My opinion is that the first 3 Resident Evil games were good. But from there it just kept on going far too long.

[Jediferret]

I hope you realize that once I get on the subject of Resident Evil, I turn into a complete nerd... especially if it has to do with anything Resident Evil 3.5 related. I followed that version of the game very closely. I was very upset they scrapped it for the current game.

Did you know that Devil May Cry was actually a scrapped version of Resident Evil 4? I want to say Haunting Ground was as well, but I'm not sure. That was a creepy game... lol

[denizen]

I dont mind horror games but my best experiences lay with Resident Evil 1, Silent Hill 2 & the almighty Parasite Eve 1&2.

[Jediferret]

I actually never finished Silent Hill 2. I had both SH2 and SH3, but my mom made me throw them out because she felt they were too satanic. My brother-in-law is a gamer, so he let me borrow his copy of SH3. I tried Homecoming and Downpour, but didn't really care for them. I did like Shattered Memories and Origins though. I played them on the PSP.

Ah, yes... Resident Evil 1. Who didn't love that game? The dialogue was so awful, it was awesome. XD

Dialogue was very bad indeed.

I didnt find Silent Hill 2 evil in anyway. But the ending made the game. Unexpected twist.

Didnt see it coming.

[MacGyverGod]

I'm now well into Resistance: Fall of Men. I just hope to finish it soon though.

[denizen]

I have never played Resistance but heard good things.

I actually had some time to play Aliens Colonial Marines and got quite far (Further than the first 5 minutes). I actually enjoyed it despite negative feedback from hard-core gamers.

[MacGyverGod]

I'm comparing Resistance with a nice B-movie and a great theme song. There are some frustrating parts but not that bad, although it seems to happen more nearing the end. The game itself is pretty good and nice play and I like the concept too.

Colonial Marines was alright but very short. It's only ten levels long and like I said, when things finally get going the game's over. Isolation sure made up for all that.

[Jediferret]

I have Colonial Marines, but I never finished it. I need to.

I've actually went back to Fallout New Vegas. They just had a sale on DLC's, so I got a few. I'm playing the Lonesome Road DLC... and holy hell, there are deathclaws everywhere... ;-; I have a high level, and I still get mauled by those things. I think this sums it up....

Holy Cow! That thing looks freaky. Kinda reminds me of those beasts from the first Ghostbusters.

A local online store here has both Metal Gear Solid - Ground Zeroes & Alien Isolation on sale. Thinking about getting both BUT I have also heard that Isolation is getting a Game of the Year release. So what do I do? Wait for that or settle for the original release? Hmmmm....

[Jediferret]

There's always a gamble when there's a re-release. The Game of the Year may end up being a good deal, especially if they have any DLC attached to it. It just depends on the price. I already have the game and the DLC, so I won't need the game of the year edition. I just read there may be a sequel! Sweeet...

I made a mistake once of walking into a cave in New Vegas, and there were five of those jerks at the entrance. Guess how long I lived...

[denizen]

About 2 seconds?

[MacGyverGod]

I finished Back To The Future The Game from Telltales. Old school fun.

Now I'm playing L.A. Noire. The controls needed some getting used to but I'm getting better. The interviews and interrogations are fun to do and you get to search houses, do chases, gunfights, fistfights, respond to incoming complains. It's all neatly done and it's set in my favorite era, the 1940's. But with this kind of game it's quite easy to lose track of time and before you know it, you lost hours but that's just the game. I had the same thing with Red Dead Redemption. Besides it's from Rockstar Games as well.

[denizen]

L.A. Noire is a great looking game Never played it though. Red Dead is okay. I must admit that it doesn't quite have the same appeal for me than it does for many others, but hey, we're all different that way.

[MacGyverGod]

Well Red Dead and L.A. Noire are alike and I assume GTA is the same. L.A. Noire is rather episodic. You have to solve several different cases and move up in the ranks of the police force. I started out as patrolman in uniform, than I made promotion after a succesful interrogation, than I became Traffic officer and right now I made promotion into homicide. Red Dead follows a red line througout the game and you get to do all sort of minigames in between, help peoples out. In L.A. Noire this means responding to incoming complaints through the radio in your car. You also have the same gps system as in Red Dead and bad guys are shown with the same red dots, so it's all pretty familiar.

If Mac is a console player I'm sure he would have Red Dead Redemption. It's a western game after all.

[denizen]

Well i visited my local second store today & bought Doom 3 for Xbox.

Never played 3 before so looking forward to it.

[Jediferret]

I enjoyed Red Dead Redemption. I sometimes fired it up just to run around on my horse. I even have a cabin in Tall Trees. Dang bears...

I've played a little bit of Doom 3, but that was a long time ago. I was actually playing a bunch of other games at the time, including Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater and Resident Evil 4.

Resident Evil 4 is still one of my favorite games. God that game was so good....

[denizen]

Managed to play Doom 3 and its cool. The edition i have came with all the added levels and Doom 1 & 2.

So needless to say became a little nostalgic.

[Jediferret]

My friends and I have been playing Rainbow 6: Vegas 2 together. It's an older-ish game, but it's fun to play. Though if you've been playing something like Call of Duty, Vegas 2 can be a difficult reminder to check your corners. =P

[denizen]

Never played any of those titles but have always wanted to get into them Not sure where to start though. Call of Duty and which one.

[MacGyverGod]

I kind of hit a low on L.A. Noire. I'm wrong with lots of questions during questioning, it's becoming sad. I'm actually playing really bad. Not that it matters though, the cases are solved. But when I finish one, I mostly get 'unbecoming' in the final conclusion. You got to pay attention and sometimes there is a lot of evidence to choose from. But in the last three cases it's becoming really bad. Not to mention all the damage I cause in the city of my bad driving. It makes me feel I would be a bad cop and I always wanted to be an LAPD cop flashing my badge saying: 'LAPD, ma'am/sir.'

It's only a game, right? Maybe I'll do a speedrun afterwards with all the right answers. Just to see the difference.

I still like the game very much though. Sometimes I kinda wished I live in the 40's.

[denizen]

I don't know about that. As appealing as the era may be, the 40's was filled with war, poverty and limited resources to medical skills. It was only in the 40's that antibiotics were introduced.

[MacGyverGod]

I think it has the same appeal to me as the Wild West has to others, perhaps. To us it's just stories and perhaps we tend to idealise it with movies like The Notebook. Yes there was a lot of war and poverty (when isn't there?), especially in Europe. I don't know exactly either why I'm so attracted to the 40's. The war for one thing. I really like to read and think about it how lucky we actually were or even still are. It could've ended very differently. I think peoples itself were also quite different than then they are now. Maybe also the fashions and the cars. Back than it was probably all very normal and now it may seem all very romantic if you look back to it, but that's like with everything I guess.

[denizen]

I absolutely get where you are coming from. The appeal of the past was better because life was simpler. People were more humane toward their fellow neighbours. Lack of technology provided more interaction between friends and kids.

When comparing the past with the present, the past appeals more. Especially with the knowledge that you knew the war would be over by 1945 and that Germany would fall. With that said in mind, yes.

[MacGyverGod]

In the meantime, I think I'm going to finish the game today, only one case left.

[Jediferret]

Five more days until Fallout 4 comes out... and then I'll say goodbye to my social life.

I haven't been on my Xbox as of late since Fallout comes out soon, and I don't want to burn myself out. In other news, this Saturday is N7 day, so my one friend and I will be playing Mass Effect 3 multiplayer this weekend.

I have been playing a free game on my smartphone called Robot Unicorn Attack 2. It's surprisingly addictive...

As far as being in the past? I wouldn't go any further back than the 80's. The 80's was my decade. Technology was new and exciting, and there was a bright hope for the future.

[denizen]

Ill be attempting more game time with Doom 3 & Aliens Colonial Marines so I can eventually finish them before moving onto other titles.

[MacGyverGod]

I'm almost through L.A. Noire. Just getting the collectibles now. A lot of real stuff can be found around the landmarks, like the 4th street bridge from Lethal Weapon. But also Mac's yellow pick up truck which I'm currently driving. And also the many rooftop chases and jumps reminds me of Off The Wall. What a great game. Maybe I can look for things from the show in the game, like certain locations or something. But I haven't seen seaside or anything like that. Further more great game.

[KiwiTek]

[denizen]

That looks great Kiwi! I can live off board games if I had others to play with.
