How do you feel about the "gaming media"?
I actually don't hate G4, but their podcasts are infinitely superior to the actual television stuff. Other than that I really only go to Kotaku. >>94012Electric Playground was a pretty awesome program, but goddamn did he have some ridiculously stupid review scores.
>>94071why are her fingernails so long? for someone who climbs as much as tomb raider does surely shed want them cut so she doesnt tear them off
>>94071
Old one's at the limit, so let's get a new one up in this hizzle.http://www.pcgamer.com/2010/08/11/next-tf2-update-adds-trading-new-game-mode/Next update will have trading, a new game mode and the Polycount pack items. I am very happy.
>>94036So, you would like to play with very few people, is that what you're saying. I mean seriously, you expect people to not be jerks. If you have a lot of people playing, you're going to get a fair number of jerks.
>>94036You just described basic human nature. Most people want to be on the strong and more powerful side, and to crush their enemies with overwhelming force. When and where ever humans have come to fight they have always wanted to have more weapons, or people, or whatever then the other guys. It's not a sure thing but most of the time it works.
>>94048Still though, he does have a point, it's shitty, annoying, and can ruin the experience if you're on the team having your nuts stomped in (being first place on your team, maintaining a positive kdr, but the rest of your team might as well not be there, for example). Granted, it's all shooting games in general, not exclusive to TF2 by any stretch. At least TF2 has things one can put in place to prevent or deter stacking.
So, the Final Fantasy XIV open beta finally started?Has anyone played? Thoughts/concerns?
>>93272It is missing quite a bit of the content planned for release.In fact, they just recently announced this stuff here:http://www.ffxivcore.com/topic/17035-final-fantasy-xiv-pre-launch-event-coverage/
Well, now I just need to find a way to pay for it.
>>94054And now I have one!Yay Texan economy!
Game of 2011, right here. Calling it now.
>AKIRA ON DA SOUNDTRACK>HOLY SHIT DAT GAMEPLAY
Suda 51 has to be the biggest Westabos ever.
Day one purchase for me. Looks like RE4 mixed with NMH (and I'm not only saying this because I know who are working on this game, to be honest Mikami said as a producer he hardly did anything on this title, yet it still feels very RE4-ish) and with a soundtrack by Akira Yamaoka. Small interview here:http://tgs.gamespot.com/video/6275958/?tag=top_stories%3Btitle%3B1It's odd, but good, to see Mikami without his typical sunglasses and clothes. Now that he doesn't work at Capcom anymore he can appear natural in interviews.
help me /cog/, i think i'm casual scumi tried playing sonic 2 and no matter what i cannot get past the casino night zone bossi play most games on easyhow can i fix thispicture might be slightly related if it doesn't turn into a flower again
Spin dash up the wall and jump off at Robotnik. It gives you better control than running up or trying to use the bumpers.
Have a good night's sleep, try again tomorrow.Seriously, I have beaten so many hard bosses by trying a few times and then waiting until the next day. I figure it's the time your brain needs to subconsciously get with the program.
>>93996This is the one I've always used.>>93999Also great advice.
Has anyone tried out the Scott Pilgrim game?It is actually pretty good, it is a River City Ransom clone with co-op and music by Anamanaguchi.
>>92855 Wow that's odd, where is 'here' for you?
>>92879Israel, it's a funky place like that.I read this article about the name and it starting to make sense to me, they're trying to pull audience who wouldn't go to see it otherwise.
Got the full game a few days ago, and Admiral and I have spent the past few nights playing with a friend of mine. Dear god it is so pleasing. I don't think we've had that much fun with a multiplayer game since we used to play Smash Bros. Melee back in middle school.
What's the opinion on Sly Cooper? And anyone looking forward to the HD Collection?
I thought 2 was the best cause I liked the mini open world levels for each of the characters. Yeah Bently and Murray weren't as fun to play as Sly was but I don't think they were boring. 3 is where I thought it took a dive though because it was just mini game after mini game.
>>93917Why did they mess with her voice, though? It sounded fine in the first one.I didn't mind playing as Bentley or Murray, but thought it should have been scaled down a bit. Sly's the main focus of the game, he should be the one you play the most.
>>93967I heard that the Sly 1 VA was sick during the voicing of Sly 2 which is why she got replaced. Don't know about Sly 3's story with voice acting. But I'm surprised by how BAD Carmelita's voice was in the third game.
Thinking of getting an Xbox or a PS3 for a teenage boyWhich offers the better experience for the money spent?I don't have any idea what's the current cool game for kids nowadays, so just shout out your favorites and I'll make a list or something
>>93972hurr durrjust because you find mouse and keys more enjoyable doesnt mean everyone else does
>>93975It's not a matter of enjoyability. Mouse+Keyboard is, objectively, more flexible and more precise.
>>93887Not exactly a great deal if you ask me. Those 3 games don't cost much to buy these days because they've been out for a while and they're not in demand anymore. Not to mention neither of those 3 have 2 player local play so that 2nd controller isn't going to get any use for a while. If you want a better deal and to make him happy, I'd recommend this:Xbox 4GB slim80GB laptop compatible hard drive (I recall you can switch out hard drives in the slim models like the PS3. Feel free to correct me on this though.)$65 gift card for a game or two (depending on what he picks).That would probably cost a bit less and he'll have the system + money to buy a game or games of his choice.
What's that, Spyro? You need me to unlock this door so you can progress onward? Well, I'd help, but I can't remember how to unlock it. Perhaps a few gems would jog my memory...
>>93814And how!
Cinder is the new Kristal!
>>93814Best part of the game, hands down. Even better than getting permanent super flame.
So yeah, another animesque game on Steam.
>>93657 That makes a bit more sense, then.
>>93657I want a video game based on Plus4chan.
>>93939Well there's Pokemon.
Welp. My XBox is dead. I did my best to stave off the red-ring, but it happened anyway. It lasted me a good while, what with being refurbished. I guess I have an excuse to buy that new XBox coming out. Or came out. I wonder how much one is without a harddrive.
>>93854People still do that? I only prop up my XBox if I need the room, and even then, I likely wouldn't play it.
I kinda wish everyone would go back to flip-tops. Maybe I'm just biased with nostalgia but outside of early models, those didn't seem to fuck up as often.
>>93878 Flip top systems used cartridges only, though, right? Or no?
>Traditional & Video GamingWe got too much of the latter and not enough of the former. Lets talk about Dungeons and Dragons! One of the first and still one of the most popular tabletop RPG's out there. How'd you get into it? You ever play? How do you enjoy the editions?Last game I played was a 4th edition game on Skype that I ducked out of. With Tomb of Horrors and Dark Sun setting on it's way I figure now's as good as time as any to discuss the game. So what're you hoping for with the next big releases of DnD?Personally? I can't wait for Psionic Power to be released so we can improve the Psionic classes in general. Ardents and Battlemind's really need an upgrade.
>>91976Focus on something else for a while. The game will interest you again after a bit.
The newest addition to our pirate campaign: a half-orc avenger of Tiamat who used to serve as the first mate on a ship called the Ragamuffin before her mates were killed by lizardfolk. Her current goal: to storm their ziggurat, destroy their very religion, and replace it with her own. Her weapon of choice: a falchion enchanted so that it is basically a giant fancy chainsaw.Fuck yeah I love this group.
>Second session of DMing SW d6 module for my table at our local roleplaying club>Not too bad, reasonable number for my first ever ti-"Hey, here's a guy who just showed up, we're putting him on your table">...Okay, that's not too bad, I gue-Oh hey, sorry me and my 14-year old son are late. I'll just put my son next to the other teenagers>There are now 8 people in this party
So hey how about a Warcraft thread? I know WoW's shittiness has mostly ruined the fun of the series, but this was once one of the coolest things in gaming. Recently I've been getting the itch to play it again, and am unsure whether I want to play W2: BNE or W3/TFT.
>>93687I thought that was Magtheridon.
>>93723..You're right. I got them confused.n/m.
>hurr durr reactions to a 12 year old gameMy old bosses were neglectful cowboy douchebags, but my new boss is a GENOCIDAL douchebag. Just another day of being an abused minion for the glorious Magistrate Rodyle of the Sons of Korhol I suppose.Also I seem to remember hearing something important about this Kerrigan woman but don't recall what it was. Oh well.
Can Sonic be saved from neverending mediocrity? Sonic the Hedgehog 4 looks to be a step in the right direction, but who knows if Sega has learned from their mistakes by now or if it will just be a temporary relief.
>>91142I'm not sure how to feel about Sonic Riders being its own series.
>>93676Well, I think I've already hit that really fun hyped stage already, but pretty much yeah.
>>93679As long as it still has that cool artstyle.
HEY /cog/ WE ARE STARTING AN S4 LEAGUE.WHAT EXACTLY IS AN S4 LEAGUE?WELL YOU ALL KNOW THE GAME S4 CORRECT?WELL IT'S THIS GAME RIGHT HERE:http://s4.en.alaplaya.net/IT'S A SHOOTER SIMILAR TO CAPTURE THE FLAG. A NEUTRAL BALL SPAWNS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE MAP AND YOUR TEAM MUST CAPTURE THE BALL AND TAKE IT TO THE OTHER TEAM'S BASE IN ORDER TO SCORE. WE ARE RECRUITING PEOPLE TO CREATE 2-3 PERSON TEAMS TO PLAY DEPENDING ON HOW MANY PEOPLE WE CAN GET TO JOIN. Message too long. Click here to view the full text.
>>93551Yeah, I mean, who would want to play games with a gaming community instead of just bitching and fangasming about them all the time?
I'm down to play with some +4 people, so I'm guess I'll try.
>>93268Sent friend request and waiting for invite now.
