WEEKEND! GAMES! WEEKEND! GAMES!

David Liao: Amazingly, I'm still progressing in Deus Ex. A couple times I've put the game down for good and both times I've found a way to worm myself past the part I was stuck at. Most recently it was the first boss. I picked up both Mercury Hg and Torchlight this week for five bucks each. So I'll mess with thoses this weekend before the craziness that is next week.

 

 

Carlos the Stout: While I'm not squinting at the map in the Battlefield 3 Beta or using my medkits to break physics and demolish walls, I'M PLAYING RESIDENT EVIL 4. (Again) or as I like to call it, Bottlecap Collecting Simulator. Let MC Chris explain why Resident Evil 4 is better than any other of its contemporaries and even most games of today.


Joseph Christ: Ok Battlefield 3. I know you're just a beta but you're buggy as hell and I think your graphics look like poop. Everything just muds together to the point that I can hardly even see anything. I would have accepted not being able to blow up every park bench if you could crank it up a notch or two. But still, you're fun as hell and I can't stop playing you anyway. Like a really annoying girl who gives great head...I just can't stop coming back.


 

 

Brad Simons: This is my last chance to finish Deus Ex before Dark Souls hits next week. I'm planning on a poop sock this evening, and hopefully that momentum will carry me through the weekend.  Gotta clear the way for the packed RPG schedule in my future.  After Deus Ex, I'm going to try to poop pillowcase Xenoblade along side Dark Souls. If I can get those knocked out in time, Ill be playing Witcher 2 alongside Skyrim this November.  Batman, Uncharted, and Zelda are my other biggies, but hopefully they will just be speed bumps this fall.  Jesus, look at the games I just mentioned -- what a crazy season for games.


Nick Henderson: I'm sick...

    I'm trying to wrap up Final Fantasy 12 to move on to some non-RPG pastures with BioShock and MadWorld. Also pushing through a replay of Shadow of the Colossus... on PS2.

    I've managed to get Elder Scrolls: Arena to work properly so I'll be playing through. Other than Elder Scrolls, I'm enjoying the Frozen Synapse demo. FS isn't beginner friendly, but I'll get used to it. I can't wait for Dark Souls!

    Most of my week will probably be Dark Souls, with a little hint of Gears of War 3.
    I'm also still chugging away at Tactics Ogre

    I will be playing more Gears 3 and the Battlefield 3 beta. Those will consume what time I have until Dark Souls comes (and Orcs Must Die! the day after). This next week is going to be huge, especially since I also have Rage coming in from Gamefly.

    I'm just finishing playing Kingdom Hearts 2 Final mix for the 10th time... I should really get a PS3 :(
    I'm going to head into Birth by sleep or possibly The World Ends with You, in celebration of Kingdom Hearts Dream Drop Distance for the 3DS.

    I am really obsessed with Kingdom Hearts, I noticed. D:

    Well... I just got around getting hooked with Tactics Ogre... Once again... so Playing that to completion. Been playing Gears 3... getting kinda bored with it already along with the BF3 Beta.

    Might and Magic: Clash of Heroes is on sale... as of today, I dont have ANY cash to buy it... but when it goes on sale once again... I'll buy it RIGHT AWAY!

    I cant find my DS... can't finish DQ5.... well.. Yeah.

    BF3 Beta for me. Gotta agree with Joseph on the poopy graphics; squinty galore, but damn it is addicting.

    in the weekend, not so much, got a big schooltask due monday; but hey, I managed to get through shadow of the colossus in the span of two days and damn I love that game! (never played it before)
    BUT next week dark souls comes out, I ordered the collectors edition from america (since over here we don't get shit) so I'm super excited for that! as my american boyfriend mails it over I expect to see it by the end of the week tho, which is a bummer because it's one of my most anticipated all year.
    So I'm probly gonna play it like hell when I get it, mmmm big juicy fall-break.
    I'm probably gonna be busy up to that point however, but I can see myself popping in dead island to finish that, littlebigplanet to create some stuff, wanted to jump in after writing about the physics elements in it in my 'learning from games' essay. aside from that I might jump into demons souls a bit, maybe play some more battlefield 3 beta; which I'm torn on like joseph, I can't fucking understand why modern games do this; blur all over the screen, dust flying everywhere, explosions, blinding gun fire, hard to see HUD elements. Something about the visuals in games these days are messing with my eyes, I mean you can do amazing effects and debree without making it look like shit or hinder the players vision, like how F.E.A.R. does it. I miss the days where the effect were minimal and you could see your character clearly, as opposed to the "realistic" visuals of todays shooters.

    Already played the fuck out of Gears of War 3, and I even got my review for it punched out, but now what? I have no freakin' clue. Feeling heavily distraught over losing my way of connecting with the forum members in that chat, so I hope that replacement comes soon.

    I'm staying away from games that takes a lot of time to play during the week, because I need to get my shit together on other fronts (make a portfolio site etc.).

    But if I play something it is bound to be Just Cause 2 or APB:Reloaded.
    Fun games that you can just do shit in then put them away.
    From Friday to Sunday I might continue my AC: Brotherhood playthrough or restart Witcher 1...

    I'm building a barn in Minecraft for when 1.9 gets an official release (animals will be permanent entities in the world and you have to breed them or explore to get more). Actually, not so much a barn as a creepy-looking bunker with pits to toss livestock in that I can go to when I need to harvest their resources. This is so dumb. T-rex doesn't want to farm, T-rex wants to HUNT!

    Been playing RE4, might 100% that or perform a few speed runs before Dark Souls on Tuesday which I just got a text from Gamestop reminding me about it. Like Carlos said, RE4 is soooooooo pimp.

    KOTOR. Never played it before. I'm only about 3 hours in, but so far I think it's my favorite Bioware game. It actually feels like the characters are reacting to me and not reading off a script. Also, you can play it with one hand. I actually really like the movement system using only the mouse.

    Didn't play much this weekend, studying and the NFL took up a huge chunk of my time. However I did begin Resident Evil on the gamecube. So far my frustration lies with the awful controls for character movement, I also hate the bullet sponge zombies, it makes sense but peppering 15 rounds is a bit too much. Anyways I do plan to finish it, as well my second playthrough of Wind Waker.

    Played a bit of the Battlefield 3 demo. I'm a little disappointed with there being so many bugs (i.e seeing through walls and lack of vehicles, hopefully DICE will fix these bugs asap. It also looks like players who just started will be at a disadvantage due to the lack of attachments (the tactical light being the best example). Still like Joseph said you just keep on coming back for more.

    EA servers are blocked at my halls of residence so I can't try out Battlefield 3. Sly 3 is occupying my time, really though I need Skyrim now.

    best way to shake that sick feeling is to curl up with an old school RPG...Xenogears got me through the flu
