Video Games

Got a few hours in yesterday and really enjoying it. This week in between jobs came at the right time.

gonna try and finish off batman arkham asylum, as I've got arkham city, sitting waiting to be played..

I enjoyed the first. The second just felt like more of the same, and I got a bit bored of the fights where you kind of seemed to bounce around people and just tap buttons.

I make games last, not paying all that money and blasting through it in a night. Waste of money.

Yeah, but Bioshock is 'his' game.

not as good as the first, but then thats because the first felt so new and exciting, the action sequences are better, and there are much less supernatural monsters at the end, which to my mind is a blessing, always felt like a cheap trick to introduce them when you'd been playing run and gun for most of the game.
Story is more interesting, but there's a bit too much backstory for my liking, I'd say its better than two, more straightforward, not quite as good as one..

Perfect!

I love a good back story though :)

I gotta play this more.

Didn't we get him into Bioshock?

Fuck sake Ed....

It's surprising how quickly you finish it if you don't listen to audio logs despite collecting them.

I hardly complete it as I don't know the full background to Columbia which is a shame, but at the same time it'll give me another reason to play again once they fix the bug for the audio logs and/or add a save function that you can actually click.

Decided to download the trial games on the Xbox after reading this topic, turn out to be more interesting than i expected, thought it's a silly games from looking at the case with a big fat cartoony robot on the cover.

alternative past, my favourite kind of story, demo seemed great, downloading full games as we speak.

...

Then completed it before me Mr Glover, why haven't you?

So Battlefield 4 information and trailer has been released, looks fantastic.

Looks fantastic, I agree. But then so did the preview gameplay for BF3 and the single player for that was mediocre at best.

Will be interesting to see what they come up with for multiplayer beside new maps.

Brun - I think it'll be good yet again. Although I'm tempted to buy this on the pc - Said that about 3 though and ended up xbox as I wanted to play with friends.

Day/Night cycles
Better graphics
more vehicles

Gonna start doing some late night gaming, so much more satisfying that daylight playing. At night it feels like I'm doing something vaguely illicit and exciting, whereas during the day I just feel guilty about not doing proper work, and losing five hours of my life to a game which keeps thwarting my best endeavours.

Just finished watching the 17 minutes of gameplay (at work)... looks well good.

Makes me wish I had an uber pc. Might have to start saving. The macbook pro just gets too hot.

Bioshock Infinite ending;

i forgot Bioshock was coming, i bought Saints Row 3, Heavy Rain and House of The Dead 4 this weekend passed.

It's really is infinite.

Ha ha, completely true.

Although falling asleep whilst playing really isn't a good look either.

PC gamers the Battlefield 4 demo was played on the best graphics card on the market

AMD Radeon HD7990 - I've just googled it out of interest and it retails at £700 quid!!!!!!!!

Realistically thinking about it if you spent that much on a card how long would you expect it to last?

Until at least the 2nd playthrough.

How much do you think a i5 2500k pc is worth? contemplating selling up.
