So What Are YOU Playing?

[Sol-Blackguy]

Still crafting on Dofus with some Madden practice on the side.

Also got into a huge Shadowrun (SNES version) discussion with some friends and now I want to play the genesis version again. If I do, I'll probably challenge myself by playing as a Gator Shaman or as a Samurai and not going into the matrix. (unless it's to advance the story)

Put a good 12 hours into Fallout 3 recently, and currently on the huge grind of doing all the side-quests (well, all but one since I kinda accidentally rambo'd one of the quest givers, so I'll be doing a separate run for that for the trophy), collecting bobbleheads, and killing shit for my trophies before I trigger the final story mission.

Really enjoyable game, other than it being dick easy on Normal difficulty, and it locking up here and there on my PS3.


I also picked up Crysis Maximum Edition recently (which includes Crysis/Warhead/Wars), and have been enjoying it greatly. Aside from it running like shit on my rig (unsteady 10-15fps @ 1680x1050 with a mix of med/high settings), I'm loving it. Haven't played an FPS in awhile where the AI don't all possess an All-Seeing-Eye, I can actually stealth about, which was one of my main pet peeves with Far Cry.

Feels good getting cloak on, sneaking right into an enemy base unnoticed, putting C4 on the objective, sneak out, then let the fireworks fly without using a single bullet. Glad the game (so far) ended up not feeling like a tech demo.

Wait until you start running into Mirelurk Hunters and Deathclaws at regular intervals. Or if you really want to see how easy it is, go to the Deathclaw Sanctuary Hated that fucking place.

finally got around to renting infamous, what a shitty game that was. Decent ideas surrounded by poor execution, terrible storytelling, and bugs/glitches. bleh.

Some of us are still waiting to hear about this, lol.

They really aren't a problem at all. The only things that gave me trouble were the Ghoul Reavers that only appeared if you had Broken Steel installed. Man those things were a pain in the ass, and vicious.

[Brill Weave]

Ugh I forgot about them. They suck regardless of what weapon you're using.

[Kaisha]

Glad I'm not bothering with the DLC packs until I'm done my quest/bobblehead farming, which should leave me at around level 24-25 at the rate I'm gaining XP.

Mirelurks give me no trouble, but god, fuck Deathclaws. Can't backpedal fast enough to dodge them safely, gets annoying timing my VATS just to abuse being invincible while I let my AP play out.

Will be looking forward to the new locals though. Base area of the game starting to get a little stale looking after 30 hours of gameplay, although I give Bethesda props for trying their best at making each area have their own little feel to it, whether it be a weather change, or the formation of the rocks, or plain ol' monuments you can see from a mile away.

You're playing GOTY version which has the packs already in the disc, no? The harder Broken Steel mobs will still appear even if you aren't on to the Broken Steel missions. They'll start appearing around Lv20+ roughly. I completed the game before and post Broken Steel, and they definitely made some missions more harder as they'll appear in place of other easier mobs. Albino Scorps aren't too bad, but the Feral Reavers and Super Mutant Overlords can be.

[Kyo]

I havent played the GOTY, but I put over 300 hours into the game pre DLC, I need to pick up the GOTY, I should have a few weeks back when best buy had it on sale for $40.

[Hitoshura]

GameFly'd Bayonetta on PS3, now I know I am getting my money's worth because I probably would have paid full price for this gimped piece of garbage. You know shit like this could fly back in 2007/2008 with PS3, but we live in the year 2010. There is no fucking excuse, especially considering this is a JAPANESE developed game.

Aside those issues, it can be a fun game. Oh and fuck those quick time events, this isn't 2005 anymore.

[Kyo]

Gotta love that sega.

Yeah, GOTY acts essentially as if I had download and installed all 5 DLC, it's virtually identical to the non-GOTY copy, other than the game taking extra time during the first load up for it to dump 6.7gb worth of content onto my HD.

Have to say I do prefer their method to 'installing' than other games, even though it made for little oddities my first 15min of gameplay.
(primarily the game not syncing lips and audio properly)

Shame to hear they'll appear regardless of me having not initiated any of the DLC quests.
(although I had to say I had an Oblivion moment when I first exited Vault 101 and got spammed with quests, just like I did when I Knights of the Nine installed >.> )

Jeez, 300 hours, wtf were you doing? I could see myself maybe spending 80 hours if I didn't use a guide (mainly trodding about the map finding the bobbleheads and the behemoths) for trophy completion sake, but otherwise there really doesn't seem much to do in FO3, unlike Oblivion which is gigantic in comparison in terms of content.

I got lucky on my purchase, grabbed GOTY for $29 back around Xmas, last copy, and finding it was by accident since I was actually visiting said store to grab a copy of Motorstorm: Pacific Rift which was advertised for the same price, to which none were in stock. ;/
(good thing I did miss it though since my local Walmart had it for $19 two weeks later >.> )

Was the main reason I held off on buying Fallout 3, since I knew Bethesda would do a GOTY compilation with all the crap. Saved myself from spending $60 + $50 of DLC, at the cost of waiting nearly a year to play the thing.


Still a little pissy that I get to replay part of the game because I messed up the slaves quest. Well, least I thought ahead when I started the game made a dedicated save before leaving Vault 101 to skip all that intro tutorial crap.

I hated Infamous, loved Prototype.

I rerolled a few times, once after having put 50 hours into it and I never did complete it either, I spent alot of time exploring and doing side missions. Also did an evil/good/neutral playthrough, started them but never finished typical Red ring story, went ahead and got a PS3 and just have yet to pick it back up.

No urge to play fallout. never played the old ones, and something about seeing a carrier used as a haven to hobos doesn't do it for me.

[Kaisha]

What other game lets you kill hobos though?
