So, I just got Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Future Soldier, and its good. But I have issues with it, it takes forever to load a checkpoint, or even the guns in the gunsmithing menu firstly, secondly, the game is buggy, I've had squad mates fall through the ground for no reason, and the team AI can be downright stupid, standing in place preventing me from completing the level so I have to reload the last checkpoint. Also, I don't know if its what the AI is supposed to do but they don't move out of an area if there are enemies, even if I sneak past two of them and get to the LZ, they want me to kill the last two guys because, they exist? It just doesn't make sense because its a sneaking mission, I'm trying to leave as little of a trace as possible, not a huge body count. And lastly, it has a heavy stealth focus, and if you have played a stealth action game, like Hitman or Metal Gear Solid, if you kill someone, whats one of the first things you do? Move the body. Future Soldier, doesn't let you do that, AT ALL. And that's downright stupid when you consider that there are sections and even entire missions where you can't raise alarms, you will kill someone in a spot you think is safe, move on, and someone will discover it. It also makes less sense when you factor in that you have a stealth suit, so why not the ability to drag bodies?

Anyways, its a good game and I enjoy it, if anyone has it on Xbox 360 lets do some co-op

Here's hoping. ^_^

I don't know why, but video games just don't appeal to me anymore.
They are pretty boring for me nowadays. This applies not only to a select few games, but all games.
Maybe I wasn't really a gamer in the first place.

Planetside 2 trailer is out

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=41QFL4QB ... r_embedded

Max Anarchy is completely available in English.
To put a short version of what Max Anarchy is, imagine if Mad World, Devil May Cry, and Bayonetta had online multiplayer.
Despite the game only being released in japan the entire game is translated into English. Full voice acting and menus. Works online in other countries, AND absolutely zero region locking. There is absolutely no reason to wait for the American release or any other country for that matter. Despite it being fully available in English, French and Spanish, Sega is waiting for Q1 2013 to actually release it stateside.

I don't understand Sega.

I'll agree with that, some of the creatures listed have me kinda going 'Say wha...?', but other than that it does seem very interesting/awesome.

Oh god why would you do that.

I think that looks fun.
It's defiantly unique in terms of what you're trying to fight off; something other than an opposing side in a war or something supernatural. I'd really like to try that out one day. The Pomeranian I think is funny.

Sega Smash Pack 2 for the PC is probably one of my favorite video games of all time.

It came out when I was about to turn five, and I'm pretty sure my dad had bought it new because I loved Sonic the Hedgehog as a kid. I think I played it back when I was that young too, but I vaguely remember that long ago.
Our family's first computer was an eMachine and after I basically destroyed it (from putting a game disc back in every time when I'd go to play it, and thus just eating all the system memory), we re-installed the game a few years later when we got our Dell PC. That's when I was getting old enough to appreciate a good game when I played one.
By the time we had to wipe the Dell for virus reasons, the disc was too beat up to run again and I lost it.

Shining Force was my favorite, and Sonic, Flicky, Kid Chameleon, and Vectorman 2 were all great too.

I did, however, find this: http://www.sega.com/retailers/?g=6040 which totally made me excited. I'm gonna go look for the other ones and slowly but surely try to purchase at least Shining Force, Sonic, and Flicky for the PC.

I miss Sonic's heyday. Those were good times.

Hnn, that was a golden era in gaming. Games weren't as complex because of the limitations of the consoles but they were still just as, if not more, challenging as the games of today.

Speaking of Sega, and on a topic form a little back. It seems PSO2 is gonna be free to play. Whether that means you buy it and get to play it all you want, or that you just download it and play without need to pay a thing isn't exactly clear though...I'm hoping for the latter.

If they're listing it as Free to Play, that would mean the latter. To make money from it, though, they'll probably add unnecessary things in the game to make playing easier or faster, like energy increases and packs in Spiral Knights or weapons that you can only buy with real money.

I don't think gaming even had a golden era. There has been so much great stuff in each generation. I feel like the past was better than the present, but if I look back at the present when it becomes the past, I'm sure I'll be nostalgic too. Unless you're talking about console gaming, in which case I think this is pretty far from the golden age.

And I hope PSO2 has the same payment method as WoW's extra stuff: You can spend money on more stuff, but it is cosmetic only.

Eh, I probably just feel that way because those were the games of my childhood. Still, it seemed like more of the games that were made back then were actually well made and fun to play, as opposed to what has been happening lately with seven out of every ten games have either major design flaws or just not being any fun. But then...I might just be pickier now than I used to be.

And yeah, I'm very much in agreement about PSO2, if they do have 'Paid content' I'm hoping it is at most cosmetic. It's a very viable option for them too, especially with the Mags being present and floating over your shoulder again. Sega could easily make a killing off of selling special skins for those alone. More than that though, I'm hoping they don't go off and use an energy system like SK, much as I'm looking forward to playing PSO2, that would completely kill the game for me.

Paying gives you the rooms like in PSU. And frankly rooms are freaking boss so I'll pay for that.

How did those work?

Basically like a small house. You could decorate it, invite friends in, your little robot was there, but most importantly you could set it up as a store. Personally I love having houses and stuff in MMOs especially if I am going to be social.

Well that's cute!

It's not confirmed yet, be me and my cousin are going to enter the New York Tristate Street Fighter 25th anniversary tournament.
We'll be entering SF4 and possibly others.

I'll be going by C.Chambers and my cousin will be Jumping Fountain or JF.

I'm usually not one to listen to dubstep unless it's used very scarcely, but I actually quite enjoyed that.

Oh. Uh. Dubstep? Who said anything about dubstep? I sure didn't. No sirrie; not me.

So guys, I want to know what you think, what is better? First person or third person perspectives in action games? I prefer third person games, I just like the perspective more.

I prefer third-person.Furries freaking eat that crap up, man. It would get more people to click it if you advertised it as such.

Well, my answer might change depending on exactly what you mean by action games, but over all I'd have to say I'm kinda indifferent.

So long as a game plays well and I'm enjoying it, I can't say that perspective sways me one way or the other, and in those few games I've played that give you an option of perspectives I typically just stick with whatever the default is.



I must be a weird furry then, 'cause I don't really care for most dubstep. That said, I did enjoy the above track for the most part.

I don't think being a furry has anything to do with that, like, at all.

So I just got off S4 League. I've been using the Max Anarchy soundtrack while I play.

Ooh... I hope they have a massive bundle sale so I can actually play HL1 and HL2 lol

Don't fully trust it yet, Gabe is Random.

Dude, buy all of those games. NOW. At the very least, Half Life 1 for history and the fact it is AMAZING. Plus, there are free mods on Steam.

Is it on massive sale right now?
I'm a loser with no friends... I need to make a proper steam account.

there was a summer sale about two weeks ago,now it's over. you could wait for coming winter sale.

Well I don't know about the rest of you but I'm hype

I finally got a microphone for Xbox live. If any of you guys want to chat some time just send me a pm. I'm on most days of the week.

Picked up alot of good games during my vacation:

BattleField 3 (PS3)
Twilight Princess for $19.99!
Pokemon Conquest!
Dragon Warrior VI and IX
Harvey Birdman!

Having a ball with Pokemon Conquest at the moment. The opportunity to tag-team with Shingen's Rock Pokemon is extremely satisfying. I would honestly expect him to have a super powered rapidash, considering how he's always representing the cavalry clan.

I dunno how I feel about Pokémon Conquest. I feel like customizing my team isn't particularly robust; each character is generally very simple and there isn't much to change. Maybe I'm just not far enough yet?

Usual standard weaknesses make a huge impact in this game, but unevolved pokemon generally get ability happy while their evolved forms usually aren't, except for Charizard. three ways for him to boost his attack power up and he just gets crazy on the opposing army @_@

and i can't help but not use Eevee and Jigglypuff. even when fighting armies with fighter and flying pokemon.
