Video Games What video games are you currently playing?

I found it funny. Thanks Kaini, forget these fucking ungrateful bastards. You didn't ruin their day, they ruined their own goddamned day by being all up in arms about a video you innocently posted for other peoples enjoyment. But OH NO... it's not good enough for them. No internet memes or lolpenis, just someone having a crack, amusing themself by making a video of something they enjoy with some silly commentary. Fuck this. It should banned. Motherfuckers. Fucking with my head.

thanks, obel. also, the definition of a let's play isn't a guide or a walkthrough - it's a capture of someone playing a game. and this is a capture of someone playing a game - sure, there's editing, but i could point you to a million 'let's play' vids with editing. and also, i never knew you could shoot out the jacuzzi from under them in hitman until now.

tl;dr: fuck off.

edit: obel, get yo'self some tricky truck. you will equally thank and curse me.

I knew about the jacuzzi shot, that's how I got silent assassin, but I never knew about the assassin girl. In theory I like Lets Play videos, but there are so many and some are so boring. They're a great vehicle for comedy and I think this dude gets it right!

Tricky Truck eh? I'll do that. Though not tonight as I have so much work to do it's ridiculous.

Crysis 2. Meh.

Good: a cover system that doesn't stick; runs very smooth on extreme, something the original Crysis never managed; sounds great.

Bad: from open-world environments to a linear on-rails shooter; environments don't seem as destructible (I can't even shoot trees); shitty DRM wont let me play online, looks like CoD with nanosuits; they took out the cool player animations when picking up weapons and getting into vehicles; looks a tad worse than Crysis 1, still some nice new effects and lightning is still great (albeit a bit overbloomed); story makes absolutely no sense; gameplay is exactly the same with simplified controls (not necessary worse), so it's just another generic shooter; and ofcourse it feels like a console port. Greeting with a "please adjust your tv settings" after first launch is not a good sign

I can see why they felt inclined to make their game into some CoD contender. It's a better market than the PC graphics nerds that will pirate the game anyway. But this one, I should have pirated. Not worth the € 50.

Playing Angry Birds on the PC. 3-14 is sending me fucking mental.

Got past the sisters on god of war 2 and now I'm stuck on that hallway with the forcefields that starts with soldiers, mace-dudes, and then more soldiers, and then gorgons and sirens(or whatever they are), and then more soldiers, and then the fucking satyrs(fuck these guys) and fire-trolls(or whatever the fuck they are). No check-points, you have to conserve all your health until you beat the gorgons because if you open the chest before you beat them, you wont be able to recharge and fight the satyrs. Fucking impossible(hard mode).

and GODDAMN RIGHT FUCK THOSE SATYRS....usually when its just one of them im patient enough but when there are sirens n shit shootin shit at me i gotta dodge that shit and lose my shit

the fire minotaurs? i found to be really easy, if thats what you are referring to..

No your really close to where I am and yes, that part was silly hard. What difficulty are you playing on? The room you're in is a cool puzzle though, I got stuck at the iced phoenix puzzle myself, didn't realize I could climb the walls lol. Yeah the satyrs are super easy by themselves because you can just circle-button them until they die, but when there are fire-club weidling assholes and 2 more satyrs and you have no health and just completed 4 other battles beforehand without any checkpoints, really really annoying. Although they don't hunt you down if you are far enough away, they play defensively. Sorry for spoilers about this fucking battle but at least it's not plot related and normal enemies type of thing, just really hard.

lol, lolpenis

I like Kaini. But the video guy was unfunny in a way I guess that reminded us complainers of ourselves in situations where we tried to be funny and didn't succeed. Hence the need to pelt him with rocks.

shogun 2 - absolutely fantastic in every regard, great aesthetic

consoles ruined real gaming, fuck console gaming.

You think that's hard? Try playing the post game challenges. The Challenge of the Gods in GoW1, The Challenge of the Titans in GoW2, and The Challenge of Olympus in GoW3. Now those were hard to do. Especially in GoW1, because you have to do it all in one sitting. But when you finally beat them, you really feel like you've accomplished something in the game. And 'DING', gold trophy.

consoles ruined improved real gaming, fuck consolehaving to install drivers, set video resolution, add more ram, etc. just to play a game. I'm glad computer gaming is dying a slow death, and soon computers will be used for what they were meant for.

Fixed that for ya

Being an owner of all 3 consoles and a nice gaming pc, I have to disagree with both of you. Games are just fitting into niches more and more. Strategy games and traditional RPGs/adventure/puzzle games tend to be released solely on the PC, while the more blockbuster/action/mindless games are released on consoles. Just play the games you like and shut up about whats better. Apples, oranges, and so on.

Key word is 'tend'... I've played really great RPG/adventure/puzzle games on consoles. My whole issue with gaming on a computer versus a dedicated console is the hassle you go through just to play a game in the majority of cases (especially with the big-name titles), and the constant 'rat-race' of having to upgrade just to play the latest games in a decent quality (or at all). At least you get 5-7 years of good use out of a console before the next best thing comes along.

Started up a new run on KOTOR....still pretty fun...but some of the enemies are ridiculously easy and then BAM some droid can freeze you instantly and auto-rape your fallen corpses.

That's actually gone down quite a lot in the last couple of years, except for Crysis and a few others.

Hydro Thunder Hurricane, been playing it regulary for months now.

Seems to be a very underappreciated, I think it's one of the most fun games i've ever bought on XBLA.

Edit: it's kind of cheesy i know. But incredibly fun nonetheless

yeh i built my computer in 2003 and it was 2009 before a game came out that i absolutely could not play. things weren't pretty, but they still worked.

i think the difference is okay like say you buy a console when it's new. the games that come out for it look kind of shitty and aren't as good as pc games. as the console ages, developers figure out ways to make games look better given the hardware they're stuck with.

it's opposite with pc games, devs make games for whatever is out there, so over the life of any given pc, the games start out looking fantastic and get slowly shittier as your parts age.

it's the same thing really in reverse order.

so

what haldermaniac said.

shut up and play what you like.

That game..... So good. It can be plowed through by even shitty gamers like me, but at the same time, doesn't fail to give an enriching experience. Solid gameplay, grand story, excellent voice acting... Not to mention "force storm". I even loved part 2, despite it being incomplete.

woah check this out: http://knightsoftheoldrepublic.filefront.com/file/;115177

i never played the second one due to those very criticisms...i do not like incomplete games :p

so this update seems to rectify that? youll have to let me know how it goes
