# I don't think I've even played any of the games you do.
You'll have to do an Oblivion on to appease me:P

# this
or perhaps Mass Effect, which I am currently loving in a big way...

# Have they released teh add on pack for PC version yet? NO. And I refuse to dig out my 360 version, as I dont have a save game that will let me access the new bits without replaying the thing.....

# On the 360 version myself...
First run through - only discovered it a couple of weeks back. Being all goody goody at the moment but can't wait to go through it again just being a complete fascist!

# hehehe, yeah, I've yet to run through as the "bad" guy sort....
still... Might try it in a little while after I've completed STALKER: SoC again

# Having played both through once each
and then messed about with them,

Stalker: SoC is (I reckon) the better game. More immersive.

I enjoyed the plot of MassEffect, but that wouln't change measurably on another play-through, despite the various unlockable bonussy things and challenges. And it massively fucked me off that they made lovely characters, a great plot, a variety of good alien races with decent back-stories and 39 land-on-able planets, and then populated those planets with exactly 3 duifferent building floor plans, all of them human.

# This month's PCZone promises a review of the Stalker prequel next month
I am literally beside myself with anticipation.
Literally as in th following diagram, where X represents not-me and 8 represents me.

# really? well I gotta grab that then... They better include a freeplay mode this time!
(I helped save b3ta! theoriginalsteve <this space intentionally left blank>, Mon 21 Jul 2008, 15:42, archived)
# indeed.
If you could finish the original then carry on freeplaying it would have been tits-out awesome.

I realise that some of the various endings wouln't have allowed that, but still it'd have been ace.

I bet I'll have to upgrade my PC again though.

# heheheh, yup :D
The other thing I wanted, was to be able to actually join any faction, not just do a few missions for them... Although I guess joining Monolith might have created some storyline issues....

# I have Oblivion.
I'm waiting to experience a boredom greater than that of playing it before I once again put it in my 360.

# No.
It's a silly game on a silly console with a silly name.

They should have stopped making games after that!

# I wish they'd released an expansion for Freelancer.
You could tell they were planning for playable capital ships :D
(I helped save b3ta! JollyJack - a stench from the past, Mon 21 Jul 2008, 14:58, archived)
# Freelancer was fantastic
but I could never get around the 'race' mission. I hate anything that is time dependent and usually fail. It's unfair to spoil a game by making early parts of it too difficult for players who want fun.

Without a doubt the best space trading/ battle game in the universe is X3-Reunion which is everything that Elite would have become without the bitchy legal battles that killed it off.

# well, there are no offical expansions, but Freelancer Discovery mod was AMAZING
makes the game quite a bit more difficult, but the extra stuff is astounding!

# I agree the console is silly
but it is a wonderful game that everyone should enjoy. Borrow one if you have to.

# actually its a damnably good game
the platform design is ingenius

# If you can work out how to play
Assassin's Creed I'd appreciate instructions for that, and a walkthrough, and a god cheat.

# You need a xbox 360 pad adaptor
(and a x360 pad too obviously) to appreciate it fully but it is a wicked game. Clocked it yonks ago, couldnt stop playing it. Whats the problem?
(I helped save b3ta! P3L3 is not my real name., Mon 21 Jul 2008, 14:23, archived)
# what's the problem?
I have to remember 300+ key combinations to do stupid things like 'look like a monk' when I'm usually pissed and unable to remember my own name.
I can't do console pads. My arthritis won't let me.

Plus the fact that it took a week of crap and shite then a not so helpful tutorial to actually get me to the first mission I kind of stopped there. So I've not actually played any of it ;)

# Hey. That looks like what I'm playing.
although I'm not playing it on a crippled toy like the x-box and it has no latency issues on my quad core sli rig I still fear i won't play it because having to remember combination key presses to correctly do something is not my idea of gameplay, it's more like karawankers brain training and I only bought it to have a bit of fun.

# persevere man,
its the story thats what keeps you coming back and you'll get used to the controls, you'll be leaping over rooftops and chopping people in half in no time.
Highly recommended gaming.

# The f**k it is.
It's a frustrating game with no sense of closure or reward at the end.

# Admits the end is fucking annoying the way it just (y'know)

But the game was rewarding all the way through for me.
