mass effect 3 demo - i'm not even going to torrent that shit when it's out.

I bought ME 1 and 2 and couldn't bother to finish either. I semi enjoyed the MP in ME3 but the SP was totally lame.

I beat Reckoning. Was a great game. Now I'm gonna do all of the faction side quests.

Just beat it too. I expected it to be a bit longer, but overall it was amazing. I hope there will be a sequel.

lol is the squad AI improved? (does it even have squads anymore? I've only played ME1)

The Squad AI in ME1 was ass. It was a lot better in ME2 because everything just worked faster. They reacted a lot faster to your commands and it seems as if it's even faster this time around. I love having my squad using their powers on enemies so I experimented with this quite a lot in the demo and I noticed that as soon as I gave the order and the pop-up menu collapsed the force power was well on its way towards the enemy.

They've added a roll maneuver though which I don't like at all. It just seems silly adding extreme action oriented maneuvers in a game like Mass Effect... but that's just me being a jerk on the internet.

Metal Gear Solid HD Collection.

 

I am in a complete state of euphoria.

 

Nice. Metal Gear Solid 3 might just be the best game ever made. It's up there anyway. Along side Final Fantasy 7.

 

Ahem.

There will be a sequel, there are rumours that the sequel will be an MMORPG. Reckoning was originally supposed to be an MMORPG, but they decided to turn it into a single player experience instead.

My current Reckoning stats:

Health 1039

Mana 396

Armor 1372

Great sword 186

Long sword 165

Shield blocks 57 dmg

I'm playing as a rogue so my stats are not so impressive.

Health 325

Mana 322

Armor 719

Faeblades 120

Longbow 187

I dont even have a shield

But I bet my character looks better than yours :p

Journey release date March 13 on PSN!!

Nice! Very excited for that game. The art style looks amazing. Although I wasn't to keen on the tilt controls of Flower and Flow, I loved those games.

Alan Wake finally got a PC release so I'm finally playing that. The writing is a bit shit and Alan Wake is an asshole but I'm enjoying the atmosphere so far.

Hell yeah !!

Played a bit of the new Dear Esther last night - my word has it improved .... Spent about 5 minutes just walking up and down the first shoreline watching the tide wash between the rocks and the sea spray, erm, spraying !

Finally! Been looking forward to this since the day they announced it - ThatGameCompany, along with Q-Games, makes some of the best games for PS3, hands down.

Demon Horns. Found them somewhere while doing House of Ballads quests I think. Quite good because they also have +15% chance to critical hit and +15% critical hit damage.

Just started playing Alan Wake myself. It isn't exactly what I expected, but it does compel me to play and the story is semi interesting.

Holy crap. I found the poisoned ones, Venom Fangs or something like that, in the Yolvan castle or whatever... lasted me a very long chunk of the game... those demon horns are sick though. 15% critical chance is nuts!

Got very little sleep last night and the Mass Effect 3 coop MP is to blame. Me and my good buddy played it for 7 hours straight. Can't wait to get a 4 man team training for the goal of crushing wave 11 on gold.

The gameplay gets a bit repetitive, but the story and the atmosphere is fucking phenomenal

lol

just got an email with some beta keys for tribes: ascend if anyone wants to check it out send a pm

This thread reminded me I had not completed the Alan Wake the signal DLC episode.

Pretty good. I'm probably going to buy The Writer episode tomorrow.

The Writer is definitely the best of the DLC. Pretty damn intense.

The Signal episode was better than the main game episodes.

So if the Writer is even better, then i'm sold.

The Writer is just a lot more dream/nightmare-like in the vein of Stephen King and David Lynch

i've been dicking around in the creation kit for skyrim. it's loads of fun. also, i'm close to finishing the main quest for the first time! it's really exciting!
