Video Game Nerds, need your recommendation

[TheMan]

I'll have to check that out.

That'd be good, I too get annoyed at the kidlets. This is much friendlier, must be because we can drink...

Yeah, the booze calms our nerves lol...we also have just come to realize that snarky comments to others via a forum are pointless.

I heartily recommend Warhammer 40K: Space Marine.

Even if you're not into the whole WH40K mythos, it's still a great game. And you'll soon find yourself giggling like a schoolgirl as you send your power-armored super-strong Space Marine into a horde or orkz with a chainsaw broadsword hacking away, then spinning around to eviscerate someone, throw them over your shoulder, smash their head into a blood oblivion, and get your health restored for doing it.

Hours of fun!

As a fan of 40k I bought this right away. The game is fun. The end however sucked.

The ending was perfectly grimdark, IMO. I would've liked a longer boss fight at the end, but I thought the story ending fit perfectly.

Spoiler alert!!!





No space marine chapter would let the inquisition cart off a captain, or any other brother. They'd either kill him outright or send him to the librarium to be examined for taint.

That would make a good dlc though. Librarian sent to retrieve the captain from a rouge inquisitor.

MOAR SPOILERS!!!!



















Remember, there was only Titus and Leandros left at the end, not any of the other Ultrasmurfs. And Leandros was convinced Titus was tainted by Chaos. Add in the Inquisitor's threat to haul off the Guardsmen as well and Titus didn't have much choice but to go.

Either way, we're missing the point: THIS GAME IS HOLY **** AWESOME GO BUY IT NOW FOR THE EMPRAH

Anytime someone is asking for game suggestions, the first that comes to mind is Super Meat Boy. I bought on XBLA last year on a whim, and it is loads of fun... Old school platforming and a retro vibe, with very nuanced player control and an increasingly maddening level of difficulty. It's also pretty funny. ~$14 on Steam or XBLA

True enough. And yes, awesome game. Done the multiplayer yet?

 

[paradoxic]

Damn, I so want this game to come over here, I want to hook up my 52 AVRI Telecaster to it.

There is a fight with a European band called Rocksmith, so hopefully they pay them off and get the game released here ASAP.

Nice guitar

Maybe you can use one of those services that delivers to a US address then ships overseas?

 

[viking73]

I was in Target this weekend and saw Rocksmith on the shelf.

A little bit, yeah. The few times I've done MP it's been a constant lagfest, though.

 

[joeybeer]

CoD MW3 .. probably the coolest game I've ever played. Just when it starts to get boring, it's time to man a mortar, race a boat or fly a drone !

Are PS3 games still region coded? Or NTSC?

<EDIT> I googled, it'll play on HDMI as there is no region coding on the games and NTSC is only an issue using the RGB cables and not using HDMI.

 

[TheMan]

So I didn't even end up buying a game for the week lol...I did however take advantage of some black friday deals and nabbed 2 for 1 at gamestop. 2 games thanks to your recommendations, Fable 2 and Bioshock. Then for more fun got Viking.

Played Fable 2 all weekend and it's a blast.

Possible Spoilers...

Made myself the most evil, fattest, least considerate man on the planet. Married the most hideous woman I could find. Knocked her up, ignored my child then found a local hottie and set up our love shack in the house next door. Then I decided that my reputation shouldn't suffer from that troll of a wife I had, so I ended her life...Then child protective services took my baby, didn't see that one coming. Then I kicked some chickens.

The game is a riot. lol

I'm not sure I only have an xbox and haven't had to deal with any of the region coding stuff.

I got Rocksmith from the USA, it works fine on my EU PS3, the only thing is that nothing loads in the shop as it is not coming from a US IP address.
The game is very good, I only played it for a few hours yesterday as I was waiting to collect it from my brother who got it for me for Xmas Kristkindl.

So far it's very good.

Skyrim

 

[bottlebomber]

Something that lasts maybe 8-12 hours is probably doable for me.

Any of those any good? Quick?

Skyrim

Are you being serious?

It's funny, I purchased the Wii back when they were impossible to get and everyone was snatching them up. The novelty wore off REALLY quickly!

Wii has become my netflix console.
