Mister Jack Posted March 12, 2013 Report Share Posted March 12, 2013 Crysis 2 took me about 8 to 10 hours. And yes, people definitely did play Crysis 1 for its campaign. Trust me, I played all three of them, I know what I'm talking about. Crysis 2 was shorter than Crysis 1 and Crysis 3 is shorter than both Crysis 1 and 2.

Faiblesse Des Sens Posted March 12, 2013 Report Share Posted March 12, 2013 Did you play Crysis 2 on the hardest difficulty and Crysis 3 on the easiest?And yes people played Crysis 1 for its campaign (the 2/3rds anyways) but this series strongpoint has always been the engine itself unfortunately.

TheMightyEthan Posted March 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2013 StarCraft II: Heart of the Swarm campaign. Really enjoyed it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Jack Posted March 16, 2013 Report Share Posted March 16, 2013 Beat Ni No Kuni a little while ago. I enjoyed the last third of the story, but the ending was pretty bad. Not Mass Effect 3 bad, but still. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saturnine Tenshi Posted March 17, 2013 Report Share Posted March 17, 2013 Probably one of the best current-gen JRPGs I've played. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waldorf and Statler Posted March 17, 2013 Report Share Posted March 17, 2013 Glad you liked it. I think this game is what got me into Fire Emblem. If you liked this one and can somehow obtain a 3DS I can't recommend Fire Emblem Awakening enough. I seriously cannot. If Persona 4 and this game were in my top 5 jRPG's of all time, I could say that FEA could easily be my number 1 or at least number 2.

Saturnine Tenshi Posted March 17, 2013 Report Share Posted March 17, 2013 Oh, I'd like to try FE:A for Tharja alone. But I don't own a 3DS. :< I liked VC; I think it was a very well-rounded game with something new to provide wrt combat. Not one of my favorites, but a great title nonetheless.

Alex Heat Posted March 17, 2013 Report Share Posted March 17, 2013 Beat Tomb Raider while I was home with strep throat last week. Eeeeeeh, it was alright. I didn't really feel attached to any of the characters (in fact, all of them came off as extremely one note and unremarkable), but the gameplay was solid.

CorgiShinobi Posted March 18, 2013 Report Share Posted March 18, 2013 At least he played it, because I doubt I'll ever play it. I still haven't played Uncharted and I'm staring at it right now. Now if you need me, I'll be busy putting on my blindfold waiting for the firing squad to come a-knockin' on my front door. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waldorf and Statler Posted March 18, 2013 Report Share Posted March 18, 2013 Just beat Fire Emblem Awakening. It was a fantastic game so many fucking feels at the end but man I don't plan on playing it anytime soon again. It's emotionally and mentally exhausting to try and get the best relationships and using a specific team to up their social rank and all that stuff. Game of the Year? Honestly yes it could easily be, the major competition being Bioshock Infinite and we'll see how that plays out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waldorf and Statler Posted March 18, 2013 Report Share Posted March 18, 2013 Talk about a double whammie, also beat Tomb Raider. As others have mentioned before playing it on hard is not impossible due to the relatively low amount of gunfights compared to other shooters and the fact checkpoints are decently enough spread out throughout the game. My thoughts? Best Tomb Raider game in ages and it did certain things better than Uncharted. Characters outside of Roth and the filipino (?) guy were kind of one dimensional but Lara stole the show. She is realistically badass for a woman over a butch all might uterus like something you would see in Gears of War. I'd give it an honest 8.5/10. If a sequel gets made I'd recommend more optional dungeons or at least longer ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MetalCaveman Posted March 19, 2013 Report Share Posted March 19, 2013 StarCraft, really cool game, but I guess everyone already knows that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toxicitizen Posted March 20, 2013 Report Share Posted March 20, 2013 (edited) StarCraft II: Heart of the Swarm. Holy shit, that was epic. Even though it was both easier and shorter, I think I actually enjoyed it more than I did WoL. I really hope they don't take as long to release the next one. edit:Little Inferno. Eh, it was alright. I'm glad to have played it, if only to satisfy my curiosity, but I'm also glad I waited for a sale. It's not really worth 10 bucks.

Strangelove Posted March 21, 2013 Report Share Posted March 21, 2013 (edited) Tomb Raider. I thought it was fantastic. A lot more like the last two Batman games than the Uncharted series. Id say its 70% Batman and 30% Uncharted. I also feel like all the characters are one dimensional aside from Lara. None of them need to be brought back for the sequel. I did dislike that there are no unlockables. Not only just like costumes, but near the end you use 2 handguns to kill Mathias in classic Tomb Raider style. That should have been unlocked from there on out. Edited March 21, 2013 by Strangelove Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waldorf and Statler Posted March 21, 2013 Report Share Posted March 21, 2013 I kind of want the sequel to star a slightly older more experienced Laura. I mean I'd be fine with a sequel that takes place not too long from where it left off, but imagine an older Laura that DOESN'T dress like a slut and is more realistically good looking and badass? That'd be great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hot Heart Posted March 21, 2013 Report Share Posted March 21, 2013 It's LARA. Why are you doing this?! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strangelove Posted March 21, 2013 Report Share Posted March 21, 2013 (edited) I dont think Lara ever dressed like a slut. Compared to this new one, the only difference is that the old Lara wore shorts and had big tits. Only one of those is her fault.

Hot Heart Posted March 21, 2013 Report Share Posted March 21, 2013 Lara could dress like Chloe Frazer. She still got a butt. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Faiblesse Des Sens Posted March 22, 2013 Report Share Posted March 22, 2013 It's LARA. Why are you doing this?! Because I love to see that reaction plus the whole game calls her Laura. Conan was emphasizing "Lara" in his review. Do some characters pronounce it differently than others? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waldorf and Statler Posted March 22, 2013 Report Share Posted March 22, 2013 I can't remember back to the PS1 era and I never played the modern games prior to this one but I've always heard her being called Lara instead of the occasional reviewer and person outside of the game calling her Laura. Until this game where everybody calls her "Lohr-ah" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strangelove Posted March 22, 2013 Report Share Posted March 22, 2013 Metal Gear Rising. Great game, insane story, short as fuck. I recommend it at the $20-30 pricepoint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted March 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2013 Spec Ops: The Line. I'm going to have to reflect on this before forming an opinion. As far as just judging it as a game though, it was decent. I've certainly played worse shooters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
