Kind of interested in prototype 2...

To any1 who's played the original, is it a poor man's Infamous?

I don't really think it's anything like inFamous except for the open world aspect. Xbos fanboys made it a Prototype vs inFamous debate years ago because they were both open world and released around the same time. They were just pissed they couldn't play inFamous. PS3 owners got the best of both worlds. inFamous is a much better game but Prototype is decent. The side missions in Prototype are mundane and don't have any connection to the story at all, just skill based challenges basically. The upgrades you get are pretty bad ass. The graphics are nothing to write home about. It's a solid 7 IMO.

Started Infamous...

Got it from the welcome back promo Sony did a while baq and finally played it...

It's fukin awesome, put some time in last night...Cole's gurl leaves him And the Shit Goes Dwn!!

I wonder how powerful I can become? Like Electro maxed out powerful?

Glad you like it. It's a great game and one of my favorites this generation. Throwing electric grenades and power bombing fuckers from high buildings never gets old. Like Swarles and Jay said the sequel is awesome too, as is the Festival of Blood DLC. That's how DLC should be done.

Finally beat Mass Effect 2.....TIM is not happy with me. Epic game....dragged on a little with the Loyalty missions but most of them were very interesting.

I guess I will do some DLC then onto ME3....I want to jump in now....maybe I can just watch Arrival on youtube.

Will playing or not playing the DLC affect ME3?

There are small effects spread throughout the game, but to my knowledge, there is nothing from the DLC that changes the game experience significantly.

I went with Shadow Broker and Arrival after researching some more online.

Anyone play the Diablo III beta yet?

I went with Shadow Broker and Arrival after researching some more online.

I enjoyed Shadow Broker a lot more than Arrival. Honestly, Shadow Broker is the one that has the most impact on the story.

I also have off tomorrow and anticipate doing nothing except catching up on sleep and gaming. It's feeling that a day where I'm going to bring out the N64.

From VSD Game Night #2...

Addendum: I also took the liberty of snapping a few screens and recording some vids using the tools Naughty Dog gives you within Uncharted 3 so please enjoy...


*I'm pretty sure this isn't how TSA does it.

**Also, Padman takes a nap at the most inopportune time...


*Josh abruptly has me check for his keys while also showing my friend physics via flipping him on his ass



The best vids that I took before the servers went rogue and caused me to lose most of the temporary recordings I had saved thus far:

 

Josh learns about my experience with Pyrotechnics

Josh in-turn tries to school me on all the different types of Propane and Propane Accessories

The same as above, but at a different angle

Never beat gears of war 2. Anyone else trying to play some co-op with me tonight? It's gonna be fun, i'm gentle.

[Swarley]

I thought Gears 2 was only two player co-op?

Huh...I guess it is.

Oh, and tonight probably isn't going to work. Forgot about some homework I have due tomorrow. After tonight I should be good though unless Med really wants that cheevo, then he can play lol.
