So those guys Nordic Games, who bought the rights to Red Faction & Darksiders, are coming out with Collections for both, sadly only on last-gen consoles instead of PS4 and Xbox One which would have been cool.

But, the Red Faction Collection doesn't include Red Faction 2....the fuck?

I never played a Red Faction game. Is this disappointing? What that the best in the series or something?

Honestly, Red Faction 1 is still my favorite, because it was similar to something like Half Life.

Red Faction 2 wasn't nearly as good, and was more of an arcade style shooter....but still a decent game at the time.

Red Faction 3 switched to 3rd-person open world. I liked it quite a bit.

And Red Faction 4 I've only played a bit of, but doesn't seem as good as 3. They seem to have gotten rid of the open world, but its still 3rd-person, and they tried incorporating a horror element into it.

By quality, I'd say it goes 1, 3, 2, then 4. I just hate how almost every collection that comes out is missing a game or two. I wonder if they lost the code like SEGA with some of their Saturn games?

I have been playing:

  • Far Cry 3  Far Cry 3 50ac6558f49193258c3b66a2

Finished it the other day. Damn fine game...one of the best FPS of the last 5 years. Highly recommended. In fact, of all the Far Cry/Crysis games, the only game I would put ahead of this one is Crysis 1 (and the Warhead side story).

  • Mario Kart 8 Mario Kart 8 5360f758005b76d450a29e44

Best one in the series. Finally a sense of real speed and traction! I guess its about done...I finished all the races in 50c cup and it doesn't seem like beating 100c or 150c opens up anymore tracks.

  • Jak & Daxter HD jak%20and%20daxter%201.jpg

Its funny....I played nearly every major game that came out back in the PS2 era across all systems. Usually, as soon as they came out...I was much like Vader back then, blazing through games like so much pasta. Including Jak 2 & 3. But this original game, which was one of the first big games on the PS2? Nope...never touched it. Basically because I always thought it was just Sony's ripoff of Banjo & Kazooie. I looked at it and said "Oh...main character with a funny little sidesick? Where have I seen THAT before?" and just totally wrote it off.

Now I'm finding that the game wasn't the ripoff I thought, and in fact has its own take and charms on the genre. Really liking it so far...it holds up incredibly well for a 14 year old game. I wanted to play something different after all the open world action games of late, and this is just what I needed. The fact that games like this, and of this quality FOR games like this, don't really get made anymore, make it probably feel less dated than it would otherwise...kind of like playing an insanely good REmake style horror game. Having a great time with this old classic.

I wonder if losing code is just an excuse or if it's really as common as they say. It's a little worrisome if that's the case. Kingdom Hearts 1, Harvest Moon 64, couple Sega games. I would think that stuff would be locked in a vault or backed up a dozen times or something.

I know...I don't see how any professional company could let this happen....let alone a company like SEGA.

I've only been playing Skyrim this weekend.

skyrim orc

Skyrim is awesome. For the first 9 levels, I've been playing my Orc character with a primary focus on two-handed hammers ("Orc smash!"), and heavy steel armor. Having had my ass handed to me on many occasions, I have decided to switch gears, ditching the slow hammer for a two-handed Orc Greatsword, an Orc bow with Orc arrows, and much lighter and quieter leather armor. I'm also building up my character's stealth ability, which was almost nonexistent before. My Orc can now run twice as fast as before, for about twice as long, and he can be quite stealthy when careful, but can still deliver devastating blows with both the sword and bow. I love that this game allows you to switch gears in the middle like that without having to start over from scratch. Happy

BTW, that pic above is not my character. I really wish I could take in-game pics on my PS3 like I do with my PS4. Sad

Mighty No. 9 getting into the absurd. Infaune you are abusing the system.

He is asking for more money now for extra shit, not even for this cartoon BS that came out of nowhere.

http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=850151

Just make the game, get money later.

I've been playing a little bit of a bunch of games such as CoD Ghosts, Forza 5, Peggle 2, and Guacamelee. I was playing a bunch of Max Curse of Brotherhood last week and finished it just before the weekend, pretty cool and fun game.

Good planning guys. Nyaa

Well ultros has a restriction on new characters, Jenova does not. Jenova wins. Plus I like Jenova better as a character, awesome battle music.

I think we all are, I still would like to see you guys. So I am thinking of going tank which is the most complex of the bunch and the leaders in raids. They are always in need which means no waiting for parties. I have no clue what I am doing, I will get many parties killed, and I refuse to talk to anyone. Should be great. Nyaa
