Raven Reaper 03-04-2013 12:02 AM

Already done DS 3.. Now playing on XBOX: Tomb Raider 2013. Loved the bow/arrow upgrades and using it as a rope bridge..

There's one scene in the game where it references The Descent. The part where the heroine hides herself in a tomb pool of blood and lifts up her face to check if the enemies are still there..

Ultra Mantis 03-04-2013 09:38 AM

Somebody needs to set up Raven Reaper's account so he can only post inside spoiler tags.

LoDownM 03-04-2013 09:46 AM

He didn't really give anything away plot wise there.

Ultra Mantis 03-04-2013 09:57 AM

It might not be a vital plot twist but it's still a spoiler. It's like people telling you all the good bits before you watch a film and you're just sat there in expectation rather than being along for the ride.

It only gets better with 2. Can’t say for sure about 3, but I’ve just recently picked up ME 2 @ GS and am having a blast working my way through...got all the ship upgrades, now just have to pick up a few more crew members and do all their loyalty shit, and see if I can figure out on my own how to keep everybody alive when it’s time to stop the collectors once and for all.

So I go to the College of Winterhold where I’ve been putting off fighting this dragon forever. I take Serana with and summon a Dremora Lord to help me and the Mages Guild take the fucker down, and when I finally do, fucking Miraak steals the Dragon Soul! :mad:

SlickyTrickyDamon 03-04-2013 12:30 PM

You can't win then. You need to re-start before you started Dragonborn and get extra souls. Why do you need 10 people to kill a dragon anyways?

I never said I did. It’s just that with that particular dragon being in the College of Winterhold area, all the guild members ran out and started trying to attack it, just as if a dragon were attacking one of the cities all the citizens of that town would try to attack it.

I tried three to play times and each time I went through te opening scend as you ride into the town, having the conversation with the stormcloak and imperial but then the cart runs into a wall and acts as if it is still advancing to the execution spot..

Happened three times so I got pissed and didn't play..

Games Beat in 2013:

Tomb Raider - 5/5

Absolutely loved this game, and this is coming from someone who was never a Tomb Raider fan in the past. My only complaint about the game is the AI. When you kill someone completely from stealth, other AI in the area instantly know where you are.

I completed this on Normal mode and the AI didn't notice when I kill someone with my grappling pick.. I only kill when they're totally out of sight in the pathways. It worked.. And I noticed that even if you completed it, you still do challenges on the island you were on much like the Batman Arkham series.

SPOILER: show
the boss fights were 2 of them I think: The Giant UBER guard at the Endurance boat that's completely black and the big-ass Samurai growling warrior with a BIG FUCKING CLUB. Sucker Punch movie reference there.

Games I've Beaten in 2013:

Max Payne 3 - 80
Driver: San Francisco - 77
Shift 2 Unleashed - Holy Shit I Don't Care
Dead Space 2 - 77
inFamous 2 - 65
God of War 3 - 70
God of War: Origins - 61
The Walking Dead - 79
Forza: Horizon - 62

I liked NFS:MW more than this to be honest. The single player became very boring to me. I would have cranked up the difficulty a bit but I wanted to finish it quickly. There wasn't enough customization to really feel like you're driving different cars. Interiors on all of them looked pretty great though. But they didn't feel different to other cars in their class. Online is decent but a lot of the other cars were phasing around and it didn't really look all that smooth.

Working On: MLB 13: The Show, Dust 514 beta, Blops 2, Medal of Honor: Warfighter, Halo 4, Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood, Assassin's Creed: Revelations, Assassin's Creed 3, Deus Ex, XCOM: Enemy Unknown, Spelunky, Dear Esther, Trine 2, Super Meat Boy, Metal Gear Solid Collection, maybe Portal 2 co-op

Fignuts 03-07-2013 02:41 AM

ClockShot 03-07-2013 06:33 PM

Currently playing Hitman: Blood Money so I can get this last pain in my ass achievement then get rid of it once and for all.

Then probably pick up Borderlands 2 and start the Big Game Hunt.

Emperor Smeat 03-08-2013 03:50 PM

Games beaten in 2013:
Kirby's Epic Yarn

Currently Playing (main games):
Double Dragon II
Viewtiful Joe Double Trouble
Halo

In Far Cry 3, they seem to have no punishment system in place for killing the guys that show up at the outposts when you take them over. Usually I get killed for running over innocents, but no results for killing these guys.

ClockShot 03-08-2013 06:35 PM

Piss 'em off enough they'll start shooting at ya.

Finally got the Notorious achievement.

Good bye, Hitman: Blood Money. It was fun.

Just finished Mass Effect 1 last night and played about 30 mins of two with my ME1 Shep.

Absolutely LOVE the game and didn't feel like I actually put 14 hours into it. Can't wait to see where the second one goes, gonna be one helluva ride.

Heisenberg 03-10-2013 01:49 PM

Beat Red Dead Redemption and Far Cry 3.

Finishing off the Mass Effect series starting with 2, where I left off at. Started a new game so I wouldn't get confused, it's been 2 years since I played it.

Make sure you have ALL DLCs recommended just for you: Shadow Broker, The Arrival, Leviathan, Omega (Despite lackluster music soundtrack yet still fun), and of course Citadel. That alone is worth more than just the main storyline.

drave 03-11-2013 06:54 AM

Yea, the hot chic at gamestop said the same thing, so I had her load me up with MS Points.

Already heavily enjoying ME2 than 1 for various reasons, but mainly the improved combat. I played soldier in 1 and doing infiltrator for this one.

Raven Reaper 03-11-2013 07:56 AM

Mine's a Sentinel all the way.. My complaint with the 1st is that there's TOO MANY ITEMS you picked up that are the same labels of upgrades you just had in your inventory. Plus, when I tried playing other roles, I CANNOT fire my AVENGER or Lancer assault rifles. It says that only soldiers have access to that.. So, yeah I was a soldier in ME 1, But the rest was Sentinel all the way. Biotics rule!

Warning: If you don't upgrade ALL WEAPONS and ship engines in ME 2, chances are there are gonna be casualties on your squad in the suicide mission. You can upgrade Normandy ALL OF IT except the additional probes for scanning mineral stuff... I read it in a tips and hints in some site cos when I first played it I had 2-3 casualties because of avoiding the upgrades and scanning mineral planets.

Same goes with the side assignments. If you haven't finished all of them even if you missed one, there's still gonna be a casualty on your squad loyalty list.

drave 03-11-2013 07:59 AM

I have always been the stealth type OR brutally run down your FACE. Since I went soldier the first go, thought I would give it something different. And YES, there were TONNNNNNNS of items that were useless and made into omni gel / sold. I also found vendors incredibly useless as well. I only bought from them 2-3 times when there was an actual upgrade.

I ALWAYS have a biotic in my squad, they are indeed badass.

Heisenberg 03-11-2013 08:56 AM

Jack reminds me of Natalie Portman in ME2.

Raven Reaper 03-12-2013 07:13 AM

My maleshep fucked her in part 2 with the paragon response about refusing to get laid but in the part near the suicide mission ending, Jack goes to your room crying and hugging and finally fucking her in bed.. Lovely.

Raven Reaper 03-12-2013 07:20 AM

Finally finished the Citadel DLC... Whew.. I felt like I really didn't wanna finish the mission with the Reapers at all. I'm just gonna replay this over and over again. As Cortez said, "This party, we shouldn't have ended it."

NoJabbaNoBogRoll 03-12-2013 02:35 PM

Spoilers, dingbat?

Krimzon7 03-12-2013 08:31 PM

you know, I'm STILL playing DC Universe Online. I know the game has so many issues and I've taken my sabbaticals, but I just keep going back to it. This game is my first MMO experience and I just love the fact that I get to enjoy it using my PS3. Thought long and hard about playing WOW or Starcraft but for now...I'm still controlling in DCUO....KRIMZEN7 in the house baby!

SlickyTrickyDamon 03-12-2013 08:37 PM

Playing Red Dead for a 3rd playthrough. Already in Mexico. Just bought the song on itunes.

Going to try Elder Scrolls Online, should be a great MMO to casually play.

Glad I beat this finally a few weeks ago, have you played through GTA4? I was wondering if I'll get the same type of story and action. I put GTA4 down after buying it new, just used it to destroy things, never played through the story, but after giving Red Dead a shot, I want to play through GTA4 before buying GTA5.

Drakul 03-13-2013 05:11 PM

Just bought Catherine. Only passed Stage 2 but liking it so far.

Ultra Mantis 03-13-2013 06:06 PM

:heart: Catherine :love:

I've started playing through GTA4 after roughly two years of owning it. Failing a mission then going all the way back to the other side of the map to start again from step one is a massive pain in the arse. LA Noire and Red Dead Redemption have spoiled me. Dressed Nico up as Heisenberg to try and make him more enjoyable, not sure if it's working.

Lol! I'll have to try that. For now I'm enjoying the Mass Effect trilogy.

GTA IV is badass. Lonnnnnnnnnnnnnnng story, but a damn good one too. Definitely worth the investment. Havent played any of the DLC, but hear great things about them too. If you play on XBox, there is a special on the DLC this week.
