I may, but not right away. I will likely replay the demo and see if I still feel the same about it, but having just Nolan North in it alone raises my excitement. The man is a legend. :D

Yes, he is. I had no idea he was in the game, and right as the demo started up and I heard him, I got excited.

I, too, liked it, but not knowing how the multiplayer will pan out, along with the rumors that the SP is only 5 hours long - terrible waste, in my opinion - I'll give it a wait. Should be on Amazon or something for about $30 in the coming weeks, and I have way too many games to tackle as of now.

I don't think you realize, but NOLAN NORTH IS IN EVVVVVVVVVVVERYTHING.

I hope those rumors about the game are wrong. 5 hours? Why? Is the source that reported that reliable?

@0BradyM0Bondfanatic7, ehh, a few people on a comment board for the game's announcement stated that. I find it hard to believe, but who knows. I was invited into the multiplayer beta about a year and a half ago or so, and it was real fun.

I had lost track of it and it fell off the grid, so I missed the beta and everything. Hopefully for such a long development cycle it is at least 10 to 12 hours, but you know games nowadays.

@0BradyM0Bondfanatic7, it seems that these games that get delayed for a long time, or fall off the grid for a few years, end up being short and bad. Granted, there are exceptions, such as 'Alan Wake,' which went from being an open world game to a linear story-driven game, and 'GTA IV' - my favorite game of all time - which will hopefully be rivaled shortly by GTA V.

thelivingroyale

I actually prefer Red Dead to GTA IV. I thought it was much more fun and entertaining. GTA IV wasn't as good as some of the other GTA games imo.

My GTA ranking (out of the GTA games I've played).

1. Vice City.
2. San Andreas.
3. GTA 3.
4. GTA IV.
5. GTA 2.
6. GTA chinatown wars.
7. GTA.

But my favourite game of all time is Assassin's Creed 2.

GTAIV has a special place in my heart too. All I wanted to do was play it, spending hours watching gameplay and reading about it in gaming magazines, and when I got my PS3 it was my first game. I have so many hours packed into it over the years. 13 days worth, I believe.
:-O

Creasy47

@0BradyM0Bondfanatic7, I'm not sure my collective time, because I've gone back and forth between systems and sometimes I would mess around on the game for hours and not save, but I have to have over a month of playtime. I still play that game avidly to this day.

Same here. I hardly ever save.

Creasy47

@0BradyM0Bondfanatic7, I wish I had done so, and logged it accordingly, system-to-system, to get a real count on how much time I've spent on the game. Would be an interesting total, I'm sure.

Well, for any non-premium members out there who own an Xbox 360, the 'Battlefield 3' DLC 'Close Quarters' will be out tomorrow for 1200 MSP/$15.

'Far Cry 3' has been delayed to November:
http://www.xbox360achievements.org/news/news-12125-Far-Cry-3-Release-Date-Slips-to-November.html

'Dragon's Dogma' sequel has been confirmed; not sure if anyone liked the game (thoughts?) - I played the demo and quite enjoyed myself, I just hate the lack of rag doll in games these days. It's really make-or-break for me, as sad as that is:
http://www.xbox360achievements.org/news/news-12122-Dragon-s-Dogma-Sequel-Confirmed.html

Also, I'm proud to say that I'm starting up a new profile on Skyrim; haven't played the game in months, I recently picked up an Xbox 360, so it'll be really, really fun to have a summer to return to the beauty that is the world of Skyrim.

hhhhmm why so low? It's the best in the series by far.

I don't like the overhead viewpoint, I just prefer the 3d ones, and I played it on Gameboy so the controls were tricky.

Finally! I've been so tired of playing the beta!

Master_Dahark

I am so intrigued by the new Assassins Creed trailers that I've borrowed the older games from a friend. Time to hop on the bandwagon I think!

Creasy47

I wonder why it took them a year to test the DLC beta on the PC for 'Cold Stream.'

2nd one is the best.

@thelivingroyale, I second that. I loved AC2.

Oh, what could have been. It's such a pity that game didn't see the light of day.

MajorDSmythe

I've never liked AC2. The first game isn't perfect, but the plot and setting (especially the setting), were enough to compensate. Through Revelations, I struggled to remain interested in completing the game as it felt as it it'd done it all before. So I want AC3 to shake the series up a bit.

Alright-- I sat down and played again this weekend. Once I got reacquainted with the controls I played until I beat the part I was stuck on months ago (which was actually really easy once I realized what to do!)
I'm now addicted! I Made a TON of progress; I just got to the part where I met Huey, and I'm finding myself hoping that I'm not too close to the end because I don't want it to be over!!

:O Yeeeeesssssss :D :D :D

Hopefully it'll be as awesome as the arcade game. Fingers crossed it's not a COD clone [-O<

Creasy47

@thelivingroyale, it's one of those games that would be near impossible to mess up, but I have a feeling they'll manage to do just that. Just give us an M rating, tons of melee weapons and firearms, and tons of gore and dismemberment, a bit of stealth interaction, along with a nice jungle setting, and I'm set.

thelivingroyale

@Creasy47 I'd like it if they made it 3rd person, and let us make use of Rambo's stealth and hunting abilities as well as his ability to machine gun an entire army.

Creasy47

@thelivingroyale, I, too, would enjoy it being in third person. I wonder if Stallone is slated for the voice of Rambo...yet another way they could incredibly botch the entirety of the project if they don't get him on board.

I'm kind of surprised it hasn't been officially announced yet. It probably won't be long before the whole Halo saga can be played on the 360.

Outstanding to hear..Keep at it and aim for the AI Pod with missiles.

I am telling you as a gaming fan, Peace Walkers story line is one of the best I have been able to enjoy.
