Darksiders -
Just stumbled through the beginning and got the wings for gliding,
gonna continue tonight.

MvC3 - 86% of the trophies completed, oddly enough I still need to get the perform a team areal counter then the rest are just online and the last mission trophy.

Although the platinum will have to wait for a while cause tonight I will start learning to play the game

@ Posty Awesome game if you play it on it's hardest level (Can't remember what it's called). It's bit to easy on the medium setting, but I loved it, good game, also lacks a bit of action now and again, you run and do nothing sometimes, they could really have added more demons and stuff, apart from that it was a good fun hack and slash game.

DCUO, damn the new update is amazing...found the new Valentines mission a bit pathetic, but hey, this game drips with AWESOMENESS so doing that mission wasn't too bad, just glad it's over lol!!!

@Morschee so I take it that you are going to subscribe?

Done and dusted dude

@Magius - "A quick DA2 Demo (PC) review"

Quick side note - Has anyone checked out the PS3 and Xbox 360 demos yet? Is the Xbox getting screwed again in the textures department?


A few questions:
- Do skill trees allow you to bypass skills this time?
- Can you still pause and only stack up one command?
- Can you still customize allies using the condition-target-action script?
- While customization of your race/looks are limited do the dialogue choices at least contrast well? I found in ME2 even choosing the paragon options would make Shepard sound like a smarmy d!ck in places unlike ME1 where personalities were better defined.
- And finally do you know if there's still an option for a ranger character? I'll be bleak if this is the first Black-Ilse\Bioware RPG I've played over the last decade without an animal companion.

@Morschee
Coming out of Dante's Inferno I was running in head first trying to cut people like i knew them;
Need to get used to the combat which is alot slower and move towards an adventure mindset but im liking it, i didnt think much of the style and look of the game a year ago but i was really enjoying myself lastnight.

Going to try for at least 80% trophys before the end of the weekend.

MvC3
played a couple online matches
dunno why i thought triangle jumps were so hard -_-
just need to learn that magneto bnb and i'm all set

Just jammed one HoN last night via matchmaking. Did pretty well, ended up with the highest number of assists out of everyone.
Kept getting kills stolen though so the numbers could've been different

Hey man,

- The skill tree looks like you can choose which way to go. So if you want, let's say rapid shot instead of pinning shot (archery) yo can choose that, but some skills require a prior skill. So Pinning shot is a prerequisite for another skill. Basically they have just cleaned up the previous skill tree to make it flow a bit better.
-When I played, it only seemed you stack one ability/command at a time. I think this is to make the game more action orientated. But I am not 100% sure so will check tonight and get back to you. I had actually forgot about that from KOTOR.
-It seems that they did do a better job with the dialog in matching tone with the choice, but the demo doesn't go into that much detail, at least the few minutes I played.
-Your options are limited to the classes of DA:O so fighter, Mage, Rogue. The Fighter and Mage can be customised to use ranged attacks and probably the other Ranger skills such as tracking etc and the Mage does double duty as a healer (cleric), spellcaster. I don't think that there are animal companions, except the Mabari Wardog that they will unlock if they get 1m demo downloads. But that is not a companion the way you want it as it then takes up a character slot in your party.

IMO this game, like ME2, is more an action game with RPG elements. For some reason Bioware seems to think that RPGs as we knew them just won't sell anymore. I always though that Bioware's compromise between real time and turn based using the pause function was perfect, too bad they seem to think that, that is not what is wanted or worthwhile anymore.

^^ I honestly prefer the 'action game with RPG elements' approach that Bioware has with ME2, and apparently, DA2. I'm looking forward to it even more now

@Tempest To each his own I guess. Having grown up playing AD&D and the old Goldbox games I prefer the old system. I still enjoyed DA:O, but more for the story and the quests rather than the mechanics. The same with ME2. I will still enjoy DA2, it just coulda been so much more IMO.

@Lurch OK Party control is still there, so I was just been silly last night. And no stacking of commands. Each click just overrides the previous command.

@MagiuS: I never played AD&D I've played Neverwinter Nights though, which uses D&D rules. I just like action RPGs more than 'traditional' RPGs nowadays.

RDR: Undead Nightmare - Zombies & the Wild West. Need I say more.

Gone back to Dead Rising 2, can't even remember where I stopped.

DCUO

Bulletstorm. Game is a lot of fun, graphics are good. Just don't try to take it to seriously.
One of your weapons is a giant remote controlled Godzilla :-D
The male lead is suspiciously similiar to Logan(Wolverine) same look, same attitude.
I think MP may just be a blast, depending on how powerful your lease is

That made me LOL

Yeah, it was awesome. The lead guy sings songs to it and shouts things like "destroy them, my pet! Bwahahahahah!"

P.S. He really is a prat...

I can see why you say don't take it seriously, sounds like one of those brainless run, smash and shoot the crap out of each other, which can be fun when the time is right. I might just get it sometime in the future, when it's a lot cheaper.

MvC3 - Arcade mode, running through very hard to get character titles because the online community in this is pathetic, not one SA lobby or ranked match around
