I played about half of Jade Empire. It was a kick to relive some of the memories of the game, but I'm not sure I'm going to bother finishing it. I've already played it through 3 times, and the combat is just so uninteresting, it's hard to stay engaged.

Started up Oblivion. I'm in the sewers now, about to emerge into the daylight. Again, it's been a kick to boot up an ancient game like this and see it again, but I don't think I'm up for a full playthrough. I mean, we're talking 100+ hours of my time, invested in a game I've already played.

I feel the same about Morrowind. It's very cool to see it in action again, after all these years, and the visual enhancements are impressive. But I can't see myself spending 100 - 200 hours working my way through the game again. It is an awfully large time investment. I may fiddle with it here and there, just for nostalgia's sake, but I doubt I'm going to do a serious playthrough.

At this point, the main BC game I'm looking forward to playing is Halo: CE. Still waiting on that 4K/HDR patch.
 
Yeah, I generally feel the same way about older games that I've already played. Too many games I missed from last gen/new games I want to play to really care about playing through games I've already beaten. Right now, I'm only interested in KOTOR (never finished), Ninja Gaiden Black (never finished) and Jade Empire (never played) from the OG set. I replayed the first 5 or so missions from Crimson Skies but since I had already beaten it, my interest waned. I have around 50 games in my backlog (and growing) so no time man, no time.

Gameplay wise, it's much better than Conviction, but still isn't as good as Chaos Theory. Story wise, it's the worst of the bunch. I know it's not Ubi's fault that Ironsides had cancer and didn't want to do Sam Fisher, but the new guys voice doesnt fit very well. There are times where he calls home to Sarah, and she sounds older tuan he does. But the writing is the biggest culprit. His character is nothing like Sam Fisher in all the previous games. He does things that Sam never would have done and the story can get cringy at times.

But the coop is a lot of fun and the game play is definitely better than Conviction.

I wish legend would go gold. I played the demo a lot as a kid (no money so free stuff was cool) and have a very strange fondness for that first level.

Now I have money, I just don't wanna spend it on a nostalgia trip.

Played MW2 with some friends last night. First few matches were fun, then it turned into every team we play ran around with tubes and One Man Army perk. One of my most frustrating things in COD history.
 
THQ buying Kingdoms of Amalur does that mean we could possibly get it as BC? I hope so I have it digitally and never finished it on 360. Great game.

Hope so. Accidentally bought this game a while back thinking it was already BC. Still waiting to try it out.
 
I would s*** if they made ghost recon 2/summit strike BC. I can play them on my 360 (which i'm actually doing for summit strike) but i wanna take screenshots and record my superbly tactical gameplay.

Oh wait salvatore died again
