I agree with Ultra. I love both of those games, great replay value in both of them.

A playthrough of Fallout 1 and 2 would actually help you appreciate Fallout NV more than Fallout 3.

Some really cool cameos and easter eggs.

I have heard good things, just lack motivation since I don't like playing through like 30 hours of time I deleted accidentally on my last save.

Bought those games, and I'm having a bad time trying to make the graphics on it stable. This was during the Steam Summer Sale, so a lot of other games got played instead.

I have it on 360, lucky me?

I had them on 360, Fallout 3 played flawlessly, but New Vegas had a glitch on it to where it would lock up at the Strip loading screen. I think they patched it eventually. I don't remember.

Got some games from eStarland so right now its between these 3 at the moment:
Saints Row 2
Halo 1
Metal Gear Solid 3

GUNZ: THE DUEL. Highly addictive in internet shops until now. Brings back memories of K-style and dodging like Max Payne minus the slow mo effects. :p

I think my PS3 died. My brother must have been playing Killzone last night and something must have happened. Manual says it overheated so I got a fan blowing on it. But after checking some websites, it's looking like my 60gb launch PS3 finally kicked it.

So much for finishing up Final Fantasy 10.

You actually bought that game

Pintint is a rich suburban white kid guys, let's steal his stuff

Totally not rich, but just had to have that game.

Just got LA Noire Complete Edition for £12 bought 20% into it so far.

Pretty fun game, way easy to 100%/Platinum it, too.

I've been reluctant to get it because people told me its pretty much the same exact game/storyline as Red Dead Redemption.

I mean, I loved RDR, but don't want to play through the same thing again.

Its fuck all like it.

Madden and NBA 2K13

ANother addictive online game... Love being the medic dual gunner...

Playing Legends of Troy. Gameplay is repetitive, but I'm enjoying the historical story.

Fifa 13. Don't have time for shit, but thats just turn on and play.

Need some BF back in my life, but waiting till we get FO internet again cos this one where I'm living is bollocks.

Replaying Resident Evil 1 (on the Sega Saturn).

Sudden Attack and Bullet Run online.

Saints Row, about 3 hours longer then intended and probably a few hours yet.

Darksiders and Borderland 2

It’s not very much like RDR at all. RDR is set in the “wild west” in like 1912. L.A. Noire is set in 1940’s Los Angeles. Both games do feature newspapers, but the ones in L.A. Noire count towards your trophies/achievements for the game (you have to find and “read” all 13, and unlike in RDR, when you read a paper in L.A. Noire, you can go “behind the headline” to see how other events in the game are happening at the same time, just behind the scenes, and eventually (no spoilers here) the storylines converge at the end.

The only other similarity L.A. Noire and R.D.R. have in common are bounties (R.D.R.) and responding to dispatch calls (L.A. Noire). Again, unlike R.D.R., finishing 1, 20, and all 40 of the dispatch calls can net you trophies/achievements for the 1st you do, then at the halfway point and again when you have done them all.

All said, Pintint, I think you’d be doing yourself a HUGE favor if you just give L.A. Noire a chance, and if you like extra content for your games, by all means, splurge for The Complete Edition (if you can find it anywhere that is...good luck with that!)

I was trying to play Diablo 3 which I bought at launch but haven't played much because I got bored with it and didnt like it as much as Diablo 2, but 15 minutes after starting it up, I got "connection dropped", erasing the 15 minutes of progress.

Come on Blizzard.

If you can't keep your servers functioning (especially months after launch), don't make the game require online play for single player.
Interest in game lost again.

Fucking love that game btw.. And the one thing creeped me out are the plague rats that are behaving like piranhas in the sewers and the weepers aka zombies I think.. Steam punk mid century ftw!!

Finally finished the game Dishonored on PC.. HOLY FUCK ME. This game's ending almost felt like Mass Effect 3... 2 endings to this one but Wow. Tough choices. Oh well.. Sometimes violence is necessary anyway... Good game.. Felt bad for the future daughter Empress Emily that had to live through this hell hole... :(

Help: How do you get the good ending with a low chaos result in each mission? Let me guess, less killings or no killings at all and you use non lethal takedowns instead? Tried it on normal mode upon replay but I still end up killing because they detected my presence...

Been really into retro gaming lately, so I just beat Mega Man X for the first time a couple days ago. Moving on to X2 and X3 as well.

Was hoping on finishing up Halo 1 as part of a mini-break from Saints Row 2 but found out today that's going to be impossible since the game keeps crashing before the start of the Guilty Spark mission/chapter.

Took a break from Saints Row 2 because of the final mission being a lot more frustrating than it should be.

What did you not like about The Witcher 2?? I thought it was pretty immense..

I'm currently playing Fallout New Vegas (never beat it and the disc got scratched so I rebought it) and Dead Island..

Dead Island is pretty fun but I hope it gets more in depth than just "fetch it" quests..

I don't remember, I'm sure it's somewhere in this thread.

booooooooooooooo

Red Dead Redemption: Undead Nightmare

Nice atmosphere, it's good to have more to do in the frontier, and I like the new mounts.

However, the combat is a bit disappointing in that the zombies are never really a threat, even in great numbers. They're easily dispatched, slow, and don't inflict much damage.
I also have a feeling that running around between towns to keep saving them is going to become a tedious chore pretty quickly.

I'm only about 2 1/2 hours in, so there's still room to grow, and while I don't think it compares to the main game, it's still pretty fun.

Yup. Non lethal takedowns using the choke or sleep darts. Can't leave bodies out in the open either. Not sure if you can just leave them in the shadows, or if you have to put them in a dumpster. I'm on a non-lethal run now as well. Much tougher, but if you are creative, you can work around it.

It does get better once you get further into it, I found it the same the way, you can ignore the towns indefinitely I think but its a good way to stock up on ammo.

Really liked the campaign, liked the Strikeforce side missions, was something slightly different. Best in the series imo.

I got Star Wars: The Old Republic free to play a few days ago and so far it's pretty fun, there's premium stuff I would like but there's no way I'm subscribing.

So pissed, was 5 hours into XCOM and can't advance anymore because there is a bug when two things are going on at once on the holograph that causes the game to stop loading. Don't wanna start over :(

Pretty good. Was very fun in the beginning. The game looked sharp and overall the voice actors nailed their parts. The story seemed rushed in the 3rd act. Rehashing antagonists from the 1st/2nd movie works fine for a video game but it would have been awful for a 3rd movie which makes me seriously doubt this was considered for the plot for the 3rd movie. It got boring near the end but I'm not a HUGE GB fan so maybe it wasn't for most. Multiplayer was fine. I only played maybe a half hour of it. But it's fine for arena-based whatnot. Good stuff. Will start Sanctum of Slime tonight.

Goozex is vomiting games at me right now. Partly because I'm worried the site is on it's last legs so I took a lot of shit off hold about 2 months ago and just now it's starting to hit me like a tidal wave. I have a feeling most of these games are going to be placed in a corner for a while but I'm going to try to knock them out as fast as I can.

Well that didn't take long. After 1 level, I was not impressed. After the 2nd level, I was bored. I started the 3rd level and said "fuck this". It's pretty awful and I'm glad I didn't pay full price for it.

Roxer has finished 31 games in just under 11 months. Which means on average he finishes a game once every ten days. That is insane.

19 really. Excluding games I didn't play, quick indie games, sports games I played for a weekend (like Madden) etc.

Bout to finish Spiderman too with something like 8 hours played.

Started on Alone In The Dark 4. Bought it a while ago for PC but haven't gotten around it due to backlog.
Pretty fun so far, will probably stick to it. Compability sucks on Win 7 though.

Not meant as an insult but do you have a job? If so, where do you find the time to finish that many?

A game sensei walks among us. You must bow in silent respect rather than question his game conquering powers. Even the lengthiest of games quiver in anticipation at the sight of Roxer's enormous thumbs.

I am imagining RoXer wallowing in a sea of Mountain Dew Energy and bags of Doritos. Red eyed with a pillow behind his head for the sleep he allows himself during loading screens.

Only thing I've put time into is Dark Souls and MLB:The Show. Mostly everything else was beaten on a weekend.

And Mass Effect

How many hours would you say you play during a weekend? I simply can't find time to play 3+ hours anymore these days and looking at my backlog is depressing me. Don't think ill ever get caught up.

Interesting concept but in the end it didn't feel too much different from any other beat em up type. I wish the stealth sections were a little smoother and a bit brighter. Got repetitive pretty quick to the point where I just swinged on past enemies to the next checkpoint. Solid voiceovers, for the most part.

Yet another I game I hardly played. I played enough of it to know that I shouldn't be playing it. I tried a quick race on normal to see if the disc works and I had a hell of a time controlling the car. When I tried playing again later, same thing happened so I fiddled around with the "sensitivity" and "dead zone" settings but cars still handled like tugboats. I tried paying on easy but then the car would brake for you no matter what and I wasn't having any of that.

It looks pretty good at least. A lot of (locked) cars and tracks to choose from. I tried the very first mission in campaign to unlock stuff, spun out 3 times and figured that's enough for me.

Things might be different with a race wheel but who knows. I don't have these problems with Forza or Gran Turismo.

Who's going to buy a used copy of Roxer's credibility...

Not all of us can name drop like you.

What does that have to do with anything other than the fact that I work alot so I can't beat 56 games a year??

Oh, I thought it was because you spend all your time hanging out with Tom Cruise. My mistake.

You are trying way too hard..

It isn't difficult to make you look like an ignorant asshole, you do a fine job yourself.

Look at the balls on that guy..

Ill stop before you get defensive and say you aren't.

Iron Sky Invasion.

Gameplay and graphics remind me alot of Star Wars X-Wing sim and Crimson Skies style type of missions.. Finished it yes I know it's short but still, the gameplay is decent.

I just finished Duke Nukem Forever's The Doctor Who Cloned Me DLC, and it was pretty awesome, so much more like DN3D. The dialogue was hilarious.

In the mean time, I've ordered Dishonored Special Edition, and I have WWE '13 sitting on a shelf waiting to be played as a prize once I finish my essays for this semester.

How long is the DLC? Worth reinstalling DNF for?

Picked up Deus Ex Human Revolution for $10 on black friday.. It's alright so far..

It has a pretty good story on my opinion . Worthy of even being considered canon. And really, that's what made me keep playing because everything else about this game isn't great.

The combat system is weird and could have used more defensive elements to it. Most of the time you pick your best offensive ability over and over with not a lot of strategy to it other than go for the archers first. The only battles that were tough were with Valarr.

Sound isn't great. The two main character's VO's are decent and Varys and Cersi are ok. Everything else is bad. Not even great music. They don't even have the full intro of the song playing in the beginning.

It doesn't look good either. Looks like it could be on the PS2 or maybe the vita.

But overall, a pretty bad game and the only reason I kept going was to see was because the writing is what saved it.
-------------------------------------------
*EDIT*

And you know what, fuck it I'm done with Soul Calibur V too. Couldn't get into like I did with IV. I tried a couple of times but just couldn't do it.

And then I'm done beating stuff for the year. I'll chill out online with Blops and NFS most likely. I may try to start The Walking Dead around Christmas but we'll see.

Black Ops 2 (PC, Online)
Legend Of The Dragoon (PSX)
Alone In The Dark 4 : The New Nightmare (PC)

Actually, I think I'm done with Soul Calibur V. I couldn't get into it at all.

It may be my first victime to be sent out on either 99gamers or VGFive since Goozex is dead.

I took it slow and it took me around 5-6 hours, give or take. For me the humor was the selling point, especially one scene where Duke get's shrunk down and has to escape in a talking barbie car, it went a bit Toy Story but then went right back to tits and one-liners. If you can get the DLC cheap I'd say it's a good Sunday afternoon type game.

I bought Forza Horizon on Black Friday for like $15, still kind of raced out from Forza 3 but I figured it was a pretty good deal for that price. I can't tale it seriously though. Tha main character looks like a dark haired Paul Walker and I keep expecting the next Fast & Furious movie to break out at any time.

<font color="#ccffcc"> Games I have played this year

GTA IV - 91 - Upon replay, Instead of powering through the story I took time to sort of "live" in Liberty City. Really added to the game.

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim - 97 - Still my only complaint is so little variety of monsters that pose a threat.

Crackdown - 80 - Fun to dick around in

Bioshock - 95 - Love this game so much, going to replay it soon and then start Bioshock 2.

Dark Souls - NA - Haven't played enough to rate, don't hate myself enough to play atm.

Red Dead Redemption - 96 - Replaying due to a fan theory I have, will post upon completion.

Mass Effect - NA - Haven't played in forever

Mario Party 9
Metal Slug 7

Played Mario Party 9 mostly for a nephew who loves Mario but is too young to actually play games yet. He enjoyed it and all the changes done pretty much make it a lot faster to go through each board,

SNK got pretty lazy with Metal Slug 7 since its as short as other games in the series but has no multiplayer nor takes advantage of the extra screen like Contra 4 did.

Currently playing:
Kirby's Epic Yarn
Gears of War 3

Finished beating this classic game remake Karateka. Used to play it on Apple computer looong ago.. Now the remake looks like Mulan Disney style anime. Yeah yeah, most of you think this is shit because of the graphics update but the gameplay is good. Kinda like Tyson's punch out rhythm type of fighting. Listen to the music so that you can attack at the right time.. That's about it..

Another one that was very easy to beat. Well, the single player was. Multi player had some legs to it but got very repetitive quickly and I found myself bored most of the time. Mostly because you had to unlock a lot to remain competitive with the field and if someone has already unlocked certain mods they'll be difficult to beat or take down. Some shameless rubberbanding in this game too. The map is a bitch to look at and needed to be zoomed out to work efficiently. Went to my custom soundtrack after about 40 mins too. I was looking forward to this but overall, it was disappointing.


Working on: Blops 2, The Walking Dead, Dead Space 1&2, Medal of Honor: Warfighter, Deus Ex, Spelunky, Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood, Assassin's Creed: Revalations, Dear Esther, Trine 2, Super Meat Boy, Metal Gear Solid Collection, maybe Portal 2 co-op
