Ron Hightower Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 I'm sure there's a thread out that's similar, but fuck if I can find it. Post the games you just beat starting from this date. Not last week. Not in sixth grade. Today and beyond. Got it? Bayonetta on normal. Pretty fuckin' cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Sexy Hat Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 Yep I finished it. Mined the whole word into an endless void, go me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keth Posted October 1, 2011 Share Posted October 1, 2011 Finished Dead Island about a week and a half ago. I wanna say it was a legit finish, but I found an item dup glitch that made things significantly easier for me. Looking forward to potential sequels on that one.

the division of joy Posted October 1, 2011 Share Posted October 1, 2011 Finished ME2 again. Still can't get a perfect on the suicide mission. Is Dead Island worth picking up, axel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keth Posted October 1, 2011 Share Posted October 1, 2011 Oh it really is worth it. Its the closest thing that's out that gives a "realistic" zombie experience. Logan mentioned that it was alot like Borderlands; that paired with some awesome gameplay vids sealed the deal for me. I gotta put Mass Effect 2 on my play list here also.

Thelogan Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 I just 1000/1000 'nd Saint's Row 3 (times like this I envy Mal. I'm just gonna start saying "PLAT" instead.) What a crazy fuckin' ride it was. That game is just pure, beautiful insanity. If GTA is The Godfather, then Saint's Row is Kung Fu Hustle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keth Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 Please tell me they still have cheats. I still need to play that motherfucker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thelogan Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 There are cheats. but even better, there are upgrades that break the game for you. There's damage decrease perks you can take for different types of damage (bullets/falling/fire/explosions etc). Once you hit a high level, you can take the last levels of said perks, which decrease the damage by 100%. By the end of the game, I wasn't even pulling my parachute anymore. Just falling from 3,000 ft into the middle of a fight, then shooting rockets at my feet. They have the same thing for ammo and reload time. Instant reload = 1 clip with however many bullets you have. Which becomes a moot point, because you can get unlimited ammo for everything. There's just too many awesome things for one post. Vertical takeoff dual mode rocket bike. Giant veiny purple dildo bat. Summoning a horde of zombies. Calling in Burt Reynolds to roll with you. A button that is essentially dedicated to hitting people in the crotch in several elaborate ways. Burt Reynolds. The entire http://deckers.die mission. Burt Reynolds. It was fun. Definitely has it's flaws, but I'm not even getting into that mode of internet nerdom right now.

Thelogan Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 Speaking of, Genki Bowl DLC comes out on Tuesday. Probably gonna grab it, if only because I really enjoyed Genki's Super Ethical Reality Climax. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jables Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 Wolverine: Origins. Suprisingly brutal & engaging with the most incongruous placement of a Portal joke I've ever seen. Where it deviated from the movie I of course had no problem, not that it took great pains to improve the story or loose threads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The NZA Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 's my boy but i didn't love that game like others. it might've been the platforming? and again, yeah, the parts where it diverged from the awful flick - sentinel factory, etc - i thought were better, boring level design aside. i think i actually liked x2: wolvy's revenge better, gimmicky boss fights/stealth shit and all, just because it had all the costumes like a spidey game and mark hamill's a fun voiceover.

Thelogan Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 I'm on JZA's side on that game. I enjoyed it way more than I ever expected to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iambaytor Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 That game was great, I loved it even if the final boss fight was kinda weak in comparison to all the other boss fights leading up to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jables Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 Logan: brofist Baytor: X2 or Origins? NZA- I think the key was going in with minimal expectations. It's actually set a decent pedigree to beat though: I bought Thor in the same impulse-but-thematic purchase and it thusfar is not going as well.

Iambaytor Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 Origins. It was everything a Wolverine should be. It's kinetic, it's violent as fuck, it's fast paced, and it's fun. The fights with The Blob and The Sentinel were awesome and I loved them and there was never a part of the game where I was like "Well, fuck this shit."

The NZA Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 that was me platforming after gambit. blob fight was okay i guess. expectations is definitely the key; i was foolishly sold this game as being for wolvy what Ultimate Destruction was for Hulk. or the punisher game likewise - it's not; boring settings, puzzles and forced movie stuff dragged it down. better than a movie-tie in usually goes for sure, but i was expecting to feel like a spidey game with good web physics, maybe next time.

Thelogan Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 1400/1400'd L.A. Noire. I guess I can give it back now. The worst part was collecting all 95 cars. That shit was grueling. Mainly because most cars from the 40's look exactly the fucking same to me. Or, at least, they used to. Hours of "Okay, I need a car that looks like this one but with a slightly more rounded grill".

The NZA Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 okay, so i keep hearing: good concept, solid until disc 2 or so when some investigations shit drags its nuts & screws the pacing right up, mixed things on whether it's worth playing or not. any of that ring true? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thelogan Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 It took me a little bit to warm up to. I think I had the opposite reaction. Initially, it was just frustratingly clunky and tedious, marching over to every piece of trash on the street and holding it up to check for evidence. By the time I got to the second disc, I had solved my pacing issues and grown patient. I suspect a lot of these complaints come from cases becoming more complex. If you aren't on your game, then yeah, shit's gonna drag. It's almost like an "easy mode" adventure game. It pretty much pushes you right along, and by and large your decisions are meaningless. You get to cheat and use "intuition" if you're stumped, which either shows you every clue in an area on your map or polls the community for a proper response (which really means, "gives you the correct answer" because you always just go with the highest percentage). Any kind of cohesive plot or arcing characterization vaguely takes place only in cutscenes until disc 3. The plot consists of individual stories in cases, and a few linked cases, until then. Then, alluvasudden, they decided that you were playing a human being and something needed to happen to him. Throughout the game you find newspapers that tell a story completely unrelated to you or anything you do until far into the game. It almost feels like they sprinkled them in as an afterthought in order to make the conclusion more cohesive. The acting is superb. The facial expressions are the best I've ever seen. It's well written. It's mostly a cinematic experience. But I did get satisfaction on the occasions that I'd put the pieces together and figure out a case on my own, before the game shoved it in my face. Car physics can be dumb, but I started making my partner drive everywhere about 8 hours in. having Rockstar attached to it only hurt it as well. It should have been marketed and hyped as a linear detective game. Then people wouldn't have expected Grand Theft Buick Roadmaster. It's a good game. It has too many good things about it to be anything else. It isn't great, and it isn't for everyone. You, however, might dig it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
