Bigred's Video Game Thread

[a500lbgorilla]

Borrowed Deus Ex, it gave me one of the best gaming experiences attempting a zero kills all stealth run for my first go round.


Possible Spoilers, but unlikely:

Just before the first boss you take an elevator down into a very sneak un-friendly complex filled with soldiers. I was dilligently working my way to the target when I got peeked, panicked, and began running up and punching people in the face/stun gun/slanging concussion grenades. It was intense. I would recommend it to everyone.

Sweet! Good timing for me as my new year starts on 2/1.

Been traveling a late lately but looking forward to getting home and playing more Fifa career mode. I have some complaints but I really enjoy the transfer system supported by the youth academy and scouting networks. Building your team in the short term and long term is a lot of fun.

Best f'n game I've ever played, period. Let me offer some advice tho. Don't rush through it. When you finish it, you'll know what I mean.

I find there are very few things in gaming as satisfying as lining up 6 head shots with that slow mo aim mode in RDR and then watching the proceeding blasting of faces.

Edit: With your 6 shooter LDO

[lolzzz_321]

anyone ever play jagged alliance 2?

the pure nizzles

[bigred]

Recently got ghost trick for ipad. You can play the first two chapters for free. The dialogue (there's a bunch) is silly Japanese stuff but it's a cool concept.

[dranger7070]

I'm Ron Burgundy?

Just borrowed RDR and gonna go load it up now. Between poker, WW and RDR my wife and kids are gonna think I abandoned them. I'm sure they'll be ok.

Don't worry, RDR will provide yoy with a new family, a better one, one that needs you.

Just started playing Resident Evil 4 again. For one reason or another, I've never completed this game... the furthest I've ever managed was just past the castle.

I'm annoyed with myself for leaving such a ridiculously awesome game on my shelf for so many years, so I'm gonna give it some serious love and attention and hopefully go for 100% (including Ada, mercenaries, you name it)

[bigred]

I've heard RE4 is one of the best games of the last 10 years. The Rebel FM guys always refer to it lovingly.

[boost]

RE4 seems like one of those games that would make buying a (stupid) console worth it.

[Luco]

There are points where it becomes more of an experience than a game. In particular the death animations (there are loads) are just fabulous. The first time I had my head lopped off by a chainsaw, I watched the saw slow down slightly at the bone and then fly out the other side in a shower of blood. Attention to detail ftw

I believe it's available for download on both XBL and PSN, so there's no need to buy a crappy console just to play it. Although the wii pointer makes aiming dead easy (pun intended)

Just going by what I've seen online, there's HD versions in the xbl / psn stores. I assumed by 'stupid console' you meant the wii, as re4 has been out for PC for years...

[Luco]

Oh and I didn't buy skyward sword, but a relative has it so I'm gonna borrow from them once they've completed it

[bode]

i played SS for like 35 hours or so the week between christmas and new years when i was off work, but haven't touched it yet. Its a really good game, and i hope i get around to finishing it someday.

[Luco]

How far has 35 hours got you in terms of completion?

[bikes]

sold another mmo account for profit. the wonderful part of this one is modified a bot so i only had to do mebbe a few hours of actual playing. perfected the bot style and code so it's ready for the next server launch

[JKDS]

Im playing the uncharted series for the first time. I really like Drake's Fortune, and am about halfway through. Its either rather difficult for a fps...or i just suck at aiming from having not played fps's in forever.

[boost]

oh snap, didn't realize RE4 was avail for PC.

[bode]

i dont remember completely, but i got through the water temple and the first trial. I think i was supposed to go to the second trial next. Maybe thats not that far for 35 hours, but i spent a ton of time screwing around with mini games and exploring.

[Luco]

@jkds UC1 is the hardest in the series imo. its also merely a good game while the other two are great. enjoy the series

I don't remember finding the aiming difficult but some of the jumping/climbing puzzles were at times.

Uncharted 2 is prob one of my fave games ever. Surely Top 5. Haven't got around to playing 3 yet. RE4 for the Wii is up there as well. It's been out for years but I just played it last year and found it stands up really well.

Playing Assassin's Creed II right now - interesting and very good but some of the gameplay mechanics are annoying, particularly when you have to chase somebody.

[BennyLaRue]

The kid needs to shut up about being abandoned though. I had to kill him a couple of times to feel better about myself.

I wanted to kill that slimey medicine man scammer so bad. Tried so many times and was not happy that I was unable to

This is why fallout 3 and New Vegas are so amazing. NPC annoy you? Shoot their head off.

Wait, you can kill your kids if they whine about abandonment issues?

In the game, yes. Don't be one of those people who kills himself IRL and blames Black Sabbath, ok?

[dranger7070]

The voices in my head told me to.

[bigred]

There's no way you can kill a kid in a game. I never tried though

[rong]

You can't kill kids in skyrim. But they do scream when I get the mace of molag bal on em.

[Luco]

I'm in agreement with bigred, there's no way you could pop a kid in a video game.

In the opening scenes of Homefront these parents get executed on the street corner in front of their toddler and he runs up to their corpses crying his eyes out. If only the rest of the game was even half as awesome...

[BennyLaRue]

Dynamite, RDR.

To be fair, he thinks he's a man. He ain't, but he thinks it.

[bigred]

Just discovered infection mode in MW3...amazing

[Ragnar4]

Why is no-one talking about SSX Deadly Descents? While it's not quite as good as SSX 3 was in its day, it's sorta like sayign that FF7 wasn't quite as good as FF6. They both blew the industry out of the water. Game is over the top insane, hard yet rewarding, gorgeous graphics, terrible storyline, but I'm not one to read a Playboy for the articles either.

Re: killing kids? Rockstar games was allowing kids to get ganked way back in Grand Theft Auto on the NES, you could run over a baby-carriage with your car, and it wasn't the Kid's Kool-Aid that you were leaving in your tracks as the car peeled away. Call of Duty had kids in the airport that you help the Russians shoot up, In Deja-Vu, you could poison a kid, but that would get you arrested and thrown in jail with the smelly homeless guy who you socked in the eye.

[Luco]

Have you ever bought a game based on the media buzz / hype? I have, lots of times. The only time I was disappointed was with Pikmin (GC). After hearing so many places call it a 'must-have' I went and picked it up, but despite sinking several evenings into it I just couldn't enjoy it at all. My brother thinks it's awesome though.

[bigred]

Bikes told me about this but it's epic...the masses (pun intended) should see this!

FUCCCCCKKKKKKKK

scratched the shit out of my mw3 disc when I was dusting my tv cabinet while dead playing SnD. Knocked glass pane off holders, xbox continued to spin disc while it came off try and scratched itself to shit on try. Same exact thing happened to my Fifa 11 disc.

Sigh

[bode]

why isn't your girlfriend dusting?

[bigred]

She usually does. I'm working from home today so I said I'd do it.

[bigred]

So apparently I can install a working cd to my local xbox HD and then use the broken disk to play since it just verifies I have it. Going to borrow my bro's game on Friday.

[Luco]

fffffuuu

Playing Re4, sold the free rocket launcher as soon as I got it. Forgot about the *one* boss for which a RL is a necessity. Bye bye 15k pesetas

Also, finally got my file on 'defend your castle' to the point where castle defends itself with minimal human intervention. This was my completion goal as the levels are infinite.

I play a pretty mean plastic guitar. If only my real guitar were as tuneful

finished ME3, it's awesome.

So there's this game called "diabolo 3" or something coming out in may. Haven't heard much about it but it looks like it will be decent.

I still haven't played this. And I probably won't for a pretty long time as it will run like shit on my laptop and my desktop is 1700 miles away.

You should be forwarding these completed games of awesome to some random old person, imo. and by random i mean me.

[BennyLaRue]

Yes, I'm so glad I invested the couple of years of not gaming to get behind on the times. It's much cheaper and you have these pre-made lists of awesome games.

That said, finished Assassin's Creed II last night and it's just good, not great. I guess I'm not seeing what others saw.

[bigred]

Just got Bastion from xbox live arcade. It is awesome and a very unique way to tell a story. It's $15 but you can download a trial version to test it out. I highly recommend it. Oh, it also got best download game of the year in 2011.
