I've not got the money for it this week

It will have to wait until tuesday. Also I'm sure the difficulty will have been blown way out of proportion by the press just like with demon's souls.

I'm saving my non existant $$$ for Forza 4!

**CiDeRmAn** · 06-10-2011, 20:04

I was tempted to blow my wad on Deus Ex and El Shaddai, both discounted in HMV to around 30 each.

Deus Ex is going for 25 in Argos actually, not bad at all.

But hoping Dark Souls will be waiting in the morning

Almost bought El Shaddai myself earlier today when I saw it for that price. Had to put it down and back away slowly. Already too many games to be playing.

**johnny_ultimate** · 06-10-2011, 21:26

Yeah, I forced myself to believe El Shaddai will go down even further in price

I'm focusing on Disgaea 4, Dark Souls and Civilisation 5 for the moment, and they're all stupidly time consuming

Uncharted 3 will be a nice break. And DoDonPachi...

Arghh! $$$$$$$

Wanted to make a gears design, messing around tonight and came up with this. What doesn everyone think?

**Retr0gamer** · 07-10-2011, 00:11

I need somewhere to vent. I decided to play Killzone 2 today because I'm playing far too much time on Xenoblade.

Anyway it is far and away the blandest and worst FPS game I've played in a very long time. What the hell were people smoking when they gave it all those 9 and 10's in reviews! Absolutely nothing stands out and it adds nothing to the genre. It's just boring shooting, boring enemies with turret sections and a vehicle section thrown in straight from 1997. The AI is terrible for the enemies and NPC, I found loads of enemies stuck staring at walls. Also enemies take far too many shots to take down which ruins the fun. The boss battles were laughable as well and felt so dated.

Also the game was praised for it's graphics but there aren't great at all. The environments are browner than anything Id have made and the environments are tiny.

I thought this was the only FPS game I had that I hadn't beat so played it. I'm only just after realising that I got portal 2 today in the steam sale for 15. I'm a dope.

**johnny_ultimate** · 07-10-2011, 01:04

It's been said many times before, but Killzone is proof if ever any was needed that both gamers and the gaming press are a bunch of undemanding simpletons*

The simple solution is to stop playing. The more complex solution is to keep playing in the vain hope that it's an ironic, satirical gesture of some sort, even though it isn't.

*Apologies to any Killzone fans here, I'm just speaking in general terms

**atavan-halen** · 07-10-2011, 01:29

Won a pair of tickets to Battlefield 3 preview tomorrow if anyones interested?

batari · 07-10-2011, 09:19
