Sinister Posted March 7, 2009 Posted March 7, 2009 I gave Dead Rising: Chop Til You Drop a try, and I just could not get into it. It was for the Wii, and from what I understand it has some differences from its X-box predecessor. I think having to fight zombie Poodles and Parrots ruined the game for me. Anyway, looking forward to RE5 next week! http://www.geocities.com/xenogears23/Jokersinsigmgs.jpg "Life is hard. After all, it kills you." - Katharine Hepburn
Defender_16 Posted March 9, 2009 Posted March 9, 2009 Gotten into Dawn of War 2 over the past couple weeks. I Havent been spending a lot of time on it but it plays well. The campaign maps seem much smaller in scale in this game compared to the first one. This is due mainly to the reduced number of units you have access to. The Force Commander, Tactical squad, Scout squad, Devastator (support weapons) squad, Assault Squad (with jump jets) and later in the game a Dreadnaught. As you get access to all 6 diffrient squads choosing the right ones to deploy on the mission with quickily becomes a difficult issue. http://i67.photobucket.com/albums/h293/Defender_16/DOW2-SM.jpgA Force Commander and Tactical Marines http://i67.photobucket.com/albums/h293/Defender_16/841348-tarkus_large.jpgTarkus the Tactical Marine Sergeant. All of the Sergents and the Force Commander level up as you complete missions in Campaign. Choosing what skills to spend points on however can be a bit difficult.
DarthTofu Posted March 11, 2009 Author Posted March 11, 2009 I'm shaking a little bit with anticipation for Resident Evil 5. I may or may not go over to the local game store, beat the owner over the head with a wet fish, and then steal the game away from his cold, dead corpse to go off and play it... 'Course, I'll also have to steal a PS3 and/or an Xbox 360, seeing as I own neither. Benefits of girlfriend: She owns Xbox 360. She is a fan of the Resident Evil series. She even let me play as Chris in the demo, because she prefers Sheva. Boo-ya. And now I'm down to a mere 64 hours until I get some Resident Evil 5 goodness.... *Salivates over some more YouTube videos of gameplay/trailers* 12/14/07Nu kyr'adyc, shi taab'echaaj'la Not gone, merely marching far away
DarthTofu Posted March 14, 2009 Author Posted March 14, 2009 Resident Evil 5 is awesome. I just spent the last six hours or so blasting Los Plagas-infected Africans with my girlfriend. ... How many guys get to say that? Hee hee hee... awesomeness! 12/14/07Nu kyr'adyc, shi taab'echaaj'la Not gone, merely marching far away
Darth_Rob Posted March 14, 2009 Posted March 14, 2009 Im jealous. The only video games I can get the misses to play are trivia games, and Animal Crossing...

Mad78 Posted March 14, 2009 Posted March 14, 2009 I envy you Tofu. RE5 looks like an amazing game! http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a359/Mad78/Palpycard.gifhttp://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a359/Mad78/Spamkinguserbarcopy.jpgCLICK HERE IT IS VERY IMPORTANT!!!Click here is you like Trance
DarthTofu Posted March 16, 2009 Author Posted March 16, 2009 Oh, it is... but the last boss battle is pretty godawful. Read in black text for the way it goes.Okay, so the finale boss is (wait for it) Wesker! Only, it's not normal Wesker. Of course it can't be. Normal Wesker just wouldn't work. It's Wesker with his face blackened up and a new special type of virus all over him. Oh, yeah, and a random (charged) piece of electrical bomber jet on his arm. Did I mention that this is in the middle of a pool of lava in a volcano? Or that he can knock you off of the volcano and kill you in one hit? Or that, in the previous level, you had to try to shoot bullet-dodging Wesker about a million times, so that you no longer have any ammo? I had to upgrade my pistol to get any shots, which meant selling my nice bulletproof vest and an empty, now-worthless gun. The stages are non-linear at best for that final battle, and it took three or four tries before I finally even progressed to stage two of about five without getting myself killed (there's nowhere obvious to run- it takes trial and error to figure out where you have to go). Doesn't help that, as I mentioned, we're low on ammo, so we can't shoot super Wesker in his hard-to-hit vulnerable spots all that much. That's the last bit I haven't been able to manage, and other than the last two boss fights with Wesker, the game has been amazing- can't wait to do a replay on normal difficulty. But that last level is just a pain in the arse! 12/14/07Nu kyr'adyc, shi taab'echaaj'la Not gone, merely marching far away
Darth_Rob Posted March 16, 2009 Posted March 16, 2009 So you two beat the game already? If so, that was pretty fast. Your feeble skills are no match for the power of the Dark Side! My Website http://fp.profiles.us.playstation.com/playstation/psn/pid/BigBadBob113.png
DarthTofu Posted March 16, 2009 Author Posted March 16, 2009 No, we almost beat the game already; still got that last boss battle. We've lots of homework tonight, and tomorrow there's a German Club videogame thing (neither of us are actually in German, but that isn't stopping us from participating), so it'll probably be Wednesday before we finally kill that bugger. 12/14/07Nu kyr'adyc, shi taab'echaaj'la Not gone, merely marching far away
Mad78 Posted March 16, 2009 Posted March 16, 2009 I know the feeling Tofu.

DarthTofu Posted April 2, 2009 Author Posted April 2, 2009 The sad part is, I half don't want to believe that it's an April Fool's Day joke. Same goes for thinkgeek's April Fools page. All of that stuff looks legit. Well, except for the Portal shirts. Those are kind obviously fake. But the Swedish Bacon Squeeze looked like it could be real; same goes for the TaunTaun sleeping bag. 12/14/07Nu kyr'adyc, shi taab'echaaj'la Not gone, merely marching far away

Darth_Rob Posted April 14, 2009 Posted April 14, 2009 I got Resident Evil 5 in from Gamefly, and have been rocking through it. I really enjoy it. The online co-op is a ridiculous amount of fun. My friend and I have been going through it, and are over halfway through now. Your feeble skills are no match for the power of the Dark Side!

DarthTofu Posted April 14, 2009 Author Posted April 14, 2009 Fair warning- that last level will be a pain in the butt. Play it on singleplayer, as Chris, if you want to not have it be a pain. 12/14/07Nu kyr'adyc, shi taab'echaaj'la Not gone, merely marching far away
Darth_Rob Posted April 17, 2009 Posted April 17, 2009 Yeah, the last level was tough. I did play it single-player. It was a really fun game. I loved being able to play it with my buddy online.

I knew you were still doing stuff with 3D design, but I was under the impression it had something to do with furnitue for some reason...
