6 years, 10 months and 14 days......

this sort of thing should be in /links, but I get the feeling they won't really appreciate it. /Board is for pictures you have made.

Otherwise just send it into the newsletter rather than posting it. Then again, this isn;t always the best idea, and I quote:

" PS. Stop sending this shit in, we're
contemplating suicide and it's pushing over the
edge. Thanks."

*I have no idea - I've just had too much sugar

(

Griffin Saver Something, something, 2006, something., Wed 3 Feb 2010, 13:02, archived)

and what has your pancreas said to you about all this sugar?

I bet he's not happy. Do you ever think of his needs? When was the last time you took him out someplace nice? Eh?

(

theoriginalsteve <this space intentionally left blank>, Wed 3 Feb 2010, 13:07, archived)

I took him out at the weekend

2 hours total from leaving the house to returning, £90 worse off, shit meal, shit restaurant, shit taxi

I'm not taking him out again

So - anyone played Mass Effect 2 yet?

Just in the throes of a final run-through if 1 to remember what it's about and generate a decent character to take into 2 but wondered if anyone has given it a run yet?

Relax, put down the sugar bowl and slowly back away...

I like it when it gets all scratchy in your eyes

(

Griffin Saver Something, something, 2006, something., Wed 3 Feb 2010, 13:09, archived)

Yup, I have

it's an outstanding game - a 9/10, BUT, it's missing various bits from teh first that I prefered (an inventory for one thing) and it's steadily moving from ActionRPG to a pure action game with a great plot.

Also, there are some NASTY bugs in it

Still a brilliant game, though!

theoriginalsteve <this space intentionally left blank>, Wed 3 Feb 2010, 13:11, archived)

not played it yet; finished the 1st one a few months back though

Playing Dragon Age like mental though, really enjoying that.

Dragon Age ate my life for about 3 months...

barryheadwound Mul-ti-pass? Multipass!, Wed 3 Feb 2010, 13:19, archived)

I just stopped playing that to go through ME2...

I have nothing that I can be bothered two play for almost a year, and suddenly to great games come along at once

(

theoriginalsteve <this space intentionally left blank>, Wed 3 Feb 2010, 13:21, archived)

That's kind of what I read...

As long as they've got rid of the sodding Mako though... Think it's a purchase for this weekend.

(

barryheadwound Mul-ti-pass? Multipass!, Wed 3 Feb 2010, 13:19, archived)

yup, the mako has gone...

I always kinda enjoyed that part of ME1....

(

theoriginalsteve <this space intentionally left blank>, Wed 3 Feb 2010, 13:24, archived)

Nah

...but it's quite easy to work around once you cotton on to the fact that there's absolutely jack sh*t to be gained by all that exploration.

(

barryheadwound Mul-ti-pass? Multipass!, Wed 3 Feb 2010, 13:26, archived)

not if you wanted to do all the collection missions - Salarian ID tags, Matriach Writings etc etc

and there were a good few hidden outposts and things if you went hunting about

(

theoriginalsteve <this space intentionally left blank>, Wed 3 Feb 2010, 13:28, archived)

But in terms of time invested/reward they're not any great shakes...

I'm not a hardcore completist so can do without a few achievements for the sake of a slicker game.

(

I know what you mean; I just really got into the game, so I had to hunt down all the stuff :D

£22.99 for PC

www.thegamecollection.net/mass-effect-2-pc-p-3139.html

The first one was one of the dullest game-playing experiences I'd ever had.

ME2 is suppossed tio be a bit better... mmm...
Think I'll save my pennies for Bioshock next week

(

Joe Scaramanga with a G-double-O-D vibration, Wed 3 Feb 2010, 13:34, archived)

really? I think it ranks up there as one of my favourites...

I hated Bioshock though. Loved System Shock, and when I heard it was the "spiritual successor" I got all excited...

I hardly used the plasmids, only when it was plot specific; the weapon upgrade system felt tagged on, it was too easy and so on... I still can't understand why it's so popular.

In other news, STALKER 3 is out on friday.

(

theoriginalsteve <this space intentionally left blank>, Wed 3 Feb 2010, 13:40, archived)

I just loved the atmos, the style, gameplay

I never played System Shock, so I wasn't playing it thinking "wahat a rip-off"

ME just left me cold. I'd heard so many good things about it and I settled down prepared to lose myself in it, and it was talking, bit of talking, some more talking, ooh choose a response, talking, ... I think it was an hour before I landed on the first planet. Or maybe it just felt like it.

(

Joe Scaramanga with a G-double-O-D vibration, Wed 3 Feb 2010, 13:51, archived)

Yeah, I see what you mean about that... I read the prequel book before it came out just for the hell of it, so

so when it came out, I was straight into it...

If you ever get the chance, pick up a copy of System Shock 2. Hopefully GOG.com will get it in soon

Bioshock was pretty good, bro.
