i brought battlefield bc2 today... i don't get it :( what's good about this game? playing online feels like i'm playing a dated shooter like call of duty 3. maps are too large to do find anybody, if you run around you get shot, if you stay around the same area you never see anybody. the only class that seems any good is sniper.

That's how I felt when I was first playing the multiplayer demo. Coming from MW2, the movement felt slow and restricted, and it was hard to notice enemies. The more I played it, the better it got, so that's my advice. Now I'm a madman at game. Always join a squad, when you die, you have the option to spawn off anyone in your squad(although it sucks when your mates are all shitty-ass snipers sitting in bushes on hills). Once you get used to the weapons and the feel of the game and learn how to move quickly and be aware of where the main focal points of action are, it can be a fantastic multiplayer experience.

P.S. use the spotting system, its one of the most important things you can do to be a good teammate.

Also, play on Hardcore

About 25 hours into Dragon Age. While I'm impressed that the game isn't over in eight hours, it's like two minutes of something interesting for every hour. I'm was trying to play as an evil, casteless dwarf and the reactions I'm getting out of people are equal to "Aww, that's not very nice!" I'm just playing as a 'whatever gets things done quickest' dwarf now. I've done the dwarf bit, done the elf bit and I'm currently losing my mind on that damn fade bit, shutting the game off every 20 minutes "that's it! fuck these mouse holes." One thing that's funny is they seem to have just run with sassy homosexual character idea. I should of kept tally of the Ferelden's poopoo eaters. And where's the phat loot at? I've hardly found anything fun.

After the first time the Fade sucked loads of penis. Funny how games keep drawing you back in like that...

Good man Hercules.

 

I just finished up Red Dead Redemption; great game but quite the timesink with very limited replay value.

How can a game be a timesink, but have limited replay value?

it does!

add me and we'll school them

Ok...was at the later half of the game Deadly Premonition but Xbox decided to one day give me the 3 flashing rings of death. Replaced the power block...xbox worked but gave me a present of a corrupt 250 gb hard drive. So, I'm going to move on to another game on another system while I wait for microsoft to exchange my hd out.

I would say basically all of what you can do in the game can be completed within one playthrough. There isn't much in the way of variety through the main story missions either nor are there any significant ways to alter the outcome of the story, which I can give a bit of leeway to considering the back story. As for the timesink part, it felt repetitive which could have made it feel longer than it should.

Hope that makes sense.

dragon age mother fuckers

Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past

Thought I'd finally give Grim Fandango a shot. So far I like it, nice art style.

The cut scenes are all choppy on my computer, so I have to watch them on youtube. :/

Whoa I made a pig's ear of my original post. The game isn't terrible and I'm glad there are still things like it on the PC. I blame The Fade rage. Once I stopped trying to keep a mental log of where I'd been/should go it became a lot less stressful. I'm heading for the generals at the end of the game now. Then I have the expansion.

Oh yeah, I love the shit out of Dragon Age myself it's just that the Fade was hella annoying as a rogue. It was a lot more bearable as a straight damage dealing mage however.

i thought the fade was awesome.

the fade was tedious. if it was shorter, then it would've been awesome.

and also, now playing minecraft! we should start a watmm server and build a castle in the shape of rdj's eyeballs.

noob

this is how i felt the game was treating me during that section: "LOL U ONLY HAVE MOUSE FORM, U HAVE TO GO TO DIFFERENT PLACE TO PROGRESS!!! --loading different section for five minutes-- LOL NOPE WRONG PART OF FADE, LOL TRY ANOTHER ONE!!! --loading different section for five minutes-- LOL U HAVE NEW FORM NOW, U ARE TEH FIRE MAN!!! U CAN GO THROUGH TEH FIRE AT THE PLACE YOU GOT MOUSE FORM!!! TIME FOR BACKTRACK!!! ROLFLMAOLOLOLOLOLOLOLJFKLA:JKFAL:JF:LSAJFLK:ASJ!!!!"

lol it didnt take me that long and i thought it was really fun. i didnt have a problem with the back tracking.. i knew thats what it was going to be like so i had it in my memory banks where to go back to and stuff.. so when i got the new abilities i went straight back and got it finished with.. there was never a problem where i was roaming around trying to find out where to go.. you can also just look at your map and see , oh theres the door i havent gone through yet..and 5 min load times? the fuck?

i thought it was a really neat little section and a neat change of pace from the style of gameplay up til that point... also running around as a golem smashing stuff is friggin fun i dont care what anyone says not even a noob like u
