Not sure about anyone else here, but I'm hooked on the Forza 4 demo that was released this past Monday. I knew I'd be going insane over the overlay and attention to detail and sure enough, it was indeed a treat beyond compare. Only problems is.... it's JUST ONE TRACK!!!! Three cars to play around with tho.... but one??? AND you can't even look inside the car with this demo! WtF!!!! GRRR!!! I wanted to pop open the Ferrari most of all. The other two cars are no where near as impressive. But zipping around turns in the snowy alpine map is more than enough to keep me brushing up on my driving skills tilll Tuesday when it's actually released. Question is, anyone else getting this? Or am I like the only chick on here that drools at a perfectly tuned machine?.... lol I have a feeling I already know the answer to that >. > Moving on.... Speaking of demo's, The Sims 3 recently released their "Create A Pet" demo. It's pretty bland. Can't do anything but mess with coat colors and adjust the muscle/facial masks of various cats/ dogs / and horses. I of course jumped right in to see what all the CAS horses looked like and soon came up with a spiffy image of my all time favorite horse from Red Dead Redemption, and hence the horses name, was named Redemption. (it's the fastest horse in the game. American Saddler I believe?) But yeah... I thought about making the 4 horses from Undead Nightmare. How freakin' cool would it be to have War prancing around everywhere setting the entire Sims world on FIRE!!! HELL YEAH!!! **coughs** but uh... maybe not >. > The only other demo I slightly even looked at recently was Battlefield. I must say it's pretty.... but that's about it. I'm so use to COD giving you pointers as to who and who isn't your team mates that I just couldn't deal. Maybe some of you can, but me? Nope. And I seriously do not even like COD but if I had to choose COD over BF? Then yes, that's a no brainer. I now understand that one kids gamer tag that was playing the demo when I attempted it, COD is4Dummies But yeah.... about time some of these games came out. I always shell out a ton of money around this time of year on them but honestly, I think the lot of them are worth it. Any clue about the whole Fable EP? I remember them saying how amazing it is that if you had kinnect or some junk about driving a wagon.... idk, I don't get it. Those games I go through way to quickly anyways. But I'm sure I'll want something different after flip flopping from Forza 4 to The Sims 3 Pets.... or not. I'm sure that I'll be content with just those two at least past December. Maybe then the newness will wear offf.... maybe Anyways, shutting up. I just figured I'd share all of that with everyone... why, I have no idea. I guess to see if anyone here has something to add. Any demo's out that you guys think are pretty sweet? Or games coming out for that matter. I'm sure Seph will have quite a list because he's just about the only other one on here I think is as much of a fan of games as I am. Well that, and is as passionate about them

I'll be honest, BF3 took some getting used to, but I adapted quickly enough. Its less arcade than CoD, but not quite as strategic as RO or ArmA, but still quite satisfying, and I'll leave it at that. As for something to add, I'm sure you'll get a kick out of this: Dead or Alive 5 Exclusive TGS Full Gameplay Trailer HD

Needs more tits. And more random birds coming out of nowhere hitting Ryu so he falls to his death.

I can say one thing, I hope Ryu is able to kick Hayate’s ass from here to kingdom come -.- Which is sad, but I blame Monty’s DF for my new hate (haha) Great series, but ever since Ein KO’d Tifa, I just I dunno… kinda like my distaste for Hitome but I hated her long before I even knew about DF so I suppose I couldn’t really place the blame there at all. The chipper lil upbeat personality totally clashes with mine. I guess that’s why I like taking control of Christie or Ayanne. At least with those two, if you are in control of their character, you know what you’re gonna get. With Hitome or Lei Fang? Psh… annoying giggling bouncy airheads -.- Oh, they can fight. I’m not saying they can’t because I’ve been knocked on my ass quite a bit from each of them. Just no….and I seriously hope Monty has plans to really stick it to both Hitome AND Ein’s characters. If Tifa can’t, possibly a combination of both Cloud and Vincent (yay Vinny) anyways… Oh! I remember the game I really wanted to try and I wasn’t sure if anyone here has or wanted to play as well, and it’s Dead Island I think? Not sure if I’d like it since I’m the dorky girl that has a phobia of fast zombies (seriously, 28 Days and Weeks Later? -shivers- ) lol so I’m sure I’d be squealing and squinting my eyes if I knew a pack of them were about to ambush me. Haha, I know I was in Red Dead’s Undead Nightmare and I swear I did NOT want to leave the safety of Fort Mercer (spelling?) I stood at the far end of the wall and sniped I think over 100 zombies. And when I’d run out of ammo, I’d hop on War as fast as I could and book it to the closest town to stock up on ammo, go back, shoot some more. Needless to say that actually got rather boring till I realized there were zombie cows on the map. Then I went after them. Anyway… 4 days (squee!!) 4 more days and Forza will be out -snoopy dances throwing confetti everywhere- Then what is it…. 11 days till Sims Pets?? Oh yes, I am a happy lil gamer girl for certain =) back to back releases. Gotta love it <3 P.S. - Before I forget I need to start collecting addy's again. I've managed to secure a small sum of money (and NO, it wasn't illegal *cough*) and I wanted to send Christmas gifts out again this year. I hate that I've missed out the last couple of years =( but I do know I got a kick out of everyone's reations that i sent Cheerwine to ^_^ But yeah, I guess I need to focus on the current holiday coming up and not the one two more away. Still, I try and at least plan ahead. Especially since some of you live pretty far away

Yeah, the back to back releases are kinda killing me this year. October has Ace Combat Assault Horizon, Batman: Arkham City and Battlefield 3, November has Halo Anniversary, Modern Warfare 3, Metal Gear Solid HD Collection, Assassin's Creed Revelations and Uncharted 3, and December has Star Wars: The Old Republic. Due to time and budget constraints I probably won't be grabbing all of them on release (4 of the November titles come on ON THE SAME DAY), but even so, its kinda crazy. That, and by the time I get to finish them all there will be other big releases on the horizon, like the PSVita, Mass Effect 3, and Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City.

Dead Island is fucking annoying. Me and a buddy of mine played it for about 8 hours straight when it first came out and just made fun of all the characters in it because they all send you on a bunch of fetch quests. Your weapons also break way too quickly but maybe we weren't playing it right. I dunno....the blood is pretty though.
The only game I'm looking forward to is Sonic Generations. Everything else looks gay as fuck.

Oh I hate games like that….
Play for hours on end just to find out it’s not really all it’s cracked up to be. I did that with the FB version of TSS. After I figured out, hey? It’s not ever going to amount to TSO, why am I even logging in to play this shit? Course it took me a lot longer than 8 hours to realize it tho, haha. But thanks for saying that Reno.
Something else, I called gamestop here in Kannapolis to ask how much a USED copy was of DI, and they were like “Oh, it’s 54.99” But isn’t the new one just 5 dollars more? I asked, and they really couldn’t argue that the price was a true rip off. I mean, what is the freaking point to even selling used games when all you’re saving is the tax value pretty much? I don’t get it but whatever GS, whatever -.-

That's why I'm glad I don't find many newer games appealing. I remember I was talking to the gamestop employees about Dead Island the day after it came out and we all started rapping the "Who do you voodoo, bitch?!" song....well actually it was mainly me because I know all the words. I wish some little kids were in the store so I could've said that shit right in their face. Haha.

That would have made for a great YT moment. So what were they doing? Mumbling parts of the song? Either way, I bet that was something to see.
Finally got to pop open the hood on some of the cars I've been waiting a few days to see. Man those things are amazing looking. The attention to detail it just... wow. And me being me, I wasn't looking infront of me going 185mph, I was taking it all in, going around a turn watching all the other cars and boom! Ray of light bounces off one of the cars rearview mirrors, blinds me and I go and get a grill full of tires off the side of the track. Haha, oh well still a fun game ^.^ The car club feature is also fun. But the shit thing about that is, you can only be in one. So if you start one and a friend starts one, you either have to leave yours, or they leave theirs and yeah.... oh well anyways
So the Grim Reaper is going to have his personal horse I hear. (TS3P) That, and the elusive unicorn has me watching all sorts of videos. Figures, the only way to get a ghostbuster cat is if you get the console version but i'm not that damn rich =p I've yet to fully pay for TS3P's as is and it's coming out Tue >.< (along with the console version as well) Freakin' EA.... I want both but the pc is just more my playing style.
Blagh....
Ooh!! Mass Effect 3!! When does come out again? March? That's gonna be interesting since Shepard has pretty much screwed around Ashley, Jack, and Miranda (lol) and even tho you'd have the opt to mess with Tali, I didn't because I didn't want to infect her >. > Geeze, I wouldn't put it past them to add even more people into this strange storyline (although it's totally optional, I know) haha, but if it's there, then yeah, I'm gonna explore it go figure

Post by Sephiroth on Oct 14, 2011 13:45:56 GMT -5
Yup Mass Effect 3 will be out in March. Except that on my latest save I had Ashley killed off, chose Liara as my interest, rehooked up with her in ME2 in the Lair of the Shadow Broker DLC, and then had a fling with Tali, so that'll make for an interesting follow up scenario in ME3. That said, the recently announced ME3 multiplayer is gonna be pretty awesome, can't wait for that.
and yes, lol @ Phoenix Wright. he's got alot of lol attacks and hilarious Hypers. Although most of the new characters look pretty interesting. Its gonna be hard to pick a new team in UMvC3, but I'm pretty excited for the possibilities. Maybe its time for me to return to my old Strider/Doom/Sentinel team, perhaps with some interesting backup teams like Ghost Rider/Vergil/Nemesis or a super-heavy team like Nemesis/Haggar/Sentinel or something along those lines. Interesting stuff on the horizon.

Weird, I just checked the Dr.Pepper rewards thingie and it's already got things up for Battlefield. Why would anyone want to waste a bottlecap on headgear for your avatar? It's not even an in-game object! But free is free I suppose....
Oh and I really want ME 3 now. Forza has been fun, and TS3 Pets is super but with everything else that has went wrong, it's shortened the newness to another level. So I'm stuck once more looking around trying to find something new and entertaining to play. I should also mention that I was in awe of the graphics to GTA 5's trailer they recently released in the dashboard. Not sure if PS owners also go the same ad or not (i'm sure they did or something similiar)
Anyways, I'm gonna start up a new world I've recently created in my S3P's. Haven't really taken any screenshots.... I miss doing that for Hojo =/ That might give me something to do later although they are not Final Fantasy Sims, so it would probably bore everyone here to tears >.>

I've got my ME3 preordered already. Digital Deluxe Edition, even. And I've bought MW3, Halo CEA, UMvC3, MGS HD Collection, and a few others. And with the stuff yet to come...its gonna be a good Christmas (hopefully).

I didn't even realize that my gold sub is used up. Gah... so now I am wondering if I should break down and go ahead and push for a kinect this year or not seeing that they are now offering a 3 month free sub along with the bundle. Hmm.... you guys think it's worth it? I wasn't ever really sold on the kinect idea when it first came out anyways. I just wanted the one game simply because I could play around with a tiger cub. But I didn't think wasting that much money for one game I would possibly play for a couple weeks and get sick of was enough reason to invest.
But oh well....
Less than a week now and my family (or lack there of) is busy trying to figure out just what the hell we are doing for Thanksgiving. I still don't know. But for whatever happens, I'm sure we will eventually have it worked out. Hope you guys are gonna have fun. Eat well and watch football eh? Who is playing that day anyways....?
Haha, i'm so random this morning >.< And with that, I believe I am gonna go and play with Death.
