The Video Game Thread

started playing assasins creed brotherhood properly now a few hours at a time an really enjoying it. upgrading my pc tomorrow so i can play games on that to. if any of you lot are on steam please feel free to add me
 
I'll probably end up picking it up. Dunno when though.


Anyone else laugh their ass off when they saw that Duke Nukem Forever got pushed back? :lol:

Whats the rush?:loco: Duke Nukem is the video game equivalent of Chinese Democracy. Expect a lot of hype and a lot of disappointment.
 
:lol: I'm not gonna get it, so it makes no difference to me.


Chinese Democracy is absolutely amazing in my opinion. Am I still the only one who thinks that? :lol:
 
*MASSIVE HIGH FIVE*



Just played Undead Overrun in Red Dead Redemption for the first time in months. SHIT'S SCARY.
 
tl;dr - SNK > everything else, the compilation is buggy but fuckwin. Also, inb4 disagreement because you're 100% wrong. And that's not even an opinon.

It's cool to hear someone with an opinion on SNK outside of a specialised game forum actually :)

I've got a massive interest in old games (not really specific games and series like you do though, I just find old consoles and their games etc interesting), and I've been reading up about SNK and the Neo Geo recently, and I want a Neo Geo so much! Not sure whether you've looked into the Neo Geo consoles too much (although you if you're interested in KOF then you might have!) but it seems like such a cool system to have, not just in the way that it's the ultimate king of 2D games (usually Beat 'em ups!) but also just because it's quite an investment for a retro console, considering a beaten up, incomplete AES system will often sell for £100ish...

To top it all of, the STANDARD controller is this bitching arcade stick! None of your joypad shenanigans here! :lol:

So much want...
 
That is interesting, I haven't seen one of those before. My last roommate bought a huge joystick controller like that for the PS3. He insisted it was the only way to player Street Fighter.

Still playing through FO:NV. Got Assassins Creed 2 in from Gamefly..need to give it a go.
 
New Vegas is fantastic. Assassin's Creed II is a great game as well. Feather collecting was annoying though. :lol:

Aye, indeed - I've been wanting to buy a NEoGeo AES for a long time, but I don't have the 200 quid necessary haha. They're not just good for fighting games though - Metal Slug is a prime example of SNK's talents outside of a one-on-one (or 3-on-3) shit-kicking

Currently resuming my Final Fantasy IV game. Just got up to Bahamut's Cave and I'm massively underlevelled for once - not even at Lv.50, I seriously need to be at Lv.60+ to stand a chance at getting Bahamut before I go onto the Giant of Babil section (having bahamut would make that SO much fucking easier!!)
 
Also, holy FUCK - my local Playtime Multimedia store has copies of Castlevania Chronicles and Castlevania: Symphony of the Night for Playstatio! Chronicles is a reasonable 20 quid, SotN is a moderate 70 quid... I think I'll have to buy these. Seriously.
 
Recently restarted BioShock. Fucking love that game. <3


Nearing the end off FF9 as well. I'm at the end of disc 3, but I'm doing all kinds of leveling and skill learning and item splooging. I'd be playing Socom 4 online, but PSN is down sooo..... Yeah.



Oh! I picked up an actual copy of Final Fantasy VIII, brand new, off Amazon this morning for $6.50. BEAT THAT!
 
I'm still rounding off my Final fantasy IV save/s. I checked my older save (from when I was fucking 13 years old!) and realised that all of my characters are at Lv.99 and I have all the ultimate weapons - but only one Alert item, i.e. getting Adamant Armor for each character is nothing short of impossible on that save. On my current one, everyone's at Lv.50 or so but I have about 16 Alerts - so I can either level everyone up for another twenty hours and redo everything, or I can leave it.... hmmmmm.

Fuck it, I might just resume my FF1 save again.
