Dead Rising 2 is fun. Its also really frustrating, some of the boss fights are really obnoxious and unfair (in a "do stupid shit to win" way, not in a "old school hard" way).
That said
its a game where you can attack dynamite to a lawn dart, throw the lawn dart into the head of a zombie 30 yards out, then get a shitload of points because you killed a big group of zombies in an amazing way
It has an electric wheelchair you can cart zombies around in
I guess how much frustration are you willing to endure for a game that lets you kill zombies in the best possible ways?
I played a bit of the first one. Hmm.
Enh, I'll wait. It will be on sale again at some point and I have so effing many unfinished games.
Wait are you thinking of the time when everyone got shirtless? Because that was great
I'm talking about last time, when zombie was, like, (to mori) "I think you're really annoying" and mori replied "well, I don't like you either" and then everyone left.
of COURSE when i don't show up it gets weird
im like the sticky, bro-ish glue that keeps our [chat] family together

DR2 is fun, but IMO the game shines in the same way that, say, GTA games shine:
Get a few friends over and ignore the plot and do crazy stupid shit and laugh.
More of a console game in that regard, IMO.

I just heard a large-caliber gun shot from somewhere in the forest near my house.
I am going to assume someone is rabbit hunting with a cannon.
Speaking of games I own, I really need to actually play alpha protocol. It sounds like it gets better after the initial section, which is where i stalled out.
It absolutely does. I've said this a bunch of times so forgive me in advance if you've heard it already, but I feel like Obsidian are still making games from the 1990s PC gaming perspective, where you had to earn your fun. "Here's our game! You're going to die in two hits to everything and you'll shoot like a blind spastic but if you persevere and don't put your fist through the monitor you'll be awesome. Eventually."
Right around the time Saudi finishes is when you start having enough points to be actually competent at the things you want to do, and by the end you'll be a golden god. I honestly think if the game had shipped with Veteran mode enabled (where you start with a bunch more skill points) from the beginning those 50s and 60s it got would have been solid 75s or 85s.
Another problem with WOTC's style, is they've bought into the PC argument about sexism. Uh, its fantasy, sexual archetypes are one of the bastions on which fantasy is built. Still, the 3rd edition female Elf, looked like a gender-neutral librarian with a 24-inch chest. I love Gloria Steinheim, I'll gladly attend her lecture and agree with her, but I can respect feminist causes and still leer at cleavage in my stupid fantasy book/game.
WOW and EQ gave us cleavage...in the "Succubus, Monster Manual" vein...and were richly rewarded for their homage to the human mammary gland.

Speaking as someone who just completed the game, yes, yes you do. By "initial section", do you mean the first mission hub, or the place you wake up?
Game gets loads better once you're allowed to branch out a little.

Mostly I am cranky about complaints of undereating because I gained weight and put myself on a strict diet. I keep a Nalgene on my desk, full of water. If I start to get hungry, I just slam a liter of water until I feel too sick to eat. It's like a poor man's lap band.
I have put away, like, 6 liters so far today.

look at the G and T thread on the new vanillaware title, it's even worse
Gah, I crave food that I cannot have. Mainly, most food. Practically all food. Either I will get used to this soon or it will grow near-unbearable. How nice it would be were it to be the former.

You should drink something like Brawndo. It's got the electrolytes your body craves.
Seriously, though, don't kill yourself by draining all of your ions.

Oh yeah, let me find that great quote from the valilliaware thread:
There is some sort of ninja femminism cult on this board. Any topic like that is bound to end badly. You cannot have even a slightly moderate stance without being picked apart by a vulture.
Not just femminists but ninjas.

I like the name skyrim because I can tell the game is way way too big for me to ever want to play

Dead Space 2: Like Dead Space 1 but smarter.
Ass:Bro: Like AC2 but smarter.
MW2: Like MW1. Not smarter. Just like MW1.
So glad to hear that. Though I'm not very objective I have an Ishimura hoodie and bought DS2 collectors edition.

Probably like a dumbass or a clown or both.
Like I said, I can't wait for Skryim: Vegas published by Obisidian, more bugs, better gameplay.

Well considering that I adored AC2 (and AC1 for that matter) I really should get on Assbros. I should probably snatch up the DLC for AC2 first.

seriously though, what are you talking about?
Meh
DLC for AC2 is apparently not very exciting
I guess if you really need THE COMPLETE EXPERIENCE
but if all you want is more Ezio, I don't see any reason to settle for mediocre DLC when you could just buy Ass:Bro
which is AC2 but better
Same. First portable device to get me excited since the GBA. Plus, more powerful than the 3DS at the same price? Hello.

Judging from the title, it's a compliment

I would be fine with a situation where Bethesda made engines and Obsidian made their games
Although I have to admit
Even New Vegas disappointed me in some pretty big ways
You're back in?
