The Alternative Thread

[Rikkano]

I was going to turn this into a bacon related thread but then I realised that I'm in gaming discussion.

So um...OH YEAH!

Spoiler: remember this beautiful thing?

That game were basically my youth. I still have 2 disk copies lying about, one of them got played so much it got ruined so I bought it again.

I'd avoid it on the PC. The game's DRM makes it pretty... screwy.

Though your mileage may vary. Maybe you'll have better luck with it.

Anyway, I was disappointed with Soulcalibur 5. Instead of doing what the other games did, which was let you beat people then see a character's 1-2 minute ending cutscene which gave a bit of details about him/her (there was even an ending cutscene for custom characters. Wasn't too fancy, but I appreciated it), it got rid of that to focus on one new character and his story. Which while not necessarily a bad thing, the story was the same quality as the short, 1-2 minute cutscenes. So you had that, stretched over a few hours. Plus, the offline options were pretty bare, which is a shame.

Character creator is pretty cool though. Managed to make The Invisible Man. Though the only fighting style that suited him was Devil Jin, so now he can fly and shoot lasers out of his eyes. A suitable compromise, I think.

How come there'a no hype for Silent Hill Downpour? Nobody mentioned anything about it, but Jim Sterling made a great review of it somewhere.

Forget Silent Hill, we need to be talking about Blades of Time!

For those who don't know, which is probably everyone, Blades of Time is a reboot of X-Blade.

For some reason, it seems only Jim Sterling has been covering the game. Hell, Konami didn't even announce it until a few days AFTER it was released. Seriously, Jim Sterling was the only damn person covering Blades of Time.

Strangest part is that the game doesn't look half-bad.

And what's the deal with airline food, huh ?

First a big shout out to Binary Domain. Most underrated tps in a long time.
Second if you`re lucky with the matchmaking and get decent teams together Gotham city impostors is a great fun (even if i suck at it). I have high hopes for the upcomming free update.

Wasn't X-Blade that Russian pseudo Anime game where you run around in a thong that looks like white pubes?

Pretty much, yeah.

And they made a sequel? The hell?

Moving on. Sins of a Solar Empire is pretty damn awesome, and I've been playing around with a lot of the mods, like the Star Wars mod. I'm pretty excited for Rebellion, and I heard there is a beta coming out for it? How do I sign up for the beta?

From what I can tell, only way to get into the beta at this point is to pre-order, unfortunately.

Damn, oh well, back to Entrenchment.

Spoiler: remember this beautiful thing?

That game were basically my youth. I still have 2 disk copies lying about, one of them got played so much it got ruined so I bought it again.

SAME! I had to re-buy it because my first disk got so burnt out from being played so much.

Well is the game good enough to have any hype? Personally I'm wary of any game that claims to be Silent Hill but isn't Silent Hill 1~4

Awww dammit, I was gonna say that... *kicks a can*

I read that review, as well as several others, and I gathered that it's average, so not really.

So, favorite monsters in ascending order?

That thread saturation actually got me over my lazy hump and I finally finished the script that removes all keyword threads from my page, life is so much simpler afterwards.

Would you be willing to share this script? It'd be nice to be able to go to Gaming Discussion without wanting to throw something at the screen every 30 seconds.

I'm putting together a kickstarter fund right now, and for a symbolic donation of $49.99 you can have the alpha version and ten extra internets

I'll share once it's a more complete script, right now it is all hardcoded phrases and the specific pages, I need to make it more flexible so people can edit their own filters to work across the entire site, maybe even on other browsers.
But it is quite daunting when you go into the forums and it loads a blank page, had to add a blocked counter so I don't wonder if the script broke or the entire page actually is just about one game.

Street Fighter x Tekken! Anyone else playing it? Whadya think?

I think you bought an incomplete game. All the DLC characters are on the disc.

 

[krazykidd]

Street Fighter x Tekken! Anyone else playing it? Whadya think?

I was thinking of buying it . How is it? Is it more street fighter than tekken?

I'm on umvc3 and blazblue continuum shift extens . My first BB game ever . Currently siting down to learn it properly. So technical man . Maining as U-12 , fun game , nice art style , weird story.

Also battlefield 3 is on sale on origin ( i got an email don't actually have origin ) 50% off .

Speaking as someone who has vowed not to buy Mass Effect 3 until he has finished Mass Effect 2, and reciprocal towards ME2 and ME1, here's a really difficult boss battle.

 

[Offworlder_v1legacy]

HELL YEAH, I LOVE ALTERNATIVE!


Oh right..games.

Well I've been replaying Mass Effect 2 to get ready for 3, so I guess that's sorta different..in a way.

 

[Arakasi]

I really want to play Bioshock again.
That was a great game.
