1998, 2001, 2004, 2007, 2010...every three years, awesomeness

2013 confirmed to be godlike

I don't doubt it. Rising was pretty damn phenomenal.

 

[El Odio]

It's probably because I chose to reply Bioshock recently but my hype for Infinite has gone from not very to can't wait. Wish I could fit Bioshock 2 in but the PC version is unplayable as of late it seems. Also seems like I chose a bad time to hop into the OT though given the recent spoiler suicides. Eh, what can I do.

Play Minervas Den. You could easily finish it by Tuesday. Easily. Just use that as your Bio 2 experience.

 

[ArisenDragon]

So what platform you guys getting Infinite on still deciding on PS3 or 360 but as of now I still have PS3 preordered on Amazon.

 

[CambriaRising]

Finished this yesterday after beating Bioshock 2. Was pretty damn good for sure. Only $5 as well. (PC)

I'm on my third play through and can't put it down.

 

[Grief.exe]

Shite. I'm outta here. Having Andrew's post count is not worth it!

I've been avoiding this thread as well because of spoilers.

I'll be in and out until next Thursday.

Yeah man. Quality DLC right there. The Ion laser is also a righteous weapon.

Andrew. and I are going for PS3.

 

[ArisenDragon]

We should add each other guys to talk and/or play stuff outside the forums my gamernames is in my profile.

Yeah I just finished up another Bioshock playthrough and tried to play Bioshock 2, but it kept crashing. I'm crossing my fingers that a fresh install of GFWL(piece of shit) and BS2 will solve my problems.

 

[antitrop]

You should check out The Room if you have an iOS device. Great game of 2013 regardless of platform. It's like a modern Myst.

You are tearing me apart, Atrus.

 

[Vire]

So what platform you guys getting Infinite on still deciding on PS3 or 360 but as of now I still have PS3 preordered on Amazon.

I have a 360 pre-order just because Bioshock 1/2 was better on 360.

But I'm willing to switch if needed.

 

[Voice of Reason]

YOU ARE TEARING ME APART LISA!

I can imagine Booker saying this to Elizabeth while the Songbird chases them.

PC master race, XCom for free was too good. I might double dip to 360 when it drops in price.

Added you on Steam.

Oh god Bioshock 2 DRM.

I will probably partition my storage drive and install a fresh copy of windows for that game, then format afterwards.
GFWL and securom. Are they kidding?

Or just use other means to acquire a clean copy.

Getting it for Xbox as I'm not waiting for the Mac version and don't have a PS3. Same gamertag & steam name as on here.

PC 30GB master race

Guess what I'm doing all this weekend!

 

[antitrop]

PC 30GB master race

Guess what I'm doing all this weekend!

Think the pre-load will probably only be 20GB. Not that that's too much better.

 

[Barry Burton]

I dunno 2013's off to a pretty shitty start. God of War is the best game I've played and it's very mediocre and kind of disappointing compared to the rest of the console games in the series.

And after Bioshock there's really nothing coming until Last of Us in June, and then nothing that I'm aware of until September. New consoles will get here but launch lineups are almost never great.

Heh, I had written off most of Q1 from the beginning. I honestly haven't played anything new this year...I just have really high hopes for Bioshock, Last of Us and GTA. If all 3 of those games somehow manage to all deliver, it's already a great year for me.

I'm also working under the assumption that Nintendo will finally have games for Wii U this fall. Can't imagine how bad things would get if they don't....

Aside from that, I've got an interest in Luigi's Mansion 2, Rayman, Killer Is Dead, Watch Dogs. And then hopefully there's something at launch for either PS4 or 720. Launch lineups are normally crap, you are correct, but even if there's not a Mario 64 or Halo-type game, I'd be happy with something along the lines of Condemned or ZombiU that end up surprising me.

If nothing else, it should be an exciting year (especially after the last 2).

 

[ArisenDragon]

Thanks for adding me guys.

I'll add some of you on PSN later.

it's a real bummer, I would really like to play Minerva's Den.

Deadly Premonition:the Director's Cut comes out in April.

 

[ArisenDragon]

I don't play many pc games I use to play a lot but I got a few a while back, I do have a few though I haven't played on Mac.

 

[toastyToast]

2010 had Bayonetta and Vanquish, both games of the gen

 

[El Odio]

I uninstalled GFWL and downloaded the latest version with no luck. Even updating BS2 to v1.5 doesn't work. These crashes seem to be happening to a lot of people trying to play it lately. I was so relieved to find out Infinite won't use it so thankfully something like this can be avoided.

Play Minervas Den. You could easily finish it by Tuesday. Easily. Just use that as your Bio 2 experience.

I have yet to buy Minerva's Den for PC. Should probably get on that, assuming I can get BS2 working.

 

[Andrew.]

I have one game on Steam but its because I have a shitty laptop.

Its The Dig.

But The Dig is an awesome as fuck game.

I've had so many great gaming experiences already in 2013

Don't Starve
Castlevania Aria of Sorrow
Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga
Getting back into TF2
Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory
Hotline Miami
Metroid Prime
Sleeping Dogs
The World Ends With You

Granted a lot of those were older games, but I've been having ridiculous amounts of fun in 2013.

Stark contrast to the end of 2012 where I was kind of ho hum

Max Payne 3
RAGE
SPEC OPS The Line (Great experience, not so great gameplay)
Assassin's Creed II (Gets very boring, very repetitive, and press X to win)

Come to think of it, this was a huge turn around for me. I remember being very bored of gaming at the end of 2012. Probably because of that streak of games.

 

[The Librarian]

Don't worry, that's why I'm in here instead of the usual suspects. I don't even have a machine capable of playing the game!

Cyan!

Also, 2007 was the best year in gaming ever.

 

[Andrew.]

Metroid Prime

Had your cherry popped eh?

I wish I could play it for the first time again.

 

[Fine Ham Abounds]

Just found some dark chocolate covered acai berries. Got my PG Tips, Breton crackers, havarti, fresh pears, and now these for my Biosnacks.

If the ending sucks, I'm going full spicy Popeyes or a whole Central Grocery Muffaletta. Fuck moderation.

 

[Grief.exe]

Its The Dig.

But The Dig is an awesome as fuck game.

Check out

Don't Starve
Terraria
Binding of Isaac
Mount & Blade: Warband
FTL
Hotline Miami
Bastion (Its only $1 right now)

All of these games are PC only (with the exception of Bastion and Terraria is getting a port) and a complete travesty if you haven't experienced them.

And they are all very cheap.

 

[~Kinggi~]

Any conclusive ps3 360 compares yet? Mostly concerned if texture resolution takes a dump on 360 because of disc size or something. If its just 'Tomb Raider' levels of difference im fine with that.

I have Bastion on 360. Day 1 for that. Loved it. Soundtrack is mesmerizing. I need to play Hotline simply because I live less than an hour from Miami. Its practically principle.

Ill check the others too. Thanks Coop

Oh ya, game looks and plays amazing. Especially on Dolphin

So many GAFFERS have been calling me that lately, its funny because no one mentioned it in the first few months I was here.

Wow look at this fake Bioshock fan.

This little fish looks like he just had his cherry popped!

 

[MuddyDonut]

I think enough time has passed that everything will be fresh again for Metroid Prime. Same thing happened with Onimusha last month, so I think a replay is in order.

Thx now I'm going to have to replay Metroid Prime for the umpteenth time.

 

[BraXzy]

Add me on steam too if you want, don't judge my lack of hours on, I'm at the end of my year and have a lot of uni work. But summer in a month sounds good right?

<-- Same as here <--

 

[Andrew.]

Metroid Prime is like the slowest, deepest, most passionate and best sex in videogame form.

 

[Fine Ham Abounds]

Does that make Other M a limp handjob behind Shoney's?

 

[papercamm]

Couldn't stay away huh? Gotta agree with you there as well; wonderful game.

 

[Grief.exe]

If you guys want to see something crazy, check out the difference.

First set of images is Dolphin with all of my post processing effects and resolution enhancements.

Second set is what your gamecube or Wii would display when plugged into a 1080p TV.

I cant. We have a good crew here. Its really tough to keep out =D

Retro Studios slick art direction keeps those 2003 assets lookin' nice

Added you. Hey, I'm from Manchester too.

 

[Sblargh]

Pre-ordered because of all the shit green man gaming gave me for free. Chose Spec Ops: The Line.

It is nice so far. I killed a civillian, I feel kind of bad about it, but the game did not acknowledged it in any way. I didn't mean to, it was an honest mistake, but one that could be avoided. The fight died down a bit and he ran torwards me, I pressed the button.
Dang.
