greylord Posted February 4, 2012 Posted February 4, 2012 (edited) I never even heard of NIER. Therefor, it must suck. I also haven't heard of it. It can't be that hyped. Critically it's supposed to be one of the best games ever because it's the exemplary art in games idea. If rated by mass populace consumption it doesn't score well...but for the artsy reviewers that go gaga over things like ICO or Shadow of the collosus or Okami and stuff...they seemed to rate this game rather well. What is it? It's the distant sequel to Drakengaard 2 ending E. What happens and how the world ends... In some ways imagine a fantasy version of Fallout...the older fallouts...at least to a degree...except it's MUCH MORE DEPRESSING at the end of the game if you figure out the end of the game. The gameplay though...oh man...the gameplay truly stinks.... By the way...even if you beat it...you haven't. You won't even be able to unlock the real ending until you've at least gotten to the third playthrough...just a heads up if you ever do chose to play this stinker. I think it's time to either try Vanquish, Deus Ex HR, or go finish up all the side quests on my ME2 runthrough. Edited February 4, 2012 by greylord

I thought I had heard the name before... Yahtzee takes on Nier 1 “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt.

Deraldin Posted February 4, 2012 Posted February 4, 2012 I think it's time to either try Vanquish, Deus Ex HR, or go finish up all the side quests on my ME2 runthrough. Go play Vanquish. It's a fantastic game and it should only take you a few hours to complete.
Oner Posted February 4, 2012 Posted February 4, 2012 Bought Space Marine, thinking of firing it up tomorrow. Damn, I've been planning on replaying AP for 3 weeks now, then DNF, now this. :l Giveaway list: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1DgyQFpOJvyNASt8A12ipyV_iwpLXg_yltGG5mffvSwo/edit?usp=sharing What is glass but tortured sand?Never forget!

WorstUsernameEver Posted February 4, 2012 Posted February 4, 2012 In the latest episode of WorstUsernameEver Plays Dark Souls: I've reached Anor Londo, and I'm killing those big guardian-things to get to the chests they guard. I always hit those first though, because Sen's Fortress taught me about mimics.
Flouride Posted February 4, 2012 Posted February 4, 2012 Finally finished Arkham City. Still got some of the sidequests to finish and then I can move on to Dark Souls. Hate the living, love the dead.
mkreku Posted February 5, 2012 Posted February 5, 2012 I actually installed Diablo 2 to give it.. a third attempt (I think). Never made it past the first graveyard area before. We'll see how long I'll manage this time. It annoys me that I never completed this and Planescape: Torment (and Baldur's Gate 2, but that game is so long that I feel forgiven). Swedes, go to: Spel2, for the latest game reviews in swedish!

Chr1s Posted February 5, 2012 Posted February 5, 2012 Switching between Missing Link, Skyrim and Arkham City at the moment, really good all three even if Missing Link is a bit expensive for a DLC you can go through in 2- 3 hours.
WorstUsernameEver Posted February 5, 2012 Posted February 5, 2012 Jesus Christ hosts, don't forget to put on that ****ing Artorias ring before fighting the Four Kings! DON'T D:
Majek Posted February 5, 2012 Posted February 5, 2012 Tried the Binary Domain japanese demo. Despite not understanding anything i had some fun. Will have to try the english demo if there ever is one. Maybe i'll even be persuaded to buy this. yeah WorstUsernameEver its annoying when the host dies because of something like that. xD 1.13 killed off Ja2.
GhostofAnakin Posted February 5, 2012 Posted February 5, 2012 Went back to my play through of Assassin's Creed Revelations. I might end up just skipping all the side stuff and concentrating on the main story missions.

WorstUsernameEver Posted February 5, 2012 Posted February 5, 2012 Finally managed to help a Lautrec look-alike and his buddy to kill the Four Kings then proceeded to summon my own sunbro and whooped them (well, at our second try anyway, first time wasn't well-coordinated and I wasted too many Estus Flasks on the road).
WDeranged Posted February 5, 2012 Posted February 5, 2012 Not playing much yet, I gave up on Daggerfall after spending 30 long minutes attempting to climb some stairs without falling through the geometry, then I returned to the Fighters guild to hand in the quest and found that the quest giver didn't give a toss about me actually doing quests, he'd just give me the gold. The strange thing was after asking around on Bethesda's forums I found lots of people seem to love the bugs, they even enjoy "finding their way back to the game" from catastrophic bugs
GhostofAnakin Posted February 6, 2012 Posted February 6, 2012 With regards to Assassin's Creed, what's with the change in Altair's accent between the original and Revelations? I know it was kind of ridiculous that he had an American accent in the original, but now he's suddenly speaking with a Middle Eastern? accent in Revelations. "Console exclusive is such a harsh word." - Darque"Console exclusive is two words Darque." - Nartwak (in response to Darque's observation)
Gorth Posted February 6, 2012 Author Posted February 6, 2012 Inspired by somebody elses UFO: Enemy Unknown endeavours, I started a new game over the weekend. Things went fairly smoothly with only a few casualties... that is until I managed to catch my first large Alien ship on the ground. The Ethereals took control of half of my team and wiped out the other half in rapid succession. Complete "party wipe". Ah well, had accumulated quite a lot of money and had a spare team in a spare Skyranger, so the loss was managable if humiliating. Second team didn't fare much better when running into a Muton ship. I had forgotten how hard to kill (with laser rifles and rockets) those things are. Also forgot that they tend to not stay dead and will sometimes get back again, behind your lines >_ One squaddie and a tank survived. Squaddie got a promotion too. Time to go on a recruiting campaign. At least I got to keep all my guns and personal armour. “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt.

I know it was kind of ridiculous that he had an American accent in the original, but now he's suddenly speaking with a Middle Eastern? accent in Revelations. Simplest in setting explanation is that it's a different Animus. And for Altair in Revelations, it's like a double animus. Seeing Ezio see Altair. "Show me a man who "plays fair" and I'll show you a very talented cheater."

Seeing Ezio see Altair. I guess that makes sense. It's just rather jarring. Obviously the Revelations' Altair makes more sense, given both his name and his supposed origin. It makes you wonder what the heck they were thinking back when they made AC1.

Chr1s Posted February 6, 2012 Posted February 6, 2012 Finally got around to reinstall Planescape Torment after a few years pause from it, nearly forgot how great it was old sure but still a damn fun game and near on par with BG serie.
Drowsy Emperor Posted February 6, 2012 Posted February 6, 2012 Played about 10 missions in Syndicate. I hate the game so far. Irritating controls, bad gameplay design, shallow, nonsensical world, horrible pathfinding, broken missions... I don't see this one staying on my hard drive for very long. И погибе Српски кнез Лазаре,И његова сва изгибе војска, Седамдесет и седам иљада;Све је свето и честито билоИ миломе Богу приступачно.

I wanted to try it out thought it looked kinda good from some previews even if it's completely diffferent from the old game but seeing this it seems like it's a candidate for the worst game of 2012 so i rather wait, thx for the heads up btw.

WDeranged Posted February 6, 2012 Posted February 6, 2012 Unfortunately that's mostly how I'd describe the first Syndicate game, I got way more fun out of Syndicate Wars.
Gorgon Posted February 6, 2012 Posted February 6, 2012 It's a good idea, but it's let down technically. Na na na na na na ... greg358 from Darksouls 3 PVP is a CHEATER. That is all.
