I was refering to arch mentioning textures.

I want to play Castlevania off of your recommendation, but the combat system looks like it was ripped from God of War. Is that why you liked it so much? Because I got tired of the GoW gameplay after 1.5 games.Originally Posted by Archangel

Where the dreamer and his dream?”
I'll trust your word and give it some more time Xel, but for now... Halo.
In all honesty i've only played the psp GoW games but even i could see the similarities. And if i had to point out a weakness in the game the major one would probably be how much more effective hit and run tactics are opposed to combos... which by the way, you have to buy using combat points.
What i can tell you though is that even in face of these issues throughout the entirety of the gameplay i never once stopped having while fun playing it.

Got Disgaea 4 for christmas and have been playing it a bit, love it so farNot sure if it's better than Disgaea 3 yet, will have to play it more.
I just finished Bastion
Best game I've played in a long time. Amazing music, art, storytelling. I've played it for maybe 1/10th of the time that i spent on Skyrim, but i couldn't even remember having this much fun with Skyrim.
The game is 10$ at most and is available for download at many places. I highly recommend this to anyone who enjoy video games in general.
I too finished it a few hours ago, definitly best indie game I've played in a long while.
Well that was... thoroughly underwhelming and disappointing!
Halo 3's multiplayer must be truly outstanding for the game to warrant all the hype because the solo campaign was unbelievably average. I enjoyed the first 2 a whole lot more.
Currently starting "Another World" the demo.
slightly remastered classic, bit hardcore for my tastes
All the things I really like to do are either illegal, immoral, or fattening. And then: Golf.
Just started Red Dead Redemption a couple nights ago. It's so far a pretty good game though I'm still getting used to the sandbox-type game setting, as I've never played any GTA games.
I'm also playing Duke Nukem Forever. My cousin said it's a really fun game as long as you don't take it too seriously. I'm barely into it so I don't have any comments just yet.
Red Dead Redemption is an awesome game if you like the American old west and sandbox games, a combo which made the game a match made in heaven for me. I played to 100% completion on X360.
I'm playing Cryostasis: Sleep of Reason on PC. It's a weird game dynamic that I haven't seen before... you heal yourself by warming near heat sources.

Where the dreamer and his dream?”
ODST however was very enjoyable, both the characters and the setting felt much more appealing to me.
Did anyone play the Darkness released back in 2007? The sequel is coming out in Feb and looks kind of cool. They have it for PC this time, but I wonder if that means it will be a console port.

I've played both.
The game is made by starbreeze studios, and they have a very long history of making pc games; with chronicles of riddick they used their proprietary starbreeze engine, which is like UE3 and MTF2 in the way that it supports all platforms natively.
TL;DR, it's not a port.
Edit:
I just noticed that DE took over development and they are using their Evolution engine, which is also like UE3 and MTF2 and SBE...so yeah still not a port.

You've played both? Was TD2 a beta, because it doesn't release until Feb 2012. Did you enjoy them?

I own the first and had ample hands-on with the second at Gamescom and another domestic fair.
I really liked the first one and the second one seemed to be better, I enjoyed it at least.
So I finished Red Dead last night with 85%. What a great game...though, I'm not sure how I feel about the ending.
I forgot how it ended but I wasn't too concerned with the ending of the story as I was about reaching 100%. I'm not that big on playing video games for the story, so I imagine I'm missing out on part of the experience.

When it comes to the story part, I guess it depends on the game. Red Dead's story was really good, so much so I think it would make for a great movie.
I really wouldn't say you're missing out if you enjoyed playing through the game. I just think it's nice when the main character is fleshed out and makes me feel involved.
My personal Game of the Year list for 2011.
I did a little write up for 2011 on my blog, and will soon also do something similar for a 2012 forecast.
Anyway DS's GOTY - 2011
No Skyrim? And GoW3 at #4 and DE:HR at #1? Can't say I agree, but to each his own.
I'm playing The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings on PC... so far it's pretty cool. I'm hoping it will be more compelling when you gain more abilities. Character building seems to be pretty in-depth, and the fighting system makes hack and slash fun. I might even get a game controller to play this with. I think it's more RPG and challenging than Skyrim and games like Deus Ex, and the story is what supposedly truly sets it apart.
However, there are some game mechanic flaws. I hate artificial walls in open world games, and I hate when you can't walk over ledges to get where you're going. Hoping those are minor flaws so I can get a good 80-100 hrs of gameplay before ME3 arrives.
