Video Games What video games are you currently playing?

It's a mixed bag. The customizable weapons are a blast and combat can be fun. But the story and voice acting is shit and the controls feel horrible. Every time I launch it to try and get into it again, I walk a few meters and lose all interest because of the floaty, slow movement controls. It's only €10 on Steam at the moment though...

Rage is a perfect example of everything that's wrong with many of today's videogames.

It's kinda similar to Borderlands. Same setting, vehicles, hub world etc. It's very nice to look at, but it's nowhere near as charming as Borderlands and I didn't really have fun playing it.

 

But yeah, it's pretty much just a generic shooter with a wasteland setting.

ah, thanks for the explanation.

 

 

I started playing Deus Ex HR.....i dunno if i should be playing this now, i must have died 10 times already and Im still on the first mission. Patience is key it would seem...i chose non-lethal means and im already regretting it :(

dead island is good because you can get a hammer and smash fuck out of some zombo fuckers mush but unfortunately its pretty shit :/ maybe co op is good i dno i played it so lo

the soundtrack for sleeping dogs is absolutely amazing

 

ninjatune/warp radio stations, so sick

 

game is possibly the most gorgeous cityscape ive ever played in

 

running it with everything on extreme with hd texture pack is drooooool

Yeah.. It's faily cheap now.

 

But I'm probably going to skip it, if it has horrible controls.

Has anyone played Dead Island... Is worth picking up?

 

There seem to very mixed reactions to this game.

 

Day Z is the Zombie game I thought Dead Island was going to be.

 

Dead Island is ok. Its fun but if you are not really into Hacking and slashing zombie you'll get tired of it sooner but if not sooner then once you beat the game and level up a bit more I doubt you'd ever go back to it.

thats kinda how i felt about Dead Island. ok, nothing amazing and once you beat it you might as well sell it cause youre never coming back to it.

ok, so Deus Ex HR....do I just suck at video games? why cant i fucking beat this first level?

 

 

ive played Splinter Cell and did alright at that one...for some reason sneaking in this seems fucking impossible

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF-

FUCKIN PLANES!!! WOOO

Aw yeah

 

*waits for someone to bitch about GTA being boring*

gta 4 gfx and animations + gta san andreas scope and ambition = total win

 

though it's all for naught if they decide to release it on current consoles, this game needs some tru pc power.

more info plx. what difficulty level are you playing at, and how do you keep failing?

 

did you say you went non-lethal? that makes it more difficult, naturally e.g. enemies can be revived by their fellows

 

i just get caught really quickly...i picked the long-range tranq rifle and the low ammo always puts me in a shady spot.

 

im playing on normal difficulty.

 

i think ill just restart the mission with a short range lethal weapon. fuck it. time to get real.

GTA is a boring horrible mindless mass shooter with....... AHHHHHHHHHHH not even i can joke about it. lol.

at first i thought that pic of the guy on the bike was a photograph, then i was all like "holy shit thats a game!" GTA has never let me down, and i highly doubt this one will be the first to do so. can't wait.

I haven't played Deus Ex, but if this is the first level at normal difficulty then it sounds like a bug. You should probably restart.

GTA only gets a little samey over time, but I wouldn't by any means hold that against a game with so much shit to do.

I finished playing through Crysis 2. What the fuck, why was the AI that shitty? I fucking had to redo the last battle because at first the "elite ceph" wouldn't even come after me if I uncloaked-- they'd just get stuck running at walls.

 

A re-load fixed it, but still, way to ruin an ending, crytek.

 

Was this just a console thing?

Any US/Canadian watmm folk picked up Persona 4 Arena? It's not out this side of the pond for another couple of weeks, seems to have positive reviews but just curious if anyone's been actively playing it yet and their thoughts...

Please no more hi def bowling missions!

They fucked up the AI bad. Seems a lot better now than when I first played the first quarter of the Crysis 2 early build leak campaign. I just started playing the campaign again because despite the weak AI, running around New York, with a nano suit, with really nice DirectX 11 graphics is pretty fun. They have said that Crysis 3's AI is focal point and that they will be making it feel a lot less linear like Crysis 1's open ended big vistas possibilities. Looks like they might get it right this time but I'm only cautiously optimistic.

not yet but i do plan on buying it. it looks amazing. if i get it sometime soon ill review it.

Just signed up to Playstation Plus and am starting with Dead Space 2. Haven't played the first one but quite enjoying this so far. The movement seems a bit rigid but I guess I'll get used to that.
