Mass Effect - Man I wish I could have a colony of Ko like that. Also Wrexquest so obviously like before it must be done, gonna try and cross the last Renegade point threshold before Virmire.

Before I go to bed (I'll see it after, anyway):

How many floors are in Tartarus?

Tide · « **Reply #277 on:** January 26, 2011, 06:35:47 AM »

256 floors if I recall correctly. You won't be able to access all the floors at once, so it is more of a different dungeon every block.

EDIT: Oh yeah, ran some WA4 for the analysis topic. I will note that I learnt a couple more shortcuts. Also did you know that holding X makes Jude climb ladders faster? Looks like I have more room for improving for the speedrun. I blame NEB for this.

Halo3ODST: Beat Campaign on Heroic. Spent some time looking for audio files, but I somehow missed one despite using a map.

Missed one in the city or missed number 30?

7th Saga:

I blame this on Super and OK. We fought Monmo. I was dealing 7 damage with Wilme, 1 damage with Esuna. The boss has 750 HP, 1600 defense and 99 Resistance to all elements except Fire. Unfortunately, I only have 1 B Fire and it only deals 30 damage. He has immune to defense debuffing. Yakkity Sax plays as we all watch the failure. The plot twist is also a kick to the balls. I do believe this game has gone to the point of "unreedemable" in terms of quality.

You're so naiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiive~

Golden Sun: Dark Dawn - Things happen more. People keep talking. Lots of people are dead because of the Eclipse thing! Shame that like it is only people without names. Couple of people you don't care about are dead. woooooooooooo

When are you getting to the ominous confrontation with the big bad you probably never even heard of.

Doesn't he still have to gather a bunch of PCs with no relation to anything first?

Jo'ou Ranbu · « **Reply #283 on:** January 26, 2011, 01:43:49 PM »

I figure he's been doing that since the beginning of the game. This game sounds like Phantasy Star 3 Abridged without the "choose your own bangbuddy" aspect.

DjinnAndTonic · « **Reply #284 on:** January 26, 2011, 01:51:12 PM »

I can't fathom you applying 'Abridged' to anything about GS3...

Jo'ou Ranbu · « **Reply #285 on:** January 26, 2011, 01:55:45 PM »

PS3 is just that epic.

EDIT: For all that it barely has dialogue, most of the game is just aimlessly wandering around a world map ten times bigger than it had any right to be while being wantonly ambushed by tranvestite chicklets.

Hunter Sopko · « **Reply #286 on:** January 26, 2011, 04:13:20 PM »

PS3 at least vaguely told you where to go even if you generally got lost getting there, and stuff connected if you looked at it at an odd angle. This sounds worse

DomaDragoon · « **Reply #287 on:** January 26, 2011, 06:19:53 PM »

Battlefield 1943 - Got the 100 matches.

Puzzle Quest 2: Beat. Overall, I'd give it a 8/10 or so. The removal of random encounters was a good addition, but I didn't bother to check if the quick fights gave the crafting items so if they don't then there are finite resources which is bad. The assistants were a lot more interesting and useful in the first one. I really liked that they introduced a way to reset your stats, even if I didn't use it. Oh, and Assassin is royally broken. High level poisons and the near-infinite Stealth/Strike combos made everything except the three "super-bosses" (Yeti, Dragon, final boss) pathetically easy.

superaielman · « **Reply #288 on:** January 26, 2011, 08:47:03 PM »

They give resources.

And I disagree about assistants being better in this version. All they tought you was a couple of spells, and you're pretty pressed for magic space as is in this game. The bonus you got in PQ1 was much more useful.

Dragon is freaking nasty, yeah. Endurance mode is easy till the dragon, and then he just completely rapes you.

In the city, but I found it now and got the Achievement.

SRWJ - Continuing to chug along here. Currently wandering along the get every secret but Great Zeorymer path, since it means I'll see all the path splits that I won't be seing in the next playthrough. Roanne and his Buldy continue to keep up with the team due to lack of snipers, though I suspect next playthrough will involve more GGundam and therefore, Georges will take his spot. Only Aestis really showing up for use are Akito and Ryoko, but that's mostly because I'm giving the Brain Powered's a chance to shine this time. Currently on map 24, about to beat up a Behemoth.

Also, in the middle of comp upgrades, but far enough in that I've been able to get modern emulators to work, and have been muddling around with the DS SWRs. Haven't been hugely impressed with the casts so far, and may or may not do more work on them in the near future, since they're presently PC, and therefore competing with Civs, Dwarven Fortresses, and the like.

Fallout 3 - Moved a lot further ahead in this, at least when I've had the time and ability. Still mostly putzing around doing stuff, but have finally decided to advance the plot. Vault 101 is looking saner and saner all the freaking time, which is impressive since Vault 101 is insane by the standards of the previous games. Anyways, finally met up with the brotherhood and got the ability to wear power armour. Though, shame the guys out here have such crappy power armour. I mean, really? It's not that much better than the stuff I got from Reilly's Rangers, or even the stuff I get from those Talon Mercs, and it doesn't even boost my strength enough to cover it's own weight? Hell, doesn't even boost strength enough to let me cover the difference between what I'm wearing now and what it weighs? Ah well, at least the energy weaponry is showing up on cue, and is fun, even if not quite as much fun as a combat shotgun.

Currently looking for a GECK in order to save Arroy... wait, no. Wrong game. Right, gotta stop the FEV using madman in order to crush the Super Mutant threat to Cali... crap! This game's plot is giving me deja vu.

HoMaM5 - 4 maps into the second campaign and I am done with this.

For what it's worth, I would argue that the third campaign has the best story in H5 original. (I can't really speak for the expansions, I've never tracked them down.) Can't offer any help with the camera, though.

Mass Effect 2: Lair of the Shadow Broker: Decent DLC. The PC based dossiers are awesome.

Excal · « **Reply #295 on:** January 27, 2011, 04:10:05 PM »

Fallout 3, finished. Ending was kinda cool, though the main plot felt slightly contrived in retrospect. Especially the final dilemma given that you are basically given the tool to solve it right before you get into the situation, given to you for that exact reason, and they even acknowledge they had done so by giving you a speech option that mentions it that results in "No, this is not an option," in freaking Fallout.

So yeah, ending failed it up, for all that the game itself was fairly fun.

Paper Mario: Just went into the sewers and did whet was possible to do after beating the ninja koopas. Blooper turned out to be rather hard at this point, although only because I made some mistakes and I refuse to use Power Bounce. I ended up winning with 1 HP left and no way of healing. As a reward I got a status move. I'll see if status moves are actually useful in this game.

DomaDragoon · « **Reply #297 on:** January 28, 2011, 12:45:19 AM »

Silly Super, I said they were better in the first one.

Castlevania: HoD - Beat on Hard, thanks to the power of getting other people to do the work for me in multiplayer. Yay!

Super Meat Boy: 40 Bandages. World 4. 800+ deaths.

SRWZ: Pain is spending two hours in a stage only to find that you're 8000 points of damage short of getting the SR point and have no way to improve, so you have to start from scratch.

Niu · « **Reply #299 on:** January 28, 2011, 05:23:23 AM »

KH BbS FM- So the power down of the orgy coat man is true. Hell, none of the new bosses are as hard as the orgy coat man in the US version. The only reason armored Xehanort took longer is only because of his health.
