What are you playing at the moment? - Page 80

Ahh mine just sits there

But I don't have the heart to sell it. The problem is neither do I have the heart to buy something like Mario Galaxy for it which I really should do

Handy babysitting tool though when my cousins descend

I sold mine; I almost got back what I payed for it.

I did complete Super Mario Galaxy first though

Playing FEAR 2 on the PC.

Very good so far, but would have preferred it not to be a Steam game.

After finishing nearly all of the single player activities in Skate 2 this weekend (only a few bonus challenges and some pro skaters to beat), I went back to some old games I've not played for a while.

Started with Guitar Hero 2, had a quick go at the Expert career again, and have finally made it to the final tier. Failed on Misirlou and Hangar 18, but I'm finally closer than ever to getting my ass handed to me by Freebird!

Then went back to Rock Band 2 as I was in the mood for more geetar playing. Unlocked all the venues now and started making some inroads into all the challenges.

Yesterday we found naff all to watch on TV, so Lynnie was happy to sit and watch me play Devil May Cry 4 for half the day. Haven't played it in nearly a year and when I did I'd only played the first 3 missions, so decided to start again as I couldn't remember any of it anyway. After a good concentrated session I went through the first 7 missions and really enjoyed it. Was nice to see more of the story and I'm going to try to go through it more and finish it off. Absolute bitch of a game for achievements though, I'll be happy to end up with a couple of hundred points in the end!

I'm currently playing Mirror's Edge, I've completed the game, got all the achievements from Time-Trials and collected all the bags.

Yesterday was a bitch though, I was playing, had 26 out of the 30 hidden bags, as I picked the last one up it came up with a 0/3 (level) and 0/30 (total), which was odd, but I finished the level and quit game, when it went back to the main menu I only had the option for "New Game" and had lost the options to "Chapter Select" and "Continue Game", I had also lost the option to "Speed Run" in the Time-Trial menu. I figured an Xbox Live disconnection had triggered a signing out in some bug you'd expect in an early Xbox360 title, but I wasn't, I was still signed in and on Xbox Live.

I turned the system off, checked my Memory settings and my save was there, booted the game only to be greated with the same "New Game" only option. My save had actually disappeared as I was in it and with it I'd lost "Speed Run" mode which I got from completing the game and all my Time Trials were pad-locked shut again (thankfully I had made the 50*'s the night before). The biggest loss was losing 27 out of the 30 bags I'd picked up, so I completed the game again last night with the 30 bags collected and am now only left with the Speed Run achievements on Chapters 1-9 as I've already completed the prologue. Still undecided on whether to get the DLC though. At the moment I think I would enjoy it, but after frustratingly failing several Speed Runs to come I expect doing more time-trials is the last thing I'll need

.

My goal at the moment is to attempt to finish off more games rather than recklessly throwing myself in to new games. I'm also trying to continue on the 1 or 2 story driven games at a time only, so I am still going through Fallout 3 where I have completed around 60% of the missions, found 12/20 bobbleheads and discovered around 30% of all the locations(!). I'm around 58 hours into that now, so it really does show its scale if you're speaking to everyone, saying everything and reading everything - it's truly genius.

After Mirror's Edge I'm a little torn as to whether to get Prince of Persia done or go onto Tomb Raider Underworld which is still in its celophane wrapping. The completionist in me is saying to finish Prince of Persia but the gamer in me is saying Tomb Raider Underworld.

On another note, my ankle feels pretty awesome this morning Davey, so I'll be taking a walk down to the Post Office tomorrow and sending you Dead Space back recorded to your office address, sorry about the delay but I really didn't want to hurt myself further. If there is anything you would like to borrow, just let me know.

Davey_Pitch · 02-03-2009, 15:34

Cool, thanks Karl. I don't think there's anything I need at the moment game wise, got more than enough to play myself and still have a few games on my shelf which I've not even played yet

NokkonWud · 02-03-2009, 22:48

Just won the Tomb Raider DLC, Beneath the Ashes from a code given out by AceyBongos on Twitter, which was nice, saved me 800 points, so I guess Tomb Raider is next on the agenda.

Haly · 02-03-2009, 23:36

Nice one

Psymonkee · 03-03-2009, 00:48

lucky goit

I'm stuck playing sodding Mafia Wars on FB

How sad

Justsomebloke · 03-03-2009, 09:51

COD5

So it was a freebie from Lovefilm & initially I will say make sure this is only a rental as it is the shortest game you'll play single player, Shocking how short it is, I started it 1 day & played it for under 2 hours, maybe an hour & a half, Then the next day I thought sweet I'll get into COD5, I fired it up & was around half hour in when it finished

+

I've started it again on Veteran just to get a bit more single player as I do have to admit to liking it

I do love 2nd world war weapons though as I think that the rate of fire/reload suits online gaming perfectly. Saying that I only tried online for about ten minutes before I got a phone call & a visit that dragged me away from my gaming

So I like the game & have high hopes for the online play but still haven't gotten over how short it was

Best bits are the banzei attacks & being able to stab them in the throat at the last minute, Excellent extension to the melee kill.
2nd world war weapons & Hopefully the online play but like I said I can't really comment until I've done a few hours online.

Fallout 3.
What the ****

I started off in my mums womb for ***** sake

I've grown to about 16 or summit & have Killed the overseer & now am stuck in the tunnel lost

Something tells me I maybe shouldn't have killed the overseer dude but his daughter won't talk to me any more because I beat her down 4 times in a fit of rage

What can I say I was revved up after killing a couple of gaurds ran into this room & some old git was nagging me, I wasted him of course & then this Doris came running in moaning an all, I clubbed her like a baby seal but the game won't let me kill her, this got me thinking a bit & then it was like Doe

Maybe I should be a bit more selctive about who I kill

I am lost now though & not killing anybody

Following the arrow thingy dont help because of the different levels, I take it when the arrow thingy is solid you are on the right floor but am ***** if I can find anywhere new to go, Kin games
