spent 8 hours on dragon age today, jesus wept, good game though!

Been playing Dragon Age quite a bit too. It might be ugly as fuck, but it's got a solid dose of what made KotOR such a great game in the first place. Wonderful!

Got it on PC? Apparently the console ports look incredibly shitty compared.

Nah, got it through a Gamestop deal so it's the 360 version. I know the PC version is superior, but I prefer playing games on my console. Even when they look like old PS2 ports.

Yeah I fucking hate playing games on a PC, they're massively inconvenient compared to popping a disc inside and playing away on a bed or sofa.

It seems like such a PC game though. Getting a lot of praise, I think I'll pick it up in a couple of months.

Yeah, visually its pretty poor. I still haven't gotten really into it because I've been coming home late from work and just not really having the time. I created a rogue elf, hated all the bullshit faggot fighting so I just restarted and went with the violent human warrior Twisted Evil

I also got to take a sneak peak at Modern Warfare 2 in work...

I thought the demo was a blast, the frying pan was awesome! Big smile

I played through the L4D2 demo about 15 minutes ago. Was on the fence about buying it before (never played the first) but I probably am now.

I'm back with Lost Odyssey. It's the only 360 RPG I've really enjoyed and I just felt like playing it again, only this time to knock off the final remaining achievements.

I haven't really got anything on my buy list until Final Fantasy XIII comes out, which happily occurs 5 days after my birthday, so I should at least have the money for it as opposed to getting all my games for a shiny pound off Goozex.

I've watched some friends of mine playing Modern Warfare 2 or whatever it's called and it just didn't interest me one bit. They were doing some sort of sniper vs sniper mode and it just made me want to boot up Metal Gear Solid 3 and play against The End again.

In lieu of Dragon Age I'm getting back into Oblivion again. That game just blows my fucking face off. Being a skilled archer in the wilderness is awesome, sneaking up and killing bandits from a distance is so satisfying.

iv been thinking about picking up bioshock lately, so i may pick up the double game deal and give oblivion another chance.

gdf · by gdf on Mon Nov 16, 2009 1:02 am

If you didn't take to it first time then I doubt you will, but that boxset is a great deal.

I just played the demo for Another World. Holy fuck it's amazing. I've seen screens of it before (as well as the classic painting) and heard it discussed to an extent, but never actually investigated it. Ordering up the 2007 re-release right now.

Go for it!

bomby · by bomby on Mon Nov 16, 2009 9:54 am

well bioshock is going for 19.99 where i live, and the package deal for 24.99, so i might as well.

Battlefield Bad Company 2 beta. It's pretty awesome, I like it.

Kaptain Kaviar · by Kaptain Kaviar on Thu Nov 19, 2009 10:30 pm

Playing Ac2. So far it looks to be quite a step up, lots of variation. Liked the previous setting more though and I hate having the menus in Norwegian.

maze · by maze on Thu Nov 19, 2009 10:50 pm

Yeah the general opinion seems to be that they fixed all the flaws from the first one. Im looking forward to picking it up now, AC has so much potential.

The advert with Justice is awesome too.

Yeah I was just gonna mention that. I'll probably buy it for my birthday.

Kaptain Kaviar · by Kaptain Kaviar on Fri Nov 20, 2009 12:36 am

Managed to get menu's back in English. Much better now! Enjoying this a lot so far.

gdf · by gdf on Fri Nov 20, 2009 12:52 am

Can you get Italian language with English subtitles? I'd rather have that than fucking cheesy Mario accents.

maze · by maze on Fri Nov 20, 2009 1:09 am

^You can. I plan to play it like that too.

Kaptain Kaviar · by Kaptain Kaviar on Fri Nov 20, 2009 8:55 am

Interesting idea. I might try that, there's loads of language options.

JokerJamie · by JokerJamie on Fri Nov 20, 2009 2:57 pm

I also just started AC. It's a joy to play with Ezio. Unlike Altair he has a personality.
