What are you playing at the moment? - Page 269

Sniper Elite V2 - I love these for the ballistics & physics. I hate them for the 90s style of gaming, like enemies aren't in any way dynamic. You reach a line on the map, and guys spawn. There was also a point where I kept getting kills by some guy that always appeared off my right when I wasn't looking and he was silent until that shot fired. Still enjoying it though.

BF3 - This still spends a lot of time in my disc tray. Perfect companion to Sniper Elite.

I tried to play "Infamous" the other day and before I even started the game proper I felt seriously nauseous. Proper motion sickness, headache, feeling sick. I had to shut it down and close my eyes for about an hour before I felt better. I have had nausea before from games, but nothing like that. I've now deleted it off the PS3...

So I'm still playing GT5... I want to find the time to get to level 35 or whatever it is so I can do the Le Mans 24 hours. Then I'll get a couple of mates around and we'll do it straight through. It'll be boring as sh*t in reality, but it sounds fun at the moment

Anyone got their hands on Max Payne 3 yet?

Yes

Really good fun. As with most games I put it straight on to the highest available difficulty and 'free aim' instead of assisted aim (which is 'soft' or 'hard').

Its brilliant, difficult, but not off putting whilst it kills you (lots). It also does something that I don't know if I've ever seen. It doesn't give you a tardis of a pocket or an inventory system. Your arsenal is burdened by your ability to actually carry guns by hand. (or if they've got a strap, sling them over your shoulder!)

Only played through the first 3 chapters yesterday so now I'm off to play some more

Picked it up this morning and had a quick play whilst waiting for a 85GB VM to copy, only playing it on medium but still dying lots, though unlike most other games it's not frustrating as rather than waiting for the game to reload it puts you right back in the action to try again so it doesn't feel like a punishment.

I'm sure it's been done in a few games before although possibly not to the same level, I seem to recall in Soldier of Fortune being unable to carry all weapons at any one time. Ok, it was still unrealistic but it was some sort of nod to a limitation.

Diablo 3

Been playing a fair bit of Battlefield 3 recently and enjoying lots

Just got to work out why it crashes after each map switch.

Like Muban I'm also waiting for the next Guild Wars 2 beta weekend

Played the last one and loving the game

It's gonna be fab when it comes out and probably take up way too much of my time.

Rock Band 3!

Some Iron Maiden epics were released as dlc today, it would be rude not to!

Haly · 22-05-2012, 17:19

Dragon's Dogma. It's neverending! Although at least that means it's good value for money I suppose

But crap when you're working on a deadline alongside a pile of other things
