Defender's quest is a great game for its money. Simple tower defense game, following the KISS principle. Interesting enough conversations and humor, and distinctive in its nice ways. Grindy, but the fun kind.


Vindictus is fun, as always. Nothing that draws me back more than once or twice a week though. Wish I had money to spend so I can buy some of those crazy outfits, though.


Kingdoms of Amalur is.... Well, interesting. Lots of stuff to do. Fun colors. The gameplay is the main appeal, as expected, and it's sorta worth it. Beginning is slow, but nowhere near Elderscrolls slow. It's not exactly open world, totally oblivion, and therefore it lacks some of the immersion that the Elderscrolls brings into the genre, but it still stands as a nice GAME on its own, if not the absolute experience skyrim was. It's more fable and skyrim together with god of war gameplay than anything else. I've only played for an hour or two, but I have a distinct feeling that the more I play, the better the game is gonna feel.

Oil rush is
umm
fun. Strategic, straightforwards, rts with tower defense influence, pretty much a solid title. I've only done 3 or 4 missions, so the story hasn't really impressed me that much. Nice intro. speaking of, I'm surprised it's using as much cpu/graphics as it is (I can play crysis on really high settings at minimal lag/fps loss, but the cutscenes for this game is at 12 fps :x) Normal gameplay plays just fine though.

I'm playing some dragon age, but it's not gonna stick. Still fun.


League of legends is still my main game. It's still awesome, even after ~1300 games.

after playing uncharted golden abyss for a bit i find thats its the worse of all the uncharteds! but what do you expect... its not made by naughty dog. Though im not saying its bad. its good! best vita game ive played so far.

 

[benos]

Shadow Hearts, well it was a choice between Dark Cloud 2 though. I don't mind the battle system.

I played though and yeah, most japanese rpgs do have LBGT characters.

 

[Gubid]

Just opened up some Mario RPG on my droid. Man I miss these old SNES games.

 

[High Hopes]

I'm playing Mass Effect 2 right now, getting ready for ME3. Also reinstalled Star Wars: Empire at War Gold Pack.

Arkham Asylum

It's my first playthrough of it, I never bothered with it until a few weeks ago, and I stopped playing it when I got Soul Calibur V, but now I'm back to finish it off...

Spoiler: It's really annoying me though, I'm stuck on...

The part with the exploding gargoyles where you have to take down 7 armed guards, I can only ever get like 2-3 of them before dying -.-"

 

[Jason]

Nevermind I did it, tried a different tactic and it proved to work amazingly...

Mass Effect 3 Demo's single player is terrible. Instead of fixing neutral options to make them viable they removed them altogether, so everything you say is either red or blue. GAAAH. Also Ashley's character did a 180*, and that thing with the child is NOT poignant BioWare. Why must every video game emphasize the scale of a tragedy by killing a child on film? ughh...

The multiplayer on the other hand is fantastic, especially for something that I expected to be terribly tacked-on. The classes all complement each other with various viable builds for each, it essentially forces teamwork even on the lowest difficulty, and in general is a blast to play with that addicting "just one more" quality. I'm currently playing a (wo)Manguard and once I got the hang of it... well I'm charging into shit then biotically exploding - killing off any stragglers with heavy melee - while my team members lay down the suppressing fire. It's an amazing feeling.

The only gripe I have is the "One button does everything syndrome" - seriously spacebar does EVERYTHING - which can sometimes make controlling the character a coinflip, especially when trying to revive a dead teammate by a wall. Well, and the current gumball machine system for getting new gear... its addicting but oftentimes frustrating, though they did promise to fix it.

All in all the multiplayer may just make me actually buy the game, despite my promise to pirate it because of Origin. Fuck Origin. Yesterday I tried to play the demo with a friend; both of us sent the other a friend request, and neither of us received it. Way to make my change of heart difficult Origin.

Also... WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR? GO DOWNLOAD THE DEMO NOW!! ITS ONLY 2GB FREE AND THE UNLIMITED MULTIPLAYER ACCESS UNTIL RELEASE IS COMPLETELY WORTH IT!!

 

[Venetia]

sigh

i didn't ever ask for multiplayer in mass effect :/

i just want a rich single player experience

you can play multiplayer on any other game. and probably better. it's not special anymore.

you know what's special?

a dynamic action-rpg with an incredibly rich, storytelling, single-player experience.

13-year-olds who play better than you and taunt you about it are not fun companions.

i dont understand why they felt the need to completely start to ignore what made ME1 so fucking special

 

[Fusty]

I had no idea ME3 would have multiplayer!
Hmm, I doubt I will enjoy that part of it..

i just want a rich single player experience

Agreed.

 

[Venetia]

also fuck EA for making Origin.

why reinvent the wheel. Valve beat them to the punch with Steam, which was and is a super excellent platform for buying games and maintaining your game collection. But just because they want to squeeze every single red cent out of their shit, they introduce a platform that no one cares about except to play the shitty games they put on there.

when i signed up for it to play SWTOR, it took me like AN HOUR because it forced me to make separate logins for like EVERY FACET of both Origin AND SWTOR. It is not friendly for friend management and ... well it is just 100% unnecessary!!!

fucking stupid asshole EA

ruining game franchises when you buy studios

having terrible working conditions

laying people off for no reason

FUCK EA

 

[Hybrida]

Fuck EA for killing command & Conquer.

I'm playing command & conquer 3.

 

[Jason]

... I like EA D:

Also, just finished Batman Arkham Asylum... now to buy Arkham City sometime, lol.

Where do you keep getting all that money my friend? Aren't you same age as me (with that I mean IN SCHOOL)?

 

[Jason]

Lolwut? I finished school when I was 16, and finished college when I was 18, lol...

Also, just starting Dark Souls now, the character customisation is AWFUL compared to Demon's Souls, and I'm not sure what class to play as...

16 school? 18 college? wow in Belgium it's 18 school and "depends" college.

Pick a sorcerer, magic destroys everything in this game.

 

[Jason]

Sucks to be you then, lol.

And I've decided to start as a Thief lol

 

[Velocir_X]

a dynamic action-rpg with an incredibly rich, storytelling, single-player experience.

Is... erm... what BioWare used to be. From what I've seen of Dragon Age 2, Star Wars The Old Republic, and the singleplayer portion of the demo, those days are long gone. I just want to play through Mass Effect 3 to be done with BioWare, and I can't imagine saying anything of that sort just one year ago. Sadly, for the most part, BioWare's writing has taken a nose-dive into mediocrity.

Believe me, I didn't want multiplayer either, and I never expected to enjoy it. Ended up playing it mostly on a whim, and, seriously, give it a shot. The multi (purely co-op) is extremely tactical, and the addition of powers makes it fairly unique - hell I hardly ever shoot. The best description I've seen of it is a cross between Jedi Academy and Rainbow Six Vegas, that's right on the money. And from what I've seen on PC the community is surprisingly mature. While voice chat is built in, the vast majority of individuals don't use it, and the level of teamwork and co-ordination most random pubs display despite communicating only through actions (for some stupid reason there's no text chat) is incredible. Every full evac is a story worth telling, that's for sure.

How the community and game-play will change upon release? Dunno, don't care. I'm just here for the amazing ride the demo has given me. Seriously, fuck origin, I want that shit off my computer as soon as possible.

Okay, so still on Dark Souls, and I'm SO confused... this is why I dislike most open world games, I mean, it was easy to decide where to go on Demon's Souls, pick a world stone and off you go (Since it was hub based), but here it's like walk up a hill to one area, or use an elevator to go down to some dark scary area, so I took my chances going up the hill, fought along some bridges and whatever else, and before going through what I think was the boss gate (It was white fog, it's horrible compared to the cool fog effect on Demon's Souls, infact, all the graphics seem to have taken a big hit...) I opened a door with my Master Key, and all that was in the room was a LONG LONG LONG LONG LONG spiral staircase, when I finally get to the bottom, some dude, built like a brick shit house, with huge armour and a huge club thingy that was BIGGER THAN MY CHARACTER comes charging at me... naturally I did what anyone would, ran for my life, and kept looking behind me and he was still chasing me, I ran for AGES and he was still there, until eventually I gave up, got to a hillside with a big drop, which would hopefully kill him if I could kick him off or something, but he hit me once and I died... my plan didn't work too well... now I don't EVER want to go near that door again! D:

 

[Jason]

I also lost like 5,000 souls from dying to him, and I can't get them back since I can't even find the blood stain... not much in terms of souls but at low level they could've helped me with stats, but I'll probably end up caving in and doing the infinite soul glitch or something... I didn't use it on Demon's Souls and got to SL 328, I was quite proud actually, but this time I'm just going to say fuck it, lol... (And yeah, even though they patched the glitch out, I'm still at v1.00, didn't update just incase lol...)
