Has anyone tried playing any of the last 3 CODs on veteran? It's insanely hard, but if you turn up the sound and music, you feel as if your playing through an exagerated action movie

I hate the running missions. They don't tell you you're supposed to run for your life, and that the level is going to be different than some of the other ones in that they're going to have infinitely spawning enemies...which contrasts harshly with my preferred strategy of slowly and carefully picking the opposition off one by one when its most tactically advantageous for myself...:sour:Quote:

^ Someone have a little trouble with one of the Invasion levels did they? ;)
I would like to say that Sonic And The Black Knight is a must buy for everyone. Why? The theme song.
Insane, medieval themed rock music at it's best.
No actually, the Favela levels...Quote:

Yes, it was on easy. But it was while I was trying to show a hand full of middle schoolers how to play during GameZone at the library last Wednesday.
Besides, the song rocks. :up:
Yeah those could be annoying...not a fan of the run and gun playstyle either.Quote:

I can forgive all that because the set pieces it so desperately contrived to set up were fun to play (mostly)
But the multiplayer is unbalanced and unfun, yet people rave over it..just don't get it.
It's a good game, don't get me wrong, just not worthy of the gushing critical praise it received.
The first Modern Warfare was much better.
IMO.
Agreed. The story is utterly unbelievable for a game that is going for realism, and I more enjoyed it for seeing what absolutely batshit insane things they'd have you or your characters doing than because it had a good story...
Man! Just watched this vid - dunno why i didn't before.Quote:

Been playing loads of Dragon Age. It's very good. I like. :up:
I honestly thought modern warfare 2 was ridiculously easy on veteran. No level took more than 20 minutesQuote:

Just messing with the scenarios, probably won't build up enough interest to actually create a park.
Awesome..:):up:Quote:

Waiting for Myst: Uru's servers to come back online... Reddit overloaded them when Cyan announced that the game was free.
Only once - I started a park drunk on New Year's Eve a couple of years ago, and didn't finish. That was 2 computers ago, too. ;)Quote:

Just finished Bioshock. I'll be playing through the second one once I rent it.
Finished Assassin's Creed 2 recently, it was MUCH better than the first one. The missions were a lot less repetitive, and I loved the Assassin's Tomb levels, especially the first one in the under construction church. The music was beautiful, I've always loved Jesper Kyd's work. "Dream of Venice" is my favorite track: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KvZHAT7xHO4 I've read that Ezio's going to be the main character in part 3, and that makes me happy. I like him a lot better than Altair. The setting was a lot better as well, they were able to make the environments a lot more beautiful with the Italy setting. The moonlight reflecting off the water in Venice as you're running across the rooftops is just gorgeous.
I'm getting ready to play Fallout 3 finally, so I'm going to be off in lala land for a few months.
I've got this one sitting downstairs unopened. I never finished the first one, will I be missing a lot if I skip straight to the second?Quote:

Yeah, I bought a new comp in, um, December maybe?Quote:

And yes, I'm looking forward to Assassins Creed 2 on pc. One had a great concept but the grind get so repetitive I never finished it. Unlocked all cities, explored them but the missions ... gah!
AC2 starts with a few minutes of the protagonist recapping the events of the 1st game. He does a pretty good job, so you shouldn't be missing too much. Go ahead and read the game's Wikipedia page if you want more details.Quote:

scribblenauts can tell you a lot about your family. From the first couple of levels...
Get the star out of the tree:
Me: Axe
Brandy: Bomb (she blew herself up)
Brent: Shotgun
Jump the ramp better than the other guy:
Brandy: race car
Brent: Tank
Ocean: Bigger bike
Me: Rocket Ship!
This game isn't big on the action, but its an awesome time waster. :up:
It's really quite fun. I should grab someone's DS and play it for awhile.
Try attaching balloons to the bus. You can make it fly. :3Quote:

Apparently the game has multiple staging areas when you first turn it on. I built a pyramid of houses on the original, the game said something, and now everytime I turn it own my dude is on a volcano land.
Stayed up for hours last night completeing the Fallout 3 Experimental Cube. Its the most horrible combination of addiciting in the most confusing and depressing atmosphere I have ever seen in a game. And considering you can't leave until you beat it...
Here's the thing though. I really liked the little discussions the assassination targets had with Altair after you've killed them in the first one. Its what made me want to progress through that game. Now they've gone and removed them in the second one, so the only really interesting thing I have to make me want to play the game is finding all The Truth segments. That and if you have enough money (which is easy enough to get once you're able to invest in renovations), the game is much easier, as you can just purchase enough smoke bombs and poison make any large enemy encounter a breeze...Quote:

The thing about these games is there isn't any chance to be a gentlemen villain in these games. The perfect villain doesn't go around shouting abuse and insult at random people he meets, but in the game that's the 'evil' approach. Walking around with an "I am Evil" t-shirt and sign would be less conspicuous. I always end up playing the good guy in these games, because at the end of the day, these games are written for the good guy path.Quote:

I see your quoting an I knew you were Lewk. Oh wait no, that was Ogre ... damn. You're all Lewk!
Well, I only started a game BtS, and we never quite reached to Corporations. I'm also not very keen on dishing out the kind of money they want for extensions.
