The Games we play...

I think you're right though. I think it's also that there was a massive shift at Lucasarts at that time. They completely changed their focus and the way they worked. You go from the company being one of the best gaming companies of the 90's to complete and utter tosh in a matter of just a couple of years.

It seems that they have gone for "what's easy" rather than "what's good". I suspect Lucas himself losing interest in everything other than Clone Wars bollocks hasn't helped either. They just became a churn out shop for franchise work rather than a software house that developed games that were inspired by the franchise/s.

It's a "we've got a massive universe of loved characters (yeah, right, if you think people love Star Wars characters now George after what you've done in the last few years), all we need to do is dump them into whatever game genre is currently fashionable and people will buy it regardless" attitude. Lazy, stupid and ultimately self-defeating attitude.
 
I will parrot Intricks about Lollipop Chainsaw, dispite not actually playing it yet. It's by Suda51 for christ sake. It's gunna be at least some what crazy.
 
^ I <3 it so. It has seriously become the first game in a LONG time that I want to replay constantly. Just the way the enemies are, how the boss fights are (ACTUALLY annoying amd fun) and it has some of the best one liners and dialogue I've had the pleasure of listening to!

Honestly, this is a game I cannot WAIT to beat to play over again and again endlessly!

Plus they gave her an Ash costume xD

Hoping someone will be able to help me here.

Been playing the demos on OnLive for a while and love it as it allows my super crap PC that struggles with Roller Coaster Tycoon to be able to play top end games seemlessly.

Anyway I've wanted to play Amnesia for ages and saw on OnLive it's on sale and now costs £3.50 instead of £11.99.

This is where I got confused. Do you need to pay the OnLive monthly subscription membership fee to be able to buy and play it?

When on the page to buy the game it says this.

I clicked on details which then came up with this.

It sounds like here you have to pay for some monthly membership. But then it also says future membership may not be free so is it free at the moment? They keep giving things different names as the only other thing I've seen where you have to pay monthly is the subscription thing but all that does is allow you further discounts on games and the ability to play quite a few for free.

So if anyone can help clear this up then I'll be grateful. I don't want to buy the game but then be told I can't play it. Or have my card suddenly charged for some membership fee thing.
 
it's the 6.99 playpack it is refering to, which you pay monthly for 100 odd games for free. if you buy it seperatly, it is yours without further charge.
 
Cheers. So I can buy and play it for £3.50 without having to pay for any subscription or membership?
I think it's the part that says "AND you need to be enrolled in an active membership plan" that confused me.
I was trying to Google it last night but couldn't find the answer among all the other questions people where asking after getting confused by something about OnLive lol.
 
Well, **** axe.

First off. Persona 4 Arena isn't region free. which is a **** joke. I wanted that game.

Shin Megami Tensei IV has been annouced on 3ds. Again, **** joke cause it means I'll end up having to buy a bloody American 3DS cause nintendo are retarded and have to put region lock on a portable. But who cares. Megaten <3

Started up a spare change fund to get my self a PS Vita. Persona 4 The Golden is out in October and I need WipEout 2048.

Preordered Tekken Tag Tournament 2: We are Tekken Edition. I only want it for the Bikini Pack cause it looks Hilarious. Dunno why I put a deposit down on the Special edit... Last tekken game I played Was Tekken 3...

furie, I saw you were playing Rock of Ages. Can you clarify something for me, hopefully you know?

When you're rolling your boulder, can you see the defence options you have built or only theirs? Can't work out if I'm doing something wrong or not :lol:
 
Found out Peraona 4 The arena is out in the UK so I pre-ordered it and I pre-ordered the special Edition of Dishonored for the Tarot Cards... I broke :C

OH YEAH, I finished all the DLC for Fallout New Vegas. Honest Hearts was Definatly the weakest of the lot they were all pretty damn good. Old World Blues is the best IMO. The Stealth Suit <3.

Each level is mirrored, with one side his and one side yours. So when you're putting down defences, you're putting them on your side of the mirror. When you roll, you roll down his side.

It confused me for ages too and then it clicked. I think you can scroll to see his side when you're putting defences down. It's an interesting game, but a little too busy and confusing at times :lol:

I've only played four levels, it's Maxi-Minor_Furie who loves both that and Awesomenauts :lol:
 
Kind of makes sense now, because I was wondering why I never passed their boulder too.

Awesomenauts is a great game by the way. One of the few games I've got as many trophies as I can (lack of friends prevent me getting the other two :lol:) but carry on playing.

The original Ratchet is HARD.

Just beat Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance a few days ago after finally getting time to play it. I really enjoyed the game and have been a fan of the since the original Kingdom Hearts so my opinion may be a little skewed. If you haven't played a Kingdom Hearts game before and have wanted too this is the game to start with. As you play through you unlock recaps of all the previous games in the series so this is the game to jump in.

It still suffers from a slightly confusing story not always being told in the best way but that's just the series as a whole.

9/10
 
I got Retro/Grade off PS+ yesterday, what an odd, odd game.

It's a space un-shoot'em up rhythm game.

Essentially, you start as you defeat the end of level boss in a game, then for some reason decide it's a bad idea. So you have to undo all your work killing everything by sucking the bullets, plasma and missiles out of the enemy.

It's all done to a beat with the bullets entering your ship in time to it. It's so weird having to reverse your perspective. All the bullets coming at you that you need to avoid come from the rear, those coming at you from the enemies have to be sucked back.

It's clever and interesting. I only played two levels so I don't know how much in the way of longevity there is in it...

In other news... Anyone remember "On Live"? They essentially went bust over the weekend but were bought out.

Apparently there was never more than about 1200 concurrent players online at a time. I think I may have had one or two negative things to say about the service. I wonder if it's a death knell and I'm right, or if they were simply too far in advance?
