Let's talk about videogames.

[IRC]

The rules are simple. Talk about video games. I'll start us off.

As you might have guessed I've been playing me some Castle Crushers. Finally we have an answer to 360 vs PS3. I'm kind of shocked no one's talking about it here.

I'm not sure what game you are talking about. The game I want to play is The Force Unleased. Anyone try that game out, and is it any good?

Re: Let's talk about videogames.

There's a demo available and no it's not good.

Well, it is at first but don't let it fool you.

we had an answer from the start when microsoft decided to pay off pretty much every company to give them exclusive dlc.

anyways, i've had this craving for oldschool pc rpg's and i've been playing black isle's steaming pile known as Lionheart: Legacy of the Crusader and Realms of Arkania 2 which is probably the most indepth rpg i've played in terms of attention to detail. you can catch the flu by sleeping in the wilds under the stars. yeesh.



Oh yeah, this game has some really funny quotes. The humorous thing is that it's actually voice acted so the dudes doing the casting completely missed the grammar errors (or maybe it was intenional?).

Has anyone actually BOUGHT QUORE EPISODES off PSN? I mean cooome ooon.

The Last Guy demo was pretty fun.

Not sure about purchasing Braid.

I still might rent it. Do you think I should rent it for the PS3 or the Wii. Gamepro gave the game 3.5 stars (yes, they changed their rating system with their latest issue), which is almost about what NP gave the Wii version, which is 7.5.

The PS3 version was surprisingly boring and I can only imagine the waggle fest that the Wii version is (and after looking at videos of Dead Rising for the Wii I refuse to imagine what The Force Unleashed would look like).

The demo was pretty bad. The entire level consisted of the same 3 textures and 2 colors. It was fun flinging people around for the first five minutes but then I remembered Psi-Ops did it better and had some actual challenge and Psi-Ops is now freeware.

The little trailer they showed afterward had promise; cool level design and neat bosses. The demo? Looked and played like a developers debug room.

Re: Let's talk about videogames.

Really. How could they possibly make their main feature, Force Throw, so CLUNKY? Tinkering with both analog sticks to AIM? Are you KIDDING ME? I just wanna throw a box at a stormtrooper!! ****IN' LET ME without having to line up the shot! URRRGHHH. How could you **** up the targeting system? That ****'s been STANDARD since Ocarina of Time! TEN YEARS AGO.

Also, hack-n-slash lol

And lousy TIE Fighter explosions. Stupid enemies. ****ty logo. Dumb dash move. No objectives? Like, was I doing anything that mattered? The voice says to leave no one alive but does that even matter?

I just kept thinking of the myriad of ways to improve the game and that's when the game isn't worth playing anymore. If I - a lowly, jaded gamer - can think of all the better ways to improve the damn thing why couldn't THEY? HURK.

What about the final moment in the demo. Did not see that coming!

Re: Let's talk about videogames.

honestly, the wii remote might help the gameplay. Aiming isnt a problem with the Wii.

This idea is great!. There should be a whole forum on this site dedicated to it.


As for vidya game related talk. There's only a few things I am dedicated to in life. The other 2 being Dog noses and pretending I'm Robert downy Jr when I attend Sweet 16's.

And Dook nook'em is suppose to be coming out on XBLA in Sept. Anyone else getting it? it's got multi-player and coop!

Re: Let's talk about videogames.

I got so fed up with farce powers that I just force dashed at everyone and hacked them up. I also find it kind of weird that the spaceship equivalent of an aircraft carrier would be made up wide open hallways with tons of sweeper droids and dozens and dozens of random crates. WTF is in those hundreds of haphazardly placed crates? Twi'lek porn?

[Magus]

Re: Let's talk about videogames.

Seriously. Did you have fun spamming the dash button? Because a dash in Force Unleashed is, like, a 3 feet burst of speed? It's the friggin' Zelda roll. But worse.

HONK.

What a QTE?

Re: Let's talk about videogames.

Yup, a QTE, now Unleashed is using it. But that's not a bad thing...is it?

I too spammed Dash.
