  • What are you playing now?

    What a holiday season.

    1) Finished Modern Warfare 3 (on PS3 actually) and then got to lvl 12 or something on MP.

    2) Finished Uncharted 3. I liked it, but as we've discussed already it wasn't quite as fun as Uncharted 2. Because of that, I barely cracked the MP at all and that's a shame because I played a lot in the beta and liked it.

    3) Finished Battlefield 3 (on 360). zomg I never even touched the MP.

    4) Almost done with Arkham City (on PS3). Possibly my favorite game of 2011. Taking my sweet time with it.

    5) Played a bunch more Minecraft after 1.0 came out. Haven't tried 1.1 but am looking forward to it.

    6) Got Rage sitting on my stack to play. I'm actually excited about it, maybe because it reminds me of Borderlands and I loooovvveeeddd that game.

    7) Playing some Star Wars: The Old Republic. I kinda like it, but as we distinguished in the SWTOR thread so much WoW might have permanently burned me out of MMOs. We'll see.

    and have other unwrapped games on my stack including AC:Rev, FIFA 12, PES 12...

    9) And older games I never finished but want to go back to including God of War 3, Red Dead Redemption, Portal 2

    10) WTF no Skyrim? Yeah...I know. Gotta play it.

  • iOS 5

    Kinda old topic but after all this time I still haven't upgraded my iPhone 4 to iOS5. I hear it's fine now but was just curious if any iPhone 4 (and not 4S) users here have had any problems.

  • STALKER devs closed down?

    Newsbrief: GSC Game World said it's still at work on a sequel to the cult PC hit Stalker, but it needs funding in order to bring the game to completion.The official Stalker Facebook account revealed yesterday, "The Stalker team is extremely happy! Why? Because we are continuing work on Stalker 2 after the holidays." GSC spokesperson Oleg Yavorsky later told Edge-Online, "We are still in the process of seeking funding to back up the project. We are hopeful things turn out well eventually. The team really wants to see Stalker continue."

    The statements follow reports that GSC would be closing its doors.

  • Star Wars The Old Republic

    Eh...in game character textures aren't a big deal for me but yeah I get how some people get their panties in a bunch over it.

    Meanwhile, i only hit lvl 10 on my bounty hunter a day ago but I have yet to group up with anyone for anything. So I would agree it's basically single player. Still, i'm not really complaining yet, though maybe cause I was gifted a copy with an extra 60 days of free play time. Once that expires, should I still be interested in playing, i'm not sure yet if i will pay to play.

  • Star Wars The Old Republic

    A few random thoughts thus far:

    1) Yep...sticks to many WoW/MMO conventions. Certainly makes it easier to figure out the systems and game mechanics if you are a WoW or general MMO vet.

    2) Not sure what hooked me into WoW years ago...I guess it was (a) my already existing affinity for the Warcraft RTS franchise, especially WC 3; (b) the art design and how it gushed "friendly, magical fantasy experience" all over; © the idea of grinding levels actually appealed to me because at first it was so easy? (wtf??!!) ... I guess the game had warmth and depth that was refreshing even though I was mostly a shooter/action gamer and essentially turn based combat was a new thing to me.

    3) SWTOR does not have the same warmth that WoW has. It's not the grittiest thing, it's not the cutesy-est thing...I guess it's very Bioware-y which isn't bad cause they make some great games. This isn't to say I like WoW better, it's just that SWTOR has a different feel and that makes sense that it would (duh) but I just don't feel the same "whoa...this is amazing" feeling that I got after playing WoW for a couple of hours.

    Still, overall I like it and it's growing on me.

  • Star Wars The Old Republic

    Ok...I finally have time to start this thing up this week and check it out. So I go through all the shenanigans to get everything downloaded and installed...and the launcher says:

    You have 29 days of play time remaining. You must sign up for a recurring subscription plan or redeem a Game Time Code before you can play. If you sign up for a recurring subscription, you will be billed automatically at the end of your current remaining play time.

    WTF? If I have 29 days remaining of play time, why can't I log in? I have to commit to subscribing first? Fuck you, EA. Someone explain this idiocy to me.
