the other day on utterz a contact set up a giveaway for an early demo of this game. i was so excited that i was the very first to respond to his utter that he just gave me the demo even though he was originally going to pick the names out of a hat.
it took me a couple of days to play it. i really should have entered the code the second i got it because the download took forever. i could have just let it happen overnight, but it was the first thing i did friday afternoon when i got home from work. 1 hr later and 8% download completed i said fuck it all and jumped on my trusty cod4 with my trusty cod4 friends and played all god damned mother fucking day. it was a great day... in fact, i played that day until 4am.
the next day the download was complete, but i didn't get the chance to try it out until that evening. my first impression was good. i liked the graphics and the character movements. all those tiny little details made the game look great and if i had a better tv it would have been the shit. i like the concept of the story line and the game play wasn't bad.
it wasn't all that good either. it felt a little jerky, i don't like half the screen being taken up by a scope or sight. and i'm really starting to hate the run button all the fps'. the dreaded left analog stick run system. my thumb is starting to fail me so i end up taking twice as long to get everywhere.
doesn't really matter much though because i don't need to run long distances. from the beginning i jumped into a truck, then another and another. through out the game you can jump into any vehicle, tank, chopper and who knows what else.
i had fun on the game, but sometimes there was so much going on all around you that you just didn't know which direction to point your gun at. i mean shit was going off right next to my feet. explosives were hurling at me from everywhere. once i learned to ignore the explosives and not fear them (i'd made my peace with death) i was able to fully concentrate on the enemy and once i'm concentrating you're dead fucking meat.
after that the demo was a total piece of cake and i finished it much faster than i would have liked. so, then i jumped on the multiplayer bit. the words insanity do not even begin to cover it. i died as soon as i figured out how to get in on the game. i didn't understand the option of spawning with your friends or spawning in your camp so i never knew where i was when i spawned. the tutorial might have helped, but i'm too impatient.
i tried nearly every single weapon and realized that i sucked at absolutely everything. i tried something that looked like my rpg on cod4 and hated it.... at first.
in those first few games i was being demolished and not had no clue what was up from down. i was being bombarded by helicopters, giant guns that launch these huge explosives (i need to ask rigid what they are.), getting sniped, stomped, trucked over by a tank and trucks, riddle to death with bullets by gunners on vehicles or sitting in the passenger seat....fragged, shot, knifed and quite possibly ass raped.... oh! and drowned. i may have drowned, i can't remember. maybe i tried to drown myself when i tried to run away from an enemy in the river. "you'll never take me alive i say!"
as the evening wore on the gamers slowly began to disappear and then it was 1 vs 1 or 2 vs 2 games. by then i'd figure out a lot more stuff on my own and really started to thoroughly enjoy every single aspect of the game.
i even drove a boat down a river AND shot the shit out of someone. i fixed an enemy tank...it was an accident, but then i started doing it because it was hysterical. i tried to give enemies health packs... they looked a little sickly and you know, as a medic it's your responsibility to think of the lives of others too... it's only humane.
suffice it to say that the support kit was my favorite. too bad i won't be able to unlock it unless i buy the gold edition of the game:
Special “Gold Edition” Packaging
5 Exclusive Weapon Unlocks
Assault Kit Unlock
Recon Kit Unlock
Specialist Kit Unlock
Demolition Kit Unlock
Support Kit Unlock
DVD w/Behind the Scenes content and multiplayer strategy videos
man...this post was way longer than i thought it would be. and here i thought i really hadn't much to say. HAH!

Call Of Duty 4
not sure if i've written about this game before. right now i'm loving it. i've been playing cod4 since it pretty much came out. i had to buy another 360 just to get rigid off my console. i don't have as much time to play as i used to. in fact even if it did my wrist would probaby fall off.
it's been giving me a lot of trouble lately because i've been gaming more than usual, but i don't care. i'm studying like crazy and gaming and that's about it. i don't have much time for anything else and i don't want to. i'll ocassionally go out for a social thing or a family thing, but i just don't have the time i used to.
SO it's all about the call of duty right now. if it weren't for this game i don't know what i'd be playing. in fact i'd probably be on my 3rd go at mass effect. i still haven't even finished assasin's creed.
i got the new maps a while back and i finally went presteige. i was NOT interested in going preteige before, but for a while there i was actually starting to get bored with the game. going presteige wasn't as bad as it sounds. i mean, yeah you lose all your weapons but it's so much more fun than sitting there without a sense of accomplishment. that's the thing isn't it? that's why we play ranked games day in and day out.
i wish i had the time to play with every single one of my friends. i don't have the time to run my own rooms anymore so i'm always shuttling around between this room and that room; these friends and those friends. but at least no one expects all that much from me anymore. it's not as much pressure to switch rooms all of a sudden so i find it a lot easier to jump on for a few games with some old friends and then to the next with some new.
team deathmatch (tdm) (the giant one with domination and deathmatch) is a lot of fun to play with my gtp friends. it's a bit too nuts for me and very fast paced. the 16 player rooms fill up fast, the lag can be pretty bad and in those rooms everything goes. there's no martyrdom courtesy that's expected in hardcore (hc). and no one cares that they're constant fragging after every single spawn is RETARDED and killing the game.
this is why i prefer hardcore over team deathmatch games. rigid's friends are really nice people and i'd rather hang out with my husband. some of his friends are idiots, but i still like them. they're idiots much like me so it works out well. also these rooms are much more quiet than tdm making it much easier for me to hear what's going on in the game. problem is hc can be a lot more difficult to play.
there's no reticle, you're exptected not to use martyrdom as a courtesy to fellow gamers and fraggin or nube tubing is simply not the done thing. unless you're very proficient at it. team killing (tk) is simply unacceptable. not only will you get the third degree from your team mates, but the respawn penalties are horrible not to mention your score drops each tk. (i think lol)
still, hc rooms are my favorite rooms at the moment and it's pretty much all i'll play. because of this i usually dominate in regular tdm rooms, but lately because my wrists hurt so bad and i refuse to take any medication for it i've been sucking ass. big hairy wet ass... plus i HATE domination.
headquarters, domination and that other one where you have to do a bomb thing... whatever. can't stand those games. too much running. in the beginning it was so much fun. ELIMINATION! that's the bomb thingies name. it's a fun match, but it got boring after a while and so did all the others.
now we're just waiting for more maps! love china town, creek is annoying and i've never seen that little one. not once!
OH and this was the very first online game i've ever played with a co-worker! Fatmonster001 is my friend at my firm and it's been so much fun gaming with him. a little embarassing because my cod4 friends can be abrasive and rather dirty. i'm usually about as professional at work as i can muster and i find it a little difficult to share my filthy underground gaming life with the real world.
still, it's so much fun!

Armored Core 4
I was just reading a few posts down about the day I heard Armored Core 4 was coming out. I was so excited I could have eaten my own poop. I remember the day I brought the game home.
It was like...magical. Too bad the game sucked monkey balls. I was so fucking disapointed it's not even funny. I still haven't finished the game and I bought it ages ago. Man, I don't think I even got past the first 5 levels. Maybe I set it too hard. Maybe the truth is that I really do suck...Maybe I'm the one that sucks monkey balls!!! RIGID! Rigid has monkey balls....lol
One day I shall go back to that game and finish it on easy, like stupid easy. I'll set up a new AC and just be done with it.
Back in the day when I first started playing this on the playstation it was the shit. Better than sliced bread I tell you. I loved it and I coudln't get enough nor could my friends. The third Armored Core game I got wasn't all that great either, but I figured the graphics would be fantastic on the 4th game and I was right.
It's a beautiful game. The graphic's alone are enough to make you weep and bring you to your knees...grab you by the bollocks and pinch really hard.... wait...what?
Yeah, so even though I hated the game and never picked it up again I am still loyal to the series (if anything ever comes out again) and I'll always be a fan. The intense amount of fun I used to have playing the old games is enough for me to waste my money forever on something I'll probably only play once.
THAT'S how I feel about Armored Core....
I love you Kayhman...I still have you on a memory card somewhere. One day I'll take you back out and treat you to a really perfect generator...maybe some lube.... a new paint job and some really fucking kick ass monster guns..... one day.

Halo
A friend introduced the Xbox to me and The Master Cheif. Good times. I think anyone that's never tried it should at least once, but you need plenty of friends to try it with.
Halo isn't something you can enjoy to the fullest all on your own. Great games and really great graphic's from the start.
The story is amone the very best out there, but I do have to say the last one wasn't all that great. Story wise and graphics wise it was as close to perfection as you could get, but the playability didn't live up to the hype.
I still have Halo 3 and I doubt I'd ever go so far as to get rid of it, but I don't have many friends who are still willing to go a few rounds and even when I do it's just not as much fun as it used to be. Well, they're pretty much the only thing that makes it fun.
Too bad too.

i'm not familiar with prey, but to tell you the truth i wasn't as impressed as my husband was. i think the problem is that i've never really liked games that play like a computer game....like quake. i know i'm probably going to get it from quake fans. it's a great game, but really...i don't like feeling like there should be a mouse in my hand.
the graphics were outstanding though, and the story felt really solid. also, the fact that there's no waiting between the game play and the cut scenes is great. what am i talking about, there weren't any cut scenes. i do love that. rigid, my husband, was so impressed with it from the start that he kept getting out of the ocean just to hear the water fall off when he got out.
i guess it's the attention to detail that's really struck him. taking the time to solve those little puzzles in order to hack the flying machines was a lot of fun as well. rigid played the game as i told him where to go or if he missed something. when it was time to do a puzzle we were off guard, but i helped him solve it the first time.
the point of that is that i felt completely immersed in the game even though i wasn't playing at all. this is one of those games (like parasite eve, resident evil, silent hill) that you can just kick back and enjoy as someone else plays and not feel one damn bit annoyed that you don't have the controller in your hands. there hasn't been a game out there that can hold my attention like that in a LONG.....LONG time.
all in all: two thumbs, two toes and two...well, i won't go there. LOL

Armored Core 4
YOUR SHITTING ME!!!! Armored Core 4???? If you could have seen my jaw hit my desk you would have peed your pants laughing. ARMORED CORE dudes! That's my game!!!! That's my game!!!! I still have all my original Armored Core characters from my Playstation. OMG... I'm going to pee my panties.I have to find out when this game is coming out!.....
OH NO!!! THE HORROR, THE FAGGETRY!!!!! It's not due to be realeased until the spring of 2007. That means anything could happen, delays, set backs and even more delays! I'm mortified. I was hoping it would be out this christmas. Well, so be it. That just means I have until the spring of next year to get set up with my 360. Hopefully the new batches come out by then, otherwise I'll have to settle and take my chances like everyone else.
Xbox Official Magazine
"Armored Core 4
Crunching it's metallic hooves onto the Xbox 360 from the team that brought you Chromehounds! Featuring multiple opponents, all new environment battle and fully customisable floor squashers, Armoured Core 4 will be stepping out of the shadows on onto a house near you in Spring of 2007. And with extensive online features also promised this title is set to appease those who like nothing better than smashing their mates Mech up over Xbox Live!
publisher: Sega developer:FromSoftware genre:Shoot 'em up release date:Spring 2007 "
Let me tell you, if someone broke out with the news that Armored Core 4 would be released along with the new PS3 it wouldn't be a hard choice for me between the 360 and the PS3. THAT'S how much I love this game.
This link, if it works, might give you up to date news on this game as it appears on the web...I think: Armored Core 4 News on Google
