Re: Current video game being played
My God....I'm only like 2 hours into it (some things came up yesterday that prevented me from playing)...I'm hooked. It's so good, and it's certainly not easy. You really need to know what your doing and have some strategy during fights. I learned that fairly quickly.AlexPKeaton wrote:AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH DRAGON AGE IS GOTY!!!!!!!!!!!! So awesome!!! It is basically Baldur's Gate 3. It looks beautiful on PC, but I hear that the 360 owners got a gimped looking version haha.

dragon age is more than worth it...it's made by bioware (who did the baldur's gate stuff).Letang Is The Truth wrote:how is borderlands? any good? also is dragon age worth the $$? i <3 baldurs gate so i am very intrigued by the comparison

Re: Current video game being played
Not that I know of...pretty sure it's just a straight forward, single-player RPG experience. Which is fine by me.Letang Is The Truth wrote:i guess i will have to check it out next pay day. hopefully i can get it cheap on amazon. multiplayer?jaysmiter wrote:dragon age is more than worth it...it's made by bioware (who did the baldur's gate stuff).Letang Is The Truth wrote:how is borderlands? any good? also is dragon age worth the $$? i <3 baldurs gate so i am very intrigued by the comparison

Re: Current video game being played
Borderlands is a game that it took me awhile to like. But as I played it became more and more fun. I suggest though if you have online to play with a friend. Thats how my gf's brother and I have been doing it and it makes the game harder and more enjoyable. While somethings annoy me, overall its a pretty good rpg fps all things considered.Letang Is The Truth wrote:how is borderlands? any good? also is dragon age worth the $$? i <3 baldurs gate so i am very intrigued by the comparison

Re: Current video game being played
On Dragon Age:
Got like four hours with it yesterday. A bit skeptical at first (felt like I was playing Neverwinter Nights again) but after like half an hour I was sucked into it. The game has already made me feel bad about a decision (altough it hasn't affected anything so far, sometimes there are some lose ends to the dialouge).
It's not very beautiful though. The landscapes, cave walls etc look like old graphics.
I very much like it, but I'm not super thrilled. It's not like with BG 1 & 2 or Oblivion when I knew right away I would enjoy spending those 200 hours playing =)
Oh, no multiplayer. They never intended to include that. Would be tricky with the dialouge and so I guess. Altough they had coop for BG.

Re: Current video game being played
Mine was top of the line 1 year ago. Gforce 4870, 4gb ddr2 ram and great cpu. Not a very demanding game actually. It's not like with Ultima 9 or Oblivion which not even the best computers at the time of release could play at alot more than 30 fps.Dickie Dunn wrote:What are your computer specs like? With the PC version scoring much higher than the 360 version, I'm debating which version to buy but I'm unsure if my computer could handle it.André wrote:I started two downloads of Dragon Age this morning. Hopefully one of them has finished when I get off work =)
Very much enjoyed this review from IGN UK: http://pc.ign.com/articles/104/1040976p1.html

Re: Current video game being played
I finally got back to playing Punchout for Wii after a long hiatus to beat Lego Star Wars 100%.
I was on Mr. Sandman as a contender. It took me about an hour to finally beat him. I kept restarting when things got dire (i know cheating) and lost once. I then finally beat him.
Now onto the title defense mode.

Nice...my wife just got Punchout from Gamefly and I played it for a while last night. I think I am just starting the third circuit, whatever that is. Man, it gets tough FAST.newarenanow wrote:I finally got back to playing Punchout for Wii after a long hiatus to beat Lego Star Wars 100%.

Re: Current video game being played
NHL 10. I like 09 better. I could actually dominate people in 09. Now I'll have the puck three times as long as the opponent and twice as many shots and lose. Terrible.
I also got the N64 out after the Bond conversation. I played Goldeneye a little bit. My fiance loves the old school Mario games so I might have to dig out the SNES and play Super Mario All Stars soon.

I'm not sure I quite understand the big deal about MW2...then again, I don't quite understand the big deal about any FPS to begin with...
