I wasn't a fan. I mean it's cool for a few minutes and I appreciate the complexity and cool factor, but the further you get the more and more tedious it got for me, eventually turning into work or a chore, rather then fun.
I just went there and I don't see that at all. The reviewers basically said it was the same old Madden. Which ever year the Madden haters say.I'll wait for the full game to come out before making any judgments on it.operation sports is in full melt down mode on how bad madden '11 is
jeebus. that's serious business. It is just a video game, right?operation sports is in full melt down mode on how bad madden '11 is
Yeah I just finished up my first playthrough of Origins. I doubt I'll have the patience for another go around. I'm just gonna move on to the Awakenings expansion pack.For anyone still planning to get into this game, my recommendation is to play all 6 of the origin stories before committing to which character you want to play the balance of the story with. I didn't do this and I played as a mage for the whole game. Then I went back and played the other 5 origin stories to get the achievements and I found atleast two of them to be much more compelling than the mage story. I still enjoyed my playthrough very much but I do wish I could have seen how the interactions would have unfolded with different characters.Once I'm done Awakenings though I'm kinda worried there's gonna be a dead spot for my gaming interests. Perhaps it's not fair to say it's a dead spot. It's simply a return to normal gaming levels after the last 12 months of epic releases. I don't believe I've ever encountered so many top shelf games in a 12 months period before. And in comparison the next 12 months is looking like a major dry spell.
I did the human rogue (noble) on the first play through and enjoyed the story quite a bit as well as the character, but thought that the combat got a bit old towards the end (I'm on console so don't flip much between the characters unless I specifically need something done). I'm playing through as a mage this time and I'm already enjoying the combat more.
What games have you played in the past year. There are some great games that aren't as main stream that you might not know about.
I sort of remember this part, but don't remember the solution. I do remember that whenever I got stuck in the game, it was not because I was not stacking things precisely, or doing something jusssssst right. Whenever I got stuck it was something super obvious.Madshot, how far have you gotten in Half-life 2?I think im stuck. I met with the Dr and the chick, they botched the transportation thingy when the nasty pet monster thing hopped on me. I ran through some sewers, found a guy who let me in the underground railroad, got passed the helicopter and now im in a industrial sewer area with a room filled with water, a ladder, and a bunch of drums I think I'm supposed to use to climb someplace. After climbing the wall I didn't find a way out, so I dumped all the drums into the water and tried using them to climb through a underwater passage, but I can't get them to stack properly to get me high enough. I tried for about 10 minutes and gave up.
I got stuck there to, I think there is another area in the dark passages that you can get through. Use your light and even if you think a hallway ends, walk to the end and then look right and left.Madshot, how far have you gotten in Half-life 2?I think im stuck.

Find a valve (hehe) that will fill the area with more water. The rise in water will get you high enough to get across.Madshot, how far have you gotten in Half-life 2?I think im stuck.

this is the right answer. it's on that big pipe, and is hard to find, but it's there.Find a valve (hehe) that will fill the area with more water.

The driving/boating segments were my least favorite parts as well.
They were, but I don't mind because they're usually segmented into moments you need to get off and battle. It's a nice change of pace. The only time I hated the driving sections was during Episode 2 when I was trying to take the gnome from the beginning to the end. Keeping that damn thing in the car was a #####. One bump and it was gone. I think I saved every few seconds during those parts as long as I confirmed I still had it with me. Luckily, the gnome isn't required and only for a stupid achievement and I'll never do it again.
From the above article. I hadn't before seen this Star Wars: Old Republic trailer. It's different from the one that went around a while back. Lucas need to hire these guys.

SentI'd love the starcraft 2 one as well pretty please.
Only good games that I know of not on this list from this past year are Final Fantasy 13 and Bayonetta.
I'll sell my copy of Bayonetta for $10.It's a great action game but really short.

Splinter Cell: Conviction
To me, it felt like SC: Conviction sold out and went for the casual fps crowd while ditching what made the original games great. Also, the 3rd person view felt really clunky while they tried to get by it by placing a auto kill marking system. Might as well throw a easy button in the game.

I missed that one off my played list. For some reason the achievement tracking site I use refuses to acknowledge that I've played it.I quite enjoyed it though. It was one of the more satisfying co-op games I've ever played. A well planned and executed 8 man take down could make you feel like gods.To me, it felt like SC: Conviction sold out and went for the casual fps crowd while ditching what made the original games great.

I haven't been a Final Fantasy player since the original 3 versions for Nintendo. I don't see myself getting back into the series at this point especially when the reviews of this latest one were so mixed.Now Bayonetta on the other hand is definitely one that I'll have to revisit. It didn't strike me as very appealing when it first came out but given the strong reviews I think I'll have to give it a chance if I can pick it up cheap.
