I've still got TLAD to finish before I rent RE5 next week. But I too have been pretty busy with work stuff :/

My Resident Evil 5 just got shipped from GAME so I should be playing away on that 2morra!

[Mathachew Veteran]

After being on a month long hiatus, I'm finally back in the game playing groove with Assassin's Creed. Soon I'll be getting my hands on GoW2 and possibly the latest LotR game and Fear 2. I'm back! ....somewhat :D

[Vykranth]

i'm so honored that for all my efforts around here no one has noticed that i've been offline for almost three weeks due to work and stuff! i've dropped several places and expect to be out of the top 25 soon. such is life. but when i come back, there will be hell for all you slackers to pay.

Look at the bright side: the gamerscore between place 18th (UND3RxOATH) and you place 22th is only 447 points: that's only half a game. You'l get your rankings up in no time.

as for you vyk, you're still playing L4D? is it that good in your book? i mean, enjoyed it for a little while, but that was that.

Oh yeah, L4D night not be the most beautiful game around but it's really fun to play. You need to play with friends you know: you cannot win alone in L4D. The game is much more balanced since the last patch.

[NikBrooks]

Wow. I thought I had a healthy sized gamerscore... Some of you guys have blown me out the water!

Ill have to pull out Avatar and TMNT to boost my score up a bit :p In all seriousness, I was thinking about getting Left 4 Dead but Ive heard its extremely repeatative. Someone want to shed some light for me? Thanks.

[ThePokedPenguin]

Just broke the 4000 point mark, a mere 10 days after breaking 3000 :)

[neoadorable]

that's not bad D, congrats. the average is roughly 1000/month for most, so you're doing good.

jonny, at least you're feeling better and gaming on occasion - i haven't touched my 360 in three weeks! i'm cranky, suffering from blue thumbs and have no patience for losing my hard-won place in the leaderboard!

but thanks for the encouragement Vyk, i appreciate it. hopefully the games i'm stocking up on will suffice once i'm up and running again. in the meantime, i noticed you're almost at 38K...that's a good number!

EDIT: on the topic of L4D, i'd say it isn't as samey as you may think. it's quite entertaining, but even with friends is ultimately a short game. i'd say a couple of weeks are enough to get the most out of it. honestly the MP didn't do it for me - to abrupt and i just didn't get it.

Thanks for that!

I think I may be my first case of the rent/borrow and leave it at that. Im quite proud to say all the games on my gamercard are still on my shelf... but Im not sure if L4D will be one of them. We shall see :)

On the subject of gamerscore, Im hoping to break 20,000 by the end of the week. Im at 19,500 exactly so it shouldnt be too hard :)

[neoadorable]

not hard at all, you'll be there by sunday night.

[Guest]

Thanks for that!

Get this man in the leaderboard!

[neoadorable]

isn't he in already?

[GameOverRob]

Hit 60 K

[GameOverRob]

Also bagged the full 1,000 on 50 Cent.

L4D is extremely repeatitive if you play solo. The game is really only fun to play with friends. There are only 4 campaigns and only 2 of them are playable in versus mode.

The 2 other campaigns will be unlocked in versus mode via a patch end of April. The game has some randomness, enemy are never placed the same way between the same campaigns.

Sometimes, the game is light on enemies, sometimes, it's just super-cheap and everything hits the fan.

So, if you're unsure, yes, try a rental. I was lucky enough to have plenty of friends playing it and there have been some really good events in that game.

Hit 60 K

Pulverized 60K, maybe? You're already 447 points above 60K ;)!

Edit: And you added 100 points while I was making this post!

[NikBrooks]

I dont think I am. I only joined the forum a few days ago so...

Brilliant, thats pretty much what I wanted to hear. I might be lucky enough to borrow it from a friend, just to get a feel for the game. Then I might rent/buy to play along with him. Thanks :)

[neoadorable]

congrats to rob on the milestone. and nik, the way things are going, you'll be taking my spot soon enough!

[NikBrooks]

Haha, I think it might be a little while longer till Im at your level Neoadorable. :p But Ill take that as a compliment!

I bought Resident Evil on release day, but I agreed with a friend that Id wait for him and do it co op together. Im dying to play it aswell!

[Mathachew Veteran]

Wohoo, tacked on another 1000 within a week with Assassin's Creed. :D

[Rookas]

That's a lot of flag hunting. I got the 30 in the first town and decided that was plenty.

[GameOverRob]

I would have had 1,000 on that but I gave up after my kingdom flags glitched! 3 went missing! and my templars glitched 2 went missing! Very frustrating!

[neoadorable]

yeah 1000 in AC...you're either insane or truly dedicated! Those flags were a pain in the assassin!

[GameOverRob]

Just hit 61 thousand thanks to Resident Evil 5

[neoadorable]

good job. in other news, we finally passed the 150K achievements milestone, something i wished we could do by Jan 1st initially. Also, Vyk is well on his way to 40K - what do you say?

[Guest]

I see what you did there :shiftyninja:

[Rookas]

If i could ever get the time to do it, i've got several thousand points to get. Games that I've started but barely touched: Halo wars, hawx, tomb raider underworld, prince of persia and fear 2 multiplayer (almost done with the sp achievements). I've still got a few games that have been sitting on the shelf for over a year like blue dragon and eternal sonata, but if i'm gonna play an rpg i'll just finish the fallout 3 achievements. My score should be so much higher, i just need more vacation time. I really want to play through assassin's creed again after reading this thread, but that just won't happen anytime soon.

Oh yeah, forgot, I'll probably buy RE5 tonight when I get off work. That should hold my attention long enough to get a few hundred at least. I'd really like to break 45K by the end of the month. I've been at 43 since new year's.
