Whatcha Been Playin': Black Friday 2010 Edition
- Thread starter stupei

Finished Vanquish and Enslaved recently, so I was thinking about completing Fable III, but I realised I hadn't completed Fable II. I started the game and I'm struggling to get through it, it's just some of the game mechanics are annoying.
Other than that, Fallout: New Vegas of course, I've put 120 hours in

For some reason, I have been playing Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time. Not the collection, just the Xbox version through backwards compat.
Reminding me how brilliant this series is, and how much I love the simple joys of platforming, navigating a room and solving spatial puzzles. I love this shit - Tomb Raider is another brilliant example. Could do with less fighting though, there are just too many dudes per encounter, gets really tiring.
I even have the movie to watch this afternoon on BR. Should be a nice tie-in

Been playing a bit of Shadow of Destiny/Memories. I've had the game forever, but I've yet to see all the endings so I decided to give it another whirl:

360:
Wii:
- Super Meat Boy - such an amazing game, I'm at the last world before the boss and planning to beat the shit out of him today and start the Dark Worlds.
- Vanquish - At the end of Act 4 in
...GOTY contender IMO.the no-gravity Unknown fight
- Deadly Premonition - I'll probably start the game this weekend, from the little I've played I really liked what I saw.
Wii:
- Goldeneye 007 - I expected a shitty game and I got a really really fun game, loving this so far - btw the controls with a classic controller are so much better.

Played through Heavy Rain and am surprised by how much of a game it is. There's such a finely tuned ramping up of challenge, while gradually introducting new little interactions. It's cool. I'm not sure I want to play it again. The story I got out of it just rolling with it was already quite satisfying.
Started Enslaved, shook my head for a while, waiting for it to become tolerable. Finally gave up on Wednesday when I hit the robo dog boss fight. Fuck this game. Not worth playing.
Did Vanquish in poop-sock mode, two sittings and I was through. So good. Now I want to do it again on God Hard. I like what they did with the weapon upgrading system, really rewards you for sticking it out with weapons you want to use.
Played another act of Bayonetta. Still great. Everyone knows this, right?

im gonna start the witcher today. actually, right now
Juggling a bit too many games at the moment:
1. Gran Turismo 5 (have only managed a couple of hours since Wednesday)
2. Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit (the perfect complement to GT5)
3. Vanquish (finished it earlier today, amazing game)
4. Fallout: New Vegas (have spent ~55 hours so far in the game, and I still have to finish it! Too bad some bugs are bugging me, no pun intended)
5. Castlevania: Lords of Shadow (since I don't find the game very captivating, it's on the backburner for now)

Mostly Black Ops, but not nearly as interested in it as I was MW2 a year ago.
December 7th is coming soon - I really don't want to resub to WoW but I have the collector's edition on preorder from Amazon.

I need to play that and it's sequel(s) soon, too. It's been far too long.
Just finished up The Witcher after buying the download for 6 bucks at Amazon last week. Just as good as everyone says it is. And funnier than I thought it would be - that bit where
Combat was not very good though. I hope the second game improves on that aspect quite a bit.
I'm seriously considering picking up Witcher 2 CE's with the stupid bust (not because I want the bust, but I love the "decision" artwork in the first game and I'm hoping the artbook for the 2nd game is filled with the same sorts of images). But oof, expensive.
Geralt and the King are haggling about the price of killing the last Big Bad and Geralt says "I'm a witcher, not a hit...OK 10,000" :lol

Picked up Brawl for the smashstack thing, ended up loving it. Also got the new Donkey Kong, it's great.
World of Warcraft - Patch 4.0.3a
Loving every single change that has come with The Shattering, and my new dwarf shaman is all sorts of awesome
Dec. 7th can't come fast enough.
This will be my whole weekend, essentially.
Also beginning my third playthrough of Red Dead Redemption, this time with the mini-map and aim-assist turned off, trying to play through it on an authentic level of difficulty.

All on PS3.
Gran Turismo 5 - Just starting out, getting my first B license. Love the game but the install/loading is insane.
NBA 2K11 - Playing my association with the Spurs. Currently 7-2, love the challenge of the game without feeling (too) cheap.
Pac-Man Championship Edition DX - Have only gotten to play it a few times but love it, just like I did Geometry Wars 2. Great fun.
Batman: Arkham Asylum - Just about to unwrap and start. Got it recently for $14.99.

Heavy Rain- Kicking myself for not playing this sooner. Things are getting pretty crazy in the story and things it has me doing. So many moments where I am saying, "Damn. I have never done that in a game before!"
Metal Gear: Peace Walker- After about ten or so missions I have finally started to enjoy this game more. Mostly because I figured out which controller scheme I want to use, and understanding the basics of the controls as well.
Metal Gear 4- Been a while since I played through it. Still as great as I remember it. I never listened to all podcasts that you listen to while playing the game so I should make that as one of my goals.
I picked up GT5 but I am having a hard time getting into it. Not my type of game I guess. Will probably trade it towards Golden Sun, or Mario Galaxy 2 (which I have yet to play).
