Re: The Bill's Now Playing Video Game Thread (Now with Bames
Well now. Threw Battlefield 3 on the old PS3. Maybe it's because I've been looking at a game from 1998 as of late, but it is damn fine looking. I've been reading all this shit about how it was just on par with any other average console game. Bullshit, it's up there with Crysis and Killzone and such. .And maybe it's because I've been playing a game from 1998 as of late, but the actual game play is uninspired and slightly boring. Fucking modern shooting gallery FPS suck compared to proper corridor FPS. I said it.
So, I turned that game off, and put Shogo back on. Happily, the game decided to reward me with being able to shoot a little Japanese school girl in the face with an Uzi until her body exploded and her backpack got stuck into a wall with a pool of blood coagulating all around it. It was a no nothing scenario in the scheme of things, but having some shit like that in a console game now a days would have had some kind of media hoopla, I'm sure.

if there's anybody in the world who'd be fucking unobservant enough to actually damage themselves with trap-soap I guess it'd be the guy with dialup in 2007

Oddly enough vampires don't bother me (in video games, that is) since I can't really recall ever playing a game where I fight any aside from Castlevania and Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines. Now, zombies get the old from me now. Poor mummies get no love.

I can't see myself going back to that game, DLC or not.Pisscubes wrote:Haha-- even the PS3 Exclusive dicks suck Colin Moriarty over at IGN gave the new Infamous DLC a 7.5
Hey guys-- it's got VAMPIRES in it! And is barely over an hour for ten bucks!

Re: The Bill's Now Playing Video Game Thread (Now with Bames
It wasn't a huge disappointment for me or anything, I just thought it suffered from some of the typical things that I usually hate about sandbox games. Mostly the endlessly plodding storyline that seems to be going nowhere. The first one was just far better written. I think the only thing I liked better about the I2 story was that Zeke somehow isn't an irritating fuckwit in every scene he's in anymore. But that "HEY LOOK AT ME I'M FROM DE BAYOU MON" chick made up for that three times over.Pisscubes wrote: It was a huge disappointment for me. I sold it pretty quick after I beat it. While there were a couple things better than the original in terms of control, over-all, I think the first one is a much more fun game and I don't get why so many people think 2 is vastly superior to one. Just one man's opinion.
Plus the way the game just seemed to ramp up the difficulty by throwing bigger and bigger mobs of enemies at you, and recycling its bosses as minibosses. That's just lazy design.

Re: The Bill's Now Playing Video Game Thread (Now with Bames
Yeah, I forgot about both of those things... especially the mini boss battles, they just weren't any fun. And QTEs? Bleh.Pisscubes wrote: And they were really annoying, time-consuming mini-bosses that I was sick of after the first time I fought them. And the upgrade system sucked compared to the first one which was quick and easy.
Like I said, I didn't hate it or anything, but when I finished the first one, I started my second playthrough like five minutes later, and this one I haven't even touched since.

I never played the full game, just the demo, but I dare say there's probably mummies in this one:

it's doom, but KING RAMSES THE 2ND or something talks to you a bunch and you kill everything.
demonoid didn't have it so i fell asleep last night. I WILL FIND THAT GAME SOMEWHERE. and hope that it doesn't suck compared to my view of it as a 10 year old.

Re: The Bill's Now Playing Video Game Thread (Now with Bames
Yeah, I picked up Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines super cheap. I probably still have it on disk somewhere, but I like to get these games off steam for prosperity sake. Especially since Geoff reminded my of it last week.Wormholegenerator wrote:http://store.steampowered.com/sale/scary_sale_2011
I forgot Shogo has multiple endings, and different levels depending on a certain choice later on. Well, I do believe I'm playing to an ending I didn't see back in the day, so that's good. I also think I'm mere minutes away from beating it, and that's even better.

Re: The Bill's Now Playing Video Game Thread (Now with Bames
i beat it a few nights ago; i wasn't wowed honestly. it was fun and there were a few good moments; a few surprise bosses and decent level design. i'd give it like a 7.5 probably. flying around the city was the best part of the game for sure.doomeddisciple wrote:How are you liking Batman thus far?

Re: The Bill's Now Playing Video Game Thread (Now with Bames
they did make little improvements that i like and there were great moments
but i'm just not that interested in playing it anymore and toward the end i was ready to quit playing it before even beating it because it just sort of got so samey

Found myself playing modern warfare 2 the other night and realised I'd be getting modern warfare 3.

Gonna hook up the old NES and try to beat Super Mario Bros this weekend.
Sucks that I was much more talented at this shit over 20 years ago than I can even wish to be now.
