So, I know that I'm a bit behind, but I'm just now starting Until Dawn. About two hours in and it's awesome. It's pretty fitting due to the cold environment and the current time of the year. I had originally wanted to play it around Halloween time when a lot of people seemed to be doing their playthroughs, but I think now is possibly even a more fitting time with the cold weather. Looking forward to seeing how this game turns out, and how drastic the multi-path mechanics are.
Does this game have crazy replay value, or is it not as much as the game makes it seem?
Also, this game looks damn good.
Definitely has great replay value.
I loved how the camerawork was reminiscent of the old Resident Evil and fixed camera angles of that era. It's proof that style can still work when done well like this.

It has been a heck of a few months for me as I have finally moved out with my fiance and suprisingly despite being so busy with school, work and moving..the gaming has been great...recently beat a link between worlds (awesome as heck) and picked up a wii and just beat super paper mario..
I need a game to play until mario and luigi paper jam gets out but I am conflicted between:
Chrono Cross (all time favorite game ) Majoras Mask 3ds Skyward Sword (with the snazzy gold wii controller)
I am not sure if I can invest time in a big grand tale although I guess my options are limited..has anyone played skyward sword and would recommend it? I am really leaning towards it
Skyward Sword is pretty divisive. I adore it. Some people loathe it.
Either way, if you're not prepared for a big game, you should be warned Skyward Sword is the longest game in the Zelda series. It took me like 40 hours to beat.
Skyward Sword is probably my third or fourth favorite of the series. I thought the game was fantastic. It is super long, though. It didn't take me quite 40 hours, but it was probably around 35 hours.
Playing through Random Access Memories, a pseudo retro cyberpunk adventure game in the same vein as Snatcher. Feels more like a visual novel than an adventure game, but I really like the aesthetic, soundtrack, and characters. It's a very charming game. ^_^
Fallout 3 This will be probably my fourth attempt to play this game; the farthest I've made it before is 3 hours. I'm coming off my New Vegas high and am itching for a bit more Fallout, but don't want to pay $60 for Fallout 4.
Impressions thus far: 3 runs smoother than New Vegas, despite having essentially the same graphics. I think this is entirely due to optimization - New Vegas, great as it is, was a sloppy port and every version is chock full of bugs.
The beginning sequence seems very unnecessary. An unceremonious character creation phase followed by a dump into the wasteland would have been preferable. I don't care about mom or dad, whom I only see for about 5 minutes total. If it weren't for the bobbleheads the prelude would be entirely a waste of time.
Ah, maybe once I get outside the vault and the world opens up I'll stop griping.

Yeah the intro to 3 can be kind of slow and the main quest is pretty meh. I would advise you to just do the first quest once you get out of the vault and then start exploring at your leisure. Also the game ends if you finish the main quest and don't have the Broken Steel expansion.
Another thing to avoid is the DLC. In my opinion they aren't to hot especially Mothership Zeta which is a drag and has some annoying glitches that will trap you permanently on the ship unless you are playing on the PC and can access the console to reset some of the assets or teleport yourself around. About the only DLC worth checking out is Point Look Out which actually has a nice pretty open map with quite a bit of content to explore.

I've got the GOTY version, so every DLC in included. Looking around online, it looks like Broken Steel and Point Look Out are the only ones that were received well, as you said.
TBH, I haven't had too many good experiences with DLC, regardless of game or genre. Expectations are low, and if I have a good time, that's just a bonus to me.

I like the intro, but it doesn't serve a lot of purpose, I'll agree. Once you get into the meat of the game, though, you'll love it. I MUCH preferred it to New Vegas (although I still absolutely adored New Vegas). As for the DLC, I liked all of it, but Mothership Zeta was definitely....interesting.
-Machine Hunter PS1- Like Loaded, Like Zombies ate my Neighbors plus hijacking machines to become more powerful?
-NFS III Hot Pursuit PS1- Tied w/ Underground 2 as the only NFS to own.
-ESPN Xtreme PS1- Road Rash mixed with skateboards,Bikes,Blades and luge. Did you know you can upgrade equipment, that's how this game shines. Unnecessary objects do suck However. Lol
-Mega Man X Command Missions GC/Wii- MM RPG by former Breath of Fire Team.. Wut!!
-Escape From Bug Island- Honey I shrunk the kids and put them in a Japanese B grade survival horror.
On ice atm: COD Ghost/BLOPS II & EDF Insect Armageddon (360)
If you can see the future while remembering the past, you may just have control of the present.
Right now, I'm juggling Corpse Party (PSP, but it's downloaded on my Vita), Killzone: Liberation (PSP), Earth Defense Force 2: Invaders from Planet Space (Vita), If My Heart Had Wings (Steam), and Project Zero 2: Wii Edition (Wii, obviously).
We (I) need more info on EDF for the Vita, how's it stand against console?
I did confirm it has ad hoc mode, letting me and my wife play on our own screens/consoles which is a gigantic plus. I know the consoles have online but my wife would need to buy a gold membership just to play, wish they would patch system link on 360.
