flameboy Posted March 29, 2009 Posted March 29, 2009 lol yeah MGO is a different kinda beast....depends tho sometimes if you play with people who just run and gun like nutters it can be fun but that doesn't work if people are playing stealthy and taking up good positions.
dwarf Posted March 29, 2009 Posted March 29, 2009 ^ For that reason I didn't like MGO - too much time spent doing nothing and very laggy.Forgot all the CQC controls too.
Cookyman Posted March 29, 2009 Posted March 29, 2009 Well I decided to give SOCOM a go this morning. I'd only played for about 10 minutes when I first got it. I'm really impressed it's really hardcore and unforgiving but I managed to make a couple of kills so was pleased with that. I think if a few of us PS3 owners got this title we could get some practice in and maybe even form a clan. The PS headset really comes into it's own in this game it's crystal clear also another cool feature is you can hear the enmy chatting if your close enough to them (you hear them through the TV).
dwarf Posted March 29, 2009 Posted March 29, 2009 It seems like a really cool game, proper tactical stuff - would be satisfying to make a kill I imagine.
dwarf Posted March 29, 2009 Posted March 29, 2009 I'm not buying any fighting games for PS3 apart from Tekken 6, so it'll be a while I imagine. I suppose I should give others a chance but I just think the art style is great, the characters are awesome and I have fond memories of playing the third on the PS1 with my cousin
MATtheHAT Posted March 30, 2009 Posted March 30, 2009 Phew, just had a weekend in Harrogate and drunk my own bodyweight in ale. Anyways, these themed nights sound good. It gives everyone a chance to get in on the action. Just decide on the day which game to play with the numbers available. Also good to see Socom - a PS3 exclusive - getting some support.:awesome:

MATtheHAT Posted March 30, 2009 Posted March 30, 2009 You should have said you were here! No one ever comes to my humble town lol!!!! Did not know you were from Harrogate mate? Yeah a friend of mine can get cheap Hotel rooms and all food and drink half price in Holiday Inn. Did a mini pub crawl, went to one called 'Rehab' then down to a sort of Rock Bar, then did a couple more including Wetherspoons before ending up in a little Nightclub. Really enjoyable, nice area and people. Also tried Queing to get into 'Aunt Betty's Tea Rooms' for some Tea and Cake Sunday morning, but it was swamped with Blue Rinse's lol.

Ahh you did the thing every visitor does and tried to get in Betty's lol! You didn't miss much its an absolute rip off... Rock bar I'm guessing was Monty's? Go down like 3 steps to get into it? DUnno what small night club you will have ended up up, revolution/viper rooms or moko are only ones round that area. Not the best for clubs since Ministry of Sound and Jimmy's closed...

Good night out, not the biggest obviously but enjoyable nonetheless. Anyway, sooooooo, we have 'Modern Warfare' Fridays, what about 'Chequered Flag' Sundays? Incorperating Burnout Paradise, Motorstorm, Wipeout HD and any other racing games?

Incorperating Burnout Paradise, Motorstorm, Wipeout HD and any other racing games? Yeah you've got your geography correct... I was thinking for Saturday's how about a Casual night...most people are out Saturday or busy, so a more casual focus would work...I'm LBP, Buzz (who else apart from me has it?!) any other suggestions that would fit into this?
tapedeck Posted March 30, 2009 Posted March 30, 2009 I've got Buzz I'll try to make Saturday night fellas
flameboy Posted March 30, 2009 Posted March 30, 2009 I know I suggested it lol but on Saturdays I won't be around until like 10 but defo up for some Buzz...never played online with friends...
dwarf Posted March 30, 2009 Posted March 30, 2009 Suggestion: don't play against each other in Socom - it is boring! Only go in as a team otherwise it doesn't work.
MATtheHAT Posted March 30, 2009 Posted March 30, 2009 Suggestion: don't play against each other in Socom - it is boring! Only go in as a team otherwise it doesn't work. Did you not like it? I thought that little game we had was fun. Me and Deathjamm laying in ambush for you two was pretty tense, Cooky commiting suicide was also a particular highlight. Maybe try some smaller maps if its just small team games? But this is what SOCOM is all about, stealth and tactics.
dwarf Posted March 30, 2009 Posted March 30, 2009 I know but it never really felt like I was going to find anyone, so I decided to just run around in the middle of the streets trying to find someone - which obviously doesn't work - but is more interesting than doing jack all. I don't think there is a more 'hardcore' shooter out there. Edit: Choze it's fine with Killzone 2 but we were playing on a massive map with only 4 players.
dwarf Posted April 2, 2009 Posted April 2, 2009 (edited) Everyone get online then ! Edit: that was the worst clan match ever... We sucked! Edited April 2, 2009 by dwarf
LegoMan1031 Posted April 5, 2009 Author Posted April 5, 2009 I have decided to alter the first post to only show organised game nights when we have actually decided we are going to have them kinda thing. Any nights this week ppl want to play some online games?
dwarf Posted April 5, 2009 Posted April 5, 2009 Hmmm well I really don't mind playing anything as long as people mention it, I thought the specialised nights was a good idea as well. I'm up for KZ later if anyone else is on.

The Lillster Posted April 7, 2009 Posted April 7, 2009 What times everyone on Killzone tonight? I'll be on at around 22:30 - 23:30
flameboy Posted April 7, 2009 Posted April 7, 2009 I'll perhaps come on after the football has finished.
flameboy Posted April 12, 2009 Posted April 12, 2009 Yeah worth a go...going to have a movie day today but reckon will fit in some gaming along the way.
