@emceeQ:

Considering it's Halloween, I've decided to bust out some horror and play through Amnesia The Dark Descent

Highly recommended for those that haven't played it.  One of the scariest games I've played…

This is awesome fun, wear headphones for maximum auto-pooping

Absolutely love that game.  Great choice!

What's everyone's thoughts on RE6 ?
Just started playing ….... And it's not resident evil , still undecided if I like it

I've played all the campaigns now and overall I'm disappointed with the direction Capcom has taken the series. There are some moments that I really enjoyed, but sadly it just felt like a grind, just something I felt I had to get through.

Even the story, the one part I was really looking forward to, felt disjointed. Probably because there are four separate campaigns. And I really dislike the fact that the files are only collected through finding the serpent emblems, rather than picking them up in-game.

Overall I feel that RE6 was a waste. It tried too much to please everyone and be everything, it didn't really accomplish anything.

Wesker was thrown away in RE5 and in RE6 it felt like every character was thrown away :(.

I don't know where Capcom will take RE in the future, but the tag they used for the RE6 marketing campaign was unfortunately prophetic, I really do have #nohopeleft

Jake's campaign was a quite good…

Sorry for the rant. The next post will be positive ;).

Currently playing:

Dishonoured. Great game so far. Taking it slow with a stealth approach for the first go through. Dunwall is fantastically realised, there is less freedom than the marketing campaign suggests. But there is nothing quite like choking a guard out, carrying his body to a dark corner, dropping his body foolishly through a window, panicking moments later as the body is discovered and teleporting away before you can be discovered.

Z.O.E HD collection: Just as much fun as I remember the first game to be. If I'm being honest, I bought this mainly for…

Metal Gear Rising: Reveangance (demo): I wasn't sure about this because Platinum Games has taken over the gameplay from Konami. Although I do love Platinum, I am crap at their games. I was concerned that being a faster paced game there would be no time, or need, or worse that the Kojima Productions style of storytelling would get in the way. Happily (or not, depending on your taste) there are still rambling cutscenes and the Codec messages are perfect :).

I am crap at it though, the demo ends with a boss fight, it took at least 20 attempts for me to defeat it. Still, plenty of time between now and Feb.

Playing through jakes campaign ( have not played others yet)
There is just no atmosphire the areas are realy bland , it feels like just another bad shooter
The only thing stopping me from quiting is i dont want to miss out on the story

I hope capcom give the RE fans something they want for RE7

Unfortunately the RE franchise died with  4

[Flash]

I dont know i thought 4 was great , not best but still good

[derivative666]

4 was great my favorite next to 2. I was saying the franchise died after they released 4

[unharmed]

Still working through Dishonored. My copy of Assassins' Creed III arrived today as well.

[xchen]

Unharmed I can't wait to get Dishonored. Trying to finish Borderlands 2 first though.

I'm a big fan of 1st person open world ARPGs lately. Looking forward to the Far Cry 3 immensely as well.

Anyone here dig indie games?

[unharmed]

^ Ha! Dishonored sat on my shelf for a week or so whilst I finished of Borderlands 2 as well

[xchen]

Also on the huge backlist:

Dishonored
Forza Horizon
ACIII
FC3
BioShock Infinite
Journey
Fez

Still never finished either littleBigPlanet, Portal 2 or Dead Island. I feel like a bad person.

[xchen]

Did anyone play Sleeping Dogs? Picked up a rental from RedBox this morning.

Also, finally played Journey yesterday - BREATHTAKING!

Did any of you cats get Black Ops II for PS3? It's a long shot, I know….

[Qinhan]

^ I was actually thinking about getting this for the 360.  Reviews seem good to excellent although I'm not really into online multiplayer.  I'm going to wait until Hitman Absolution comes out and then decide whether I want to buy this.

[xchen]

I decided to get it after watching videos of the online multiplayer and the zombies mode.

I'll be the first to tell you I'm pretty horrible at online MP… get slaughtered most games. I've got to play all the time to get good and usually by the time I start getting 2:1 ratios I'm burnt out on the game LOL.

I definitely prefer open world ARPGs with FPS aspects the most but I need to kill some time until I can put more time into the games I really want to play this season.
