What games are you playing ?

[Punk_FAS]

anyone here plays or played minecraft?

I have read a good bit about it, and have seen some hilarious in-game videos.  Still haven't taken the plunge though.  Doubt I will anytime soon, if I do, though it does look like it could be quite engrossing, at least for a while.

On the old 8-bit Master system you could choose two games that were built into the bios.

Snail Maze and Hang-On (motorbike version of Outrun)

This system did 3D way before you saw it in Avatar. I miss playing california games

Fallout: New Vegas (PC)

I haven't run into any game breaking bugs yet (by the time I got it down steam a lot were patched already) and all told the game is enjoyable and fairly good looking for the age of the engine. The game world that I've seen so far is fairly vast, and it's not overly busy with enemies like FO3 so it has a bit of the desolate feel of the original games, along with a much more western look to the landscape.

I played for a couple hours last night to try stuff out and feel out the combat and some of the other game mechanics..
Seems similar to FO3 in some ways, but the freehand shooting is actually kind of effective, even for a low lvl char, so I'm not forced to use VATS constantly. I was able to 1-shot snipe a couple of coyotes freehand from a good 200 yards out using the iron sights on the low lvl varmint rifle, after what was probably 20 minutes of dicking around and practicing with it. The sidearms I have so far are also fairly effective in combat, and I've already repaired/reconditioned a couple of pieces of armor and 1 pistol using the crafting/repair skill.

after 2 quests or so, I can't really comment on the depth of the writing/plot, but the characters are more believable than in Bethesda's atrocity by orders of magnitude, and the NPCs aren't all incredbily ugly. The movement animations are believable (no more roller skate running) and the AI of the NPCs and enemies seems slightly better than the average "run at you shooting" sort.
I was also quite surprised that I was able to make a character that didn't look completely homogenous and fugly with the character creation screen in the beginning.
It's also nice to see the return of 'traits' in this game, which allow for further stylizing your character beyond skills and stat points.

The game will probably take a very long time to complete (without hints or walkthroughs) because of the variety of locations and quests and I really like the lack of handholding beyond the initial sequences.. When you first walk out into the world, you pretty much have a couple people that you know of to go talk to for information, and infinite choices as to what you'll actually do from that point forward. (you could ignore them compeletely and just go marching off into the wastes)

As much as I hate to see money travelling in Bethesda's direction (Oblivion developed the game, but Beth's name is slapped all over it) I would recommend it to anyone who likes western 3rd person/fps style RPG games.

I can't wait to go home, smoke a bowl and log some more hours. It had me dreaming last night of rifling through people's empty houses gathering items to make into weapons and/or sell, with only a couple hours under my belt.


That gets 2 thumbs up from the Derv:

My wife and I have been spending some time playing Super Mario Wii. In the time that we've had it, we've probably beaten it 4 or 5 times. But in all the times that we beat it, we only JUST found out a secret for 2 players.

If 2 players pound the ground at the EXACT same time, it causes a POW-like shock wave that kills some enemies. It won't kill most normal enemies, but things like the long legged plants on world 5 are easy prey for it's mighty power!

Golden-COD by activision


I KNEW that activision does not have the physical capacity to live up to anybody's expectations, but this was a kick in a nuts and a creepy old man trying to steal some of my childhood dreams:

#1 they are changing the plot to a MOVIE!!!!!
#2 They replaced Brosnan with Craig... CHANGING THE MOVIE!
#3 It plays exactly like a call of duty, except your bond.. well sort of.
#4 No hit locations except headshots... Yes for the game that INVENTED hit locations, they removed all hit reaction to anything except head shots.


Gotta run, but this list goes on.

BURN IN HELL ACTIVISION


Oh and merry christmas everyone else

Ghost Busters - The Video Game -

The game play is pretty generic and cookie cutter but everything else is absolutely amazing. The humor, the music, the art style, the storyline, the entire atmosphere is perfect for fans of the original movies.




...And did I mention it's 2-player?

Ya GTA 4 is like the best game for the Xbox 360 IMO.
