I thought that was the handle so the guy can pull you into the blow job?

Beat Assassins Creed 3 last night. I enjoyed the game for sure, no real big boss fight type at the end, of course I had 12 assassins at level 10 so that made it pretty easy.

What I love is after the credits you can just go back to playing, still have all my assassins, money etc.

I don’t know my 80yr old father in his paratrooper beret could probably kick your ass, my ass, and most of the guys on here’s ass, and he has one eye(after getting the other blown out by a grenade in Korea), lung and colon cancer, and smokes weed everyday. He puts on that uniform though with his maroon beret and look out he’s fucking Conan, Rambo, and the Terminator all rolled into one.

And if you have that patch on your arm and walk lopsided because of all the medals you are allowed to wear(no good conduct medal for the old man he had it taken away…twice) you can rock the beret

Serious Sam 3: BFE … Somehow they got it all wrong in that one. The weapons mostly suck (that’s the shittiest minigun ever, Jesus Christ), the enemies mostly spawn in ones or twos from all directions, so blowing up a mob of headless kamikaze guys becomes the exception rather than the rule.

Oh, and “No cover, all man”? Yeah, right. Play this on normal or more difficult than that and strafe-jumping into the fray just gets you killed. Arcade gameplay my ass, I spent more time hiding behind shit and looking through a fucking reflex sight (Wasn’t this game supposed to go against the Call Of Duty/tactical shooter craze?) on an M4 of all things.

And for fucks sake, Serious Sam was always about violent and funny crowd control. There is not a single proper weapon for that in the game, other than maybe the cannon (but you only get that fairly late and you can’t carry much ammo).

You know what’s the worst part? The game felt like 50% work and 50% annoyance.
Instead of “Hell yeah, a great gun and more shit to blow up” I ended up thinking “No, not a whole dark level full of cheap spider enemies in small, scattered groups AGAIN” or “Oh, a horde of 500 skeletons. What weapon to use… Oh, that’s right, there isn’t a fitting weapon for this in the game, and the way they just fall apart with little effect is boring anyways. Can I engage my cloaking device and sneak past them? Oh, right, wrong game.”

Not that I had no fun or anything. But really, only reason I played this is because there’s nothing better around right now. Kind of sad. Can’t match it’s predecessors either.

727

Can someone please make a good shooter again? Preferably one that offers more for my money than “3 hour campaign with no replay value, no skirmish mode, no nothing… Oh, but you can get achievements!”.
With weapons that don’t suck? That actually make use of what we can do with modern day graphics/physics engines?

728

Any of you, Xbox users tried the kinect yet?

I’ve been playing a game called Rise of Nightmares(there’s a girl who sounds just like me at the start, haha!) and it’s quite a pain to get the hang of it. It gets quite tiresome after a while (can’t remember having so much difficulties with the Wii sensor) but dang it, I can’t count the number of times I’ve been slaughtered by zombies.

I’ve given up until I find the patience and time to master the perfect techniques to move, kick and roundkick monsters.

Also it’s such a shame that you can’t properly ‘‘interact’’ with npcs. I’d like to slap some guys or girls’ asses whenever I feel bored…

Just depends on the beret you be wearing. Some are less manly than others.

Love your rant/review.

I’ve considered getting SS3 but won’t bother then. The last thing I need it’s a game that frustrates me.

Have you played Cysis 2? That game was pretty good. I’m playing Halo: Combat Evolved 10th Anniversary. Classic Halo game play with a new coat of paint and spit shined. It’s all purty now.

If you’re cool with 3rd person shooters, try playing Vanquish. It’s got a shit story, but game play is phenomenal.

That’s another game I’ve got on my Christmas list.

I played the original one on my PC back then. I can’t wait to see what it looks and feels like on the Xbox. What else differs from the original apart from the graphics?

Yep, talked about it in one of these threads too.
One of the best recent shooters, though it had plenty of weaknesses… The usual 3 hour campaign, several one-trick ponies (50 cal, stealth), lack of variety in enemies, no boss enemy or any such thing, repeating the same encounters over and over essentially… But it sure was more fun than most other recent shooters.

Halo was never my thing unfortunately… Damn flood :slight_smile:

That’s a 360 title, right? Bloke in super-detailed white-ish power armor sliding all over the place?

For some reason, I watched the first mission on gameanyone and then forgot to pick up the game even though I meant to.

The consoles have been taking a back seat for a while now, I’ve been mostly buying PC titles via Steam… So convenient…
But apart from some indie(?) goodies like Orcs Must Die! and so on… Recently it’s been like this:

CC: “Ok, I wanna play an RTS. Hey, how about those CnC titles I missed.”

buys games

CC: “Hm. They suck. Whatever happened to the franchise? Damn. Let’s play some turn-based
strategy instead.”

buys heroes of might and magic 9999993524

CC: “Damn, this was cool for 5 minutes but it’s basically the same as every previous HOMM title ever, with just slightly improved graphics. I’ve played this same game before dammit.
Let’s play a shooter instead.”

browses action games on steam

CC: “Damnit, there is NOTHING interesting here, and all the stuff I own is boring me to tears. The mod community for whatever reason ain’t what it once was, either. How about a role playing game? Oh right, I already own all the decent ones… And after baldurs gate 2 it all went downhill in terms of gameplay anyway.”

And so I ended up playing Secret Of Mana 2 on some SNES emulator again.

I have similar issues with movies now… I could watch every damn movie there is on the net but even at zero cost the recent ones are not worth the time for the most part, and I’ve watched all the interesting shows’ to the end of their respective current seasons…

Maybe I’m suffering form some form of entertainment fatigue…

I know the feeling. For a while I was hanging out at strip clubs way too much. Got to where I couldn’t enjoy a pair of tits being pressed into my face. Some tits were too big; others too small. Nipples were too pointy, and others weren’t the right color. I feel for you man. I eventually got better, and once again enjoy fondling breasts of all shapes and sizes. I’m sure you will get over your fatigue as well.

Well, tell Hideo Kojima and I’m sure he’ll make that the primary feature in the next Metal Gear game. I’m not even kidding.

Hahaha

I don’t think playing too many games is really the issue though… It’ll take some serious changes in the game and movie industry to make my problem go away I think…

Guess I should just get into modern day modding tools and stuff and see if I can’t at least make the guns in SS3BFE awesome and change the spawns… That would fix most of the game’s issues.

They replaced all Covenant enemies with more Flood!

Nah, just kidding, no worries.

Well, our tastes may not match… But even so, I’d wait for a Steam Sale or something.

I originally got suspicious watching the weapons demonstration vid, but after viewing some episodes of the Gameanyone LP of SS3 I figured what the hell, it does look like fun.

Well, some of it is, but… I dunno. They just sort of dropped the ball there even though it had so much potential to be awesome. The engine isn’t half-bad either, just more demanding than it should be considering what it does…

What are your fav. games anyway?

If the developers don’t release demos, I use something that rhymes with “steamonoid” first and purchase if I enjoy the games these days. I completely regret dropping cash on Rage…such a shame too because the gunplay and gameplay is so much fun…biggest mistake they made was such a lack of variety in the weapons (oh great I can equip 4 types of ammo though?, I still want more weapons) and the story was just plain lacking something gripping.

I didn’t pay to play SS3 BFE and I’m very glad that I didn’t because I feel the same way as you about it. Just felt like work. At one point I realized that at various parts of the game if I wanted to make progress, I could actually just rush past the enemies and make it to the next check point. Felt like work and wasn’t that much fun.

On another note, has anyone seen the new gameplay trailer for Mass Effect 3? Looks awesome:

Have you checked out the first Crysis now that its out on consoles? If not and you liked the first one, seriously check it out. In my opinion it was a much more fun game!
