Whaaa whatcu talking about? I'm only several missions in and there is no resemblance of any garbage.

If you like vast stretches of nothing, repetitive game-play and cardboard characters then be my guest.

Jordan 12-29-2017 08:23 PM

Well so far it really has my attention. I don't think I've played in this series since MGS2.

I don't enjoy the traveling of vast landscapes however, one of my pet peeves about Witcher 3. However, in that case at least the horse travel actually goes by quite quickly. I can't decide if I want to horse or steal a vehicle most of the time so far. Getting better at the stealth aspect of the game, which is really fun. Not sure yet how I feel about the whole leveling up your army deal, hopefully it makes the game have more layers down the road.

So far I'm very impressed with the story mode, which gets you very involved. Carries on from the first game. Controls wise it's easy to pick up and get into straight away.
Graphics are sharp , characters look how they should look and the voice work is exceptional.

having notplayed mgs 3 or 4 i can understand liking 5

Fignuts 12-29-2017 10:05 PM

There are certain things I like about 5, but it's got some big flaws. The maps being pretty boring for one. Story is interesting at first, but doesn't really go anywhere til the end when they cram a ton of bullshit in, because Konami hated Kojima at the time, and rushed the game.

Destor 12-29-2017 10:11 PM

Tbf 1,3 and 4 are among the best games of all time so the bar was very high.

Emperor Smeat 12-29-2017 10:11 PM

Super Mario Odyssey. Beat the first 3 worlds and just grabbing all the leftover moons and whatever new opened up in those areas.

Frank Drebin 12-29-2017 11:51 PM

Witcher 3 might be the best game of all time.

And enough people have said that to get me to buy it, I'm just not really ready for it yet. Though as I'm playing some other games I am missing the quality acting from Witcher 3.


I'm also playing Metro 2033 Redux ... well I played it all night and got kinda far. Far for me at least I really don't know how big the game is. Holy shit it's really fun, I really love the whole engine for the game it's so damn smooth and fun. I wish more games did the cut scenes with the same engine as the game play, that pleases me.

Destor 12-30-2017 03:16 PM

Started Persona 3. Voice actors are good. Vic Mignogna (-Broly/Edward Elric) plays Junpei so im on board

Fignuts 12-30-2017 05:30 PM

Ok, the Predator mission in Ghost Recon Wildlands is put together way better than I thought it would be. Lots of respect for the source material. They get the tone right and they have the FUCKING PREDATOR THEME when you engage him. I didn't think they'd go that far.

This really makes me want a Predator video game.

Dunno. Plays well and all, but having the same disinterest in the game world that I had in borderlands 1. Like, it almost seems too barren. I like my post apocalyptic wastelands to have lost of shit everywhere and cool places to explore. So far BL2 has been unimpressive in that regard.

Mad Max gets away with having a whole lot of nothing on the map because the vehicle combat is so god damn fun. But vehicular combat in bl2 is pretty dull.

Probably not going to stick with this. Like 70 games on the backlog, so if one doesn't impress, it gets put on the shelf pretty quick.

Not if everybody in your party has top-notch gear (def DP Unkempt Harold, Grog Nozzle and Norfleet, plus a great shield like the 94% Sham or The Bee, for a grenade mod I'd recommend a Storm Front, a legendary ______ (whatever class you're playing) or Slayer of Terramorphous class mod, and maybe a Sheriff's badge relic or one that boosts max health).

Ideally in a party you'll want a Siren specced into Rez. The skill allows Maya to press the action button while a teammate is in fight for your life and instantly revive them. An assassin with B0re and Critical Ascensi0n can deal massive damage. A gunzerker can wreck enemies with the right gear and his action skill.

Also, prioritize farming for Legendary and Seraph rarity weapons and gear over Pearlescent for farming as most of the latter don't live up to their designated rarity. If you can get a pearl Butcher or Bekah, great...the others like the Tunguska and the Unforgiven suck.

Finally, upon reaching UVHM, a great non-mission way to make XP and get amazing gear is farming Mister Tinder Snowflake in the Mercenary Day DLC and raiding the gift box every time thereafter.

Disturbed316 12-31-2017 12:53 AM

Working on getting 100% in Lego Marvel Superheroes 2, currently at just under 70%

Picked up FIFA 18 in the countdown sale so will start on that next. Haven't played a FIFA game for about 5 years so will be interested to see how it plays.

Does that mean they have to start over the story? Or is it just a minor inconvenience?

El Vaquero de Infierno 12-31-2017 06:27 AM

I assume they have to start from the last bonfire; the two people that have invaded my world I dispatched, so I don't know yet what that does to my game.

Fignuts 12-31-2017 07:15 AM

Yeah, last bonfire.

Ultra Mantis 12-31-2017 10:55 AM

It's the same as dying to anything else. but with a little extra salt.

This isn't a spoiler or anything but it's probably a good thing that you started with a positive view of Junpei haha.

I've just entered my final month (for real this time, I think) so I'm rushing around trying to max out some more social links before it's all over. Haven't maxed any of my party's links though, they all unlock mid-late and I don't have enough time left. Got to lv6 with Yukari but now she's mad at me for not hanging out with her even though she has been unavailable for three weeks due to exams / holidays and we live together and I talk to her every day. Ah well, Mitsuru is better anyway.

SPOILER: show
Banged three girls, then when two of them wanted to hang out on Christmas I blew them both off to max out my rival (much superior) athlete, who at rank 10 gives up his athletics career and moves 30 miles away to work at a factory. P3 protagonist is a not a good guy.

A.J.K 12-31-2017 12:47 PM

Completed Final Fantasy 15: Episode Ignis last night. Epic.

Ruien 01-01-2018 02:28 PM

Final fantasy 15 for 20 dollars is tempting..... really disliked 13 though.

Destor 01-01-2018 02:40 PM

They arent similar in the slightest...save ya know...chocobos and phoenix downs

Ruien 01-01-2018 04:02 PM

I bought it. Screw it just 20 dollars.

Ruien 01-01-2018 04:03 PM

Seeing a car in final fantasy make a me want to hurl. I know there was technically cars in 8 but it was very limited.

Destor 01-01-2018 05:50 PM

Cars were a pretty huge deal in 8...

Buuuuuuut the regalia is awesome. Adds to the ambiance

Ruien 01-01-2018 07:05 PM

I only remember using a car once. But that was like 15 years ago so I dunno.

Ruien 01-01-2018 07:05 PM

Still installing. Arg

ClockShot 01-01-2018 07:23 PM

15 is fun. Relatively simple platinum trophy if you ask me.

Had no idea that was a thing.

Ultra Mantis 01-02-2018 07:54 PM

I'm about to enter Tarturus for the final battle in P3. Penis in a wheelchair leading the charge, as is tradition.

Only missed 6 max social links in the end, not a bad run. I missed out on...

SPOILER: show

Lovers - Finished rank 8, I prioritized Mitsuru over Yukari because she is best girl and as I already said, Yukari got mad at me because I wasn't available for dates. Yukari is cool though. I like her.
Magician - Rank 7. He is a doofus, Wears camouflage with a bright yellow jacket. Who does that? Oh and he's trying to bang a teacher, I already did that in P5 Kenji, keep up.
Priestess - Rank 1. Eh, don't really care for Fuuka. I'm sure her link is fine but it's hard to juggle the girls and she was the lowest priority so I dropped her. Spent half the game mad at me but hey, MC is a cheating douchebag so she got the best deal really.
Fortune - Rank 3. This guy didn't like any of my sarcastic quips so I didn't hang out with him much. Not sure what his deal is but he wasn't too interesting. Something about Art Club but also being a doctor. Okay.
Moon - Rank 5. Fuck this guy.
Aeon - Rank 1. Unlocks very very very late and I wanted to finish three other links rather than just plow this one to 10. That's not even a real Arcana, bro.


Social Links in general are obviously very primitive compared to P5, and probably even P4 I would guess, but there's a few cool ones. Sun, Empress, Hermit and Tower were my favourites. Hierophant's ultimate persona has been my go-to late game. Guess I should go and wrap this up...

Destor 01-02-2018 08:16 PM

I like how integral the social links are to combat but miss the perks aspect. Unless that comes later...

Ultra Mantis 01-02-2018 08:31 PM

The perks were a new feature for P5. I missed them too, they gave much more of an incentive to hang out with certain people.

Here you just unlock the Arcana's ultimate fusion at Rank 10, and more importantly, stop them constantly pestering you to hang out on Sunday. There's no need to rush to 10 though, you won't be high enough level to actually fuse any ultimate until early 50s, and some of them even go into the 80s from what I've seen. Generally though, ones you meet earlier have lower level reqs.

Destor 01-02-2018 08:42 PM

I will admit that the features from 5 are missed. Unless the story is A1 its def the superior game

ClockShot 01-03-2018 09:03 AM

Finished Submerged. Eh, alright game if you wanna pad your trophy count.

Now downloading Everybody's Gone to the Rapture. Will start that tomorrow during Snowmageggdon 2018.

I haven't beat the final boss yet, gonna have to grind for some resist items because he has some very cheap auto-game over inducing tricks once he gets low on health. Really long fight too, had him down to a slither then he beserk fucked me :(

So omitting the ending, I'd say P5 is superior in every way. That's not to say P3 is not good, I really enjoyed it, most main characters have a nice arc. Akihiko SANADA's ultimate persona is my actually favourite across both games, so cool. Story takes aaaaaaages to get going though, which is a real shame.

Heisenberg 01-03-2018 11:05 AM

Still playing Witcher 3


Ciri and Geralt trashed Avallachhhhhh's hidden man cave after deciding that he has another agenda for Ciri. Geralt could have stopped Ciri from trashing the furniture, but he glanced at Yennefer and pulled the trigger. Yennefer also drew a stache on the elf's portrait.


The guy that runs the bath house is pissed at me, never a good time when I go in there to steal his herbs and dip my feet in, he always goes in on me and negates the reason for relaxing.

Frank Drebin 01-03-2018 01:36 PM

He's a fat fuck. Massage Envy had better spas.

Heisenberg 01-03-2018 01:39 PM

"Geralt, you can't bring your swords and armor in"

"Geralt, the Witcher shower is THAT way"

"Geralt, those smoothies are extra"

1/5 Golem shits, never going to help him out again

DAMN iNATOR 01-03-2018 09:07 PM

Got Seph's rep about my above post. Yeah, soloing any of the BL2 raid bosses is a bitch, although I have not been above doing the exploit on "ultra invincible" Pyro Pete involving grenade jumping to the ledge and waiting till he jumps up there and hiding behind the post where he can't hit you with corrosive and fire damage and using an inflammable (fire-resistant) or alkaline Bee shield. Takes a while but those Seraph crystals (@ lv.
72-OP8)make it all worthwhile.
