Do you play on PC? If so - what's your origin ID?

We can play a few rounds sometime :noon

Re: Games thread!
 

@ Apoco i do but im down to my crappy laptop atm.

Now onto the real post as i see quite a few people play skyrim heres a few mods ive found that make it worth playing...unless your on a failbox.

HD Textures

Clear water

And last but not least a decent house mod as the stock ones are dull.

I also suggest getting the body mod and more detailed faces so you can use the more creative armours and dont look like you've been beaten around a pig sty with the ugly mace.

Re: Games thread!
 

Feel free to keep posting good Skyrim mods :D

I think some of the leveling is pretty rough too, I still think I'm sitting at 55. I wish there were more enemies in the wide open terrain.

Re: Games thread!
 

Who cares about mods that make the game more challenging and stuff - just give me the "ADULT" mods! :r

For some horrible reason the term "spor-n" (from spore) comes to mind. :pu

Re: Games thread!
 

Make it stop MAKE IT STOP though the bouncing boobie physics is pretty good.

:r :r :r

I've seen youtube reviews of some hilarious mods.

There was one that I saw that replaced all dragons with Macho Man Randy Savage. One that made all crabs into Zoidberg. INSANITY!

Re: Games thread!
 

That's almost enough to make me buy the game by itself.

Here's the video I was talking about regarding macho man randy savage.

Re: Games thread!
 

Just installed Syndicate, hopefully this will be a decent first person shooter. Looks alright so far.

Re: Games thread!
 

So far Syndicate is very fun, played through the first few missions. It reminds me of Deux Ex. I'd say it's a very decent first person shooter, hopefully it has some decent game time.

Re: Games thread!
 

Alex, that video is amazing. I need to buy that game, I'm just scared how much time I will loose.

Re: Games thread!
 

And the verdict, 4-5 hours of gameplay. :td

Fun game, but way too short...not much of a storyline either.

Re: Games thread!
 

Ugh....just finished Darkness II.....another ~5 hour single player :td

Interesting but got redundant real quick.

Re: Games thread!
 

Playing Rage right now, kinda like Fallout meets Borderlands I guess

Re: Games thread!
 

I love it!

Playing the demo on Origin right now. It looks f**king :dr :dr

Re: Games thread!

It's not exactly what I expected/wanted but I think I can cope. ;)

Re: Games thread!
 

Play the first two if you haven't already.

Re: Games thread!
 

I did play the first 2 ME's. Great games, loved ME2. ME3 looks spectacular.

Re: Games thread!
 

Awesome. Midnight release at gamestop. Can't wait to get mine!

Re: Games thread!
 

The day 1 DLC release for ME3 pushed me over the edge. I don't think that's cool.

I've been playing BF3 like a madman the last few days.

Re: Games thread!
 

Ive been rocking out with my pp out on brand bazaar its a gun that should come with a bottle of anal lube and latex gloves as standard.

And as there's only 3 days left for ME3 for me as im not a lucky yank im going to be hitting youtube to watch the cutscenes like the last two games.

I prefer to know the ending at the beginning.

Re: Games thread!
 

ME3 time!

Re: Games thread!
 

Just posted in the Retro Games thread, but so pumped that I had to share here:

Freakin' sweet!

Finally hit 82,000 Engineering XP in BF3 last night. Unlocked the Javelin and went to town :)

Re: Games thread!
 

But you cant javelin on metro.

Still this thing produces so many tears is glorious.

Ohh a tan........DENIED

That's ok - I never play metro ;). Too much grenade/rpg/shotgun spam for my liking.

I've also FINALLY been learning how to control the fighter jet properly. I actually won a dogfight yesterday. It was beautiful.

Re: Games thread!
 

Finished ME3. Heck of a game, time was ~25 hours.

Installing the DLC and going for round 2 :D

Re: Games thread!
 

GOING ABSOLUTELY INSANE!

I'm in cali for a month training for a new job. I bought ME3 when it came out, but I've got to sit on my thumbs for another week 'til I get home.

*twitch*

Re: Games thread!
 

Did the ending feel like a kick to the junk or what? I've played through it twice now and still waiting for some sort of resolution. There are threads all over the net and you'd think Bioware had burned down these peoples houses instead of just made a crap ending that made no sense.

Re: Games thread!
 

I've completed the game twice as well and I am starting my third play through. First time I didn't do side quests just the story line ~25 hours, second play through I tried to get EVERYTHING ~37 hours.

I might be one of the few but I didn't hate the ending. Part of it needed to be and made perfect sense.

The other part....not so much.

I don't want to post spoilers as many people probably haven't completed it yet.

But overall I still have to say it was one of the most impressive games I've played in a long time.

Especially since if you do everything and go for ~98%+ completion (it doesn't tell you % but you know about how much) it has about 40 hours of gameplay.

I find that very impressive, these days I've played MANY of 5-15 hour games and it pisses me off.

Back in the day games lasted much longer. This one definitely delivers.

The only thing that bothered me was the ending wasn't really effected as much as I'd hoped for putting in the extra ~12 hours to try and complete everything.

Either way playing the game three times in a row speaks volumes for it and it's replay value and I'm just talking single player. Not even multiplayer.

Re: Games thread!
 

Pm me your Xbox id if you want and we can do some multiplayer. I agree about the game, amazing game play, but I didn't find very much redeeming about the ending, I honestly think they are setting themselves up to sell some DLC endings.

Re: Games thread!
 

Don't play on Xbox. PC only.

About to start a vanguard for my 3rd playthrough.

I tried soldier for a bit but it's so boring.

Re: Games thread!
 

Vanguard is definitely not boring, I did sentinel on both play throughs cuz I like watching heads explode in slow motion and I'd heard there is a better ending with 5k ems on ng+ maybe there is but I didn't see it.

Re: Games thread!
 

I got the exploding slow motion heads with Infiltrator + black widow sniper rifle with perception scope on the weapon modifier....SICK headshots, and 3 in a row :r

I just started Vanguard, I'll play more later today. Seems like a lot of fun though.

Re: Games thread!
 

Finished ME3 last night with my me2 save (everyone survived and renegade) and i goto say its a great game but the endings are just crap whatever way i look at it its a bad ending IMO.

And the second thing that grinds my gears is the difficulty i set it to narrative so i could get the full story but its easy as piss it should of been like ME1 full RPG style story with easy-insane diff.

ps. Talis face is revealed but those fingers are creepy as ****.

Re: Games thread!
 

I find that different classes are harder than others. IMHO Adept was god awful. Infiltrator was a cake walk. Soldier seemed so-so, vanguard looks like a cake walk too.

Try one of the more defensive classes, maybe that might help.

Re: Games thread!
 

I meant infiltrator lol, sentinel is too much of a hybrid for me.

The endings range from disappointing to astonishingly ludicrous.

Re: Games thread!
 

I kind of figured that :r

Yeah I'm going to try Vanguard and complete the game for a third time.

Then maybe engineer for more of a challenge.

I don't know, nothing else is coming out right now and the replay value on this one seems to be quite a bit.

Re: Games thread!
 

Did you get the green ending yet? If you wanta challenge Engineer might not be for you, all the toys you get make it pretty easy.

Re: Games thread!
 

No kidding hmmm

I've seen the 2 endings. Not sure how many there are.

Re: Games thread!
 

If you have 3k ems there is a third one that is beyond stupid, I'll let you find it on your third play through though lol.

Re: Games thread!
 

Interesting I think when I completed the game I was a touch short of 3K. Maybe 2,800.

Re: Games thread!
 

Just do a couple MP games, if you win your percentage goes up about 4% if you lose it's more like 2. 3k is hard to get without doing multiplayer, and the MP is much less painful than I had originally feared.

Re: Games thread!
 

Ah so that's how people are getting more endings and such, multiplayer.

I kinda hate when games focus on multiplayer or tie it in to single player. Maybe I'll give it a shot.

Re: Games thread!
 

You can also run the same character through twice, but MP is easier, and I agree with you, it's stupid to have to play MP to get the best ending.

Re: Games thread!
 

Does NG+ do anything special?

Or is it just the same thing over again at a higher level?

I don't think you can get 50 in one single player game. I finished at 43 with 2800 EMS. Pretty sure I did 95%+ of the content.
