Blarghagh Posted June 23, 2013 Posted June 23, 2013 I've started watching a Let's Play series about that game, and it is the first time I thought a game was worth buying a PS3 for. Too bad it's so late in it's life cycle.

Keyrock Posted June 23, 2013 Posted June 23, 2013 I'll say this for Back to the Future: It's not Michael J Fox voicing Marty McFly, but the guy doing it sounds really close. The puzzles so far are all really standard walk here, talk to this person, pick up this item, use item with this person, walk back to this place, and so on. Seeing a young Doc Brown and McFly and Tannen ancestors definitely puts a smile on my face. RFK Jr 2024 "Any organization created out of fear must create fear to survive." - Bill Hicks
Nordicus Posted June 23, 2013 Posted June 23, 2013 (edited) Juggling between Dragon Age: Origins and Lost Planet 2 Lost Planet 2 is more fun than I expected. The co-op is really funny when you've got blowback friendly-fire, and it just so much fun to kill giant monsters and ride mechs in a game that feels so focused on its mechanics and Monster Hunter-esque silliness. I'm actually replaying the campaign after finishing it! That barely ever happens And speaking of DA:O, just finished the Mage's Tower portion and whoa, that was some vanilla NWN2 levels of tedious combat. The boss fights were kinda fun admittedly. Out of the handful of characters I've met already, I probably like Flemeth the most. She had a very distinct personality and funny lines while not staying around too long to start treading the same ground. Yes Morrigan, you think Alistair is dumb, we get it. You're still an interesting twist on the whole "person who's ever only known one of their family members in their entire life" backstory though. Edited June 23, 2013 by Nordicus
LadyCrimson Posted June 23, 2013 Posted June 23, 2013 This series is completely free and is an indie project so you may well not have heard of them before. The graphics aren't the best but the story is excellent, they're made by Zero Punctuation's Yahtzee. 5 days a stranger 7 days a sceptic trilby's notes 6 days a sacrifice Hm. They look kinda interesting. Downloaded. “Things are as they are.

Malcador Posted June 23, 2013 Posted June 23, 2013 I'm supposed to rescue 18 hostages on a map in X-Com: EU. This is making me go crazy. There is no way I can save them all. Save enough. Fine some and use them as bait for the aliens to rush into your killzone. Why has elegance found so little following?

Tale Posted June 23, 2013 Posted June 23, 2013 I could use a good mystery adventure type game (doesn't have to be 3D, but I don't like "platform" styling very much), but whenever I look for one, nothing really appeals. I wonder if GoG's version of The Last Express works. My ancient PC version had a bug that crashed the game early on, which annoyed me because it seemed like a good game. I would recommend the Wadjet Eye games like the Blackwell games, Gemini Rue, and Resonance if old school style p&c mystery adventure is what you're looking for. Gray Matter, while not Jane Jensen's best game, is a good mystery p&c too. I'm playing through the Blackwell games really enjoying them. Gemini Rue and Resonance were pretty good, too. Gray Matter I did not like. "Show me a man who "plays fair" and I'll show you a very talented cheater."

ManifestedISO Posted June 23, 2013 Posted June 23, 2013 Finished Bioshock: Infinite this morning, for the first time, after three months or whatever. Had to have it explained to me ... guess I'm too thick to see through such a convoluted reach-around. All Stop. On Screen.

Then again, I didn't really like many of the "main quest" quests. My enjoyment from DA:O was the character interaction and the subquests that helped flesh out the world.

Saving more is better in that you have more panic reduction as a result, but I'd never even sacrifice one squad member to do so. L I E S T R O N GL I V E W R O N G

Katphood Posted June 24, 2013 Posted June 24, 2013 (edited) Call of Juarez: Gunslinger The gunplay is simply amazing. The story isn't anything award winning but it's still quite funny and the Silas Greaves guy is pretty cool. Edited June 24, 2013 by Astiaks There used to be a signature here, a really cool one...and now it's gone.
BruceVC Posted June 24, 2013 Posted June 24, 2013 Call of Juarez: Gunslinger The gunplay is simply amazing. The story isn't anything award winning but it's still quite funny and the Silas Greaves guy is pretty cool. I have always wanted to play this series of games. I read that only the one set in our modern era against the Mexican cartels wasn't worth playing "Abashed the devil stood and felt how awful goodness is and saw Virtue in her shape how lovely: and pined his loss” John Milton "We don't stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing.” - George Bernard Shaw "What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived.

Katphood Posted June 24, 2013 Posted June 24, 2013 (edited) I have always wanted to play this series of games. I read that only the one set in our modern era against the Mexican cartels wasn't worth playing Yes. Call of Juarez: The Cartel is the only game that wasn't favored by the fans or the critics. I personally haven't played it yet, but I don't think I will be missing anything. The first Call of Juarez is my favorite in the series. I haven't played the second game yet but I did play the demo when it came out and it was pretty good. I wonder why I haven't played it yet! Now Call of Juarez: Gunslinger has a more Arcade-like approach. The gameplay is fast and fun. There will always be some bad guys around the corner and there are lots of amazing ways to take em out. The story doesn't take itself to seriously but there are some hilarious moments that are guaranteed to put a smile on your face The story also revolves around some of the most notorious American outlaws which is interesting because they each have a story of their own and they really existed(Billy the Kid, Jesse James, Dalton Brothers etc.). You can also play the Arcade mode if you just feel like shooting a few bad guys and want to skip the story and stuff like that. There is also a Duel mode if you're interested in those classic showdowns. Gunslinger is also pretty cheap. Only 15 bucks!

Keyrock Posted June 24, 2013 Posted June 24, 2013 I've heard lots off good things about Call of Juarez: Gunslinger, it's definitely on my list of games to get eventually.

Katphood Posted June 24, 2013 Posted June 24, 2013 (edited) Is it better than the gunplay in my beloved Far Cry 2? It's different. Call of Juarez: Gunslinger is more action oriented compared to FC2 but it's fun and you also have a skill tree(you can either specialize your character in either pistols, rifles, shotguns or a combination of all three of them). I recently played Blood Dragon and if had to choose between the two, I'd go for Gunslinger. Random Fact: People should play FC2 because it has the most beautiful Savanna in gaming history.
