imho. only reason why I put Civ behind Assassin's is because it sucks up your life. Seriously. Dangerous game.

I think i hate you all for playing these new games...seriously -_-

:pac:

Colm! · 18-11-2011 06:39PM

to be honest, the new game I have is Skyrim (waiting for the Arkham City pc release), and I don't have money to spend on all the games I want $:\$

Robby91 · 18-11-2011 06:40PM

Saints Row 3, I command you to install faster! For I have the urge to beat people with NSFW objects while wearing ridiculous costumes

Just a slight change to suit me. :pac:
Saints Row is great craic, but I've never been able to finish them without cheating 'cos the shooting mechanic was pretty sh*te imho. Great "leave your brain at the door" game though.

Have never played any of the Civ games, but I saw them on Gamestop for 2e for Civ 3:Complete and a fiver for Civ 4, so I couldn't say no.

I can tell they're gonna be games I'll pour at least 150 hours into.

Now, just gotta get that list seen to before ME3 in March next year. :pac:

Saints Row 3 is awesome. Even the graphical glitches are awesome

I played Skyward Sword for a couple of hours. The controls work really, really well but I'll have to play more of it to give it any broader assessment. If there's one gripe I have it's that the start of the game is a little long but otherwise it's definitely one of the better games I've played in the last few years.

The controls really are so much fun! Even the simple addition of running is enjoyable, especially when you use it to clamber up walls ninja-style. I'm just worried about smashing my arm off of something in my living room, as I don't usually play the Wii in such a vigorous way.

I actually really enjoyed the opening section of the game, as the characters have the same sort of quirky charm that I loved about the townpeople in Wind Waker. Watching Groose and his minions' various shenanigans unfold was hilarious, and Link and Zelda's playful relationship with one another was really sweet. I'm 6 or 7 hours in now, and I love it! I stopped after completing this sidequest where Kukiel goes missing, and between the outcome of that and a particularly creepy boss battle earlier on, it's rapidly becoming one of my favourite Zeldas!

I went to bed at like, half 1 last night, stayed up till 4 playing final fantasy VI

Bloody brilliant. And Uncharted 3 is going from strength to strength.

seanbmc · 19-11-2011 03:20PM

Loving Skyrim, the only bad thing is that it's making me late for early morning lectures. :pac:

Fergus_ · 19-11-2011 06:08PM

Level 23 High Elf on Skyrim so far.

It's definitely better than Oblivion

Jackobyte · 19-11-2011 07:01PM

Have been playing Pokemon on an emulator and an hour and a half session ended with the program crashing without a save. Argh!

Colm! · 19-11-2011 08:43PM

Make your emulator auto-save your state if it doesn't already.

I'll have a look through the settings now.

Skyrim is my life right now!

Jay P · 21-11-2011 07:39PM

I borrowed a smashing trio of games from my friend over the weekend: Batman Arkham Asylum, Dead Space 2 and Dark Souls. So far, I've played Dark Souls a bit, and it is as I expected: extremely difficult. My friend, who is awesome at every game ever, said it was the hardest game he's ever played, so I guess I'll see how that one goes. And I played Dead Space 2 for about 4 hours today, and it is awesome! I really really like it. I've been wanting to play a good, scary game for ages.

Hopefully these will keep me going until I can afford Skyrim!

Colm! · 22-11-2011 07:11PM

Skyrim fans... more to follow?

RolandIRL · 23-11-2011 09:38PM

oh crap...goddamn you steam with your sales!! *shakes fist*

Jackobyte · 26-11-2011 12:34AM

So, I got Skyrim today... I've spend the last 5 and a half hours or so playing Skyrim, non-stop. My head hurts, I'm tired but damn, what a game!

wnolan1992 · 26-11-2011 04:52AM

I just finished Deus Ex: Human Revolution.....

AWESOME

Nuff said. :pac:

One drawback for me were the boss battles. Didn't like how you were forced, no matter how you had chosen to play the game up to then to go in an all out gun battle. Really took me out of the experience, since I was playing as a really stealthy-kill-no-one type guy. Meant I had to always make sure I had bullets and a gun in reserve taking up space in my inventory just for those little boss battles...

Other than that, a cracking game

Now.....to start another playthrough or get in a few hours of Fifa 12 before study week..... $:\$

cloud493 · 26-11-2011 11:26AM

I'mma gonna buy super Mario 3D land today. Sounds pretty sweetttttt.

Anyone playing Skyrim on PS3 getting really annoying lag?

Everyone on PS3, pretty much. Once you breach 25 hours, you definitely have it. As soon as the save reaches about 6mb in size, you will get serious bucketloads of lag.

Patches inbound, though, which is good news for all platforms.

Fergus_ · 27-11-2011 04:16AM

Ah nice, it was just getting unenjoyable

cloud493 · 27-11-2011 12:15PM

Does anyone know where I can get Zelda SKyward sword for cheapish on the high street?>

wnolan1992 · 03-12-2011 04:02PM

Just started Saints Row 3 last night, only done the first few missions. So far, not really impressed. It's fun, probably more fun than the last one so far, but there really hasn't been much improvements since SR2... the cars still handle like crap, the aiming is only slightly better and there has been little up-ressing in the graphics.

Won't get a chance to play it now for two weeks, but I doubt I'll be craving it. Just glad I chose to play that instead of Assassin's Creed so I won't be thinking about free running in my exams. :pac:
