The only way to kill them is with arrows to knock them out of the air, then fight them on the ground.
I'm on the Xbox version, HC. But thanks :p

I was actually replying to gamblet, but it is possible to mod on xbox also. BUT NOT PS3, not unless you want some fried hardware or a messed up firmware
I've been playing a good bit of Aero Fighters 2 (Sonic Wings 2) by SNK, for the Neo Geo. Emulating it on MAME32k. Along with Raiden. Multiplayer is so smurfing amazing.
Thanks, but I prefer my games unmodded for the time being. Maybe later, when I get bored.Quote:

I played Ghost Trick some time ago! It was awesome. Probably the most memorable DS game since Phoenix Wright. Could not put it down till it was finished. :)
Also played The World Ends With You and I love that one also! Great game choices, both of them!
As for me, I just got Star Wars: The Old Republic today and will most probably start soon!
i refound my childhood love..
Jazz Jackrabbit 2
Ha-ha, that mod sounds awesome. Do want!Quote:

Attachment 35542
Finished Assassin's Creed Brotherhood last night. Strangely getting the urge already to start Revelations but I'm going to force myself to take a little bit of a break at least. I've also started the DLC for Deus Ex: Human Revolution and am enjoying it quite a bit so far. I might do another play through of the full game after.
Not sure what I'll jump into next. I'm part way through Ace Combat: Assault Horizon and Dark Souls still, so I'll probably focus on one or the other for a bit.
Fixed. Also that sounds like it was a pretty epic battle.Quote:

Awesome! Ever played Heroes 2? You can fight hordes of peasants and if your necromancy is maxed you can end up with hundreds of free skeletons. Also I don't know if the Chain Lightning spell was carried over into Heroes 3, but it's got to be one of the best spells available in the game and possibly the series - does troutloads of chain damage.Quote:

Will begin Final Fantasy XIII-2 today after work. Can't wait. :love::love::love::love::love:
Chain Lighting is in Heroes 3, pretty useful indeed.Quote:

Start with Heroes II, one of the best in the series IMO.Quote:

still playing ff13, it's super good. grinding now. i don't really grind in rpg's ever, so that says something about how great the battle system is. growth egg gotten time to partyyy. havent finished the game yet though.
just started on 13-2
Finished Heavy Rain a couple of days ago, what an awesome game! It is definitely now on my Top 10 ever list! Apart from that still playing Skyrim & WWE 12
I keep thinking that eventually I'm going to stop playing EU3 and start playing something else and I keep being wrong.
Aion
I got a fast internet now, so I thought I play it. My computer handles the game way better than expected. It plays on High settings with 40-70 FPS.
I have played that game before and I love it, one of my favourite games.
PC Specs:
(SPOILER)AMD Sempron 2.0 GHz (that's why I had lower expectations)
Nvidia Geforce 8500 GT with 768 VRAM
2 GB DDR2 RAM
Windows XP Home. (Don't kill me)
Kind of off-topic, but could my PC run Skyrim?
yes, but at a speed that it wouldn't be worth playing, imagine taking 15 minutes to walk across a street. you need at least one more gig of ram to play at normal speeds, I would recommend 2 gigs more. you might not have a good enough video card to play though.
Better CPU first, then we'll see.Quote:

Not just button presses, but apparently there is some magic route where you don't hit anything. No swerving into other lanes, no hitting cones, no brushing against toll booths, nothing.

He went for The Saboteur and got hung up on destroying all the nazi towers, I got hung up on the previously mentioned level and both of us ended up caving. I probably wouldn't have tried 100% otherwise.Quote:

After finishing it I'm going to start Warrior Within, which I have not completed yet since I got confused in one part of that game. I got lost and my will to play was gone, but I am going to give it another shot.
I've replayed Sands many times - actually just started replaying Warrior Within. I lost interest rather fast - that seems to be happening a lot lately, with games and pretty much everything. But I enjoyed the game during the first playthrough - though story-wise it didn't match the original by any stretch. I preferred the Two Thrones because it had the original voice actor for the Prince and a smashing ending. And the battle mechanics aren't as refined in Sands - but in terms of plot, it's the best.Quote:

Playing FFVII again now :shobon:
ive found another childhood love!!
Supaplex
its funny, but i didnt think it was this dificult :O
:') good old memories
Skyrim finally takes a major backseat as this morning I have started Metal Gear Solid HD Collection :bigsmile:
FFXIII-2, takin' up all my free time! Getting there, but can't help but feel that the sidequests etc. will keep me going for a long time to come.
Finally jumped back into some Ace Combat after finishing the Missing Link DLC for Deus Ex: Human Revolution. I also started another playthrough of Deus EX: HR, and started Assassin's Creed: Revelations against my better judgement because I'm strangely pumped to play it. Not sure I like the redesign they did on Desmond, not that it matters since you spend so little time playing as him in these games. I do like that Ezio's finally showing his age though. It bothered me that from the start of AC2 to the end of Brotherhood there was almost no change in his appearance aside from a beard when the guy is what, in his 50's now give or take?
Still playing Starcraft 2 pretty frequently as well. Dark Souls I manage to pick up here and there, but it's the sort of game that I want to just sit down and play for 3-4 hours straight when I do play it and I rarely get the chance to do that outside of Sunday mornings if I wake up early enough.
Skyrim is the one that takes up most of my gaming time, but when I get bored of owning dragons and slitting throats I switch it up to some puzzle climbin Catherine or take it back to FFs Dirge of Cerberus.
Prince of Persia: Warrior Within
Completed Sands of Time a few days ago, started playing this and it is a LOT harder. (SPOILER)I'm at the part of the game where I must get the mask. Dahaka chases were pretty engaging. Empress gave me some trouble too. With Sands of Time, I got like max 10 game overs during the whole playthrough. But with this game I have had them like 30+... There will be more. Gameplay is fantastic, though.
Oh, and the soundtracks really get me in the mood for fighting. :cool:
I am playing IGI2 and Gta San Andreas :)
Just about to end IGI2.
bought Blood Omen 1 and Final Fantasy 9 for the psp to play when i'm based at the ass end of nowhere http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/happy.gif
not playing them right now or even soon but at least one of those games is relevant enough to warrant a post http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/tongue.gif
might as well just copy and paste what i posted on a LoK board lol
So long as you can get past the load times and absurd amounts of lag in Blood Omen you'll find it is a really awesome game.
got my dad's steam account .. so im gonna start F.E.A.R 3 soon :)
.. i dnt even like the games.. i dont even have a good idea of the plot.
and i only played FEAR1 half-ish
Aion
I got my Chanter to lvl 13, almost 14 today. Chain skills look awesome.
here's hopingQuote:

you just gotta loooooooooooove that game :D
meanwhile im cursing everytime i screw up at Supaplex.
and im gonna get FF XIII-2 soon..
maybe tomorrow... or monday.. or in 2 weeks
dunno yet
... problably monday
Seconded. I've had three full play throughs in the last two months. I've had to lend it to my brother (even though he only plays Fifa 12) so I fon't overplay it and grow to hate it.Quote:

only one problem so far in that it would be a whole lot better if i could control my character with then little nub on the left hand side instead of the D pad
maybe i'm just too used with using the analogue but it just doesn't feel as good
I'm playing a lot of games right now...
Serious sam the second encounter (easily one of my favorite shooters ever)
Bioshock
Terraria
Bastion
and Painkiller
All amazing amazing games
Loving Metal Gear Solid HD Collection, it was great to play through MGS2 & 3 again but Peace Walker is just pure awesome!
You can.Quote:

Playing Two Thrones right now and is it strange that I can't behead enemies? It kind of feels like the head should be coming off when doing speed kills or certain combos, or am I just used to the Warrior Within? :confused:
I'm playing Romancing Saga 3 until my copy of Final Fantasy XIII-2 is delivered (hopefully it will be here tomorrow)
So I've finally gotten around to playing half-life 2....
I'm a bit late I know.
Eh, better late than never.
half life 2 is great
i just finished infamous 2, and today i started dead space
dead space is glorious (goreious)
also i am part time playing demons souls, and am soul level 17 so everything still kills me real easy
I'm going old-school and playing Banjo-Kazooie and Super Mario RPG. It's glorious.
Banjo-Kazooie was awesome!Quote:

Final Fantasy XIII-2
i wanted to wait a bit till vacation (in 2 weeks) becaus than i would work for a view days and get the game from that money.
but than i saw an amazing sale action at a store, wich came exactly in time.
i 'returned' them 3 old games, and than i could get the new FF for 20 euro's .. now i think thats an amazing deal since im having trouble getting rid of my old games.
the other gameshop at my city gives low prices for 2nd hand games, so i was verry happy when i saw this.
So for me its a win-win situation
the game looks amazing. though at first i was a little confused about the story. but after a small while it all starts making sense
Aion
Got my Chanter to lvl 18. Joined a Legion (actually, I already joined first time playing). Played 5 hours straight. Did tons of quests. Game's fun.
FFXIII-2
Catherine (It's V-Day!)
And after work I'm gonna download the Mass Effect 3 demo!
CRUSADER
KINGS
2
IS THE BEST THING
I've already put 7 hours into it and I didn't get it until, uh... well, 7 hours ago, I guess :shobon:
Never Dead -- It's pretty horrible.
I thought it looked like crap to begin with, honestly, but a friend of mine had me borrow it after going on and on about how good it was. It's kind of fun in the fact that you can tear off body parts and use them as weapons, but you can't really get very creative with it. The flashback scenes seem really well done, and that story is actually intriguing, but then you get back to the present and everything about this game becomes terrible again.
It's given me the drive to replay Lost Odyssey, though, and I'm thoroughly enjoying this playthrough of it. :monster:
Hmm, creative, huh? *looks inside his pants*Quote:

... and im not sure if i like what they did with Snow :(
I like it! It's not something I'd normally listen to, but in context I think it's just right. Also yeah, Snow needs his hat back. His hair is soooooooooooo much better in game than the magazine scans, but it is still pretty bad.
PoP: The Two Thrones again. I believe that I am close to the end, I have acquired all the sand tanks and am like 2 life upgrades away from max health.
The gameplay with Dark Prince is awesome, stealth kills are cool. But I just hate that I cannot split enemies in half and cut heads off... looks so so wrong.
A couple of titles. I got it in my head to play through the whole Suikoden series in numerical order, so I'm up to Suikoden III now, finishing up Hugo's chapter 3 before doing Thomas Chapter 2, and Geddoe and Chris' chapter 3s. So far its been a great experience cause I always forget how awesome Suikoden is as a series and playing it in order back to back allows you to catch more of the subtle plot continuations in the series. I'm actually looking forward to playing Suikoden IV because it will finally get me to finish Suikoden Tactics.
I'm also playing through Metal Gear Solid Peace Walker which is mostly a great game if not a poster child for how the MGS console experience can't be done on a handheld device without an trout ton of downloading crap. It's been fun for the most part but I kind of feel the story pacing is a bit slow for the series.
I've also been dabbling in Dragon Quest IX which is quite frankly from a gameplay standpoint, feels more like an FF title than DQ. I wish the quests NPCs gave out were either more interesting, or at least net you better loot for completing them. The job class/customization system is like a strange mixture of DQVIII and FFXI which is actually really nice. I'm also happy cause I just learn I can build my party members from scratch as well and design how they look. :love:
Uncharted: Golden Abyss
Obviously not as smooth as the PS3 outings but still ridiculously good for a handheld. Its been criticised for the touch screen controls but I'm actually really enjoying the charcoal rubbing and artefact cleaning aspects of the game. Not overly keen on the new girl but Nate is still cool as smurf
While I disagree on the 'feels more like an FF then DQ' thing', I do agree IX was very well made. Their customization is very well done, but the game has the major flaw of being too easy. Having playing much DQ before, I knew how it worked well enough to easily destroy pretty much the whole game. Hell, I beat it without having a single group heal spell. Compared to the likes of V and VIII it takes no effort to complete.Quote:
Originally Posted by Wolf Kanno

The quest system also reminds me of how XI does it, even down to many of them not being worth the time or effort. Yet it's the Vocation system/weapon skill system that is the most like FFXI, with a hint of Disgaea mixed in. Your level is attached to your job and your profiencecy in weapons is built seperately but your equipped weapon is determined by your job class. Even DQVI and VII never tried anything like this but it's standard fare in FFXI except you can sub classes, whereas DQIX just has some skills and abilitis cross over. None of this is bad, but considering I'm coming off from playing DQIV and DQV to this, it's a very jarring experience. Kind like playing FFIII and IV and then jumping to FFVIII.
DEMON'S SOULS
seriously im like 50 hours spent on it
its so addicting
once you get past the initial hurdle of 'wtf i died?!'
Crusader Kings 2
Banjo-Kazooie
Super Mario RPG
Work is getting in the way of all three of these :mad2:
I'm playing Sonic Mega Collection Plus on the PS2 (in other words I've been playing through each classic Sonic in no particular order and having a freakin' ball.)
I've also performed the miracle of getting Minecraft to run on my computer with 512 megs of RAM, an NVidia GeForce 4 graphics card and an AMD Sempron 1000+ processor. And as long as I don't explore too far and force too many chunks to generate, it runs almost perfectly with Optifine turning the graphical quality as low as possible. I'm told this shouldn't have been possible.
Only drawback is that when I'm in the Nether, Ghasts go beyond my draw distance and subsequently own me, and I can't get the Sniper Duel achievement for the same reason. Hopefully I'm getting a new computer in a few months. I'm years overdue for one.
The "main" game that I'm playing through at the moment is The Last Story.
The more "casual" game I'm playing through at the moment is Final Fantasy IX on the PSP/PS3.
I was recently trying to trudge through fanslated Rudras SNES game. But lost interest like last time, especially once I was killed by a random sub-boss and had to go back to an hour old save. Didn't feel like re-doing crap so I'm probably done with that game. Again
I'm currently switching between Final Fantasy XIII-2 and Jak II on my PS3 at the moment. I was playing Jak II only until the new DLC for XIII-2 came out tonight. :D
Away from home, however, and usually when I'm in bed trying to fall asleep, I've been playing Final Fantasy VII on my PSP.
Final Fantasy XIII-2 finished with all achievements done, so not much left there besides from DLC to get out of the way (have tried about twenty times to capture Lightning to no avail, gutting). Have got back into playing Final Fantasy VI again. Just got to the world of ruin and have found the brothers and Terra, although Terra was all "wah wah I don't want to join yet" or something. Oh well. Either way, getting there!
bought FF XIII-2 2 weeks ago, but so far havent had time to play any further D:
Everyone pm me your PSN account id's so I can add you
Still playing Aion, lvl 39 with my Chanter. This game is addicting.
Wrong thread? :p Check the stickied thread in this forum. :)Quote:

the old tomb raiders main theme song.
thats just pure nostalgia to me :D
The AC3 news finally got me to put my Suikoden series playthrough on hold and finally bust out AC: Revelations, which has turned out to be a surprisingly better than I thought it would be. Unlike Brotherhood, Revelations actually doesn't feel like it could have been a DLC patch for ACII with quite a few changes to gameplay and the interface. Now, I do kind of wish the game didn't keep throwing the new bomb mechanic in my face constantly, but what can you do?
On handhelds, I'm doing a playthrough of Xenogears, cause I haven't played the game in years, and it's still as good as I remembered. Just getting ready to leave the Blackmoon Forest. I'm of course playing this to get me ready for Xenoblade Chronicles which is probably the first game since Catherine, that I've been eagerly anticipating to play and will probably actually be played on day one of purchase instead of being tossed into "the pile".
Mass Effect 3 (actually kind of dissapointed with the size of the game, gameplay itself is good)
And the same old same old time consuming Skyrim and Fallout New Vegas.
im sort of stuck at FF XIII-2
im at the 'high tech' tower and i need an artifact to connect a bridge..
But i think they said i needed to get that from another world?
as i dont really feel like searching all those worlds can some1 tell me what to do?
Still playing Aion, doing some crafting.
Started Assassin's Creed, I play it from time to time, I just killed the guy in Acre.
I couldn't say from here at work, sorry Shaibana! But if you ask in the FFXIII-2 forum you'll probably get a quick-ish response. :)
I've just finished playing Journey, which was amazing. I've got all characters in Final Fantasy VI recruited now, too, so it's just the end run that I need to bother with now (and I might get a few more summons or kill a few more dragons as a thing to do while leveling as I'm only L40-43 at the moment) before I can move on to FFIX. FFVI has been okay. Good enough gameplay and story, but something about the game just doesn't capture me. I've felt it really opened up with the hunting down your comrades bit (particularly as a gameplay aspect), but the sound and music... I'm not sure if it's just because I'm playing it on a bus (which does make you tired), but it keeps making me get reaaaaally sleepy! There is some music which is a bit more upbeat which I adore because it wakes me up. =] Fingers crossed as summer creeps in I'll be more 'alive' when on the commute home and will enjoy it all even more. I do like the game overall, though, although I think the raving about it by so many people put my expectations a little too high.
I've decided that AC: Revelations might be the poster child of why open-sand box games have borked difficulty curves. I have not even finished sequence 3 yet, and have not been able to unlock all the pieces of the starting armor set; yet I've already obtained the best armor, sword, and knife in the game, not to mention I have two apprentices close to becoming master assassins... I'm still having fun though, I just couldn't believe my eyes when I unlocked the Master Assassin Armor already. :jess:
Playing Dark Souls
This game is my true love, I adore it so much. I was nervous tackling this game at first because of its reputation... but I just can't get enough. It's like a really dark combination of Legend of Zelda and the Elder Scrolls. (The latter I've never been able to get into)
It is punishing, but once you learn the game it's not nearly as bad. The game is fair and balanced though (at least from a PvE standpoint) and the variety of weapons and playstyles with such an amazing combat system is just breathtaking.
Definitely one of my favorite action rpgs out there right now.
Currently in Anor Londo preparing to take down These guys
It's gonna be interesting.
I am playing Sam & Max Season 1, Civ 5, Poker Night at the Inventory and probably a couple of other things.
>>> Disgaea 4 (at last)..:luca:
Games I'm playing right now
- New Super Mario Bros. (DS)
- Super Princess Peach (DS)
- Zelda The Minish Cap (GBA)
- and Professor Layton and the Curious Village (DS)
The minish cap? I love youQuote:

Man I can't wait to start dark souls. Should I finish Demons first or is it sequencing?
Playing escape plan. It's ok so far. The art is amazing, as are the sounds.
Games I am currently playing, on and off:
- SimCity 4
- The Sims 3
- Mountain Blade
- Football Manager
- Victoria 2
- Crusader Kings 2
- Star Ruler
- Sanic Heghog 1, 2, 3, and Knuckles
- Final Fantasy
- Baldur's Gate
I am currently playing through Silent Hill 2. I have decided to finally try to play through that series this semester and I just beat the first game a couple of weeks ago.
Final Fantasy XIV - Too many new things since I last played, so want to see how things are going. It's been great so far, although it's only a couple of days... still, it's been too long and I'm enjoying myself. :)
Zelda: Wind Waker
Zelda: Phantom Hourglass
Portal - Finished this yesterday for the first time, great game
Super Mario Galaxy 2 - finishing up the green stars.
Dark Cloud
Paper Mario
Resident Evil 0
Quite a few ongoing projects right now, playing with different people. Probably going to finish up the Zeldas soon and begin the new Silent Hill game as well as Portal 2.
Go find Cactuars.Quote:

Anyhow, I just finished Hyperdimension Neptunia mk2. I'll probably start on a NG+ soon, only because you need to do that in order to fight the ultimate super-boss thingy. And I'm sucker for that kind of stuff.
I also go back to Disgaea 4 every now and then, even though I've completed both the main story and all the Land of Carnage stuff, only to make/upload/play some more custom maps etc. In case anyone living in europe happen to own this game, I'm "Shads777". My map's easy to find since it's the 2nd ranked one. Play it, and suffer bitter defeat. You will never be able to complete it. :greenie:
WKC1 and WKC2
as well ass assassincream and assassincream revelations.
got them for a dollar apeice.
I picked up Deus Ex Human Revolution over the weekend because it was on sale & I kinda wanted something new to play. This purchase was odd because despite it getting good reviews every gameplay trailer I say I met with a meh. A friend of my bought it in the last steam sale & told me it was quite good, so when I saw it brand new for €18 I said to myself hey why not. And you guys know what? I'm so glad I did because it is awesome :bigsmile:
There is something about this game that makes me not want to put it down! The story seems good. The missions & side missions are interesting. The choice between stealth & action is great. The augments offer some interesting abilities. Everything you do in the game is worth a small amount of xp. Deus Ex Human Revolution is simply put, a really enjoyable gaming experience.
I congratulate you for making this excellent choice : )Quote:

Right now, I'm currently playing Skyrim (I'm always playing Skyrim regardless lol) and debating on playing through FFVIII again.
Thing is, it's hard to play two RPG's at once.
http://i.qkme.me/35aduq.jpg
Gamer dilemma in progress.
I found an online game called Dungeon Blitz. It's strangely addicting.
They're pretty much only related in gameplay, demon souls is a hell of a lot more disturbing and punishing than Dark Souls though.Quote:

The challenge of the game is the learning curve, and figuring everything out. Once you do that, it's no longer nearly as rage inducing. Hell, once I learned everything, I had a far more enjoyable time with it (though, that's typically how I am with rpgs)
EDIT: Still obsessed with Dark Souls, but I've been playing a bit of Cthulu Saves the World, and it's pretty damn amazing from my experience so far.
Also, planning on starting over on the original Golden Sun.
I've been hunting down a copy of TWEWTY for a while now and had no luck. The game is just in such high demand, whenever one shows up, it's sold right away in my neck of the woods. I may have to go the eBay route at this point to get a copy.Quote:

And Suzuka is pretty awesome. I find myself using her overdrive a lot. Otherwise Aschen gets it. Hers is pretty funny too if only because she hops into "fun mode" momentarily. :p
I'm currently playing Dark Souls, Ace Combat 5 and FFVI on an Android phone emulator. Next on my list are Journey and the original Deus Ex.
still playing Deus Ex: Human Revolution! i had to take a break cause yes
also playing Prince of Persia on the ps3. so gorgeous. really enjoying it it's pretty light gaming but it's good light gaming. lovely character interaction and dialogue.
and started ff9. i'm already in love with everything about it and it's only been 2 hours. thanks eoff for suggesting it.
overall i am playing the best games right now!
I thought I should give Deus Ex a shot, so I am playing that right now. It is pretty difficult and the game has not basically even started yet: I made it inside the statue.
I am still playing Aion too, doing some sieges.
Recently completed a replay of Marathon Infinity (except the Vidmaster Challenge levels, which I'm still doing. I don't remember the first level very well so it may take several tries).
This game has a seriously smurfed up difficulty curve. The hardest stretch of the game ("Acme Station" - "Post Naval Trauma"; also includes the secret level "Aie Mak Sicur" if you choose to play it) is near the beginning of the game. "Acme Station" is like the seventh level of the game. It is usually regarded as the hardest level of the game, and while it's fairly challenging, I was able to clear this level on Major Damage without all that much difficulty by blasting away with a good chunk of the shotgun ammo I got on "Aie Mak Sicur" (which was incredibly difficult to clear out; I must have died at least twenty times). What makes this stretch incredibly difficult, however, is that they're vacuum levels. And your oxygen gets used up more quickly on higher difficulty settings, a fact that is not noted anywhere in the documentation for the game. And running uses oxygen more quickly than walking, even if you're just holding down the run key and standing still, another fact that is not noted anywhere in the documentation for the game. And you only have a limited supply of oxygen until about halfway through "Post Naval Trauma". I am amazed this got out of testing. It is doable for the very best players on Total Carnage if they do everything just right, but it is also very possible to create an unwinnable save game. As a rule of thumb, all vacuum levels should have a very easily accessible oxygen recharger. (The secret levels "Carroll Street Station" and "You're Wormfood, Dude" are also notable offenders in this category, not having any oxygen rechargers at all). I had to scale the difficulty setting back to Normal for these two levels in order to maintain enough oxygen to beat them. (As I said, I cleared "Acme" on its own fine, but "Post Naval Trauma" wound up being impossible, and I was too lazy to try again on the same difficulty).
Anyway, once you get past that segment the game becomes significantly easier, to the point where the last several levels of the game proper are a joke. I cleared the last few levels on Total Carnage without breaking a sweat. Think I only died once. What is particularly hilarious is that the level "You Think You're Big Time? You're Gonna Die Big Time!" is supposed to contain Tfear's elite guards, and while they certainly are somewhat more powered up than the normal Pfhor, the Fighters and Troopers don't really have anything to distinguish themselves from the other Pfhor except their strength. (The Hunters fire seeking bolts, which, okay, that's pretty elite). The final level, "Aye Mak Sicur", mostly contains Hunters, which are pretty easy to defeat. The only real challenge is the two Juggernauts. Granted, the level is gigantic, so it's still a pretty impressive climax. (Unfortunately, there are large portions of the level that you don't have to visit at all, which is kind of disappointing).
Infinity often gets a lot of criticism for its "difficult" story. However, I think it has the best story of the three games. Once you understand that you're guiding the player through different timelines in order to prevent an Eldritch Abomination from being released by a supernova, the meaning of the game becomes pretty obvious. This is obviously miles beyond what anyone else was attempting in game stories in 1996, much less FPS game stories, and it's a shame the trilogy didn't get more exposure at the time. (Though releasing it only for Mac probably limited its potential exposure). Even now, most people probably wouldn't know the trilogy even existed if Bungie hadn't gone on to develop Myth and Halo. It is a great series in its own right, and while it features a number of limitations of games of the day (clumsy enemy AI, occasional derpy puzzles), they are pretty minor all things told.
Best levels of the trilogy: "G4 Sunbathing" (M1), the version of "Colony Ship For Sale, Cheap" without that stupid platform puzzle (M1A1), "Try again" (M1), "The Hard Stuff Rules" (M2), "If I Had a Rocket Launcher, I'd Make Somebody Pay" (M2), "Begging for Mercy Makes Me Angry" (M2), "My Own Private Thermopylae" (M2), "Kill Your Television" (M2), "Requiem for a Cyborg" (M2), "Poor Yorick" (MInf), "Hang Brain" (MInf), "A Converted Church in Venice, Italy" (MInf), "Son of Grendel" (MInf), "Aye Mak Sicur" (MInf). "Acme Station" would also have made this list if not for the lack of an oxygen recharger. If I had to pick one level from each game, they would be "G4 Sunbathing", "Kill Your Television", and "Son of Grendel", each of which manages to convey the atmosphere it tries to convey perfectly.
finished prince of persia! really liked that ending actually, but seriously debating the 'epilogue' expansion... it'll cost me about as much as the actual game did though so i dunno if it's worth it haha
Which one?Quote:

I just finished Batman: Arkham City for PS3. I left my review in another thread. Next up is either Uncharted 3 or I play the Arrival DLC for Mass Effect 2, which I heard was pretty good. Maybe that will tide me over until ME3 gets here since I just ordered it. It was only $30 which is crazy because I thought it just came out! ME2 cost me more than that.
I also beat Vagrant Story which I was playing on PSP (downloaded from PSN), but I want to keep playing it to get 100% map completion.
For the love of God, Del... PLAY UNCHARTED 3!!!
Only because you said so.
I got sucked back in. Decided to say screw it and 100% Fallout 3 (Trophys and locations, I don't hate the real world enough for true 100%). Now I'm working from square one to build my Evil Karma character to wrap up the "level to X with Evil Karma" trophies. That, and the 100 Ingots trophy for The Pitt and I'm done.
..I hope
Victoria 2, because DEM POPS MAN. DEM POPS.
Also some other stuff inbetween. Lots of Sonic the Hedgehog.
Far Cry
Quite hard, I am stuck in some kind of research facility.
The Walking Dead game.
It's alright I guess. Not worth the 20 bucks...but alright.
as im typing this im installing GTA IV
i just hope i can play it since Systemrequirementslab.com says i cant run it...
i have no idea why it wouldnt be possible since this is a new laptop... but so far the site has always been right :/
That site is so inaccurate sometimes. Usually it says that my PC can't run a game, but I can play it with no lag.:roll2
I just blew waaaay too much money so now I have all of this to play:
GTA4 and all addons.
New Vegas
rayman 3 hd
persona 3 fes
blazblue continuum shift extend CERO
and in about 5 minutes I'm probably going to buy mortal combat for vita.
well once again the site was right :/Quote:

I recently beat Lonesome Road, the last New Vegas expansion.
And as anyone who I may have talked to about it would know, I love New Vegas. Game was great, and personally I feel far better then Skyrim in most ways.
That being said, I was so mad at Lonesome Road. We've had this courier built up for three expansions now, and finally we get to meet him, and smurf he's stupid. That was even more of a let down then when you finally met Ceaser. Of course I've already ranted to Pike in #eoff about it, and this thread would seem somewhat out of place to do so. :P
Speaking of New Vegas, I recently bought it because I'd heard good things about Obsidian's writing, and I have to say, I'm enjoying it far more than I did Oblivion or Fallout 3. I may actually play through this game a second time, and stick with it, whereas I only beat Fallout 3 because the setting was interesting, but once I beat it I had no desire to go back.Quote:

I have been playing the ever living hell out of Trails Evolution. Great game with lots of explosions and the Trials Market Place for user generated content is awesome. I am having a ton of fun. Totally worth the wait and everything.
Skyrim, finally.
I thought my PC won't run it, but it does!
Specs:
(SPOILER)AMD Sempron 3600+ @ 2 Ghz
Nvidia Geforce 8500 GT 512 MB, Shader 4.0, VRAM 768 MB
Windows XP Home SP3
4 GB RAM
It plays really smooth, some lag spikes sometimes and a bit slow in towns with everything on low, except textures on medium and resolution 800x600. It looks a bit crappy, but still, playable.
Enjoying it. :cool:
ive started Infamous 2 again.
i started convincing myself to play the Bad Guy role... but i just cant do that :(
so once again im on my way becomming a hero :o
Playing Shadowrun (SNES) when I have free time.
Hux and I are going nuts with hotseat Civ IV.
I just defeated a Blood Dragon in Skyrim. I am level 13. :cool:
Beat that.
Juggling between OoT 3DS (first time I've ever played OoT) and FFIX, although I'm thinking of starting up Lunar again and playing through both games one after the other. Or just losing a few days to Legend of Mana.
Playing Mass Effect 3 after playing ME2 last week.
ME3 is crap :(
Playing Mass Effect 3 after playing ME2 last week.
ME3 is crap :(
Playing Mass Effect 3 after playing ME2 last week.
ME3 is crap :(
Playing Soul Calibur 3 after playing SC2 last week
SC3 is crap :(
The posts above are kind of similar, don't you think?
On-topic : Still playing Skyrim, I am lvl 23 and doing the main quest I am at the part (SPOILER)where I must get the Elder Scroll from a Dwemer ruin. Completed the Companions questline too.
I got the Volendrung and it is just awesome.
BTW I am playing with a Two-Handed guy, with Heavy Armor, Smithing, Enchanting, Destrucion (for long range) as specialties. Not a perfect build, but I love it. Sure packs a punch.
The Witcher 2 and Super Smash Bros Brawl. I picked up Rogue Galaxy for $5 at a used game store, will be checking that out at some point soon as well.
I did a complete playthrough with all quests completed without visiting the level up menu. Beat that.Quote:

I want to play all Assassins Creed, I am on the first but on the PC the controls are very weird and I fail a lot O.o
>>> Xenoblade (second playthrough)..:luca:
Pretty much All I play for more that ten minutes at a time are Bethesda, Assassins creed games, and thatgamecompany games. Gonna try awesomenauts
Xenoblade Chronicles, which I'm over 150 hours in and finally at what I believe is the last dungeon. Excellent game that has conbsumed all my time and soul for the last month. I'm also casually playing through MM9 and Persona 3 Portable (female story). My GF got me to start playing AC Multiplayer on Brotherhood, though I should be playing Revelations Multiplayer instead...
The Avengers movie has also inspired me to play some MvC2.
I'm stuck in my house for about 6 weeks due to knee surgery, so I'll be playing a lot of the original Deus Ex, FFVI, Dark Souls and Ace Combat 5.
After completing Skyrim's main quest, I was quite disappointed: no cutscene, dull people (well, actually they can't really know about it), only guards gongratulated me... Last boss was pretty easy too at lvl 28.
I completed the Stormcloak quests too and that ending I liked more, but people around Skyrim were still thinking that the war was going on. :mad2:
So after finishing those quests I had a nostalgia moment and decided to check in to Morrowind, I installed the game again and loaded my last save. Compared to my Skyrim character, this guy is a beast. No NPC in game can match me... Here is a screeny too. :cool:
Attachment 36034
Level 65, most of the quests done I believe, including all the main quests. I have around 374K Gold. I do not even know how much time I have spent on this game, but I enjoyed every minute of it. My journal is 524 pages long. :eek:
So much map is discovered.... and so much still hidden. I will explore it soon I think.
Attachment 36035
This game fellas, is a masterpiece.
League of Legends, a modded/remastered version of FF7 for the PC, and FF9 on the PSP
once i finished Infamous 2 again i think im gonna start a Uncharted marathon ^^
I've been playing Persona 3:FES here and there over the last couple of weeks. I finally got to more or less the point I was at last time when my last PS3 died and I lost my save file. Fourth times the charm right?
I can't wait till P4Golden comes out.
I'm playing all the games I just got off of Playstation Plus, and tommorrow I will start playing the metal gera solid HD collection on VITA
Been watching my daughter play Ratchet & Clank and Fruit Ninja K'nect.
Other than FFXI, I've mainly only been playing Trials Evolution because it's freaking awesome and I just happen to be not too bad at it.
Started a new prestige and played a ton of Modern Warfare 3 PS3 today, been playing as a Witchdoctor in normal in Diablo III since finishing normal with the Barbarian. Haven't played Far Cry 2 PC or Dawn of War II that much lately but they're in the rotation as well.
I'm... not playing anything.
Haven't for a while.
You might think this means I'm more productive, but I've actually been more of a waste of space than usual lately.
Persona 3 FES! I had never played Persona 3 before, but it has been on my list for quite a long time. I am enjoying it quite a bit; though, I didn't realize how long the game would end up being.
I started a new character in Skyrim, did all the Thieves Guild quests, they were very well done.
This time I am playing with a sneaky-type guy with dual wielding and archery.
It is a lot more fun sneaking around and backstabbing than rushing to the enemies in my opinion.
I must have put around 60 hours total in this game I believe. Time flies... I almost have no life.
Been playing Final Fantasy XIV again lately and really enjoying it. Getting excited about version 2.0, but really wanting to get as much of the current content done as some parts won't be around once the new version is out late this year!
Is it really that good?Quote:

Star Ocean: First Departure (not played in ages, and lost my old saves so I'm re-earning all the voice collections again)
Star Ocean: Second Evolution (can you believe I've never played this above Earth difficulty?)
Pokemon Pearl: Barring HGSS, I've never played 4th gen at all. I need to get one of the 3rd gen games as well and play through that. I have a save on Black on the go as well but I'm gonna get back on with that later and hopefully beat it again in time for Black/White 2 coming out.
Minecraft: I've fallen helplessly in love with this game. I spent most of yesterday landscaping. That full double-chest of dirt in my house is almost empty now that I've filled in all the unsightly mess I'd previously made of the landscape around me. I've got a summer home across the ocean, which I'm currently building a transcontinental railway to, a giant Toad's House outside my home, a very healthily-stocked farm and, all within Minecraft's limitations unfortunately, an assault course. Just because :3
Check this thread for my two 'return to FFXIV' posts over the past few months. Basically, I think it's worth paying the £6.49 per month for, and am optimistic that it will continue to improve over the coming months, and at a very rapid rate. :) It's completely turned around from the old days where everything was buggy.Quote:

Was on vacation a couple of weeks ago. Played the original Final Fantasy in a couple of days on an emulator. This put me in the mood for Final Fantasy IV, so I decided to finally play through the entire fan translation version (played and beat FFIV countless times before, but never finished that version).
Interesting, I watched the gameplay videos on youtube and it seems really nice, but I think my PC needs upgrading before I can actually run the game smoothly. Scumbag games nowadays...Quote:

Dragons are annoying as hell, they should have more strategy or something.
Smithing and Enchanting are OP, but I stopped using them on my new character, so not so big of a deal.
Dungeons should have more valuable loot... and I wish that MQ was longer, I hope the expansion "Dawnguard" will be good.
So I am playing Assassin's Creed right now, the first one. I still haven't completed it yet. Currently at the start of Memory Block 4. The game is very annoying sometimes, because it gets repetitive (especially saving citizens).
I do not have to do them, but I still do. I guess I like the map clean... Basically I play it for story only.
Dragon's Dogma is taking all my free time from me. Warriors Orochi 3 was previously, but I'm annoyed at the lack of DLC being brought to the US.
I also recently discovered that iRO is free, so I found my 7 year old account and I play on that from time to time.
I'm about 50 hours into Skyrim, and I'm just doing the side quests and guild quests. I'm going to beat the story soon though, I guess. =/ The game is friggin massive. Just bought Max Payne 3, so I'll start that soon, or should I finish Knights of the Old Republic? =/
Addicted to Fire Emblem currently... as well as Star Ocean Second Evolution
Just... can't... stop
The usual. Pox sperging, Civ IV, Minecraft, Endless Space, Dragon's Dildo, a wee bit of Theme Hospital, some Sanic here and there...
I've been on a variety of games as of late. Started Bastion for PC and it's pretty fun. The mechanics are simple enough to understand but have enough variety that I don't get bored. Also the narration cracks me up.
Working on Mint's story for Threads of Fate on my PSP as well. Played Rue's story already and I'm finding Mint's to be a lot easier and more amusing so I'm glad I saved it for second.
Recently completed Professor Layton and the Unwound Future for NDS and started Kingdom Hearts Re:Coded. While the story is the least interesting of any other KH by far, I really enjoy the matrix system. KH seems to build upon its system with each entry contrary to FF which always tries to reinvent the wheel.
Finally, I have Xenoblade Chronicles going for Wii which is an awesome game. You know it's a great game when you spend 5 hours in one area doing quests and don't even notice it. The story is also pretty interesting and I anticipate it will just get better.
I completed Assassin's Creed 1, the ending had a WTF moment.
Now playing Assassin's Creed 2, story is good so far, I am looking forward to some challenge during the game.
And enjoy the fact that the games get more polished and enjoyable.Quote:

Finished the main quest line in Skyrim today. It was ok. Not the best ending I would say, but hey, it was good.
I still have lots to do in Skyrim, but for now I'll play something else.
Should I play inFamous 1 now or Heavy Rain?
infamous 1 was pretty good go for it
i am having a tough time staying interested in bioshock
can i just go through the game without fighting the daddies?
You may find the ending to re: coded a tad... uhm... disappointing. I won't spoil it for you, but it's lazy to say the least.Quote:

RDR's ending is the only way it could possibly end, but it still surprised me and was one of the most powerful endings in video games.
Playing smurfing ANGRY BIRDS IN SPACE. I was also bouncing about in BioShock but I cannot play that game 1) at night 2) home alone 3) in the smurfing wilderness 4) when there are dingos about. The howling and noises and trout just... no.

I am currently running errands for Sander Cohen or whatever, the smurfing lunatic art guy. I still don't understand how Andrew Ryan thought that putting a bunch of artists underwater and giving them complete freedom to do whatever the smurf they wanted was a good idea. Doesn't he realise artists are the most insane people we have?
Playing a lot of the usual (Civ 4, Paradox games, etc.)
Also messing around with Rollercoaster Tycoon! The glorious original one.
