Anyone here play video games?

[deadendpro]

xchen and deriv666, i added you both on PSN but you have yet to confirm me.

Also, i have blops 2: psn: deadendpro

[xchen]

I confirmed it 2 or 3 days ago, let me know if it still isn't showing up. I also added Alex and derivative666 the other day too.

I have blops 2 but I'm still rushing through the blops 1 campaign.

[natehate]

Anyone heard about when/if the add on campaigns for skyrim are getting released on ps3?

[derivative666]

^amazing game

[xchen]

Indeed. My wife gave me Dishonored today for my birthday. Will probably start that up tonight.

[natehate]

Yes it is but it's not fair that Xbox and pc get all the add ons while us ps3ers get shit on

[xchen]

Not trying to burst your bubble but I feel like I read that dlc content for Skyrim had been postponed indefinitely for PS3

[natehate]

Nooooooo I wanna kill vampires too. Unfair bastards

[xchen]

Nate have you played Dishonored yet? It's impeccable… reminds me a bit of Skyrim at times.

[Nathan Arizona]

Ps3's got dark souls too right? I hear people compare that with Skyrim but haven't played it yet. Got the E74 error on my 360 a few months back. Sounds like an easy fix but haven't spent he time. Meanwhile a buddy is tryin to get me on the PS3 but….. For me Xbox takes priority.

[natehate]

nope havent checked it out yet

[xchen]

Nathan, I used to be in the same mindset as you but I got a PS3 a year ago and hardly ever turn my X360 on anymore. Haven't paid for live in years. And yes it has Dark Souls. I have not played it but have heard it's brutally difficult.

Nate, Dishonored is made by Bethesda, the Elder Scrolls people. It's kind of a steam punk version of a Count of Monte Cristo assassination/revenge story. It's not as massive as Sky rim by any means but you have near unlimited freedom in how you complete missions with an option to avoid killing people in the game entirely (nearly impossible).

I finished Dishonoured last week - enjoyed it immensely.

[natehate]

why would you wanna not kill people in a video game? thats just silly
thats what video games are for?

[unharmed]

Actually I found getting a "non-lethal" level completion extremely satisfying. It's quite a challenge on some of the levels.

It's also extremely satisfying to stab a guard in the neck and throw him off a bridge though….

love non lethal stealth.  I love Dishonored also, but I stopped playing while doing the last level, need to go back and finish

[xchen]

I agree - the aspect that calls to me is the freedom to tackle missions in any way you choose. You can go through and blast everyone in the face if that's your play style or you can use non-lethal stealth. Most of us would probably use some combo of those styles.

I can't freaking wait until Far Cry 3 next week… Open world ARPGs are my absolute favorite.

[SpaceGnome]

im considering Far Cry 3 as well.  Its getting good reviews, and open world games are fantastic.

@xchen:

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

Also, finally played Journey yesterday - BREATHTAKING!

Played Journey a couple of days ago, loved it but wished it was longer. Also how did you find sleeping dogs? i'm thinking of getting the enter the dragon style martial art competition DLC.

[xchen]

Played about 3 hours into it and ended up returning it - there were aspects of it I liked more than GTA4 and I thought it was a good effort. A friend of mine loved it and beat the while thing in about 3 days.

I really suck at fighting games though and found myself struggling with even the early fight sequences. I'd like to be able to use a gun at any time but I understand that's not the game they were trying to make so I don't fault them for it.
