Board 8 > transience's video game topic - presented by nottransience [games][topic][gn]

(+) Yeah! (+)

I wouldn't do more than ten. my thing this year is I played a bunch of games but never bothered to finish them. I don't want to rank Catherine based on playing 75% of it, even if I have a good handle on how I feel about the game.

I'm probably going to do mine the last week of the year, starting just after Christmas probably. I'll have time then and it gives me a chance to finish up a few more games in the mean time.

maybe it's different for you, but if I don't finish a game, I usually blame the game for not being good enough, and feel justified in talking about it still >_>

omg did u red text from last night dats so me LMAO : )
im not a slut i jus liek 2 haev fun LOL : )

well, my issue is time. I spend 10 hours a day back and forth to work and then I come home to family. I might get 2 hours of game time on a good day. your average 8-10 hour game will take me 2-3 weeks to complete.

cinematic games are so not my thing lately. pick up and play or bust.

Alright, I don't know about a sign-up schedule for making a top 10 list. I don't think every single person has to have the spotlight for a week or anything!

Edit - Assuming someone was thinking about making a topic on the board, because that would be insanity. You'd have like 20 people and that's no good. It's different when three or four people decide to coordinate things so they don't get posted at the same time!

I don't think anyone needs a week, but a day or 2 might be a good idea!

I won't step on Kleenex or transience's shoes when it comes to lists, but I'm not waiting for someone I don't know to finish their list if it's a good time for me!

Love is better than anger. Hope is better than fear. Optimism is better than despair. So let us be loving, hopeful and optimistic. And we’ll change the world.

isn't that the truth

take solace in the fact that, when we played through that map, I suggested wedging the cube in the door, only to see him take the cube at the last second into the room.

jerk.

i made up for it by killing him as often as possible. in every game.

I'm too tired to drive anywhere, anyway, right now, do you care if I praise Black Turtle?
Call me numbers.

playing through portal 2 co-op with numbers increased my liking of the game by 100%

icon we'll have to do this sometime

I'm seeing conflicting reports that Nintendo is possibly withholding the 3DS Ambassador GBA titles until next year

Donny: Are they gonna hurt us, Walter?
Walter: No, Donny. These men are cowards.

I'm a few hours into "To the Moon".

I'm really liking it. I think the strongest part of the game is the music, I think it pulls you into every scene, and makes each scene have that much more impact.

Also, ever since Act 2 started, the game's plot gets really interesting. In Act 1 it was fine, but kind of progressing in a predictable manner, now I have no idea what to expect next.

Started playing Outland yesterday. Just beat the Golem boss. Even got the trophy for beating a boss without getting hit!

Fun game so far. Nice physics, just feels good to play.

Trailer for Sumioni, one of the more unique Vita games.

"When I was a young man, I had liberty, but I did not see it. I had time, but I did not know it."

Just got my first...magic spell thing. This game feels hectic when it starts throwing a bunch of light and dark at you, but it feels good when you manage to do it right.

"Hold on a minute! That testimony stinks!"
"Witness! You can't just say 'Hello' and expect us to get anywhere! I want you to testify!"

this looks like a pretty cool game.

A hare like me couldn't catch up to Black Turtle.

Portal 2 DLC completed.

Also, the DLC is the best thing ever.

Portal 2 co-op is something special. You haven't completed Portal 2 until you've completed co-op.

I'm pretty serious about chocobos.

Agreed. I think the co-op is actually better than the single player, which is a feat.

also, nice account.

--
"When I was a young man, I had liberty, but I did not see it. I had time, but I did not know it."

I'd like to play Portal 2 co-op sometime, but my laptop sometimes struggles to run it as it is. I dunno if I'd get lag on the co-op or what.

Playing through El Shaddai right now. It's like 2011's Nier, only with a much better style and higher production values. Great soundtrack.

--
"When I was a young man, I had liberty, but I did not see it. I had time, but I did not know it."

Hmmm, Nier, there's a game I ought to play someday.

Assassin's Creed came in the mail today.

It was packaged with 3D glasses for some reason.

how's Outland going, Leon? your post made me want to play it pretty bad so maybe I'll start up a game tonight.

ACR yessir. Are you finished with ZELDA? Brace for some real excellence.

--
"When I was a young man, I had liberty, but I did not see it. I had time, but I did not know it."

Pretty good. I'm having fun with it. Has anyone done co-op with Outland or anything? I might be up for some co-op sometime once I beat the main game!

Also gotta start up ACR sometime soon, too! Probably after I finish up my FFT playthrough.

--
"I can set you free, mate."
"My freedom was forfeit long ago!"

yeah, Nee and I did some co-op. it's fun, and mean. it's also laggy though and not a great experience.

just beat Jungle. love this game.

Almost done with Zelda, need to do a bit of last minute prep, then just have the final boss left. AC:R will happen this weekend.

--

Lookin' forward to more people finishing the game so we can get some discussion going. Lots of good stuff in the game.

--
"When I was a young man, I had liberty, but I did not see it. I had time, but I did not know it."

it seems like that game is bombing compared to previous ones. I saw an xbox live activity list that put Saints Row above it. on this site it's struggling to stay in the top 10.

Well, the multiplayer isn't much of a hook for most people. It's slow paced and isn't flashy, so you're not going to keep people playing that way. This site has bad opinions, so it happens!

--
"When I was a young man, I had liberty, but I did not see it. I had time, but I did not know it."

this site is pretty high on Assassin's Creed, all things considered!

--

Just to clarify, I'm not a big fan of AC's multiplayer either, so I'm not knocking people who don't like it. I think AC MP would be better served as co-op doing missions instead of competitive.

--
"When I was a young man, I had liberty, but I did not see it. I had time, but I did not know it."

I think AC's multiplayer is great!

--

It's alright in doses. I can't play it for too long before I get a little fed up with it.

Just beat the High Priestess boss fight. Didn't like that one too much. A little too repetitive.

I'm a big sucker for fights like that. I LOVE the "falling down chasm, keep platforming and fighting!" gameplay idea. Its such a dynamic way to design a boss fight, keeping you on your toes as the environment is constantly changing, an adding another element you have to take care of. Two of my favorite games of the year do this, Outland and Hard Corps: Uprising.

--
It will launch for $350 with some Wii Sports s***. I bet my life on it. Damn, that KoolAid guy is awesome - NGamer64

Eh, I would've enjoyed it more if it wasn't basically "Hit me a few times and avoid a hand, switch colors and jump to the other side and do it all over again."

The part where she was summoning those huge blasts of light/dark was pretty cool, but it only happened like twice.
