  • Couldn't see one either

    Maybe the poster got banned.

    Anyhow two things: 1) I completed The Last Express. Brilliant story and puzzle game. If you like Broken Sword track it down, even if it has a couple of very tricky bits that will require repeated attempts or using a guide.

    2) The Call of Duty games. Are they always pretty linear and non-engaging? Played Black Ops at a mates on Saturday and it was my first experience of a CoD game but it felt like I just ambled along behind some soldiers observing cut scenes? Coincidentally a neighbour lent me MW on the Wii and whilst it's very atmospheric, I feel like a passenger most of the time? Is this just what they're like?

      • Oh right...?

        So do several million people like that or are they all in it for the multiplayer?

    • Call Of Duty is a multiplayer game

      with a dramatic single player where you do very little, to be fair Black Ops 2 looks like it's trying to spice up the single player a little bit.

      • Got ya

        Well, I generally find online multiplayer pretty repetitive and joyless so I guess it's not the game for me then.

  • had a go of sleeping dogs when i was at home. loads of people i know had raved about it. didn't really think it was that great ACTUALLY. then again i did just play the first half an hour and get bored of running around markets. is it actually alright? probbles not my cup of tea really.

    the only other game that i've played is girls like robots on my phone and it's genuinely really funny and 69p and i didn't realise that the music from it was playing loudly on the metro the other day, but who cares the music is great.

    also my brothers got the new assassins creed because his mate weird stephen gets the games early and then puts them on a disk for him. apparently it's 'really good' and he 'hasn't slept'

  • hotline miami

    is so hard, like from the start, wish it started off a bit easier!

    • been playing it too

    • I'm on the level with the police station (chapter 13 or so I think)

      The story is all a bit weird.

    • this looks like shank 2

      exactly the same in fact.
      Still a good game

    • Aftering seeing reviews and my friends playing it

      I think it looks really dull

      Yesiamaduck @Gorkys_Forever | 29 Oct '12, 11:25 | X
      • no thats borderlands 2

        Gorkys_Forever @Yesiamaduck | 29 Oct '12, 11:28 | X
        • Just because it's an indie game platformer with an interesting art style

          doesn't mean it's good! This one isn't very good and isn't the game you're expecting, go check out some videos/reviews before you buy but I urge you to get Mark Of The Ninja instead.

          Yesiamaduck @Gorkys_Forever | 29 Oct '12, 11:35 | X
          • it looks just like Shank 2

            which was boring.

            But I'll check it out.

          • cant get it to run smoothly on my PC

            Someone suggested turning PhysX or whatever its called off.

            Gorkys_Forever @Ichor | 29 Oct '12, 11:40 | X
            • I've got it on XBOX so I wouldn't know anything about that.

              Ichor @Gorkys_Forever | 29 Oct '12, 11:44 | X
              • thanks for nuthin buddy

            • PhysX is only for the most advanced graphics cards

              And it is designed for nVidea specific cards (though I do believe it runs on ATi cards it isn't optimized for them)

              Yesiamaduck @Gorkys_Forever | 29 Oct '12, 12:18 | X
              Raanraals this'd this
              • Whoops

                Didn't mean to this that. Was going to say I'm pretty sure you can't run PhysX on ATI cards.

                Raanraals @Yesiamaduck | 29 Oct '12, 12:35 | X
                • I just found out that you can

                  but you need to set to on in the ini file

  • Played tons of Ultimate Team

    but haven't been able to get on it for the past couple of days due to internet being incredibly shit. My first team is from the Portuguese League (cos they're cheap and good) but I've lacked fire power up front (ie I dominate every game with 60%+ possession and 85% pass success rate but spurn loads of chances). Thinking about saving up for Higuain and Falcao (because I've got Argentinian attacking and right mfs and James Rodriguez on the left so chemistry should remain good). Second squad is Danish players...I think I've almost bought all the Danish players in the game. Started a second squad partly to be able to enter all the tournaments.

    Since internet's been fucked I've been on Diddy Kong Racing which I got off ebay last week. Amazing how much more I remember than I thought and how instinctive it still feels. Most dated thing about it seems to be the simplicity of track layouts, or at least that's the thing I've noticed most. Still, good fun.

  • completed uncharted 2

    having previously got to the shootout in the monastery and gave up.

    Awesome.

    Is the original uncharted worth seeking out? And need to get 3 too, obv.
