The Game Chat Thread

i'll quote shocker on this
Well, I thought it was about time we had a thread for general gaming. Somewhere where we can ask questions or just make a statement about a game without having to make a new thread. Use me for your gaming needs! "

that pretty sums it all up Very Happy

I just finished Fallout 3 on pc with God Mode. Shite ending imo!

Can't get the DLC working at all Sad

Well completed Alan Wake today. It is confusing as hell but I have my own theory on what happened.

Yeah I got it today and it's ok but not great.

I picked up Splinter Cell: Conviction for €20 today in Xtra-vision.

EDIT: Also rented Terminator Salvation aswell. It's ok so far. Going through it with the brother on co-op.

The only thing I like about it is that when you are in cover and there is multiply cover location near you can automatically pick one to go to.

I was going to get "Scott Pilgrim vs. The World" until I heard that there was no online play which killed it for me.

by **VampiricPadraig** Sat Aug 14, 2010 11:00 am

Since this was a popular thread on .ie, I am going to sticky it

by **SilentHunter** Sun Aug 15, 2010 4:41 pm

Well completed Terminator Salvation today. It was terrible. Still it was still fun playing Co-op.

Easy 1000gs. Very Happy

by Marvolo Sun Aug 15, 2010 7:33 pm

Really have to get around to finishing Mass Effect 2.

by **SilentHunter** Mon Aug 16, 2010 6:12 pm

Loving Splinter Cell Conviction so far.

Also Completed Castlevania: Harmony of Despair Today. The reason it too so long was that It is a bitch to find matches and when I do people start dropping out of the game.

Also when thing are going great the host usually pick Level 1.

DA:O froze on me and turned the fucker off. Pissed me off so much,anyways looking for another game to waste my life on.

That's happened a couple of times to me too with DA:O.Always seems to happen too when I've forgotten to save for ages and there's been no autosave for a while

Nintendo have announced release dates for Kirby and DK

Not bad.

Might get both day one since they are a good distance apart.

by dooley Tue Aug 17, 2010 3:16 pm

Mass Effect 2 is coming to PS3 in January

http://kotaku.com/5614838/mass-effect-2-hits-the-playstation-3-in-january

No mention of the first though.Seems kinda odd that they would release 2 and not 1

Edit:Forgot that ME1 was published by Microsoft Game Studios so MS probably still own the rights to it.

by Quadnike Tue Aug 17, 2010 7:34 pm

That is really ghey!

New Portal 2 gameplay footage

by **SilentHunter** Thu Aug 19, 2010 5:31 pm

I don't know if Portal 2 is going to be worth the full retail price since portal 1 was so short.

Hopefully not. I'm not liking the new look to me it's pretty dull. Anyways rented Alpha Protocol because i love crap games

Portal 2 is going to be much longer than the first one(a full length game according to Valve themselves) and will also have a separate co-op mode

Release date is Feb 9th 2011

by **crow-feet** Thu Aug 19, 2010 6:12 pm

can you really trust that release date? the game looks fantastic, i bet it will be great. I'll pay full retail price for it. thanks for the info dooley

Alpha protocol is the worst game i have ever played!!!111 Don't buy it don't even rent it it is beyond crap

by **SilentHunter** Thu Aug 19, 2010 11:16 pm

The only thing I heard that was good about the game was the Dialog System.

by Quadnike Thu Aug 19, 2010 11:17 pm

That even sucks. Theirs like a countdown timer on it. I heard it was like ME's one and it's not really

by **SilentHunter** Thu Aug 19, 2010 11:19 pm

I heard the same thing. Most people said if they gave it a few more months developing it it could have been a good game.

by Quadnike Thu Aug 19, 2010 11:20 pm

They had 6 extra months but they didn't they left it the way it is. Sega seem to be screwing a lota games that could of been good crap :/ That and AVP for example

by **SilentHunter** Mon Aug 23, 2010 6:40 pm

My God. The Tower in DarkSiders was very boring.

The was definitely the worst part of the game for me.

That's not a good deal.

There is a link to an ebay one that you can get for €10

Fallout:New Vegas doesn't allow play to continue after the ending just like FO3 originally

Anyone else foresee a Broken Steel type solution to this? Rolling Eyes

by **SilentHunter** Tue Aug 24, 2010 4:58 pm

What!?

Looks like I may not buy it day one now because of going a dick move like that.

Sound but getting MGS3 and MGS2 for 4 pound i think on Amazon. First time ordering online so hopefully they won't be broken discs or anything like that.

Dick move but smart also.Gamers complain that you can't keep playing after the ending so they release a DLC pack that allows you to.Loads of people buy said DLC pack.Worked for Fallout 3,will probably work the same for New Vegas Wink

I agree it's smart but I really don't like the idea of having to pay to continue after the main story. I hated in Fallout 3 and I will hate it in NV.

Ok this is incredibly fast.The sequel to Deathspank is out next month

I heard before the release of the first one that it was going to be in episodes.

by **crow-feet** Tue Aug 24, 2010 6:48 pm

ok fallout has drawn me in once again. i was supposed to make dinner about 2 and a half hours ago.. but i just wanted to explore that building.. why did it have to have a basement and bunker aswell?! haha Very Happy

by MrMarioMan Tue Aug 24, 2010 9:30 pm

Played my first game in probably about 2 months the other day, Mario Galaxy 1. Was playing it before I went on holiday trying to finally get the 120 stars, left it on 114, now on 118. Just have Luigi's Purple Coins (which I just can't seem to do) and 1 more comet Star that doesn't seem to come up (think you might need to get the other 119 stars first).
Anyway, have been playing it because I bought SMG2 the day after launch and still have not got around to it. I just wanted to get SMG1 out of the way first because I knew I wouldn't go back to it otherwise. Didn't think it would take this long though... Embarassed

I know. Have tried to follow vids on YouTube, but those people seem to have much better reflexes than me. So I tried to do it some other ways, but tend to die once I get to about 85 coins. The problem for me is I usually will make at least one mistake in most levels and then just recover. However, it's fairly hard to recover from a mistake in that level as it usually means instant death. I suppose I'll just have to keep chugging along and hope it works out in the end.

I was the same. I must have played it 100 times before I got the star.

I watch youtube video but they didn't work. I can't remember the way I did it but I think I started at the sides and worked my way to the middle until I reached the other side that brings me to the exit point.

Scott Pilgrim is so good. I haven't bought it yet but I might do.

Shnitzel you will like the game for the music since it has tracks from Anamanaguchi.

Seriously if you genuinely think AP is the worst game you ever played then you either have stupidly high standards or you just haven't played very many games Razz

Well everyone has their opinions and mine is that it's one of the worst games on the xbox. Haven't played many games?Gamerscore lol. Maybe i was expecting too much of it after a few people said it was like ME. Ahh well too late now.

Got Bioshock 2 Special Edition for 30 euro on Smyths. Pretty good deal i must say and only had to trade in Lego HP
