Same here. I just bought Battlefield: Bad Company 2 on Steam sale so my multiplayer cravings will be sated for quite some time.

Brink came out today... anybody interested?

I am, but I've been buying up too much lately. Might give it a try when it comes down in price.

yeah, i'm not going to buy it. renting it to check it out, if I like it then I'll buy it sometime in the future.

but I'm definitely buying L.A. Noire next tuesday. :dio:

well, the reviews for Brink are in, and they are quite underwhelming.

Bought a new laptop that has surprisingly good graphics capabilities for a $700 machine. So I bought S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl to go with it.

Yep. I ordered it cheap online, saw the reviews and promptly cancelled it despite the fact that I would have been getting it at half price compared to shops here :lol:

no more Gears 3 beta...

and Brink sucks.

Just finished Portal 2... so awesome.

I just don't understand why more game developers aren't making epic games like Portal. I'm talking about the dynamic environments and the insanely awesome/hilarious way of narrating the story. I mean Portal is a game that takes place in an abandoned underground test facility. Sounds pretty dull, yet somehow it manages to be more epic and exciting than most modern FPS games.

I like the song during the end credits. I wish I can download it.

It does? It's got a 73 metascore on Steam which isn't all that bad.

it feels clunky and incomplete.

anyway, LA Noire came out today. Probably going to pick it up after work.

If memory serves they're working on a patch for Brink just now.

DevotedWalnut · **Posted:** Wed May 18, 2011 1:27 am

I know they released a patch at launch to fix some graphical issues and lag. When I was playing, there was still lots of lag and some weird graphic hiccups. It's almost like they rushed this game to beat the holiday rush.

Got LA Noire today woot :dio:

Well, I bought Portal. Then my PS3 gave me a red critical error screen. So yeah......... fuck Playstation.

I officially hate LA Noire and Rockstar (and so does many other people) now. There have been lots of reports of xboxes and ps3s freezing and dying as well as overheating even data being corrupted on the harddrive. The latter just happened to me, only it did not just corrupt my LA Noire save, oh no that would been much more preferable to say...CORRUPTING EVERY GODDAMN SAVE I HAVE!!! So now hours upon hours of work down the fucken shitter...FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK!!!! Everything i have done on BF: BC2 gone, Black Ops gone, my Torchlight save gone, my level 56 Soldier on Borderlands that i've put close to a hundred hours into is MOTHERFUCKING GONE. etc etc...FUCK ROCKSTAR, FUCK TEAM BONDI.

Sorry guys, i just needed to vent...oh well then it's off to gamestop to sell my old xbox and shitload of games that i can't be bothered to start from scratch again. Probably gonna pick up a new Slim. *deep sigh*

And THAT'S why you never buy new games.

Speedyjx · **Posted:** Sat May 21, 2011 1:18 pm

Just finished Dragon Age: Origins. Now going through all the extra expansions and whatnot.

Skartasis · **Posted:** Sat May 21, 2011 2:22 pm

Crysis 2, pretty cool.

Legacy Of The Night · **Posted:** Sun May 22, 2011 2:11 am

Amnesia

aka: "Holy fuck what was that noise oh god no" the game

DevotedWalnut · **Posted:** Sun May 22, 2011 7:05 am

I just bought L.A. Noire today but with all the reports of freezing, crashing, etc.. I'm kinda scared to play it. I have an old x-box and I'd rather not have it die on me.
