Let's Play Some Motherf*$&ing Games: 2010!!!!!!

[Anthony Edward Stark]

Mass Effect 2: GARRUS.

Now with 3 times the ugly.

He told me "Used to be I was getting all the women when we went to the Citadel, Shepard. Now maybe you can start catching up."

[Scar]

2-4 is about where I quit in XF. After DQ5 I should prolly jump back in that game.

[Meeplelard]

FF7: Did everything doable with a Green Chocobo, including racing related shenanigans (as well as getting my Good and Great to B class)...then tried to get a Blue Chocobo!

*10 attempts of getting nothing but Green Chocobos later, game gets turned off*

...I hate chocobo breeding sometimes

Okami: Winter Wonderful running around fun stuff.  Also, why does Brown Fury have to be 2 Million?

FFTA2: ...I don't know if I advanced the plot or not.  I do know that I finally am getting access to more interesting classes like Paladin and such.

[Dark Holy Elf]

what are the odds it's going to crit and be enough to kill someone?

Probably about 1 in 6 or so, the same as the critical rate against everything else.

Criticals Causing Resets are a bitch, and sometimes unavoidable when you get that skill which makes skills crit.  I've actually had that happen once too...on the last enemy...cause I forgot that skill even existed...

[Talaysen]

So Bard... are you loving the Dragon-chick in SoD?

...she was quite the Tsundere in the anime. I figured you'd feel some kinship there. ^_^~

So Rhi'a is good in the game and bad in the anime.

Got it.

[DjinnAndTonic]

I don't know how she is in the game, but she's played for laughs in the anime.

Regarding all this, hey at least this is one map in the game not any fight you happen to do at some random given point in the game.  Fuck you FFTA.

[Anthony Edward Stark]

No More Heroes 2. Things I have done so far!

Totally ignored a Cloud Strife lookalike's angsting, then brutally murdered him.
Fought a star QB and his 24 cheerleader hos. They flew in to space and formed a giant robot, so of course Travis got out HIS giant robot and they fought. It was TRANSCENDENT.
Laid pipe, which isn't a metaphor for anything, but it IS a fun puzzle game.
Killed a giant retarded baby's head on a fat man's body armed with a flamethrower. I think it was a ghost.
Watched Sylvia shoot a naked zombie kid in the head with a giant handgun.
Played Rad Racer, basically. It's funny how everything has no scale at all and you can't see turns coming.

[Xeroma]

Game only gets more epic and ridiculous, as a heads up.

[Cmdr_King]

KotOR- Finally beat it.  Hurray random 'don't play games for a month' urges.  Lightside, Male.  

Hum.  Largely it's very star wars.  Bioware's flare for snark comes through an awful lot of course, which is cool since it gives even lightsiders a good Han Solo vibe.  I can see where people want to punch the hell out of the early game- aside from having an air of "none of this mattered" and being way too long, Carth and Bastila do, uh, not have strong starts.  Granted, Bastila is also Jennifer Hale, and you can Han Solo at her, so that's cool.  

Ultimately... would I have liked or played this game if it weren't Star Wars?  Probably not.  Canderous, HK, and Jolee are fun characters, but the plot wouldn't be half as interesting if I didn't have an existing, ungodly knowledge of Star Wars lore, although it's solid enough in that context.  Combat gets to be a chore against enemies you don't hopelessly outclass and mercilessly slaughter with Force Malestrom/Flurry of freakin' doom.  Having done the intro of KotOR2 I know they address this a little by having more force powers to play with and balancing out weapon classes better, so character customization has more merit, but yeah, not a gameplay game at all.  Still, playable and good at it's main mission.  7/10.

[Anthony Edward Stark]

Most importantly in KotOR2, they introduced the Precise Shot feats. Blaster-using characters finally become viable at end-game with it, because it makes it harder (and eventually impossible) to deflect blaster bolts. It is literally the only feat Jedi Mira takes until she maxes it out.

[Cmdr_King]

Yeah, Candorous was rather lacking in the Star Forge. T hough by god he didn't die like Jolee did!

[Grefter]

Canderous quite easilly converts to Melee weapons for what that is worth.

But yeah going to say it again, if you enjoyed KotOR 1 even just for the Star Wars thing you definitely should check out the sequel.  It is Empire.

[Bardiche]

So Bard... are you loving the Dragon-chick in SoD?

...she was quite the Tsundere in the anime. I figured you'd feel some kinship there. ^_^~

Didn't watch the anime beyond episode 2 or so, so I missed her there. I've been told she starts on the Salvation side in the anime, though, and then becomes tsuuu~n for Kyrie? In-game, she immediately hits on him and joins him after being neutral at first.

She's also not too funny? She's your cool-headed arbiter who watches over the balance of the world.

Taupy is also a lot more serious than he apparently is in the anime, whereas Kyrie has balls in the game but none in the series.

So, yeah, don't expect the game and anime to be comparable. They're not. (although tsun Rhi'a makes me want to watch the anime again)

Be sure to snag the restored content mod. It is good stuff.

[Cmdr_King]

Unfortunately, I'm playing on my 360, so I'd have to get the game again to get that.  Granted, something to consider down the road if I feel like replaying.

[Shale]

The restored content mod is for KOTOR 2.

[Grefter]

Yeah worth tracking down the PC version of 2 to play.  You would lose your save game transfer, but the main things that transfer are sex and alignment of the main, this defaults to Female Light Side, so I assume that matches up with what you played anyway.

[Shale]

Plus I'm sure there's some editor that would let you put together a quick approximation of your character from the first game if you wanted.

[Ultradude]

ToS2 - Final Dungeon. Woefully underleveled because my sister hasn't done a single quest, I imagine, since Alice and Decus killed us. Things were actually going fine until Alice whipped out Heal, then it kinda just... went downhill. Sis is gonna do quests and grab some better gear most likely then drag me off to finish the game - can't imagine the remaining bosses being as tough as long as they stay one-on-one after this.

[Grefter]

Probably, but you would need the save game at the right spot to do it as well and a few other things.  In all honesty it doesn't even change that much stuff.  It really is mostly just if they refer to Revan as He or She and a few pieces of dialogue like 3/4 of the way through the game.  Generally speaking people go ooohhhh mystary, no one really knows what Revan did!

Edit - And I am banking on CK being predictable, I have $5 on female and good.

It would actually be that she becomes ~dere for Kyrie, but yeah. SoD anime is predictable, but fun. Morte was still Morte from what I hear.

Reading!

[Grefter]

Reading is one thing.  Memory is something else.  If it isn't numbers then it normally is gone after about 5 minutes.
