Friday, 07-Oct-11 12:20:22 UTC from web-

Friday, 07-Oct-11 12:21:06 UTC from web-

Friday, 07-Oct-11 12:22:53 UTC from web-
@chillman23 Haha well that's a little better. ^^ Now you just need cartoons and cereal.

@ceruleanspark @flaxx @nerthos Nothing puts hair on your chest more than staring down the barrel of a loaded Cyberdemon.
Friday, 07-Oct-11 12:33:03 UTC from web-
@jinny But still HL is like best fps ever.
Friday, 07-Oct-11 12:34:14 UTC from web-
@nerthos @flaxx Sure it does, because of it's overbearing story, fully polygonal graphics, and not 2.5Dness. xD
Friday, 07-Oct-11 12:36:00 UTC from web-
@jinny So if we reduced the graphics but left everything exactly as it is, it'd be a better game?

@jinny Oh well, to each their own I guess. Still, it's a great game, and I like it. So I'm gonna play it anyway.

@flaxx I'm pretty sure we've been doing the almost opposite of that for the past how many years. We just remake old games and port them to better systems, pretty up the graphics, and add a bit of new content. It's like the Renaissance of video games.
Friday, 07-Oct-11 12:41:02 UTC from web-
@fallinwinter Yeah there's not really anything new or fresh anymore. Which is why I live in the past. *Cool guy shades*
Friday, 07-Oct-11 12:42:02 UTC from web-
@jinny There is. You're just not going to find it in AAA headline titles. Shareholders want safe, predictable, run of the mill, not novel and innovative.
-
@ceruleanspark Haha I've not bought an AAA title for like 10 years. xD Maybe an XXX but not an AAA. XD

@fallinwinter Killer 7 and No More Heroes 1/2 were the last two games I felt that were original enough for me to actually care. xD
Friday, 07-Oct-11 12:42:43 UTC from web-
@jinny I couldn't play No More Heroes. I find it too... IDK "for teenagers" too much useless blood and that.
Friday, 07-Oct-11 12:44:56 UTC from web-
@nerthos I'll admit, I am biased, as I was/am a Goichi Suda fanboy before playing NMH. It just oozed his creativity and charm though. The whole thing is a social satire so I just loved it. xD Just like how Killer7 was a political satire.
Friday, 07-Oct-11 12:51:46 UTC from web-
@jinny I saw it when my brother downloaded it and played in the wii.

@fallinwinter Pretty much, yeah. Not saying they're not making good games anymore, but most of my favorite games (if not all) are old.
Friday, 07-Oct-11 12:45:20 UTC from web-
@flaxx I know what you mean. It's kind of sad when I realize that half the games I bought just collect dust after playing it for a week or so.
Friday, 07-Oct-11 12:47:52 UTC from web-
@fallinwinter Yep, same here. Oh well, I always have my old but gold games.
Friday, 07-Oct-11 12:52:14 UTC from web-
@flaxx @fallinwinter Just become an old man like me, telling damn foals to get off his lawn. xD

@fallinwinter Yeah. This is why I stopped caring. xD

@jinny The story in Half Life 2 was awesome IMO, if you want an overbearing story, look no further than Gears of War 2, and from what I'm told the third one as well. (going to be renting ut soon)

@jinny I liked the first one, it was a techichal marvel when it came out back in 2006, and the writing/story were so bad that they were awesome, and I loved. Gears 2 was a carbon clone and the marvel/novelty had long worn off, and the story tried to become all emotional, with Dom trying to find that wife of his that he never mentioned once in the first game...it was nothing short of a disaster.
-
@leonkfox Haha yeah, it wasn't bad the first one. I played it briefly at a relatives home, and it wasn't bad. It wasn't spectacularly original, but it at least tried. Cliff Bleszinski though is unbearable to say the least so that gives me a Pavlovian aversion to the Gears franchise too. xD
Friday, 07-Oct-11 12:48:29 UTC from web-
@jinny The first game is one you really had to play as soon as it came out, or within a year at least. The at times humourous writing and techichal marvel were the reasons I loved it so much, but if I played it now I have serious doubts as to whether or not I'd enjoy it nearly as much.

@leonkfox Yeah, I don't play Gears for the story. It went downhill in 2 and the 3rd doesn't get any better. I do like how much they fixed the gameplay up even in multiplayer. The only large problem I have is the inclusion of the Sawn off shotgun.
Friday, 07-Oct-11 12:43:26 UTC from web-
@fallinwinter I am going to play the third game, but after how much of a let down Gears of War 2 was to me back in 2008, it's going to be a rent, for certain.
-
@leonkfox I can't necessarily judge whether it warrants a buy or rent, but I will say that it stepped things up greatly after how bad gears of war 2 was. The Campaign, Horde mode, and beast mode are fun with friends. (Don't expect a good story of course) Multiplayer is fun again as long as you have people you can play with (random teammates online are usually bad, the AI replacement bots are worse) and the other team often uses the cheap tactics (aka the Sawn-off "I'm going to kill you no matter where you are as long as I'm near you." Shotgun) which really needs to be fixed or removed. Other than that, a better experience than GOW 2. However, nowhere near what I enjoyed from the original.
Friday, 07-Oct-11 12:55:12 UTC from web-
@fallinwinter I think I'm going to go with a rental, ordered it via Love Film just now, I may buy it in the future when it's dirt cheap for collector's purposes.

@jinny But it's an awesome game. I still play HL1
Friday, 07-Oct-11 12:29:39 UTC from web-
@nerthos HL1 is one of the best FPS ever. Seriously, I love that game.
Friday, 07-Oct-11 12:30:41 UTC from web-
@flaxx Who could not. I still need a mod to play the endless grunt level, at the end of the game.

@jinny HL2 is for 8 year olds? You're sure you're not thinking of the newer CoD games?

@jinny Of course. 3d doesn't make anything worse, though. Graphics doesn't matter. Gameplay does.

@jinny Which in no way whatsoever makes HL2 a worse game.

@fallinwinter Of course, story matters as well. I'm just saying that gameplay is more important than graphics.
