Bump...

I replied in your threads, last time I posted I forgot to mention that I added all my Splinter Cell console games since I bought the Splinter Cell pack on Steam ;)
 
No exaggeration, that's maybe 5% of what I have. A lot of those I bought off a friend who wanted to sell his entire collection cause he's gonna have a kid, so stuff I wasn't into or already had, I'm trying to trade. Need to find a good home for these guys.
 
Isac clarke now talks and ther's 2 people sending him mixed messages thruout the game. "listen to me not her, she's lying" "no he's the one lying not me" type of BS.

Then the typical "Isaac, i forgot to tell you, whatever you do don't go into *KKKKK* *static*".........

basically it seems like you plod along, listen to some BS, shoot some Monsters, repeat.

they seem to have taken the fun and fright out of the game and just turned it into a c+ shooter. MHOP.

but Twztid loved it so what do i know ; )

to be fair, though, when i played the 1st chapter of part 1, i was inundated with new games to play on my new system (probably 20 of the top 360 & ps3 games still to get to, so i was playing a little of each one). SO, point being, my playthrough of DS2 is probably exactly what you experienced in playing the original. the same corridors over & over in so many games games in the previous generation made me think that this gen would be full of new environments in every level. DS2 did exactly that, and didn't take away from my sense of lonliness and despair (since you're still visibly in the middle of the solar system, in outer space, even if not contained on the ship).

the things 5of9 mention as faults for DS2 were the same faults in DS1, like "Then the typical "Isaac, i forgot to tell you, whatever you do don't go into *KKKKK* *static*".........

basically it seems like you plod along, listen to some BS, shoot some Monsters, repeat."

i mean, that's what DS is.

i think it's an 'A' shooter, myself (which is what i liked most about both games). it feels like RE5 SHOULD have felt (RE4 being one of my top 5 games of last gen). heck, go read Gamespot's review on it. thay gave it an 8.5 (DS1 got a 9.0), but it's because it was TOO SIMILAR to DS1, & didn't differentiate enough to be AAA again.

like i said, this was basically my DS1 moment. i didn't play through that game, so it's hit every sweet spot for me (DS2 that is), that the original hit for everyone that played it when it first came out. PLUS, i did a media blackout on the game (like i do on most games that i'm already sold on), so everything that happened hit me like it was intended to. watching vids of boss fights, etc, can certainly take alot of the wind out of the sails of a game like this.

lastly, Visceral (at the behest of EA, no doubt) included a horrid (not good, even for a horror game, lol) multiplayer attempt. those resources would have been MUCH BETTER served using them on lengthening the campaign, or anything else, really.

it is definitely worth playing, because people who don't like it are definitely in the small minority, so you have a great chance of being in the majority & finding it to be a well directed game with fantastic controls, even if you just play it as a 3rd person shooter & ignore the story (like one of my best friends did that i talked into getting it after i started playing it and bragging on it).

i played on the ps3, btw (not that it matters, but i like the 360 demo better - for the controller, but graphis are usually better, too, cuz the 360 upscales all games to 1080p, but DS2 is one of the rising number of ps3 games in 1080p). it is the 1st game that i think the devs did a miraculous job on both platforms. they are as equal as i've ever seen in a multiplatform game. i commend Visceral for that, and it kind of makes up for them developing that heap of a GoW cash in, Dante's Inferno. kind of.
 
Thanks for the bumps everyone!

I've played a lot of games that match that description 5of9, they're not my favorite but there not horrible either:lol: I'll wait till the price goes down and then I'll probably buy DS2 but not the CE since I wanted a full scale replica.

I don't really play multiplayer that often unless it's on PC and I don't usually buy PC games that have DRM. I'll get it for the PS3 just for the single player game and see if I like it. I never really compare how games look on different consoles since the PC always looks better to me anyway, I like KB/ M controls better than a controller as well;)
 
Hahaha, I knew you'd be the one to comment on that.

You have any vintage Star Wars stuff in those boxes? Or other vintage toys? Boxed or carded is what I'm interested in.

plus the ps3 version comes with DS Extraction on the disc (remastered in HD from the Wii original). great fun with the Move, or without. it got me very interested in the lore of the DS universe. i'll save you the time by not typing out how awesome it is, lol.

btw, i had to put my resolution on 720p for the new pc on my tv. 1080p and better, while great, makes everything tiny. not being able to stream in HD (only 1.7meg d/l speed) brings out the glaring flaws of the sd stuff i watch through the pc. loving it so far, but pretty barebones atm. gotta get my programs out of storage (& hope they work on 64bit OS).

went back to the laptop yesterday to get some codes, and it was ungodly slow. slower than i remember, since this pc has me spoiled now (for internet purposes, of course).

Yup, I couldn't resist;)

I have open vintage Star Wars figures at the end of my list and I had a lot of other stuff but I traded/ sold it a while ago. I was a kid when Star Wars toys came out so I opened everything of course:lol: I know where I can get some sealed vintage figures near me but I think they are way too expensive.
 
I read the first marvel zombies. i thought the first mini-series was ok but not enough to look into any of the others.
 
Mostly just bummed around while the power was off. Slept a lot and then ended up staying awake till 4:30 in the morning after I got power restored.

Band is called skinkrawl. Played with Machine Head on the Through the Ashes of Empires tour.
 
I haven't played Mario Kart in quite awhile. I actually haven't even played my Wii in forever. I've got such a backlog of games on PS3 and 360 right now, plus some from the last couple generations I missed out on while playing in the band and running a music venue.
 
Bump...

The time seems to just fly by, I was a little busy since the main water line going into my house decided now would be a good time to leak:bomb: Luckily I have insurance so it should be taken care of this coming week, in the meantime there is a hose supplying all my water needs#-o
 
Into the online gaming? I haven't ever really gotten into it too much. Playing games has usually been a singular thing for me since I was a kid. I like the escape of it, not to be reminded how many retards there are in the world, which online can be quite the refresher course in.
 
bumpity.

got some questions for you, if you don't mind, lol. minor, but need more details before i bug you about it. hopefully you'll be on tomorrow or thursday.

Not really, I used to play Delta Force and Counter-strike and I tried the original AvP and Unreal tournament. I started playing again last year since now I have FIOS and I don't have to see my character move like a cheap stop motion animation:lol: So far I've only played maybe a dozen games and I prefer coop over free for all games. I had a large family growing up so I always played multiplayer even when it was only PONG and Atari games:cool: I try not to play with too many people online since I know what you mean about retards, I usually have to play with my sound off to endure the kids playing shooters.

I don't mind, but I seem to have missed you today:cry: Since PSN is down just send me a PM and I'll try to get back to you tomorrow. My water is still messed up and it just happened that yesterday and today were a springtime heatwave:hot: The rug I had installed recently is falling apart too so I end up having to make a bunch of phone calls when I get home since the various people I call never call back.
 
I played straight through RDR and then went back and finished New Vegas. I had gotten bored with it and stopped playing close to the end, so I figured I might as well polish it off. I started Demons Souls but I'm not digging it so far.
 
bump

that SUCKS on the water leak. i have had to go 2-3 days w/o water in these apartments. whats with the rug?

the avatar is a Reel Life Productions record label insignia (my favorite rapper in detroit, Esham's record label). it's "the devil in the moon" (yes it's supposed to look like he has a crystal ball), but it would take 15 years worth of music for me to explain its connotation.
 
Bump...

I was wondering how you beat two long games so fast skinkrawl :lol:

Nooo! you were on so I sent you a PM twztid and as soon as I sent it it says that now you're offline :whistle2:(
 
BTW i mostly catch x-play just to see what Sessler has to say about stuff. If he's geeked out about a game i ttust it's good and vice versa. if he hates it, it sucks.

Adam Sessler is still on!!! Damn he must be around 40 by now, I think last time I watched Morgan Webb was pointing out that she had boobs too when adam was admiring a character too much:lol: I don't usually trust reviews by people that have been on too long, did you ever see a cartoon called "the critic" ?

Thanks for the link, I'll probably need it too... maybe:cool:

Yeah, that's mainly what I've used so far.

The thing that gets me is that I start trucking along and get too confident and then get killed by some random new guy I shouldn't have gone after, and then I don't want to work my way back there. I hate having to play through the same part again.

Once you beat the first boss the game opens up a lot and you get more choices about where to go next, so if you get stuck in one spot or don't feel like going through a level you can just go to another. Where are you at now?
 
bump.

is a new/unopened TabulaRasa pc game worth anything? they had 2 at walmart on clearance for 20$. also, a psp 1000/2000 battery charger for 16$. package looked like it had been through some stuff so i passed.

windows 7 makes my pc run in 1080p flawlessly. XP looked terrible even when resizing everything. 7 did it with 2 clicks & it looks fantastic. my big test is itunes. i really hope it works cuz i'm wanting to keep my itouch (although some cash would be good too, lol).
