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

get angry bird

[copstache]

since i picked up a vita a little while ago, i figured it was time to cave in and get PS+

and now i have so many games i can't pick which one to play

probably just keep playing spelunky

[Spooky Apparition]

have you played sine mora yet? that'll be available at some point in october... only for vita, not PS3

hotline miami will be available for both this month though, pretty excited about that.

[copstache]

sine mora should be available starting tomorrow i think and after watching a video i'm way stoked about it.

i already have hotline miami for pc, but i'll gladly play through it again.

on top of all the ps+ stuff, i still have like 50 hours in P4G left and i just bought dragon's crown over the weekend. no games on the vita my ass

[guardianoftheblind]

i have sine mora on PS3

it's

[Wang Mandu]

Uh-huh, I'm noticing not a single person is telling me about a PC exclusive title over here. Let me worry about spending money or configuring the FOV in the system.ini to get the original Unreal engine to play at 1080p, and all the other stuff I know exactly what to do with while being quite drunk.

What do you want to play? There's loads of games and probably a ton of classics you missed. The Total War games, Crusader Kings II and just about every Paradox game out there, the original Crysis, tons and tons of old school rpgs, every console port in existence running at 60 fps and a native resolution, etc. etc.

Personally, I'd wait for AMD / Nvidia to release their next round of cards in 2014 before building a PC. I think AMD is releasing a lower cost beast of a card soon and with their Mantle tech being used in consoles, I might consider them whenever I upgrade/build a new PC.

am i the only one that's getting less and less excited for destiny?

i thought i would be salivating at a new bungie IP. for a while the game was fairly enigmatic, but the more i see the more i think it just looks like borderlands.

i am very open to more opinions

[Friendly Goatus]

It looks like an improved borderlands to me.

As someone who was less than enthusiastic about borderlands, I'm very OK with this.

[guardianoftheblind]

don't get me wrong, i love both borderlands games, but part of the excitement of this new IP was "oh man, what KIND of game is it?!?! i'm so excited!"

just not as excited anymore, i guess

[Spooky Apparition]

never cared for halo so the fact it's a new bungie IP didn't excite me too much to begin with. it looks okay, maybe it'll turn out solid.

as far as next-gen SP/MP hybrid games are concerned the division is more interesting to me right now, but still too early to become officially hyped

[guardianoftheblind]

^agree totally.

the division looks SOLID

[Friendly Goatus]

I'm more interested in Titanfall personally. Fast paced Mechwarrior with infantry

[guardianoftheblind]

i know that shit is coming to PS4....eventually

[Friendly Goatus]

I think it was something like a year after the xbone release? That's fine by me, I probably wont even consider getting a new console until then anyways.

[guardianoftheblind]

i'm pretty sure they haven't said anything about a ps4 release yet, but you know itll happen

[Friendly Goatus]

You're right. Weird. I could have sworn I heard it as fact.

[Spooky Apparition]

i saw an interview with the director of titanfall or someone important at the company and he was pretty damn evasive about even responding to the PS4 question at all. i would think if it was a true exclusive he would have straight up said, "it's only on xbox and PC," but he just kept saying, "right now we're just focusing on the launch." he probably has strict orders not to even say the words "playstation 4" until after the game is out.

[doomeddisciple]

I got an email to test BF4 this morning - Might give that a go tonight

[guardianoftheblind]

just saw xbox 360 beta footage....god does it look like shit

that shit won't get bought until next gen

[FVBTVS]

it is mighty ugly but also fun.

Here's my newest work in progress. Building a supergun so I can play some arcade pcb's on my monitor. Looks alright for the first attempt I guess. It's pretty basic, but it'll do what I need it to. Neo Geo pads will work on it, have a kick harness adapter on the side so I can play any of the games with more than 4 buttons, typical coin, player 1+2 start, service, and test buttons, mvs stereo switch, audio attenuation circuit, RGBs and rca stereo output on the back, and also will support -5v for the games that require it. Once I get it completely finished up I'll post some pics of it running. Gotta admit it is a lot of fun so far putting it together.

Aside from the regular Rayman Legends, I got some Diablo III time in last night. I'm thoroughly enjoying the hell out of it. Nice to see a game with so much loot keep giving me loot I want and actually use. Isn't that right, BORDERLANDS? I've said it before and I'll say it again, this game does not match any memory I had of Diablo II, but, again, last I played Diablo II was 2000. Probably due to all the mouse clicking vs. controller.

[copstache]

yeah see the pc version is the complete opposite of that; you will never ever get good drops. the only way to get significantly better equipment is using the auction house. piece of crap game.
