The Video Game thread

I'll admit that I am a SpoonyOne fan, if this gets 1.5m then Richard agreed to get roasted by Noah which I want to see.

I'm not a fan of the early FF games, either. :\

I've never played I, II, III or V but IV and VI are the fucking shit. Unless you don't count them as early... I doooon't know if they have DS versions, but if they do you should pick them up!

I got about 2 hours in the game, and I got in a spot where I was stuck in a cave. I had no access to a shop to heal my guys, and I had to fight enemies when I moved. So I basically had to start over because the game was set up badly

It's easy to get yourself trapped in a corner like that if you go into things underpowered and unprepared. That's why there are save files, and save states...

The 3D remake of FFIV is the best ff ever. The only real con to get past is the anime-style art and cheesy voice acting in the [limited] cut-scenes.

The GBA remakes of IV V and VI are all outstanding and have expanded content from the originals. If the originals were 10s, these are 11s.

The NES games are unforgiving. The SNES versions are easier by comparison, but not FFV. That game is a real challenge...and FFIII (FFVI) is decently difficult as well, especially playing through the first time.

Think I'm going to start a retro-gaming thread...

Im playing dragons dogma right now. I hate it...i have no idea why i bought this game. Ive abandoned borderlands 2. It gets to me that you have to play co-op to get the good shit. If the entire point of the game is to lootquest and in single player you can go for hours and hours and not get a single piece of loot that is any better than what you already have it sucks all the fun out of the game. Theres no since of progression whatsoever.

Just get an Amplifier Shield and blitz through the game.

Im talking about loot drops not the actual difficulty of the game.

I thought Dragon's Dogma was pretty awful. I've pretty much lost all interest in Capcom games.

I thought The Witcher 2 was pretty lame, too. It's kinda similar imo.

I agree 100%. Both of the witchers were laughably bad. They tried so hard to be dark and edgy and sexual but its clear the games were written by someone with the outlook of a 15 year old. Its the same as superhero comics. The macho ubermensch bullshit just puts me to sleep. Give me spider jerusalem over bruce wayne any day.

I know, it's standard internet feedback

I'm looking into EVE online, anyone got some resources to get me on the fast track to success?

[behndy]

just picked up Spec Ops: The Line. i've heard good things. but i like movies/games/books/media that make you think or make hard uncomfortable decisions. looking forward to it.

.... but checking the PSN now to see if they have a download version of Ratch &Clank Full Frontal available. since Best Buy didna and the vija game store was closed by the time i got done dropping off rents at practice spot.

damnit.

Join a good corp. There's no fast track to anything in EVE, you'll always be playing keep-up with people who have been training for years.
Also brush up on your Microsoft Excel skills and get a comfortable chair

Pretty much this.

[behndy]

sigh. only played the first level and a half, and it looks like the newest Ratchet And Clank is a 3ps hybrid with a tower defense game.

i fucking HATE tower defense games.

i'll give it a level or two more, then i'm off to Spec Ops if it doesn't get more fun.

Tomb Raider is pretty laughably bad.

[psychedelicrelic]

Tomb Raider is pretty laughably bad.

Everything I saw lead me to believe that.

Arkham city is pretty fun, almost done with it. Getting too pro a CS:GO...too many people rage quit when I play, start using only pistols. People get so mad when I snipe them with a pistol while they're sniping.

I'm going to go back to the wii soon. Still have a couple games I want to play and those Kirby games look pretty cool.

Finds herself in a room full of decapitated body parts and piles of human remains from about 200 people -> finds killing a deer distressing

Rock Climbs up a 30 meter high cliff in a storm at night -> Gets scared by a wolf in a cave

Single side quest to find First Aid -> Swims through a rancid water passage full of corpses while having unprotected open wounds.


I know, video games. It has such inconsistent survival dynamics.

When the fuck is stick of truth coming out???
