i thought you already played it

Nah, it was gonna be $30 with taxes/shipping from Amazon.ca so I never bothered to get it. Online retailer had it up this week for $15 so I just price matched it at Best Buy and walked out with a copy.

Sleeping Dogs is pretty mediocre so far, the mechanics are all good but they just don't do anything with them. Here, fight six guys that don't do anything special then fight another six after you reach the next floor. Conclusion to the mission? Fight another six! It's tedious and boring when it's this easy, and this little variety in the enemy composition. And that surveillance side-mission is just so fucking bad. Same dude in a suit every time and a huge arrow after a couple seconds just in-case you're brain dead? Ugh, fucking awful. Madden 13 is alright, a lot of the AI is just super awful though. Opposing AI on pass coverage will get retarded bursts of speed to swat away balls, I'm talking 5-6 yards in a second sometimes just to interrupt a pass. If it were by design to get you to lead your players it would be fine, but WRs under AI control will never sprint for a pass that you put a couple yards ahead of them so you just end up with a tonne of incomplete passes unless you manually take control of the WR after the pass and run it down yourself. Defensive AI is even worse, zone coverage is pretty much useless because even high awareness/play recognition rated players will just stand there as plays happen around them. They might occasionally react for a tackle, but you're pretty much forced to play a safety or MLB if you don't want fucking Ryan Fitzpatrick to tear you up for yardage down the middle. At least you get AI stupidity that benefits you sometimes; no, that was a great call to run the ball on 1st and 10 with :53 left in the game and no timeouts, Chicago. Thanks for the free win. Running the ball is a lot of fun, hitting a receiver in-between coverage is satisfying as hell with that total control passing thing, and there's enough team building strategy with the player/coach experience and scouting points that I've probably spent more time in the menus than on the field. I haven't played a Madden game seriously since '04, so I'm not really concerned with whether or not it's enough of an improvement over '12. I don't think I'll play it all that much once the fall games really start picking up, but I bought it for $40 to last me a couple weeks until Borderlands 2 and it's exceeded my expectations as a hold over.

i wish the side quests in darksiders 2 were more clear when it comes to what you have to do. I hit a wall in a mini dungeon and assumed that the quest i was on couldn't be completed until later in the game when i got the right ability/piece of gear.

What's the name of the dungeon?

shattered forge

I've cleared it and the only unlock I have is the pistol, I don't recall needing it to clear it so you should be good to go.

what do you do when you get to the part where theres corruption crystals on those ledges in that big room? i see a bomb on the other side but theres no way to reach it.

btw whats your economic strategy? im not sure if thats better to upgrade a possessed weapon with a bunch of inferior ones and sell it, or just sell all of them separately.

Dive into the water in the room you're in, you should see a little tunnel that will take you to the bomb.

I've just been sacrificing every item I have that I don't want, haven't sold anything.

Gorewood down. Mace he dropped is pretty beast, I'd lose a lot of crit chance/crit damage but I'd gain a 200% strength modifer and like 50 damage. I wonder if I'd get the strength modifier on my Scythes if I sacrificed it.

Four hours into Darksiders 2 and I'm really enjoying myself. Apocalyptic difficulty is pretty brutal, before picking up a decent amount of defense/resistance almost everything one shot me. Even the most basic and easily dispatched enemies were able to two shot me. Hasn't gotten much easier with gear, the combat arenas can get pretty nuts and bosses don't give a fuck what kind of equipment I'm wearing. RPG elements are weaker than I was expecting; most loot is useless so opening chests stops being exciting pretty quickly. More excited for health potions at this point than items, heh. Talent trees are alright, too many modifiers and not enough abilities though. Load times are pretty nuts for the uninstalled 360 version, looking at 10-15 seconds after each death and a 2-3 second pause in-between areas. Completely forgot I could install games until somebody mentioned doing it in a NeoGAF thread, hopefully that makes it more manageable. There was a secret boss I found pretty early on that was just shitting on me, but if you can hit it you can kill it so I would have no problem putting in 50+ deaths to kill the guy if it weren't for that 10-15 second loading screen. Skipped him and found out he's a side mission boss for a much higher level quest, really wanna kill him when I'm under-powered.

I think I like sound shapes more than journey

It's okay, nobody's perfect.

lmfao

I love the weeaboo on weeabo hate itt

Man, Oath in Felghana is fucking rough. Playing it on Normal and it took me at least 20 tries to kill each of the first two bosses, considering bumping it down to easy but the regular enemies are already super easy so the non-boss segments would probably just get tedious if I did. Are bosses pretty frequent and/or can I just run past the regular sections without worrying about being under-leveled later on?

Holy SHIT (major spoilers if you haven't finished CH 2)

Spoiler

those crazy farmers cut both of mark's legs off and feeding everyone his legs at the dinner table

I'm like an hour into episode 1 and not really enjoying myself, but I'm going to keep playing if there's shit like that coming up. http://systemwars.com/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/Smileys/laugh.gif

Saints Row 3 is baller. I thought it was a 30+ hour game though, but I'm 4 hours in and my completion percentage is at 28%...wat.

Just finished the Civ 5 demo. I WANT THIS GAME!! To the steam sale.

What's in the demo? Civ 5 seems like a weird game to have a demo for. I'm assuming it stops at a certain year?

Wizorb - I find it to be a poorly designed game that's one or two changes away from being something great. The advertised RPG elements are so paper thin to begin with, but are made even more pointless by how incredibly easy the game is. I played through on normal and finished the game while dying only 4 times over the course of 60+ levels. You start the game with 4 lives but I finished it with 50, so it's not even like extra lives are rare. And if 50 lives isn't enough, you can buy an unlimited amount of extra lives for 85 gold a piece...I finished the game with 15,000 gold and nothing but extra lives to spend it on, I just didn't bother because I didn't need them. In addition to being insulting easy, the gameplay is boring. The game treats you to some clever twists on the Arkanoid formula by offering up special powers, most useful in clearing out those last stubborn blocks that just won't break, but after the third level of the game, prevents you from using them from the purpose they're the most useful for. You end up stuck with super easy levels that take way too long to clear because the designers thought people expect a lengthy experience out of their $3 purchase, instead of a fun one. Awful game, even at the $1.50 sale price I wouldn't recommend it. It takes so long to do anything and is so completely devoid of enjoyment, I want the 4 hours it took to beat it back. Tiny and Big: Grandpa's Leftovers - The cutting is awesome, underestimating how large of a piece you just cut and slowly watching a massive chunk of the world fall out and start rolling towards you is hilarious. It has some really enjoyable moments, and none of them are scripted, you create them. The price of freedom to slice and dice the world is that restarting levels because of something unexpected (and in some cases, just not as designed) ends up happening more often than it should. Cutting that huge chunk and watching it knock over a pillar that lands on top of you is joyous, but when you lose 10 minutes of progress and retread your way through cuts you know the outcome of the game loses it's charm. Later parts of the game have some platforming issues that end up causing the same problem, they're far more frustrating though and it really drags down the last 1/4 of the game. Fun little gameplay twist, hopefully these guys do a bigger budget sequel that fixes some of the issues or somebody shamelessly steals the idea and incorporates it into a better game.

So fucking addicted to Shogun 2 at the moment, waiting on a summer sales or until my will breaks to get Fall of the Samurai. Stopped playing as the Oba because they're too fucking hard to play without samurai units, and now i'm onto the ikki, monks are a loophole! Still hard because everyone fucking hates the ikki and their religion

Fine, I guess it's in the top 20.

top 10 based on your list. Fable 2, Torchlight, costume quest (I liked it but its so shallow) :lol:

Fable 2 would probably in the middle of the pack, don't think I'm listing that as filler in a 9 or 10 spot. Love that game, fuck the haters.

There's also 12 games on that list and you picked 3, that's not example of my top 10, bro.

Mass Effect 2 Diablo 3 Witcher 2 Dragon Age Torchlight New Vegas Costume Quest Dark Souls Demon's Souls Fable 2 Fallout 3 Neverwinter Nights 2 Fine, I guess it's in the top 20.

Are those supposed to be good or bad? They look pretty average. Shit, anything that can still be played on an 8600 GT is doing something right. Now that 35 GB of HDD space needed....

Super Mario World > Super Metroid Deal with it.

Some serious sacrilege going on itt.
