video games ruined my life

[S3lf1shly3mpty]

what is it doing? do you have the YLOD?

I googled it. Seems like everyone's calling it the Red Screen of Death. Just an insanely bright red screen that pops up when you start the PS3 saying "A Serious Error has occurred. Contact Technical Support." Supposedly caused by a hardware failure? It happened to me on Friday and I managed to get around it, but I think it's officially dead now. Tried booting into safety mode and nothing seems to be helping. I have to call Sony tonight and see what's up.

who sharing maps? i'm reluctant to pay again

[Lozinski]

I really didn't enjoy the new maps nearly as much as I thought I would so I'm out for the next pack.

I mastered them with the first game and got bored of them by the 2nd.

COMMON DUDES!

[ROYALEFATALE]

loving the trailer park map, good mix of super-tight quarters and open lanes, fuel is pretty massive lots of elevation all around, also carnival is kind of crazy, almost too many spots to hide in

[SixThousandDollars]

Fuel and Carnival are horseshit camper's paradise maps.

Carnival is alright. Crash is fun. Vacant is alright. Overgrown's spawns are awful. Strike is by far the biggest shithole map ever.

These maps were a waste of money and have just made me appreciate the old maps more.

[Solix]

Carnival is pretty crazy. It's so colorful and vibrant, that I'll get lost looking at stuff and get shot by actual enemies.

Crash is one of the best maps EVER. It's all about know how the level works, I've yet to get lower than a 4 k/dr. Bringing them back made me realize how much of a I've always been a big fan of the CoD4 map layouts (Not so much Vacant). If they did something like a "Vintage" Pack, I'd definitely shell out the extra dough if they did a set that included Creek, Pipeline, Bloc, Ambush, Countdown, or Showdown.

[pokpok]

brabracopped with royale for an ill minute...gg

[ROYALEFATALE]

GGs, my bro wanted to play the new maps for a bit so i had to back out, need the whole brobocop crew back together though

[DüM]

royale, hit me up on aim next time you guys play and I will brobocop. I think I lost any skills I had though haha.

[ROYALEFATALE]

yeah i was mad rusty for a few days when i started playing but now i'm getting back in the swing of things, we usually play anywhere from like 7-5AM EST depending on the day

I was with you until here....

CoD4 still > MW2, though. I'm hoping for a beautiful love child of the two for spec ops..

[Solix]

Countdown is an awesome map! It's got great sight lines for sniping but still enough cover for run-n-gunning or shootouts.

Sorry for blowing off the SuFu posse, I've been playing with my friends and fam.

[Baeyer-Drewson]

So I'm done with RDR. Gave up MW2 to sporadically play BF:BC2, and I've occasionally been hitting up my old Borderlands savefile and a little CoD:WaW. Should probably get more use out of L4D and Bioshock 2.

What shooter are you hanging out for next? I feel like I have exhausted all the fun from most current games. I'd love something with the smooth, fast-paced action of MW2, but with a reduced rage-quit propensity (like BF:BC2).

Will MoH cut it, or will I have to wait for CoD:BO? The only game I'm really psyched for is Fallout NV. Gonna be ridiculous.

Can anyone recommend me some XBLA games that are fun for offline multiplayer? ie, all players kicking back on the same couch, playing on the same screen.

I've heard good things about Castle Crashers.

[jack napier]

oh man.. i just finished the homestead missions on rdr

so fuckin' depressed

MoH essentially uses the same engine as BF:BC2, since the teams behind the engine are one in the same. I tried my cousins' beta and I can say that it feels more fluid than BC2, with more of a CoD smaller map system. I'm thinking about buying it, but there are tons of things wrong in the beta (that's more like an alpha considering how glitchy it is) that I need to try in the real game before purchasing.

[Baeyer-Drewson]

but there are tons of things wrong in the beta (that's more like an alpha considering how glitchy it is)

MoH sounds like it might be a winner once they smooth it out. I was just reading about the multiplayer on IGN. Didn't realise DICE was doing it. Glitches can nearly always be ironed out...

[NatseOklim]

For XBA you should get Worms Armageddon

[Bislane]

Or geometry wars 2 if you've never tried a two stick shooter and think that might be your thing baeyer. I'm starting bioshock 2 today, the first one totally lived up to the praise it got when it came out so I'm pretty psyched to get back to rapture. the graphics are going to make a huge difference if a comparison of the menus is any indication

[incob123]

Worm Armageddon for the PC was the shit.

[beezup]

yes yes yes. idk about all the other games, but im fucking pumped for NV.

edit: and are any xbox heads going to still play RDR? i want to upgrade my xbox and im thinking of trading in some games for store credit for the new xbox. Idk if RDR is worth keeping, im kind of on the fence about it, while i did like the story alot and the online was fun for a bit, i feel like i exhausted all there is to do online.

was just curious.

[Baeyer-Drewson]

^To be honest, and I hate to say anything negative about such a polished game, but RDR is not really a keeper for me.

A lot of fun for most of the single player, but... some of the missions, side-quests, and ambient challenges just seem more tedious and repetitive than in previous Rockstar games.

The multiplayer is fun and well made, but just not as fun as other available multiplayer titles. So why bother... Trade it in homie...

[NatseOklim]

^I traded mine in and got nearly full price back. It was an amazing game until I completed it but I wouldn't want to replay it.

[NatseOklim]

Worm Armageddon for the PC was the shit.

I take my Xbox round to a friends house once a week and all we've played for literally months has been Worms.

[Baeyer-Drewson]

Alright, that's it. I'm getting Worms on XBA.

[ROYALEFATALE]

starting to feel the same way about RDR, it's so impressive/massive/polished but the replay value is just not there, even with multiplayer it's always the same shit, either riding around killing animals or killing other players/lawmen, gets old, still hanging onto it at the moment though

[icandunkonu]

had a minor brobocop reunion last night, it felt good.

IN THE FACE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[sushijerk]

All the E3 coverage did not make me want to play any title. Then I downloaded Fallout 2 last week and I'm replaying that. This game is fucking awesome.

[DüM]

yeah I felt that way pretty quick about RDR. It was really, really fun for a bit, but I realized it was always going to be the same. And the competitive multiplayer is frustrating imo.

I still need to finish the story though.
