Metal Gear Solid

Ground Zeros? Actually a lot of fun! Not done it yet, but if this is any indication of how the main game is gonna be, it's gonna be great.

I was wondering how many of these in a row I could do before Ruki realized I was fucking with him.

Hey! Fellow cricket game fans! All three of you!

Don Bradman Cricket 14 comes out on 3rd/4th April, and its meant to be pretty good for an indy game. They've gone in with no licences but a HUGE downloadable database of user created teams, think WWE's community creations. I've heard numbers like 2,000 teams in the database at launch date from current day T20 league sides, international sides, county sides, vintage teams, everything. It also has the first single player career mode in a cricket game.

Can't be any worse than Ashes 2013, I suppose.

[Chris2K]

IGN managed to play a full 10 over game without huge glitches and animation failures, so it's already ahead.

For PC? I'll give it a go

[Chris2K]

My bad, PC's coming in June, PS3 and 360 in April.

So, managed to beat Ground Zeros in just over two hours, got a rank of C and no kills. Yay! But! Might do another playthrough where I kill everyone The ending cut scene is gross.

Decent amount of trophies and other missions to do.

Been playing Red Dead Redemption because I never did before. Fun game, glad there's a fast travel mechanic because otherwise I'd probably die of boredom riding between some of the towns in Mexico. Some things confuse me though. Like, for instance, there's a strangers mission where you can choose to either keep money for yourself or give it to the guy who gave you the quest. I assumed if I was to keep it for myself all I have to do is ride away, but then it tells me that I've failed the mission. Seems like the only way I could complete it was to give it to the guy, dunno if that's intentional or not. Kind of dumb if it is, to frame it like a choice and then tell you "whoops, nope, you failed" if you don't do what they want you to.

Doing one of the ops missions for Ground Zeros.....yay daytime! Also, boo my inability to stealth well. I think I might need to get rid of my 'don't kill anyone' code.

Perhaps the other choice was to shoot his face off?

[MalaCloudy Black]

It was just 'give him the money or don't', I figured since it was in the middle of a town if I shot the guy I'd get a bounty placed on me and I didn't wanna deal with that.

Does anyone know the game i'm thinking of: It was like an RTS-y type of fare where you were an...asian trading kind of thing. I know that's not much to go on, but any ideas?

[Plubby]

The more I think about it, the more it might have been a trading-based economy for a standard RTS. Trying my best to remember better info here.

[Benji]

Was it one of the Anno games?
