I gave up on Halo 4 pretty early on. Finished it once then put it on the shelf.

Same old shit.

This is the first Halo game I've ever played so it's all new to me! So far I've only been playing MP, haven't even touched the campaign yet.

Looking for a new game, not sure what I want though.

You can buy that Mass Effect trilogy pack which seems kind of cool, I really don't care about the ending controversy.

Get the pack, it has most of the DLC included so is well worth the price. All three games are very enjoyable and have plenty of replay value.

Bought it yesterday, ME1 didn't work though so I ended up researching and got it work finally. Played about 2 hours or so, it's alright, there's some glitchy NPCS talking though. I am looking forward to ME2 so I'm going to try and blitz through this one.

It has Yvonne Strahovski in it so I'm already sporting a partial.

Played the hell out of Mega Man 3 last night, completing the stages out of ideal order. Tonight: the revisited "dark" levels.

Hells yeah. People say Mega Man 2 is the best one, but they haven't played 3.
We used to do this glitch on Snake Man's stage that involved a person (or heavy object) holding, I think, left on the second controller while player 1 fell into a certain pit by those big silo things the fans come out of...if you hugged the left side of the wall all the way down you'd fall for like ten seconds before hearing the "you died" sound, and then you'd respawn and be invincible for the rest of the level, as long as you didn't get any health pellet things. You could also jump SUPER high.
No fuckin' idea how my friend found that out.

Also, Needle Man's music is so good. All of it is, really.

Yeah, MM2 has better weapons and is only topped by MM3's music...and the fact you get to fight MM2 mavericks in those dark stages is cool as hell.

Metal Blade is the best weapon out of any MM game. Even the sound it makes. Awesome.

I think 3 is a lot easier overall, phantom Rush Jet after beating Snake Man, start with 9 energy tanks, due to the highjump/pitfall trick...

...which I too discovered by accident while fidgeting when it was my best friend's turn.

It's hard for me to pick one over the other...both games deliver.



But dude, if you haven't already...play the fan hacks of 2 and 3.

They are Megaman 2 Revenge, MM2 Remix, MM2 NEO, Rockman Deus EX, Rockman Exhaust, Rockman Exile, Rockman Unprecedented...and the crown jewel is Rockman No Constancy.

Warning, expect frustration...and I cant remember which games are actually beatable other than No Constancy...but good luck

Playing Dragon Age II again because boredom.

[Andrew]

Go to play ME1 again and find that my save file is missing.

Yay!

[ChetMagongalo]

Want mine? I hate it

[theshoegazer]

Playing a horrendous amount of this:



Fire Emblem: Awakening on 3DS

I was in the mood for a stupid thoughtless shoot-em-up and the Serious Sam collection was on sale so I bought it and started playing the first one and oh my god this game is fantastic. Worth every dollar just for the AHHHHH kamikaze dudes.

I'll give it a shot when I'm feeling particularly masochistic...I've seen vidjas of No Constancy before and it looks like a nightmare
But I also love bullet hell games even though I'm never able to beat 'em.

Dude, Serious Sam is SO GOOD, especially the HD remakes, oh my god. Those graphics. Kleer EVERYWHERE. Best played on the highest difficulty with a couple bros...man, I gotta reinstall now.
Fucking love those games, the first two anyway. Haven't tried 3 yet, partially because I'm iffy about the overall feel and partly because I heard you have to reload. srsly.
srsly. reloading in srs sam. LEL.

So another fucking Assassins Creed game coming out this year, whyyyyyy!?

The first one was okay and each consecutive game has been more meh than the last. But contrary to the name, they contain minimal Assassinating. If I have more fun stealthing in Elder Scrolls then I'm not going to bother.
