Hmm, I guess I'll buy Skywards Sword locally and import Super Mario 3D Land. With some luck Mario might arrive before December.

Uncharted 3, Skyward Sword and Super Mario all in a month. Wow.

How can you forget Skyrim?

 

[Fredescu]

Very much so. Caught the reunion tour last year and was filling up a bit (although the band displayed no such emotion).

I didn't see the reunion tour, but when I've seen them play in the past they weren't terribly emotional. Except Ibold who seems to have a permanent smile.

I did see Sebadoh last week.

I ordered Pacman Dimensions from OzGameShop as a test, that was nearly 2 weeks ago. Fuck that.

 

[codswallop]

Yeah, its pretty depressing. We are so glad we got in when we did, even if we perhaps paid slightly over the odds at the time, all good now really as we have smashed the mortgage down and hope to upgrade in 12-18 months I think.

Depressing, indeed. We're paying a pretty low price for where we're renting, so the idea of paying three times what we're paying and still not being able to really afford anything is pretty frustrating.

The alternative I guess is just to rent forever and use the extra money to either save or just fritter it away (not that there's necessarily anything wrong with that).

 

[Echoplx]

Considering how little I have found about the game you may be the first person to write a review. The lack of information that was released has lead me to believe it will be shit. Otherwise why release a game out to die with no hype?

There's a let's play of the game up, looks interesting but not sure if I would pay 40$

Too many unplayed games on my Steam account. Don't need another.

I ordered Pacman Dimensions from OzGameShop as a test, that was nearly 2 weeks ago. Fuck that.

It's been hit or miss when pre-ordering from TheHut. Zelda 3DS arrived in around a week while Xenoblade arrived in three.

I can wait a couple of weeks for Mario since Zelda and Uncharted will take up lots of my time and I can only get started on those after exams. Money's also an issue :|

Because it's Bethesda and not Obsidian.

Too much of a gamble for me I'm afraid. I'll also have Uncharted and such too.

Also Skyrim can go give one

This is a great post. I'll still be neck deep in Dark Souls by the time Uncharted 3 rolls around, never mind anything else.

"On page ###

Spoiler

Dicks, dicks everywhere.

"

Again, I'm reading a paperback omnibus edition of a book that was originally released in two parts. For you, page ### might mean

Spoiler

dicks, dicks everywhere

but for me it might mean

Spoiler

bosoms, bosoms everywhere

. Or the page number I quote is so high, it makes no sense.

 

[Ruthless_Barbarian]

Obsidian fucked up Kotor2 and NWN2.

 

[Cohsae]

Bethesda fucked up Oblivion sooooo

 

[Fusebox]

Same here, I'm reading it in the 4-book ebook collection so page numbers have no bearing on the actual books, but then I would have posted my spoilers in the actual GOT thread instead of dragging it into here anyway...

 

[markot]

Hah, the publishers did, not Obsidian. They were forced to release unready products >.<

Annnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnd.

Its been nearly 16 hours of 29/9 AND STILL NO BF3 BETA? GG EA Or should I say SLOWPOKEA!

 

[Ruthless_Barbarian]

What, how so?

 

[markot]

What, how so?

It was a terribly awful game that sucked?

Two things: 1) Stuff from pre-ADwD books is spoiled in those threads all the time. 2) I'm scared to go in there again

 

[Ruthless_Barbarian]

You must be insane, I've put more than 300 hours in that game.

 

[Cohsae]

Loved Morrowind, thoroughly disliked Oblivion.

 

[hamchan]

Oblivion sucking is a pretty popular opinion around GAF, so watch who you're calling insane.

I'm alright with the game but Morrowind was much better than it.

 

[Planet_JASE]

Dammit, neither of the comic stores in town had Aquaman, surprise sell out. I also got the last copy of Superman in Adelaide!

DCs strategy seems to be working for now, people are lapping it up.

Comic fans buying up #1s in droves? My my, how things have changed...

 

[Deeku]

I thought Oblivion was great since it was my first Wrpg.

Also, wtf it seems I can't multiplayer 4 swords with a 3ds and dsi

 

[roosters93]

My verdict on Kooka's Country Cookies. Nice but not mindblowing. I prefer the plain raspberry over the choc raspberry ones.

Maybe it's because I'm not a big fan of jam to begin with. I only ever have it with scones.
No jam toast or PB&J sandwiches for me thanks.

Off course, morowind was a gem. But oblivion was damn good too....and Skyrim will be better than both.

 

[Choc]

maybe RIM should be suing Amazon

The fire looks just like the playbook

I have 0 idea how people can state this sort of stuff. Yet you see it all the time. Sigh

 

[Planet_JASE]

Because it's black and rectangular?

 

[jambo]

Oblivion was so bad.

Obsidian fucked up Kotor2 and NWN2.

NWN2 > NWN

Also Fallout NV > Fallout 3

 

[elfinke]

Also Fallout NV > Fallout 3

I was going to post something to this effect (I disliked F3 alot), but haven't given NV the time of day either, really. It's icon on the desktop mocks me whenever I firer the computer up.

 

[Dead Man]

Whichever is on the left looks much better though.

 

[Choc]

well thats why apples suing samsung! look and feel. The one on the left is the playbook

 

[Ruthless_Barbarian]

NWN2 < NWN

Wait, you're serious?

7" Galaxy looks similar too.

Spoiler

Eh, I never got into it at all and I'm not a big fan of RPGs. Heard the hype, bought it cold and returned it after about a week of playing it and 6 months of not.

 

[Planet_JASE]

Surely there are also hardware or UI reasons for it, too?

Otherwise the company that designed the modern fridge should sue everyone for copying it. Yeah, you know that whole split-door on the front thing? Yep, that's me. Pay up.

 

[Deeku]

Aren't they suing because of a patent infringement? I don't think it's as simple as look and feel.

 

[Omikron]

Apple have a lot of patents on UI interactions and end user experience type things... soooo....

 

[hamchan]

Wait, you're serious?

You misquoted him, he wrote: NWN2 > NWN.

Which is true.

 

[Doncamatic]

Wait, you're serious?

NWN2 is better than NWN purely based on the trial and the fortress management. If the first act was shorter it would be superb.

Also, MotB >> NWN2 (Vanilla) > NWN.

FO: NV >>> FO3, even with its lack of Liam Neeson.

On the Oblivion point, I just didn't like how the game was designed around fast travel, and I really didn't like that you had all the major cities pre-discovered. The loading screens on entering cities was a little bit annoying, but it was the fast travel that frustrated me the most.

 

[ClivePwned]

Next Gen on Bluray. Oh My. Paramount, please do that to TNG, DS9, and release Enterprise (which I believe has at least one season as HD and that will be everything. And the Animated series. Pretty sure I've forgotten nothing worthing remembering. Pretty sure.

It will be the third time I've bought the TNG series (VHS, DVD and now Bluray).

Oblivion was decent as an early 360 title for me but I didn't get too into it before selling it. I much prefer more scifi RPG's like Fallout, Mass Effect, KOTOR and now DE:HR. I'll get Skyrim, but cheaply early next year along with AC:Revelations, Batman, since there's Zelda, BF3, CoD and UC3 eating up my game time. Maybe Rage in there somewhere.

 

[jambo]

Wait, you're serious?

The MP in NWN is pretty great, but the SP campaign is terrible. The Neverwinter Academy was a stupid idea, didn't make any sense. Having no party was another bad idea. The interface in NWN2 is also a lot better.

And in the end I'd rather play BG2.

 

[Shaneus]

So TNG *is* coming out on BR? I've never watched an episode of TNG before (with the odd exception of when I stayed up late on a school night to watch it on TV) but I would probably buy a BR rerelease of the series.

 

[hamchan]

I'm not too hyped about Rage. I barely know what it's about or how it plays.

 

[jambo]

But it's id.

id!

So guys, has anyone here been to a gaming tournament in Australia?
