[:plant:] The GFF Game Club [Now Playing: Max Payne] Now with less spoiler tags

Ending the spoiler chain!

I would like to join, Omagnus. Sign me up!

Jam it back in, in the dark.

RPGs would be very hard to do. They require a lot of time and dedication, and a lot of people can not or would rather not do that. It would have to be short and simple, something Xenogears is not.

Crackdown isn't a half-bad idea. It's on the cheap, it's not too long, and I don't think it's a game that everyone's played. Maybe the first Army of Two? I'd like to see how multiplayer goes for the Game Club, and it's a quick and dirty game. Plus I wouldn't mind playing it again.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Actually, this discussion brings up an interesting topic (which I may have missed since I haven't been paying attention): Should Shadow of the Colossus be the next game?

I'd definitely be willing to play that gem again.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Feh. There's no physical copies of Beyond Good & Evil within 30 miles of where I live, and I don't like downloading games when I can own the disc.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

I thought about it, but by the time I would receive my copy, the play period would be halfway over.

I was speaking idiomatically.

...And this will be the third game in a row that I will not be playing.

Laaame.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

I fired off a few ideas to Skills yesterday. I think the next game should have some sort of multiplayer aspects to get people talking. That said, here are some that I can remember:

Crackdown - Been mentioned several times, and hasn't been played by toooo many people here. I don't think. A shitload of fun once you max out your agility rating, or have a co-op partner.

Army of Two - Yes, yes, the stigma behind it, I know. But it's dirt-cheap now, has decently strong multiplayer (mainly co-op, but there's competitive modes too), and it's a game I know a lot of you haven't played.

Bionic Commando - Stigma, blah blah. Totally underrated, and people who haven't even played it bitched about it, which bugs the shit out of me. There's multiplayer, but not particularly strong. I mainly just want to see how people react to the game when they actually play it. Very cheap now, too.

Also, just for the hell of it, I mentioned Full Throttle. Just because it should be an option in every choice you ever make.

FELIPE NO

I imagine co-op over online with that game is a pretty empty experience.

This is the stigma I'm referring to; people have said it's a terrible game, and as such you are expected to just leave it be. Well... it's gotten cheap enough to actually risk it, and if you buy it from a place like Gamestop, you could return it within the week if you were so mortified by it that you needed to be rid of it.

And you talk like there isn't a chat system for people to interact with one another when playing the game online. Of course it doesn't trump sitting next to someone you know and playing it locally, but online multiplayer isn't bland-- just play a game with a tit like Skills on the other end.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

If he wants to present an argument, that's perfectly fine. All he said was that it's bad, so I offered an explanation. Making something out of an innocent exchange, Deni.

I agree. Cheapo shit is what makes this a great thing to get in on. New releases are expensive-- not to mention things everyone is playing anyway.

Today's the day. Do we have a decision?

Additional Spam:
Actually, what about Sacred 2?

It's $20 new through Gamestop's Game Days sale, it's considered a pretty good game that not everyone has played, and it's got very enjoyable multiplayer. Thoughts?

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Oh, what the fuck. You looked at my ranking correctly, right Omagnus? Like, how I put Max Payne last?

Ah well. I'll just pass.

Most amazing jew boots

A fuckwad who played it too many times back in the day.

Not to mention that I actually don't have $10 to spare (Skills was frustrated by the same thing when I didn't have the money for Perfect Dark).

How ya doing, buddy?
