What are you playing at the moment?

Finished Metal Gear Deshi Basara.


Its no MGS4, but it was definitely fun and I am eagerly anticipating DLC (or just a replaying). Very obvious it is a side story, but still an enjoyable one.

For those who were wondering: I beat it in about 10 hours, but I suspect someone who is actuallly good at the twitchy-actiony games would be able to beat it much faster. But pretty much all 10 of those hours were gameplay, so I am cool with it.

Will get back to Crysis 2 later so that I can start Crysis 3.

Wait, so you're saying four of those hours weren't cutscenes? It really isn't a proper MGS game, is it?

[Casimir Effect]

I didn't find buses that much faster than going around the edges of the country. I also didn't know about the humanity meter, and some times when I try to turn jobs down the door is closed (like the destroy the medicine kilns mission). I hate how far away from the main city the second bar is.

It's more atmospheric humanity as opposed to an actual meter. Assassination missions might actually contribute to your Reputation, but I was more meaning they add to the whole "You're part of the problem" motif the game goes for.

Side missions can usually be cancelled by taking a new mission. Main missions can never be cancelled, although the optional buddy part can be right up until you do or don't do it.

I know. It was freaky. Platinum actually made sure that even the longest sequence of cutsceney-goodness had fights to break it up. I had to actually check to make sure I was playing the right game :p


In all seriousness though, I would compare it to MGS1. For the most part, it is constant gameplay. It was only MGS2 that realy started the "Let's watch cutscenes for an hour or so" that MGS4 took to a new level.

Tell me men,how do you deal with deathclaws,i was sure i can take them but i bearly killed one with help of 4 other people ..So what i want now is to find some companion,maybe some animal one. This is my ultimate quest :|

Cripple thier legs, Vanillia Fallout: New Vegas Doesn't have a dartgun, but automatic weapons (or mines at a push) are fine. Then they can't chase you and you can just pick them off at your leisure.

Just finished PISS.
There are no words to describe how much soul this game has. If you haven’t already, go play it now. Can anyone else recommend anything else similar? Anyone played any other Ben Chandler games?

I also smashed my way through Borderlands 2: Sir Hammerlocks Big Game Hunt and reached level 50 on true vault hunter… now what?

To try and fill my adventure game void, I installed J.U.I.L.A. It was then subsequently turned off about 2 minutes into the game due to atrocious voice acting. Shame.

Fired up AaaaaAAaaaAAAaaAAAAaAAAAA!!! for the Awesome for old times sake, and it still lives up to its namesake. Brilliant game, I’ve oh so nearly finished the original Reckless Disregard For Gravity Levels. One thing I would say, is that I enjoy the levels with the Quickstart checkpoints a lot more than the levels where you have to reload the whole drop again.

So with all this New Vegas discussion I've finally decided to play it, and I have been fiddling with some mods, etc. One question: does it need the 4GB patch available at NexusMods, or has it been patched into the game by Bethesda, like with Skyrim?

[Drayk]

I've put dishonored on hold for now. Will probably get back to it soon.

I am playing Sleeping Dogs, and i must say this is a really nice surprise. I really like the game. It's a good mix of GTA, Just cause and asian action movies. The story is predictible, but Shen Wei's character is quite opaque. He doesn't act like a cop at all and his moral bounderies are really loose. I predict that the game won't end well...

I also upgraded my PC: I finally got my hands on a Q9550 (OC at 3.2) and put some new ram in it (4 GB DDR3) and using my GTS 450 (OC at 1000mhz)

I can play Far Cry 3 stableat 25-30 in Direct X 11 on High, which is nice. But i get 40-50 fps with the same settings in Directx9. I don't understand why there is such a gap... The game doesn't even look that much better.

I am also trying to run Xenoblade on Dolphin (I don't like it on my wii, the resolution hurt my eyes...) but i get drops in fps during cutscenes... I know my PC is old and dusty but even with those spec it should run better...

[Voon]

Binging on Dwarf Fortress again. Now I'm having fun with cage traps despite it being the most boring of all trap setups and business have been going strong since I managed to trap Dralthas and a Troll. I wanted to make a Zoo later but I'm not really sure how

[sonson]

Killed a lot of bugs last night. Bark Scorpions and Radscoprions were fine but had to kill the giant ones by lobbing dynamite. Blundered into some Cazadores in the dark, killed a few and ran away. Discovered ED-E is suicidal. Got to Novac, is a dump. Listened to Best Friend Tabitha on the radio and went what the fuck. Realised that in the time it will take me to complete NV I could probably climb Kilimanjaro in real life.

There is always the [spoiler] toy gun lazer but it's a bit overkill and isn't good against moving targets. Also has one shot per day.[/spoiler]

[scorpion_wins]

ha! we're 2 bars away from level 50, and still going! you should join us to tackle some of the "invincible" boss fights (steam Tomxj).

Would love to, but I'm way behind at level 40!

For some reason all the gamestops in my tristate area ran out of Xenoblade in the last week. I wasn't able to buy it until now so I was super pissed off about it. Oh well, this is what the pirate bay is for.

[Nalano]

CTD when trying to load Civ5 savegame. New games work fine. So apparently I must do all my Civ games in one sitting.

[mnemnoch]

Stop with all of this FNV talk! I have lots of games in my queue. :(

I still havent finish Manaan, its been hectic at work and when I got home I always want to play while lying in bed so Im playing games with 360 support. Currently in 2nd season in 2k13 and I just killed Wade in Hitman: Abduction.

Been thinking of installing Vampire Bloodlines but I must resist. Gotta finish Kotor I and II first.

It was patched into the game quite early on. You don't need to do anything more.

Move it to the top of the pile and set aside a lot of time for it...

[mnemnoch]

I already did that in KOTOR. I think Lego LotR, AssCre 2 will kill me in my sleep if I did it to them again.

Anyway I already played FNV "demo" last year. I got to until before I enter Vegas, spent more time tinkering with mods than playing really, so Im not in too much hurry. But all this talk is eating my resolve! :D

[Heliocentric]

I finished FTL on normal with 2 of the fast firing emp guns and a fire beam.

It was officially "no thang" while fighting sector 5-8 scout drones was slow(no oxygen means no fire) I got a level 2 anti ship drone blueprint and cleaned up handily.

As ever I used the tourus, all the other ships are stupidly useless.

I need to find a new "sampler" game I can just dip in and out of.

[Ernesto]

I'm playing Bioshock. I finally have the hardware to run it properly :D
So far I like it. I find it quite easy, although I play on normal. There are some parts where I'm low on health and medpacks, but I always have enough ammo. I'm cleaning up in Fort Frolic now, maybe it gets harder after that...

I'm also enjoying Tribes Ascend as a Soldier or Scout most of the time. Although I can't quite get enough speed, leading ahead shots seems to work quite well ;)

Fallout 3 is also somewhere down the list...

Thank you!
