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

[The Schwartz]

man that's sad I think the only things I'm for sure interested in at the moment are Max Payne and Bioshock

I would be intereted in borderlands but I seriously doubt it's released this year

[The Schwartz]

Borderlands is really promising just stop once you get to the mountain and never ever play it again

[copstache]

did you not play the dlc? that makes up for the non-ending

[The Bill]

Borderlands is so cheap now-- the first one-- that I often consider just picking it up.

Those of you that have played that game, please fill in the blank:

"If you dug _________ , you will probably like Borderlands."

Only dicked around with it once, but I got drunk and the small font mission text gave me the spins while trying to read it, so my contribution is a bit narfed, but I'd say:

"If you dig the idea of a First Person Shooter in the vein of Diablo, you will probably like Borderlands."

The game seems like a lot of grinding, rudimentary grinding. I'm afraid Skyriim may of ass-fucked any chance I have of liking this.

Is this sort of like how Red Dead Redemption is awesome until you get to Mexico?

pretty much yea

I hated the ending so fucking much that I hated the game itself for over a year and and promised no more money to that piece of shit so no I didn't play any DLC

[copstache]

aww, general knoxx was the best part of the entire game

[Necrometer]

i was perusing this http://games.ign.com/articles/119/1192614p1.html

and there's a whole lot of things i want to be good but a whole lot of things that could just end up being

how are they still making armored core games? I loved the first few (?), but tried the PS3 one and it was fucking terrible... or maybe I stopped being a moron

[fallbacktostone]

i think it took them at least 3 games to figure out how to map the controls to the dual analog sticks properly

if theres ever one perfect iteration that works the sticks properly and has zillions of parts i'll probably buy it

[guardianoftheblind]

hey guys you know what i just remembered about MGS3? it has the best boss fight of all time and i just got to it

ok so i guess it's a lot harder the first time around. held him up to get moss camo and finished him off in like 10 mins :/

still one of the best ever the first time you play it though

[ungodlywarlock]

I'm not sure if I've already mentioned it, but if you guys haven't at least rented Saints Row 3 and had a few beers, you are missing out.
Game is fucking stupidly fun.

It's doesn't have the tightest controls...or the best graphics...or best voice acting. But starts out a blast and never really lets up.

[Wang Mandu]

Dishonored and Max Payne 3 are at the top of my 2012 hype list.

man that's sad I think the only things I'm for sure interested in at the moment are Max Payne and Bioshock

Prey 2 has the potential to be really awesome. Bounty hunter going after alien criminals in a Blade Runner styled open world.

I've already pre-ordered a bunch with my special super secret Amazon moneys. Going on gut feeling and faith with these:

The Witcher 2 (360)

Good man.

[Hypnagogia]

I remember holding him up the first time I played, don't remember how difficult it was.
Think I used the mic on him, or maybe used the contra code.

Really need to get that HD pack, along w/ Ico and SotC.

I remember it taking over a half hour to beat the bastard, and I can't even remember how I did it.

[The Bill]

, or maybe used the contra code.

Say what in the who now?!?!?!?!?????!!!!!?!?!?!?!?!???????!?!?

Makes the location of The End show up on your map during the battle with him.

[Hypnagogia]

it's the best of series; have you played any others?
if not, don't.

[Spooky Apparition]

i don't want to spoil the good vibes of the skyrim thread, but somehow at about 40 hours it just became completely uninteresting to me. don't know why. hopefully i'll get the desire to return to it at some point

anyone played trine 2, demo or full game? it has to be one of the most beautiful games EVER. music is awesome too. if you like 2D platformers at all it's worth checking out.

[Hypnagogia]

Other than a 3D camera...aren't the controls pretty much the same for all the games??
I'm assuming the HD pack gives all the games a 3D camera? ...I hope?

I checked out the demo last night. When I selected it for download, I was like "Let's see what this gay shit is about". And then when I hit play, I was like "OOOOoooOOOoooOOOoooo.....preeeeeetty."

Amazing environments. Fun little puzzles. I'll probably actually buy it the next drought that I come across.
