Especially handhelds.

I've always waited at least a year or two to buy new consoles, though that was more out of monetary necessity than conscious choice.

PC. I just helped my brother build a new PC over the weekend and the parts should all be here by the end of the week and I will begin to convert him to the ways of PC gaming.

It's so bad...

The original Game Boy was crap. It was just better than anything else at the time, plus it had Tetris. Game Boy Pocket was much better.

I've had my Gameboy Pocket for the past 10 or 11 years and it still works beautifully today despite being through hell and having to live with 8-year-old cousins for 2 years.

Pics please. I really want to build a new PC myself, but I'm wondering if I should invest in a good gaming laptop instead since I would love to bring it with me elsewhere to game too. Though with half the price of the gaming laptop I could build a PC that's even better.

I'm about seven hours into Mass Effect 3 now. I like the tone that the game's taken on. It's grimdark, end of the world shit, but there's a lot of humor and lightheartedness, depending on which planet or ship you're on. For example, when you're on the Normandy it's very serious, lights are dimmed, sense of foreboding. When you're on the Citadel, however, it's very bright and serene, and you mostly see the effects of war, like refugees, clogged hospitals, and so on. Leveling is leaps and bounds better than ME2 and importing a level-capped character that's been through the previous games really gives you an edge (I think you start at level 30 out of 50 if you hit level 60 in ME and 30 in ME2). Gun customization is back, much to my liking, except now you don't have twenty of the same mod clogging your inventory. Plus, most of the mods change the appearance of your gun, so you can have a sniper rifle with a bigger scope and barrel. Because scopes and barrels are directly proportional to Shepard's DIIICK.

Also, the new squadmate James Vega doesn't make me rage as hard as I thought I would. He's pretty useful in a fight and isn't all that aggravating in conversations.

Now some complaints:

mass effect is doo doo in all sereeusnuss

Jaxon · 03-08-2012, 04:37 PM

Definitely not buying the game full-price. Not with that cliche ending.

And that EDI/Joker romance. Oh God why.

War of the Roses guys. Think Mount and Blade but much prettier.

So, the Kickstarter for Double Fine Adventure closed. Did anyone else pledge?

***Demi-God*** · 03-13-2012, 06:13 PM

I wanted to but never got around to it, but they hit $3 million and they only wanted $400k, so I don't feel too bad about not getting around to it. I'll just get the game when it comes out and pay full for it, Schafer can have all the money.

But I need to play Monkey Island sometime soon.

Started on Ass Creed: Brohood, it's pretty damn awesome, I've just been going around and burning the towers, kinda easy to kill everyone once you can counter well, but still so much fun. Rome is the only place, right?

Pain in the ass, to be sure. Beat it right off the bat and got the Prothean companion. The amount of content does not warrant ten dollars. It should have absolutely been included in the disc at launch. The Prothean himself doesn't really bother me, he adds an interesting dynamic to some situations and conversations. Death of a child and dumb reporter broad from IGN or whatever. The "shock value" of the kid dying is unnecessary, especially the part where Shepard has a nightmare because of it. My Shepard's a stone-cold killer who headbutts krogan, pushes mercenaries off of skyscrapers, bangs alien bitches, and CQCs cunt reporters. My Shepard shouldn't be terribly phased to see a kid enter a shuttle and watch the shuttle get blown up among other ones. Dumb reporter broad is ugly as sin, but I'm glad I was able to tell her to stay the fuck away from my ship.
