Yeah the .50 cal locations in that game = maximum mayhem.
I only got frustrated in the very last battle where both your friends are gone and you take out almost an entire battalion of well armed troops by yourself. And once you figure the rhythm of the battle its not too bad.
So what did you think?
Pretty good overall. Story was pretty good, wasn't super amazing to me like it seems to be to other people, but I was glad that it at least stayed away from all the cliches (I just about groaned out loud near the end of Wolfenstein multiple times). Having the messages during the loading screens change away from just being basic gameplay tips later in the game was a pretty cool idea.
I bought Borderlands The Pre- Sequel during the steam 50% off sale and then bought the Season Pass for $7.80 at a UK website that made a mistake in pricing ( I wouldn't have bought it otherwise). I've already finished the main story with Athena and I have to say it was a good fun game and I enjoyed the story. I love the lasers and use them almost exclusively. Right now I'm finishing up all the side quests I have left, and then I plan on trying out the Handsome Jack clone.
Just finished playing The Last of Us (remastered). I heard a lot of good things about that game but wow, I didn't expect that level of quality. Despite a few dents here and there the game is awesome, very well done and manages to tell it's story very well. the gameplay is simple yet effective and the story is post apocalyptic bleakness at it's best (I kept having emotional flashbacks to Fallout 3 and System Shock 2).
Just started playing Tales of Vesperia on the Xbox 360. Old game, but I just finally bought it. I got a lot of hours out of Tales of Symphonia, so I'm looking forward to this one.
I forgot about this thread lol.
Dragon Age: Inquisition
9.3/10
+GFX
+Story/Immersion
+Length (I got 60ish hours into it)
+Characters
-Tactical camera is severely underwhelming
-DA:O is still better
DA:I might be my favorite game of the year. DA:I and Divinity: Original Sin are locked in a battle of awesome.
I just beat Sunset Overdrive. I loved it! I went into it expecting some dumb mindless shooter and instead I got a smartly-designed, demanding, funny game that is one of the best I played all year.
I'm now going through and doing all the side quests I missed and seeking out the myriad collectibles scattered throughout the world. At the very least I plan on finishing all the side quests and getting all of the weapons in the game; I probably won't be messing with multiplayer at all and I don't think I'll be doing many of the challenges.
Finally finished Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition in it's entirety. Now I'm playing through BG2:EE, then probably ID:EE since I bought it a week ago. I guess I can thank Divinity: Original Sin for renewing my interest in the CRPG genre.
Since my last post I've beaten Skylanders Giants, Phineas and Ferb Quest for Cool Stuff, Spec Ops The Line, and Torchlight all on 360. I really enjoyed Spec Ops. Good story, and it didn't seem like endless enemies to me. A lot of 'em? Yes! But manageable. Torchlight I had already played a long time ago on PC, found out that at some point I had purchased it for 360. Giants was fun. I still think the original skylanders game was probably the best of the lot; but I have yet to play trap team. Phineas and Ferb was an enjoyable platformer. Sometimes it's good to just kick back and play a mindless, simple game; which it was.
Currently have about 63 hours into Just Cause 2. OMG! What a game! Like Mercenaries 2 but better. Like Saboteur, but better. Like Crackdown but....well... It's good though!
Far Cry 4
UGH/10
+Pretty
-Unskippable opening advertisments (I hate this)
-Texture swapping is extremely noticeable
-Ubisoft performance issues (Again!)
-No crossfire support
-Story is blah, characters are blah and make no sense whatsoever
-Wild difficulty spikes
So...Yeah.
Hmm and my best friend at work says he likes it more than FC3.
Been playing this lately with one of my friends, can confirm it is way better than FC3. We're not following the story and are just having fun roaming around taking over the map together and doing assassination missions.Quote:

Over the course of the year I played a card game(hearthstone), a crpg(Divinity: OS), a rpg(multi), sports games, racing games, TBS(Endless Legend), 4X(X series) and MMO's. It is awesome.
*edit* and Kama, you are wrong lol, FC3 is way better than this!!!1
I dunno man, have you played FC3's co-op mode? :)Quote:
