Just picked up:

TNA Impact

The Darkness

Blue Dragon

Lost Planet

for a grand total of: $21

The Darkness and Lost Planet are both great games. Blue Dragon was disappointing, but still an ok game. I just can't do the JRPG thing any more, I probably won't even bother with FF13. $21 is a great deal though, I happily paid $60 for the Darkness and it was totally worth it.

I'm not too sold on Blue Dragon as I've only played the demo for a few minutes got it because I was wanting to get The Darkness.

Blue Dragon + TNA IMPACT = $21

Darkness + Lost Planet = Free :)

I was very tired when I got home and was playing The Darkness and wasn't enjoying it (motion blur plus not feeling well = no go).

I'll play Lost Planet on easy and then play on "Extreme" or whatever it's called.

That game is super hard on extreme because your "T-energy" is constantly draining at a pretty high rate. You really don't even have time to explore and run around because you have to constantly be killing. If it's your first time I'd turn the difficulty down a little, not to make it easier, just to have more time to explore.

Oops, misread your post! Yeah, you're right. Easy is probably too easy though, it's not very tough on normal.

The Darkness was an great game (which i need to finish up point wise). Sadly it was ****-poor easy (beat on hard first time) and the MP was horrible. If they could have made it harder and had better MP I would have played it alot more.

the gist of the darkness was story, presentation, feel. all those it had nailed down tight. yes, the mp was a joke with all that lag, and don't forget the killer glitch that made the game unplayable on the second playthrough..

I tried playing Blue Dragon and wow that game is just horrible. :(

Yeah, it's not great. I played all the way up to disc three before swearing off JRPG's once and for all. It's not even good for achievements, in 40+ hours I got 20 points.

wow that's a low time to points ratio - but then the converse is equally bad, you know games that dump 100 points in your lap the first two hours then for the next ten hours give you nothing. see condemned 2 as an example.

I'll think I'll trade it in after the new year and hope to get a nice amount from Gamestop or Play n Trade. :) TNA Impact really is not too bad and I'm not feeling up to playing a shooter at the moment.

C'mon guys, almost 12K to go! I know a fellow Neowinian joined just now, so his 3165 puts us at 2,987,777. Can we do it before the new year? Not unless several more people join... :(

Edit: ooOOoo, the group just updated to 2,990,437 and doesn't have my friend listed, so that puts us at 2,993,602 at least! Getting closer and closer to the mark :punk:

To mark the milestone Mattachew pointed out and that everyone seems to have forgotten probably because of some druken stupor, two snapshots

We did break the 3,000,000 Great Sausages mark and the 125,000 box of sausages

    • Dell, HP PCs ran into endless reboot, BitLocker recovery loops but Windows 11 isn't to blame

      By eiffel_g · Posted

      Funny, but I didn't had the issue. All PC's at work are Dell and we had the culprit version of Support Assist for about 2 weeks until we got the new one. No problem at all. And for checking you can also use Dell Command Update, no need to search in windows settings. Just check the Upgrade History.

    • Apple's AI smart glasses and Vision headset plans reportedly delayed, again

      By AnalystDan · Posted

      Apple are scared of their customers! They have built a brand over the years of "it just works out of the box", but that slows innovation. Samsung's master stroke was the Galaxy Ultra: "Let's cram everything into one handset, make it so stupid only real nerds will love it, some of the features will work, some won't, but the audience will have such a high tolerance they won't care". Apple has no such device and so they are constantly worrying these days about the fallout of creating a new experience that customers might not like. I know it is often cited the reason they don't build a touchscreen Mac Book is they don't want to cannibalise the the iPad market, but I think it's equally cold feet after the criticism Microsoft receive trying to make a touch compatible desktop OS

      So, an article that has nothing to do with Windows 11, still gets Windows 11 in the title and a build number as the picture? Dell have a buggy build of Support Assist HP have UEFI settings that need unlocking for the secureboot cert upgrade to take place.
