Portal games are some of my favorites ever. I've really enjoyed HL2, but I'm kind of terrible at it so I haven't finished it yet. I was so bad at Mirror's Edge I couldn't get passed the first level and it made me quite sick. I really wanted to enjoy it.

Mirror's Edge isn't a shooter. It's first person, but not really a FPS in my opinion.

There are shooty bits... right? Like I said, I never got through the first level. Actually I should amend that, I never got through the TUTORIAL.

I think of it this way. Uncharted had shooty bits, but it wasn't really a 3rd person shooter. It was action adventure.

But Uncharted's shooty bits were the bulk of the game (note: I've only played/watched the first one. My boyfriend did shooting and I did exploration/puzzles. Guess who played the game the majority of the time?) I have a hard time classifying it as an action adventure, to be honest. It's too lopsided.

UC2 flips it a bit. It's a more even ratio, erring more to platforming/cutscenes than shooty bits.

One of the reasons the Vita game is getting such a cold reception is that it's patterned more off the first game than UC2.

To each their own. It sounds like we didn't even play the same game. It had a lot of shooting, but it wasn't the central theme of it. There was a good chunk of platforming and puzzles.

Totally agree with you, I wouldn't classify Uncharted as a third person shooter myself because that really wasn't the main focus. Plus, in UC2 you CAN avoid shooting most of the time if you go with stealth, Plus, there were a few areas that you could skip all together if you stealth and just leave a few enemies and move onto the next section, only possible in a few areas though. If you tried that in some you'd either suicide, have a partner killed or get killed by an enemy that would appear out of nowhere after you pass a certain bit. I remember doing that in the second train crash bit and always got killed by shotgun armoured guys from behind whenever I tried to leave the area even though they hadn't noticed me yet. I remember passing through a few areas without either getting noticed or dying in nepal bits, though, so it was a bit random.

EDIT: really missed stealthing in Uncharted 3. :(

Yeah she is Indonesian, although 'blood-wise' she is 3/4 Chinese. And I speak the language almost as good (or bad) as I speak English.

Before. I actually have a master in 'shit about Indonesia'. I studied the language, culture, law, politics, history etc about Indonesia.
I met her there the sixth time I was there, she was a friend of someone I already knew for a couple of years.

Hahaha. That's cool :D What was it that interested you about the place?

I'm studying German now, and of course a lot of people think it is solely because my boyfriend is German. But before I met him I was trying to decide between German and French as my third language :eek: It just made my decision easier.

*listens to more pop-punx about being shit with girls*

Though it's not even that I'm shit with girls, I'm good with them, just in entirely the wrong way. After the initial shyness, but I get that with everyone.

Indonesia used to be a Dutch colony, it is estimated that 2 million people in the Netherlands (that's 1/8th of the population) have at least a drop of Indonesian blood in them.

My moms uncle was a missionary over there, my uncle worked there...
So there is kind of a bond between Holland and Indonesia.

When I was a young lad..I was really attracted to Asia (a weaboo you might say..but before the anime and waifu's) and I chose Indonesia because for us Dutchies it is so much 'closer' than Thailand or Cambodia.

Pop punk about girls usually makes my depression even worse, for some reason.

I had a weaboo phase as well, but it only lasted until I actually spent a bit of time in Japan :D I still ended up getting one of my BAs in Japanese though. Mostly because I became interested in medieval literature. Holland has quite a history with Japan as well. Quite amazing for such a small country :D (Nagasaki has so much Dutch stuff, even a place called Hollander Hill.)


It is helpful when studying German linguistics (not just learning how to speak it, studying its inner workings) to have a native speaker boyfriend. The book made a claim and I showed him the sentence example they had (without telling him what it was supposed to be about) and he actually didn't understand their intended meaning. Book fail! :D

I am not big into FPSs. Here are some examples of ones I would be interested in playing:

Civil War FPS (MP would be pretty cool, I think.)
Fantasy FPS (fantasy doesn't just mean medieval, guys)
Any setting that isn't WWII, modern, or sci-fi. I think we've seen enough, thanks.
More FPS where you can at least choose to be a woman (this shouldn't be that complicated.)
More FPS where I can create a character (high level of customization is nice.)

(inspired from a conversation with my boyfriend)

Speaking of nice settings, can't wait for Bioshock Infinite :eek:

+1 on all points.
Spanish Civil War FPS or Strategy game would be awesome, even an action rpg.

How about an FPS (or FP whatever, no guns) in this universe:

Fairly crappy Xbox near-launch game called Azurik. By and large it sucked. But while playing it I got a huge inkling that its fantasy universe would lend itself heavily to better games.

edit: Oh and despite the relatively generic sci-fi atmosphere I should mention that Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay is among the most unique, entertaining and memorable FPS games ever and should be an inspiration to future iterations.
