Apparently bowing before a fight is the polite thing to do as an invader in this game. Blazed didn't, but it was a fair fight. The next guy did, but one-hit me from the front.
PS3 160GB is on sale at BestBuy for $199. Seriously considering getting it along with MGS HD collection.
Why not?
If you don't have the MGS series, that alone makes it worth it.

Paid $670 for a PS3 5 or 6 years ago (the 80GB, fat, backwards compatible, bundled with MGS4 version). Played through MGS4 and sold it.Blade4509 wrote:

Nostalgia won me over...I bought the PS3 and the MGS HD collection for $248. Played through a good chunk of Sons of Liberty last night. I forgot how much of an annoying little shit Col Campbell is.
good purchase

Now get Plants vs. Zombies from PSN and play 2-player Vs. mode!
That game is the only reason why I would buy a PS3 (or an XBox360 for that matter).

http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/ga … vid-brabenIf you grew up playing computer games in the early eighties, you will know Elite, the legendary space trading simulation written by two Cambridge university students, David Braben and Ian Bell. Now, Braben has announced that his studio, Frontier Developments, is working on a new title in the series, and is looking to raise GBP1.25m on the crowd-funding site, Kickstarter, to make it happen.
In his Kickstarter pitch for the game, Braben explains that the original title took up less than 22k when it was released on the BBC Micro in 1984 less memory than the average email message. His ambition is to replicate the unique experience of that first adventure, but with all the extra graphical and scale possibilities modern hardware offers. Set for release on PC in 2014, players will be able to fight and trade their way across several galaxies, either in single-player or in a new multiplayer mode.
"Elite: Dangerous is the game I have wanted Frontier to make for a very long time," Braben explains on Kickstarter. "The next game in the Elite series - an amazing space epic with stunning visuals, incredible gameplay and breath-taking scope, but this time you can play with your friends too".

Fuck Israel
Would you expect the modern incarnation to be something akin to Wing Commander: Privateer? That's sort of what it sounds like to me...an EVE/Privateer hybrid would be the definition of epic.

I still believe they ran off the popularity of Star Citizen.

Oh hey they raised the money. I guess not everybody wants just another Call of Duty 18: Post-Modern Warrior 5 clone after all.
This game is so easy, even on hardest difficulty. Just keep the worlds on the edge of your controlled areas highly upgraded and reinforced, then send a modest fleet from planet to planet. The super star destroyer is basically a win button that needs no further help. Death Star's too risky to keep in hostile space for too long. Just leave a big walker on each conquered world and you're good to go.
Loving Dark Souls so much.
I love how it makes me rage-quit, but 10 minutes later I'm thinking of going right back on.

That game was such a let down. Came in expecting Total war type battles and ended up getting age of empires. Mostly my fault though for buying it based off of the name and WOM.unnamednewbie13 wrote:

I wasn't expecting Total War at all from a sci-fi game, and instead got a weird combination of Star Trek Armada with a campaign map and Force Commander.Macbeth wrote:

Two Dragonslayer Archers in Anor Londo, on the rooftops (Dark Souls).
I must have died over 10 times trying to get past that bit. Fuck that bit.
But now I have my Silver Knight's Spear

I meant total war in terms of scale not game play. Seeing the pics of huge fleets moving together I assumed you could also have a thousand+ storm troopers on screen running down some rebels.unnamednewbie13 wrote:

I suppose it helps that I bought the game for space combat rather than land, but I thought land was disappointing too. However, I just sent down Boba Fett and as many AT-AT's as I could possibly land to autimatically win any battle. The occasional TIE Mauler whatever-the-Empire's-flying-land-battle-things-are made some of the base-killing easy, since the AI seems to just say "fuck it" whenever it considers building any anti-air.
Been playing a bit of Civ V. Shits pretty dope.
Good way to waste 5 hours, lol.

"Waste" being the operative word.
