The matchmaking is decent and there are a lot of different game modes. That's what I like, anyway.

If some of you aren't absolute fans of the game but just enjoy collectively stomping on kids' heads why not just play something co op like Killing Floor?

Because TFR's Blops crew all play on 360, where pretty much all co op modes top off at 4 players, I'm guessing. And pissing off kids is always a good time.

nah, copies blackness. Had to make the game windowed and then alt-printscreen, then put it in paint and save it as a jpg. thus, it looks like rear end.

Aleksei Vasiliev posted:

hahaha no. the best part is when you check graphics options you get, like, FULLSCREEN Y/N, VSYNC Y/N, BRIGHTNESS, and then SYSTEM SPEC. System Spec has three options. GAMER, ADVANCED, HARDCORE

What do they mean? Who the gently caress knows.



Someone made an external tweaking app that gives you access to the real graphics options though.

Havent yet, but I got a little excited when the multiplayer teaser video came out a month(?) ago? Anytime I get even vaaaaaguely interested in a game/mode/map pack it is absolute poo poo (Homefront) or it takes ages to come out beyond when I would care enough (CODBLOPS map pack) or something like that, though, so I guess it remains to be seen?

Meh, whatever.




Also I'm not sure its fair to call it "simplified Halo." Literally nothing is simpler than Halo.

I doubt it has the myriad number of customizable map options that Halo had on offer. That's what I was getting it.

I'm guessing this has TDM, Domination, and maybe a "smear the queer" mode where only one player has suit powers, and everyone wants him dead.

I should actually fire it up and see for myself at some point. But right now I'm choking out aliens, and kicking cars into tanks, so facts can wait.

I been puttin in work in Dead Rising 2 as of late and have ammassed around 18mil cash to blow on nothing. Additionally, I have a save game with three copies of each of the three gambling books so if you have a little time and want to get enough cash for all the vehicles, arthur's boots and the combo card you should probably hit me up on XBL. If you just want me to buy the vehicles I'm down for that too.

Instructions for unique item duplication:

As the host, find item.
Save your game with the item.
Join someone else's game as a client.
Drop item, they pick it up.
Quit and don't bother saving.
Load game with item in single player.
Join game as client loading save with item.
Repeat.

Apparently the books increase odds of winning by a percentage, because with 12 books in hand between two people, we made 5mil cash at the big slot machine in a matter of 6 game hours. I still want to see what 24 books can do.

If you accept a game invite from the main menu, your inv is empty. If you are in game when you accept the invite your inv comes with you. Basically if you keep that in mind you can completely break the game.

I haven't delved too deep into the MP aspect since the game is half-broken on PC right now (SP: hey, let's reset all those suit upgrade points you were saving for a neat expensive power every time you reload your game! MP: haha you didn't really want to play on ranked servers) but from what I can tell there's actually a fair amount of variety to the game modes. I have, however, only seen maybe 3 maps total so far. It's fun when it works, though!

loving Deathclaws. I managed to clear most of them out, but they seem a lot tougher in Fallout NV than in Fallout 3. Maybe my level is too low to take them on (mid teens with 50 skill points in guns). I did manage to kill the Alpha and mother deathclaw by plinking at them with the Ratslayer, it just took a long time.

Probably because the Ratslayer is very much not up to the task of taking out a deathclaw. I'm not even sure you can punch through its DT with that thing. Come back when you have something in .308 or .45-70.

I did manage to kill the Alpha and Mother Deathclaws with the Ratslayer, it just took a long time and a lot of ammunition. I used up all of my armour piercing 5.56 on the mother and only got her health to 50%, then finished her with .223 and bulk 5.56. The Alpha took a lot of 5.56 rounds before he went down. Because I was hidden, every shot was a sneak attack, so maybe that helped. Plus the sneak critical bonus and not being chased because they couldn't see me.

American planes, full of holes and wounded men, took off backwards from an airfield in England. Over France, a few German fighter planes flew at them backwards, sucked bullets and shell fragments from some of the planes and crewmen. They did the same for wrecked American bombers on the ground.

Yeah, you're WAY under-gunned and probably way under-level to boot.

Big hint: you're not supposed to go north when you leave Goodsprings. It's possible, but they very consciously threw some mean as poo poo stuff on that road to get you to circle around S, E, then N.
