The "What Are You Playing Now?" Thread

[Grindel]

I finally got started in FO3. Yesterday morning I went into the national archives and teamed up with Sydney. She and I left there and hung out together and did a lot of other quests and things before we went back and found the Declaration of Independence.

When she parted company, I actually missed her, and felt lonely Now that's immersion. Now I'm thinking of dropping by Underworld every few hours but buying like one round of ammo so it won't seem like I'm stalking her.

I binged through Uncharted over the weekend, seeing as how the sequel will be out soon and I still haven't played it. I know people keep saying it is great, but I was expecting it to be "good". Well, it was in fact great. Fantastic even. I can't imagine how much better a sequel several years later with more PS3 dev experience is going to be.

The only part that I didn't like was the upriver rapids. It was just so floaty and blah to control. I kept trying to spot the point in the game most people seem to complain about (a cathedral or something?) but I never had a problem with anything but the final fight. It wasn't bad per se, but it was pretty annoying.


Next week marks my first new purchase in a couple of months, I'm picking up Metroid Prime Trilogy and Dissidia. Dissidia I've been waiting for for a pretty long time, and to my surprise I hear it is actually good. I wasn't expecting much more than amusing fanservice (I'm one of the few people who liked Advent Children), but apparently it's a worthwhile game in it's own right.

Metroid Prime on the other hand, is a series I have always be meaning to try, but never got around to. Bundling all three into one package seems like a pretty convienient green light for me.

Dude.

I did the same thing with it. I bought it at release and finally played it this summer. I wasnt ready for the awesomeness of it. Its probably now my favorite game on the 360 now.

I highly recommend Shadow Complex to anyone with XBL. It's a very well made tribute to Super Metroid.

I think I'm at the end of the game but I'm trying to get 100% completion first.

Is it 2D???

[Maledict]

Shadow Complex has it's own thread in the main OT forum:

Astonishingly, it's a gay marriage thread on graffes which is extremely civil on all sides and actually quite interesting. Art versus artist and all...

2.5D. You're on a 2D plane but the background is 3D and you will interact with guys who aren't on the same level as you.

I'll go check that thread out, I did read that Orscon Scott Card was involved.

[Mixelplix]

I'm playing shadow complex as well. Good game!

That's good, b/c I could never quite get into the 3D Meteroids. Super Meteroid is one of the best games ever made though.

They are rereleasing the prime trilogy with corruption controls, I'm looking forward to it because i couldn't stand the GC controller for it.

Mario and Luigi: Partners in Time.

Yeah, I’m a sucker for the Mario RPGs: their cuteness, humor and high production values. They’re just FUN.

The deluge is about to Begin: Batman Arkham Asylum, Beatles Rock Band, Brutal Legend, and Dragon Age Origins. What a finale to the year! I need time and money!!!!

I started Cursed Mountain on the Wii the other day. It's a (very linear, so far) survival horror/action adventure, a bit like a Resident Evil (or Silent Hill) light. The story is told almost exclusively through diary snippets and flashbacks.

The graphics are technically outdated, but a nice change from the usual comic and/or pastel look of Wii games. The atmosphere is suitably "creepy", with empty, foggy towns and mountains paths. As in Resident Evil, the (intentionally, I hope) restrictive controls add to the feeling of uneasy. Enemy encounter have so far (three chapters in) been limited to the occasional ghost popping up in scripted events.

It's by no means a "must have" title, but it's pleasantly different from the typical Wii fodder.

I liked the first one a lot more, but you are right about this. You know the third one is coming out next month right?
