Welcome to Our Forums. Once you've registered and logged in, you're primed to talk football, among other topics, with the sharpest and most experienced fantasy players on the internet.
I have moved on to hardcore mode. With a good squad playing conquest is great and it's nice I don't have to empty a clip to kill people. And if your a good shot...you are rewarded. No radar, no spotting...it is for the real men.Anyway I have given the game a rest. I am total football mode with NCAA, Madden and my rediscovery of NFL2K5 with loads of classic rosters!
Really, why? Alot of people swear by it. I have heard its unforgivibly hard.
Huge fan of Guild Wars.
It's not really hard - it's more that dying / trial and error is how you are supposed to play. Usually, the whole "you died - you have to start the whole level over... oh, and every enemy has respawned" would be a terrible design choice, but it works here. When you make it through a level, it's really satisfying - and actually, once you make it through any particular stretch, you realize it really wasn't that hard - you died more because you ran in unprepared or fought sloppily. It's hard to describe, really, but it's a lot of fun. And the sword/shield/bow/etc combat is easily the best I have ever played.
Yea, I did hate NES games. Actually, I can't say that - there were a few years I left videogames to concentrate on partying (so it would seem, anyway), and that's when NES came out - by the time I got back into it, it was Sega Genesis and then computers. So I kind of missed the boat on the whole Nintendo thing.

The melee combat system is excellent in this game, and when you get to the point where you can clear a particular level without dying once, it's extremely satisfying. The multiplayer is also great. I've built a couple of characters for the sole purpose of using them to invade other people's games, and that never seems to get old.
i haven't played my copy yet, but i'd heard it was pretty easy compared to the first game. i just hope it's creepy to play in the dark.DrJ said:
The "pattern" thing goes away once you really get combat down. Then it'll be less trial and error, and more tactical in nature.A few things that will make it easier:1) Start w/ the class that gets the Soul Arrow spell right away (I think it's a Royal). Makes the beginning a lot easier.2) Get the ring that gives you 50% more HP in soul form - I think it's in 1-1 or 1-2 (check a walkthrough). A big help - it makes playing in soul form very viable.3) Use your shield. In most RPG's, a shield is just for show, or the character automatically uses it, etc. Here, you really have to use it. But once you start getting into blocking attacks and then countering and seeing how it works, it gets really addictive. The combat is sweet.4) Unlike most RPG's, you can't just wade in. One at a time. 5) Spend your money / points.ETA - as far as level progression, there is no right or wrong way. Anything "open" to you is viable. It's fun to bounce around the different levels.Sundays Rule said:
I played a lot of the original GW, but never got into any of the expansions. Curious how this one works out and have been following it for a few years. Almost disappeared into vaporware a while ago.madshot31 said:Huge fan of Guild Wars.Buddy Ball 2K3 said:
Buy Arkham Asylum. Rent Alan Wake. Both worth playing.Maybe if you're a huge Stephen King, Twin Peaks fan and not so much a big Batman fan, you can switch those around. But that's just my opinion.Just got ME2 through amazon.Got a discount on the game, gun.Thinking of buying either alan wake or batman arkham asylum off of points2shop.any thoughts?either game worth playing?
Sort of, but it's a little awkward. You have to be in body form and your teammate needs to be in soul form. He drops a stone that says he's willing to be summoned into another person's game. If you and he are at approximately the same level, you'll see that stone in your game, and then you can summon him. This only works online; there's no offline or split-screen coop. And there's no mic supportAgain, this is the sort of thing that would be game-breaking in any other game, but it works really well in this one for some reason.
Actually both.I don't have gamefly, but I'm not losing anything by getting it free.Buy Arkham Asylum. Rent Alan Wake. Both worth playing.Maybe if you're a huge Stephen King, Twin Peaks fan and not so much a big Batman fan, you can switch those around. But that's just my opinion.Just got ME2 through amazon.
I played that a little bit. The framerate pretty much ruins the game, which sucks because it has/had a lot of potential. I really liked some of the spells and it has co-op. The co-op isn't the main storyline though, which is gay, imo.WVU Alum said:
Standard.
Maybe I'm just not patient enough... but I spent a solid hour or two doing not much else besides talking to people and trying to figure out WTF was going on. I know that everyone encouraged me to just stick with it, but I just don't have the patience.STEADYMOBBIN 22 said:Adebisi said:
I guess it was just the lack of action. I have neither the time nor the inclination to spend hours on end talking to people in video games. It just didn't progress past enough for me.
maybe you should pass on RPGS?
please give a review of DAGiven the lack of new maps with BFBC2, I am gonna focus a bit on ME, for a while I think. Then move on the ME2, Fallout 2 and then Dragon Age hopefully.
TIA
Just remember in ME1 that you can just focus on the story mission and it will be alright while reducing the time a bit and the stuff some people didn't like.Given the lack of new maps with BFBC2, I am gonna focus a bit on ME, for a while I think.

Well, there is not a ton on the horizon that I am anxious for, so I might as well kick back and enjoy the ride.Just remember in ME1 that you can just focus on the story mission and it will be alright while reducing the time a bit and the stuff some people didn't like.Given the lack of new maps with BFBC2, I am gonna focus a bit on ME, for a while I think.

Ultimate Alliance is fun if you have a co-op person you can play with.WVU Alum said:
Feeling the same way.

You already have one anyway, Worm.Ah. BTW, I still have an XBox 360. I just upgraded to one of the S-models from my old original 20GB console. The earlier post was just asking if anyone was interested in buying my older one. I editted it when I sold it. I guess I should've left the original text. But no need to worry, I'm still an XBoxer.
the game doesn't even barely begin when you get out of the vault. What you are doing now is nothing more than a very basic introduction.Feeling the same way.

I agree. I'd at least wait until you get to Rivet City. If you aren't into it by then, you should probably give up.the game doesn't even barely begin when you get out of the vault.

Judging Fallout 3 by your experience in the vault is like judging Disney World without leaving the hotel room.Giant Wooden Badger said:Feeling the same way.

Buy Alan Wake. I will trade you Arkham Asylum for it when you are done.(I am a huge Stephen King and Twin Peaks fan.)Buy Arkham Asylum. Rent Alan Wake.

I'm enjoying AC as well. I have heard AC2 is less tedious/repetitive, wondering if this is true. Overall good game so far. Also wondering if I should pick up AC2 some time.
AC2 is exponentially better than 1.
at this doosh that has not left me any feedback for a game that should net me 500 points on Goozex and he has had it in his hands for a week now. I sent him a message a few days ago and he has not responded.
