Jables Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 is that gnome thing in like, parts 1 or 2? I'm still just on ep two and have seen no gnome. :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stilly Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 The gnome is in Episode 2 only In Chapter 1 when Alyx is making a transmission to Dr. Kliener and her father (you know, where you have to use the gravity gun to plug yet something else in...what a waste of technology), anyway, if you turn toward the exit door, he's in the right corner of the room....if I remember correctly (I may not be), he's under something. But yeah, then you gotta carry him throughout the ENTIRE game, put him in the nose cone of the rocket in Chapter 6, and then CLOSE THE DOOR TO THE NOSE CONE or you won't get the achievement.

Da Cap'n Posted February 12, 2008 Author Share Posted February 12, 2008 Finally got that Rank #1 achievement in VT3 (well been had it for like 2 weeks now). I'm playing Conan now (big bite off God of War) and it's alright. My brother just got Devil May Cry 4 so I'll get to when he's done. Might be jumpin' on to Assassin's Creed soon, too.

Jables Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 Yeah I'd sooner play something that's not monkey nuts, brah. Good to see you back on man, pity you're not making it down with the rest've the crew next month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The NZA Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 if youre playing that awful-ass Conan game, i got dibs on Stranglehold that no one's using. also, fuck happened to my Katamari?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jables Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 SHut up about aweful-arsed Conan. That game's great!! Granted it ain't no God of War... Lemme know how Stranglehold plays too. I'm curuious(not that I need more games right now) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The NZA Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 if youre curious, get the demo. Stranglehold seemed like a lotta fun there, everything blows up! doesnt hurt that i love Woo/Chow like i do. and conan comparisons to GoW are like an insult to the series. i cant name another game i literally fell asleep during the demo. if there's a word for "uninspired hack and slash meets titties", its conan.

Jables Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 ANd great titties they are! I loved Conan. Stranglehold, I wasn't sure about the demo, that's why I wanna know about the full version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The NZA Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 i gotta stop recommending you games, man. you like some things id consider ass on disc, and the golden ones, you crap on sometimes. i was actually surprised to see you playing mass effect, no lie. youre one of the weirdest gaming consumers i know, dear skeet.

Jables Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 Course by golden you mean Katamari & Rez, right? Have you played the Club Demo yet? That game is the fucking best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The NZA Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 downloaded it, but not played yet. I gotta say, sandbox games can be cool but theyre not often my thing. and dont you mock my love of quirky japanese gameplay; that's not what idve recommended! id go less esoteric, like uh, ok fuck im drawing a blank here.

Jables Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 Well I can't think of anything you've pitched that I've refuted either. S think of comething and get back to me damnit!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iambaytor Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 I haven't played the new Conan game but it can't be any worse than that Ghost Rider game that ripped off God of War and it was at its worst still mildly entertaining. I think the insomnia cure comes from the storyline, because Conan is a very boring fictional character. Like Robin Hood, or Billy the Kid, or the Pope.

Acalis Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 I like achievements in games, but they don't necessarily have to be limited to high scores only. Completing an impossible side quest in a Final Fantasy game is sure something to be proud of! Take for example, defeating Emerald Weapon and Ruby Weapon in FF7, with their ONE MILLION HPs!!! Took forever, but I done it! Also trying to breed a Gold Chocobo in that game is no easy task, I can tell you that! Sure all it will get me is bragging right, but it sure does rock!

It's solid evidence too though. Not calling yuo a liar, but it's all well-and good to say you've done these things but achievements basically give you a trophy for that shit so strangers and friends alike can see what you've done without you having to tell or show 'em.

Yes but do we need trophies for things like "Threw 10 cans of beans at unruly sea lions?" I personally don't think that's really impressive, I didn't think to do that because I'm not a deranged lunatic (most of the time), but fortunately the fine people at Xbox are and they did think to throw beans at sea lions.

Jables Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 Well sir you just haven't lived. And my 10g tells everyone else that too. It's true, in some games it's fucking ludricrous what they're give you achievements for, but that shit I just ignore. I don't go out of my way to do stupid shit but if it's something like a serious challenge?(ie Rocketman & Endless setlist) Hell yeah you gotta hit that if you can.

I agree acheivements are fun but in many cases they're just ways to show how big your Xbox Live penis is. Like all the achievements in Overlord are for killing ten maidens (who don't fight back and only run in a circle roughly the size of a small car) or completing missions that you HAVE to complete to finish the game (which I will accept like 2 or 3 of those, but not an achievement every time I complete a mission) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jables Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 You're almost quoting the guy I was fueding with over in this other forum up until I got banned. Sure it's a pissing thing, but what the fuck's wrong with flexing your e-penis? You never tried for top score on ye olde arcade games? S'exactly what this is.

But I never tried to get the high score in "throw the stick at the inanimate object from serveral inches away." If they're called "achievements" they should BE achievements. Not "You successfully hanged evil drapes! Points for you!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jables Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 Is that an achievement? After your review of Overlord it's almost plausible. Acch, 24 minutes until the fucking weekend begins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
