Gaming thoughts of the day

[Peter]

Damn. I dont know if my netbook will support it
its Windows 7 starter only on it. May wait until i get a laptop perhaps.

[Yokosuka Martian]

Thinking of buying this baby

[mue 26]

I quite like that. Though I think I would like it more without the Shenmue 2 written on it.

[Spokane]

I thought it said Shenmue III for a second.

[Yokosuka Martian]

Beggars Can't be choosers :-p. I'd prefer it without the S II logo too but oh well

[Bluecast]

I feel like a total idiot as I can't figure out how to equip my second sword on Witcher 2. Manual didn't help.

[MiTT3NZ]

That's okay, I don't know how to use medigel for myself on Mass Effect 2 or holster my weapon.

[Riku Rose]

Quick question guys and hope for a quick answer. If i have a game for the PS3 back home in the UK, will it work on an Australian PS3? They are both PAL like.

Since they're both PAL or your games, DVDs and Blu Rays from home will work in your Aussie machines.

I finished the Walking Dead the other day, and I'm proud to say that no matter how many times it tried (and believe me, it was like quasi fucking modo swinging on my heart strings like they were attached to a bleedin bell), I didn't cry once. Felt myself welling up at times, but goddamnit, that game had brilliant writing.

I've never cried at a game, TV or a film but the Walking Dead was the closest I've ever got.

It kind of drops you into things, and the tutorials are long winded yet somehow tell you very little.

Still the thing to remember about the witcher is that its a universe thats even more grey then real life. Most of the time you really never know if you've done the right thing, and you never get answers. Geralt himself isn't a great guy, even though he's not a total dick either. Its not your typical "I make a character up A to be good, B to be bad" since you're working around his morality you don't necessarily do what you want to do, just kind of act as a voice in his head.

Fight on X!

[Samanosuke Akechi]

Doubt I'll get it but sure is tempting.

[Sonikku]

Seriously

[Henry Spencer]

So the new Fire Emblem is out soon in the US, we have to wait until April for it though. Regardless, I can't help but get excited for it.

Seeing this image on the game's class system is making me even more excited:



I seriously hope it continues being a big success and brings back the genre in a big way, sort of how the XCOM remake has for the Western turn based tactical games. The more the merrier.

It's impossible not to laugh at the DLC for female characters, where they have the chance of becoming a Bride (or so I assume). They don't make sexism like they used to
