Nah, WoW is good fun. I've had a lot of fun in MMOs, and the people, experiences, and stories that have come out of it are nothing I would ever regret.
 
New Strider better be bad ass.

Spent the last 4 hours fixing my Vista install. X_X I lost a Warhead install. . . :cry:

At least I got some T5DR in while I did that. ;)
 
Let me tell you what's wrong with the Tomb Raider: Underworld game. And it pretty much means it should be ignored by all. The camera sucks.
 
[quote name='hankmecrankme']Plus Tomb Raider Underworld, unless I'm late to the party.[/quote]

it came out yesterday i got it but fell asleep while it was downloading :lol:
 
[quote name='Nelo Ice']i just got to 50% :cry:[/QUOTE]

My internet isn't as fast as some like Comcast, just 8 Mbps down and 512 Kbps up. But I'm pretty much alone on the network, no heavy users, no HDTVs, no DVRs. So the network has no congestion. :)

Country livin' FTW!!
 
im on att and according to the speakeasy test my down speed is 2.5 >_> damn i miss my cable internet at home...and being directly connected to the router/modem which were both in my room
and im at my cousins house using my laptop as a bridge

anyway hows the game?
 
Just finished the Banjo demo and...I'm not entirely impressed. Looks great, music's good, but I must digress my biggest complaint: The controls. They're loose as hell. It might just be the earlier vehicles, but it's just slick. If you land a big jump, you're going to spin out. You also have to REPEATEDLY press the B button to float across water. What the hell?

That being said, near the end of the demo, it felt sort of comfortable. Not entirely. I had to build my own vehicle to beat a challenge. And I barely beat that challenge because I ran out of Egg Gun ammo.
 
so i looks like I might not be able to afford fallout 3 and gears 2... only one. so I'm going to do what my dad does and play fallout 3 on his PC if you get my gist.

he's currently playing far cry 2 and can't decide if he likes the game or not since he hates driving in games.
 
I popped in GTA:SA yesterday to check out fake Vegas. How did we ever put up with games that were that ugly?

[quote name='zewone']Dead Space looks absolutely ridiculous on my new TV. :drool:[/QUOTE]
Pics?

Good gameplay.
 
[quote name='RelentlessRolento']yeah, GTA was always ugly (except GTAIV) but the gameplay is what held it up along with some of the strongest humor on the market.[/quote]

I've never really cared for the GTA franchise as a whole, but San Andreas just really pulled me in. I was hoping 4 would be a continuation of that, but I was let down. Then I got into Crackdown and I realize that's what I wanted GTA IV to be.
 
[quote name='Dr Mario Kart']If only VATS allowed AP based movement, then it could actually be played turn based. VATS as it stands is just a time freeze power.

You absolutely cannot play Fallout 3 turn based.[/QUOTE]

Why would you want to?
 
Going on CAG from school = ultimate win. This is the biggest joke class of my life...30 Rock Season 2 tonight! Gotta finish it alll before Season 3 starts Thursday.

I was kinda hoping Banjo and Kablooie would be good, but the demo is pretty meh. :cry:
 
[quote name='corrosivefrost']Why would you want to?[/QUOTE]

I second that, I fucking hate turn based combat. I could never play another turn based game, Mass Effect killed it for me, along with Oblivion. For now on it's only RPGs with real time combat for me.

No gaming lately for me as I'm swamped with academic Job interviews this week. Was out of town Saturday through Tuesday for one, and will be gone from Tomorrow through Saturday for another. Maybe I'll get some Sonic Rush in sometime as I still need to start it. I was busy preparing on my flight down for the first interview and too tired to game on the flight back.
 
[quote name='Jesus_S_Preston']School is canceled for snowing so I am home playing Rock Band Part Deux.[/quote]
Huh? Where do you live? I'm going to miss not having snow days anymore. I think waking up and not getting ready, just praying that the news channel will give you good news, and finally seeing your school listed is one of the best feelings in the world.

[quote name='Azumangaman']Yeah, I clicked the wrong button :)But srsly, 30 Rock is on Thursday at 9:30. Best Show. EVER.[/quote]


I know it's good, but to say it 2x?

:whistle2:s


Also, the premiere has been on Hulu.com since last Friday(?)


I already watched it...


It's still VERY funny and full of continutiy


Also Banjo stinks, no matter what game/system
 
Ooo. Banjo and TR demos out? Rats, was too busy playing Fable II to notice. >_<

I'm on the fence w/Banjo and it's starting to sound like I might be able skip it. Oh well, I'll try and DL it tonight to see for myself.

::head asplode::

If it didnt carry the Fallout name, I wouldnt care at all. I could just dismiss it as another shooter. It just bothers me to see old franchises getting disserviced in this way.

Shooters, and multiplayer action (in the case of RPGs), are infecting everything. Every RPG dev wants to be Tri-Ace now. Its mostly team based action-rpg, with Square-Enix leading the charge. Pure turn based is vanishing at a frightening speed.
 
Banjo was amusing, but I didn't take it seriously.

I was playing the TRU demo when my power blinked for a bit. Shut everything off, but it came back quick enough so my 360 still had power, and it had the RRoD. I was pissed. Then I shut it off and turned it back on and it's fine now, for the time being that is. I'm guessing that's just an omen of what's to come.

I've been waiting for it for it to happen, and it's probably going to die right before or during GoW1.

Persona 4 comes out in about a month.
 
Been playing zelda: TP on wii lately since that is what gamefly shipped me (oddly it was oon the bottom of my list) Got midnight club from them also but just couldn't get into it. The difficulty was through the roof and just don't have the paitence for that kind of game atm.

Going to download the Banjo demo hoping it is somewhat good (doubtful from what everyone has said so far). Might just get the original off of xbox live when it hits if the new one does flop.

As long as the game is good, who cares?

Anyway, Dynasty Warriors Strikeforce is looking quite awesome:

Anyway, I'd like to state something that might grab your attention... this game is completely different from the ordinary Dynasty Warriors series. Let's start with a few basics. You can equip your primary and secondary weapons based on what you will. For example, if you want Sun Shang Xiang having a spear, then her moves will instantly change to Zhao Yun's, if the weapon is switched to the spear using the circle button. The more often you use the weapon, the more experience you will gain from that and so you will get a attack boost, as you do in these games.

In the demo version, you're able to choose between the spear, bow, staff, club or halberd. Your moves will vary based on what you equip. You're able to choose the armor you want to equip on your LEFT HAND, RIGHT HAND, LEFT FOOT and RIGHT FOOT. Let's say if you equip a FIRE element onto your left hand and recovery on your right hand, you'll have the fire attack and also then able to heal yourself. In the video, we equipped the "float" and "double jump" on Sun Shang Xiang's foot armors, that means she can perform a double jump and even fly. So it really depends on what and how you customize your characters. It can all make a difference from whats been shown and more importantly suit your play style.

The game control system has changed, unlike the past Warriors series, and the gameplay has a big improvement in some aspects. Now the game is more to the strategic side of things, for example, you can close a tiger cave to avoid tigers coming out and eating your flesh! There are also plenty of missions for you to spend your time over. Also another neat element is that the items that drop on the battlefield are no longer executed instantly. You can collect your items and execute them when you want to.
 
Persona's infection comes in the form of AI controlled teammates, which has always been a disease. I'm still at the every end of Persona 1, so with some luck I'll never get around to 3.
