Speaking of which: I just finished TWD today.

 

[kharma45]

I remember having almost no hype for Arkham Asylum but bought it day 1 anyway cos it was a new Batman game, and I fucking love Batman.

Fucking brilliant experience, really captured the essence and feel of BTAS.

Same, I only pre-ordered it as I managed to nab it for £18. It and Dead Space were huge surprises.

Wilbur pls. Both equally as shit in the gameplay department.

@Kharma

Wait a minute...where's TW2 and Dark Souls?

Wilbur, pass me a pitchfork.

After playing Demons Souls I have no desire to go near Dark Souls As for Witcher 2, again the first one put me off but I still bought it, just not played it yet so that's why it and a few other games are potentially missing there.

Ellie and Joel shit on Lee and Clementine and I have TWD+400DLC and loved that game.

I've bought the DLC but yet to play it. Might try and blast through it on Monday evening.

Fair enough, I just felt Lee and Clem had a tight bond that I bought in to more.

 

[arkon]

For real.

He's one of those guys who gets asked "Messi or Ronaldo?" and replies with "Juan Roman Riquelme".

He's Ray Hudson then.

 

[panty]

I liked Lee and Clem more, even though I liked Ellie.

Fair enough, different opinions and tastes.

TLoU is probably the only game where I almost teared up/had a tear in my eye. Love Ellie's character.

Gears defined this gen: UE3, cover, drop in/out co-op, the graphics, multiplayer and Horde may not have been something brand new to Gears but I think its success certainly showed games how to do it. It came out and sold very well ("AAA" games got bigger as the gen went on, but it was a massive hit). Without Gears this gen would have been very different.

I've enjoyed every Uncharted, but I ND lacked focus towards the end of the projects in all 3 and were frustrating at points in all of them.

Multiplayer focus increased from 1 -> 3 and 3 is just incredible with the amount of options and what there is to do. For me personally, few games have much on Gears this gen. I did state in my opinion, not as a fact.

after they added dedicated servers to gears3 it became sex. too bad judgment took a shit on the franchise

top 5 in no order cause i dont time to be a console warrior since i pay more in taxes every week than what it costs to buy all 3 systems-

Mass effect (1+2)
Bioshock infinite
Uncharted (only 2)
Gears (1+3)
Red dead Redemption

honorable - saints row, boderlands, infamous (only 1), Shadow Complex, Journey, COD (only 4)

It's rather short and not nearly as good as the full game.

 

[kharma45]

TWD is the only game where I had to stop playing as it made me sad

Fucking Carley

It's rather short and not nearly as good as the full game.

Ah well, only £3 at the end of the day.

 

[Salvadora]

On 360? Thankfully I experienced it on PC where they'd fixed a lot of the bugs.

Yeah, you were lucky missing it. Load times were unbearable, textures frequently didn't load or were delayed etc.

And yet despite that it's widely loved. Sort of reminds me of the first Dragon Age to a degree, and they both had a similarly shite sequel.

 

[Mr.Marston]

Uncharted has nothing on something like Gears of War in my opinion.

I tried Gears and found it to be rather shit. Didn't help that the online was a laggy shotgun fest.

Opinions innit.

 

[panty]

It's rather short and not nearly as good as the full game.

..it's a DLC. Pretty much like a new chapter/episode.

 

[Feorax]

Mirrors Edge, Burnout Paradise, GTA IV, MGS4, Halo 3 and inFamous.

Late 2007 to mid 2009 was the peak of this gen imo.

I played that one conversation over three times picking the different options seeing if it would change the outcome.

 

[Steverulez]

And yet despite that it's widely loved. Sort of reminds me of the first Dragon Age to a degree, and they both had a similarly shite sequel.

Dragon Age 2 made me want to hurt myself, fucking hell it was just such a disappointment. DA1 was pretty bad technically (played it on 360) but I could look past that stuff because I loved it.

The EA acquisition was bad news for Bioware.

Btw, you have an amazing avatar, she is incredible.

 

[Awesome Animals]

Let's talk about Aston Villa and the fact that we have extended the contracts of 7 key players of our team (Benteke included).

 

[Sleeplessnights]

To the industries detriment! And I say that despite enjoying Uncharted 2, although not to the degree that most did.

There's always that time after a big successful game where all the mediocre games coming after it for a few years are copying significant ideas from it.

I personally believe Uncharted changed the way voice acting and "acting" is done in games. I believe Infinite and TLoU are a testament to that.

Can't wait for Origins!!!

I don't know what to expect from it, it's been long enough since the last Batman game that I am willing to give it a good look.

 

[kharma45]

Mirrors Edge, Burnout Paradise, GTA IV, MGS4, Halo 3 and inFamous.

I liked GTA 4 a lot too, but I think I had more fun with TBOGT DLC.

I didn't, I was too depressed :lol just wanted to stop playing.

 

[Baconsaurus Rex]

..it's a DLC. Pretty much like a new chapter/episode.

The idea is great: five short stories which tie together in the end and there are some great scenarios but it's just not the same. It's a good DLC, don't get me wrong, but there's not enough time to actually bond with the new characters so it just all falls a bit flat in that department. Something the base game did amazingly well.

 

[panty]

My somewhat Top 5(6) GOTG list off the top of my head

TLoU
Ass Effect 2 (Fem Shep ftw)
RDR
Batman: AA/AC
TLoU
Uncharted 2
Ni No Kuni

 

[Awesome Animals]

)

So do I! What does that mean?

 

[Naughty God]

TLOU, Uncharted 2, Wipeout HD, GTA IV, Portal, Euro Truck Simulator 2, MGS4, COD4.

Thus states the Chief.

 

[Yurt]

I actually enjoyed Dead Space and Dragon Age, I don't know why really.

After playing Demons Souls I have no desire to go near Dark Souls As for Witcher 2, again the first one put me off but I still bought it, just not played it yet so that's why it and a few other games are potentially missing there.
.

Dark Souls is WAY easier and better(!) than Demons Souls.

Yeah, TW1 was a fucking turd. The story and ending though are unparalleled.

It wasn't the difficulty that put me off, it was just boring :\ might give TW1 another go

 

[Baconsaurus Rex]

Fallout 3 and NV, both Metros, Portal 2, Bio Infinite, CoD4 and Halo 3.

Forgot RDR. That was a good game.

 

[Awesome Animals]

Finally purchasing a PC that can play games! I'm so excited!

 

[Salvadora]

Dragon Age 2 made me want to hurt myself, fucking hell it was just such a disappointment. DA1 was pretty bad technically (played it on 360) but I could look past that stuff because I loved it.

Btw, you have an amazing avatar, she is incredible.

DA1 was arguably in worse shape than ME1 overall, but it had such potential. It's almost indescribable. It's a special game that makes you overlook significant problems and love it.

I've now been burned twice by Bioware. Fool me once.. and all that.

You're right by the way, Yvonne is incredible . Anytime I've thought of changed the avatar (to something Arsenal or Game of Thrones), I just can't bear to!

 

[Naughty God]

Finally purchasing a PC that can play games! I'm so excited!

Get Euro Truck Simulator 2.

 

[panty]

Oh yeah forgot about GTA IV, MGS4, Darksiders, Catherine.. There's too much games.

 

[Clegg]

Umm..

The Times say United are prepared to spend £100m to sign Bale and Fabregas.

 

[Sleeplessnights]

So do I! What does that mean?

Me too except Gears 3. That was really boring half way through to the end.

I'd add a few to the list too.

 

[LabouredSubterfuge]

You're in for sexy times.

 

[Lunchbox]

Wilbur pls. Both equally as shit in the gameplay department.

agreed, traded that shit in to amazon before it depreciates more in price.

the framerate is puke worthy and the gunplay is pathetic. after i got most of the melee upgrades it basically boiled down to adding a scissor to my bat and running up and hitting square. Also holding L2 the entire game for that slow ass cunt joel to move? wtf


had more fun with uncharted than last of us, thats all matters. ill watch a movie if want a quality story instead of a cliche filled zombie fantasy. i play games for fun, not sudo "emotions" worthy of a low budget uwe bole movie.

 

[Awesome Animals]

I can finally play through my Steam back catalog. Of course I probably won't anyways.

I wasn't a huge lover of ME2 and 3, they were good but I thought EAs influence on the series (even though it was denied by Bioware) was clear and obvious, and I'm not a big EA fan.

I think if you changed it to an avatar of Daenerys that would be fine, other wises keep it the same

 

[kharma45]

Finally purchasing a PC that can play games! I'm so excited!

Awesome. So many good titles to get in on, and Steam sale means plenty of opportunity to get stuff!

Fallout 3 and NV, both Metros, Portal 2, Bio Infinite, CoD4 and Halo 3.

Forgot RDR. That was a good game.

Yeah the Fallout games, TES and Metro 2033 (not played LL) are all extremely flawed but great all the same.

 

[Feorax]

It looks like if we're unable to convince Suaez to stay, we're looking to replace him with Soldado. Both us and Spurs willing to pay the release clause according to AS.

 

[Naughty God]

I just got a Tomb Raider card on Steam for no reason. Another 8p to add to my bankroll. I'm probably being an idiot by selling these things as soon as I get them. Still, they've paid for a couple of cheap games so I can't complain.

 

[Baconsaurus Rex]

Fallout 3 and NV, both Metros, Portal 2, Bio Infinite, CoD4 and Halo 3.

Forgot RDR. That was a good game.

Let me add Superbrothers: Sword & Sworcery EP and and Spec Ops to the list as well.

 

[Salvadora]

Umm..

The Times are saying United are prepared to spend £100m to sign Bale and Fabregas.

You wouldn't pry Bale free from Levy's grasp with £50m, or even £60m.

They won't sell and he won't go anywhere other than Spain. Woodward is leading your club down the garden path.

I think if you changed it to an avatar of Daenerys that would be fine, other wises keep it the same

The short amount of time when it wasn't Yvonne, it was Daenerys!

 

[LabouredSubterfuge]

I can finally play through my Steam back catalog. Of course I probably won't anyways.

That's the spirit. You're a PC gamer already.

 

[CrashBandicoot]

Portal 2 is the only game I can think of right now that legitimately made me laugh, and is probably my favourite this gen. Haven't played TLoU yet though.

 

[Vivalaraza]

Let's talk about Aston Villa and the fact that we have extended the contracts of 7 key players of our team (Benteke included).

Lambert has done great stuff this summer. I had sense he would be able to, Villa just had to survive the drop.

 

[Freewheelin']

You guys are all forgetting one underrated gem.

Spoiler

deadly premonition

 

[Awesome Animals]

Lambert has done great stuff this summer. I had sense he would be able to, Villa just had to survive the drop.

I never had doubt. Knew we just had to get to the summer.

Well..

He's right.

 

[Salvadora]

I think it would portray Cesc in a very bad light to leave Barcelona in the current climate, too. He may not care, but I think he would. Jumping ship when your managers just left because of a serious illness is bad form.

 

[Lunchbox]

Nothing in terms of story, characters and the way a game makes you feel comes close to TLoU.

did you tear up during twilight too? get a grip

omg that bitch got drilled, so heart wrenching. I was asking why didnt they let me control the gun, i wouldve shot her in the head instead of the gut, wouldve nailed her daddy too if i had the shoot through the wall perk


what? the bums you mow down during the 14 hour story dont have family? only you do? like brad pitt said in fight club youre no special snowflake buddy

 

[Baconsaurus Rex]

Yeah the Fallout games, TES and Metro 2033 (not played LL) are all extremely flawed but great all the same.

Yeah it appears so that I've got a thing for janky games. The TES and Fallout games get much and much better when you mod them. Played both F3 and Oblivion on the Xbox but I just bought F3 on PC so I can replay it with some nice mods added. I played NV on my old PC so I can't wait to spice it up with mods, something I could do for a little bit on my old PC but nothing fancy. Still got 74 hours out of that though. Oblivion left me with a sour taste though, just didn't do anything for me and I haven't even tried Skyrim yet. Still waiting for it to drop in price.

Still, combined those three games netted me about 250 hours. Not too shabby.
