The Bill's Now Playing Video Game Thread (Now with Bames)

[Cryptoplasty]

Is anyone NOT going to play Skyrim?

[Ghost Dad]

...

first world lost generation problems.

i'm going to grab the mgs set soon because i'm not sure i trust it to be hanging around in stores forever.

Why? I 100% need it, but not right now, so this is relevant to my interests.

[BroMan]

has anyone else noticed that the people who love the games are the people who are never posting in this thread otherwise ?

and broman, who loves every game ever

I don't love every game, I tend to make very good game purchases. Sometimes I'll get caught in the hype of something, like Dead Island (what a buggy waste of time). The games I do love such as the Dead Space series (still happy that I won the first game and I was sent concept art with it), Batman, etc are damn near the same stuff you guys like. I'll stick with what I've been saying AC: Revelations is going to be the best out of the series, even if the sci-fi elements are weak.
Anyway, glad to see I'm not alone on Saints Row. It's nice to play a game that doesn't take itself serious, compared to the tons of dead serious games.

i have a wii but i cant afford any fucking games for it.

Softmodding the Wii takes like 10 minutes and then you download any game from the Internet. Somewhere in the board in a Wii thread I posted the link with the instructions, or just google it.

yeah i did that already, fucking ruled! thanks for that link if i didnt say it in that thread already. i dont have a dvd burner or an external hd yet though so i cant play wii games until i get either one of those. it will happen eventually and i will be stoked!

[The Bill]

Amazon just sent me a notice that Metal Gear will be with me come next week. At this point it's become obvious I want to create some sort of Scrooge McDuck type gaming vault filled with games I need to play just so I can dive into and swim around in.

[ghost boner]

totally beat black ops. game rules.

also pissed that they're excluding MGS1 and the original Portable Ops in the bundle.

So ti got me to wonderin' that on top of your XBOX live account if you want to play this bullshit online they make you fork out more dollars. BATTLEFIELD BUX or something. I bought NHL12 there the other day too,

[Black Jacques]

LOL. You shouldn't be so upset squid... someone's replying to one of your posts!

[the awesome Assassin]

[ghost boner]

hey vern... did you play the secret mini game?

no i dont think so? after the credits it took me to a game of zombies but i didnt play it.


also way to try to rope me into a verning, schwaig. im too smart for that shit now.

[Spooky Apparition]

man, rayman is the shit. definitely going to get it at some point.

[ghost boner]

is it the zombies arcade? ive played that

[Necrometer]

I don't want to gum up the good vibes of the Skyrim thread because I am genuinely happy for (and jealous of) all those about to embark on glorious journeys. That said,

PC, medium settings

SPOILERSPOILER_SHOW

god frost is such a beaner piece of shit i can't stand it

I can't be the only one who looks at an image like this and sees revolting tacky bullshit, right? I'm not trying to claim the graphics are outdated or anything - I'm talking about aesthetic choices. The same shiny sheen of crap made it impossible for me to watch my girlfriend & friends play Oblivion without getting totally detached. It's neither realistic nor cinematic... rather it seems fully devoted to (or accepting of?) the fact that it looks like a game. This is not a ubiquitous problem - certain outstanding games overcome the challenge (Portal & Dead Space games, most "gritty" nowadays FPS, and the ultimate-of-all-time example: Shadow of the Colossus). Eh?

[BroMan]

Steam has been hacked! Go change your passwords, I don't have credit card or barely any info on mine, but I know majority of you guys use it.

[Brut]

I like how Steam doesn't send an email out to it's userbase advising them of this hack, nor allow me to change my fucking password despite the fact that they've been hacked.

Welp, time to watch my Credit Card for suspicious bullshit.

That's a great example that I would've brought up if it wouldn't have sounded insanely queer in an already queer post - James Cameron talked extensively about how generating the visual feel of that movie (a huge task since the majority is CGI) is absolutely NOT "realistic" and is deliberately cinematic. To round out the cinematic analogies: Avatar works at creating a cinematic feel, District 9 succeeds with a realistic feel, while Star Wars prequels look like videogames in the same way Elder Scrolls games do.
