Rift's 1.5 update brings single-player dungeons, veteran rewards, and alternate advancement once you max out. So I'm back there for now.

I'll wait until steam has a half-priced GOTY edition of RAGE (yeah I know I'm probably talking 2013.) It just doesn't excite me that much.

I was about to pull the trigger on this round of Humble Bundle, and saw a squirrel or something. Today they announced a new addition, which got me thinking: If you buy it and they add something later, can you download that as well? Or is it only the list at time of purchase? I'd pull the trigger now, but if I miss out on something I'll wait until the last hour and do it then instead.

I should have Forza 3 in today to hold me over until Tuesday when Forza 4 comes out

I just took a look at mine - they've added 2 games and I bought in the first day or 2. They're good peoples

I tried Rift. It was a fun game and all - but it just couldn't seem to hold my interest for the 10 day trial. I am considering renewing Everquest 1, though...

Alright just got into the game and upon the first look (first 5 minutes)

John Goodman's voice is used

(Big Lebowski, Walter)

It LOOKS like this is going to be Half life 2 Meets Doom 3. I've got high hopes for this one.

I'll post more tonight after I get a few hours in.

Just read a great review over here

Too bad I'm not a console guy :-/

Or perhaps it's a good thing.

I dunno, i'm not feeling it. It's not bad, but aside from the eye candy it's pretty average.

Bill86 · 10-06-2011, 03:55 PM

I'm only 1.5 hours in. No doubt it's lacking a bit but I think it will be at least worth a play through.

Does it pick up any? I've only played for a little and it was fetch quest after fetch quest.

hammondc · 10-06-2011, 04:00 PM

Anyone playing the Battlefield 3 Beta? I am DL it now. xbl

No spoilers but yeah its taking a different turn.

It seems they are getting you ready for ....something, not sure what yet.

You're definitely "gearing up" though.

Bill86 · 10-07-2011, 04:30 AM

Well I'm 5 hours into the game and its definitely fun and different.

My advice, wingsticks.....they kill most enemies outright. Keep a lot of buckshot, don't bother with any pistol ammo. The "AR" (even though it looks EXACTLY like an AK) is very useful as well, burns through ammo like no other though.

iamsolitary · 10-07-2011, 11:28 AM

Started a Civ 5 game yesterday... bad idea. This game just sucks up time. Fun though.

I bought Civ5 when they had it on sale a while back. I started a game at about 11 am on a Saturday. Stopped what felt like an hour later - it was 7:30 PM.

The game doesn't just suck up time - it puts you into a time warp and then spits you out at some point in the future.

iamsolitary · 10-07-2011, 07:09 PM

Yeah, I might have accidentally played until 3:30 in the morning last night. Oops.

Bill86 · 10-09-2011, 12:50 AM

Alright done with RAGE. I was initially impressed but the ending is just terrible.....What a disappointment.

First off half the crap in the game is entirely useless.

What is useful

1. Wingsticks, keep 99 (Max) at all times
2. Sniper rifle (25-50 ammo at all times is good enough)
3. Most importantly ....Dynamite bolts these just make the game a cakewalk. Combined with Wingsticks you won't even take hits....at all...ever. I don't know what the limit for these is but carry it.

There isn't much of a storyline at all. I don't know if this game was a book, movie or if there were previous games but I don't even know what or why I was playing.

I enjoyed some of the gruesome weapons and kills. GREAT graphics but overall I'd give this game a 7/10 "Average".

The last gun they gave you I never even used. It sounded so badass and powerful I thought I'd save the ammo. Then right before the game ended I realized I had a stupid amount of ammo and nothing really needed more power. I was 1-2 shotting everything as is.

I got 12 hours of play out of it. I'd say you COULD push maybe 15 hours. But you could also probably beat it in 8-10 hours.

That's pretty $hitty. I miss the days of single player games taking 40-75 hours to beat.

A great effort on the game, but it was wasted. They could have gone SO MUCH further and really utilized all possibilities.
