It was fun, but shit, it was one of the hardest games I've played. difficult to the point of headaches at times.

You are gonna love Exoddus.

It even harder?

EDIT: Also, how long would you say it is? it took me 21 hours to beat the first one (according to steam, so there might be some idle time in there)

never fast travel anywhere, you'll always run into pretty fun little miniquests when you just ride around between cities and missions

Yeah i've only fast traveled twice: once with a stagecoach just to see what's it like, and once with a campsite because it was 2am and I needed to get back to my house. I played for a while last night and got some new guns and shit, and between stumbling on a bunch of wild animals and shooting and skinning them all, random ? people giving me quests and fucking banditos harassing me, this game just sucks me in. I'm sure at some point the novelty will wear off, but I'm still just fucking dumbfounded by how awesome everything looks and how good it feels to just ride off into the brush.

I played a bit of multiplayer too and that seems pretty fun.

yes coulombs are "germaine", did you learn that word at talk like a dick school?

I'm playing Alpha Protocol. I don't know where all the bad reputation it has came from, it's pretty much great and I haven't run into any major bugs.

i think it's a bad gameplay game with good other parts or something. as in, the shooting system isn't very intuitive or visceral - something like that. i couldn't care less about that. i'm probably going to give alpha protocol a try pretty soon, i am thinking of getting a cheap used copy for the XBOX. i tried downloading it for my laptop but there was a glitch in it and it wouldn't go past the title screen, just looped back to the opening splash screen.

I have decided that the atmosphere in Crysis 2 is excellent but the story is nutsack.

I don't do multiplayer either.

Deus Ex 3 is so gonna be just as disappointing with its GLOWING LADDERS.

Gonna go cry now.

yeah, the bounty hunting side quests are by far my favorite. you can make tons of money if you capture them alive, too

Exoddus is probably as long if you just run past everything and save no mudokons but if you don't then maybe 2x to 3x as long. (There are 300 Mudokons in this one, but you now have the ability to have a group follow you instead of just one at a time.)

It does have a number of levels that are considerably harder than the hardest parts of the first game. Also there are a ton of secret areas (look for the bottles of Brew laying about the level) which are usually small but super hard.

In my opinion, Exoddus is the most fun of the two games so if you liked the first one then definitely try it.

Yeah I think I understated just how difficult it is even when compared to Oddysee. It's not just some areas. Like every single secret level is a 8-10 on the difficulty scale, even the ones at the start of the game. And sometimes Mudokons get killed while you're simply trying to survive, and yet there's a way to save all of them.

Brilliant game, definitely one of the very best of the PSX era, and it's too bad so few platformers of this type are being made these days.

I'm playing Max Payne for the third time. This game stands the test of time. Love the voice acting and the mafia humor.

And the vibrating beds.

they're apparently remaking abe's oddysee

HD remake
On January 31, 2011, Oddworld Inhabitants confirmed that a HD remake of Abe's Oddysee is being developed by UK studio, Just Add Water. The remix is described by series creator Lorne Lanning as "basically Abe's Oddysee being redone in a 3D physics engine as a 2D side-scrolling platformer," stating the developers "are not trying to reinvent any wheels." The game is scheduled to come out in early 2012, confirmed recently by Just Add Water on Twitter. No formats have been announced as of yet.[49]

Bought and completed Portal 2. It was totally worth the money and I haven't even tried the co-op yet.

Never seen a game with such detailed (and animated) level design. The puzzles towards the end are genuinely quite challenging and very satisfying indeed. The whole fluid rendering they have going on for different types of gel is really amazing.

Lives up to the hype.

If anyone would like to do co-op with me gimme a PM.

Portal 2. Fucking incredible so far and I'm barely 2 hours into the game.
