UNIVERSAL VIDEO GAME THREAD

[Mat]

actually that's whats it looks like for all the classes I have seen previewed. Sadly at times the are not very creative. Just wrapped up my weekly's on my new 50 Vanguard HM ops on Monday. Cant decide whether to go with a Sentinel or a Gunslinger next. The Gunslinger of course being a themed character so I have taken extra step in creation and planning out leveling to get the correct orange gear.

Hey! Hey hey! Hey!



I. Don´t. Hate. You.

So, Mass Effect 3. Not done yet, not by a long shot, but so far.. eh. Not as good as the second game and certainly nowhere near as great as the first game. It shines in the tiny details, but the broad strokes? Bah I say.

My biggest beefs so far are that some quests cannot be finished due to how unclear they are and how useless the map function is when visiting the Citadel. It really needs to be better done. Also, I regret going with Kaidan, should've gone with Garrus instead. At least he knows how to wind down with a pair of sniper rifles and a crate of cold ones.

Surprisingly, the multiplayer is well done, only problem is finding a game that stays on-line long enough for you to play it. Seeing as you need to play a lot of those matches to get the best possible ending, we're in for the long ride.

That game, what I´ve heard of atleast, is either a big dissappoiment
or well versed plot twist ever, depending if the theory that has risen is true or not.
I don´t want to give anything away unless you are already aware of it,
just prepare to be more dissappointed/angry at the end. sad

I know all about it, these days it is pretty hard to avoid massive spoilers sadly. Knights of the Old Republic is one of those rare instances where I managed to get through it spoiler-free and I didn't play it until a few years after its release. whee

Finished playing Portal 2.
eek That........ was ******* AWESOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOME!!!!!! 4laugh  

[Hoxtalicious]

Portal 2 was a most interesting ride, great writing and some fun twists, however the puzzles felt less creative.

I agree alittle,
the only thing that made the game more challenging we´re the new features
added to the game, the 3 gels and sun bridge/portal. :/

Still it was a great game, good story and humour added to the mix. :3

"Cave Johnson:
Just a heads up: we're gonna have a superconductor turned up full blast and pointed at you for the duration of this next test.
I'll be honest - we're throwing science at the wall here to see what sticks.
No idea what it'll do. Probably nothing.
Best-case scenario, you might get some superpowers.
Worst case, some tumors, which we'll cut out. "

We decided to give the game "Façade" a try..

Here's how our playthrough went.. We opted to name our character Sam.

Quote:

TRIP
Where are the new wine glasses?

GRACE
What for?

TRIP
That should be obvious!

GRACE
Oh God, Trip, don't turn this into a big production, please!

TRIP
Jesus Grace, come on, I'm not asking a lot here!

GRACE
What -- Trip, don't give me that look!

GRACE
You're going to drive me crazy!

(Sam knocks on the front door.)

(Sam knocks on the front door.)

TRIP
Uhp, she's here!

GRACE
What?! You told me it'd be an hour from now!

TRIP
No, she's supposed to be here now!

GRACE
God... Trip!

(Trip opens the front door.)

TRIP
Sam!!

TRIP
Hey! It's been too long! How are you doing, you look great!

SAM
fine

TRIP
Great!

TRIP
Ha ha ha!

TRIP
Wow, it's so great to see you after so long.

TRIP
Come on in!

TRIP
Uh, it'll be just a sec while I go get Grace...

TRIP
(unintelligable arguing)

TRIP
(unintelligable arguing)

TRIP
(unintelligable arguing)

(SAM picks up the advice ball.) *WE WONDERED "IS THIS GOING TO END BADLY?"*

(The advice ball reads, "It's Definite")

(SAM shakes the advice ball.) *WE WONDERED "ARE THEY GOING TO ARGUE SOME MORE?"*

(The advice ball reads, "Who Knows")

(SAM puts down the advice ball.)

GRACE
Sam,

GRACE
Hi! How are you? God it's been a while!

SAM
hi

TRIP
Yeah, it's been -- (interrupted)

GRACE
H-mmm (happy smile sound)

GRACE
And, I've got to say, you look really good!

GRACE
Make yourself at home, come on in!

SAM
thank you

GRACE
Oh, H-mmm (happy smile sound)

TRIP
Oh, Sam, take a look at this photo I just put up from our trip to Italy a couple of weeks ago...

(Trip closes the front door.)

GRACE
(little sigh)

TRIP
Sam, Come here, -- (interrupted)

GRACE
Sam, come over here and sit on the couch with me.

TRIP
No, hold on. Now, -- (interrupted)

GRACE
Trip, darling, your obsession with that photo of yours is making our friend uncomfortable.

TRIP
(little sigh)

(SAM sits on the couch.)

GRACE
So, Sam, I'm hoping you can help me understand where I went wrong with my new decorating, ha ha.

TRIP
Oh, Grace, let's not do that.

GRACE
(little sigh) You know, when I saw this armoire on the show floor, I thought it had such a clean, simple look to it...

TRIP
It's a nice choice.

GRACE
but looking at it here in the apartment, it just looks like...

(SAM gets up from the couch.)

GRACE
(little sigh) a monstrosity!

TRIP
uhh...

SAM
no

GRACE
Really?

TRIP
See, Grace, you're the only one unhappy with your decorating.

GRACE
Oh well, I guess I'm wrong then. Ha ha. Thanks for clearing that up.

GRACE
(big sigh) Where's my drink?

(Trip shakes the advice ball.)

TRIP
Could be.

TRIP
Hmm!

GRACE
(little sigh)

TRIP
Heh heh, Sam, seeing you again makes me remember the good times we all used to have.

GRACE
Yes...

TRIP
Hey, I just realized something. -- (interrupted)

SAM
okay

TRIP
Y -- yeah, tonight is special!

TRIP
Sam, remember, it was almost exactly ten years ago, tonight, that you introduced us.

TRIP
Senior year of -- (interrupted)

SAM
right

TRIP
We really want to thank you for years and years of...

GRACE
Pain.

TRIP
Heh heh heh... Agony.

SAM
sorry

TRIP
Uh -- I - I mean, uh, it's, uh -- it's great you could be here tonight.

(Trip shakes the advice ball.)

SAM
really?

TRIP
Oh that -- that's just a little joke advice giver toy thing that I like to consult now and then...

TRIP
when I need a little guidance. -- (interrupted)

SAM
stop it

TRIP
You don't agree...

SAM
no

GRACE
N -- no, wait, what's wrong, Trip?

GRACE
Trip, there's nothing wrong with disagreeing in front of our friend --

TRIP
Disagreeing?! We're NOT disagreeing.

SAM
right

GRACE
What...?

GRACE
Well, we're all friends here...

SAM
yes

GRACE
Well -- well, Trip can get overly obsessed.

SAM
yes

TRIP
Uh, well, um, we need drinks!

SAM
no

TRIP
Ah I know... -- (interrupted)

TRIP
N -- no, no, heh, I'm going to open an exquisite Bordeaux!

TRIP
Top of the line, very rare, very difficult to acquire --

GRACE
God Trip, you're just like my dad with the whole wine snob thing.

SAM
yes

TRIP
I'll -- (interrupted)

TRIP
Perfect! Ooh, you're going to love this.

GRACE
No no,

GRACE
Sam, how about something simple, like a nice glass of chardonnay?

TRIP
Oh come on... -- (interrupted)

SAM
yes

GRACE
Okay! Trip, you heard her!

TRIP
No, this is a special get-together, I want to open this wine, I'm not going to settle less!

GRACE
You seem perfectly happy settling for less when you sneak off to that crappy little sports bar down the street!

TRIP
What?!

GRACE
Don't think I don't know about your secret little hangout where you watch football and drink lite beer with lowly construction workers...

TRIP
How -- how do you -- how do you know about that --

GRACE
If only the guys at your high class poker games knew about that, huh?

TRIP
What -- you --

GRACE
Some habits are hard to break I guess.

TRIP
Ahh, this is bullshit!

GRACE
Ahh, no, you're full of s**t!

GRACE
Your goddamn sports bar... -- (interrupted)

SAM
guys

GRACE
Huh? What, what was that?

GRACE
You so desperately want to be high class! So badly!

TRIP
(little impatient sigh) Sam, I...

TRIP
(frustrated sigh)

GRACE
Oh, Sam, yeah...

GRACE
I can predict what you'll say...

GRACE
You're so positive tonight, it's driving me crazy!

SAM
sorry

GRACE
Alright, yeah, fine...

GRACE
Romance... goddamn...

GRACE
Sam,

GRACE
Are you trying to say we've got problems? Or I've got problems, that this is all my fault from the start? Is that what you think?

TRIP
Oh, Jesus...!

SAM
you both have problems

TRIP
Okay, you know what, Sam,

TRIP
I need to ask you something.

GRACE
Trip --

TRIP
Grace, let me ask our guest a question.

TRIP
Sam, yes or no...

TRIP
When you're married, can you try to change the other person to be even 'better' than who yourself are?

GRACE
What...?!

SAM
no

GRACE
Oh, okay... fine...

GRACE
Don't you see, Trip?! Our marriage... is a sham, Trip! Don't you see that? It's all fake, all pretend...

TRIP
Oh, Christ...!

TRIP
Yeah, go on, get out of my face!

TRIP
I can't even frigging look at you.

TRIP
Goddammit, Grace!

SAM
jerk

TRIP
uhh!

TRIP
Sam, I can't believe this is happening...!

TRIP
uhh...

SAM
your fault

TRIP
Hold on, wait, what, y -- you're trying to explain this to me?

GRACE
What? Are you talking to me?

TRIP
What's it to you?

GRACE
Sam, in -- in what you said before, about helping your spouse... I think we've already learned something about Trip.

TRIP
Oh, we're talking about me, are we?

GRACE
What?

GRACE
Trip, it's your fault -- ten years ago, freshly married and just out of college,

GRACE
you convinced me to go into advertising, instead of art!

TRIP
What?

GRACE
If it weren't for you, I could be a real artist by now.

TRIP
Uhh... Sam, uhh...

SAM
should I leave?

TRIP
That's bullshit.

GRACE
Uhh...

TRIP
No we need -- we need to talk about us both, not just one.

GRACE
What makes me the most angry, Trip, is what you took away from me.

TRIP
What?

GRACE
I wasted ten years in this marriage, making advertisements, and redecorating our apartment!

TRIP
Uhh! Sam, -- (interrupted)

SAM
divorce

GRACE
Aha!

TRIP
D -- divorce? Sam, you think we should -- (interrupted)

SAM
yes

GRACE
Yes?

TRIP
This is bullshit...! you're saying it's over, we should just give up...?!

SAM
yes

TRIP
Oh, geez...

TRIP
Yes? -- (interrupted)

TRIP
Uhh...

TRIP
Uhh, this is too much, I can't take this...

TRIP
Uhh...

SAM
grace

TRIP
Let's talk some more about us both.

GRACE
Sam, it's time that Trip finally just admits that our marriage --

TRIP
Grace, don't, no, you don't need to --

GRACE
Admits that our marriage is not --

TRIP
Stop it, stop it! (annoyed sigh)

SAM
grow up

GRACE
Uhh...! God...!

GRACE
Uhh, I can't believe this...

SAM
calm down

GRACE
You know what's so annoying, is when you pretend to be all 'romantic'!

TRIP
What...?

GRACE
Trip, it is such an act!

TRIP
Oh my God... Sam, what... uhh...

SAM
I'm going

GRACE
No, I, I -- I want us to focus on Trip.

GRACE
Sam, every time Trip is unhappy he rushes out and buys some new gadget.

TRIP
What are you talking about? You're always buying stuff...

GRACE
Trip, you're the one who's always bringing home an electric lemon zester or automatic creme Brule torch.

GRACE
Let's continue focusing on Trip.

TRIP
Sam, look around this apartment. It's got everything anyone would ever want. But, Grace, oh no, she's never satisfied.

GRACE
Trip, ... ugh ... I'm so sick of this.

SAM
trip, shut up

TRIP
Alright, Sam, that's it, you've got to leave.

TRIP
There's only so much you can expect to put up with, you ******** you

SAM
c**t

(Trip opens the front door.)

TRIP
We'll be fine -- you should just go.

(Trip closes the front door.)

(SAM knocks on the front door.)

(SAM knocks on the front door.)
