[Talking Backwards]

Hey Stormo, did you ever end up trying to play Dark Souls again? I know you hated how the character controlled like a "fat cow" or something, but were you playing it on the consoles, or PC? If it was the PC, it's supposed to be absolute shit if you aren't using a console controller. Regardless, both of the Souls games are two of my favorite games of all time, and I'm just getting super hyped for Dark Souls 2, which comes out in a few days.

I played it again later yeah, on PC with an Xbox controller... but I guess it's just not my thing.

Squarenix has recently put Final Fantasy VIII on Steam. It's HD (I still don't really understand what that means), and I'm tempted to buy it. (Should I have put a comma there?) I know now that leveling up in that game is counter-productive, so I think now I have a good strategy to finally beat Ultimecias Castle. Too bad they never put IX on PC, that's the one I really want to replay. The Playstation emulators never seem to work.

What an annoying voiceover.

This flipped my childhood on its head and sent chills down my spine.

I should probably stop playing Skyrim.
I just keep installing more and more mods. I just started playing Falskaar, still havent done the Elsweyr mod.

Am I the only one who would be okay with a total Viking/Medieval overhaul mod? No magic, just more in depth combat, no ridiculous fantasy weapons.

The elsweyr mod is pretty weak save for the airship things. The desert/jungle ground maps are terrible in design.

Bought War of the Vikings. Theres a few ways it could have been improved, but its a decent time waster. And I'm terrible at it.

I know no one cares about this series anymore, but heres a new gameplay trailer for Dragon Age: Inquisition.
I'll probably get it.

"No one cares" is a bit much, but I do think (and I daresay most of us do) that BioWare should fire half their writing team, especially the ones that made DAII play like a deluded fangirl's angsty fanfiction. And I'm also hoping they'll make the gameplay more tactical again. That said, I'll certainly be interested when it comes out.

 

[WhiteBeastofWotan]

This War of the Vikings game is like crack.

Inquisition looks... interesting. Very interesting.

However, David Gaider is still an egoistical faggot and Bioware will never make good games again with him at the helm.

Looking into forfeiting hundreds of hours of my life to Endless Legend if it's any good and I can find a reputable retailer to buy it from besides Steam.

 

[WhiteBeastofWotan]

Some cool E3 trailers have come out

Pretty stoked for W3.

E3 gets worse and worse every year. What a bunch of generic "bro tier" bullshit and rehashes. Witcher 3 looks great, Smash Bros looks ok. Everything else looks worse than a Tyler Perry movie. Gaming is dead, and frankly, women and Call of Duty idiots killed it. Look at all these useless sequels.

Where the fuck is Fallout 4? Where the fuck is Shenmue 3? I know those would be (rehashes) but at least they'd be good.

Sorry to sound autistic.

I am currently playing through me3 again and am very curious about me4. I don't like what i've heard so far but we will see

i should make valid my curiosity of the next mass effect game.

I never played a ps3 before march of this year when I purchased one. Never gamed on a computer either so I was limited to my ps2 games. When I bought the ps3 I bought only UFC 3. Played that for days but got bored so I went to Gamestop and purchased both mass effect 2 and mass effect 3 having heard of it but not played it.

Needless to say, as I began Mass Effect 2 I...was....stunned. My favorite game of all time.

I also loved Mass effect 3. And with the series so new and fresh for me, I can't help but want more. Let's hope the 4th installment is atleast as good as the 3rd.

However, I still like Shepard, and I am going for the perfect ending now hoping to survive. So I kind of wish I could reprise my role as the commander in the new game but whatever. I guess there isnt really a story there.
