Inspiration taken from the PS3 Gamers Unite thread by Huge Nine Bud.

Just thought this would be a good place to share gamertags and any stories/interests that are going our way currently!

Personally I am looking forward to the new Gears of War and remake of Halo 1 for the 10th year anniversary.

Currently my GT is IV Razorback VI but subject to change, or even cancellation of account entirely as I seem to be moving over to PC gaming (for which I have also made a thread :))

My gamertag is Backtroller but I rarely go and play online. I'm currently replaying Mass Effect 2.

This does bring about a question about video games and morals. With the Mass Effect games you have dialog options for Paragon/Renegade. I find it very hard to play the Renegade options as they just don't feel right to me. I actually feel bad to the NPC I do the Renegade to. I guess this means I am a naturally good person

:smile:

Does anyone else have this same issue?

Skiar I loved your post for 2 reasons. The first is obvious, you are a genuinely nice person who deserved to be treated back as such. The second, God Damn Bioware is a good developer don't you think? If they can make their games give real life choices that actually question yourself and make you consider who you are as a human being?

Makes me look forward to SWTOR more :p

I don't have a 360 but I feel the same way when I play Fallout 3 Sklar, it's really hard for me to dick NPCs over. I can't really think of a time where I was bad. I guess that means I am a good person, or I understand that is a game but I still care about being good so the environment doesn't affect me in a real way. I mean, I can only hope that if I find myself in a post apocalyptic nuclear wasteland with giant bugs and mutants that I will act so kindly.

I've known this since playing KOTOR as a kid. Bioware is best for making you realise who you are. You get clearly defined choices as to who you are, and sometimes you just cant make certain decisions. Even if they mean nothing to you.

Love KOTOR. Although the first one you couldn't really end up being bad as the Jedi council fixed that for Revan. If you want some fun, play that game again but name yourself Revan. LOL

The second one, I've got to say, if I had a Jedi boyfriend, Atton Rand would be it. That entire game is a blast. I hope more come out along those lines.

I liked SW: The Force Unleashed. Not a whole hell of a lot in character developement but a fun mindless way to kill some time. The sequel was disappointing in that it was WAY to short in game play. SPOILER ALERT...,,

I think Starkiller in the second game is the original Starkiller, not a clone like the sub-plot was leading up to. Everyone knows that you can't clone a Jedi, the force won't allow it. My view is reinforced with the Dark Jedi ending. The second Starkiller has no passion and no personality just acts like an automaton.

Well i'm right there with ya. About to cancel the fiving luck out ma gamertag. I'm a semi diehard FPS fan (yes i'm talking about call of duty....though black ops has made me give battlefield more than a once over) though portal 2 looks like the kind of drug i'd be happy to get addicted too. Doubt my pc can handle the new games :( it is like three years old lol.
