I've bought Rhythm Zone on steam - pretty fun guitar-hero like game - but using controller for it is painful.
if anyone is interested i have one guest pass for this game to share on steam. PM me if you want it.
Number of works of fiction that made me shed at least one tear: 3Thou seeketh soul power, dost thou not?TOX: 33524385841A92B08787EEBEBA2DB51ED293C4F15A2E292F3F C92165E82388281433A77EA8FE
Just downloaded Dead Rising 2: Case Zero. Feels like the first game but kind of blah. There's less humor and more of a desperation atmosphere and that takes away from the game. Feels like DR1.5 so far, which is ok since DR is such an awesome game, but hopefully the full game is cool.
edit: finished the demo after some angry hair-pulling and almost throwing my controller at the TV. Not sure why but the first game frustrated me this way too. It's extremely satisfying to accomplish all of the missions but figuring out the exact sequence you need to do requires more effort than a video game should. I think they should have made it more fun and less thought-intensive, particularly with the razor-thin time allotments you get for accomplishing some of the missions.
Some improvements: the escortees are a lot smarter and durable than in the first game, so escorting them to safety doesn't drive you insane with rage.
The combo weapons are fun but some of them are too big for an inventory slot so when you switch off them you drop it, which sucks.

“For God will not permit that we shall know what is to come... those who by some sorcery or by some dream might come to pierce the veil that lies so darkly over all that is before them may serve by just that vision to cause that God should wrench the world from its heading and set it upon another course altogether and then where stands the sorcerer? Where the dreamer and his dream?”
Just finished my second playthrough of Halo: Reach. I think Bungie's sending the series out with a bang on this one; they did an excellent job with the story. Multiplayer's still a bitch to try and get into though, since those who've been playing Halo 3 since release still have the high ground, as it were.
Now 99% disease free!
I dunno, I haven't played Halo 3 multi in ages, and didn't have issues ranking in matches, mostly getting 1-3rd place in slayer.
Invasion is the most fun though IMO, maybe you should try that?
And yeah I agree, Reach is fucking awesome. Also nearly have all the achievements ;D.
-----------------
Eh, I'm probably overreacting to me sucking at Halo online, but whatever. I still have a good time with it most of the time I play. I have tried Invasion and it's really interesting, but I've found that I really like the arena 2v2 matches. It seems to display my suck less.
Now 99% disease free!
Currently playing Tales of Vesperia and I have to say, the control scheme is just as bad as Final Fantasy 13's... wtf hapened to the simple control schemes. Why do you need 3-5 multiple button presses nowadays to achieve a skill/kill.
No wonder games like Call of Duty are the top games every year. Simple control Schemes = Much more fun game.
I will concede that Resonance of Fate control scheme is very new and in novative, it's at least fun to use.
I think companies like Square-Enix and Namco need to go back to the drawing board.
English voice actors suck for video games :/
What are you talking about? You can put skills to simple binds in ToV like Forward B, or something.
The guy has some deficiencies. IIRC, he's the guy that said TLR had better graphics than FFXIII and that TLR had an amazing story.
You can assign four short cuts to left analog + A and then an additional 4 to the right analog stick. I really hope you're not opening the menu every time you want to cast something. That says a lot more about you than it does about the game. Unless you're complaining about the fact that ToV forces you to actually play the game by press a button for regular attack then yes, there's nothing anyone can do to fix that. I suppose doing combos and making multiple attacks on regular enemies IS too hard. They should definitely make it to where everything dies after you press A.
Yes CoD is popular because all you need to do is press one button for everything. I love how the game magically reads my mind and knows when i want to throw a grenade and when i want to shoot. It automatically changes weapon to suit every situation for me too, BEST GAME EVER!
And no, not all english voice actors are bad. There are notorious ones like Infinite Undiscovery, but voice actor for games like ToV can hardly be considered to "suck".
I started playing Dragon Age Origins : Awakening but several hours in decided I'd rather start over since I lost my DAO game save data...
So, I started over and I'm apparently an idiot. I want to play a rogue at heart but build my spec as a dual-weapon warrior.... *sigh* I may have just been trying to get close to what my first character was.
2nd play through is as good as the first. I'm finding some more stuff and going deeper into some of the quests.
I decided to play BF:BC2 after it's been sitting on my HDD for a good 6 months since I bought it, and I suck. I can't see shit, and everybody else looks like they've got spider-senses.
Camping's boring, but rushing like I do in MW2 (successfully) isn't the best idea.
I remember playing BF: Vietnam years back, and even that was fairly close-quarters orientated. Anything I should be doing to not suck?
I can't hear shit neither, which is something I'm fairly reliant on to detect flankers.
If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
How to not suck at bc2:
1) don't take recon or medic unless special case calls for them
2) use assault and lvl it up at least to aug(first decent weapon) and tracer
3) use engi to get repair tool for fast exp. use RPG+tracer to shoot down helis/tanks. never ever use carl gustav.
4) move slowly, don't rush but don't camp.
Special cases for choosing medics/recon
1) less than half of the team is medic/recon
2) stupid guys are dying really fast - take medic
3)enemy is camping in one spot - take recon + mortar
P.S.
Medics LMG's are OP and annoying as hell if there is medic who uses only lmg. Remember medic is for ressing/healing

Finished Borderlands today.
The final boss was a joke. His mouth doesn't close fully, so I just sconned it with a few thousand critical hits with an SMG. It doesn't seem to be able to hit me neither....
It was over in 1 minute.. >_>
A cliff has better luck of killing me (and I'm serious. I drive off them way too many times expecting a landing)

Guys, are you following the steam deals this week?
Metro 2033 for no more than 10,20€ (~15$?) today
To my knowledge, the first playthrough doesn't have a level cap (unless you're talking about the maximum level you can realistically go to after completing all side quests etc).
I think it would have taken less time if I had known about his faulty mouth and not bothered waiting for him to open up.
Certainly not 10 seconds though. That was more like Dr. Ned (both forms)
If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
Hrm, I was sure there was a level 30 level cap for your first playthrough (no DLC), I guess I was wrong.
