What are you playing?

yeah, I really liked the game until it started being all like "HEY I'M ANOTHER CHARACTER FROM THE COMICS STOP THE SINGLE PLAYER MISSION AND LET'S HANG OUT".

Azrael showing up is akin to Poochie showing up and wanting to hang.

The villain work was used well within the context of the game environment. However, the layout of objectives is a little ridiculous given that it's a fixed area yet everything seems like it's stored up someone's ass.

Don't even get me started on those Riddler trophies that I'm trying to hunt down. That being said, it's a well-made game. A drastic improvement over the first. But, it's not fun to spend an hour looking for a way into the GCPD station to fight Mr. Freeze.

It's also not fun having to down a political prisoner that's hiding between two cardboard boxes near an alley, but not in an alley. But, stored somewhere behind a train that's near a building in a hole in the log at the bottom of the sea.

Jeez, so I guess I should have bought the blade counter takedown upgrade before heading into Wonder City, eh? Fuckin' ninjas, mang.

Also, I can't do the dive bomb flying thing to save my life.

Resistance 3

Not only is it by far the best controlling FPS on PS3 it might be one of the best controlling FPS I've ever played. Really liking it so far, definitely snag it.

[gravedigger]

Interesting. I was going to avoid it because Resistance 2 was completely forgettable. It'll be nice to make my PS3 something other than an Uncharted/Netflix box.

[BillyG]

Beat Resistance 3. Definitely my favorite PS3 FPS, but it had some weird pacing issues. It felt like I went from Oklahoma to St. Louis to NYC and I only knew about one tiny leg of that trip. Also, a few REALLY shitty bugs. A couple of times the door you needed to go through wouldn't trigger, or once a boss just stopped fucking taking damage. Seriously? What is that shit? Also, it doesn't always give you a compass, so there were a few times I ran around looking for where to go next, or what door I can bust through, or panel I can open, but those things aren't highlighted for some reason, but weapons and ammo glow in the dark. Weird, but I liked it a whole lot. I think the upgrading weapons mechanic is AWESOME but kind of sucks that you have no reason to do a new game plus to play with them more.

So, that Batman vs Skyrim debate?

Batman is 30$.

Bought it. Skyrim is next though. I'll finish Red Dead Redemption first, as it's kinda the same open-ended game as Skyrim. Then, I'll assfuck dragons.

[BillyG]

Both open world, but "kinda" is being generous as far as type of game. I love RDR to little bitty pieces, but Skyrim is on some next world type shit. I'm getting deep enough to see more of the randomly generated quests and it is incredible.

wow. I fucking hated the first and second one and by all accounts the third one is the worst in the series. May have to check this out once it hits 20 bucks.

I know, and I know Skyrim is awesome, but both games are, and I felt the need to smash faces and it was 30$.

I'll get Skyrim on rebate...

Never played the first two, but I read a lot of people saying it fixed a ton of shit from part two. I dug it, fun game, and for $20 you can do a whole hell of a lot worse.

Castlevania: Lords of Shadow is on sale at Amazon. Tempted to buy it, but I want to pick up some junk games at Gamestop this weekend.

The wife is slowly becoming a gamer and I want to find more shit on her level/interest area.

[Abraham Smashington]

That Castlevania game is the goods man.

[Anderson]

That Castlevania game is the goods man.

I heard as much, but I'm liking not playing so many games recently. I've been getting a fuckton of work done.

Also, she's usually hogging it to play Disney Universe.

[Martin]

Arkham City is super fun. Josh was right. I like how they took the best from the animated series, having Paul Dini and Hamill and Conroy, and putting some Zimmer-influenced music. Neat.
