I-Mockery Forum - What are you playing right now?

Beat the MW2 single player campaign. Lot of interesting set pieces, but like Oxblood said, there really isn't a story going on. Just a series of contiguous events that we are led to believe are related somehow.

I have yet to beat it but...

Spoilers!
At one point the Russians launched a nuke from a sub? Maybe not a nuke but a missile that everyone was shitting themselves over. Then it seamed to drop off and they didnt ever say what happened with it? Now when I was at this part it was like 3am saturday morning so I could have been half asleep and missed something. Anyone know?

That

was Price, not the Russians. That nuke...somehow, possibly by magic, stopped that war between Russia and the US so they could focus on Makarov...at least that´s what I think happened.

...the whole story doesn´t ever start to make sense, it´s just a messed up puddle of goo.

Yeah I knew Price went into the sub but I didnt think he was the one who launched it. I remember standing outside the sub guarding it so Russians couldnt go in after him? He was yelling at me that the silo doors were open or some shit. I got the impression he was trying to stop the launch?

AND WTF was Price doing in a gulag anyway?! How the hell did he get there and what was he doing? Didnt you go in there to get out "a guy" who Makarov hated or something? Wouldnt you know who that guy is before you went in? So you wouldnt be surprised to find Price when you went in? Good thing the missions and the multi-player is as fun as it is because the story sure isnt helping.

Price snuck aboard the sub and launched the nuke at Washington. The nuke detonates in orbit, and the resulting EMP disables all the Russian air and land vehicles, as well as every other electronic device in the city (such as your red dot and holographic gun sights). Prior to the sub mission, Price talks with Shepard about putting out oil fires by causing nearby explosions, and you see computer graphics of the nuclear missiles in the sub. The game loves to hint at what's happening with euphemisms like this. Whether doing all this was exactly Price's intention is hard to say on account of the crap writing.

I think the one yelling was MacTavish. He was like "the silo-door are opening Price! Puh-riiiiice!" and Price just said "...good." and launched the nuke...

Anyway, the multiplayer mode is a lot of fun again, but I tend to shift from fun to genuine anger (not rage, I don´t do rage with Videogames), filled with lots and lots of german and english insults and curses (which only the other two guys on the Teamspeak can her thankfully) to wondering if the world is filled with the singing english kids and american mumblers mentioned somewhere up there. OR if they come from a non-english-speaking country and just TRY to speak it...but mostly it´s the 3 year olds, yes.
Oh and then there´s the french of course. No one understands one lick of what they say and they like it that way it seems...

I have most fun playing with guys from the UK. The majority of Americans bite total ass.

OxBlood

Nov 17th, 2009 05:42 AM

I liked both...I mean the american part of the game IS a lot like C&C Red Alert in terms of setting and fun ^^

Red Alert is righteous. Speaking of which, did you happen to play the Red Alert 3 expansion?

OxBlood

Nov 17th, 2009 08:49 AM

No, I didn´t like the Campaign of RA3 that much so I passed on the expansion.

So WiiWare has a bunch of demo versions of popular games out. It only took about 3 years before they realized downloadable demos would be a good idea, but hey, better late than never, right?

The only one I've played so far is the Final Fantasy: My Life as a Darklord one, and it's basically that minigame from FF7 where you'd put a bunch of soldiers in front of Fort Condor to stop Shinra from coming in and wrecking your shit, and then you'd hope they'd get attacked in an order where they'd be effective. Only with graphics that aren't horrifying and actually let you know what the fuck's happening.

I keep meaning to get Lostwinds 2. Game looks awesome.

LittleBigPlanet came out for PSP. Been playing that. I don't have access to a PS3 during school semesters, so I'm happy to have this. And on the go, to boot!
