yeeeha going to gamescom at colone in less then 10 hours, cant wait, really excited :-)

Just saw a guild wars 2 showmatch on the IEM stream (tomorrow and saturday another showmatch) and massively pumped for it. Looked really smooth even though it's not in open beta yet.
I played a lot of top level GW1 pvp and I'm really looking forward to this, I think this is going to be one of the next big pvp/spectator/esports games hopefully.

i guess this goes in here

you can get the nfl ticket thru ps3 now for 340 a year, without having direct tv.


badasssss.

Is there any reason to get a DSi or DSi XL over the 3DS?

GW1 is the only MMO I've ever played for a significant time - largely because it was the first free-to-play one. GW2 looks sick and the dynamic events stuff sounds genuinely innovative.

Man, the summer doldrums suck. Nothing I really want to play until October.

Deus Ex: Human Revolution tho

Anyone have a recommendation for a good city-building/resource-based strategy type game on Steam? Right now I'm torn between Anno 1404 and 1701 A.D (although I hate the names of both games, wtf).

Haha, that was awesome

what's wrong with the names?

I have a desktop and a laptop. I'm considering not updating my PC (and possibly even just throwing it in storage) because I'm not sure I need it.

I own a 360, so the only real downside I can think of with games is that I'd miss out on some better deals via Steam. Considering how rarely I play games anymore, though, I'm not sure it's an issue.

In the last year, I played Red Dead Redemption (360), Dead Space (PC), and Mass Effect (PC).

Has anyone else stopped PC gaming and just 360 or PS3 gamed? Anything I'm going to miss?

lol PC separation anxiety?

I stopped PC gaming for more than 5 years. Now I'm getting back into it.

You won't really miss out on anything imo, just play the games later if you want to.

Haha, I'm worried about missing it. I'm not missing PC gaming much at the moment. haha

you're missing out on the MOBA's

Dota 2 coming out (beta in a few days)
League of legends
Heroes of Newerth

and starcraft 2 obv

What does MOBAs stand for.. too lazy to comprehend that at the moment.

multiplayer online battle arena

Wouldn't have gotten those last 2 thanks dude

so are there any MMOFPS games out or that are coming out that I can try to get excited about? Planetside 2 has poopy graphics. Dust 514 is PS3 only (might get a PS3 for that, idk).

i've been so disappointed in video games lately.

I wouldn't count on a good MMOFPS for a long time. Developers are having a hard part with handling just the 'FPS' part. But BF3 should be a step in the right direction for the large-scale FPS genre (hopefully) and will probably be the FPS for a while.

Battlefield is the Ron Paul of FPS games.

(not 100% sure what that means but it seemed apt given the last couple posters )

I haven't had a lot of time to play games in the last few months, I finally got around to playing Arkham Asylum which was fantastic, but Mafia 2 was just okay/good, I'm playing Alan Wake now which is also okay and has some good elements but doesn't really live up to its promise (which is a shame, I was super excited about this game when it was first announced like 5 years ago).

The next 6-8 months are going to be ****ing awesome though:
Deus Ex: Human Revolution
Rage
Arkham City
Uncharted 3
Skyrim
Mass Effect 3

Yes please. It's like the perfect storm of amazing games. Plus BF3/MW3 for those that need their yearly twitch-FPS fix.

For me Alan Wake started off well and then became boring really fast.

Obama circa 2008 is a more apt comparison imo.

Hope and Change we can believe in!
