BookwormOtaku Posted February 19, 2015 Posted February 19, 2015 Beaten the Mark of the Assassin DLC for DA2; enjoyable little story both the heist and those two little sidequests for Isabella and Avaline (the former being the better). About my only complaints were the secret bosses being ridiculously difficult, a glitch where the game froze just as I beat that annoying last boss of the DLC so I had to beat it again , and as much as I like Felicia Day and think she did a great job with the voice acting the game creators putting so much effort into making Tallis look like her gave me way too many uncanny valley moments which distracted me throughout the story.

Stray Cat Posted February 19, 2015 Posted February 19, 2015 I'm about half-way through the Hebijo story....it's not terrible so far but it's not good either.  I can't tell how I feel about the characters either. Quote

BookwormOtaku Posted February 19, 2015 Posted February 19, 2015 Beat Dragon Age 2; overall I enjoyed it. The core characters were good, the narrative device they used with Varric (my favorite of the bunch) was an interesting idea that worked, and my only issues with it are mostly technical (recycled maps and glitches). I do have a couple issues writing-wise (off the top of my head) if I need to nitpick: 1) Fenris was the least interesting member of the party where his backstory is almost all there is to his character. I'm not going to say I outright hate the character like some do (though I can understand why) as there are moments where he and Hawke talk to one another as friends and it does feel genuine. At the end I just wish there was more of that. 2) I have some mixed feelings about Anders... While I enjoyed the tragic conclusion to his story (my Hawke chose to kill him because he knew if he let Anders go he'd probably do the same thing again or worse and since they were friends he felt he owed what was left of that a quick and merciful end), I can't help but wonder seeing as they changed so much of his character between Awakening and 2 (Ser Pounce Alot deserved screen time dammit!! ) if they could have just made him a different character all together. The Justice thing could have still happened since the epilogue of Awakening does explain his first body died eventually) Â So all in all, enjoyed the game, don't think it deserved the hate it got though I will admit it should not have been rushed out since on at least the technical side it could have used some polish.

Kurisu-Chan Posted February 19, 2015 Posted February 19, 2015 Well, another Bioshock infinite spoiler, very very very very big spoilers about Infinite, don't read them if you didn't played the game, i'm at lost of words. Â Songbird took Elizabeth, i crossed a bridge and i time traveled to 1983, there i saw New York in flames, and an older, broken elizabeth, who charged me with my last mission. Got back in time, saved Elizabeth, and finally, killed the monster leader, then, i got the control over Songbird, and we destroyed the tower in Monument Valley...and now we are in rapture...WAIT WHAT? Rapture?, well, i'm probably at the last chapter of the game. Quote

Guess your not really a hardcore Dragon age fan..you have no idea how disappointing it was for Dragon age fans...Origin is my all time favorite game...it was a masterpiece coming from bioware...but bioware has fallen since then...i'm gonna stop before I go into a really angry rant...

mbl Posted February 20, 2015 Posted February 20, 2015 I'm actually in the middle of a DA origins run right now. Planned on playing through DA1/2 in prep for Inquisition but never did, so now I am doing marathon of all three games -Origins and Inquisition on nightmare, DA2 probably on easy because why bother -  DA2 is one of the few cases where I think the hate bioware took was deserved. They made a lot of choices against their fanbase in order to simplify their job of making the game. Quote
Fred the Barber Posted February 20, 2015 Posted February 20, 2015 I couldn't get into Dragon Age: Origins at all (I tried), and then I played Dragon Age 2 and loved it. Inquisition is waiting for me, but I never make the time to play it... Quote
SilverLi Posted February 20, 2015 Posted February 20, 2015 Completed a long run in Europa Universalis as the Ottomans. I hate playing with them because it is so easy. But I did it for some achievements. I did conquer whole India (as an European), Japan (as an European) and assembled 500 heavy ships. 1k fleet maintenance before I scrapped it again. 23k ducats creating the fleet and I was at least 150 ships above forcelimit.. Â Now I am taking a break from EU4 before the next DLC next Thursday. I am really looking forward to the Nation Designer. I am going to have a really good time in MP with some friends. Quote
LiquidShu Posted February 21, 2015 Posted February 21, 2015 Anyone here into the fighting game scene? Quote
kyrt Posted February 21, 2015 Posted February 21, 2015 After what seems like forever I finally decided to play my copy of Bravely Default that has been sitting in its case since release. Only about an hour in but really like the feel to it. Quote
sub-zer0 Posted February 21, 2015 Posted February 21, 2015 Just Finished Metro Last Light On Ranger mode, for the most part it was relatively easy except for me trying not to kill any humans at all(made the game much harder because I can't just put a bullet through people's head) ,I did run out of ammunition for this one boss fight and I ended up having to use all my clay-more, grenades, and about 200 MGR. going to play all the dlcs now(I'v only done the Reich Faction pack so far). Quote
Deep Blue Posted February 21, 2015 Posted February 21, 2015 finished dark souls 2, kinda meh, ds1 was way better in many aspects. Quote
Kurisu-Chan Posted February 21, 2015 Posted February 21, 2015 Normal Last Light or Last Light Redux? Just wondering, since I have both the original Metro games, and I'm not sure if I should get the Redux versions or not.  Metro 2033 Redux is interesting, since it's more optimised than Metro 2033, slightly improved textures, gameplay that uses the improvements from last light.  as for Last light redux, tiny improvements, for me not enough to rebuy the game.

Stray Cat Posted February 21, 2015 Posted February 21, 2015 I beat the Hebijo story.  It wasn't that bad actually, I really liked Ryona and Ryobi's part and they're some of my favorite characters now.   I think we can all agree Imu is a terrible character though.  Murasaki isn't great either.  Miyabi is meh (better if you change her hair style).  Time for Crimson Girls. Quote

kyrt Posted February 21, 2015 Posted February 21, 2015 Anyone here into the fighting game scene? I used to play persona 4 arena, guilty gear, soul calibur, blazblue, Dead or Alive 5, Tekken, and Arcana Hearts but unfortunately the dlc policies of those companies and other companies and the amount of re-releases and the like have simply just pushed me away from the fighting game scene altogether. I might pick up Dengeki Fighting Climax when it drops in price but honestly the only fighting games I'm somewhat interested in is the Nitro+ fighting game and possibly a new Dissidia game. Blazblue Chrono Phantasma and DOA5 Last Round announcement were the fighting games that made me realize I'm not giving into these bullshit sale practices. Â As for games I am continuing to play Darkest Dungeon and BD. Quote
SilverLi Posted February 22, 2015 Posted February 22, 2015 Anyone here into the fighting game scene? Played a lot of SFIV. Nowadays I only play it when I am forced too by my friends.  Edit  I myself am having fun on Attilla  :3  Is it buggy or does it actually work unlike Rome 2? Quote
ExtraMana Posted February 22, 2015 Posted February 22, 2015 Currently playing Resident Evil 4 and Resident Evil 1 HD remake both on Steam. Two very fine games. Quote
Stray Cat Posted February 22, 2015 Posted February 22, 2015 Anyone here into the fighting game scene? Smash, pretty much the only fighting game I play (and am good at) really. Quote
BookwormOtaku Posted February 22, 2015 Posted February 22, 2015 Anyone here into the fighting game scene? For me it's the Blazblue series, Guilty Gear series, Persona 4 Arena, Soul Calibur 2-4 (everyone I knew told me not to bother with 5), Smash Bros. series, Dead or Alive series, King of Fighters and a little bit of Street Fighter if we're going with series. Did enjoy the recent Mortal Kombat game since it made for a good enough intro to the series after watching the movie so I'm looking forward to the upcoming sequel. Have some fond memories of Capcom vs SNK 2 and Capcom vs. Marvel 2 since I played those with friends...and constantly got creamed. Quote
Thunderbro Posted February 22, 2015 Posted February 22, 2015 Hyperdevotion Noire came in the mail so I'm gonna get started on playing that now. Quote
