Bull Rancor? What the hell are you talking about?

Mathachew, sure some occasional casual is great...but LEGO and Kung Fu Panda? I'd play those with kids, and even then not on my account!

The Bull Rancor/Maris Brood are the boss to the Imperial Felucia level in Force Unleashed. Well known to be one of the toughest/cheapest boss fights in quite some time on Sith Master difficulty. TBH I don't know if I ever would have beaten it if it didn't glitch. I was *this* close to giving up for good and snapping the damned disk in half, lol.

I like the LEGO series, so why not? Not so sure about Kung Fu Panda, but for $10 (including shipping), it's hard to not get it. $10 for LEGO Indiana Jones seems fair, so Kung Fu Panda is just a little extra :D

Besides, I can play these with my daughter in my lap, as opposed to Gears 2, Bioshock, Oblivion, Fallout 3.... need I go on? :p

I know how you feel. That fight was awful on Sith Master, and I too had to glitch it.

heh heh i love it when bosses get stuck like that, it's such a lucky break. difficult games are the bane of my gaming enjoyment. i hate it when developers make it clear they playtested with all cheats turned on!

there you go mathachew, use you little girl as an excuse :happy:

The last few bosses on Sith Master were infuriating. Not only because of the actual difficulty, but because the damned targeting system is totally FUBAR. I seriously haven't been that mad and frustrated at a game in a looooong time.

BTW I'm going to see if I can trade in Bionic Commando for Ghostbusters tomorrow. I LOVED those movies in the 80's, so if it's even done reasonably well (and by most reviews, it is) I'll love it.

I love the movies, couldn't get into the game. I thought I would enjoy just for the voice acting by murray, akroyd and ramis but I just don't like it. It's kinda dull, the voice acting is shockingly weak (especially Bill Murray's) and it's just stupid hard. I might try playing it on easy (for SHAME!!) so I don't get killed by any more candlesticks.

Looks like I'm gonna miss my goal of 50K by July by a mere 1400. Girlfriend's taking away all my game hours, but I'll live.

Got it today anyway. I'm into RE5 right now, but I'll probably give it a quick go tonight.

Speaking of RE5, why does it get so much flak? I'm quite enjoying it. Sure, it's not as scary as other RE's, but it's still pretty creepy.

congrats. jianbing RE5 got great reviews, what flak?

rookas, don't spoil it for me, still waiting to play Ghostbusters! And someone add underoath, i mean drown the city...

People seem to complain a lot that it is just an action game now and not scary. Also that the partner is annoying. I guess it may be a bit different for RE purists, but it's fun as hell, so who cares?

Also, Ghostbusters is awesome so far!! It starts a little slow, but it really picks up. I've heard complaints that the acting sucks, but I've found it very good. The story is great too. Would have made a good movie. In fact, it really feels like you're "playing" one of the movies. It's really well written and it's really funny too. Also, most of the achievements are pretty easy, so you've got to like that :yes: .

how you even put up with that trash is beyond me...and you know i'm usually very mild mannered when it comes to critiquing games (spl?)

It wasn't that bad. Besides, one day of playing for 620 isn't all bad :D . I wasn't going to get it, but a friend badgered me into it so we could play multiplayer together. The chump hasn't even picked it up himself yet though.

I've got to cool it on games for a bit. I've spent waaaaay too much on them this past month. Luckily there are a couple of games that I can borrow from friends that I haven't played yet. I'll need them too as I've got the next couple of weeks off work, so I plan on doing even more gaming and catching up on things (if that's even possible :p ).

you deserve a medal for persevering like that...and it's a short push to 20K for you my friend, i want to see you there by the end of the weekend.

Ha!! I think I need to pick up a couple more games for that to happen. I mean, I could squeeze out a few more achivements from my existing games, but I usually get all the ones I feel are worth getting in my first playthrough. Plus it's the 1 year anniversary of my dad passing away tomorrow, so I don't think I'll be doing much gaming this weekend. Time with family, ect...

of course, i understand. and i'm sorry about your dad, i think you did tell us back when it happened...

Thanks Audio.

Borrowed Red Faction and Prototype from my cousin last night. Played RF for about 30 mins this morning and it seems like total garbage. I don't know if it's worth playing for points or not :pinch: . I'll give Prototype a go later today. I hope it's a hell of a lot better than RF :p .

    • Nearly 70% of Steam users now run Windows 11

      By WaltC · Posted

      Never had a problem with TPM and started using that many years ago in Win10. Through several motherboards and OS versions, it just does what it does without complaint. My games library doesn't even know it's there. Secure boot does a lot more than support anti-cheat, as it came along long before anti-cheat software. I've used it religiously since before I started using TPM, and I always liked it for being able to nullify virus contagions that try their best to come in underneath the firmware during boot, so that the OS doesn't see them, etc. That is its purpose, imo. I'll never understand why people who elect to use another OS feel compelled to run down Windows... I guess they need to do that to feel secure about their choices? I run Windows because it supports all the software (including games) natively that I want to buy, and I've never had to run down another OS to make me feel better about it. (Although it's certainly possible to do that, of course...) Win10 is on a ventilator atm, and Win11 is very close to being free, and I finally got to stop running StartAllBack as I moved to the Experimental/Dev channel and my 26300.8553 build supports the moveable taskbar and it's running fine at the top of the screen! Finally, my last major dislike of Win11 is being rectified! So, I'm not at all surprised to see Win11's share of the Steam survey hitting 70%.
    • AMD 9070XT

      By Mindovermaster · Posted

      I can answer about the Linux bit. I only used AMD GPUs. I currently have a 9060XT (8GB) that fits my needs, I'm not a gamer, so I don't need that much GDDR. But lately, NVIDIA has grown a lot in the recent years. Oh, the horrors of NVIDIA drivers not working. But they have been getting better. I know a lot of members onm here that are running cachyOS and other distros, and are fine with a 4090/5090 variants. Really, though, I would stick with AMD variants.
