Mevvrynne Posted October 16, 2014 Posted October 16, 2014 I couldn't play evil within and keep my sanity, not because it was scary but rather because it both bored the living crap out of me and frustrated me to no end. The "horror" aspects get reused to a saturation point where you actually get used to it, and the actual "combat" was as exciting as a sloth climbing a tree. Btw the random item generation and lack of any hints whatsoever in the progression of the game makes it incredibly evil to the person playing, no this cannot be argued as a "hardcore" game, not when you can literally kite an entire floor's enemies in a circle for 15 minutes because you have no means of possibly killing them or even defending yourself after using the 6 damn bullets you had at the start and the other 2 that you found because the item generation is complete bollucks. I would not recommend playing the game on PC purely because of it's inherent technical problems (i.e. the natural lock to 30 fps and black bars on large resolutions). I definitely do not value the game at $60, probably more like $10 Alien isolation on the other hand is something I'd recommend in a heartbeat to any fans to the Alien franchise, as I believe it takes place between the first and second movie? The gunplay feels great, the story....while it is decent it makes up in how horrifying the Alien is if you're at a part involving avoiding it. Also....dem robots is freaky man, I was honestly more scared of those damn robots than I was in the entirety of Evil Within. As far as what I'm playing now, going back to Tomb Raider since a lot of my friends bought it during the sale and we've been playing a lot of multiplayer. Quote

hydro Posted October 16, 2014 Posted October 16, 2014 Mainly been playing Smash Bros 3DS lately, my platinum trophy escapades on Xillia 2 have been put on hold. My copy of Drakengard 3 arrived, so I'll probably start that too before going back to Xillia. The Evil Within just gives off this charm that I love. Actiony horror games with weird enemies and cheesy voice acting is right up my alley. Also the gun play is really fun for me. Now for Alien Isolation I found that game boring as hell. i am a huge scardey cat (RE:5 scares me) so when anything chases me its scary as a mother ****** but other than that, from what I have played, it just wasn't for me.

solidbatman Posted October 16, 2014 Author Posted October 16, 2014 Ended up going the cheap[er route and bought the Xcom Complete pack since its on sale. Don't like the way Enemy Unknown ran (very choppy) on PS3, so PC should work better. Quote
Kurisu-Chan Posted October 16, 2014 Posted October 16, 2014 A game like this is clearely made for PC. Quote
Funyarinpa Posted October 16, 2014 Posted October 16, 2014 I feel stupid. I've had Bioshock 1 for around two years now and never once did it occur to me that in fact I had not changed the resolution. THe game'd been looking shit all that time because I had not fixed the resolution... It's on 1600 x 900 now and boy, it's still pretty. Quote
solidbatman Posted October 17, 2014 Author Posted October 17, 2014 And after buying XCOM I ended up sticking Atelier Ayesha into the PS3 and now I'm hooked. LiquidShu 1 Quote
Funyarinpa Posted October 18, 2014 Posted October 18, 2014 I'm starting to like Mass Effect. I'm shit at combat and combat is unsatisfactory for some reason and my comrades keep getting incapacitated, but overall it feels like I'm slowly getting through a big, meaty story. I like it. IS it possibie that The Citadel is a reference to System Shock? Quote

I'm shit at combat and combat is unsatisfactory for some reason and my comrades keep getting incapacitated, but overall it feels like I'm slowly getting through a big, meaty story. I like it. I found the combat in the first ME to have its own charms, but that's mostly because of a combination of how broken Adept's can be and the harder difficulties. The story is obviously the main appeal. Plus, the vehicle controls are just so damn wonky that its almost fun. Quote
Kenshin_sama Posted October 22, 2014 Posted October 22, 2014 My brother convinced me to pick Runescape back up. I always valued the charm the game had with its simple point-and-click combat, but the game kinda killed things off for me with EoC. Monsters died faster, but it didn't feel the same. Well, now they've added in a new feature where your abilities are triggered automatically within the 1st 9 slots and you don't have to key them in anymore. The specials and ultimates don't trigger automatically, but I don't mind using only 2 buttons. This game is a lot less frustrating to play than it use to be, and skills level a lot faster too. The quests are still the main enjoyment for me (some of them are even voiced). Quote
nohman Posted October 23, 2014 Posted October 23, 2014 The Pokemon Demo.....repeatedly. What's it entail, anyway? The idea of a Pokemon demo seems kinda weird to me. Quote

Stray Cat Posted October 23, 2014 Posted October 23, 2014 What's it entail, anyway? The idea of a Pokemon demo seems kinda weird to me. Basically, you're thrown in Mossdeep City, choose an overpowered starter, beat some admins and get a Glalie with a megastone. The Glalie can be transferred to the main game. After that, you can keep doing random little missions with battles (I've done 6 so far) to transfer items to main game (pokeballs, heartscales, etc.) Quote
nohman Posted October 23, 2014 Posted October 23, 2014 (edited) Basically, you're thrown in Mossdeep City, choose an overpowered starter, beat some admins and get a Glalie with a megastone.

That's actually enough incentive for me to actually play the demo then. I hadn't planned on it since I would be getting ORAS anyway, and Pokemon is Pokemon, but that Glalie pretty much seals the deal. EDIT: I missed my chance to say seels the deal.

Mevvrynne Posted October 23, 2014 Posted October 23, 2014 Patch 2.4 is coming out next week for Final Fantasy XIV, probably the biggest and most anticipated patch so far. The patch includes the ending of the Binding Coil of Bahamut raid, the new class/job Rogue/Ninja and new Primal boss fight Shiva as well as new dungeons Snowcloak Plains, Sastasha Seagrot (Hard), Sunken Temple of Qarn (Hard). As soon as servers come up I'm starting my non-stop grind to unlocking the newest wing coil and leveling up Ninja to 50, can't wait to compare it's numbers to Monk. Quote

Just so people know, you can play the demo 10 times and get rewards, the last two being heart scales. After that you can still play it but there are no more rewards. nohman 1 Quote
solidbatman Posted October 23, 2014 Author Posted October 23, 2014 Playing Alien Isolation, Atelier Ayesha, and Disgea 4. Loving all 3. Quote
bl3u Posted October 23, 2014 Posted October 23, 2014 Playing Hatsune Miku Project Diva: F And I love it. Quote
solidbatman Posted October 23, 2014 Author Posted October 23, 2014 Playing Hatsune Miku Project Diva: F And I love it. I have such a love hate relationship with that game. I absolutely love it, and its addicting, but I hate how much I rage at it when I miss a note, or a scratch note doesn't register on the Vita back pad. Quote
Kurisu-Chan Posted October 23, 2014 Posted October 23, 2014 Replaying Command and Conquer Generals Zero Hour, any C&C fans here? I have played every command & conquer game(of course there's no C&C 4!) SilverLi 1 Quote
