I will, but not immediately. I have enough of a stockpile to wait for it to drop to the $20-25 range.Are you picking up Crysis for the PC Cow? I just don't have the gaming time I used to, but I'm tempted.Halo clone.What's this Crysis 2 game? Am I going to be hating myself for spending the money on Homefront instead of this game?
No first hand experience, but thanks for the heads up on the deal.
You gettin' this? I'm sold.
Its fun but no DAO. Waaaay simplified for the masses. Since there are only three characters classes, its really lacking in depth. Its become far more of an action hack & slash than a RPG. Not very challenging either. I've been playing on normal for about 15 hours and have yet to die.
My concern is that it's going to be an invisible sniper fest and the review seems to indicate that is the case. I may get it anyway but probably won't for awhile.You gettin' this? I'm sold.
That is a bit concerning. I'd be more worried though it if was all grenade, grenade, jump, jump, melee.Noticed you played a bit of homefront while I was playing with madshot last night - what you think of it?My concern is that it's going to be an invisible sniper fest and the review seems to indicate that is the case.

Yeah, true. I'm also worried that it will be too much like Halo with the jumping.I posted my admittedly limited thoughts in the Homefront thread. That thread is pretty dead so I understand why you haven't seen it yet.I played a game and a half of Ground Control. I liked it. Graphics were better than I was expecting based on the YouTube vids that I watched but still sub-par compared to others. Not a problem for me though. They're good enough.I enjoyed it. My only complaint so far is the lack of Tactical Layout. I'm not going to go back to Default in Black Ops so it's something I'm just going to have to deal with going from game to game.Snipers are annoying though. I may have to make it my sole purpose to hunt snipers in this game.
I think I'm going to enjoy sniping!
After playing the main mission, isn't the DLC stuff kinda anti-climactic?
I nailed a hole in one at Doral in Tiger Woods 06 last night.
Bump up the difficulty beyond beginner there, sparky.
There's a difficulty menu? I just started playing the season long tour thing. Scored awful the first two tournaments and figured because I had to build up some talent.Bump up the difficulty beyond beginner there, sparky.
I don't know. Just needed to take my shot.There's a difficulty menu? I just started playing the season long tour thing. Scored awful the first two tournaments and figured because I had to build up some talent.Bump up the difficulty beyond beginner there, sparky.

Amazon.Free prime shipping that makes release day also free. Their game credits and the fact that they give a much better deal than gamestop on trade ins. I started with $70 in credit and have turned that into 4 new games with all their deals. 
I could work something out. Whatcha got?
skyrim is not going to be released until November 11th in case that makes a difference to you.
Oh I know. All but 1 of those would be preorders. Deus Ex 8/23, Portal April, Skyrim November, Diablo 3 12/31 (though I find it very hard to believe Blizzard will not rush to get this out before Christmas). I already have Gears of War 3 pre-ordered and paid for via Amazon.
I had no idea that Blizzard gave a release date for Diablo 3 yet. Any word on whether or not it will require subscription payments to play?
None, but I would doubt it. I think it will probably follow the D2 model vs the WoW model. But I could be 100% wrong, as well. I cannot think of any games that are not MMO's that do charge a monthly fee, however, hence, I really doubt it.
I enjoyed both the single player and the multiplayer. I got more hours out of multiplayer I think.
I don't really like the multiplayer. The single player story isn't as good as the first but the gameplay is top notch so far.
You will get there, however I wouldnt call yourself an outlaw. You are so good you cant even pick up any of the whores.So is the idea of a game like Red Dead Redemption to live the life of an outlaw? As in there are stretches while playing the game where not much is going to happen?Played for a while last night and it is an immersive game, but all I did was herd some cattle, shoot a kidnapping mexican, and gambled a bit. There weren't any major plot points revealed or participated in.
The story comes along pretty slowly in this game. Early on, you'll spend lots of time doing stuff like cattle herding and horse-breaking. It picks up as you go along.So is the idea of a game like Red Dead Redemption to live the life of an outlaw?

I do like it so far.Yes, there are a ton of "training" missions at the beginning that just get you exposed to the many things you can do. Very fun game though. Nothing quite like riding along minding your own business and a cougar jumps out of the trees and mauls your horse!"I'm a married man..."You will get there, however I wouldnt call yourself an outlaw.

The Minerva's Den DLC is worth a look when you are done. It's a whole separate single player campaign where you play as a different Big Daddy, Subject Delta. It's shorter than the main campaign but a lot of fun and has a good storyline and new plasmids and achievements.
Minerva's Den is a great DLC if you enjoy the campaigns of Bioshock 1 & 2. Steve Tasker also really liked it. It doesn't even feel like a DLC very much. Its a different story with different characters, but it feels right, unlike many DLCs.
What's your gamertag? I just picked this up yesterday and appear to be the only one on my friends list playing it. Would like to party up if you are up for it.
I may get it soon. I'm expecting a Best Buy gift card from the in-laws for my birthday and I'll probably use it on this.I'll probably be playing Homefront tonight. Last night didn't work out.
Feliz cumpleanos, senor badger!
Still a couple of weeks away but thanks.
We're having dinner with the in-laws while they're in town on Saturday night so maybe they'll give it to me early.

HitEm20I have Home Front as well and I suck equally as bad at that.
