ya its not so great, but mp totally makes up for it
[quote name='Dasflikko']Thursdays only works for me, two days a week was a great run while it lasted!

However if we get 4-6 people that want to play RFG on Monday to do pubs, that would be pretty radical too.[/QUOTE]
ya i still say we reserve mon and thurs for gaming with our group of peeps here, whichever game they choose to play

I get what you're trying to say, but I didn't say "BBC2 as a whole sucks more ass..." I said the single player specifically. Nothing can make the single player better.

I heard Chicken Tacos can temporarily make it better.

And if Metaly makes them and hand delivers then I've heard the whole campaign is decent. :cool:
 
I'm gonna have to agree, BFBC2's story is okay, but I personally liked BFBC1's story better. It's kind of like the Robocop movies... Robo 1 was magical, Robo 2 was just... okay.
I actually like BFBC2's multiplayer better than the first though. ;)
 
A lot of my dislike is the way it feels so rushed. The characters are the same as the first, but they don't feel the same. Either Haggard was on some pretty great uppers during the first or was on some crazy downers in the second. That, plus it was really dumbed down, no auto injector, no helicopter, no wrench, ridiculously linear levels, about 90% less dialog than the first (and the dialog that they did have was no where near the caliber of the first), probably a fourth of the length of the first, the demolition feels fake, teammate AI seems worse than the first (though I may be remembering wrong), etc, etc.

Was it fun? I played it through, all
 
If you're playing Battlefield games for the single-player making Battlefield games with single-player, fuck you.

That would be like if they made a Bioshock game with deathmatch!
 
Oh, and I'm also up from some BFBC2. If there are still peeps who want to play RFG, I'll probably play that first and join BFBC2 later on.

EDIT: ^^^ Scccaarryy :shock:
 
Ahhh, totally understandable.

Not to derail the awesome conversation going on, but who is really hoping RDR online is like GTAIV's but in the old west. Supposedly next week is when they'll start announcing how the multiplayer is going to be handled.

The whole fucking thing makes me want to vomit. Bleah.

Anyway, I'm mostly enjoying Just Cause 2. I'm 10 hours in and I've only completed 4% of the game, which is insane and awesome. I haven't really captured any videos, though. I selected "turn capture on" and it cocked up the rest of my audio/video/control settings. I put everything back on default and left it there. Is there something I'm missing?

I wish the guards were a little less persistent...it seems like the enemy AI just sends wave after wave of dudes to kill me and I'm sort of wishing they'd give up a little more quickly.

Buying a new gun for $30,000 every time I run out of ammo is bullshit, as well.

Also, JC2 easily has some of the ugliest cutscenes and the worst voice acting in modern gaming. Seriously, why does the Asian leader of the Reapers look Native American and sound Jamaican?
 
@randy you can leave capture on, the settings bug is separate and happens rarely. and ya the enemies are a lil annoying. i just jack a chopper and fly around for a sec to get rid of the alarm. go for headshots to save ammo. if youre on normal difficulty, you have tons of time to aim your shots b4 they start hitting you.

really sucks that RDR is coming out right before i leave. you all probably wont be playing it anymore by the time i get back in november :(
 
I could care less about the whole thing... like the movie says, whatever works. If dolls make his life more bearable, then... whatever works.

Video capture is a little buggy right now. I could capture and upload without a hitch for a few days, now half (or more) of the time it "freezes" the game when it's supposed to ask for Youtube login info. Hopefully a patch comes along to fix it. The "audio/video/control" thing is another bug that is hopefully fixed as well. Do you get how it's supposed to work?

Guards are a dick. I started messing around with a helicopter, blowing up a humvee and set of guards standing around a refueling station. I fought off an enemy helicopter and when I turned around, the humvee and set of guards were back, unharmed.

There are locations where you can pick up guns without paying. Dead enemies, military strongholds, random spots (there's one spot that has a rocket launcher that never goes away... think about that time zen hosted and forgot to turn off "Weapon respawn: Always"), the area from the demo, but the Reaper faction headquarters is the one I use most (simply because it's near where I've been spending a lot of my time so far), it has a pistol, smg, shotgun, assault rifle, and grenades. I used the black market to buy a sniper rifle, once. :lol: Also, I'm fairly certain that, as long as they're not empty when a faction takes over, the ammo crates in faction strongholds are persistent. Though if they are empty when a takeover occurs, they disappear forever.
I guess utilizing those can slow the game down, but, for me, if I'm in a situation where I need ammo NOW (mission or 100%ing a military base or something) there is usually enough dead enemies (even if I have to use a weapon I'm not used to) and ammo crates around. If I'm just 100%ing a town or something, it takes an extra 10 minutes to extract to somewhere that has ammo crates and extract back.
Go for headshots and if someone is up high, pull him off with your grapple. If someone is alone, grapple him to something and then melee him, if it's just two people, grapple them together then melee.

The engine definitely isn't the best for cutscenes. It seems it has issues with displaying a lot of "up close" detail.

She used to be my absolute most hated thing about the game, but I've made a minigame out of predicting which words she's going to use that ridiculous inflection on and it's sort of entertaining.

I swear this wasn't there before... My rule, if someone's made a post, I don't edit without making it obvious. :lol:

But, if it is as good as I'm hoping (yeah right) we could be. We played GTA for over a year (or so, wasn't there a break somewhere in there) and we're three months away from RFG's year.
 
Haha, I don't take JC2 seriously AT ALL so the horribly campy voice acting just adds to the charm of the game for me.

It is pretty fun playing as Al Pacino as Tony Montana as Rico Rodriguez as Scorpio in Just Cause 2: The Game.
 
Good timing, I was running out of games to play. :bomb: The trailer looks good, at least. I miss the sketchy art style but I'm guessing they went back to it in Last Window.

I just ordered Picross 3D yesterday, too. At least that's not out till May.
 
The official RFG twitter has it that the $5 copies are arriving today. Should we give the new meat some time to toughen up or should we enjoy our meal before the rest of the surviving RFG predators get to them?

hope so.
and no that wasn't there before, but i added it like 10 sec after posting (hence doesn't show an edit :p), so you must have gotten in there quick.
 
Those some manly tears behind that LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL?

I'm definitely not directing attention away from me... *sniff*
 
I had fun tonight... oddly, I think I'm starting to really get the hang of the multiplayer, since I've really struggled to get kills in the previous BFBC. ;)
 
You were doing well tonight, Freaky. It's frustrating that we can't communicate with you, though. :cry:

In other news, I'm seriously considering getting a DSi XL this week.

No.


and tons of fun with you all tonight. everyone who doesnt have skype needs to GET IT NOW!!!!! so we can ALL communicate. skype supports up to 25 people, so thats plenty. dont care what you gotta do, get it. will be so much more fun. run a 50 foot usb cable extension to your computer, buy a slim psp, buy a phone that supports skype.. whatever it takes >:)

twitter peeps: who saw my epic fail takeoff vid from jc2? hehe

Definitely wait on that DSi XL since the 3DS is coming out within a year. Plus there's all that fuss about DSi-ware games being non-transferrable. It would suck if you got a DSi, decided you wanted a 3DS, and there was still no way to transfer them to the new system.

I have to admit I've been interested in a few of the downloadable games, but the DSi as-is is a tough sell for me. Also no GBA slot = no Arkanoid paddle. :cold:
