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

[MANTIS]

also, am i the only one who thought dead space 2 was like... uncomfortably scary/intense? it freaked me out a lot more than amnesia, for example. TOO SCARY

right there with ya. especially toward the end when it was just wave after wave of necromorph hordes. game actually stressed me out.

i really thought the environment design was best in part 2 as well. the other two games were far too repetitive in that regard

[MANTIS]

yeah, i had many 'oh shit!' moments and that almost never happens with me

[a world of no]

not sure if this is the PC version or not

i vaguely recall reading something about from software saying that this version was going to be primarily pc based, with the console versions being sort of an "though the systems are outdated i guess we need to do a port anyway".

bwahahhaahaha fuck you paying for shit ever...... 80gigs of fuckyo

if there's something in life i need more of, it's games to add to my backlog. so i bought 8 probably-bad to maybe-ok games for like $50 combined

- homefront
- the darkness 2
- space marine
- dragon age 2
- star wars: republic commando
- singularity
- the sabateur
- FEAR 3

guess i'll try homefront first; heard that's short.

[riley-o]

singularity's not bad. Not amazing by any stretch but a fun enough Bioshock clone.

[copstache]

that's actually one of the ones i'm looking forward to playing the most. lots of people were mentioning it as a kind of unsung lucasarts game and it was like $8.

[guardianoftheblind]

space marine was awful

i just took back the sabOteur because its a janky mess. which is unfortunate because the idea behind it is decent enough

we all know about dragon age ii

singularity is pretty decent. half life 2/metro 2033 vibe. but not nearly as good as either of those.

the darkness ii demo was pretty decent as well. should be a fun low price game

i've heard people rave about republic commando, but i have no idea

i played fear 3 for a few hours. same feelings as the darkness ii. good for a low price

[copstache]

everybody's holding their loads for the new consoles so this year is shaping up to be a good time to catch up on missed games. nevermind that stores are practically giving games away lately

[guardianoftheblind]

and while i'm talking too much, why has hardly anyone here talked about dragon's dogma? the re-release of the game (with added content and a few tweaks) is coming out on the 23rd and it looks fantastic.

skyrim + dark souls - punishment

i've been watching gameplay vids all day. i'm getting all worked up

EDIT: oh, and it's only $40

[copstache]

i've been holding off in hopes of a pc port, which was rumored originally to coincide with the re-release. sounds like it might not be happening which is too bad because capcom makes some pretty good pc ports.

i think slinky was playing it?

[copstache]

speaking of re-releases, everybody needs to buy the re-release of Deadly Premonition when it comes out so SWERY will get the money to make a new game

[The Schwartz]

all I remember about Dragon's Dogma is Riley was playing it and had nothing good to say about it

[a world of no]

i enjoyed both space marine and dragon age ii. go back to /v/ with your elitist bullshit opinions.

all I remember about Dragon's Dogma is Riley was playing it and had nothing good to say about it

i used the search function and spooky said he absolutely loved it

i've done a lot of research and it seems like there's nothing to to like, especially with the tweaks they did
