Generic video games thread
on the go:
final fantasy xiii-2 (ps3) i got this cheap – on the basis of having mostly enjoyed ff xiii – and played it on and off from may-august last year. haven't really been able to get back into it since then. i'll finish it eventually (i'm going to have a lot of down time in february so probably then) and then sell my ps3, i think. i mostly only use it to watch blu-rays and since i got an apple tv that hardly ever happens legend of zelda: ocarina of time 3d (3ds) i never played the original ocarina of time so this was an obvious purchase when it came out in 2011. but i played it for about an hour and gave up on it. then super mario 3d land came out and stole my attention… then i kind of forgot about the 3ds. anyway, i've picked this back up again and although it does seem pretty dated (slow, repetitious) i'm still enjoying it quite a lot. recently played: the room (iOS) short and sweet. and cheap. a bit obvious about half the time but pleasantly creative puzzles for the rest. hooked me for a few hours – exactly what i want from a game these days. devoting dozens of hours to a single title used to feel like good value for money, but now it just seems like an insane waste of time abandoned: sonic cd (iOS) got this for a dollar or two on my ipad a day or two after christmas. fun for about 15 minutes. the sonic games' high-speed-plus-cheap-obstacles formula has aged terribly. |
what's final fantasy 13 like i heard the plot is useless
i've been playing 6 and 12 and i just started 5. none of them are finished. i'm 100 hours into 12 and i think i'm like halfway through i can't tell. |
i don't care if spending hundereds of hours on games is an insane waste of time, i find living to be a waste of time in general

xii has i think the best battle/dev system of all the ff games but one of the dumbest plots (and that's saying something). you're probably closer to the end than you think – from memory it totally goes off the rails at around the "feels like 2/3 through" point and gets ridiculous like it's going out of fashion. at the time i couldn't help wondering if they ran out of time/money and thought well, fuck it, let's just wrap things up now and ship the bastard never liked vi that much (yeah yeah), haven't played v |

it's a stupid game. but fun
that being said my favourite part, aside from the levelling system and complete lack of random encounters, was setting up the levelling loop in that desert temple and just leaving it running for a few days, then whipping through the rest of the game really quickly video game stockholm syndrome 'fun' i should say |
yeah i'm determined not to do the autoleveling. balty's almost at 50 anyway, everyone else is about 5 levels behind, except vaan because i hate him
i'm now at the part after draklor and going all the way to the south through the feywood to girugenvian or w/e to get another rock because war |
well, that's your choice. YOU'LL REGRET IT
|
you think ?
|
not really. you will regret it though

Crash Bandicoot
Crash bandicoot is a orange bandicoot with a big jump and a cool spin move and he goes to the mad scientists house on the island and you have to spin some turtles and plants and get lots of apples too it's the most fun game on my cousins playstation but i can only play it at my cousins house and that sucks |
In my spare time I run or play piano but there's no thread for those things so i read this one instead. I don't understand games. Except board games.
|
Just got into Civ V again. It's even more fun with the Gods & Kings extension.
|
We're all just killin' time.

i just got done playing walking dead. jesus what an amazing game. the acting is (generally) better than the show :erm:
I'm halfway through hotline miami. if you have steam and dobn't have this, drop what you're doing and get this now. i started up baldur's gate because i'm trying to get into oldschool PC rpgs. about 30 mins into it its ok i quit playing far cry 3 on xmas but picked it back up again... getting into it again. at first it rubbed me the wrong way for a few reasons but now i'm feeling it i guess |
Oh FFS.

That was about me, not you, 66,

deadlight on 360. zombie sidescrolling awesome.
happy action theater with kinect. i worked on this and jerk off in bed while hot lava surrounds me. wanna film a porn with it. borderlands 2 on 360. plants vs. zombies on iphone. |
I don't know what to play anymore. I was out of the video game loop for many years and then purchased a 360 real cheap a few years back. I love the Rockstar games... Red Dead is probably the best video game I have ever played, I am currently working my way through it for a third time. I would like to play some more games, but I am kind of afraid of spending so much cash on something I am afraid I won't like. I bought Banjo-Kazooie and Perfect Dark for the 360 cause I loved their N64 counterparts, but they both kind of sucked and were really boring to play. suggestions plz to tide me over until GTA V?
