What games are you currently playing?

[coyotecraft]

Hooked my PS3 up to my laptop so I could run an update. Saw the PS store has a new look, much nicer. Bought Alundra and while I was downloading it the Hdmi stopped working. Not sure what happened, just a black screen now. Turned it off/on pulled the cables out and put them back in. Just have my TV fixed and the Cable box replaced. Now this.

 

[Mega Flare]

hdmi cables are like 5 bucks bro...

 

[coyotecraft]

I think it's the TV. But its working again.

I only played Alundra for maybe an hour. Had to redo the whole beginning, cause if you die you go back to the where you last save and so far the only save point I've seen is the room you start in. The controls are a little weird and the health display is confusing. The HUD only shows 10 health slots at a time, so once you increase it to 11 it'll show 1 slot full and the rest empty. The only way you know if you have 1 health or 11 health is a sound effect for low health.

Just finished AntiChamber ...

God

God damn




That was amazing

 

[Jason]

I want to buy Antichamber, it looks really... fucked up, but in a good way, lol.

Anyways, I've still been playing Ni no Kuni... so many good things I can say about it that I'm not going to say anything except this one thing:

If you have a PS3, you need this game in your collection.

 

[coyotecraft]

I'll probably get it in a few years when it goes down in price. It looks childish though. Isn't studio Ghibli the Japanese equivalent of Disney?

It's not very long; that's the only downside really. It's a puzzle game, so if you already know the answers you can get through the game really fast. But the fun is in figuring the puzzles out. They force you to think in a way no other game has ever really come close to (besides Portal, though even then, not as much). And though there is no story, the "ending" had me floored with amazement. It's an awesome experience. And probably fucking amazing on LSD or Ambien or something. If only I had any more of it

They have actually worked with Disney on a few films. If the animation turns you off, then you sir have horrible taste in graphic styles

On another note: Playing Fire Emblem: Awakening!~

 

[Mega Flare]

Finnaly Beat Skyrim... and my god the ending was lame... it was... nothing D:

 

[Venetia]

Yeah the ending made me give up on ever looking back at that game for months and months, despite knowing there was a lot of stuff I missed. I was so angry about the shit-ass "ending" that I deleted the character that I used when the next expansion came out, just so I wouldn't have to be reminded about how shit-awful it was.

And the last fight wasn't even hard.

Not even slightly.

WTF

 

[StrawberrySmiles]

I thought endings in the Elder Scrolls aren't supposed to be like, "awesome" because they let you roam around after that? o.o

Well

Okay no way to explain without spoilers so here's a shitload of spoilers

Spoiler: Morrowind Spoilers ... But it came out 11 years ago so really? It's a spoiler?

Okay in Morrowind, you were the Nerevarine. You defeat a GOD (Dagoth Ur). He manifests himself as a huge demon-satan-thing, in this gigantic pit of fire and lava and bones and shit. Back in 2002, this was some freaky, amazing shit. And definitely LEAGUES different from anything else you'd seen in Vvardenfell thus far.

After you get out, there are no more 6th House; no more Blight Storms, no more Dreamers, and Vivec has become mortal (unfortunately, the Cliff Racers remained). You can even DECIDE his fate. People laud you as the legendary Nerevarine -- the prophesied hero who slayed a god. Amazing.

Spoiler: Oblivion Spoilers

In contrast to Morrowind, you're some normal punk. Not anyone special reincarnated. Through a series of spectacularly lucky mishaps, you fall in possession of the task of crowning the last-known ruler of the largest kingdom in the world. During your quest, Oblivion (hell) literally breaks open. Everywhere. You become special because you figure out how to close them, and become strong enough to face down even the mightiest daedric assholes.

In the end, it is not so much a final boss that achieves the climax, but a massive war, which spills into the capital you have grown so accustomed to. It's raining fire and blood. People are flipping out. A Daedric Prince (essentially, a god), standing 20 stories tall and farting daedra, storms the city. It ends with the dude you're protecting turning into a gigantic golden dragon (Akatosh) and fucking up a 20-story-tall daedra. Which was pretty cool.

Afterward, the Imperial City is in much disarray. It's visibly changed. What's more, all the Oblivion gates are closed. Everyone who's not a bandit or cave-dwelling vampire lauds you as a hero -- the Champion of Cyrodiil. You feel accomplished, in some way. Things feel resolved.

Spoiler: Skyrim Spoilers

In Skyrim, you're the last known descendant of a line of dragonborn. You innately have all these gifts -- you're not just some sap who earns them, but you're gifted with special powers from the start, just not knowing them yet.

Anyway you fight fuckloads of dragons. Just, so many of them. Eventually, you're teleported to the land of the dead.

But the land of the dead looks like every other land. Just ... foggier. Some spirits seem lost. You find the heroes of old. They're just sort of farting about in this large hall, being lazy. Three of them come out and tell you it's time to fight Evil Dragon Man.

So you gear up and chug potions and do spells and amp yourself up. This motherfucker will be a bastard, you think.

But ... No. He's just like every other dragon. In fact, he's way easier than some of the Elder Dragons you may have fought. He barks some angry shit at you and dies. The three heroes laud you and kick you out of heaven. You get back, and nothing's different. The two old farts from the Blades thank you, and go about their business. Oh, and you HAVE to kill the last dragon -- the only one who helped you. And he's not hard, either. And he just sort of resigns without protest to dying.

You run around to other cities, and no one knows of your feats. No one cares. The end.



Lame.

Making, Playing, Making, Playing Eternia's Promise on rpg maker vx ace.

 

[StrawberrySmiles]

I see, but in my opinion those endings don't matter to me since I can just do whatever afterwards.

I like how you started with Morrowind.

Has no one played Arena or Daggerfall!?

 

[Xhukari]

I played Arena a bit... a very little bit... I couldn't get out of the prison/dungeon/sewer/whatever it was, and gave up (after several attempts) :>

I've been playing some Fable TLC, Ocarina of Time 3DS and Monopoly mainly >.>

 

[coyotecraft]

Alundra is pretty hard. I got stuck in a few places where the solution is just a really hard jump. In the Coastal Cave there is a spinning ball and chain puzzle where you need to break the pillar at just the right moment so the ball rolls to fill a gap so you can cross. Miss up and you have to exit the room and try again, took me forever.
Oh and saving is a bitch. When you die you have to redo everything.

 

[Byron]

Just finished Vanquish. Was good. Really easy, but I played on casual, so I guess it would be...
I'm glad I got to play it cause altogether it wasn't very challenging, and at the moment I just want something lax to play. It was insanely fun and the story was okay. Pretty much "Go here. Fuck shit up in your sexy power rangers suit."
GOOD SHOW CHAPS. WORTH A PLAY

 

[Meness]

Started playing Catherine. I played the first two stages and thought..."hey this isn't as bad as they make it out to be..." on the third stage "FUCK FLYING FUCK." I know it's still early on but shit I really love the intensity of the game.

 

[Mega Flare]

me want Infamous: Second Son and Killzone shadow fall now....
