Well there's Battlefield: Bad Company 2, my personal favorite.

Challenger01 · Post by **Challenger01** » Sat Jan 15, 2011 9:09 pm

Right now for me it's kind of a tossup for like, four games. Alan Wake, NFS: Hot Pursuit, Halo: Reach, and Black Ops....

But since I don't have LIVE it's more like NFS and Alan Wake.... When I get Live tomorrow, it'll be back to all four.

Anyone else played Red Dead Redemption?

Dubiousity · Post by **Dubiousity** » Sat Jan 15, 2011 11:18 pm

I've sorta backed off from Black Ops, in fact, I'm probably gonna sell it.

The game just frustrates me too much.

Does anyone here play Starcraft 2?

Dubiousity · Post by **Dubiousity** » Sat Jan 22, 2011 1:27 pm

I have the game, yes.

Tha Housedog linked me your post for some reason. He also said 'Sound familiar?'
I am confused about what he means by that.

Dubiousity · Post by **Dubiousity** » Sat Jan 22, 2011 3:18 pm

I have absolutely no idea what he means by that.

It's not that I was bad at the game, 1.58 K/D and went on high killstreaks often. But the game gets so old and frustrating quickyly, people follow whatever trend helps them get the most kills. The game has become more about K/D than having fun, and in objective based games most people are idiots who will completely ignore the objective just to get kills.

The game itself isn't even that good, the gun selection is poor, it has the same lackluster gunplay as the last 3 games, and the servers are absolutely terrible. Honestly the only reason most people like it so much is because it has "Call of Duty" in the title.

You just described two of my friends. Almost exactly.

I described 90% of the CoD community, that's why I sold the game and don't plan on buying any more of them, I'm sticking solely to Battlefield now.

Private Elliot · Post by **Private Elliot** » Sat Jan 22, 2011 3:25 pm

I have to agree with that quite a bit...
I had a lot more fun playing BC2 than MW2 when they were the only two 'games' (in a manner of speaking) out... Black Ops is kinda fun but everyone plays it like MW2 and camps. I know what T.H meant, as we both play together and I always complain.

GameCobra · Post by **GameCobra** » Sat Jan 22, 2011 3:37 pm

If there's a game i'm putting my money on coming soon it's Marvel Vs. Capcom 3

it's gonna be crazy <3

Dubiousity · Post by **Dubiousity** » Sat Jan 22, 2011 3:54 pm

Yeah MvC3 looks great, though I probably won't be able to afford it, focusing on Dead Space 2 atm.

As stated above, I do as well.

Yep. I sure do.

Bought and beat Dead Space 2 today, dear lord that game is intense.

WHOA.

Yet another awesome Kirby game, incoming!

Post by **Sleet** » Sat Jan 29, 2011 11:39 am

Awesome! Epic Yarn was actually a repurposed game, a la Star Fox Adventures, so it makes sense they still have a normal Kirby game in development. I wish they'd do something like Kirby 64 again, 'cause I loved that game, but this is fine too!

FlintTheSquirrel · Post by **FlintTheSquirrel** » Sat Jan 29, 2011 4:01 pm

Ohh nice. It sure does look like they want to think bigger. And I mean that in the literal sense. I hope it is going to be like Kirby 64 or as one of the free roaming ones in the past. Always was fun trying to get hidden items through so many puzzles.

I would also link to the forums.
But the content of it would kill someone with an allergy to profanity.

Gaben decided that Portal 2 is to be released in April.

Woops. My bad.

Post by **Sleet** » Wed Feb 02, 2011 12:44 pm

Gah! Why does everything good have to be released around that time?!

Private Elliot · Post by **Private Elliot** » Wed Feb 02, 2011 12:47 pm

I was thinking, "Um...it still says April 2011..."
But yeah, I still need to preorder that.

Cwitt · Post by **Cwitt** » Wed Feb 02, 2011 6:15 pm

I just got the portal 2 release date confused with a different important date in my life. Now if i can just remember what happens on feb 11th...

NosWaster · Post by **NosWaster** » Thu Feb 03, 2011 5:55 pm

Favourite games?
Any good game.
I'm partial to racing sims, like iRacing.com, Gran Turismo 5, and Forza 3 (4). My favorite of the 3 is iRacing despite the expenses.

Developers?
Polyphony Digital
iRacing.com
Turn 10

Consoles?
I have em all. Wii, PS3, Xbox 360 (Original, not the new one)

Least favourite? Note: I don't hate ANY console. I just like certain ones more, but I certainly wouldn't have bought them if I hated them.
In order from least fave to most fave:
Wii
Xbox
PS3
PC

Trends you don't like in the industry?
I don't normally keep up with "The industry"

Trends you do like?
N/A, read above.

Graphics, gameplay, story, artwork, music, gameplay, what most affects how you view a game?
I normally focus Gameplay/Physics as my primary reason to play a game. After that, the graphics definitely.

In racing sims, I love to paint my cars some combination of Red and Black. Those are my absolute favorite colors. After that, comes Blue and White.

Also, sorry for essentially copying the format of the original post. I thought it would be a good idea to do that to introduce myself into the topic.

GameCobra · Post by **GameCobra** » Fri Feb 04, 2011 11:47 am

I play Starcraft 2 from time to time, though i'm sadly not the best at it as compared to most games. though i can't say no to Zerg <3

GameDragon is the name if you're interested.

Have you guys heard of Territory War Online?

NoelL · Post by **NoelL** » Fri Feb 04, 2011 3:54 pm

I love this game.

Aarden · Post by **Aarden** » Fri Feb 04, 2011 3:57 pm

Supremacy 1914, Browsergame of the Year 2009. This game is so addictive.

Though I play the console.

I figured I might as well post this here,

My Garry's Mod is seriously messed up, here's a video

Halp?

Private Elliot · Post by **Private Elliot** » Sat Feb 05, 2011 3:57 am

*Sighs*
Why I hate DLC that costs money,
Number One: I never get them, as I have no money
Number two: If it's a multiplayer game, just to play the game still, I HAVE to buy it. Example, BC2 Vietnam. There's no normal games anymore apparently. So BC2 is now worthless, unless I somehow get the DLC for it >_>

NoelL · Post by **NoelL** » Sat Feb 05, 2011 2:09 pm

Huh? That's untrue. I don't have Vietnam, myself (lol, paying for a reskin) and I can always find a game. Several, in fact. Sometimes, it's finding a not-full server that's the problem.
