Game: What game are you currently playing??

[Ryllharu]

I love Goo Gone, but you have to remember to wash it off afterward. It's kerosene after all.

I've also found that peeling a sticker off by getting a corner up and then folding/rolling the sticker across itself to the opposite diagonal corner gets off the most adhesive.

For some years now, I've been into casual tricky games like CatPhysics, Finger Physics, Meon and the likes.

And now a silly (no really) example:

White spirits does the job if you want to get rid of that sticky crap

Playing BF3 Beta and the magic is kind of gone. As recently as 1 month ago I was spending 3-4 hours a day on BFBC2MP. I don't think I like the changes they made in BF3, or maybe I'm just burned out on BF style gameplay. I might cancel my pre-order and spend time on MW3 instead.

[gos27]

MW3 is just the same as MW2 except with different maps and guns. BF3 is where it's at

[Animeniax]

BF3 is just the same as BF1942 just with different maps and guns

I just found out on the Colbert Report that MW3 will allow you to gain double XP by entering codes from Mountain Dew. I might not buy the game after all.

[KrayZ33]

why would you cancel your BF3 preorder and go for MW3 instead?
thats highly retarded
the only cool thing MW3 has to offer is the co-op mode.

compared to BF3, CoD has

ugly graphics
extremely one-sided gameplay
unlike the older CoDs its totally *not* a "tactical-shooter" anymore
kids, kids everywhere
no vehicles
small maps
*ugly* map design
no atmosphere in MP

etc.
etc.

btw I just watched the review of Dark Souls on Gametrailers
I don't remember Demon Souls to have such bad graphics, in fact I remember it having good animation and graphics for a console game.
but what is this?
the animations and character movements look extremely out of place ?
weird looking armor and anime-fantasy weapons which are way to big to wield and yet it looks like they can lift them as if they were out of paper

[Animeniax]

I enjoyed MW2 MP a lot more than BFBC2 MP, and that's saying a lot since I logged 9+ days of gameplay over the course of 2-3 months on BFBC2 MP. I got burned out on MW2 MP because I played it for almost 2 years and there really are limited gameplay options compared to BC2. But I prefer the smaller maps and close up firefights of MW2 to the maps of BC2 where you get shot from way out and can't even see by whom.

You like the game you like, but don't be a dick and tell me which is better. The CoD series is king for a reason.

I dunno what you saw, DKS looks better than DS, I also don't see how the animations looked off, most of them are the same just tweaked to look better/be smoother.
Also DS had plenty of huge weapons, like the meat cleaver, so far I've only collected 1 big ass weapon but it requires 46str, not something you carry around like a paper weight; in fact whenever I wield halberts or big axes the attack animation shows my character struggling with it's weight, even though I'm way past the str requirement for any of those weapons. So I'd say everything looks a lot better and fitting now.

For other "anime" esque weapons, I haven't seen any, it's all standard swords/spears and axes.

[Buffalobiian]

I liked MW2 MP better than BFBC2 MP. Then again, I don't really think when I play. MW2 MP is fun for me because the killing is really personal. Some guy spams you in the face with twin g18s - you know his tag-name, you know where he was - you wanna get back in there and kill him.

For me, it's easier to get into a game of MW2 and BFBC2 because it's relatively simple. You don't need a team or teamwork. You just need to not be retarded, some knowledge of the map, and a hacks-free server.

But when you do find a good game of BFBC2 that isn't totally one sided or filled with retarded players though - man it's great. Capturing and holding objectives as the bars fill while you try to survive the enemy's tank shells gives you a rush CoD's rambo-playstyle can't give.

Perhaps my main complaint about MW2 in general is that it just feels too clean. The graphics are all polished and so are the guns. You need some grit and terrain to make it really seem like a firefight.

[Xelbair]

BFBC2 had its own problem - retards that went for kills instead of objectives - while cod was full of them too - they actually did something useful - in bc2 it was common to have full team of camping recons... while being on offense in rush.

Buff - in domination in mw2 you needed to think actually - not in each firefight, but generally you wanted to box enemies on one point in line-setup( A B C points set up in line - ie you have to get A then B if you want to get C), or rotate the points in triangle-setup( you can go from each point to the any other point in this one). And never ever let your team grab all 3 points.

[animus]

Dark Souls looks a lot better than Demon's Souls and the animation is more fluid. Only negative of the presentation in Dark Souls is that there can be some noticeable frame rate issues (like Blight Town).

http://www.gametrailers.com/video/re...k-souls/721882

decided to post the video
basically the whole part starting from 3:14 till... dunno.. 5:20 or so
the human character looks awfull
and those "cobra" enemies... argh

and that weird huge weapon
its just so unbelievable how he swings/carries his axe and shield when he is just moving around like that
meh, absolutely not what I had in memory but oh well if it has always been like that so be it. I don't like it (anymore) though

You like the game you like, but don't be a dick and tell me which is better. The CoD series is king for a reason.

underaged children
I believe CoD is king because the older ones were great
CoD was good, CoD2 too, CoD:MW was awesome and new, CoD:WaW = meh, CoD:MW2 okay
but CoD:BO is probably the worst of them all and most likely has been sold the most.
must be an american thing or something... or a console thing.

[Animeniax]

underaged children

Yet you like BF more than CoD? I guess you're ahead of your classmates in 3rd grade.

I'm with Buffalobiian, I prefer the more face-to-face confrontations of CoD to the long range warfare in BF. Getting killed by shots from nowhere sucks.

[darkshadow]

I've seen that video and while it's not the most flattering it still looks a lot better than anything in demon's souls, just play the game yourself.
Also the 2 weird weapons, the super long spear thing and the bendy blue axe, in that video are special, just like the meat cleaver in demon's souls.

[KrayZ33]

Yet you like BF more than CoD? I guess you're ahead of your classmates in 3rd grade.

of course
BF doesn't want to make me feel like a supersoldier from hell with 100% accuracy bunnyjumps around corners
and it won't allow me to start nuclear warfare with 25 knife ninja-instant teleportation kills.
and lets not forget that new diving shit which came with :BO,
and on a sidenote, a tomahawk is not a modern weapon

CoD went from CS-Like to Quake-like
and it went from atmospheric to "funny gimmick" *trollface*

hell, even BF is going more and more into that direction.. and it sucks
and I'm making console and CoD players responsible for that

[Ryllharu]

and on a sidenote, a tomahawk is not a modern weapon

Oh, but it is.

Now a Claymore, that's not a modern weapon.

[KrayZ33]

ya right


not.

SKYRIM

I've been playing for about 10 hours now, and I've still only been on what I estimate to be less than 1/8th of the map. Skyrim itself is huge!

The skills/perks system is really well done. Your character grows based on your play style, as before. I've been focusing on assassination shots with a bow, and it's really paying off. The Sneaking HUD/UI is vastly improved over Fallout 3's, and unlike New Vegas, sneaking actually works. So far, most of the enemies are not equipped with supersonic hearing and x-ray vision (like they were in NV's broken stealth system). You get to gradually see if you're hiding properly, made good your escape, or if they are steadily getting closer and closer to understanding where you're hiding.

To go with that, daggers make a great compliment when I can't get a good bow shot. They also have a 6x backstab, that can be increased to 15x! Occasionally, the game will cut to a stylish kill animation much like Fable III or Dragon Age. It's very satisfying to sneak up behind a bandit mage and slit his throat.

Problems so far: Inventory management. I'm not hoarding or anything, but unless you get your own residence, you don't get a storage container guaranteed to have your stuff still in it.

I am still waiting for my copy. Stupid shipping...

Did you get any sense of how level scaling works in Skyrim? This was one of the annoyances I had with Oblivion.
