Currently playing 4: Guns of the Patriots

[Tankred]

Which game is this?

Chivalry: Medieval Warfare.

[NemZ]

Thinking about moving on to Chrono Cross

I wouldn't recommend that.

[The Eva Monkey]

I wouldn't recommend that.

Now why would you say that? I remember it being pretty good when I played through some of it back when it came out, and I've heard nothing but positive things. A bunch of people have told me that I should play Cross now that I've completed Trigger.

[NemZ]

I say that because it's a decidedly inferior game with a tedious combat/magic system that almost entirely ditches the combo tech system and meaningful battlefield positioning, a huge cast of undeveloped nobodies that don't matter in the slightest, and a poorly structured narrative that takes a big off-camera shit on everything you accomplished in Trigger:

SPOILER: Show

everyone's dead, guardia kingdom has fallen, the masamune became corrupted and lavos wasn't actually finished off for good.

Aesthetically it's pretty good, though it doesn't have the same charm as Toriyama's work and the battle theme song is an exceptionally grating tune, to the point where it quickly begins to feel like you're being punished for getting into a fight... and since the game doesn't give out XP for random battles you generally don't want to do so if you can help it.

Then again you liked FF8 and I thought it was shit, so you might well like Cross. I might have been fine with just calling it an ambitious failure if it was a stand-alone game, but because of the tie-in this killed any hope for a proper sequel to Trigger.

Got FF:T WOTL on iOS to commemorate my future iOS slave race life

I'm so jealous of you.

[Justacrazyguy]

Finished Resistance: Fall of Man on hard because of nostalgia. My memory did not fail me, it´s a good game and it is hard as hell.

[Singularity84]

Replaying the original Half-Life considering one of my friends just bought it and Half-Life 2.
Also trying to actually beat Majora's Mask. I've never done a complete play-through before. Named Link: Dipshit, hilarity ensues.

[Shinoyami65]

Half-Life.

If you enjoyed the original Half-Life, you should try Black Mesa. It's basically a Half-Life 2 mod that faithfully recreates the original Half-Life, except with much better graphics (quite a few steps above Half-Life 2's graphics), the inclusion of the Source Engine and with some alterations to level design. The arsenal, enemies, events and gameplay are mostly unchanged (crouch-jump is still required, for example). Almost all of the original Half-Life levels have been recreated in the mod, although the developers are still working on recreating the Xen levels. Overall I found it very enjoyable to play, and you should definitely try it out if you want to try playing Half-Life with Half-Life 2 era graphics. Also, it's completely free.

[nervshatter]

GTA 5 is pretty damn good. Trevor is by far the best character and pretty insane for a Canadian.

[Fazmotron]

I bought a new Gameboy.

[Monk Ed]

What kind?

I have, it was quite good. The only thing putting me off is the marines being too accurate on the Hard difficulty. I actually rage quit at the end of Questionable Ethics.
I think I'll try that part again now, wish me luck!

[Fazmotron]

What kind?

3DS XL

I got Kingdom Hearts 3D Dream Drop Distance, Rayman Origins (came with the gameboy) and Adventure Time: Hey Ice King! Why'd You Steal Our Garbage?!!.

Bought it for the new Pokemans that comes out next month.

Good luck!

Now that you mention it, that part of the game really bugged me as well. There's probably a pro way to complete it that involves minimal damage and minimal ammo loss, but I managed to bull through it at the cost of most of my crossbow ammo, 75% of my health and I think I emptied my MP5 and Magnum as well. It's not an ideal solution if you want to conserve health and ammo (which you will need the very instant you leave the building), but alternate between the Crossbow/Magnum and the MP5 and don't be afraid to toss a grenade or two out there if you have to. The soldiers all carry MP5 or SPAS-12 ammo so use it without discretion. There is some ammo hidden behind a few crates if you need some. If you're really desperate, you could try unleashing the Tau Cannon, but I don't think you should waste the Tau's ammo this early on. It helps if you didn't completely use up the charger in the corner of the room, as well.

Played 20+ GTA V and 40+ will be broken within 4 days. Jeiiiii. :33

Those who have played the game over 10+ hours, what did you think of THAT part:

SPOILER: Show

The part where you have to torture some dude as Trevor. I heard there was some controversy about this.

Personally, i didn't find it that bad.

[SimplyMason0]

^

SPOILER: Show

I didn't find it so bad. MGSV is going to be far more brutal as its played for drama. However I feel the writers wanted you to both love and hate Trevor giving him redeeming qualities while showing the bad side to him. Like Johnny

I am almost finished with GTAV. I seem to be in the last arc. After that I'm going to use some cheat codes and play it again being crazier. I'm also having a open world crime buzz so I might miss on Pokemon XY. I wasn't that hyped for it anyways.

I think I might play:
Red Dead Redemption(and beat it this time)
Deus Ex Human Revolution
Far Cry 3
Maybe a Yakuza game. Is the series able to play out of order or do I have to start with 1? Not really sure what tone it has for its story.

SteamOS announced.

All hail Steam.
Steam is love.
Steam is family.
My life for Steam.
My death for Steam.

[Monk Ed]

An OS completely dedicated to gaming?! For free?! For PCs?!

A new PC master race is born...

(I don't actually know enough about operating systems to know how big of an impact it will be, but one thing I've always appreciated about consoles is the sheer consistency of their performance whereas I have never owned a PC that didn't hiccup unpredictably on occasion and I have always imagined that it's because of the unpredictability of what the OS is doing in the background so I imagine that an OS that's dedicated to gaming would eliminate that problem and produce a PC that runs more like a console.)

[CJD]

The big thing is that the OS isn't designed to be your main PC OS, and anyone who expects it to be is going to (likely) be disappointed. This is designed to be the OS on your hypothetical "Living Room PC," aka what you would replace or supplement a console with. Essentially it's what the Steambox would have in place of the OS that Xbox's and Playstations have (people don't really think about it but all consoles have an OS, they have to to run).

Honestly, though, as excited as I am about that, I'm just as, if not more, excited about the fact that movies, music, and TV are coming to Steam. Just think about old media on Steam sales. Jesus Christ, I might actually buy movies and music again!

Even more importantly, we're one step closer to this!

[Oz]

Finally completed The Walking Dead. On top of being one of the by far best written games I've ever played, the haunting soundtrack and merciless quick time events turn it into an unforgettable gaming experience. If I ever were to compose a top list of video games, I would include this one for sure.
