Been thinking about buying Andromeda Not got round to it as yet.
@Master_Dahark crushing Tie Fighters with force grip never gets old, Unleashed 2 you are seriously over powered from the start though it's great fun.
I'm getting hyped for the new movie so I felt like I should do another play through. Does anyone know if this is getting a much deserved sequel?
Played it, got the Platinum, and loved it. Check the last couple of pages, I posted some thoughts.
Hadn't played it for a couple of weeks. I jumped back in today, and finished the final mission, blowing up the targets in the dam, the jet with that light saber thing and the final jet. With that last bit, I had taken 94% damage. One more hit, and I would have had to have restarted the mission. On to AC5 next.
Always love those moments where I escape/complete a level by the skin of my teeth. I sunk a good two hours into this one single mission on 'Hitman' yesterday, and I could've completed it with ease, but I was getting cocky trying to take out all the NPC's in the level. I'm at the exit of the level, three shots remaining in my handgun, and a guard sees me. I fire once, hit him in the shoulder, and the next two shots miss, so as soon as he aims and starts hitting me with his god-like accuracy, I escape the level. Just a second more - if that - and I would've failed and wasted all that time for nothing.
It adds an extra thrill to be on the ropes and still win.
I've heard nothing but positive reaction from this game, having played the original one in the late nineties on my uncle's old computer, I'd say this remake definitely has the build, feeling and the positive absurdity (depends if you like absurdity) of the 1990s first person shooters. Updated graphics and believable enemy compounds, you, as the player, are given the option to play as an operative of a deadly task force called H.U.N.T. consisting of different characters, yet all with the same attitude. Out of five choices, I picked a girl this time. Thi Barrett, who ridiculously looks like a punk version of Scarlett Johansson's Black Widow. Normally, I'd take Taradino Cassatt in the old game, but he didn't appeal to me in the remake for a reason.
Femme fatale sweethearts everywhere...
It's going to be a long-lasting play through for me to finish it, but here's me having finished off the first stage, or Episode 01 accordingly, slaughtering dozens of terrorists who, in 21st century, are dressed like WWII Nazi styled troops. Somebody's an idealist. And the weirdest thing is that, the compounds and castles I race through, totting my guns at them all, they all heavily resemble German castles and Nazi Waffen SS headquarters when the location is supposed to be set on San Nicholas Island in California. It has 1990s in heart written all over it!
My all time favourite thing in it, aside from the Canadian hotheaded ginger darling that is Thi Barrett, is the inclusion of the Walther PPK as the main sidearm, since it's my all time favourite weapon, it pleases me to see it in any video game. It's awfully driven by the Dieselpunk genre. And of course, eventually, at the end of the first "episode", you encounter an evil boss that you have to "kill" in consecutive three phases. One General Darian who (@MajorDSmythe, you might be curious about this) who looks and talks like Major Maxim from the Danger Girl comics.
"Take that, you...!"
The game is rich with smugly bad attitude on behalf of every existing person in it, and by that I only mean the important characters so the regular goons don't count. Lots of swearing, vulgarity, blood and gore, all the things that embody the imagery of "badassness", including lots of humour and comedic elements. The important cutscenes, such as the intro, is drawn in a comic book-ish way, with panels, illustrations, dialogue cubes and whatnot. But, the game itself was made on a very tight budget, with almost every penny going to licensing and acquiring the game engine. All in all, I've been enjoying this. A remake done right considering its budget which definitely does not disappoint. I've yet to play the rest.
After this, I might try Shadow Warrior, another remake of a 90s FPS classic.
Haven't encountered many bugs so far. I like the crew too. More lighthearted, than crews were in the original trilogy. Ryder is just a guy/,or girl , who is up to for new adventures in a new galaxy.
Also plsyed through the first episode of Borderlands, the Telltale series. Vert lighthesrarted compared to Telltale's other games, namely Batman or the walking dead.
I've never heard of that game. But your post gives me a Wolfenstein / NOLF vibe.
RPGs can be nuts like that, @JamesBondKenya, what with all its inventory lists, upgrade/skill trees, indexes, etc. You should try your hand at The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt soon. The amount of complexity in that game will really knock your socks off. Open world games are my area, and even I was shocked by all there was to it.
It all does take some getting used to, but you'll get the hang of it eventually. Make sure to save often! You never know what random game-breaking bug you may possibly run across in your adventures.
Has anyone here played 'Sniper Elite 4' yet, by any chance? Been wanting to pick that one up, seems like a load of fun.
@SharkBait, I'm the exact opposite. No interest in sci-fi, but I can tolerate fantasy, though I've never been super into it. I usually prefer grounded things with some reality attached to them, but my like of fantasy has increased somewhat and I enjoy the lore of The Witcher. I'm taking my time with it, playing it off and on, and enjoying myself. It has great characters well realized, and that's what keeps me glued. On top of that it's a perfect realization of an RPG and open world game, showing other developers how to get it right.
I think doing so definitely helps. I closed in around 80-90 hours for my initial, 100% playthrough where I tried to complete all the quests and explore everything. Found it funny just how much time I sunk into it, then it took me less than 10 hours after that to run through the game on Insanity.
I have a 12 year old niece who is almost obsessed with that game and its characters.
I have no idea why, but the series is particularly popular with kids.
It might be a long while before we get the next ME.
Haven't finished MEA yet, so I have long way to go with my Ryder and don't know the ending yet. The next one might be a soft reboot for all I know.
The way they're enhanced to whichever graphical quality my computer would allow all look totally utterly solid. It just shows how much care was given to both of these titles and how both were treated like AAA game projects rather than just strapping cliches and weakly reckless development like the Activision titles for example.
