Serious Sam 3 looks good, rememeber playing the first one a long time ago

 

Not really a war game type person aside from maybe the old Quake 1 & 2, Doom 1,2 and 3, although Waiting for Darksiders 2 on the PS 3

I'm really out of touch with games at the moment, and with recent events its not been foremost on my mind either

I only recently discovered L4D and Portal!

Completed Portal and working my way through Portal 2...

L4D is more tricky due to the way you can only save progress at "safe houses" so really need a lot of time to play it to make headway - not easy with a 4 year old!

Might take a look at CoD once I'm back in work...

 

Used to be right into Counterstrike, but again life has moved on and since my Son arrived, gaming has really been on the back burner...

 

Until now! :)

What do the people who are ordering BF3 think about this...?

 

EA’s Origin EULA Proves Even More Sinister - Rock, Paper, Shotgun

 

As spotted by the canny denizens of the Escapist forum, there is a quite extraordinary clause in the EULA of EA’s new game service, Origin. One that may well make you think twice about letting the software on your PC. Under the title of “Consent to Collection and Use of Data”, the clause states that by installing Origin you are giving EA permission to “collect, use, store and transmit technical and related information that identifies your computer, operating system, Application usage (including but not limited to successful installation and/or removal), software, software usage and peripheral hardware.”

 

Which is to say, if you want to play Battlefield 3, or any other game that will require Origin to run, you’re going to have to agree to that.

 

[...]

 

What you’re agreeing to is for EA to have a free pass to scan your PC and gather absolutely anything it wants.

Deus EX: HR

Dark Souls

MGS HD Collection

 

The yearly cash cow war games, seem like they play no different from the last generic FPS the companies churned out I don't understand the fascination. Still boycotting all EA games.

Sickening. I know Steam collect hardware info only and that's only annually for their hardware surveys (to which they publish them results for everyone to view), but to effectively agree to EA scanning/collecting ANYTHING they want to? People should seriously consider this despite the crack addict-like urge to play BF3.

 

Maybe this should be discussed in depth in a new thread?

I generally dislike EA and the above will do nothing to help that.

 

Unfortunately Origin will be required for BF3 so I'm going to be suckered in regardless. I J'adore Steam as it goes, it really is a great application and I've never been messed around by Valve.

 

I'm assuming the software usage clause will be used to check for pirated EA games or to steal web history so they can adequately pump advertising to you through Origin.

Some good games I've not thought to look at there, thanks. Here's my t'penny's worth;

 

Deus Ex HR - was good fun, but some dissapointing moments.

Space Marine - One on the best polished games I have played in a long time, fantasic shooty/hacknslash

if they are going to continue to release content for co-op I am in in in!

Arma 3- wow! I din't know about this one, arma 2 was amazing. amaz-za-zing.

BF3 - this is going to be epic sauce, they always deliver, hope its not riddled with bugs on release day.

Mass Effect 3 - If you have not played through the other, then what the hell are you waiting for. This series is

excellent. Thick with plot and characters you will care for.

Skyrim - I am most excited about this game and the prospect of more Blood brotherhood quests. Gonna need a new

gfx card tho (550ti 1gb at the moment)

 

Can't think of much else. Prey 2 looked pretty cool.

 

edit:

 

MW3 will be pretty good, the single player tho and the co-op. The multi-player can 'deleted expletive'

very much looking forward to Star Wars The Old Republic. Are there any dedicated edugeek guilds?

 

Probably not at the moment but I'm on the look out for guilds for it. All my current work colleagues are expecting to play as Sith and I can't be having that!

Started playing dead island yesterday it seems pretty good. Playing it on the PC with an xbox pad and you really should switch your controller to analogue mode so you can direct your wepon hits to break arms and cut heads off better. Also playing rock of ages on the xbox arcade and Driver SF, both great fun!

let me know if you fancy doing co-op dead island as im nearing the end of the single player storyline but then want to go through it multiplayer just to have fun

Shooty games? On a pc? With a pad? Are you mad? ;)

 

As for EA's Origin, it is sickening. There are few times that I would encourage "being naughty", however in this instance and taking the moral high ground, I would be inclined to purchase the game and install a naughty copy.

However, that in itself is "legally questionable" purely because how that licence reads, Origin is part of it. There is no legal question or problem with using NAUGHTY things on games you have purchased (only if you make the NAUGHTY bits yourself). I really hope EA take a good hard look at themselves in the mirror sometime soon.

I didn't think that vampires could do that, isn't it one of the rules or something :)

I can't believe you people have enough time to look forward to new games - I think my Steam backlog from the last two sales is at least 2 dozen games. I only started Fallout 3 this week, ffs!
