What has everyone been playing this week?

[sj33]

Finally completed Resident Evil 6 last night. I have major issues with the game on many levels, but I feel genuine satisfaction that I've completed that beast of a game!

[dazza_cole]

Forza Horizon for what time I've had, working away or the next 2 weeks so the Vita is going to get a good airing

[briareos_kerensky]

Dark Souls, once again, Kokuga, and MechWarrior Online.

[dataDave]

Bayonetta and LoL.

[InvisibleKid]

Pokemon Black 2, Monster Hunter Tri G, Animal Crossing Jump Out
I'm really loving my 3DS LL

(Also a touch of Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 on my Vita - still love that game - need to pick up SFxT for Vita too now!)

I've been playing the HD re-release of Resident Evil: Code Veronica X on PS3. Excellent stuff.

I loved the game when it was first released on the Dreamcast, but I'm enjoying it even more this time. It really doesn't get the attention it really deserves. They actually 'fleshed out' the villains and gave them a real backstory. The whole story surrounding the Ashford family is genuinely interesting and gives the whole thing that bit more depth. Overall, it's just extremely well executed. A nice balance between the slight more 'B-movie' action focus of Resident Evil 2, yet with a return to the slightly more claustrophobic feel of the original game. REmake might be the best example of the Resident Evil formula, but this is probably a close second on my eyes.

The port is also very good. Appears to be natively HD. If the game is cropped, then I certainly can't notice it. After the recent mediocre attempts at HD re-releases from rival publishers like Konami, it's refreshing to play a HD re-release that does what it's supposed to.

I struggle with Code Veronica. Really like the game but just find it so hard. Lost everything on the plane when fighting the tyrant style monster.

Any tips?

Yes Mart just Bosh him off the Plane with the crate launcher thing, You have to do it quite a few times though. Whilst your waiting for it to be ready just keep moving and shooting him a bit before ramming him with the crate launcher then repeat until you have knocked him off. At least thats how i remember doing it but it's been a decade.

[PaTaito]

Been playing through Silent Hill book of memories on vita, and a little AC3 on vita.

Liking silent hill even though it shouldnt be called that. Its pin sharp visually so its refreshing in that sense, and not a bad dungeon crawler really.

AC3 is a nice game but imo a visual letdown.

Just about to carry on with dishonored after only putting in an hour on release day.

Agreed. To me the best Resident Evil game ever, and definitely the last that had good writing.

HALO 4
Lego Star Wars : Clone wars
Borderlands (god damn the underdome dlc is boring)
Curiosity - mainly for doodling pictures of genitalia.

[J0e Musashi]

I finished Dante's Inferno. I've been playing it for two years. Not bad.

Is RE:CVX got as much content/length as RE2? I never really got on with RE:CVX, but would be willing to give it another stab.
What the hell is going wrong with quoting? It ain't working for me guvnaaaaaaa

[sj33]

The single scenario in Code Veronica is longer than Resident Evil 2, though if you add up the four different (albeit similar) scenarios in Resident Evil 2, it's probably longer overall. It's definitely worth another go if you like the classic Resident Evil formula.
