Same thing with me really, I play Xbox 360 mostly, but I can't get enough of Tribes: Ascend.Syruse wrote:Having been a console gamer my whole life, I feel more at home with a controller. But, I can't remember the last time I played a shooter on a console. :S
TF2 has pretty much monopolized my FPS experiences, lol.
Oh god, Tribes is so much fun :)FurkeyRefills wrote: Same thing with me really, I play Xbox 360 mostly, but I can't get enough of Tribes: Ascend.
It's really good fun and quite fast paced, something that the last few Halo campaigns seem to have been lacking :(

Haha yeah, that's another thing keeping me from consoles. 15$ a month for xbox live? No thank you.DaveYanakov wrote:I'll be playing it on the PC as well. I just can't play shooters at all without a mouse and since I'm old enough that what twitch reflexes I had are turning to mush, I need every advantage I can get.

Where are you getting that figure from ? I'm paying the equivalent of $60 for the entire year!BinoAl wrote:15$ a month for xbox live? No thank you.
I could've swore it was 15$ a month... Maybe it was 15$ for 3 months then? Still, free on pc xPFurkeyRefills wrote:Where are you getting that figure from ? I'm paying the equivalent of $60 for the entire year!BinoAl wrote:15$ a month for xbox live? No thank you.
Yeah I love the free-ness of PC multi-player, but I still like console gaming because, unlike my PC, I can sit on the sofa and relax while playing the Xbox.BinoAl wrote:I could've swore it was 15$ a month...

I regularly hook up my PC to my TV. Wireless mouse and keyboard ftw :)FurkeyRefills wrote: Yeah I love the free-ness of PC multi-player, but I still like console gaming because, unlike my PC, I can sit on the sofa and relax while playing the Xbox.
Yeah you can do that, but I still have a analogue Tv, so it's impossible for me I'm afraid.BinoAl wrote:I regularly hook up my PC to my TV.

Borderlands, as I could best describe it, is an FPS with heavy RPG elements. It takes place in a rather large world in which you travel around, taking missions from NPCs almost MMO style, and level up as you gain experience through combat and completing said missions. It has a fairly interesting gun generation mechanic, so a big part of the draw of the game is the loot-gathering aspect -- trying to acquire the best guns with the best effects for your level. While it definitely had its weaknesses, like a fairly weak story and very monotonous terrain/textures, it's one of those where the strengths of the gameplay can help negate the weaknesses of the game. I'd definitely recommend trying Borderlands 2 if it sounds at all interesting, especially if you have some people to play co-op with.Sarudak wrote:Never played borderlands... What's it all about?
During a studio tour of Gearbox's Dallas offices, the developer shows us a work in progress build of the Mechromancer, planned to launch around 60 days after the game releases in September. Currently, the Mechromancer uses assets lifted from Maya, the Siren, for her arms. But her design and one out of three skill trees is complete.
The skill tree is called Best Friends Forever, what lead designer John Hemingway dubbed the "girlfriend mode".
"The design team was looking at the concept art and thought, you know what, this is actually the cutest character we've ever had. I want to make, for the lack of a better term, the girlfriend skill tree. This is, I love Borderlands and I want to share it with someone, but they suck at first-person shooters. Can we make a skill tree that actually allows them to understand the game and to play the game? That's what our attempt with the Best Friends Forever skill tree is."
