I love games, no matter what. I would never call myself "hardcore", because that term is pretty much used by people who actually play games to describe idiots who buy every Call of Duty game.

I don't take offense. Just yet another thing that never comes across about my actual personality over the forums. I love Horstachios.

You are right. It was the atmosphere that made Bioshock special. Something Bioshock 2 still had, albeit not as clever of a story. I can totally see why you would strongly prefer the first, but the statement "never should have been made", doesn't fit with me. It was still a damn fine game. If it wasn't compared to the first, it would be better off. I know that's sort of an ironic statement, considering its a sequel, but I think it's true.

Bioshock was a huge deal when it came out, it was impossible for Bioshock 2 to come out and not be compared to it. We didn't need to return to Rapture, the direction they're going in Bioshock Infinite is what we should have gotten after the first game. All a direct sequel to Bioshock did was make the first game feel less special. They should have left Rapture alone and moved on. Unfortunately that's not how publishers see it, but it was it the way the original dev team felt.

Also it was like 3 hours long.

And it sucked.

I agree. I felt the original Bioshock ended quite well and left me feeling like there was no need to go back. So naturally I'm worried that the second one will suck because ...what could there possibly be left to do in Rapture?

You are thinking of Minerva's den. What a sweet three hours. Especially for dlc

Peanut, all good points, especially with Bioshock Infinite. Still, to me, Bioshock 2 was still a fantastic worthwhile experience. Bioshock Infinite is destined to be great. Everyone should have an eye on that one. Better yet, don't. The more surprises, the better.

I was just kinda bugged, but it's all good, homie.

No. I'm talking about the sh*tty disc game that ended after I played for 3 hours. I wouldn't spend extra money to extend that.

Don't drag out my clever response! I was proud of that

But...great games are great games no matter your age or gender.

Viva Pinata is probably the most hardcore game I've ever played, simply because you cannot turn that game off. I once played it for a whole day because every five minutes I said to myself, "just one more mating, and lemme put this thing here..."

Peanut · 05-06-2011, 12:47 PM

You're always about to turn it off when you get a new Pinata showing up, or a new Sour, or a new plant, or you figure out requirements to a specific Pinata mating or joining your garden, or you figure out how to create flying Rashberry's. Something is always going on.

*Storm Wolf* · 05-07-2011, 04:15 PM

Sounds good. I can't wait to pop it in and try again. This time I will give it a real chance. Now I just have to get my hands on some Pokemon games... I'm seriously behind in thoes.

SOCOM 4, which will never be a disappointment in my books. Great game, can't wait to give online a try.

Peanut · 05-09-2011, 12:11 AM

Shooters are the new mascot platformer.

Very true, but also I am just an FPS whore from time to time.

The online is awesome man. ( before the outage anyway )

i played the beta for a while then the day the game came out i played for a few hours , the new maps take some getting used to but they're well done & the online game modes are pretty cool. Bomb Squad & Uplink are imo the funnest

Good to know, maybe a game that will finally peel me away from the garbage that is Black Ops.

if you're a socom fan , it will.

Black ops is just too fast paced & i hate respawn. Also i don't like how i feel " horse collar'd " on Black Ops , you can't see anything to your left or right really.

Socom 4 has adopted a lot of things from COD though , leveling up your weapons / character , no gernade arc , 2 primary weapons instead of a primary and a pistol , ect.

I love Black Ops as a game, I enjoy how it runs. I feel the guns have a great balance across the board. It is a great game but it is just a complete fail when it comes to Matchmaking. It can't find the correct host at times, then you end up switching hosts 5 times during a match. I would still pick MW2 over Black Ops but I like the changes they have made.

~~AquaParade~~ · 05-14-2011, 12:28 PM

Portal 2.

Nothing but good things to say...Could have used less loading, but seriously, this game is fantastic.

Kinda worried about who I'm gonna play the co op with, seeing as none of my friends have it.

Anyone know a good playstation 3 microphone/headset?
