WRUP: E3 post-party DLC

by Alexander Sliwinski on Jun 10th 2011 11:00PM

Hey, thanks to everyone who could stop by for Joystiq's reader meet-up. To celebrate, we'll be providing free articles about E3 all weekend. Yup, in appreciation for your showing up, we're providing the digital download of articles at no extra cost. The same great coverage you enjoyed all week continues through the weekend.

What's everyone playing?

Alexander Sliwinski (@XanderSliwinski): Will be getting back into Dawn of War 2 co-op and starting the Chaos Rising expansion. Oh yeah, and writing a lot.
Ben Gilbert (@BigBossBgilbert): After a week in Los Angeles, I'm just as excited as ever to jump back into LA Noire. And to not be in real Los Angeles.
Christopher Grant (@ChrisGrant): Tonight, I'll be hitting the hottest party in LA – the Joystiq Reader Meetup! We'll have a ton of incredible indie games and, because everyone knows indie game fans can bust a move, we'll have Dance Central 2 for them to show off their moves.
David Hinkle (@DaveHinkle): I'll be playing this hot new game called Sleep as Much as Humanly Possible. I'll be going for the high score this weekend.
Griffin McElroy (@griffinmcelroy): Gonna dip my toes into Child of Eden once I get home -- til' then, it's all Final Fantasy VII and Ocarina of Time 3D.
JC Fletcher (@jcfletcher): I'm playing ALL THE HOTTEST GAMES at the JOYSTIQ READER MEETUP, which is TONIGHT in LOS ANGELES. Have you heard about our JOYSTIQ READER MEETUP? We're going to have ALL THE HOTTEST GAMES. That's AT LEAST SIX GAMES.
Justin McElroy (@JustinMcElroy): I've got a plane ride, so I'm going to keep heading through Dangerous High School Girls in Trouble. Yeah, it's called that. Screw you.
Ludwig Kietzmann (@LudwigK): I'll be hanging out with Mr. Dave Hinkle, so ... Dead or Alive 4. YES.
Mike Schramm (@MikeSchramm): After hearing about Dust 514 at E3 (preview coming soon, I promise), I'm planning on stepping back into EVE Online. Also working on finishing LA Noire.
Randy Nelson (@DangerPenguin): Well, I beat Duke Nukem Forever, so I guess I've just about done it all.
Richard Mitchell (@SenseiRAM) I am super pumped to play Dance Central 2 at the Joystiq reader meetup tonight. And Spy Party, for sure. Perhaps I'll sacrifice my battery by playing The Witcher (the first one) on the plane ride back home.
Steven Wong: I'll probably randomly pick from the games I have installed but haven't finished yet. However, have been meaning to put more time into Section 8: Prejudice.

Shank, its surprisingly awesome and on sale on psn.

Just some VVVVVV and Killzone 3 for me this weekend

Exams coming up, so: absolutely nothing.

Playing an old text MUD that I played as a kid, actually. Good times. =P

Also replaying the masterpiece known as Final Fantasy XIII.

@Ezio Auditore da Firenze
Does FF13 get better eventually? I'm still on the beginning.

@bloodlinejake

Definitely. You just have to keep going, even if it hurts. I know that doesn't sound flattering, but when you hit that moment when the battle system is fleshed out and you feel like you know what you're doing, the game really shines.

@Ezio Auditore da Firenze

They shut my MUD down and I haven't played one in years. Just out of curiosity, what do you play?

@Ezio Auditore da Firenze

I think you're misusing the word masterpiece

I won a free 3DS recently, but have no games, so I'll be trying to get over the fact that apparently I can't use existing Nintendo points to make a downloadable purchase.

In the mean time I never did finish Rogue Leader on the GCN. . .hmmm. . . .

Super Street Fighter IV: Arcade Edition and Monday Night Combat! Anger city!

2 accounts on my PS3 = 4 free games. Mostly playing Infamous, which is just like Crackdown, but more tolerable. I'm addicted to collecting shit in sandbox games.

@MLS

how can that be, its only 2 PER console... not per account. Trust me i tried.

@PR0F3TA
It's true! I did it. Did you make the 2nd account before the outage? Did each account have a separate email and full name / address?
Maybe that helped.

Infamous! Surprised?

Dynasty Warriors 7 and high gravity beer!

@Frostblade10
Alan wake with plain ole beer.

Ghost Recon 3DS, maybe some Lego Star Wars 3DS too.

gonna finish undead nightmare up then start crysis 2

No More Heroes 2 again. Money is even more pointless in the second playthrough, as all the swords you purchased carried over, and so many of the clothes are pointless or stupid (even by "dress your game character" standards)

Getting back into Final Fantasy XIII. I can't look at any trailers or know anything about FF XIII X2 until I beat that bad boy. Also some dream:scape on iOS which reminds me of Shadow of Memories.

@Hong Dong dude i just got bought it! 14.99 @ Blockbuster. This is my first RPG so i am alittle intimidated.The menu sucks though but im still trying it out. Im more of a sandbox type of dude but gonna give this a chance. Versus looks sweet though.

Finally finished the original Dragon Age for the first time. Yeah, I'm a little late.

@343 Guilty Fart

Is it good? I bought it when the ultimate edition came out last year and I only played about an hour of it? I'm considering getting back in to it, but there's that ever growing list of "other games" to beat still...

Man I need to nerd less...

@(Unverified) I really really enjoyed it. I was never a huge fan of the old Baldur's Gate style RPGs, but for some reason, Dragon Age just really grabbed me. I would honestly rank it in my top 20, maybe 15 games ever.

Demon's Souls.

Did I say Demon's Souls? I really meant to say dying over and over and over again. Yeah, that's the game I'll be playing.

@Puertoricarious

Get a shield with high guard break and manage your stamina smartly! You'll be okay.

Bout to finish inFamous 2. After that, I'll go back finish Crysis 2.

@MLC

Re: Infamous 2, that was quick. How was it?

Just finished LA Noire (horrible ending). Probably play some saints row 2/army of two 40th day/portal kombat/castlevania resurrection dlc/acb da vinci dlc,

@QuePasa87

tell me more about this....portal kombat.....

About the only thing that I'm playing right now is Super Stardust. That game is as addictive as Geometry Wars. Now that I'm thinking about it, I might just give Dead Nation a whirl. I haven't played that game in months and I've still yet to beat it. Also, I'm thinking about going to see Super 8. The trailers look awesome, but some of the reviews that I've read make it seem as if the movie's a little disjointed.

BTW, I have to say that Dragon Crown is my Game of the Show. Anything by Vanillaware is a winner in my book. I am sooo looking forward to that game.

EarthBound.

Holy fuzzy pickles, this game is simply awesome!

Little King's Story!

Portal 2

finally finished AC:B and got around to Castlevania: Lords of Shadow..it's awesome...

Jagged Alliance 2 with the 1.13 mod, kickass!

Ok guys so I picked up Final Fantasy 13 ( my first RPG)....so wish me luck..I'm already stuck though on chapter 4!!...battling Lightnings Oldion or something lke that......man this game is pretty...I really wanna get into cause I know thier greatbut the UI menu is so complicated...we'll see

Last weekend of my school year. Determined to get a bunch of LA Noire in between studying. Also started playing Oblivion tonight.

I was determined to chase a wild deer, so I hunted it with fireballs into a deep forest. As my shitty PC crippled under the weight of rendering so much forest, the bastard evaded me. As I walked back to find Joffrey, I found a cool shrine. Skyping with a friend who told me to examine ut. It gave me some insanely awesome flame armor and flame sword. Murdered cave of nearby wolves, then knocked out Joffrey and friends, then it wore off, and Priest Joffrey got up and pulled a sword on me. Instant death :( But it was AMAZING

GTA IV. Yes I am late to the party.

BLOPS maps and double XP weekend....

Sad, I know...

Other than pwning noobs in Black Ops cause of Double XP/Nuketown 24/7

- Red Dead Redemption (also Undead Nightmare)
- Fable 3 (started it and can't believe I have to play this game again)

I payed off Battlefield 3 and MW3 so I'm kinda stoked when those games come out ..No other games at the moment tho I would like to pre-order as of right now

Wish I could have made it to the reader meet-up, if for no other reason than to prove that I'm more in tune and funny than my crappy articles I wrote in my application let on.

Other than that, I'll be playing some old NES games or some old DS games, as I'm stuck in a hotel without any mainstay major consoles with me. Probably going to continue to try to beat Ninja Gaiden (the original). Been working on that mofo for a decade or two now. I think when I finish it I'll commit suicide.

May try to find some good android games.

Wow, this comment did nothing to reinforce either the ideas that I'm in tune or funny.

I've been saying it for months now, but I've finally gotten back to playing KOTOR, and man, I love it as much as I ever did. Red Faction Armageddon also came in from gamefly, and I was pleasantly surprised. Sometimes I really think having terrible expectations for a game can make me enjoy it a lot more. I have to say though, it's fun to crush aliens with support beams and crystals, but I really, really miss toppling down massive bridges, towers, and offices corner by corner.

@TheDarkWayne God I miss KOTR. HK-47 is one of my favorite characters ever. This meatbag could definitely play that again.

@TheDarkWayne

"Sometimes I really think having terrible expectations for a game can make me enjoy it a lot more"

ding ding ding ding ding!!!

to bad this site hypes everything up.

@Hong Dong I make it a point to beat it again at least once every year, and it seems like every time, I always find hilarious new lines from HK. Last time I played, I talked to the peace loving assassin droid in the tomb of marka ragnos, and when he said he found value in all life, HK told him that was terribly sad.

Just spent the last six hours at a friend's house getting acclimated to Mortal Kombat on my MadCatz TE. As everyone in the fighting community can well attest to, the most fun you can possibly have with the genre is jamming with friends and practicing new combos on each other. Online play is so faux pas.

Trying to finish Infamous (got on disc) before I tackled Infamous 2, but it's sorta tough at the moment. Also, doing L.A. Noire's DLC cases and hopefully finishing up Bulletstorm. And Mighty Flip Champs on DSiWare for 3DS....I may also get Shantae: Risky's Revenge as well.

It depends on how many people are visiting.

Alone: LA Noire
1 visitor: Dead Nation, Lara Croft, Soldner-X 2
2-3 visitors: Worms Armageddon, Little Riddle

Nope, 2 per acc.
I got all 5 :)
