The Video Game Thread

The gauntlets are typically worse. I was getting super frustrated with the Bandits who take in Bourbon; got sick of trying to conserve ammo and stealth kill the majority...just lit em up with a Kalash, sped things up. Got extremely lucky with the Nosalies attacking Cursed though, didn't die once there.

Now I'm in War, and my only gripe is I don't have that many air filters...and that's it. My Silenced Revolver packs 70+ rounds, my Kalash now has a scope and laser sight with a whopping 252 rounds ready to roll. Even my Helsing has a scope, and I stocked that up to 24 shots. Still have 40 military-grade bullets for buying filters (hopefully I still can in the future). I can't help but think I missed the sneaking suit...

 

I just am really a wimp, and hate when games get oppressively hard. Even when things were their scariest I still got through, and it always felt like I'd accomplished something. Even on easy, the games are still a challenge and still exciting as all hell.

 

Two glitched achievements keeping me from 100% for Dishonored.

The most annoying thing in any game for me.

 

I want to play the Legend of Spyro saga. I didn't know it came out that good.
Totally lost interest in Spyro after Enter the Dragonfly.

 

I've been playing an old DOS game called Fragile Allegiance. It took me a while to get it running in dosbox but i got it!

 

Which two glitched for you?

 

Laughed my ass off.

 

Street Conspiracy: You completed all of Slackjaw's side missions.

I've done this multiple times on multiple playthroughs, nothing.

Harm's Way: Cause five unintentional suicides

I've caused well over five suicides, multiple ways. Even did ten on one section, nothing.

 

Hmm, I can't even find Street Conspiracy on my achievement list. Did they remove it?

 

It's a secret achievement.

 

The damnedest thing was, Ranger Easy gave me insight into the final areas....so the hardest difficulty wasn't exactly hard. I kept a Hellsing until the Library and used it to whoop on the Librarians to speed things up. Filters weren't exactly problematic except a little after Child, and even then it just made me keep the pace. But the amount of ammo I had bought was absurdly good thanks in part to the Hellsing letting me conserve ammunition (let alone the metric ton of shotgun shells I sold off), and the difficulty making rifle ammo. Granted my death count was still somewhere between 30-50, but that's not difficult, just tedious due to the enemy ammunition also being equally powerful and super pinpoint accurate. I had somewhere upwards of 150 MG rounds too, so what killed me a lot in D6 got wrecked (Nosalies got shotgun to the face, and the pods were dealt with promptly with the Kalash freely firing since I knew I'd get plenty of ammo in the final scene). Knowing to run ahead to skip things too helped.

So, Ranger Hardcore achievement and the Enlightened "good guy greg" achievement/ending at the same time.

 

Did you see they released a redux version for Pc, Xbox One and PS4? The graphics are incredible, and I really hope some people will actually play this game. I can't ever get anybody to try it. Even people who like Fallout and post-apocalyptic stuff, even people who like scary stuff, even people who like survival stuff...

 

Warframe, why did you have to steal my soul with the addition of the Kubrow? It's so adorable T--T

 

I'll be playing Warframe tonight with my Live crew.

Right now I'm playing Payday 2, on a bank heist. I 've gotten to the point where I can have the guards and bank manager subdued and the bank secure without setting off alarms or alerting people to what's going on, five minutes tops. The rest of the time is spent waiting for the drill, then opening all the deposit boxes. If anyone plays this game, you now how long that takes.

I may have a slight obsession with this game...

 

Probably going to dive back into The Secret World today.




Video's are 2, 3 years old, from the lead up to the game. It has since gone B2P with DLC, but since I got a Grandmaster (lifetime membership before they switched to B2P, carried over to X amount in game currency for the shop, more than enough to buy each new chapter of DLC) account about 2 years ago, all the DLC is basically free to me. Modern day MMO, no set classes, but the "holy trinity" still exists. First location (comprised of 3 areas) is very Lovecraftian in feel, and even has Innsmouth Academy (a direct reference to The Shadow over Innsmouth) and there's even a dungeon that has a Cthulu-esque boss, plus in the waters of the first area you can fight "Deep One's".

 

So I am waiting for Destiny to come out but I wanted to play some older games in the mean time. I wanted to play .Hack// G.U.
The only problem is it never came out in EU only Japan and NA, so I did the only thing I could and installed a PS2 emulator.
Much to my surprise I got it working and it's working fine, getting a nice solid 60fps and I mapped it to my PS4 controller so that's nice.

 

Just found this Lore in the game The Secret World, in Innsmouth Academy, and it amuses me.

 

So Dark Souls 2...

Finished with a Sorcerer, Swordsman, and Cleric now. Gonna start a new Knight character and try him out. (I love DS btw)

 

Bwahhhhhhh.... Can't wait for Azir to be released in League of Legends... Looks like a fun, difficult and powerful champ with very unique mechanics.

 

Found Metroid Prime Trilogy the other day.


I'm gonna be a busy tiger this weekend.
