So, what're you playing?

[Phire]

Ugh you know they've flown the coop when you can dual wield shotguns in a 'military' shooter. I know CoD was never realistic but they have taken it to new extremes with this one...

[Azazel]

coop. Like a chicken coop - which is where the phrase comes from.

coupe is a type of car.

Also, WTF? This is the What are you Playing thread - I assume that's a CoD5/MW2 post?

[Phire]

Those are my impressions of a game I am currently playing 

[schpain]

uncharted2 - very fun so far, my roommate was watching for a while and was summed it up "are we watching a movie but like, playing it at parts?"

WoW - mostly with mates, we've got about 6 druids and counting (moonfire spam ftw)

borderlands - playing with friends can be bad, i have 3 level 13 characters and haven't gotten past sledge on any of them! 

bloodbowl about twice a week, and some random dota.

[Tebonas]

Torchlight and Borderlands.

The will for a Divinity 2 playthrough didn't survive my holiday, I think I'll get my loot quota up to par from not playing anything at all for a week until I return to that again! 

[Yegolev]

Torchlight, Borderlands and Last Remnant.  This has better be the final dungeon in LR; way too much bullshit going on.

[Brogarn]

Playing the Dragon Age Waiting Game. *twitches*

November 1, 2009     01:34:56 PM     Campbellsville KY US     Shipment has left seller facility and is in transit

As I said in the DA thread, it's shipping USPS, so I don't expect it until late next week. Since I'm digging Borderlands, not a big deal.

[Sky]

I thought it wasn't being released in Europe until 2012?

[jakonovski]

I thought it wasn't being released in Europe until 2012?

I believe that's technically in Asia. You bootlegger you!

[Sky]

Fuck, I wear a boot on BOTH legs! Well, technically the little bits on the end there. I call them my Signes.

[Brogarn]

I don't have shipping info from Amazon yet. Starting to go into panic mode. Might have to either download it tomorrow, or just head out to the nearest Game Stop or whatever and pick it up tomorrow night then return what Amazon sends me. Which means I'll lose out on preorder stuff, but oh well.

*twitches*

Heh. I take it back. Finally got the delivery notice:

November 2, 2009     12:18:32 PM     Sterling VA US     Shipment has left seller facility and is in transit

[jth]

Torchlight (PC), Shining the Holy Ark (Saturn). Borderlands is waiting with .ini files already configured, but I'll save it for next weekend when I have more time.

[ghost]

I've been trying to finish up FF VII on the PS3 since I really don't have time for anything that takes much thinking right now.  It is more enjoyable than I remember.  Also, I don't remember having finished it back in the day, but the further I go along the more familiar it seems.  Getting ready to hunt down the "huge materia"

[Yegolev]

Final Fantasy VII is both over-rated and under-rated.

[jakonovski]

This is totally sweet, the city library decided to start offering video games a while ago, and now I have Tomb Raider Underworld and Watchmen eps. 1 & 2 for the 360 in my grubby hands. Free gaems dewds!!11one

[Phire]

MW2 is now done (Disappointing SP) and I am full steam ahead on Dragon Age PC which is amazing so far. Only wish it had co-op...

[schild]

Only wish it had co-op...

Oh, shut the fuck up and see a shrink.

[jakonovski]

Oh, shut the fuck up and see a shrink.

Baldur's Gate had co-op.

[Rasix]

I tried BG co-op once and it stunk to high hell.  I can only see compulsive co-op players ever slogging their way through it.

Dragon Age is all I shall be playing for the foreseeable future.

[Phire]

Only wish it had co-op...

Oh, shut the fuck up and see a shrink.

Having played BG1/2, IWD1/2 and NWN co-op it can be a lot of fun with the right people.

Everything needs co-op. Co-op has made even the worst games incredibly fun to play.

[Yegolev]

Still playing the usual, but the wife is ready for something new since the Last Remnant End Dungeon Slog is boring.  We tried GTA Liberty City Stories (the PSP-to-PS2 port) for about five minutes before shelving it.  I apparently loaned out GTAIV, so we can't try out the DLC, but THAT'S OK because we started up a new San Andreas game.  God, just in the first thirty minutes I had more fun than during the whole first half of GTAIV.  I don't know what sort of imbecile juice they drank after San Andreas, but I hope they go back to Mad Dog 20/20 or something sensible like that.

Then I stayed up until 2am killing shit with Roland in Borderlands.  Switched my green sniper rifle with a shiny purple one that I bought from Fatty Roman and the difference is night-and-day, despite the similar accuracy percentage.  Stupid hidden stats.  I love/hate Borderlands so much... so much.

[Ard]

Borderlands, Torchlight, Aion, and Last Remnant.

I probably wouldn't be playing Aion still if my wife wasn't hooked by it.  Too many other games that are more interesting right now.

Finally made it through the six bases in Last Remnant, Yegolev.  Bases 3 and 5 can eat a dick.  Those bosses were made of pure undilluted bullshit.  I either got a black hole or gae bolg or cyclops in round one or two, or I lost due to all the non-boss mobs, and even if I got that lucky, I still lost 5 out of 7 tries across the two bosses.  Blurgh.

Hate to say it, but I breezed through five of them, the second one was the worst for me.  Funny how luck plays such a factor in the outcomes while usually leaving you room to recover.  The fact that I'm slogging through rares in the hopefully-final area might tell you something, too... maybe spend some time working out equipment upgrades before you get in there.  I'm not sure if I will have a teleporter at the end of this thing but if I do I'm going to leave and then read up on some equipment spoilers and see about getting some shield better than the Aqueous and maybe some sword that shoots meteors and greek gods out of the tip.  Because, fuck a swarm of homonculi.  Stupid Self Destruct.

[Yegolev]

Last night: GTA: San Andreas, Mana Khemia 2, Torchlight.

[Khaldun]

Dragon Age last night, stopped just long enough to set up a long crafting queue in Fallen Earth.

[Montague]

All Dragon Age, all the time. I still have Borderlands and Torchlight and Arkham Asylum to finish yet. I feel a lot like Burgess Meredith in that Twilight Zone episode.

[ghost]

Just got my Playstation version of FF VIII and (shudder) I'm excited

[WindupAtheist]

Oh, shut the fuck up and see a shrink.

Baldur's Gate had co-op.

Yeah but come on, nobody used that for actual co-op did they? That was just the "Okay so you want six custom characters" option.

[Azazel]

Haven't had much time this week:

Borderlands co-op - 360
Fallout 3 - PC

Tried Demons Souls for 10mins, wasn't impressed by the shitty/loose controls, shrugged and put it in the pile to get back to later when I have more time
Band Hero demo for 5 mins or less before losing interest and handing the mic to my wife as I walked out of the room. Same old shit, but the music is really shit.

[Prospero]

I'm doing a round or two of LoL and then DA to finish out the night. It's a shame LoL is so much fun. It's getting in the way of my other games.

[Yegolev]

Tried Demons Souls for 10mins, wasn't impressed by the shitty/loose controls,

[Azazel]

I'll get back to it when I have more time, but I found them sloppy, particularly the lock-on. Sorry the "sloppy" isn't in yet another blowjob to the greatest game of all time. After the fellatio this game has recieved here on f13 I expected it to be like an Epiphany with Jesus and all the angels the moment I powered it on. Perhaps my expectations were a little high. I wonder why? I might change my opinion, but it'll have to wait until I have some more time to put into it. aka after I finish other games-in-progress and/or get to my summer break.

If you had ACTUALLY READ THE FELLATIO, you wouldn't have gone in expecting anything like that. Do we need more tl;dr?

Here:
You suck at the beginning.
You suck at the middle.
You might be good at the game by the end of the first playthrough, but probably not.
It's not the game, it's you.
It may take you 20 hours to realize it's one of the best gaming experiences ever made, but it only takes about an hour to get to the nonstop fun that is Demon's Souls.

That's pretty much the jist of it.

Did I mention that you'd suck at it? Because you will. Don't knock the game for "sloppy controls," you just sound like a shallow jackass.
