I am way, way down for some Perfect Dark sometime, (directed towards basucally anyone). GT is codename FANGIO. I also wouldn't mind some DOOM, DOOM2, or Duke Nukem 3D, I have a problem with downloading my fps childhood. Oh, and the co op in Far Cry 3, I need those final sweet achievement points.

I need Xbox friends basically :(

That list of indies was also sorely lacking Super Amazing Wagon Adventure.

I was just about to post this. I can not recommend Super Amazing Wagon Adventure enough. It's a roguelike-alike (mostly) sidescrolling shooter inspired by Oregon Trail (seriously). It has an amazing soundtrack, there are tons of unlockables, the replay value is nearly infinite and it costs a dollar. The situations it will shove you into are hilarious. You do yourself a disservice by not playing this game.

Right stick use to keep on the person, left stick keep over your gun. You can draw early but lose xp, otherwise wait for them to make a move. You can sway left and right with the left stick after drawing, and in the later duels you will have to do this and dodge the first and maybe second shot.

raditts posted:

Adjust your sight (left stick) to keep it on your opponent's face to increase your accuracy and keep your hand hovered over your shootin' piece (right stick) to increase your draw speed. When you see the other guy go for his gun, pull yours as quick as you can and then you aim with right stick and dodge with left stick.

Or you can just shoot the fucker right off before he even has a chance at drawing. They may call you a "coward" but they won't be calling you dead.

Thanks, I think it was dodging with the left stick that was loving me up? I guess we'll see.

Don't skip over the Conan game. It's manly burly fun that will put hair on your chest. Much more fun than it has a right to be. Final level sucks balls, but it's a joyously unshaven two-fisted camel-punching testosterone fueled B-movie romp.

Haha, yeah, basically this. It's kind of A Bad Game but it's so hilariously, satisfyingly manly with topless chicks and brutal murder with a ton of huge weapons. It's like I am the protagonist of a Manowar song. It helps that I bought it for under $3, too. :v:

Do they mean British? Like, they American-ized the game but made the original version free DLC or something?

There's a UK flag in the item description, so I'm pretty sure you're right. I wasn't aware the developers were British, but that makes sense. I may actually use that pack if that's the case, I'm infatuated with superfluous u's.

What are the various issues? I'm loving it, played it on GC, Wii, and then 360, and I haven't noticed any problems. I'm even getting used to the controls which, frankly, were absolutely perfect on the Wii.

You can set it to aim with the left trigger and fire with the right, like 5 and 6. Do this if it's not too late for your brain to adjust.

Other than that (which honestly isn't really a problem), it's a fine port. If I recall correctly they didn't bother to upscale any of the videos in the extra content, so Ada's cutscenes are in 480p. Otherwise it's a pretty straightforward port that no one should be paying $20 for in the year 2014.

Yeah, that fight was where I got sick of the game. A couple of the moves were super inconsistent on him for me, and I got sick of trying and got sick of the crowded-feeling world and never went back.

Now, I can't confirm this because I spammed the grapnel pull and punched him in the mouth until he asked what I was, but apparently the idea is that he's supposed to teach you about the new martial arts enemies, so time slows down when he's doing the specific motions that need to be countered. But, like I said, I used the grapnel pull because I didn't figure out that wasn't what you were supposed to do. It seemed to be the most effective thing, wtf game. :( I wish I wanted to go back and do New Game+. I decided I'd rather go back and 100% all the medal challenges from City instead, because that game rules. So do that instead of playing Origins.

I bought Injustice and the season pass, but I can't access any of the season pass content. It unlocks Lobo, Batgirl, Scorpion and Zod, but all those characters are grayed out in character select in all modes and I can't select them. In the DLC menu, all these characters and the season pass have a checkmark next them, indicating that I have downloaded them.

I can't find anything online describing this issue. Anybody else run into this?

You have to download all the season pass content specifically from the in-game store. It should be showing up as costing 0 points. (Yes the menu still seems to use points.) Anyway just grab everything in that menu that says it's free and you'll be good.

I always play games about 2 years behind everyone else so I just got Far Cry 3 and it is the best open-world game I've ever played. I've played as far as opening up the second island and, unlike almost any other OW shooter, there's almost nothing I dislike. The traversal is first class, the guns feel weighty, the AI is about as good as it gets and the way it all comes together with the wildlife/various random encounters is hilarious. Best of all, the driving model is actually fun. Now that I've upgraded everything possible I'm on john rambo's vacation and I don't give a gently caress about the kooky drug sequences/story because I am actually a killing machine and I can identify with feeling at home in the jungle.

I bought it for peanuts so you probably can too.

When you have hit that sweet 100% be sure to get Blood Dragon and have your life forever altered for the better. It alters the mechanics just enough to make you feel like the loving Terminator and there are robots and nuclear explosions all the time and giant laser dinosaurs and just holy loving poo poo.

Counterpoint, Blood Dragon is a purple washed self smug pile of fourth wall breaking and pop culture referential garbage. It is the Family Guy , except nothing but Peter laughing at the player. That includes the tutorial.

Okay well it's fun to stalk and kill robots and their heads pop like they're filled with neon paint when you shoot them and you can jump like thirty feet into the air and land on a guy to do a Death From Above kill so I guess if you're not an oddly hostile video game forum guy then you will enjoy it and maybe occasionally boot it up to shoot some robots every once in a while after you beat it. :shrug:
