other gamers here?

Yah Predator is the coolest of the 3 imo. I havnt seen the new AVP though, too many good games coming out this time of year!



Today I begin my quest to beat Oblivion. The only problem with that game is it's so big you kinda get lost and I don't feel like there is a general direction it pushes me in. I just started though so maybe that'll change.

godspeed sir. i played oblivion literally for about 2 years on and off. mostly on. i would have every achievement if not for the glitch that wont allow me to get my arena grand championship. if you intend to download the thieves den id recommend getting the grand championship first. :x it is pretty directionless for a bit, but once youve gotten well travelled it becomes pretty easy. its been a while since i played it but at one time i was more knowledgeable about the people and places of cyrodiil and than about those of the city i live in.

Okay, so i've been sick since thursday and took Friday off, therefore freeing up 3 consecutive days of Oblivion playing from morning till night. My wife was obviousely very upset about this. But what i'm upset about is the fact that I didn't realize you have to sleep to level up, so I played for 3 straight days without leveling up past level 2. I was like "what the hell is wrong with this game???!" I eventually slept several times in a row and leveled up like 9 levels at once lol

I get how the game works now and am really digging this game. I can't believe I let it sit on the shelf for 5 months before I really played it. It's like a larger version of fallout 3. Outstanding game.

I also played the AVP MP demo, I only played once and as the alien. I gotta say, I was veryy unimpressed. I know i'll catch heat for it, but it was not that fun imo. Maybe because I was the alien, who always sucks.

So i've been playing Oblivion the last week or so. I love it so much that I bought bioshock 2 today and only played 1 level before going back to Oblivion. I was just in the process of thinking how amazing and epic this game was, until I played the main quest. The game from front to back on the main quest takes maybe 2 hours. And then it's over. Then to top it off the reward is some crappy armor.


Oh well, time to download shiver isles and all the other DLC's I guess. Still probably in the top 3 games ive ever played though, despite it's amazingly short main storyline.


Edit: Anyone know what the best DLC is for Oblivion? I heard the fortress one and the wizard dlc are good but any opinions would be great.

[daruckis]

shivering isles, knights of the nine, and mehrunes razor are the best downloads. i also have the thieves den and evil sanctuary. theyre kinda cool. make a good base of ops for you. and yes the main quest isnt very long, but i played that game on and off for like 2 years before i ever brought marten a daedric artifact. theres still so much to do, daedric shrine quests, all the guilds, the arena, miscellaneous quests. go nuts man. go get umbra and goldbrand. 2 very awesome swords.

[sgreger1]

Yah i'm only level 11 and my weapons are only like 14 damage, I was like WHAAT???? I beat the game with this ? I hope the other missions are harder as up to this point it's all been way too easy. Like I discovered the arena and beat it back to back from pit dog all the way to grand champion without filling up my life once... And the armor I got from that was better than what I got for beating the game. I sold that emperors armor shit asap.

[daruckis]

yeah the emperors armor sucks. i use full glass with enchantments on everything. dude you cant deny how cool it was though to see mehrunes dagon and the dragon duke it out. maybe it was cooler to me having played morrowind and all that. but i highly recommend the thieves guild, i had a lot of fun with that, and the dark brotherhood. the mages guild quests are pretty cool too. the fighters guild i wasnt that into, but i had to have the achievement.

i just got grand theft auto chinatown wars today!!! im about to pop it in right now. ill return with a full report.

[sgreger1]

Downloaded all of the DLC for Oblivion, wont get to play it for another couple days though. I had GTA4 and it was amazing but it got stolen so i never followed up on the expansions. I bet Chinatown wars rocks though.

I just bought Bioshock 2 and it is an exact replica of the first one. Literally like an expansion pack. It's pretty cool but after playing olbivion I doubt many games are going to be able to measure up to my new standard.

I ordered the special edition, but haven't gotten it yet. My daughter wanted it for an Easter present so she could watch me play :^) I won't get to play it until Easter, but I'm looking forward to it. Bioshock was one of my all time favorite games. I really liked the art work in the game. Art deco is one of my favorite modern art/architectural styles.

chinatown wars is actually for the ds, its top down play like the old gta 1 and 2. 2 being my second favorite in the series after 4, i had to have it. its pretty sweet too, like its got the entire liberty city except the alderney borough, which is pretty big for a ds game, and its got many of the elements of gta4, plus ds specific minigames which are actually pretty cool (i hate minigames usually) and a drug buy/sell economics thing goin on just like drug wars, if youve ever played that. i dig it.

also, youve got post bethesda gaming disorder. after oblivion and fallout everything else seems so limited, right? haha

what do you get with the special edition? i kind of want to play bioshock 2, but i never finished the first one, but played enough of it that i dont really want to rent it again. i totally agree with you on the art, too. the whole look of the game was great. the moment you first see the big view of rapture, i was like holy shit, this is like my wildest dream.

[Veganpunk]

Bioshock 2 is awesome. The story isn't as good as the first, but the mutilplayer is really good. They do the whole CoD rank thing, the higher up you go the more guns/plasmids you get. Pretty cool. If you guys get it, let me know, I'm trying to get a group together to play this Friday night, maybe get some achievements.

Only worth it to hardcore fans I'm sure, but I place myself in that category :^)

no dude, that is totally awesome! the vinyl lp alone seals the deal, but the posters are a total bonus. art book im meh about, just because everything comes with an art book these days. i got the fallout 3 special edish and it came with a bobblehead and lunchbox, totally worth it, hahaha. the bobblehead is basically my avatar on the dashboard of my car, every now and then i remember its there while im driving and laugh for a while about it.

[sgreger1]

Lol yah I have post Bethesda gaming syndrome for sure. I sit around waiting for new DLC like my next crack hit just so I can play more of the same game.

Bioshock is literally the exact same as the first one with almost no exception, but that's not a bad thing because the first one rocked. We need to start getting a videogame swap going on in here and a SNUS clan at the minimum. I been rocking my MW2 account with the [SNUS] clan ID.

[daruckis]

i should be getting my shipping label any day now to send my xbox in to microsoft. so in like 3 weeks or so i should be back at it. then i will gladly join snus clan and rampage with you. i think im going to buy a new xbox so i dont have to wait, and sell my oldy to my bro.

[lxskllr]

I don't game so much anymore, and I'm PC only, but I'd join a snus clan for non Unreal games.
