I noticed there's no catch-all thread for video games on site. I assume a lot of posters here are gamers, so how about posting what you're currently playing, as well as games you're waiting for, impressions and reviews.

What i'm currently playing:

DmC

FarCry 3

Darksiders 2

Dishonored

Will post my review on DmC soon.

Black Ops 2 and 2k13.

Black ops sucks but I play it the most because it's fun to play with friends online. 2k13 gets frustrating and boring quick but good game overall all. I like 2k12 better though.

All I really play right now is 2k13..but ill sometimes play Madden 13 and Black ops 2.

Nobody can even compete with me in 2K when I got the Clippers, I haven't lost to any of my friends yet and I'm 40-2 with the Clippers in online ranked games. I average like 40 PPG with Jamal Crawford and score near 100 points every time in 5 minute quarters.

That's cause the dunking in that game is unstoppable. Here's how it works

1)inbound ball
2)lob it across the court and pass to Griffen
3)Dunk with Griffen
4)Repeat process

You could do the same with LeBron since he's a cheat code.

I don't even do that though, I mainly dominate with CP3/Crawford in the mid range game. Crawford has like 90+ mid range and gets on fire so fast and literally wont miss.. I'm not saying I never throw oops to Blake Griffin and Deandre Jordan, but I'm honestly just really good at shooting and thats why I do good.

I agree though, dunking under the hoop is really dumb. Just to make a point to some guy doing it with Dwight Howard and saying its realistic, I just passed it to Deandre Jordan and dunked every play and shot like 23/25 from the field with him on pretty much all dunks and scored over 50 points with him, a guy who literally cant do anything but dunk.. Its so cheap and dumb. playing online is boring/retarded when people do the except same thing. Choose Heat/Lakers/Thudner and abuse the shit out of dunking with star players.

Lebron is just ridiculous by the way, he is unguardable. He just drives and dunks over everyone and gets AND1's and if you try taking that away for some reason he is automatic from mid-range and three.. I have so much trouble guarding him.

It's all good, I just get the Knocks and drain 3's all day. There's no stopping Melo when he's hot. I like to use my own team, the Nuggets, but they have no D. I'm very bad on defense, the only way I win is outscoring my opponent.

Edit:Of course you have trouble guarding LeBron. He's a 98 overall, dude is literally a cheat code.

Jasonbay44
01-25-2013, 11:54 PM
Yeah the Knicks are so nice. Melo and J.R. Smith bang everything.. I like using my own team also, but using the Wizards against Heat/Thunder/Lakers is not even fair in 2K, especially when the the game underrates the shit out of people.. Like Bradley Beal is such garbage in 2K.. I usually only use Wizards when my opponent is using someone who isn't Miami, OKC, Lakers, Clippers or Knicks. lol

Lebron is actually a 99 now, he is probably the best player I've ever seen in 2K, he shits on Michael Jordan on the legendary teams.

On default sliders 2k13 gets annoying but with more realistic sliders it's awesome.

I play BLOPS2 with friends online but I'm horrible at it. I stopped playing Madden 13 about a week after it came out. No franchise fantasy draft kills it. I play a lot of Halo 4 campaign and some spartan ops, but online multiplayer is just horrible. I can't play it without getting pissed off.

They added a patch a few months ago to Madden adding a fantasy draft for offline and online connected careers. Honestly though, I didn't like Madden at all this year, I absolutely hated the game-play.

Was playing Assassin's Creed II and Hitman Absolution, kinda burned out on video games right after I completed ACII and before I started playing Hitman. Probably won't play many video games until GTA V brings my interest back up, but I'm totally psyched for it to come out.

I play Madden 13 too I guess, but the Vikings suck and the tackling is just bullshit. Don't even try using the hit stick.

Otherwise, I just play MLB12 The Show (Road To The Show Mode), and Tiger Woods here and there.

what the fuck is jamal crawfords rating? oh my God, I couldn't take the shots he was making. Its fucking jamal crawford, not kobe bryant. sorry for rage quitting, but that 4th quarter was ridiculous.. I went down like 17-2 in 1st and couldnt climb back despite trying to go on runs. I cut it to 9 in the 4th then fucking jamal crawford scored like 10 straight points, including a 4 point play where he shot a fadeaway 3 over Shumpert and Chandler, got hammered by Chandler and still swished it. What the fuck

There was like 3 minutes left too I think, that motherfucker was going to score like 60 with him.

im fine with a temp ban, I deserve it after that. however, I would like to play again and have you use a different team and see how different you would play without crawford, because you literally scored like 60% of your points from him. I don't know why he is so good.

Jamal Crawford is always good in 2k. He is tall, has sick crossovers moves and has an automatic jumper. I can do same things I do with him with guys like Jordan Crawford, J.R. Smith, Joe Johnson, Klay Thompson, Nick Young, Kobe, etc.. Its really easy, especially if they have a good running jumper and fadeaway also.

I went down 10-0 and just quit. I was Pacers and didn't realize granger was hurt and I don't know how to shoot with any of these guys and he of course was dominating with Thaddeus Young who was 4-4 shooting with 10 points and 2 3's.

Were restarting because he was gonna blow me out, so looks like round 3. this one is mine though, I swear, no more bullshit. I'm using OKC, Knicks or Miami.

He was heat and I was Knicks and game lagged out when he was up 4 in 4th quarter.. he scored 2 points with wade, 10 with lebron.. 41 with ray allen, 20 with battier

I'm pretty sure he just dominates with guys who can shoot, I don't know, i don't get it, he took like 6 shots with lebron and had 19 assists with wade. All he did was drive and spin dunk or dish out for 3's

im getting closer though, I had it close that time, he isn't as good without clippers. hes better with crawford than with lebron :lol:

last game of day, hes wizards, im celtics I feel like i can win this one. if i lose, im done playing him tho.

I'd play but I would probably get lit up since 99% of the games I play are local, and I play them without fatigue or shot timing (it's bullshit in 2k13 so I disabled it).

Jasonbay44
01-29-2013, 09:21 PM
I don't mind fatigue in 5 minute quarters, players usually don't get tired in the 1st and 3rd quarters and 2 full timeouts in a row gets most players back all their energy.

I don't really see whats bullshit about shot timing though, its pretty easy to learn players jumpers, all you have to do is turn on shot feedback/shot quality and it gives you grade for shots and tells you how you're release is (early, perfect, late).

Jacoby_Ellsbury
01-29-2013, 09:30 PM
Yeah I play 8 or 9 minute quarters. I prefer the final score to be something in the ballpark of what a real NBA final score would look like. Don't know why, I just do. So I go with the lengthier quarters.

Shot timing was fine in past games but in my experience if you're off by even a smidge in 2k13, it's a clank. Actually it's a player-by-player case. With shot timing active I can't hit dick with Kobe or Ray Allen, even if it says I timed it right. Especially Kobe. But Battier's automatic with shot timing active, but with real player % he blows. It's weird.

Wizards have some kid named Jordan Crawford, apparently hes a shooting guard, with the last name crawford, who is similar height and except same playstyle.. and of course he is as good as jamal crawford for no reason.

I don't get this game. he is making everything with jordan crawford and I cant make shit with paul pierce..

If I'm playing offline (which I usually don't, I just hate playing CPU) I like the scores to be realistic, but online I really don't care.

I know what you mean about shot timing though. Kobe is so weird in this game, he'll miss wide open jumpers with perfect releases, but he'll make fadeaway jumpers with late releases. I've never used Battier with real player %, but with regular settings he is a beast. He is literally automatic from 3, which is why the Heat are the best team in the game by far. Lebron and Wade score every time in the paint and Allen/Battier are automatic from 3 and Bosh has one of the best mid range jumpers in the game.

If anybody is up for a game, ill play.

italstallianion
05-31-2013, 08:31 AM
I loved the story line and the graphics but I hated the gameplay of Max Payne 3 to be honest. That's probably because I'm so used to the Grand Theft Auto controls and my style of shooter is a bit different than in Max Payne 3. Plus I don't think it has any cheats which made it very frustrating.

I'm honestly a mediocre quality gamer so Max Payne 3 was too hard for me. At least with Grand Theft Auto you can cheat and play at your own pace. With Max Payne 3 I was like "fuck it I'm done" really quickly, but the youtube walkthrough watching the gameplay and storyline was awesome.

I actually have the original Max Payne still in it's plastic because I forgot to take it out and lost it before I could play it for PS2. The series is pretty good, but obviously GTA is Rockstar's best imo.

I did. Granted I played it for like 10 minutes and got overwhelmed with the differences between MP3 and GTA and just said fuck it. I'd probably get used to the controls eventually. I'm more of a "trench warfare" gunner/sniper rather than a speed it up Rambo shooter. I'll probably return and try again eventually. I just have a long standing beef with hard video games that don't have easily adjustable settings (or cheats) to make it so the majority of players can beat it.

I'll openly admit I'm mediocre at best at a lot of these games. MP3 is still impressive, as most difficult games I'd throw in the garbage or "Office Space" if you know what I mean. MP3 looks awesome.

This is pretty much how I play most games the last couple of years. As a former DOTA player, it just seems silly for a virtual game to leave me frustrated and unhappy -- especially with one player games where you have a legitimate option for giving yourself a better experience. It also makes it easier to do speed-runs when you're low on time in life.... which at this point is every week.

I'm not really feeling the whole "social aspect" engrained in the PS4 either. Considering I hate playing games with other people (in addition to hating other people in general) I feel like the PS4 isn't really made for me. Not to mention I'm still playing MLB The Show 2010 and just recently was playing Mario 64, I think I'll do fine without the PS4.

On another note, of the 3 games I bought recently, in terms of gameplay I'd go LA Noire >>> Red Dead Redemption >>> Max Payne 3, but in terms of plot/story and watching the game be played (if I didn't suck at gaming) I'd go Max Payne 3 >>> LA Noire >>> Red Dead Redemption.

Don't worry, I fully intend to give Max Payne 3 another chance per your recommendation. Most games in that situation would end up in the garbage or murdered via baseball bat, but I'll give it a another shot.

But if I hate it again I'm going to pull out a shotgun and give it another shot.

UN,

I have decided per your request to give Max Payne 3 another chance. For some reason, after playing LA Noire and Red Dead Redemption (two other Rockstar Games) to 100% completion, I'm getting the hang of Max Payne 3 a little. I'm probably about two-thirds through now, which is surprising considering I left the game for dead in the second chapter.

Anyway, I still put this behind LA Noire, Red Dead Redemption, and any Grand Theft Auto. It's a good game to watch, and it'd be a great movie, but I hate many aspects of the gameplay. Here are some thoughts I had while I'm playing the game so I don't forget.

1. There are no cheats. If you search online, the only "cheats" are things like "beat the game on hard and you can get unlimited ammo"....which sucks because I need unlimited ammo to beat the game on easy. Grand Theft Auto's typically have health and weapon cheats. There have been a dozen times I've been stranded without ammo and just said "fuck it" and let them kill me so I can start over.

2. There is no blip. In "levels" like the favelas it becomes difficult to see where enemies are, and when I "turtle", not only do the enemies aggressively attack, but they will circle around you and kill you from all sides. A blip would help keep the blind side covered.

3. Some of the "dead cam" shots are not actually the end of the battle as when I've moved around to collect ammo and painkillers some more guys show up and wipe me out.

4. The "easy mode lock on" feature typically targets the enemies' chest, which is fine unless you're facing the soldiers with some kind of bulletproof vests, or you're facing an enemy in cover. I can't tell you how many times I've locked on to the top of the enemies' cover like a railing or office chair.

5. I'm finding it difficult to fire at the enemy I want to fire at. Again the lock on feature seems to choose, and in my opinion, choose incorrectly.

6. The game doesn't do a good job of telling you what to do in some cases. I had to look at an online walkthrough to figure out that I needed to attack the Jersey dudes in the graveyard and then go to the side to get the sniper, only in between Passos' cover fire, or when you had to turn the gas leaks off, or run after the kidnappers in the second chapter (where I kept failing for trying to turtle) A lot of these scenarios I needed to watch someone beat it online in order to get a good idea of what to do or what's coming. A game like Grand Theft Auto typically makes it easier to figure it out.

Overall the game is good, great to watch, ok to play. But yeah, once I finish the game it's going to stay on a shelf forever unless I give it away. Definitely not a replay game imo. You have no idea how many times I've yelled obscenities at my TV and threatened to smash it with a baseball bat.

and 7. After cutscenes the game randomly defaults to certain weapons other than what I was using. Yeah, so I was mowing people down with an assault rifle and then a cutscene happens that puts me in front of 10+ enemies, lets default him to using the pistol.

I swear to god if I was typing as I was playing the game earlier my list of things I hate about Max Payne 3 would be twice as long. I can't wait to finish it.

8. Whoever came up with the airport fighting scenes needs to go to hell and die. Now.

Edit: Yeah I'm done with MP3. It'll stay on the shelf and collect dust and laugh at me. I'm not even going to try again on the last chapter. The game can go fuck itself and think about what it's doing wrong until it wants to get easier and then it can let me know. I give up. Scene is impossible for me without one of those blips showing where the enemies are or an occasional health or ammo, or some fucking cheats for fuck sakes. I'm retiring from that crap. Just another game not worth finishing. It's a shame that I got so close to the end too.

The problem with Sen's is that the best weapons to kill the Lizardmen are unavailable early in the game. I came in with the Drake sword, and it took several hits to kill each of them, all while crossing catwalks, avoiding swinging and firing traps. Once I picked up the lightning spear, life became much easier. I thought online was completely random wasn't it? My save is a tank with pyro skills who just finished his first playthrough.

09-22-2013, 02:13 PM
So you need to finish a game to say it's the best game ever? Even if the game takes a huge shit on everyone with some kind of plot twist, the way the game plays and all of the details like people recording fights with their phones and being able to rob people after they've just withdrawn money from the ATM is what makes this game great.

Story means a lot for games like Halo and Call Of Duty, where the only thing anyone cares about is online play, but this is an open world game. So far the story's been good too, even though it doesn't need to be.

Yeah. You do. If it's the best game ever, then an awesome story is a requisite, it's also gotta work in its entirety (without some game breaking glitch) and have no other technical problems .

To me, games like FF can't hold a candle to the GTA series. So much is put into a game like GTA; the advertisements, political atmosphere, social networking and all of the characters down to the civilians on the street. Practically everything is a criticism of American culture, and it's so over-the-top that regardless of what your stance is, it's funny.

Rockstar is just always raising the bar, because their games just get better with every release and they don't attempt to recycle the same old shit. GTA IV was a game a lot of people didn't like, but it was still better than almost any other game that had been released up to that point.

To RSFFL and UN I hated the flying missions of San Andreas more than this one thus far. I actually prefer the helicopter controls over the airplane ones, since I find it easier to stabilize the helicopter and recalibrate my moves. (In other words turtle my fat ass to the destination)

I'm having a tough time reading the GPS correctly, I always make my turn a street too early. One thing I don't like is that there doesn't appear to be the same cheats as in other games. I basically just use the Wanted Cheat, but I'd love a weapons/armor cheat, and if I really get lazy, a money cheat.

It's a good thing they didn't add those cheats. It takes away some of the fun/challenges of the game. They're mission where you can make a shitload of money, no need for cheats. Money means more guns/ammo. You could get all this within 2 seconds if the cheat existed, but don't you think it's more interesting without them? You appreciate video games in general more when you don't use cheats.

Also, completed the game now, and the last mission I could kind of see coming. I was disappointed by how easy it was compared to the missions leading up to it. I took option C, btw.

How the hell did Lost Planet 3 get such shitty reviews? It's a damn fine game.

I did the same. Now I'm doing all that time consuming small stuff to get to 100%. I'm in the middle of a triathlon that's on pause because I'm about 25 minutes in and my thumbs are killing me. And I'm not winning at the moment either so I might have to do it over again. If I do then that'll be one of my few complaints about the game.

I heard option C was the best option. I'm just getting reunited with Trevor after him and Michael were on bad terms. I hope I'm close to the ending.

I'm at just under 80% completion so I'll probably play for a few more days. I think I'm running out of steam before I switch back to MLB The Show. Some of my friends want to come over and play the game too so that'll give me some time off.

You were close to the ending and probably already made it to the end, but yeah C was good. I'll have to see how A and B play out.

I'm on another forum where some people are trying to rain on the GTA parade by saying "it's just another GTA, it's not like a groundbreaking game or anything" and even saying that the Saints Row series is better. I hate stupid people.

It's a matter of preference and opinion. GTA V is better (IMO) than any of the Saints Row games, but i have friends who swear by SR4 although i thought that one's kinda crazy for my taste. However, my buddies finished both games, and they like SR4 better. Have you played it?

Also (IMO again, before some of the self-proclaimed video game experts come here giving me shit and presenting opinion as fact) i think Last Of Us is overall a better game than GTA V, and the GOTY will be a dead heat between them.

I've watched video walkthroughs of the SR series (and the earlier Max Paynes) but haven't physically played them.

SR3 is really really really good, and if you like wacky shit and slapstick humor (and i think you do) you will very much enjoy 4.

I will say, whoever came up with the idea of the flight school being part of the 100% can go fuck themselves, especially whoever created the timing for the helicopter speed course. I missed the bronze medal time by less than a second, and that was going 110% speed for me.

It's speed OR going through the checkpoints, the game can't demand both.

The last of us was a great game. I was sold on it being GOTY. I own and have played both. I think GTA V will take this one.

I am slowly inching towards 100%. I think I'm going to need Youtube's help to do the collecting parts. I don't even know how to "start" the spaceship or letter collection missions. Does something trigger them or do I just start collecting pieces?

They're random events. The letter collection triggered for me when i randomly found the first one, and the spaceship one is a "Strangers and Freaks" event.

Yeah, fuckin' video game experts and their looking at more than just story mode. They obviously think their opinions are facts I mean, they really should say IMO or IMHO before every post to clarify that their opinions are just opinions, and that they don't actually think that what they're saying is fact. That'd be ridiculous, man.

LOL

I just found the whole "Epsilon" thing by searching the mission name on Youtube. That might be the only use of the checklist in your phone.

Is there rhyme or reason to triggering the street races? I thought I did one as a regular mission but I can't find any on my map. I've done all the offroad bike/truck and sea races, but I can't find any of the street races on my blip. Do I have to call someone to organize them?

After you do the first one (Which is a Strangers and Freaks "?" event for Franklin) you can only find the rest on his map between 8 PM and 5 AM.

Thank you so much for the answer. I had no idea it was time dependent. It took me a while to figure out that it was just Franklin in the first place.

My TV has been slowly not working over the past few days so it looks like my plans to finish that (and my old MLB The Show RTTS File) are put on hold for a while. Damn it.

Right now I'm marathoning Legacy of Goku II in a desperate attempt to distract myself from my own hell in progress.

Best combat of the series, hands down. I really wish they kept the charged melee attacks for Buu's Fury. I like the fact that you can level up faster in that game and allocate stats as you please, but there's zero combat variety and there's almost never a reason to use your energy attacks since half the overworld enemies have shields it seems like. It's literally just punch, rundown, punch, rundown, repeat.

Batman: Arkham Origins getting lambasted by the video game "critics". What a shitload of fuck. It's a great game.

I get that it's very similar to Arkham City, but what did they expect? That game was very close to being perfect.

Next year probably. I got a ps2 and ps3 early in their life cycles, and it wasn't worth it. You pay more for the system, more for first-party accessories, you pay full price for all the games -- and most of them are rushed and not that good. Although, I found that new consoles are where you will find the most value in a service like Gamefly. That being said, I'm cheap, and other people enjoy being an early adopter enough to shell out.

I never get consoles until the second or third generation and all the bugs and shit have been ironed out.

I've never had any issues with the PS system and I all bought them within a month of being released. Reason I want to wait is because it gets cheaper.
