I believe it was a SCAR-H with extended mag. we were playing ground war deathmatch on skidrow, and the other team decided to do all shields. but it could be worse, I could be this guy: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warmaker Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 Star Wars Mod + COD4 = Star Wars: Galactic Warfare Something that came to my attention a few weeks ago.

VFTF1 Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 Video games huh? I was into those back when Nintendo Entertainment System was out. I got one and had lots of games. I loved the Super Mario Bros. games, and I remember being really psyched about playing the WWII air combat game Sky Shark (it was such an andrenalin rush!) Strangely enough - nowadays the only games I can get excited about are those old NES games on Emulators... seirously.... Mike Tyson's Punch out - I'm so there! I can't beat that frickin' Russian guy! 20 years and I still can't frickin' beat him!!! I do manage to sometimes beat that bull dude. What else?... Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles - the original first game. Not the arcade game remade into a NES game. The original one - which was much harder and much more of a complex combat game... Of the Mario games - my favorite is Mario II, even though I know (read) that it originally wasn't meant to be a Mario game which is why it's so different. But I really love it. The flying carpets, the later snow episodes. Mario 3 was also cool with the flying ships and stuff. Mario 1 is classic. Kind of dull and boring and easy - but classic. The only "modern" games I played were 10 years ago ...was 10 years ago - in college, somebody had a playstation and we all played Soul Caliber and battled eachother instead of studying. It was cool. Those were the days. I would love to play a Haruhi Suzumiya game. I'm sure there is one. Where can I get it? Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warmaker Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 It just hit public beta, so at least it's not finalized. When I come back from the holidays I intend to give it a whirl. From what I gather on their website, they only recently got alot more attention, so hopefully that motivates the mod team to crank it up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoryHolmes Posted December 28, 2009 Share Posted December 28, 2009 So I just finished Dragon Age. Overall I give my playthrough of the game an 8.5/10. It had the usual BioWare golden standards of storytelling and character interaction, but lost some points in places like The Fade and Orzemmar, which are little more than dungeon-crawlers and virtually no role-playing aspects. Will I play through it again? Probably not all the way, but I'll probably play through each of the seperate origin stories to see how they turn out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghost Train Posted December 28, 2009 Share Posted December 28, 2009 I just grinded through Assassin's Creed II the past few days and loved it. Per a few previous threads, I'm not a really big fan of non-evolutionary human origin theories, which plays a heavy role in the plot, but ACII with its colorful cast of Renaissance characters and history presents everything in a tasteful enough manner that I ended up enjoying it. One negative about the game is that combat-wise, Ezio is just too overpowered. Also, the Italian accent English is a bit ridiculous imo, they should have just have Ezio's voice actor speak in the actor's normal voice. Altair never spoke with a strong ME accent in the first game, and although the VA's were different, it conveyed the impression that Altair simply sounded like a more confident and badass version of Desmond... in my next playthrough think I'm going to with Italian/English-subs .

But I don't remember them as fondly as TMNT though. Each one has their unique touches really, although I admit they do play the same.

bluemax151 Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 I still have my SNES cart for Turtles in Time and I actually played it again like a week ago. The level names have stuck in my head after all these years, if only I could remember actually important information as easily. They should really do more modern games in this style but maybe 2D with 3D backgrounds. They're a lot of fun with friends and help break up the monotony of FPSs and MMOs.

CoryHolmes Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 Agreed. Never really was into MMOs and FPS. So the upcoming MMOFPS set in the Eve Online universe holds no interest for you? That's one game I'm looking forward to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Valkyrie Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 So the upcoming MMOFPS set in the Eve Online universe holds no interest for you? That's one game I'm looking forward to. Yep, I'm more into retro/ classic gaming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Valkyrie Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 From magicbox, - In a recently interview with Gemega magazine, Tetsuya Nomura mentioned that Square Enix will reveal a highly requested game sometimes next year, and he expects that the fans will have huge reaction to the annoucement. (Could this be Kingdom Hearts 3 or Final Fantasy VII remake?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeszekely Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 ...Final Fantasy VII remake? I really hope not. FFVII was a mediocre RPG with an incomprehensible plot famous for its bishounen villain killing a girl I never had in my party anyway (I took Tifa with me on the Golden Saucer date) and CGI cutscenes that were impressive at the time. I'd be much more interested in Kingdom Hearts 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aladdin Sane Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 (edited) The logical conclusion would be Final Fantasy VII remake. It could really use it given the terrible early-3D mish mash graphics and terrible translation ("This guy are sick!"). Though it could just as easily be Kingdom Hearts 3. The World Ends With You 2 would be what I'd want if I could specifically request anything from Nomura and Friends at Squeenix.

Wanzerfan Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 (edited) In Modern Warfare 2 news... I made Leuitennant Colnel in online multiplayer! I also completely got everything for the Aug (my favorite weapon so far in the franchise; lord, does Steyr make excellent weapons). And on the Borderlands front, "The Zombie Island of Dr. Ned" is rather entertaining as well; just don't start the thing with 1st. level characters, or you will get your ass handed to you on a silver platter (it's designed to be played right after you beat the game and tie up all loose ends in the first playthough).

Ghost Train Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 Yep, I'm more into retro/ classic gaming. I used to be like you, but I absolutely love the drama and the tears that come with online gaming. I have played FFXI, EVE Online, and WoW (for a short time), and I can honestly say that seeing people screwing and cheating each other off, stealing, ganking, and other nefarious modes of behavior provides hours without end of entertainment for me. I have not logged into EVE in a few months due to work and school but as far as MMO's go, but its players are notorious for "bad behavior" . Instead of a scripted story, I craft my own drama that is up to par to a soap opera or a really good episode of RDM BSG. And yea... I'll definitely play the EVE MMOFPS when it comes out. I was in the Caldari militia for faction warfare, so I hope we can continue to do battle on the ground against those Gallente hypocrites . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoryHolmes Posted January 2, 2010 Share Posted January 2, 2010 At least BioWare is doing for DAO what it had promised for Mass Effect: expanding the story with DLC/extra content. In most of the pre-release hype for ME we were hammered with the DLC gimmick and it basically didn't arise. It's good that they can learn from their mistakes.
