    For stuff that doesn't fit in the "games you purchased" or "games you started" threads whether it be your opinions on a game or what you're currently playing or games where you cbf making a thread just to say 1 thing about it :P

    I watched the Dead Island video review and I must say I'm terribly disappointed in it. From their first teaser (which I watched 10 times) I expected a zombie game but backed up by an excellent story and a new twist on the whole zombie perspective. Instead its just another hack & slash system, cliche characters with stupid dialogue and repetitive gameplay that's only fun if you're planning to do multiplayer. This makes it a BIG pass for me and the only game I'm looking forward to this year is Batman, making it a very dull end for 2011

    I watched half of that trailer then stopped it when I thought I they going for shock factor with the zombie child.  Looks like another style over substance game.

    The trailer isn't related to the game in any way other than "they hired some people to make a CGI trailer".

    I know it wasn't supposed to be in-game or anything like that but it did mislead people

    I'm playing through borderlands at the moment and love it - mindless fps action mixed with wow-like mission structure. I've already sunk over 20 hours into it. Result was, I got it for a fiver in a steam sale. Also got metro2033 which I haven't even touched cos of borderlands! Not long now for all the new releases though :-)

    Is that the first time you've played it tubs? Its an awesome game the first time around but on a 2nd runthrough, not so much as you notice the limitations & repetitive nature :P

    Yes it is - not something i was too fussed about on launch but when it turned up on steam I took a punt on it, glad I did. As I'm playing I have thought I couldn't come back to it - lots of grinding which I dont mind as it's my first play through. Borderlands 2 should be a laugh :-)

    Been meaning to check out metro2033 sometime!

    Been playing through RE: Director's Cut which was free on the PSN+ store (RRP $16, ripoff!)

    I'm getting much further than I did when the game first came out :P Was always too scared to play it so I let my brother play it instead

    I'm nearly up to the snake, just got to find the right key first for the door, there's so much back/forth going from the storeroom to the objective. Getting pretty sick of it, wish I could also save as many times as I want as there's so many cheap ways to die thanks to a lack of herbs. At least the DC has auto-aim!

    Bought NFS Hot Pursuit on Steam for $6. Won't let me login to the EA account though, just comes up with error messages everywhere, stupid thing!

    I originally had this game on PS3 but then sold it as it really wasn't worth the full pricetag & it lacked depth. At least it supports the 360 controller on the PC otherwise I wouldn't have bothered

    Despite my girly attitude towards scary games I'm tempted by Dead Island. I should hold off though, BF3 and TOR aren't that far off and I wont finish DI before then.

    I've given up on Bioshock. It froze/crashed and hadn't autosaved for about an hour and I realised I had no desire to redo the same bit again, which is a fair sign that I wasn't enjoying it.

    Could someone tell me what happens in the plot? Spoiler-tag if necessary.

  • backslashiobackslashio +1 -1
    I never finished Bioshock either. The PC version is riddled with game crashing bugs despite me trying it on 2 machines, even when I somehow managed to pass 1 bit it crashes again when I'm right near the end & corrupted my save files.

    TBH...I tried playing through it and found it to be a bit style over substance.  The environments and atmosphere are very good, but the gun play was a bit tiresome for me.

    Maybe I didn't give it enough time, but it just didn't grab me at all.

  • backslashiobackslashio +1 -1
    I liked it but when I thought the game was about to end it just kept on going which really annoyed me :P

    I just seemed to be going on endless fetch quests...
