  • Hardcore Horde, Friday night, 11pm

  • Because playing them is not enough, we have to bitch about them daily, too. We had a Gameplay forum, but it got replaced by GameFAQs.

I might, depending on whether or not we can get a good group. Otherwise I'll probably be on SF4 or Persona.

I would buy it just to play with you all, but I'm afraid I would suck horribly just getting the game and waste your time, heh.

Tess, Chris, you in?

Louis - I would STRONGLY suggest you get some practice in before you try Hardcore Horde. But we'd love to have ya there if you really want a trial by fire........lots and lots of fire :-)

Louis I wouldn't recommend buying a game just for this... we only play every month or so. Not worth the $60 tag alone.

I should be able to attend sure... No more Psych anyway :(

That's 3 of us! Bovine, we need you, dammit! Chris, we could use some comic relief in between the endless swearing. Join us!

Yeah, I wasn't planning on buying this game until the price dropped to around the same as Halo 3 is now ($39.99). I'm not the greatest at FPS games using a dual analog controller.

That's good 'cause this one plays a bit different than an FPS. The first major difference with it being a third-person shooter :-)

Now that I stopped being a prick, the duck-and-cover system makes it play far differently than a standard FPS. So if you're not good at FPSs, it's not a big deal in this game. If anything, you don't have to force yourself to learn how to play it differently so it helps a bit. And hardocre-level Horde will require true co-op kinda like advanced L4D would.

But before you go into hardcore Horde - or multi - I'd suggesting playing the game through on at least Normal with a friend. You need to get used to the system and the intricacies of it before you face some real competition

I've played about halfway through the standard campaign with a friend on co-op. I have the first Gears of War but I haven't really sat down to play it much. And yeah, now that I think about it, is it third and not first. My bad, heh.

The second is just bigger and better. If you like Gears 1 you'll probably love Gears 2

Not to mention it has the second-best co-op mode ever (next to L4D)

Well, you'll obviously never be as good as me with the sniper rifle. Oh, sorry for being so rude. Have you heard how good I am with such a weapon?

I'll hop on tonight at 11pm EST and if we have enough to get a game going, great. If not, I may try to get a 3-player L4D going with Blotus if I can get my bud to join us

Sorry, Zoos. I spent most of my night talking about Street Fighter and a few minutes playing it. Next Friday it is!

Yeah none of you losers came except me and Zeus... we just spent 15 minutes making fun of canadians and then went our separate ways.

Very sorry I missed this. Didn't get home until near 1am. Nobody was on so I lost some Street Fighter matches.

Personally I totally forgot... and seeing as how Zeus didn't mention it at all this week since I think he might have too :P
