It looks like a thing where you would have to put up with a whole lot, mechanics-wise, to get at the fun stuff.
ARMA 2 being a hardcore military sim. I can't really articulate the things about it that make it less than fun to play. Just the way you interface with the game is odd, in order to make it more sim-y.
That, and the fact that it is a super early and buggy alpha make it seem not worth diving into, at this point.
Unless you really, really like zombies I guess.
I do like the idea of it though. Massive open world and all.
Ignore this man and play it.
ok, i'll go look for $30 worth of couch change
i saw the giant bomb quick look, i'm not sure this game is for me.

Here's a good look at DayZ, it gives a better idea of the actual gameplay. It's what made me want it, but I don't own Arma II Combined Operations, which you need. I played Arma II free and it was nothing like that, so the mod looks to be a bit divested from the main game.
The fact that you can only voice chat with those within a certain radius, and the voices getting quieter the farther away you are was a really nice touch that adds a lot, I think.

These guys have a lot of mods they use for "realism"

The voicechat thing is one of them.
Pretty sure that's already standard in the game.

Thank christ, finished AC Rev at last
I should continue with my backlog but maaan this Portal 2 stuff has got me wanting to play the single player again. I ought to have forgotten all the puzzle solutions by now, hopefully.
Goodness, I finally been devoting some time to Batman: AC. Holy shit is this game good, and it is fucking flat out gorgeous. I upgraded my rig a couple weeks ago and jacked up the graphics...seriously look at this shit.
If you click on them after following the link, I believe it gives you a bigger version.
The combat while similar to Arkham Asylum, feels much harder and you definitely need to make use of your gadgets when fighting more than three people. I was terrible at it at first, spending about twenty minutes on some of the earlier fights. Now I am getting the hang of it and I was TWO hits away from a 40 hit combo last night, so goddamn close.

The voicechat thing was one of my favourite touches too, the game wouldn't be nearly as cool without it.

Only one episode left though!!!
I probably will!
It's super good.
very soon you will be presented with the only choice you have in the game
do not make the wrong choice
studying is p boring
edit: unless you guys wanna play alien swarm!
alien swarm
that was a lot of fun but they never did anything with it
one campaign and done forever, it seems
shit, did any good community maps ever even happen?
I don't think so. A lot of people were playing for the TF hat, and as things were winding down SC2 came out and killed it completely.
It's a shame, I would pay cash dollars for some more campaigns.
A pitiful reminder of what could have been.
Is it worth it? I know there's DLC dropping soon, so there are definitely people playing it, but anyone from SE++ still on it?
human soldier with carnage
BF3 on the 360 almost seems like throwing pearls to swine.
Hello, yes, I just got it recently and play from time to time.
Friends to play with would really push me to play more, rather than pub squads all the time.
Yup just checked, my Origin account is linked with my GT. Either way, not too fussed missing out on BF3 character in ME3.
get battlefield for PC and get the BF3 guy in ME3
Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try again. Fail again. Fail better

Well pretty seems the wrong word for the aesthetic. Let's go with impressive, then!
I like them all!
