Hocking Posted July 28, 2011 Report Share Posted July 28, 2011 Finished up Hitman: Bloody Money in the early hours of this morning before heading to bed. Third or fourth time I've beaten it, brilliant game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FredEffinChopin Posted July 28, 2011 Report Share Posted July 28, 2011 Alice: Madness Returns It was neat. Seems like an easy platinum that normally I'd go for, but I don't know if I can sit through the whole thing again just yet... I don't know if it's just me, but the game was longer than I expected. I'm thinking I'll have to let this one go in favor of playing new titles, and working on my Fight Night Champion online stats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the first time you get the animals. It's also a little tough to get the real ending so it's fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blood Money seemed to have perfected the formula, and now they're shaking things up a bit. Hopefully, it'll all be for the best. But really, when does that ever happen?

Yantelope Posted July 28, 2011 Report Share Posted July 28, 2011 (edited) I too loved Blood Money. The best part is pushing the guy into the gator pond. Edited July 28, 2011 by Yantelope 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hocking Posted July 28, 2011 Report Share Posted July 28, 2011 (edited) Haha yeah, that's pretty amusing. I went a little overboard with it yesterday though, I kept fouling it up in that area thanks to the guards. So I eventually just took them all as human shields to knock them out and simply threw them to the gators while I waited for the target to come feed them. Amazingly, they all counted as accidents and I ended up with a Silent Assassin rating. On 7/28/2011 at 6:19 PM, FLD said: Brilliant game indeed.

But really, when does that ever happen? Likewise, I'm pretty worried they're going to turn it into Splinter Cell: Agent 47. Apparently they're using a system very much like the mark and execute from SC: Conviction. As much as I liked that in Conviction, I wouldn't so much like to see it in the next Hitman. The trailer also worries me somewhat, as Agent 47 assaults his way to the woman in the shower. Trying that in any of the previous games gets you killed, fast.

Strangelove Posted July 30, 2011 Report Share Posted July 30, 2011 Well, I beat Catherine last night. Awesome game. Got the "Bad Lover" ending. Im struggling to read what the other endings are. I kind of want to play again and see them myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CorgiShinobi Posted July 30, 2011 Report Share Posted July 30, 2011 Figure I'll put my status of defeating Catherine in the thread too. Last night, on Normal difficulty I received the True Lovers ending. It was my "honest" run, so I was answering all the questions as if there wasn't an ulterior motive behind it all.

Luftwaffles Posted August 2, 2011 Report Share Posted August 2, 2011 As far as a backlog goes, games I've beaten this year: Fallout 3 Bad Company 2 SP (doesn't really count) Far Cry 2 Assassin's Creed Medal of Honor Plants Vs. Zombies Portal 2 Serious Sam: The First Encounter Rainbow Six: Vegas Rainbow Six: Vegas 2 In progress: Just Cause 2 (doubt I'll ever beat this, honestly) Fallout: New Vegas (doubt I'll beat this for a long time) Splinter Cell: Conviction (surprisingly fun, co-op is awesome) Other games to play this year: Grand Theft Auto IV Entire STALKER series AssCreedBro Borderlands + DLC Men of War: Assault Squad Deus Ex: Human Revolution Trying to get those done before Steam has another sale, but I doubt I will. Steam sales, you will be the death of me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toxicitizen Posted August 7, 2011 Report Share Posted August 7, 2011 Just beat VVVVVV a few minutes ago. Such an awesome game. Even if all the other games end up sucking, I'll still be glad I got the humble bundle for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Battra92 Posted August 8, 2011 Report Share Posted August 8, 2011 The Sega Genesis version of Truxton. I confess I used Game Genie. No, I don't care. Truxton was downright CHEAP!

Honestly, I didn't really enjoy the gameplay all that much (250+ deaths, exponentially more expletives in about an hour), but I kept playing for the music, which is just amazing. And don't worry about the rest of the bundle sucking. I can personally vouch that Atom Zombie Smasher is probably worth whatever you paid for it alone.

toxicitizen Posted August 9, 2011 Report Share Posted August 9, 2011 Yeah, I tried Atom Zombie yesterday and it's pretty cool. Though I'm afraid I won't be very good at it once the difficulty spikes up. As for VVVVVV, for some reason the punishing gameplay never really got to me. I beat it in a single sitting and died over 1200 times in the process but it never pissed me off (that's rather uncharacteristic for me. I tend to rage something fierce when faced with repeated failure. I'm kind of amazed that I never broke a single controller in my life).

Johnny Posted August 9, 2011 Report Share Posted August 9, 2011 That's kind of the core genius in VVVVVV's level design. It is smartly checkpointed so that there is practically no punishment for failing; you just get up, immediately respawn (most often on the same screen) and try again.

toxicitizen Posted August 9, 2011 Report Share Posted August 9, 2011 Yeah, pretty much that combined with the fact that everything the game ask of you is pretty simple. When you fail, it's not the game being cheap or anything like that. It's very clear that you failed because your reflexes or precision were lacking. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brotherhood is an improvement over II in every aspect. But speaking strictly about the plot and ending, I preferred II by a wide margin. The ending of ACII was just a huge "Holy shit!" moment for me. Also, I love me a good cliffhanger. I found ACB's ending to be lacking in that department. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a certain part of me that's always enjoyed the weird sci-fi type of backstory to the AC games, and I certainly liked how Brotherhood delivered and developed that. Reveal hidden contents The beginning of Brotherhood as well, when you were running around the Auditore Villa years after Ezio came through was also kinda neat, even if the "puzzles" and the dialog were repetitive. Spoiler tag'd just in case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also liked that more of the plot was set in the present. That's something I missed in ACII. Edited August 10, 2011 by FLD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
