Unfortunately I was playing a soldier (have been since ME1), but what's surprising was that he was the only challenge I faced on Insanity so far.Nicolairigel said:

Modern Warfare 2
A buddy of mine persuaded me to play the multiplayer again recently and good god is it a clusterfuck of a game.Overpowered killstreaks that count towards your next killstreak,ridiculous amounts of killstreaks on screen at the same time,shiity spawn system that spawns you into the path of a killstreak so you die instantly,noob tubers everywhere,stupid perk combos,quickscoping,being knifed from 10 feet away.....After about 30 mins playing it I remembered why I'd stopped playing the fucking thing in the first place

Yeah, where's the "Shoot Makarov in the back of the head before we walk in 'cause we know he's going to kill a ton of people" option? O wait, then they'd have to use another character for the main story, and that would be bad... somehow.Tom Milner said:modern warfare 2, the whole "no russian" guff offended me very literally, when playing it at a friends, i can put my actions in a simple list:

I would say "it's contrived" - http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/jump/9.374490.14528445. This is equivalent to the idiot decisionmaking in bad B movies, only they're forcing you as the player to behave like the fool.Woodsey said:'which are supposed to be fun.'Tom Milner said:because civilians are being massacred, in a game, no less. which are supposed to be fun. you are expected to join makarov and his pals in tearing up an airport, and then killing a ton of police. and to what end!? there is no need AT ALL for this to exist!Woodsey said:Indeed, someone drinking WKD is ludicrously offensi- ...Oh.

In terms of Pokemon B&W, yes the new roster was definitely disheartening. A Pokemon game in which you don't want to play again because of the Pokemon you encounter is a definite failure for the game series.RedBird said:
For The Force Unleashed 2, it sure was surprisingly short. I'm guessing most of the "development" put into the game was to create numerous inventive ways to kill Storm Troopers and TIE fighters.
Yes Dead or Alive is much more noob friendly and I would assume Dead or Alive 5 will retain this there are only 4 buttons one throws one blocks + counters (depends how you use it but its easy to understand) and two buttons attack one punches one kicks if I remember correctly.verdant monkai said:*snip*
Do you think dead or alive would be more noob friendly? I like the look of that game especially the most recent. Oh and by the way thankyou for the information, you have been really helpful.
Its not as in-depth as some other fighters but very easy to get into and can be a lot of fun as there is quite a lot of spectacle to the matches and it is deep enough to allow you to improve at it.
Im also looking forward to DOA5 I think its about time they brought the series back after a much needed rest.
Avoid the knight and go up the ramparts kill everyone there. Once that's done get to a spot where the knight has a hard time hitting you and use a ranged attack either a bow or magic to chip his health away, you don't even has to invest in leveling just as long as you meet the min requirements and bow can kill it provided you have enough arrows. He is perhaps the easiest boss in the game next to phalanx.EvilMaggot said:Everyone said Darksouls is awesome... so i reckoned.. hmm should try Demon's Souls first... got to the black knight with the insanely long polearm.. killed me 5 times.. havent played it since thats 1½ month ago.. it pissed me off soooo much
And anyone who says Dark Souls is hard it basically boils down to repetition, run the same area a few times and you'll soon break the difficulty over your knee. After Anor Londo you've basically won.
conkers bad fur day with the FUCKING FINAL BIT with the (spoiler) matrix section when they would FUCKING murder you OVER AND OVER AND OVER, seriously fuck that game
You play as an American CIA agent. A well-placed one. What makes you think a US agent would risk his cover, his mission and commit certain suidice to save a buttload of Russians?w00tage said:Yeah, where's the "Shoot Makarov in the back of the head before we walk in 'cause we know he's going to kill a ton of people" option?

Well, I'd have less of a problem with it if the game didn't ask me to be outraged when the Russians do the exact same thing in America.
"If it wasn't a big deal with civilians being massacred back there, why is it now, game?"
Of course, that whole flippin' story is so surreal either way, so it hardly matters... After defending Burger King from the Red Menace, I sort of blacked out a bit, I vaguely remember the White House being involved somehow. Context got thrown under the bus long before the first protagonist was, that's for sure.
So far only Too Human is the only game that makes me legitimately angry, I mean the first hour or so is actually pretty nice, it has an interesting control scheme and I like the idea of Cybernetic Viking Gods. But than all the horribleness starts creeping into your attention, the atrocious healing system (you can't store healing items, they only drop in significant numbers when you don't barely need them, and the only class that can heal itself heals at a rate that would make glacial shifts look hypersonic) and the associated death sequence, the embarrassingly useless ranged weapons, the teeth scrapping slow movement speed and a plot that is too thinly spread to offer even an ounce of engagement. It makes me really angry mostly because that first bit works so nicely that it feels like some filthy lie once you get further into it!
