Just picked up Resistance 2. Really looking forward to playing it.

alenfort 01-31-2011 10:03 AM

I'm playing Super Mario Galaxy 2 on the Wii and I'm playing it because I bought it for my son, but I like the game better and so I am trying to complete the game because it's great.

Sparky 02-01-2011 11:39 AM

orange box again. Can run on my macbook which is sweet.

Kirby 02-01-2011 01:02 PM

I'm waiting for Bulletstorm to come out. I was a big fan of Painkiller on PC, and I'm glad to see those guys releasing something for consoles. Plus the demo was a fuckton of fun.

Phantom Limb 02-01-2011 02:25 PM

**** a Orange Box, I got Bioshock 2.

Insane Guest 02-01-2011 03:11 PM

**** Bioshock 2, Bioshock 1 is 10x better.

How ****ing dare you, sir?
Get the **** out of this thread.

Orange Box is one of the best game collections ever released ever.




In all seriousness, though, I would much rather have Orange Box than Bioshock 2.

Phantom Limb 02-01-2011 07:26 PM

Ya, I got both biotch.

Kirby 02-01-2011 07:28 PM

As do I.
Just saying Orange Box is a million times better than Bioshock wishes it could ever be.

With that being said. I hope Half Life 2 Episode 3 comes out eventually. =/

Same. I heard it's going to use the Portal gun? That should be fucking epic. I love that game world, so mysterious, eerie and intriguing.

simplephysics 02-01-2011 07:30 PM

Looking forward to the new Mortal Kombat release, I should really brush up on my kombo's..

Phantom Limb 02-01-2011 07:32 PM

Yeah, you're right. The orange Box is ridiculously awesome. 5 games in one is better than Kanye's new album.

FaSho 02-01-2011 07:33 PM

I've been playing the Assassin's Creed series recently. I am completely blown away by how immersive the games are. The amazing graphics, detailed environments, and fluid movements really make me excited about what the future of video games has to offer.

are you as hyped up about Marvel Vs. Capcom 3 coming out?

I think I'll pass on Mortal Kombat but MvC is definitely getting my purchase.

and I don't even really like fighting games.

I don't think one has been announced yet, but yeah .. I'm waiting patiently!

I am too. I beat epsiode 2 again just recently and the ending makes me want to see more SO BADLY.

Guybrush 02-02-2011 10:28 AM

The source engine is a bit old. They've steadily improved it, but I believe they're gonna need to do a major overhaul before Episode 3 is released if they wanna avoid accusations of releasing "outdated" software. It could work if they released it now, but since there's no whiff of an announcement date yet, I figure it's still due for release in the distant future and the problem of the age of the source engine which might be a minor issue today is only going to get bigger in the future.

I guess they're working on it though!

Sparky 02-02-2011 11:53 AM

Idk man. This generation graphics, at least in terms of raw horsepower don't mean as much. Playing through half life, the color scheme and character movement all looks great. All the people react like humans.

If they improve the textures some, it won't really matter to me too much. Episode 3 better be the finale though.

Anyone else think episode 1 was a total waste of time?

Lets go BACK into the building we just blew up...for some reason?

Guybrush 02-02-2011 11:57 AM

To me, graphics don't mean much, but I figure it would be a bad marketing move to fall behind on technology. Both Half-Life and Half-Life 2 were real achievements graphics-wise and now they're starting to fall behind. If they do it more, they will be leaving themselves open for criticism which I assume is unacceptable for Valve seeing the standard they have on their products.

I wouldn't call Ep 1 a wate of time, but I was a little disappointed for sure. It was very much a way of bridging the gap .. nowhere close to the quality of Ep 2 :)

Anyone have all the Episode 2 achievements? I only miss one, shooting all the glow worms. There's one I couldn't find somewhere. :p:

Kirby 02-02-2011 05:14 PM

I've gotten all the Episode 2 achievements. I just need to get a couple Team Fortress and those Portal Gold Medal achievements and I'll have em all.

The last released Episode 3 date was Christmas 07, but we all know how Valve is with release dates.

Valve Time: Christmas 2007
Actual Time: Coincident with the Rapture

Sparky 02-02-2011 05:14 PM

episode 2 was perfect as far as im concerned. It's the closest the videogame has came to having a "the road"-esque narrative.

Trying to get to this place on a piece of **** jalope while encountering various aliens and human refugees was awesome.

Something i've always wondered was why is Gordon so ****ing famous though? Like everybody on the planet is an some type of scientist who knows about black mesa, i dont get it..

Freebase Dali 02-02-2011 06:43 PM

Downloading Amnesia: The Dark Descent at the moment.
Anyone play this yet? It has some great reviews. Supposed to be spooky as hell. I guess I'll find out soon enough.

Mmyeah, it's okay. I've played it for a couple of hours. It's not the kind of spooks that really tickle my scare bone, but it's creepy enough :)

Sparky 02-02-2011 07:58 PM

It's scary as **** if you play it in the dark with headphones, one of my favorite games of last year for sure.

Have you played the first game?

Sparky 02-03-2011 10:21 AM

No, i've tried torrentin it a couple times but no seeds. Why? Would it explain it?

Kirby 02-03-2011 08:44 PM

You would know why he's famous, yes.

Also, now I can't wait for this...

http://media1.gameinformer.com/image..._215_front.jpg

Sparky 02-04-2011 08:12 AM

You wanna explain it to me real quick? I don't feel like reading some "story faq'" on gamefaqs or any of that ****

holy****ing****.

Kirby 02-06-2011 07:46 PM

^ Thats what I said, too. Haha.

And Matious, you can't really sum up Half-Life with a short paragraph, because you would miss so much information. The best I can do is point you to the Wikipedia plot page.

Half-Life (video game) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Also, I just got 1000/1000 on DJ Hero. I'm happy.

And I'm about to start on Castlevania: Lords of Shadow.

Rage Against the Machine 02-06-2011 09:01 PM

After about 35 hours total I'm at last almost to 100% completion in Red Dead. All I have left to do is some bounties and 2 of the ambient challenges. I'd probably be done by now if the fucking poker game in Blackwater you have to do to unlock the US Army outfit didn't take 3-4 hours for me to beat (I had never played poker before). I honestly almost ended my life trying to beat that freaking black guy every time

Also to whom it may concern is Gears of War worth playing? Obviously it's legendary but I am a very poor and casual gamer so there's a lot of essentials I've never played

RVCA 02-06-2011 10:39 PM

..... Minecraft.

Kill me now.

Gears is pretty cool. If there's a demo, I would try it first.
And before you buy it, if it's not out already, there's a pack coming out with Gears of War, Gears of War 2 and Gears of War 2: All Fronts Map Pack altogether for around 30 dollars, So I would recommend that.

Phantom Limb 02-07-2011 02:58 PM

There are better shooters than Gears to play. Get Rainbow Six Vegas 2 instead.

Rage Against the Machine 02-07-2011 03:16 PM

Yeah I researched Gears of War a bit and I might hold off for a while. I'll play it eventually since I'm an idealist but for now I'm saving up for Dead Space 2 and others.

Been playing Survival mode. I kinda of shot myself in the foot because I traveled a good 5 minutes south of my spawn point before making a "home base". So every time I get swarmed by creeps in a dungeon and die, I have a hell of a time recovering my stuff and finding my base.
