This week I achieved a real milestone in my life. I achieved gold status on all Trials Evolution tracks. Gold. This means that I can finally retire from Trials duty and move on with my life. Oh, but I haven’t golded all the tournament levels yet? NOOOOOOOOOooooooooo!
But yes, I probably will be moving on from Trials Evo soon, before it kills me. But what are you guys playing this weekend?
The Cheapest NBN 1000 Plans
Looking to bump up your internet connection and save a few bucks? Here are the cheapest plans available.
I might replay one of the Tex Murphy games, possibly The Pandora Directive. The Kickstarter campaign for Project Fedora has got me in the right mindset. http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/texmurphy/tex-murphy-project-fedora
Ghost Recon. I finally got through the campaign (after much delay) and jumped into my first game last night. Bloody hell, I knew I’d be running into CoD players but I didn’t think that the CoD poison would be this huge! My first game had me teamed up with two groups of Snipers! I had TRIPLE the amount of points to them. I went through game after game of nothing but CoD players. So I guess I really need to form a real squad.
Other then that, maybe get into Dragons Dogma (pushed that aside for Ghost Recon), some Halo: Reach, Awesomenauts, maybe some co-op games for people willing.
Also might start Ninja Gaiden 3. Picked up my CE edition last night that I cancelled after reviews because it was more then half off due to their sale at EB.
It’s awesome. Feels really satisfying to eliminate all oppositions without being detected. I was put off by the camo at first, but it really helps the “guessing” part of stealth games where you don’t know if you’re vulnerable to being spotted or not. Despite the CoD players ruining it, it’s a great co-op/team focused multiplayer game. The game is mainly based around “information”, knowing where the other team is, setting up appropriate defenses and spotting them around cover. Sometimes you wonder if not killing the enemy and instead stunning them so that you can hack their equipment and reveal all enemy locations would be better, moving from cover to cover is feels better then most cover based shooters (you know, how there is cover but most people don’t use it and instead just strafe in and out of cover).
I have found this be a great game in all manner of tactics, maps and shooting, great overall balance as well.
there are prob a few things that could use a tweak here or there. I was a GR fan in the past and this has all the elements of what made it great and then some. Some of the MP games do seem hopeless to a point especially if you have people on your team that a) dont have a mic and communicate and b) dont work with the team to achieve the objectives. if any one has this on PSN let me know i will be crating a squad soon enough
I remember first heading into act 3 inferno and getting hit all the time by random 70k ranged attacks I hope your ready to farming alot of act 1 to afford all-resist gear.
Well if my WoW sub runs out like Blizzard says it was meant to 2 days ago i’ll probably play something I haven’t touched yet or finish L.A. Noire for a 2nd time.
Wow, congratulations on the Trials acheivement. Thats pretty impresssive.
I’ve golded up to the Limbo level but i’ve been too busy to get much further.
I’ll get there eventually!
Going to try and follow in your footsteps and gold the extreme levels… then go on to platinum all the easy, medium, and some hard levels!
Other than that, finishing off Fez (with the help of a playguide, only way possible) and Diablo III if lets me.
Still soldiering on through the VR missions in Metal Gear Solid 2. Finally started the dreaded MSG1 Snake missions during the week! Less than 20 missions to go, but damn these missions are so much harder!
I completed 86.2% of those…. My god they get hard! Now that I’ve not played it in a while my skills will be severely lacking… very hard to get back in to.
I am going to be playing Men Of War Assault Squad coop its a really nice brake from most of the mainstream games 😀
I finally got around to playing Cave Story+ last night. Really like it – makes me want to replay super metroid too, which is always awesome.
Ghost Recon, and in the downtime from that I will be playing any and every psone game that i can get onto my psp!
Finish off The Witcher 2, perhaps. I don’t want any RPG’s on my plate heading into end of financial year.
I got the bit trip saga for 3ds yesterday, so bit trip runner will feature prominently in my weekend. Looks like Bastion will too now!
Not sure, maybe Tribes, maybe Mass Effect multiplayer, maybe Beyond Good & Evil HD.
I tell ya what though, I have an hour long train ride tonight which means I’m going to get stuck the hell right into Xenogears on mah PSP. I’m quite excited to be returning to this game after so many years 😀
I think this is the sixth week in a row I have written ‘finish Mass Effect 3’ in this comments thread. So I’m not going to write that. Instead…um…I might go back to Stranger’s Wrath.
Hopefully not writing it will make me do it.
BF3 as always. Gonna be digging into some CoH (letting team mates down atm) and continue my adventure in the Wastelands of New Vegas which I only just started.
Finishing Act 4 of Diablo 3 with my barbarian. Then starting a wizard run through, if Nightmare doesn’t hook me with my barb.
Well that and playing find the cheapest airfare hotels I can for my last week in the US in August. Then I can finally forget about the trip for a couple of weeks until the excitement to leave hits me
Definately playing D3, although I’m getting sick of farming Inferno for gear and gold so I will be openly looking for diversions whatever form they manifest as.
Dragon’s Dogma and Ghost Recon as last weekend, Dragon’s Dogma is insanely addictive and awesome
Diablo 3 and Max Payne 3.
I picked up Dragon Dogma yesterday so I’m gonna start on that if time permits.
Ripping through the pile of shame continues after I finished Goldeneye Wii the other night.
It’s tempting to get back into Dark Souls next but I might save that for my holidays and get into Darksiders next.
Trying to finish my new game + playthrough of Prototype 2 on Insane difficulty… just have to take out Mercer and I’m done… great game, have thoroughly enjoyed it.
Then I’ll be playing Max Payne some more… getting my multiplayer level up, might try some of the other multiplayer modes besides 8-man death match.
DayZ! Heading north after respawning from my first death to a player. In anger I commited my first murder. I feel so bad.
I think I’m going to buy Awesomenauts as well for 3 player lolz.
Started the missus on Guild Wars and playing through entire 3 campaigns with her to get her up to speed on the story before GW2 is out later this year…. Been slowly banging a couple hours a day/night every day. Been over 3 years since I have played so playing as if brand new from box myself as well.
Forza 4, Tekken 6, and I might play through Harley’s Revenge again.
Though, Harley’s Revenge was pretty mediocre, espectially for its price.
Rock Band 3 tonight. Best party game.
Aside from that, probably going to check out those Humble Bundle V games!
I should actualy have the weekend off so I’ve got some warriors Orichi and Catherine planned. Hopefully some LOL and maybe even a little bit of diablo 3 or battlefiend 3
Starhawk. Update patch is out today, we’ll see how it affects balance/bugs. Apart from that New Super Mario Bros Wii with my son, And probably a few hours of Mass Effect 2 tonight (I’m late to the party and want to finish it so I can play ME3).
Well lets be honest with the 100 % boost from the Riot team why would you play anything other than LOL this weekend.
WoW and Minecraft most likely. I still need to figure out the mystery of the golden penis.
Trials Evo user content is better than the supplied tracks. you have more work to do.
for me… Trials Evo , BF3, Witcher 2 and Forza 4 are all calling my name. But i’ll probably just end up playing hours and hours of skate3 like i do most weekends
will try to unlock the new characters from the ME3 rebellion pack without resorting to using my credit card :-/
I will be putting some work into my Wolverine/Nova/Akuma team in Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 and trying to unlock everything in Everybody’s Golf World Tour
check out psychonauts and swords and sworcery from the indie bundle. also just got Payday the Heist on pc so wanna check that out
How can you have golded all tracks when people keep making them – honestly I think Track Central is the greatest thing about my Xbox right now. Also this weekend I will be finishing Alan Wake (I hope!)
