What Are You Playing? (Fall 2010)

[Diff-chan]

A couple years ago I played through MGS1-3 before #4 (and I never beat #4, oops).

I really liked MGS2, far more than I thought I would. I didn't find the controls unintuitive at all. MGS3 was totally unplayable with the overhead camera, though.

The characters in MGS talk in rivers.

True. Rivers of diarrhea.

Subsistence improved the camera enough to make the game awesome, though.

Rivers of diarrhea.

This is what Weezer needs to change their name to.

Lost Planet 2

Picked it up last weekend and have been playing it non-stop. Beat it last night and still not bored.

I'm going to be playing Civilization 5 and Fable 3 soon. Has anybody picked up Fable 3?

[Compass]

Why would they. Terrible franchise.

[Diff-chan]

Compass is right. There's no good reason for that series to exist. It's all hype and bullshit.

I liked the original Fable, I think. I remember TNL losing it's shit over that game and to this day remember someone saying it was "so fresh".

Then I played the second one and just could not get into it. This third one does nothing for me.

Fable was super generic and boring. Never played too far into it and never even looked at the sequels. Not for me I guess.

Just finished up the main story in Other BM and there's an epilogue? My suffering will never end. The Metal Gear story and cutscenes were probably the highlights of the game for me. Bland, boring environments boasting the very best texture work that a PSP could handle. Boring combat. At least it's like 5 hours long and I didn't have to pay for it. It's like a 2nd rate Shadow Complex.

I knew I had to finish it because I booted up Prime Trilogy for the briefest of seconds and knew I could never, ever go back to that trash if I started this up.

I liked Fable 2. The only thing that broke my enjoyment of it for me was being able to die with little to no punishment. I think I'm actually going to reply Fable 2 and, whenever I die, throw away all items and equipment that I have on my character - just to give it a little more of a roguelike flair. Sure, I know I shouldn't have to make my own enjoyment, but I like the core game enough to try and add my own spin to it.
