Steve Justice Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 Finally started Farcry 3 today. Only played it for about 15 minutes but have been attacked by a crocodile already, which made me shit my pants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members PunkStep Posted March 18, 2013 Paid Members Share Posted March 18, 2013 I shit my pants when I saw a crocodile just floating in a river that I was about to swim into, let alone being attacked. I also shit myself when I saw two Komodo Dragons charging towards me and did what any brave soldier would do- quickly open up the map and fast travel the fuck away from there.

Steve Justice Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 I ran into Komodo Dragons last night. Smoked those mutha fuckas like it ain't no thang. Â Already starting to see the appeal of the game with all the side quests. Need to get stuck in properly though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loki Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 Picked up Battlefield 3, really liking it but my old Xbox keeps giving me the "Disc unreadable" gubbins. The multiplayer is cool, although I am mainly running around like a headless chicken.  We'll be unstoppable as a team, you can take point  One really interesting thing about popping in Battlefield 3 after playing Far Cry 3 for ages - Battlefield's visual fidelity and sound quality are leagues ahead. It's like a different console. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Murtz Posted March 18, 2013 Paid Members Share Posted March 18, 2013 Metal Gear Solid Rising.. one to buy or one to rent? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members FLips Posted March 18, 2013 Paid Members Share Posted March 18, 2013 Metal Gear Solid Rising.. one to buy or one to rent? Â Rent. My mate is a die-hard Metal Gear fan and he said it's one of the shittest games he's played. He said it's about two hours long if you take all the cutscenes out.

It's like a different console.  An open world game is always going to sacrifice visuals and sound to other games though. But Far Cry 3 is a million times more fun than Battlefield 3 (which while good, is just another war game). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merzbow Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 Metal Gear Solid 3 is my fav game ever but i loved MGSR, i'd still say rent it unless you're one of those that plays for high scores like in the old days as that's how Platinum make their games. Remember when competitive single player games were a thing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Retro Red Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 I think that getting the title wrong is kind of making the point with regards to Rising. It's not Metal Gear Solid Rising, it's Metal Gear Rising. It's not a MGS game, it's a Platinum developed title set in the Metal Gear world. If you go in expecting a MGS style game then it's obviously not going to be what you wanted. Â If you played and enjoyed the earlier Devil May Cry games, or Bayonetta then you'll get some enjoyment out of the game. Unless you're a die-hard fan of Bayonetta AND the MGS series it's probably best to rent it first regardless (as you should with any title you aren't sure about). Â As for TripleA's MGS fan mate moaning that the game's only 2 hours long if you take the cutscenes out; that's the most faithful tie to the MGS series that the game has got.

Paid Members Tommy! Posted March 18, 2013 Paid Members Share Posted March 18, 2013 I'm still poncing about in skyrim. Given the vast number of hours I'm pushing on it, and oblivion got an hour tops before I fucked it off, is a pleasant surprise. Â I also downloaded a couple of things from the PSN. Tony Hawk and Tokyo Jungle. Â Tokyo Jungle is underwhelming and not as much fun as I was hoping it would be. I regret buying it. Â Hawk is great. It's just a mash together of 1 and 2 but, with the exception of underground 1, they were the best of the series by a good stretch. It's amazing to play now, just great fun to pick up and play for a couple of hours and try and get an achievement or two, and I actually want to try and do them all which is something I normally never bother with. Would a game which limits you to 2 minutes of play time getting much look in for a big mainstream release? Â I do have some game based questions in search of an informed opinion. Â Some one mentioned Civ 5. Is there a way to get Civ 2 to work on windows 7. I've tried others but Civ 2 is my favourite of them all. The same thing applies to Theme Hospital. Â I've never really played any of the MGS games, is the 3 game HD set worth picking up? Would I enjoy them given I'm very fickle and a story needs to really grab me and I have little finesse. Is MGS 1 best to try or has it aged badly. Â I never played tomb raider, how has that aged to pick the first up off PSN? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The King Of Swing Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 Metal Gear Rising is a decent enough action game from what I have played, it's certainly less annoying than MGS4 anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members CleetusVanDamme Posted March 18, 2013 Paid Members Share Posted March 18, 2013 (edited) I think you'd be lost trying to jump on MGS with the HD collection, Tommy. The original game looks terrible now, but is still a must-play, not just because it's a classic (the story will definitely grab you), but also it's pretty essential if you want to understand what's going on in the sequels/prequels. It's cheap enough now that it'd definitely be worth trying out first, then see if you want to go on from there.

Â The first one is going to be really hard to play now though if you're used to modern games. Better to watch the major plotpoints on youtube.

Merzbow Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 Or buy (pirate as it's rare) the remake Twin Snakes, plays pretty much just like MGS 2. It plays flawlessly on a modded Wii if you own a Gamecube pad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
