The Carl Sagan Out - Smoke Weed Everyday

[Inferno.]

I don't remember the NES at all, like I don't even remember them being around. It was all about the Mega Drive when I was a babby.

Same, then we got one with a few games TMNT (AWFUL) some top down 4x4 racing game (TERRIBLE) and Super Mario Bros 3.

I really enjoyed Dragon Age. For some reason, at the moment I'm lacking anything else wonderful to say about it. I obviously need to play it again.

It's got the fairly typical you're-the-chosen-one-now-go-save-the-world sort of WRPG storyline, but I think it's done well enough to keep your attention. It's been ages since I played Baldur's Gate, and it was lovely to have my characters bantering with one another again. People complain about how the combat is bland, but I would suggest turning the difficulty up to nightmare for anyone who's terribly bored with it. And I was just addicted to it when I finally brought it home.

Doesn't that just make the combat a bland brick wall?

I don't know. I loved Baldur's Gate and tried to play Dragon Age, but every time, I just sort of stall in Orzammar and stop playing. I learned later that a lot of people tend to consider Orzammar a dreary trudge and the most difficult part of the game to get through...but that's the Deep Caves. I can't even get that far in the city before stalling out.

GLORIOUS GAMEPLAY.

Also, how was Dragon Age for your PSTRIPLE? I've been on the fence for getting for a while (because I'm always broke) but how was it quality-wise? Decent?

It's good, but it's damn hard to micromanage with a gamepad.

Also, there's some serious framerate issues once shit gets serious.

If you've played a PC to console port or played one of these games on a middle of the line PC, you'll be fine.

So yeah, you should have no real issue.

Bitches don't know bout shitty PCs.

Perhaps.

I thought Orzammar was pretty boring too, the city itself and the Deep Roads. I ran through the main story twice (so I could import a character other than my first one into Awakening) and dreaded Orzammar the second time around.

This, too. Silly frame rates.

The only thing I really disliked at times was trying to figure out which six abilities I wanted to map to the buttons square, triangle and circle buttons. I'm assuming these would have been 1-10 on a keyboard, which would have provided more options and probably smoother implementation in battle.

Finally finished rewatching F&G. I still miss this show something fierce.

Say what you want about DA:O's combat being more enjoyable on higher difficulties, the Deep Roads can go fuck themselves. Still liked the game a lot, though. But that's not a secret to people around here.

Also, DA2's demo, SON I AM SOMEWHAT DISAPPOINT BUT HOPEFULLY THE FULL GAME WILL BE KINDA AWESOME. More in the GG section/ General Gaming discussion thread.

Bioware has just released an official patch for Mass Effect 2's PS3 version - and unwittingly revealed some information about the final piece of downloadable content for the game in the process.

Three new trophies included with the new patch all refer to a new piece of DLC titled 'Arrival' - and Bioware had previously confirmed that one more piece of downloadable content was on the way for Mass Effect 2 via their Cerberus News Network service.

Please be like Shadow Broker and not like the Kasumi mission. Please.

Also, I have a suspicion that "Arrival" might have something to do with ME3 and Earth. Maybe.

And Ray, stop stealing my ideas! I was going to do a quick LP of the DA2 demo tomorrow, but now I feel it'd be redundant.

I'm kind of expecting to be somewhat disappoint with the game in general, but hopefully I will find that I was mistaken.

Also, I really don't want to spend 60 bucks on a game when it's going to come out with a bunch of DLC afterward. But I just might. After all, I'll have lots of monies and a spring break to waste shortly after its release.

DA2, like all other DA's, is gonna suck.
