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

I thought God of War was basically Clash of the Titans with more tits.

Anyway, I'm a few hours into Infamous 2 and I'm beginning to agree with some of yous that there's something missing here. The gameplay is practically the same as in the first one, actually better in some ways, but the story just seems to be plodding along with nothing interesting ever happening. The first one just seemed a lot more dramatic.

anyone else getting bastion tomorrow?

So Portal and Half Life are more related that people thought. Fuck you Valve, make a new Half Life already.

that was never proven and it was speculation based on pre-portal 2 information from like 4 years ago. on top of that, portal 2 ended up being something totally different than they originally planned so any info from back then is contentious

but keep on imagining things moonman

[Krieg]

What? GlaDOS told Chell that. And she confirmed as well that

SPOILERSPOILER_SHOW

Caroline is Chell's mother

And that

SPOILERSPOILER_SHOW

Caroline was uploaded into GlaDOS.

[Friendly Goatus]

Yeah, I dont recall anything about caroline being chells mom.

So I'm pretty much set for when Battlefield 3 comes out. I traded in 2 games and now only have to pay $10 when it comes out. Also, who thinks I should've held off on trading MvC3 and the last Madden for Deus Ex, instead of the new NCAA game? This has been my first college game since the ps2 days. I'm pleased with it, hell if I have this job after August I'll get it.

I'm kind of bummed the Co-op adventure mode on the Uncharted beta was awesome, but it was only one level and was in the last week of it. Two out of the handful of games I played had some of the biggest non-reviving retards I've ever been forced to play with. I actually quit a game and I never do that!

I'm already pondering what game to play post-Bioshock. I'm thinking I'll go Shadows of the Damned. I've only about a month's time left before I go to Greece so now is the time to decide what I really want to do via games. Do I start a long journey like replaying Fallout: Vegas or Mass Effect 2. Do I play a lot of shorter games instead? I mean, it's not like I'm not ever playing games again when I get back from Greece, but there's something special about playing whenever I want (when I can get myself wanting to play).

My big problem with Fallout: Vegas is the game crashed on me pretty bad last time I played and I've heard where it crashed has DOOMED my entire progress. This was back in the Fall of 2010, so I don't know if I it was patched. I also don't remember too much of what I was doing either, but I know I put a lot of time into the game. You know, with Skrym coming out in November, maybe we just forget THAT style of game.

Cave Johnson was the founder of the applied sciences company, Aperture Science, and was its CEO until he died as a result of moon-rock poisoning in the late 1980s

[Hypnagogia]

Got the "deluxe" infamous 2 for $60; seemed like the normal price hadn't dropped much, so this was a steal.
probably will hock the backpack and statue on ebay; game disc is normal.

the fact that they made the multiplayer code based off the reach engine is fucking
