Re: What game are you currently playing?
Just finished Homefront on the weekend. Back to playing BFBC2 online. Have my second varsity module starting next week, so no gaming for 6 weeks until assignments are in

Re: What game are you currently playing?
How was Homefront? Any good? Have considered getting it, but there are so many games these days that look good, but turn out to be very average.
Re: What game are you currently playing?
Homefront is apparently really good but WAY too short.

Re: What game are you currently playing?
The Homefront cover picture pretty much covers my thoughts on the game, ie. anyone that bought it needs to be taken in to the back yard, blindfolded and shot.
Ok, stuff I liked about the game. The weapons. Almost from the start you have access to pretty decent hardware and while a lot of the weapons are the same, just with a different red dot sight etc, it makes the game pretty decent. One issue I had with it is the limited ammunition count you can wear. When I did military service in South Africa our combat vests could take up to eight 30 round magazines. That was just in the designated pouches. It still could carry two days food, two litres of water, and even two 60mm mortar rounds in support of the platoon mortar team. Why on earth could I only carry like 80 rounds of ammunition on some weapons then?
Now let me start with my major gripes. Steam! It took me about 5 days to download the missing parts. It sucked! No SLI support. I played the entire game on one of my GTX460′s. This I could probably blame this on Nvidia though. The AI sucks…terribly.. The farm stage where you sneak past the enemies is a joke. Talking about the enemies, please can they look more realistic? At the Golden Gate bridge they look like Star Wars stormtroopers.. Wtf?
Huge gripe, the short single player compaign. Something like 4 hours, including having to retry some stages several times. Being a adult now, I buy games, I don’t bother pirating / copying them. It’s a pain anyway. When I spend my hard earned cash on a game, I want value for money. Far Cry 2, long objectives, intelligent AI, realistic weapons and awesome scenery = Win! BFBC2, It took a few nights to finish, love the multiplayer, never regretted buying the game. Mass Effect 2, I played the campaign twice! Loved it! Never regretted buying it.
Medal Of Honour 2010, while interesting, took way to quick to finish. Big regret. Metro 2033, interesting concept, made my machine work a bit due to full DX11 support, but also a regret, due to the same Steam *****, limited ammunition concept, and ridiculous level of difficulty in the end. Rumours of all sorts of issues with Crysis 2 including only DX9 support has put me off buying it.
If you bought Homefront, I’m sorry to hear it. Return the game, and smack the salesperson that sold it to you in good conscience.

Got Shift 2 and Crysis 2. Played both only for about 15 min each, but I liked what I saw so far

Re: What game are you currently playing?
Finished Crysis 2 and Dragon Age (again). Suppose I'll give The Force Unleashed 2 a try now and maybe Disciples III.

I kinda enjoyed that gamescavenger646 wrote:S.T.A.L.K.E.R Call of Pripyat
I'm playing F1 2010 which is really fun. Just not sure how to speed up my pit crew. 30second pit-stops is not cool.
Also playing BulletStorm. It gave me motion sickness in the begining. After that I started to really enjoy the game.

go play mass effect/2 then....Mystical_Titan wrote:I REALLY want to play Dragon Age 2...
where did you ever see an RPG where you can run around in circles avoiding mobs until you recharge enough to attack rpg for dummies... seriously disappointing...
for the record:
- :-rediscovering minecraft with weather, (which adds that something special), and
:-neighbours from hell - silly, but a delightful blend of entertaining and fiddly...

Re: What game are you currently playing?
The japanese Samurai/Ninjas used such tactics when they were outnumbered. Run away then when the groupd chases after you, obviously they dont run at the same pace and then the just keep fighting off the fastest. Not really the same as what you are saying but still somewhat related.rustypup wrote:where did you ever see an RPG where you can run around in circles avoiding mobs until you recharge enough to attack rpg for dummies... seriously disappointing... ]
