Just got DC Universe Online for PS3, which is the first time I've ever bought an MMO.

 

 

I hear it's so bad not even MMO fans like it.

The trailer probably cost more and took longer to make than the actual game.

Got decent reviews, a friend's playing it and won't shut the hell up about it. But will have to give it maybe 2-3 more weeks for the shine to come off.

Now CoHO is shutting down I've started playing modded CoH Eastern Front and Op. Market Garden.

 

OMG is a persistent world mod where you make your own unit in a style reminiscent of the Close Combat games - i.e. no resource points and base-building. It turns CoH on it's head - I thought I was quite good until now.

DC:O was... ok. Not great but not a heaping pile of smelly stuff. I played the beta a bit and in general the biggest issue was the control scheme for PC and targeting system (often I'd find myself shooting something a block away when somebody was slapping my face). Also I couldn't help but feel that any way I made my character it wouldn't be heroish because of how they set up the powers.

 

You've got a primary power set (brawling, pistol, AR, swords etc) and a secondary (fire, ice, magic and poison I think). Thing is, you can't play Batman because of the secondary, and you can't play Superman for the same reasons. The entire point of the game is to play a super hero, but you can't help but feel thrown because one minute you're slinging a bow, the next you're making your body vent fire...

I have the same issue on PS3 with my dual pistols character.

Currently playing Dead Space 2, so far loving it

Specially the return to the Ishimura, so much nostalgia. Best game moment of the year so far

I'd say the answer to that question is kind of like the answer to "who's the sucker in this poker game?"*

Hang on, is DKS = Divinity 2? They have some screwed up version system at the moment.

 

But Steam is no-go for me, FNV was enough.

Actually DKS = remastered divinity 2 + addon/dlc Flames of vengeance, so you actually get to finish the story of your dragon knight.

1.13 killed off Ja2.

Resident Evil 5 is finished. I admit that I have certain prejudge towards so called "pure" console games. I haven't really played 'em, only seen my friends play 'em or maybe in speed runs or let's play videos. I read the reviews but they are obviously written from console gamers perspective. I've played a lot of console ports lately (well, almost all big budget titles nowadays are console ports) but Resident Evil 5 hits your face like slippery fish. I was certain that I might be bit too pessimist in my views about the console games but when you play game like Resident Evil 5... damn, I have been too optimistic.

 

This game is like poster-child of everything I hate about games. It's like anti-game for me. From hideously bad plot, to broken combat mechanics, this game has everything. I literally can't belive that is award winning multi-million brand. Quicktime events with sudden deaths? Hell, I died multiple in one level (boss fight INSIDE volcano) because I couldn't hit fast enough, number of times enough F, V, A or D keys in order to PUNCH several ton solid rock into lava flow so that my computer controlled companion could escape. That scene was so bizarre that I couldn't tell if I'm doing right thing or not.

 

What about "too many endings" or rather, how many freaking tiems I have to fight this same end boss, watch overly-dramatic cutscenes (with quicktime events of course), awkward pauses, pointing guns but not shooting (because talking is important)... When you finally get chance to kill boss last time, you'll run out of ammo ;) . Good thing you can visit store after you die, yeah, that don't break flow at all. But, even after nice warm bath in lava, boss still ain't dead (I'm walking away IRL).. another quicktime event. You still have to bazooka the boss. All and all, without a doubt the WORST boss fight I've experienced in any game in the past 30 years.

 

The good things? I liked the graphics and especially female models (your stupid AI companion and that cliche evil rich girl). I can't think of anything else, I might need to wash my brains with bleach.

Let's play Alpha Protocol

King Arthur: The Role-playing Wargame - picked up The Saxons DLC while it was on sale and thought I'd give it another go for a bit (The Druid DLC is on my to-get list but I'll wait until it drops in price or I finish with this one).

It's really slow to start, with the story not beginning until Chapter 6. But I actually enjoyed DS2, something I cant say about the first game, which I abandoned after two hours.

Finished DS2, damn that UberMorph. I swear that my neighbor must had though I was killing someone.

Skipped through GTA IV (Revenge ending) and the Lost and Damned.

 

Then got a bug to play Total War again... last time this happened I quit playing rome only because the game crashed any time I got into a fight. I tried some Napoleon but honestly, the guns and gun combat feels more boring than melee combat. Ended up picking up Mid2 on steam with Kingdoms for 10 bucks (I own it at home... *sigh*)

Unkillable enemies are poopie. I wanted to walk around and look at the scenery but there I was being chassed by a twelve-eyed freak all the way through the level.

Actually, I found out that you can kill him if you push him against the big fan at the end of one corridor. Still I was very pissed when after swaddling through vacuum, filled with exhausts shooting fire, the guy was still after me.

Moving on to Divinity 2:DKS, what an awful combat system. Lovely game, great atmosphere, every time I kill something it takes the fun out it.

Are there any mods to change this?
