At least the Starcraft 2 xpac is out in March, the campaign will be fun for a week then I'm back to waiting.

I'm more or less with ya here, the story is starting to get really good! I'm a sucker for the custom games on starcraft 2 though as well.

I want to play an MMO!! >

I only play online multiplayer games like mw3 and blops2 to kill time when I can't be bothered to get sucked into hours upon hours of quests. Mostly hardcore search and destroy.

...i hate so many modern games, they are fire and forget, you pay $60, get liek 10 hours out of it and then you are done. Only a few really good ones like Oblivion, Fallout etc can give you like 200 hours of real gameplay. I wish there were more of those.

I agree wholeheartedly. I've got more than 700 hours logged in Skyrim, with the Dawnguard and Hearthfire add-ons, and I still haven't completed the main quest. (But I have completed the civil war questline, most of the faction questlines, and the Dawnguard quests.) I played through Morrowind several times, and there's still replayability, IMO, in Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas. But there are very few games that live up to the same standard as those. Most bore me within a few hours.

It's all about Minecraft: Feed The Beast right now. Playing that shit every day and every night. Sometime I wake up early before work to play it.

What I like about games like minecraft is that it is open to interpretation as to what your objective is, you can do so much shit and it doesn't come in any real order of importance. This is why I love larger sandbox games (Farcry 3, Mercenaries II, Just Case 2, Skyrim, Oblivion etc), they don't have you playing through a little box and then you are done. The $15 I spent on minecraft has given me years of enjoyment and continuous replay whereas things like Metro 2023 or any other random game gives me one playthrough and then i shelve it forever.

This kid is staying with me at my house right now with hsi parents while they try to find a new house, he found my x-box collection of literally every single game for xbox up until last year (Wehn i bought a proper gaming PC), and he was all amazed. I told him he could keep it all if he wanted it as I had already played the games and therefore don't have interest in using it anymore which is why its all sat in a shelf for a year. It was then that I realized how much i hate so many modern games, they are fire and forget, you pay $60, get liek 10 hours out of it and then you are done. Only a few really good ones like Oblivion, Fallout etc can give you like 200 hours of real gameplay. I wish there were more of those.

I'm afraid I have to side with those who think Dishonored doesn't live up to the hype. It's a great concept, beautifully rendered, but the gameplay constantly breaks immersion. It's far too easy to kill opponents, and far too difficult to take them out non-lethally. The plot is too ham-handed, attempting to present clichés as cleverness. With a good deal more subtlety, it could have been among the best games of all time. As it is, it's like the guests at an A-list party -- gorgeous, but boring, once you get over being dazzled.

What is lol?

[Sato]

I didn't care for LoL, it seemed like a flashy and poorly balanced AoS (the game DotA/LoL ripped off) Still plenty of people seem to like it!

Anyone play Starcraft 2, TF2 or Xbox Live?

[Nuusku]
