Guess I'll dig the Orange Box back out then. Was looking for a super short game to bridge the gap between Re: CoM and RE Revelations, so Portal sounds like just the thing.

Yes, that's what I mean. I have another week?

Yup. That 1-week "deadline" is not a strictly-enforced rule--as long as they get the game and process it within 25 days after when you initiated the trade-in, you don't have to worry about the trade expiring. I consider 14 days after initialization to be almost the latest you could send something in (though I think I've sent in something 16 days later and still had it successfully processed), but it really depends on the distance between you and where you're sending the trade.

Oh cool, well I'll be a little more patient then and wait for BB to get on the ball.

 
Damn it, I missed getting in on a resell for Battle Princess of Arcadia.

But it looks like Pancakes and Yanks are the two who got the resells.  They both like me I think.  I'm pretty sure one of them would let me rent it from them or just buy their resell when they're finished with it.

Why do you want resells? Just to get your money back? If it's for the space, the game is only 1GB. I usually go for resells so that I don't have to clutter up the hdd (I only have 120gb), but for smaller games I'll happily take the cheaper version.

I'm not sure I'm totally comfortable with the concept of phantoms. For now I'm just trying to stick with resells or renting.

Yeah it doesn't bother me when people point out terrible/hilarious puns like, it's usually done ironically anyway.

I also didn't know Reznor had done a 3rd movie, had to look it up. Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. I haven't seen it yet.

 
Gotham - ep3

"The Balloonman" kills with Ballons lol

If the Duck Dynasty game doesn't end with them all around the dinner table saying "We just want to say thank you lord Jesus this game is finally over." then I will be even more disappointed.

Of course the only redeeming quality behind the game is skippable cutscenes so I would probably just skip the prayer scene anyways.

BTW, odd timing what with the Fat Princess sale going right now, but if you play Fat Princess on iOS to level 15 you'll get a free PS3 Fat Princess code.

http://appadvice.com/appnn/2014/10/get-a-free-voucher-for-fat-princess-on-ps3-by-playing-its-piece-of-cake-game-on-ios

I wouldn't mind giving FP a try despite the dead MP, but I don't have iOS. Oh well.

Edit: Sounds like it takes about an hour to get to level 15.

Edit2: Nice, the Android version also gives you the same PS3 voucher.

I'm all over that shit. Almost bought it multiple times. Let me know if anyone wants to give the MP a go.

It's weird how much of a giant fuck you Jak 2 is to fans of the first. The horrendous driving controls, the majority of missions requiring driving of some kind (not just traveling to and from the missions which is another issue), the poor gun play, the numerous escort missions, the never-ending guards that get triggered at the slightest bump...

I thought the vehicle parts of the first game were the worst parts of it. Maybe back when it came out people loved that aspect and that's why Naughty Dog made it the biggest part of Jak 2? Not sure. I don't really understand their motivation for completely transforming the game style from Jak 1 to Jak 2 the way they did. Somebody suggested they were patterning it after GTA, but that'd be an odd motivation when Jak1 did quite well on its own and changing the style can only disappoint fans of the first.

Wait... didnt you say you liked it when you first started playing it and the rest of us were not surprised you were the only one to like it? I would have sworn that happened....

 
Some delusional part of my brain thought Giana Sisters was playable on Vita, but since it's PS3-only, I'm less inclined to get it right now since I feel more comfortable playing platformers on Vita. :whistle2:k

 
So, a glimpse around the hours poured into Destiny makes me think I haven't played it as much. I have 71 hours in. I'll switch soon to Warlock, because man is the hunter the most trash class of the three.

I'm really proud of you continuing to narrate your trek through the duck dynasty game even though not a soul has commented on it. I call that maneuver "let's fishing".
 
i'v spent the day looking at ploy summaries etc for The Evil Within and I still have no idea what is going on

Evil Within update: I'm up to chapter 10 and have been loving every minute now. Now that my pistol is updated quite a bit combat is fun. Lots of different and fun environments. And I've only used stealth like once in the past 4 chapters (because I just happened across an enemy staring at a wall). The game really does make a bad first impression by making you so helpless and forcing you to use one of the most annoying game cameras in recent memory (too close and forced widescreen). But eventually you get used to it and start to appreciate the twisted environments/enemies. I could definitely see me doing New Game + down the line.


And Gotham is okay so far. The cast is really good but the cases from week to week are pretty hit and miss. And its really weird that Gordon is going to Bruce Waynes house like every week to talk about light overcoming darkness and whatnot. Also it seems like all of the Batman villains are like a week away from becoming costumed supervillains. Aren't we at least like 10 years away from Batman showing up?

Nope. I made some comments 2-3 hours in about the gameplay at that point, but I never went anywhere near saying I liked it. In fact somebody responded to my comments with that same assumption and I corrected them at the time, too. IIRC I said that (at that point) it didn't play all that different from Jak 1, which is true. At the beginning of the game there's more exploration and killing stuff like with the first game, only you have a gun as well. It's only when you get further in that the travel and driving and gunplay and missions become a lot more of an issue.

I tried to search the thread for the comments but for some reason CAG is always like a month behind on search content. The most recent "Daxter" it finds is from September 5. Not sure why that is.

I played the demo ages ago and hated it, I remember it being a cluster fuck with so many people thrown on a narrow battlefield that you couldn't make much headway.

Come on Best Buy! Add Evil Within! My Amazon $44 trade in expires today. I'm pretty sure I'll be able to get $44 when Best Buy adds it to their Trade-In list, but it would be nice to actually be sure! I know I traded in Shadow of Mordor the Saturday after I bought it, why the fuck isn't Evil Within up yet?

Probably waiting to decide how they want to price it since reviews have been so mixed. They don't want to pay top dollar for something that is just going to sit on their shelves.

I haven't logged as many hours, but I'm playing with a hunter right now. Should I just restart with a titan or warlock? What's wrong with the Hunter?

I thought that was actually pretty horrifying. You slowly rise to your doom and there is nothing you can do about it. Temperature dropping and air thinning as you struggle to breath. Though its a moot point since one weather balloon can't lift a person.

There's nothing wrong with the Hunter. But he's definitely not as much fun as the other two I think. The supers are kind of lame, I don't like any of the grenades. The only thing I do like about the hunter is the triple jump.

Seriously, you thought I would let you use it?

Why are you still reading Tyler? I said no.

You can actually use my slot before I do. I probably won't play the game for awhile

Gordon seems to be a role model for Bruce and since Alfred is worried about him, he likely wants Gordon around.

And no Batman villain is even close to becoming who they are in the comics. Penguin is the only one doing "villainous" shit and he's at the very bottom of the totem pole.
 
breakfuss said:
Well, that was more or less directed at anyone who has access to Portal 1. If you don't have a PC or own Orange Box on either console (rare now?) then, sure, just play Portal 2. No need to skip it otherwise. I think it enhances the story. And it's super short.

I also saw Gone Girl last weekend. Typical Fincher fare so if you're a fan you'll like it. Everyone played the hell out of their roles (even Madea...). And, yeah, like @elder mentioned the soundtrack is really good. This makes it 3 for 3 for them now where they NAILED (see what I did?) it.

Hasn't the first Portal been free on steam like 100 times by now? And I'm pretty sure it could probably run on an Apple II.

I'm hoping that the show does some sort of time jump. If we're waiting around for these villains to turn into what we expect, the show is going to have to run for like 10 years before we get to that point.

If you are into PvP, Hunter is neck and neck with Warlock as op. But in PvE, it is at the bottom of classes. No redeeming quality whatsoever. I'm going as Warlock with Sunsinger, since you can dominate in PvE and PvP with it. Hunter skill tree is worthless and moreso if you are into PvE.
 
I had the pretzel crust pizza from Little Caesar's today. It was actually pretty great, especially for $6. I also picked up Assassin's Creed II at Kmart for $4. I already have it on 360, but it's a great game, plus trophies. I passed on Arkham Asylum GOTY for $8. I regret it a little bit, even though I just got it with PS Plus. It would've been nice to have all the DLC. I may get it later.

I also Halloween-spirit-impulse-bought RDR Undead Nightmare for $15. Not my most thrifty moment, but it felt right.

I haven't watched Gotham or Smallville, but I have to imagine that basically the entire series will be a slow burn towards their eventual characters. I'm just not a big enough fan to put up with it.

I'm assuming OP means overpowered? How so? Let me know how to take advantage because my K/D in PvP is pretty shitty, lol.

Yeah, I'm not a fan of the grenades I have, thought maybe it was just a low level thing. But that sucks if they don't ever get better.

It's a cop show set in Gotham, not a show about Batman. The references are there as a gimmick to differentiate themselves from other cop shows. You shouldn't be waiting around for the villains to become who they are in the comics.
 
Kind of funny to see hunters hated in this thread when they are regarded as the best in PVP on destiny forums lol. And as far as PVE goes both classes fair well. Raid wise only the gunslinger has a role.

If there is one class that has a general view of being the worst in destiny its the titan. Especially the striker titan.

Im going to make one of each regardless.

Not sure why I'm spoiling this, but I actually probably won't play it any time soon either. That's why I can't justify $8 for it. And thanks!

Yep, that's how I got it. They give it away all the time. And like you said it doesn't take much to run it. Also has Steam achievements for those who care. Not sure why they never patched them in for Orange Box on PS3.

As for the hunter, I think it's the best PvP class. Only had it for a day and already got my best crucible score. That bladedancer shit bodies everything in its vicinity, lol. So freaking overpowered. Its grenades are definitely weak, though. I still prefer my warlock (sunsinger) for everything else.
