Assassin's Creed 2 has to end at some point, right? It feels like it's just repeating a handful of scenarios over and over and over

Babel mode in Catherine is hard as fuck... I dunno how I passed Altar.

Is it a good game or are you playing it for the achievements?

I think the game is way too difficult when you start out. After just playing through the story just watching videos, I got comfortable enough and memorized enough pattersn to try and play it myself. Nope, still extremely difficult. You can pretty much watch videos for the entire game except Babel mode, since it randomizes shit each time.

I don't think the story was really anything good, either. IMO game is way too overhyped. I'd just watch a playthru on YouTube.

I thought it's one of those stories that branches off depending on your choices. Or was that the oversold part? I remember stories about how choosing to answer your cellphone or not would affect something later on.

I bailed on it about half way through for that reason. My gaming OCD forces me to do absolutely everything as I go through an area and I'm sure it exasperated the repetitiveness quite a bit, but I think it's still a bit tiring either way.

No, it's the same results regardless of your choices. The game ends the same way, but the ending is different based on your Karma Meter and the last 3 questions you're asked in the final levels.

Finally got a chance to play Ys Origins again today. Got up to what I think is the last boss and he killed me. I'll figure him out tomorrow.

Beat final boss, get achievements, unlock new modes... Steam cloud sync doesn't work properly. Start game back up, new modes are gone. Smfh, I'll beat him again later. Great game.

one of my favorite horror games. i tried to play the add-on the other day, and it throws you straight into the deep end with the scary-ass monsters. i forgot how bad this game can fuck with you

one of those games where my brain is trying to figure out the videogame logic (what rules does the a.i. follow to detect me? how long before enemies stop searching for me?) but i was always to scared and ended up running and cowering over and over. the tension in the game is BRUTAL

That Lufia DS game. There's some decent stuff in here but it's hindered by a shitty framerate and terribad sluggish combat. Especially compared to a certain other action RPG starring a redhead I am playing now.

Despite the pay shop bullshit, it is quite enjoyable. I haven't really played much lately, but as many hours as I put into the Beta I'd have happily dropped $50-60 on a copy of it rather than have everything shopped to shit.

Kenka Bancho is fun. Some of the gags are pretty funny. I beat down this one goon and he starts crying about having to leave Kyoto, and my guy is like, "peon rules, breh" SO now I own him. I like the structure where before-lunch is a story bit with your schoolmates and after-lunch is free time to kick the shit out of some banchos. Or your friends might call you up to do something. And I like all the time management to everything.

One complaint is that the save system feels so dated and makes me wish the Vita had a PSP Go style save state system. From what I can tell you can only save at the inn. Since time is a resource, you can either waste it by traveling back to save, or live out the rest of the day, which means you can't stop playing. Sometimes you have to be at certain places at certain times (you learn where other banchos appear by knocking out goons and stealing the itinerary).

Kenka Bancho is rad. This one guy, Kage-something, is this wuss shit who's trying to get with this one woman, who happens to like my character. He's passive-aggressively working against my character by conspiring with teachers to get me kicked out. So, I move through the story fighting everyone I see, and along the way there's an option to choose your girlfriend, and I chose Kage's crush. At the end of the school trip the high school boss champ shows up and tells me I kicked the shit out of 200+ youths and dominated 95% of the territory and have proven I'm bad ass enough to fight him. And I do. And I smash his face in. The game ending with Kage crying about his ruined high school memories. My guy's trip was awesome. He's the strongest in Japan.

Game reminds me of River City Ransom. I don't know if they're officially connected or anything.

The Sceneman · « **Reply #17207 on:** August 14, 2012, 09:20:38 AM »

haha the DLC in Dragon's Dogma is hysterical, I bought the quest bundle pack as it seemed like good value, as it contained what was originally 10 pieces of episodic content. Turns out they were all unlock codes, and the 100 quests are actually just 100 collectibles they locked and released as the most ludicrous nickel and diming ever. On the plus side the quest rewards are very very good so it ain't all bad.

Oh well, at least I'm paying Capcom back to profitability!

Fallout 3 clicked with me after a couple of hours. In the beginning I couldn't find quests (mainly because I ran past Moira) but now I have some interesting stuff going. Combat also is better, especially in more closed rooms although I still wish there would be proper round based fights.
