo but haven't kicked it off yet. Too busy with other stuff. I figure I play sniper/stealth in every single game that will let me so I'm gonna have to enjoy this.

LOVED Arkham City. Logged way too much time into it

[Bill86]

Still working on the single player but yeah it's good fun so far.

Couldn't stand Arkham City. The first one was good but I dunno, couldn't get into the second.

I tried to log into the Diablo III beta this weekend. I wanted to try out the different classes again before the release next week. Forgot that the beta closed down at the end of April.

I can't wait.

[Bill86]

I have to be honest.....Diablo III just looks terrible. It looks like they used the Starcraft engine and made it all cartoony instead of DARK like the past 2.

I can't see myself liking it at all.

[madwilliamflint]

Loaded up a bunch of demos with the intention of noodling through them all.

BUT I found myself playing the "Warlock: Master of the Arcane" one for about four hours before it timed out.

Guess that says what it says.

I've never been any good at turn based strategy games like that (RoM, CIV, Sim ___.) I always seem to develop happily along then get insta-trounced.

Steam needs to get off their butt and get C&C Generals. The CD load times on that are awful.

[Whipper Snapper]

Diablo 3 releases tomorrow.
Looks like I won't be around here much...

You think it will be that good?

I'm a HUGE D1/D2 fan but I have minimal hopes for DIII. It looks like they cartoonized it and it doesn't look as "dark" as Diablo II was. I really hope I am wrong.

No Paladin either
No Druid

I played the beta.
Diablo has always been about the loot, which there will be plenty of.
I don't mind the "color" so much.
It'll be good
