Loads of times in the game I did what I wanted and shot who I wanted and still got what I wanted lol

The Walking Dead, survival instinct.

As a fan of the show I thought I would get it, although some off the reviews slate it quite heavily it really ain't that bad.
Yes it's very linear and doesn't have super crispy graphics (which I think adds to the game) and the gameplay can be repetitive, bashing the walkers with your trusty hammer. It still has its kerb appeal. Very atmospheric, dark and full of the dead and has some hairs on your arms standing up moments.
7/10
I think the game would be much better if it used a similar concept like far cry, an open world with a vast map and a few towns/villages intermingled with some hamlets and farms, still a good game tho.

*It is.

I tried it out and though it was totally rubbish. By today's standards that game looks like it was made at least 10 years ago and on a tight budget.

Picked up Saints Row the Third -the Full Package as it's now reasonably cheap

..great fun bashing people in with a three foot long pink thing while dressed as a hot dog

but not quite as complete a game as SR2 overall

Played the entire series and I'll never forgive them for removing the multiplayer features that made the first game so brilliant. I don't know what happened.. The first and second had reasonable storylines that kept me interested then the third was just purely ridiculous.

Starcraft II - Heart of the Swarm

I know there's not a lot more you can do with it but it is just a continuation of the first one so this just feels like an add-on DLC. It's okay though.

Re: what game are you playing
 
I finished the Tomb Raider reboot at the weekend. *Excellent* game. The closest anyone without a PS3 will get to playing something like Uncharted. I actually think it does some things better, too, such as the combat, although the supporting characters are not as good. Excellent graphics, cinematic atmosphere, production values, voice acting (for Lara at least), gameplay, action...

I'm now playing BioShock Infinite, which is also *excellent*.

It's a RAM hog anyway, the server is really inefficient, especially if you have enough players on to keep a few chunks of map loaded in! Does it have any mods or is it vanilla?

Just vanilla at the moment, it's a 1GB pvs. There are only four players on the whitelist which should be well under the maximum, reasonable amount which it can handle.

Knowing that lot though there are probably huge mob spawners and redstone machines kicking about underground :)

Uncle Peter 24-04-2013 21:38

Re: what game are you playing
 
Well turns out there is a huge mob spawner made from biblical amounts of cobble which I suspect may be giving the memory usage a kicking. I've left them a few chests of TNT to play with ;)

Just got a WiiU and been getting to grips with ZombiU. Love the game and the overall concept of it. When your character gets turned you then take over a different survivor and if you retrace your steps you can find the zombie of your last game played and loot all the stuff you were carrying. Also set in London.

Also Assassins Creed 3 on 360.

Currently playing Metro Last Light, and wow is it resource demanding.

Currently getting around 100fps maxed out, without the SSAO turned on since it's not needed but if I turn it on the fps drops to 30fps.

Other than that is Black Op's 2, Battlefield 3 and COD 4, with some COD Zombies thrown in for abit of fun.

Enjoying Gears, never bothered at release due to it being a prequel but I should have.

WWE 13 on the other hand is pants. Combine the awful controls with numerous bugs including flying objects and various clipping issues :( Bit shocked this all wasn't patched before THQ did off. Was only £20 but still!

Payday 2: PC version, Awesome and well worth the £25 on steam.

My game has locked up a couple of times from the beginning to the finale of the story. Not frequent enough to be a real annoyance but still it shouldn't be happening. It's a relatively new console: one of the pre-slim 250GB super elites.

Re: what game are you playing
 
It originally started off as an April Fools joke but then they decided to make an expansion pack for SR3 called Enter the Dominatrix. THQ was having financial trouble so they merged it with what was to be SR4, and also to give them more time on development.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saints_Row_IV#Development

Despite what THQ said about merging the DLC and Saints Row IV, it's evident by looking at the final product that were was simply no Saints Row IV to merge it with or very little at the most and Saints Row IV is entirely the DLC standalone. So to call it Saints Row 'IV' is laughable.

All in all I think it's playable but as in the review thread it's nothing more than a new storyline and some red lines. Add a few new cars and charge £40? I thought it was made by Volition not EA.

Stephen 02-09-2013 21:41

Re: what game are you playing
 
So it started life as DLC but then was totally changed and added to, to become a full game.

Quote:

On June 18, it was confirmed that the game had been redirected to be a full sequel and will be released in conjunction with Saints Row IV in 2013.[6] It was later affirmed that Enter the Dominatrix will be downloadable content for Saints Row IV.[7]
However the original DLC idea will still be released as DLC.

cimt 02-09-2013 23:48

Re: what game are you playing
 
Yeah, that DLC is content that was cut put together into a sort of mockumentary style DLC if I remember correctly.

However the original DLC idea will still be released as DLC.

Most of the original idea made it into Saints Row IV, the plot, the matrix theme, superhero elements and so on. It wasn't changed that much.

Stuff that didn't will be released in said DLC quoted above in a behind the scenes DLC package.

Quote:

Volition revealed that the first piece of Saints Row 4 DLC will be "Enter the Dominatrix," and it will arrive 45 days after the game's August 20 launch, reports Game Informer. The DLC, originally planned as a standalone expansion to Saints Row The Third, will be taking a unique approach. It will be framed as a behind-the-scenes feature, during which the characters will explain why the content never made it into the full game.
http://saintsrow.wikia.com/wiki/Enter_The_Dominatrix

However please see the real issue here, Said DLC was already finished before the game shipped but you have to wait 45 days after release and pay for it? really?

Stephen 03-09-2013 00:41

Re: what game are you playing
 
Still they took ideas from a DLC and expanded it to create a full game. Not the first time that has happened.

Uncle Peter 03-09-2013 00:59

Easily enough content to justify a full price title. It's a great game.

Got myself a Vita and im LOVING it, got the 10 games bundle also, some games don't seem very good but others are alright, waiting for Uncharted and Unit 12.

Playing Little Big Planet :D cute and fun.

Well I've finished GTA V, pity I cannot buy a bigger garage as I have seen some lovely cars I would like to liberate.

I think that is one of the big drawbacks of GTA V. in IV you were able to buy more properties that also came with 2 spaces outside. So limiting each single character to 5 slots in total with only one safehouse and one special 4 car garage (ok 15 cars over the three characters) is a step backwards.

Considering all the 10 car garages in GTA:O as well, I cannot understand why we couldn't by more garages at least.
The same with online. You should be able to buy one apartment with a 10 car garage and then a separate garage somewhere else, or even one from each level. Luxury, Medium & Basic living spaces, then one 10, 6 & 2 car garages. That way you can have safehouses all over the island.
