So.... Its mod nation racers with that scrotum guy?

Khal, where is my Riven at?

:lol
i quit playing Riven after they changed the jungle :(

Spec Ops was really good, guys. Even if the gameplay is generic boring popup shooting and even if the final level with actual combat in it is complete trial and error shit, the story's worth it. Go play it.

Although, I should probably mention, if you're like, really into modern military shooters, I mean really into them and have a picture of a middle-eastern terrorist in a ski-mask as a dartboard and got those pro no-scope skillz are 14 years old, you probably will be pissed off by this game, because it hates you. I'm a little weirded out by the fact that it even has a competitive multiplayer mode where players kill each other for points, that seems pretty fucking hypocritical of it.

Dead Island in co-op. I always thought that this was a buggy piece of shit based on the early videos, so I kinda forgot about this. It was on sale on Steam, so I decided to give it a go. Holy shit, this is really fun! Very addictive.

i tried playing dead island co-op on ps3 and found 0 people lol

Ninja Gaiden 3 nes its so veiny

deadisland is pretty fun but it was kind of buggy. for the first couple weeks on xbox live you couldn't join anybodies game unless you both started at the exact beginning of the game.

I got Arkham City during the Steam sale. I was pretty indifferent to Arkham Asylum cause it felt like Diet Metroid with really crummy combat, but they improved just about everything. Holy shit. Only complaint is that Catwoman kinda sucks (also her steath suit is really squeaky. Not only is that not stealthy, it kinda makes her less "sexy predator" and more "creepy woman crawling around back alleys".)

I decided that my childhood was seriously lacking in Mortal Kombat, and picked up MK9 to bestow upon my younger brother. It's fucking awesome and I feel I am carrying on a grand tradition when cutting him in half with my rotating sawblade hat.

I also like how the single-player mode has you play as a whole bunch of different characters instead of just sticking to one, that way you get a little variety in gameplay and are forced to at least be decent with like half of the guys.

i guess everyone was right the old republic is going free to play till level 50

Played through Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet. A decently-fun Metroid-style game that you can tear through in about 3.5 hours, and then never play again.


Then went for Hack Slash Loot. Imagine a Rogue-like game where all you can do is attack enemies and pickup individual pieces of loot. No leveling, no skills, no inventory, no healing, no strategy whatsoever.

It might be the only time I've regretted paying $3.50 for a game.

Dungeons of Dredmor better, then?

Leagues. The devs for DoD had the opposite idea: improve on the rogue-like concept by adding features.

Still playing Day Z. Nothing but Day Z. This game is so goddamn stressful but I can't stop. Never played anything like this. Yesterday my character was finally killed by a couple of bandits who tried to rob me. I knew I didn't stand a chance, but at least I went down guns blazing. It was kind of a relief really. The more rare stuff you have, the more you worry about getting killed.

That's a mod for what game again?

Arma II. The mod itself is free and the makers are making it into a retail game. The mod is just there to show the potential and it has loads of it.

did you kill anyone before you died?

we need an imockery gang to rob people with

do you need the game to play the mod?

I got one of the robbers before I died. There were propably three or four of them and the whole thing was over in seconds. I generally try not to be an asshole towards other players, but I am starting to change my mind about that.

You need the game, but I believe there is a free version of Arma II. Don't know how that works with the mod, though. I bought mine from Steam, when it was on sale. You need the Arma II: Combined Operations pack, which includes Operation Arrowhead add-on.

I just watched a half hour of dayZ videos and it looks like a lot of walking around.

You are right. There is a lot of walking. Or driving, if you manage to obtain a vehicle. But what the videos don't show you is the atmosphere and the feeling of "being there". As survival games go, this is the shit. The learning curve is kinda steep and you are going to live for maybe 20 minutes at a time at first. But once you get the hang of it, there is no going back.

For those intrested, basic tips: trust no one, deer stands and barns are the places to loot in the beginning, Lee Enfield is also known as the "dinner bell" so careful with it, never run when standing up if near a village/town, avoid open fields, avoid airfields, learn the horrible inventory system, study this map http://dayzdb.com/map

Is there any sort of way to group up with friends? Didn't you say before it doesn't even ID players vs NPCs?

i guess a meeting point in an specific time would be the best option

WHO'S GOING TO CHERNO

ANYONE GOING TO CHERNO

LET'S GO TO CHERNO

That's what the game was like at first, but most servers have the global chat disabled. Thank god.

As for the playing in a group part, you have no way of knowing where the other players are, so you'll need Mumble/Ventrilo/Skype whatever for communication. Then just set up a meeting point. To navigate, just alt+tab from time to time and check the map I posted earlier. You can find a map in the game as well, but it is pretty rare.
