So What Are YOU Playing?

[Kuishen]

Started Dishonored after thinking of what to play next for days. I understand that its a stealth game, but when I beheaded a guard with one swing I realized I'm going to play through it like a full-on action game.

It's not a stealth game.

Was expecting a stealth game and was supremely disappointed with what I got. It's a great game and all but it was not at all what was advertised, as far as story and especially the stealth elements.

Zero way of gauging how hidden you are, the shadows in the game give you no clue as to if you can be seen or not, you 100% need x-ray vision if you are going to do a stealth playthrough which is incredibly stupid. They introduce elements like blowing out candles to make it darker in the room in the tutorial level and then that is nowhere to be seen in the rest of the game, not that it would matter because I can't think of any area in the rest of the game that it would make a difference.

It's like they started to make it a stealth game as advertised and then said "screw it" and released it without finishing those aspects of the game.

Not to mention that 75% of your powers and gadgets are useless if you plan on being stealthy. It's almost like doing a stealth playthrough is like doing one of those self-imposed handicapped playthroughs. The game is so much more enjoyable when you aren't being stealthy and they went out of their way to do that. Compared to Deus Ex: HR which made both gameplay modes viable and fun, Dishonored is not a stealth game.

Story was completely bleh compared to what the initial trailers eluded to as well.

I still enjoyed it for what it was though and am playing through it multiple times but yeah, it could have been so much better.

There's like nobody playing Anarchy Reigns on PS3. Didn't notice many last night either. Like a damn ghost town.

I've got it, but I haven't loaded it up in some time, been busy with a bunch of other shit. Hit me up some time if you want, I'll see if I can clear an hour or two to fuck around on it.

[Oravis]

I'm up for some games on it too. Haven't played it in a week.

[Insanecyclone]

Unless I get weekend work lets do it Friday or Saturday evening/night. Going to be on it off and on to finish story mode though.

FF9, be prepared for one of the greatest experiences of your life.

I was actually about 2/3 of the way done with FF9 then ran into the fact my copy had some nasty scratches (got it free when I worked at EA, warranty return) then massive OT crunch and never got back to it due to MMO's. I'm about 90% done with the story in 12, should have that done this weekend, then I'll begin the joygasm that is 9.

Rage on PC. Picked it up yesterday at Target for $10. Not bad so far.

Sinister Skies? Haven't played there in months.

System Shock 2 for the first time thanks to GOG.

By any chance did they make the menu interfaces run at the same resolution as the 3d graphics? Bugged me seeing my monitor switch to 640x480 every time I was reading/checking something that involved the menus when I played the game quite a few years ago.

[Hitoshura]

The menus are tiny but it isn't game breaking to me, I am still enjoying it, the movement is a bit different but it's not too bad.

Yeah gonna be getting that soon. Trying to get a pirated version to work properly had me pulling out my hair about a year ago.

All depends what time of the day you play, on weekends its really easy to find matches. Also, the most popular mode is sadly Team Deathmatch, finding a lobby for something other than that is rather rare, let alone trying to fill a lobby for something else other than TDM. On top of that, majority of people that play are all higher ranks, and they'll be using the really OP abilities that makes it near impossible to kill them outside of poles, tires, and items.

Darksiders 2 decent?
Nearing the completion of the first game after I finish some clean-up. Been playing it on/off for the two years I've owned it, but it feels time to make the final push. Game has trouble gripping me, but it's gameplay is solid, and I dig the art style, so I'm considering the sequel as something to follow it up with.

Also finished the Unfinished Swan (lol), and working my way through Asshole Simulator (Walking Dead) currently. Really liking Walking Dead, more than the TV series. Just a shame Telltale Games can't optimize their engine for the life of them on their PS3 releases. Lots of unnecessary pauses to load stuff, especially during action scenes.

Dragon's Lair on PS3, downloaded from the Playstation store. Blast from the past, eight year old me plugged a lot of quarters into that arcade machine in 1983 to get absolutely nowhere. And now I see why, it's stupid hard. Although infinite lives helps quite a bit.
