Aren't you in residency now? Do you still have time for games? Give me some hope for next year! Last year when I was on medicine I actually played call of duty with one of my attendings a few times. I killed his rear end and then he gave me honors :c00l:

Just started M2 and I have given up any hope of fully enjoying Uncharted 3 :(

Apparently you can.

If anyone tells you to buy The Fight: Lights Out because it's on sale for $10, practice your moves in real life and punch them in the face. That game is awful.

I loved the series, but I tried to go back to it a few weeks ago and couldn't get into it. Also, skipping MGS 2 and 3 is a bad idea. Especially 3.

Buy the Uncharted double pack. If you liked MGS back in the day then you should give the HD collection a shot.

Just because a game has DLC doesn't mean you have to buy it. If you want the core game, buy the core game.

Nowadays devs are stripping content from the core game and selling it separately as DLC or a store-specific bonus.

SotC glitched and wouldn't let me pick up a lizard tail. The controls and camera are even wonkier than I remembered, but the game is undeniably charming and the landscape is enchanting.

...until you get to number 13. The first time you see that thing come out of the ground is a serious OH gently caress kind of moment.

5 is a wild beast while 13 is more sedated, if I recall correctly. 5 does everything it can to gently caress you up and shake you off. But the coolest thing I've seen, and ne thing I never managed to do, was getting catapulted from 3's sword onto his head. I saw that on youtube and :aaa:.

Speaking of DLC, I'd spend as much as some of you waste on a CoD map pack for the colossi that didn't make it into the game the first time. It's disappointing that there is a big chunk of the east/right side of the map left unexplored.

This is completely normal if you've never played the game before. You aren't Kratos taking on the Titans; you are some random, determined guy taking on wild giants.

Child of Eden is weird, skip RE5, play LBP1, and if you must play Killzone 3, don't spend more than $20 on it.

Great recommendation. No, there is a lot to enjoy in RE5 and it's safe to say that if RE4 is your favorite game, RE5 is definitely worth playing.

Like almost anyone who has played it, RE4 is one of my favorite games. RE5 was so bad that it made me like RE4 less.

One thing I wished I had known was that you're meant to takes the levels in level order, not continuing the same level unless you're really up to it (So do 1-1, 2-1, 3-1, etc, not 1-1, 1-2, etc.)

I don't think so. You can't get to 1-3 before finishing another world.
