Wojo 2,453 Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 Good news, albeit a few days old, for our friends who want to play games on Mac and want to play the kind of games offered by GOG (Good Old Games): GOG now offers Mac support!http://www.gog.com/n...gogcom_goes_mac(And no, GOG doesn't offer only games from the cold, dark 1990s. They carry newer games like Witcher 1 and 2.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koray Savas 2,251 Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 So if you spend $100 on the PSN this month you get $20 to spend in November.So far I've already spent $42 between Killzone HD, The Unfinished Swan, and Tokyo Jungle. Another $58 will get me that $20 which would net me the next Ratchet game for free.It's a lot harder to spend that money than I thought it would be. A full-priced game would do it instantly, but I'd rather own something like Dishonored on disc for the same price than have it taking up precious hard drive space on my PS3. I'm fairly certain I don't even have enough space for it right now.I did some browsing and I could reach it if i get the new DLC for Dark Souls, the story DLC for Mass Effect 3, a costume pack for Tokyo Jungle, and a handful of PS2 Classics, specifically Red Faction, Red Faction II, and Winback.Problem is, I know I'd probably never play any of those.

Wojo 2,453 Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 I played Skyrim yesterday, for the first time in four months. I beat the Meridia quest where you get the Dawnguard sword for clearing out the temple...but I already had a copy of the sword because of a glitch. Many months ago, I placed an Imperial longsword into the display rack in my Breezehome mansion, and it spat out Dawnguard. I whispered "thank you" and went out about my day.That's a good glitch. Bad glitch is when I'm at some dwemer ruin in the far northwest corner of the map. I pull the lever and the portcullis drops, but I can't enter the ruin; it's triggered by a quest that I don't have. Ok. I run outside and bring Lydia with me. I push the lever and run inside the gate before it slams shut, locking me inside and Lydia outside. And there is no safety release on the inside; poor level design. Maybe I can now enter the ruin? Nope, the vines are still there, and no amount of fire breath and flame spell and hacking with my two-handed axe puts a scratch in the plants. Then I hear footsteps behind me and see Lydia dancing around. Somehow she either fit through the bars in the gate or she jumped over the wall to land inside the chamber with me. Either way, this kind of logic-defying glitchiness is enough to make me skip the game another four months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koray Savas 2,251 Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 Yeah, may as well spend the extra $58 and secure that 20.Trust me to find ways to spend money unnecessarily. Finished Dishonored last week. Excellent game with lots to see and do and a decent little plot, 8/10.Next up XCOM: Enemy Unknown. And then Haaaaaaaalo! Fucking YES.I feel like I've mentioned it, but I'll be getting Dishonored when the price drops. Glad to hear it's good though; it looks like a nice mash-up of BioShock and... well, I don't know.I've been playing Medal Of Honor: Warfighter. IGN trashed it for being the same ol' FPS, yet praises Call Of Duty every year for some reason. It's more or less Battlefield without the expansive maps and vehicles, which is what I didn't like about Battlefield 3. Unfortunately multiplayer looks worse than BF3 on the same engine. There are glitches galore, as if the game can't handle too much at one time. If I slide into prone behind cover while shooting and then try to reload, my gun will fuck up. It'll reload, but delayed a couple seconds and sans the actual animation (the meter will just fill up), and my gun won't fire for a certain period of time, causing me to die in cases in which I could have easily killed a random passerby. Sound will cut out frequently, and bullets won't register through certain objects that clearly have gaps in them... stuff like that. I'm still enjoying it though, and there are a ton of weapons and attachments to unlock. It has a nice cover system, which I honestly think is a first in the FPS genre. Can't recall any other military shooter that implemented one other than running around and ducking behind objects. Here, holding L2 will allow you to peek left, right, and up around cover and corners. Tomahawking isn't a one hit kill unlike the super knives in COD, and the maps are nicely varied. No perks, no insane killstreaks, just good ol' tactical shooting. Graphics are insanely good in the campaign. Cut scenes must have been motion capped, the faces look real.Black Ops 2 is the only other game I'll be getting this year, unless Assassin's Creed III drops as fast as Revelations did.

Quintus 5,399 Posted October 30, 2012 Author Share Posted October 30, 2012 BF3 has a Team Deathmatch mode Koray with LOADS of much smaller, vehicle-free maps. I play it a LOT, friggin' love it. It's hard, though. Dishonored is definitely Bioshock meets Assassins Creed meets Thief. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koray Savas 2,251 Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 Yeah but that map pack costs $15, and I always found BF3 to be a bit sluggish. Rage is the only shooter I've played that was able to match the smooth accuracy of COD. Guess it's all in the frames-per-second. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I rarely play on them. In BF3, every single map in the game has a shrunken down version which is used for Team Deathmatch. They basically just cut a little section out of the large Conquest maps, the part with the most 'busy' terrain and it works perfectly. Of course, it's a very hard game, though. Won't appeal to everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koray Savas 2,251 Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 Really? I remember TDM having vehicles too. Oh well, I only really played it for the first month. I liked it, but once MW3 came out all my friends switched over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quintus 5,399 Posted October 30, 2012 Author Share Posted October 30, 2012 Yeah, I play BF3 PC alone. Next week though my friends, brother and I shall congregate around Halo 4. Some will be returning from BF3 Xbox, some from CoD and others from Gears of War. It's our ritual.Oh and there are no vehicles in Team Deathmatch. I think you're possibly confusing it with Squad TD, which does have a single vehicle for teams to fight over, but on much larger maps than those in infantry TD.

I think you're possibly confusing it with Squad TD, which does have a single vehicle for teams to fight over, but on much larger maps than those in infantry TD.Or maybe I just played Conquest or whatever that bomb planting one was. It was about a year ago so I can't remember fully. I did play through the co-op missions though with a friend just a week ago. He needed help getting some trophies and I'd get them as well so I thought why not. We still were never able to do the one in which you have to rescue the hostages without being spotted. The delays in the mic make sniping the targets at the same time quite difficult. We adapted pretty well to it and got all the way to the end, but somehow one of us always messes up. Played that fucking thing 30+ times.Good lord Assassin's Creed III looks breathtaking. I'm tempted to pick it up before the price drops. Looks like they made the final one the best one, though that was what I always expected considering each one was better than the last.I also forgot about Need For Speed: Most Wanted. I don't understand why EA abandoned the Burnout series. That one was always more about the arcade style racing and crashing, with NFS more about outgunning cops and beating times. Seems like they just combined them and Criterion is working under the Need For Speed banner. It looks fantastic all the same, but Burnout is where it all started for me and I'd like that name to live on.Hopefully these two get considerable drops for Black Friday.

Quintus 5,399 Posted November 7, 2012 Author Share Posted November 7, 2012 I never thought I'd see better console fps graphics this gen than Killzone 3, but fuck me 343 Industries did it. Some how, Halo 4 looks as good as Killzone 3 - but instead of tiny, rigidly scripted corridor missions with no physics and lots of smoke and mirrors rudely interrupted every five minutes by annoying cut scenes - Halo 4 offers large expansive sandboxes rich in emergence and crazy silly physics flying past your head every left right and centre. How they've managed to build such wide open game spaces, packed full of strategic and unpredictable opportunities with such high fidelity is fucking witchcraft. I'm only half way through the campaign so it's too early to say anything lasting about the game itself (so far it's been brilliant), but on a purely technical level this is by far the most impressive console game I've ever seen. The imminent Digital Foundry article on it will be essential reading in that regard. Ren 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Koray Savas 2,251 Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 Can't believe Black Ops 2 is already out on Tuesday. I need a longer gap to enjoy other games I've been playing MOH Warfighter like crazy to take advantage of its active servers because y'know it's going to be dead by the end of the year. Haven't even bothered touching the campaign since day one because I know I can do all that later during the Summer downtime. I also predict COD will absorb most of my limited playtime.

Call Of Duty is what Goldeneye would have been if it were made today. It got shit reviews, but so did Goldeneye Reloaded, but they're really nothing other than throwaway fun. Not serious gaming. I'll pick up both when they reach <$20. I've bought every Bond game since that classic on N64. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
