Cyber Rat Posted August 19, 2012 Report Share Posted August 19, 2012 Finished Arkham City finally. Not gonna bother getting 100%. I'd rather spend my time playing other games I haven't yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted August 20, 2012 Report Share Posted August 20, 2012 Also, I was really surprised they didn't actually make you choose between bringing back humanity or the Nephilim. To build that up for half the game and then just take the decision out of the player's hands entirely was just weird. Â Yeah, that seemed really weird to me too.

Little Pirate Posted August 21, 2012 Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 Finally got through Downpour. The boss was kind of disappointing, it was mostly just beating off the same monsters about 20 times then pressing A rapidly. Overall, this game out of the series was so-so... I guess it's hard to top the first few, but the lack of diversity in monsters, especially since all of them were humanoid, was probably my biggest disappoint. The mind-fuck was still pretty heavy in place, the graphics are pretty awesome, but there's a lot of things lacking. Silent Hill is supposed to change up into a hellish state every now and then, but really, all that happened was you got knocked into some random running sequence from a red-blackhole. The puzzles were aggravating, especially since they were glitched. Overall, I'd give this a 4/10. Still has its eerieness, graphics are good... but the plot, side characters, side quests, and the fact I only beat on psycho-looking people rather than monsters makes me think I'm playing a completely different horror game than playing Silent Hill. I should try and find a cheap copy of Origins since I haven't played that one yet, and Homecoming I never got through, either. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Heat Posted August 21, 2012 Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 Finished clearing all the character stories in P4A after I beat Tales of Graces f last week. Onto Sleeping Dogs! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strangelove Posted August 21, 2012 Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 (edited) I beat Calamity Trigger Reconstruction. How long are each character's stories after that? I liked Reconstruction for the most part, but there was a sever lack of fighting in it and tons of dialogue. I guess thats why it's called "Story" mode. Thank god the dialogue is pretty good, especially considering it's a Japanese game. Edited August 21, 2012 by Strangelove Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MetalCaveman Posted August 21, 2012 Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 (edited) Darksiders 2, ending was disappointing but the rest of the game was pretty cool, except for that visit to Earth, I hated that part Edited August 21, 2012 by MetalCaveman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mal Posted August 21, 2012 Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 (edited) Ys Origin  I just beat it with one character. I may just play the mage guy on easy or something. The other guy I still need to try out. Also, I wish that Ys I and II comes out on Steam. Along with Seven and Ark of Napishtim. PC versions does exist for all of them. I already played I, II and Ark but I and II I pirated a long time ago and Ark I played on the PS2... or was it PC? Eh. They're all great games. Deep? Nah but they're fun.

Hot Heart Posted August 22, 2012 Report Share Posted August 22, 2012 I have a friend who says it's overrated and that it's not a particularly good platformer. Â Even if that's true (which I guess it is to some extent), it's not the bloody point! It's a mixture of things anyway, and it's about the 'experience'.

Mal Posted August 22, 2012 Report Share Posted August 22, 2012 I couldn't get into the game. I guess Crash and Spyro platformed me out even after a decade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Yeah, the platforming frustrated me at times (that fucking Meat Circus level...ugh!). But for the most part, I thought the game was brilliantly designed. The level design in particular feels like a lot of thought was put into it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TCP Posted August 25, 2012 Report Share Posted August 25, 2012 Finished the Yes Man ending of New Vegas. I want to do the other endings, but I can't find my earlier saves... hm. Â Anyone play the DLC packs? I hear they're not as good as Fallout 3. Any favorites? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luftwaffles Posted August 25, 2012 Report Share Posted August 25, 2012 Old World Blues is worth playing, as is Honest Hearts (IMO). Dead Money is skippable, I wasn't a huge fan of Lonesome Road, but it might be good depending on your taste. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted August 25, 2012 Report Share Posted August 25, 2012 Â Just finished it. I actually think it might be my favorite game of the series; the gunplay felt better, it had less of a reliance on bullet sponges, and the final boss fight was much better. It didn't have the big scripted sequences like the other games, but those were never my favorite parts anyway. Â My only real complaint is that once, just ONCE, I'd like an Uncharted game where you don't end up destroying the lost city you set out to find.

TCP Posted August 25, 2012 Report Share Posted August 25, 2012 (edited) Glad you enjoyed it, I felt pretty much the same way, and yeah, lost cities being destroyed got old in Uncharted 3, nevermind in Golden Abyss. The game got a bad wrap, which I felt was a unfair... maybe it would have suffered a better fate if it came out before UC3.

Strangelove Posted August 25, 2012 Report Share Posted August 25, 2012 Golden Abyss badly needed multiplayer, considering the last couple of Uncharted games have had it and how popular it's gotten. Especially since they charged 50 bucks for it. Its not my cup of tea, but I think it would have helped get some more sales. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted August 26, 2012 Report Share Posted August 26, 2012 Lol, I didn't even know it didn't have multiplayer, that's how little I care about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CorgiShinobi Posted August 26, 2012 Report Share Posted August 26, 2012 (edited) Amnesia: The Dark Descent. Â Â I had to look through a walkthrough near the end to find blood for the "Glass Jar with String" and a few other things simply because some puzzles relied on you finding a specific spot, like a trap door on the ceiling or the one loose iron bar on your jail cell. The presentation was amazing, especially near the final moments where you're having more vivid flashbacks. Â It's a scary game, but there were only a few select moments that scared me. My first real scare was when I opened a door and one of those "Shadow" monsters was right behind it. It was typically jump scares that got me, like the Iron Maiden suddenly opening with a scream. Felt like a few times the Shadow was a bit cheap, but then again it added to the "terror" of not knowing exactly where to hide and the sudden dilemma. Though, when I was climbing the ladder to escape the well, it was cheap that he got me when I could only slowly climb.

TheFlyingGerbil Posted August 26, 2012 Report Share Posted August 26, 2012 well, I'll know what to watch out for and not be scared by when I play through it now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
