Now gaming

Hello. I post this topic to share our experiences from last playing video games.

I played Mass Effect which i think is pretty awesome. Enjoyable heroic plot and nice universe, romances, very nice combats and awesome Unreal 3 engine. [With the lost of a team member, i cried first time since Torment ;)]. Another good game from the Bioware.

Vampire: the Masqueade - Bloodlines. A little forgotten, a little underrated and a little too buggy. But, even though great cRPG game with possibility of being a vampire from Camarilla clans. Many ways to reach final destination, side quests, meeting Caine, 5 endings and state of official beginning of the Gehenna. And probably the only one cRPG in FPP i enjoyed.

Crysis: Warhead. Too short, too small, but still great, if some1 liked original Crysis.

And now i play VtM - Redemption. Far worse than Bloodlines and generally not a cRPG game (yet, maybe it's if some1 consider hns as the cRPG subgenre). A lot of disciplines but lack of consversations and freedom that was felt in Bloodlines. It'd be great, if there were more ways of living in the game world, but even though - enjoyable and nice to play.

Beside that, Team Fortress 2, which is very funny for mplay, Zombie Panic mod, which is great for undead fans and Crysis Wars. There is no room for '2' in the world of 1's and 0's, no place for 'mayhap' in a house of trues and falses, and no 'green with envy' in a black and white world.

I don't get what your saying. Are you asking our liked games or what noticable experiences we have had with games?

And not to nitpick much, but I thought Torment was Black Isle that ran on Infinity(Bioware).

I meant to write in this topic about the video games we played or been playing lately. About Torment - it was made by BI. There is no room for '2' in the world of 1's and 0's, no place for 'mayhap' in a house of trues and falses, and no 'green with envy' in a black and white world.

Torment. Loved it. Discovered it years after it came out, I had never read anything about it and after playing it I thanked the mighty gaming gods that I picked up that gem. I was unemployed at the time and pretty much played it every waking moment until I had beaten it. My friends would pop by and try to get me to hang out or go out to the bars and I would just look up at them and say "you don't understand.... the torment."

Bloodlines: I didn't have a computer when that came out (don't ask, I go through caveman beard-cultivating Luddite phases) but just recently bought it on Steam and loved it. Classic. Now I've got to hunt down Temple of Elemental Evil. I'm pretty burnt out on D&D system games but Troika's Arcanum and Bloodlines are some of my favorite games, I'd like to see their take on Dungeons and Dragons. I regret I didn't buy bloodlines and ToEE when Troika was still alive, but hey I bought Arcanum twice :) (lost a disc)

Currently playing Wizardry 8, Fallout 2, The Witcher, and occasionally I'll pick up Wasteland and slice a few waste bums into scarlet sides of meat with me proton ax

Well I've played quite a few games recently, and It's been pretty expensive(Games in Australia cost a lot :()

Ok first off, Far Cry 2(Pre ordered it)(PS3) - Ok first off, I never got around to playing Far Cry 1 before but I didn't think it really matted.

The First cut screen was great, I like the open world feel and I loved the graphics. I got the feeling that Far Cry 2 was going to be a really "epic" game, but that all changed once the cut scene was over, as soon as I got to start playing I didn't really like the movements from the POV camera but I wasn't to worried about that, but to save time I'm just gonna cut the the chase about the game.

It was too big, things were set too far out example being, The Main mission on one side of the map and the buddy mission on the other, which is really annoying when you have leave soon lol and I probably won't play the story mode again which doesn't sound good for the repeatability., the best bit of the game has to be the map editor though, I haven't really used them before but this one was easy to use, useful and just plain and simple good. My final thoughts on the game, It's more or less a game that you either rent or play it at a friends house, Oh and one more thing about this game THERE IS NO CUSTOM SOUND TRACKS FOR THE PS3!!!!!! RAWR!!!!(That's a bad thing...)

Saints Row 2 (Pre ordered it)(PS3) - I only played saints Row one for a small amount of time(An hour, if that) but I herd from a few people that this was a must have for any GTA:SA fan(like who isn't?), so I picked up a copy of it the other day. First thoughts about the game are, the graphics don't really look that good but the game play might make up for it. an hour later, I kinda like it, the best thing so far is the ability to throw people around and pepper spray lol. A day later, ok I've had a nuff', the game play is pretty good but the game feels a little buggy and the game play doesn't really make up for the graphics and buggyness. So I kinda didn't like it that much, I mean the character customization is great and all but it's still no gta game, it still has some work to be done.THERE IS NO CUSTOM SOUND TRACKS FOR THE PS3!!!!!! RAWR!!!!(That's a really bad thing for this game...)

Smack Down Vs Raw(Brother pre ordered it) (PS3) - I played 08 for about a week when it came out and I didn't really like it that much, so this year when my brother got 09 I thought it would of been way better, but guess what? It still feels the same to me, I know they have added a heck of a lot(??) this year, but I still thing it could be better, the custom sound tracks(yay!) is a little buggy in entrances for the "superstars" that have a lot of things going on in the backgrounds and it sounds a little like what lag sounds like online when someone is speaking or playing music on a shitty connection(!!) lol, so again this year I didn't really like it.

Fallout 3 (PS3) - I haven't really finished fallout 3 yet as I've had a few things to do(and play(I got LBP on the same day : D)) but what I've got from it so far is that it's pretty good.

Little Big Planet (Pre ordered it) (PS3)
- YAY! IT'S OUT OMFG YAYAYAYAYYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYYAYAY... ok that's the fan boy part out of the way, now for the rest, I haven't really played this as much as fallout 3 but so far I feel that it's pretty good(Haven't checked if there were custom sound tracks).


There are other games that I played but I won't talk about them as of yet. ( 8-))

Fallout 3 on PS3? Heard, that it's pretty buggy there. PC version has some not finished quests or smth that you must finish (or make them finishable) via console, so i dunno how that would be on PS. Even though, pretty good game, but a little boring. And because of the newest PES it's play is being delayed. There is no room for '2' in the world of 1's and 0's, no place for 'mayhap' in a house of trues and falses, and no 'green with envy' in a black and white world.
