Dragon Age.

I mean, I bought it for a good bargain (comparatively) and I have absolutely no qualms about getting the game. Judging from the fact that I'm typing this up at 2.13 in the morning I'm really getting into the game.

But thinking hard about it it's really just the writing that holds it up. There's nothing incredibly engaging about it that I haven't played before (and arguably it plays a lot like Neverwinter Nights, ie. almost exactly except for the ridiculous tabletop simulation spreadsheets) and there's something off in some of the characters' proportions.

A friend also told me once that the dialogue would be superior to that from Mass Effect and that Morrigan was a sex bomb in voice and appearance, and imo he got it wrong on both counts :monster: although Claudia Black tries pretty hard ofc.

I've started playing Kingdom Hearts 2 again. :) Good stuff. Although I'd forgotten how dull the first part of the game is, sry roxas

I actually wanted to do this ^

Problem is my PS3 isn't one of the nice ones that lets me use my PS2 games, and my actual PS2 is kaput. :(

Satsu, you have awful taste in games. XD Then again, I've just become a warden, so I could be wrong. But I find Morrigan to be quite likable, and her VA is excellent. And now that I've seen her properly, I would agree tgdt she is very attractive...though her costume is kinda meh.

JOE HOW IS KEENSHEP DOING

Keenshep just needs to go recruit lokkaMordin and then she can die an awful lot to a praeterion.
 
Dead Rising 2, not sure I'll ever beat it, because I keep restarting the game and upping my stats.

To be honest my first playthrough was mainly just story stuff and I was able to get through it, even overtime. I didn't fight any psychos that I didn't need to, and only saved easy to get to survivors.

Tip for the final boss:
Well actually overtime final boss that is. After you get all the stuff he asks for and are about to go into the arena, drink as many boosts as you can. Speed, Health, etc. because you are going to start the fight with no weapons or anything. However the boosts will last for a little bit in the fight and make it a lot easier.

I mean yeah she's likeable and she has a great VA, but she isn't the sexiest video game character i've seen, like my friend made her out to be :monster:

And she wears strings for a bra. I'm sure it'll offend someone's sensibilities

Yeah, I'm not sold on the outfit, either. But b like her a lot more now that I've had interaction with her, rather than seeing random screenshots of her.

I'm still not really sold on the dialogue system 2 days in. That or I can't stand Morrigan's bitching every time I go out of my way to do something nice for someone else.

So what if I'm a fuckin' samaritan it ain't hurtin ya


EDIT: And also Claudia Black was way cooler as Matriarch Aethyta

It's really annoying when she dislikes you because you're helping someone that you HAVE TO to progress the story. What would you rather do, just sit here and twiddle your thumbs? No one's asking you along, bitch.>_>

I've been trying to beat this game on the hardest difficulty (Mentor? I think) for a while now. It's like volunteering myself for anal rape sans lube. It's taken me several hours just to get to the boss at the end of the first level who I just can't beat.

My friend gave me Mass Effect for PC last year and I only played it for a couple of hours before I was distracted by L4D and forgot about it. I think it's time to give it another shot.

Play it. Play it all the way through.

And then play Mass Effect 2 and realise you have become one of us.

"What can I do for ya babe

Sorry no sex
Just cleaned the bar"


= instant awesome



On a relevant note, my friend has been going on about how incredibly annoying Leliana's accent is, but it's really just an East European mish-mash and I don't know why it gets to him so much :monster:

Started Mass Effect. I have trouble choosing what my character's class/appearance is in WoW, so I'm sure you can imagine how damn long it took me to make my Shepard. But finally ended up with:

Kate Shepard
Spacer
War Hero
Infiltrator

Even by the end of the first cutscene I felt way more engaged than I had the first time around, because first time around I just went with generic Matthew Fox Shepard and that was a mistake.

You are already two million times more immersed because you don't have to deal with MaleShepard. Good job.
