Have you played Aliens: Colonial Marines already? I thought it looked cool, but it's been getting absolutely absymal critical reviews. I'd be interested to hear what your experience has been.

Hi aros, this is a nice thread about video game's. I need for it not to be involving with your trying too hard to be "Roll with the Punche's" notorious persona's.

I think I would find the Family Guy game to be fairly questionable.
And I say this as someone who likes Family Guy.

Do you find you can actually play the guitar on your own after playing Rocksmith?

Yeah, I just saw that video when you linked it elsewhere. Really pretty disappointed.

I am finally playing through Dead Space 2 right now and I am in love with how gruesome and unforgiving this game is. Outside of particular minigames (rocketing through open space, maneuvering through space station debris with their own momentum) I have only died twice, the cinematics for both were so creepy that I do whatever I can to not die again. Not many games inspire such fear of death.
I can't wait to play Dead Space 3.
Posted by Dr Strangelove (Member # 8331) on :
I notice you didn't include Mass Effect 3... .
I don't think there's another series that comes close to topping that one for me. KotOR (the first one) was a similarly enjoyable gaming experience.
I'm in the midst of Skyrim and Borderlands 2 at the moment, with a little bit of Bastion (I know, I'm late to the party) on the side.

Yes. I'd say the learning curve is much faster than a traditional teacher. Since it's adaptive, it throws stuff at you in a way that keeps you moving, keeps you challenged. You're not just repeating a single song over and over -- you're constantly adapting, trying to find notes, use techniques, and play new songs.
Most of my guitar friends are amazed by my progress.

I have become a newly-minted Fire Emblem fan with the release of Fire Emblem: Awakening. I have not been this hooked on a game since Minecraft.

Dead Space 2 is great. 2011 was an effortless year to be a gamer.

Kingdom of Loathing Realm of the Mad God and my most recent time killer--Jigidi--jigsaw puzzles.
All of them fit in my budget--being Free to Play. All of them gore free--though KoL is not quite "Family Friendly"
Posted by AchillesHeel (Member # 11736) on :
----WARNING----
Realm of the Mad God is addictive, partly due to the fact that there is no respawn. When you die, your character is just plain dead. You have to make and level a new one. Every. Single. Time.
It plays on your browser. I hope you have loads of free time to waste.

Wolfenstein 3d is excellent. X-Wing and Tie Fighter are both wonderful.

Started Chrono Cross. Great music and art, but man, early 3D models age like crap. (while early 2d sprites always look appealing to me).

I love Rocksmith. It makes learning fun, and changes it around. I haven't played very much, but when I have it is a blast.
And yes, it uses a real guitar, and teaches you to play it. Posted by Scott R (Member # 567) on :
I can't tell what's sarcasm and what is sincerity in this thread.

I'm playing Skyrim again for lack of things to do.
I recently played Ni No Kuni on the PS3. I drained about 80 hours into it. The game was remarkable and truly a masterpiece JRPG experience. I loved it.
Posted by umberhulk (Member # 11788) on :
It's good. I wouldn't say it's a masterpiece.

Blue Dragon had the makings of a masterpiece, but I would only say it was good.
The soundtrack was wonderful. Not quite Chrono Cross, but getting there.
Posted by BlackBlade (Member # 8376) on :
For those interested,
Blue Dragon OST. All of it.
Posted by Jeff C. (Member # 12496) on :
Can't say I ever played Blue Dragon. The art style reminded me way too much of Dragonball Z. How's the story in that game?
Posted by BlackBlade (Member # 8376) on :
The art style should remind you of Dragonball Z, it's the same artist. The story is pretty standard JRPG faire. The cinematics are beautifully rendered, the music is memorable, it's difficult, and it kept my attention well enough that I actually beat it. A feat many Final Fantasy games have been unable to accomplish.
Posted by BlackBlade (Member # 8376) on :
I don't know why Final Fantasy has gone so tame with its battle themes, but they need to find composers who make the painful torment of JRPG leveling just a little bit, dare I say, enjoyable?
edit: Cave is just fantastic setting music.
Posted by Lyrhawn (Member # 7039) on :
Kwea and Aros -
Does it get you to a level where you can play songs without the game in front of you?
Posted by umberhulk (Member # 11788) on :
I think a lot of modern game-composers still create a great synergy and relationship between the music and what I'm doing on screen; but less of them, in my opinion, are playlist-worthy. The modern Persona soundtracks are fantastic in game, but **** them in a playlist. I think some of the best music right now is coming from the indie scene actually, and from the general resurgence of puzzle games.

There, I picked out the good game on that list.

It gets you to whatever level you want. I honestly believe it could get you to the level where you could play in a band within a year, given enough dedication.

Well, I can say my formative environment for video game music was way awesomer

Just beat Metal Gear Rising. It's really fun to parry all the crazy stuff that enemies throw at you, and the four bosses at the end of the game are outstanding. The last boss of the game is a freaking douchebag.
It also leaves you in the dark about a lot of nuances. They aren't complicated at all, but you have to freestyle it a bit to realize that the other stuff that's there.
The free run is a little dumb. I hated the left-stick quick-time-event that you had to do when stunned. Some of the locations are too grey. There's fights you're supposed to lose (laaame). Still though, it's pretty fun.
Posted by Noemon (Member # 1115) on :
I've never played the Metal Gear Solid games, but I hear good things (and some bad).
Anyone have any recommendations for RPGs? I'm open to other genres as well, but right now I'm looking for something new and interesting that will keep me engaged for dozens of hours. I've drained about 100 hours into Skyrim so far, but the constant freezes are bugging me into disinterest.
Posted by T:man (Member # 11614) on :
Have you played the greatest RPG ever, Fallout: New Vegas?

I've only played about 4 hours of it and I know about half a song. The basics of it at least, and I find it interesting and fun to play. I'd say it gives you a good grasp of basics, but where you go from there is up to your level of dedication.
It makes practicing more fun, which should help a lot with kids learning, IMO.
Posted by umberhulk (Member # 11788) on :
If you have a DS I nominate Dragon Quest 9. It doesn't have much of a story though.
Posted by Jeff C. (Member # 12496) on :
I have indeed played New Vegas. I prefer Fallout 3, though.
DQ9 was on my list, but it didn't seem like it had much of a plot going on, so I was torn. I generally prefer a good story with my games. What's good about it, in your opinion?
Posted by umberhulk (Member # 11788) on :
Class based gameplay that encourages creativity through mixing the skillsets of the class. And once it opens up the game is dope. One thing I didn't like about DQ8 was that it would be deficient to ever branch out once you had chose a characters skill path.
Good turn based design, about limiting the ammount of attacks the enemies get at you, but with a fast battle-speed. They end quickly but they're long enough to feel like you've been through a tug of war.
Relatively easy. But still engaging.
I just wish it had decided to have no story, instead of a mediocre one that feels like a chore to have to mash through dialogue bubbles for. I wish it said "Go to the cave. Just roll with it."
Posted by Jeff C. (Member # 12496) on :
Ha, nice. Well maybe I'll pick it up. I also want to try out the new Fire Emblem game, which is supposedly awesome.
My favorite DQ game was VII on the PSX. That game had a great story as well as fun gameplay.

i'm going to add "Sim City 5" to my "good for playing" list because it is a very good game with no problems and the online component is fantastic and the sims definitely add to the game with their complex and enriching lives as agents in the game and they're definitely not shiftless hobos that work at a different place every day and just go home to the nearest house at night and their population is not fudged and traffic works great because sims definitely take routes based on more complex pathfinding systems than "which route is the absolute shortest" and the different city types are totally balanced and

Anyone played Endless Space? Looks really good, but I haven't bought it yet.
I like that kind of Master of Orion-type game. Galactic Civilizations 2 was so good.
Posted by Samprimary (Member # 8561) on :
I played endless space
it's essentially MOO3 lite, where everything devolves into each race being a ship hose, with the biggest ship hose winning (in a slow, grueling process)
add to that that the AI is much more patient and complete-minded than you are and will create a hojtrillion fleets to take each individual system from you and cut off your fleet hose (because you can't set rally points for ships, just build and fleet them individually from wherever they happen to be) and the end result is a MOO3 experience
