So whats everybody think of RB6:Vegas?

Post by **o'dium** » Tue Oct 24, 2006 4:27 pm

Game of the year? Maybe! Gears Of War REALLY needs to be something special as much as I think it will rock... Damn, Vegas fucking owns though...

And I haven't even played the new Splinter Cell yet... Oh the 360 has sexy sexy shit out...

Post by **CitizenKane** » Tue Oct 24, 2006 4:29 pm

i really wana get a 360... im not exactly rolling in the dough at the moment but i suppose its only more or less the same price as a couple of nights out on the piss so wud almost certainly be worth it

Get one, fantastic machines, dont listen the the sony tripe (As in its just not that powerful, lol, which is utter bollocks).

Anyway I haven't smilked as much as I did playing RB6:Vegas since, well, ages ago on a game. I walked away up to the door and said "breach and clear" in my head and laughed... Fucking ownage game. Really liked the fact I can repel down the side of a building, jump away, shoot the glass and dive in attacking if i want, Die Hard style

Oh man, I gotta get me some more money...

360 is ownage, especially with a live account. get one if youre into teh consoles

Post by **CitizenKane** » Tue Oct 24, 2006 4:45 pm

i only own two consoles right now, n64 (good for novelty gaming at this stage really) and my PS2, the only truly great games i have for are the GTA series. im really into the idea of online-console gaming, so fucking tempted to get one of these now!

Post by **o'dium** » Tue Oct 24, 2006 4:51 pm

Yeah you really would have to be a muppet to be a 360 and NOT take it online with Live!, its just such a great service...

Well... Apart from when you play online PGR with my friend, and he screams down the mic "MATT DAMOOOOOOOON!!!" every time you over take him...

I gave him bad feedback for it, the faggot... He came knocking on my door screaming at me for it when i told him

Ahhhh... Memories...

And for those of you who get RB6:V, and a Live! vision camera, you can ONLY use faces on the face mapper, nothing else, because it checks for facial details...

HOWEVER...

If you draw a face on your ass, or balls, you CAN actually trick it into mapping them ingame...

Oh, this will be fun...

they're making a new rainbow brite?

Post by **xer0s** » Tue Oct 24, 2006 7:43 pm

I have a confession. I've never really tried out the Tom Clancy games. I really want to try one out. What's the difference between Rainbow Six and Splinter Cell? Will they both have the same type of gameplay?

Story, and gameplay.

Rainbow Six was born as a tactical simulation. It wasn't a "game" it wasn't supposed to be "here, plan out your mission, kit out your men, and take on the situation". These days its more about plonking you in the middle of it and giving you a mission but the same basic thing is there; You start, and you have to reach you goal, which may be killing the torrorists, or it may be saving hostages, or it may be getting in/out without being seen. Ghost Recon kinda branches from RB6 in a way.

Splinter Cell is a different baby however. You play one guy every time, Sam Fisher. Your missions are usually steal based, as in, you get in, you do your objectives,and you get out. If nobody sees you, amazing, you did your bit, if they do, silence them and make sure nobody sees you doing it. Later games have taken more of a spin on things, adding extra action bits. The new one is the best of the series, with some really intense action bits.

Splinter Cell, more so in the case of the newest one, plays more like a "movie", with a "plot" and key charecters.

They are both awesome games, except Splinter Cell has always too kthe crown, because to be fair, Rainbow Six games in recent years have... Well... Blown, to be fair. However Vegas is such a good game, it ranks up there with the new Splinter Cell, maybe even higher than it.

I always liked the Metal Gear Solid games. So it sounds like Splinter Cell would be up my alley a bit more than RS. Is there a Double Agent demo out yet?

very much no. its made by the same people who made Pandora Tomorrow and it shows.
Chaos Theory is still where its at.
not saying Double Agent is bad, its just not a step in the right direction

Only a MP demo out

I never completed Rainbow 6 or Rogue spear, though I got that compilation pack with all the goodies in it 5+ years ago.

Come to think, I'm wearing the t-shirt I got with it now

Great games but once you put them down they're daunting to pick back up again.

I really like the trust meter... I find it adds an additional element the previous splinter cells didn't have.

Post by **MKJ** » Tue Oct 24, 2006 9:13 pm

yea sort of. im also SO glad they re-implemented the instant mission failure element

OOPS some dude saw you using a gadget, doesnt matter if you have 100% trust, you're game over! annoys me.

and the soundmeter should be in there too

Post by **shaft** » Tue Oct 24, 2006 9:20 pm

I thought you said the demo was on XBL today? I havnt seen it.

If that's you, then just register a new Silver account and designate your locale as something other than US mainland.

Yeah haven't really gotten too far yet so haven't come across that stuff. Guess it makes sense though if you were to get caught by the terrorists it's game over cause they'd instantly know you're not on their side anymore making it impossible for the story to progress... more of a situational thing it sounds like.

we have to get it thru OXM or wait a month.

I think its to much like GRAW. Seems like all they did was put it in Vegas and give you some new moves.

So whats everybody think of RB6:Vegas?
