resistance 2 again

man i really like that game but it is a little bit short, hopefully resistance 3 is longer.

We should do some co-op on it, I need quite a few of the co-op trophies anyway D:

But yeah it was pretty short, but the campaign is pretty amazing.

Can't wait for Resistance 3!
 
Just Cause 2. One of my favorite sandboxes out right now. Using a grappling hook to attach two civilians together? Check. Using that grappling hook to attach a car to an airplane? Check. Standing on top of an airplane with a rocket launcher and blowing down other aircrafts? Check.

Yeah it's a fun game, but I seriously think there's more to be done on Saints Row 2, the only advantage Just Cause 2 has, is that the world is HUGE, and looks absolutely beautiful ona PC with everything set to highest. But as far as things you can do, it's pretty empty, although the things you CAN do are really fun so it doesn't matter. I mean, I LOVE just swinging around using the grapple and my parachute, it's much faster than using a car...
 
Still playing Demon's souls, Finished the whole game co-op with a friend (he took his PS3 with him so on the start of every level we summoned each other).

This is really awsome, and a great way to gain some souls, I've reached Soul level 136 today and my stocpile is fileld with about maximum of each grass/arrow. I think I'm gonna start grinding some ore's to get some weapons at there maximum strenght.

Also black phantoms are getting irretated (seems they aren't that stupid anymore, they don't blindly rush into firestorm anymore :(..)

Also does someone know what it means if the character statue on the tendency page is giving a bright blue light? (I think its pure white character tendency, but If it is I don't have an idea how I got it knowing I killed like... everyone? before I finished the game for the first time).

Played on MAG earlier for the first time in a while actually, levelled up twice in an hour, that's a new record for me, lol. They've updated Directives to give +100% exp, that's nice to be honest, gives me more incentive to join a random gametype, lol. Can't wait for Move to come out since I'll be playing MAG with it, yay!
 
I'm helping a friend debug a Final Fantasy VII platformer he's making for school. Imagine Mario with real combat and FFVII characters. It's actually pretty fun (and funny). You get to the part with Aeris and it says "Your girlfriend is in another temple-- Oh wait, that's right, she's dead."
 
no not at all actually turns out it was my fault b/c i hadn't updated my address w/ them and i thought i had so they sent to the wrong address ;x
they just sent me another one today no problems though (and didnt charge me anything btw)
there;s a distribution center in tampa so i usu get the game's within like a day.
they have i think 4 of them spread out over amerka

anyway apparently blockbuster has started a game mailing system to rival gamefly where they mail games (AND movies, ala netflix);
it's about $10 cheaper/month. (for games AND movies not just games)
i dont know how good they are so im waiting a bit to see what people say but if they're good im switching because...
shit its cheaper

whoa, that sounds nice. netflix has been a major pain lately so that's sounding pretty appealing.

Meh, I'm weird and like to own my games, especially only on physical media, I can't stand digital distribution and I sure as hell won't be buying into it anytime soon.

Speaking of which...

MY GAMES STILL HAVEN'T COME WHAT THE FUCK SERIOUSLY?!

I ordered them last Saturday, and it's meant to take 3-4 working days, that's Wed-Thur... they didn't come. I was like, oh maybe Friday then, guess what... didn't come. And today two packages came in those padded envelopes, and felt like bluray cases, shook them and heard discs rattle, I was like WOO THEY'RE HERE!

So like a fucking madman I ripped 'em open...

Great.

Dad ordered two bluray films.

Niiiiiiiiiice.

Seriously, if those games aren't on the floor by my letterbox on Monday morning, I'm demanding my money back, this is bullshit.
 
Gamefly isnt digital distribution you still get a phys copy it's just ... you send it back when you're done w/ it. you can keep them as long as you want and they offer deep discounts and coupons and shit if you feel like buying it and not sending it back. also if you buy it they send you the new unused cover and booklet.

so it can be either 'rent' or 'try b4 you buy'
either way you get it cheaper than you would get in a store and if it sucks you dont have to buy it.
 
I was on the gamefly hype for awhile, but then realized that I really needed to penny pinch and I had a stack of my own games that needed to be played through. So I temporarily cancelled my account. sad panda

i think you're getting a little worked up here! you never know what kind of unexpected problems and complications can arise in the world of mail. just be patient :|

also, we don't get gamefly in canada, but we do have something called game access, which is pretty much the same service. i'm wondering if i should try it out. i'm not much of a gamer (i play about 2-10 hours a week depending on if i have a new game) but there's a lot of games i want to try but not buy. is it worthwhile to sign up if i play through a game in, say, two or three weeks? i don't think i'll be doing it often but i don't want to be paying monthly if i'm not getting any games.
 
man dragon age has a shallow ass story with basically "oh shit people close to you die two or three times" as twists. battles take for fucking ever, but in the end isn't as much as final fantasy or every other rpg- they just take forever. bugs all over the fucking place, and there are like exactly 2 guides out there for this.

amazing game, damn.
 
Dragon Age is one of the few RPG's my gf has played and completed. I hate mid-evil crap so I won't touch it. I do plan on getting her the sequel when it comes out. It makes me happy when she plays. :D
