XenoBlade Chronicles
Hm... my last post vanished on me. Oh well, moving forward anyway.
Just crossed the 70 hour mark. Endgame started about 12 hours ago.
Twists just keep coming but they are fun ones.
At the moment, I'm trying to beat a boss in the heart of the bionis (literally) but its 5 levels above me and beating me senseless. I've had to resort to the forbidden method for level enhancement. grinding.

Resident Evil: Code Veronica:
You know what sucks? Having full health but only a couple weak healing items, and very little ammo.

You know what sucks more? Taking the above sentence and adding "Right before you have to fight a Tyrant" to the end. It took like twenty tries, but damn it, I launched that bastard out of that plane like I was getting a cash prize. One of the few times in gaming when my victory included me flipping both birds at the screen while yelling "YEAH, **** YOU!"

PS, Steve is still awful. And Alfred is also awful, but he gets points back for being so out of his freaking mind that it becomes kind of funny. But Wesker is here, so it's all good.

Borderlands

finishid the whole bounty board thing in Rust Commons East, now i am preparing to fight Krem, i have no idea of what i am about to fight, i got an idea about Sledge when i fought him but I'm not sure of fighting him now. LVL 27

The Walking Dead

I just got done playing Episode 5. That s*** was heart breaking. I had to restart the game from Episode 1 because my file got deleted somehow (I blame my siblings) but I played through it in one sitting. That game is so good.

[The Happy Locust]

Xenoblade Chronicles
Whew... 4 levels makes a difference. A boss that was once nigh-impossible is now only a frustrating pain in the backside. Finally took it out and then took the fast track from the heart of the Bionis to the head. Found my next target, but before I can fight him I need to survive a battle arena in a falling elevator.

Broderlands: Island of Ned

Killed Pumpkinhead and FrankenBill. I thought there wasn't much else to do, no new missions, etc.
Until I remembered that there's an achievement you can get for completing a mission called "BRAAAAAANS!"
So I looked all over the freaking island, and eventually, DUN DUUUN DUUUUUN! T.K's Prosthetic Leg! OMG! So, uh, yeah, T.K Baja. Well, I wish I would have known that BEFORE I started the DLC, so I could have done it early on. Now I need to get all those brains.

The Armory:

So I Raided the armory two more times by using the "Armory Glitch" (Sue me) but the second time I accedentally got to close to the elevator room. Oops. Well, it aint the end of the world, but still...

Also, LEVEL CAP! There are lvl 70 enemies though, I call hax.

This is the first game Iv'e ever reached any lvl cap. I feel like celebrating. Tonight I shall have eggs.

Sidenote: When I whent to Sanders Gorge claptrap said something like "Many a man have turned and ran in fear, and even more have made that TERRIBLE joke!"
What joke? What did I miss? If there's a terrible joke to be made, I wanna make it!

[Shadowman]

Now I need to get all those brains.

God I hated those missions. Headshots or nothing. It's easily the most annoying mission in either game.

Also, LEVEL CAP! There are lvl 70 enemies though, I call hax.

Crawmerax would be level 72 at this point.

You'll see later on, there's a couple missions about it. Like, a mission for collecting seven herbs and spices for Marcus or taking down a chicken-themed Clucktrap and it's a freaking KFC reference.

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim:
Preparing for the now-confirmed release of Dragonborn for PS3. (And the now-planned release of Dawnguard and Hearthfire) Largely just doing missions that I haven't done yet, or ones that I had lying around but never finished...after nearly a year of playing.

[The Happy Locust]

Xenoblade Chronicles
GAME.OVER!
Beat the game at something like 77 hours in. Total pain but totally worth it. The final section did not allow saving so I had to power through it. The final boss was a 3 part fight and part 1 was really hard. Had to work my combos perfectly or the guy took me down in only 3 movies. Part 2 was easier as it was a one-on-one and part 3 was easy as it was a story point that my main character IS NOW A GOD!
Very satisfying ending to a very worthwhile game. Anyone with a wii or wii u should definitely check this one out.

Claptrap's New Robot Revolution

So I killed Knoxx-Trap the second time, beat Undead-Ned-Trap (HOLY CRAP!) and Camandant Steel-trap again. On the way to the last boss, you see the volcano that the vault is on, kewl.

Wait, so I'm close to the main borderlands area now, right? It would bre even better if I could go into town again and-


Well damn.

"If it took more than one shot, you werent using a jakobs"

One helluva boss fight and a session with the WIRED device later, and I'm off to many KFC related shinanigans and so on...

[The Happy Locust]

Now that I finally finished Xenoblade, time to move back to the other games I've been putting off.

New Super Mario Bros (DS)
Up to world 6-3, but have already unlocked world 7.

Rayman: Origins
Cleared the first world and my first Mos-Keeto mission. Saved the second nymph lady (I forget the proper term) and got the helicopter move.

Dragon Age II
Still trying to build up for the Deep Roads Expedition. Tracked down and saved the runaway mage child. He decided he wanted to take his chances with the Dalish. Let's see how this turns out.

[The Happy Locust]

*looks around cautiously*

Um... I think it's safe to post again.

*Pushes the 'Post reply' button. *

Phew... safe.



*Locust's splattered remains coincidentally form the following message*

New Super Mario Bros DS
Done. Beat the game, found most levels and missed star coins in only 3 levels. I'm content with this. Moving on.

Rayman Origins
5 worlds in. Passed the Mystical Pique and just unlocked the next one. Only missing 2 electoons, but that's not counting the time trial ones yet. Overall, loving this game.

Dragon Age II
Returned from the Deep Roads expeditions. Lost one of my party members to the blight, but made enough money to move to Hightown. Mostly hitting the side missions now.

Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor's edge
1st time playing a Ninja Gaiden game. Getting my backside kicked repeatedly but enjoying it so far. Passed the 1st boss, lost my sword, found another one, and got a bow&Arrow.

[Shadowman]

Time for the Christmas Haul Mega Super Progress Happy Time 2012!

Resident Evil 6:
BEATEN! Teamed up with a friend of mine, and we co-op'd the hell out of it for a few days. Not as good as, say, 4, (Though if we all try to compare to 4 no one wins) but it had it's moments. Like Chris and Leon not only meeting face-to-face for the first time, but also having a totally awesome fight. Also Sherry's back and boy oh boy puberty has done her some favors. And also Ada gets a nude scene. And also Jake is awesome.

Mortal Kombat:
BEATEN! Story mode, at least. Still have to finish climbing Challenge Tower. At least I learned how to perform Babalities.

Infamous 2:
Actually not beaten yet! Tracked Bertrand down to Flood Town, and turned the power on there. I sided with Kuo, because Nix is a psycho bitch.

XCOM: Enemy Unknown:
My current objectives are to develop the Skeleton Key and assault the alien base, but I'm avoiding that in favor of doing side missions and making my team stronger.

[The Happy Locust]

Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor's edge
Still on day 2. I get stuck on specific battles. Wow, difficulty levels spike. Last round was on a balcony, taking down an endless supply of enemies while trying to bring down a helicopter that was shooting at me.

Dragon Age II
Running every possible side-quest in act II before speaking to the Qunari. Tracked a lost patrol, hunting a serial killer, and helping some rogue mages.

Rayman Origins
Cleared the 1st round of levels. Was just told by the nymphs that I now need to free the kings of each land. This opened up a second set of levels in the first worlds. Off I go.

[Wigglez]

Infamous 2:
Actually not beaten yet! Tracked Bertrand down to Flood Town, and turned the power on there. I sided with Kuo, because Nix is a psycho bitch.

Wait 'till the end of the game.

What I got for Christmas... Uncharted 3, Mass Effect 3, Prototype 2 and Hitman Absolution.

Uncharted 3
I beat it. I replayed 1 and 2 for the story and headed to 3 right after. 3 was f***ing gorgeous compared to the first 2.

Prototype 2
I beat this also. I replayed 1 for the story because to be honest, I haven't even finished it 'till I got 2 so I restarted it. Then when I played 2, my opinions is kind of mixed on it. It's better than 1, but also worse. It's complicated.

Hitman Absolution
I played through this game like 3 times. It reminded me why I loved this series in the first played. There are so many way to get rid of a target, it's amazing.

Mass Effect 3
I refuse to play this. I love the Mass Effect series so much but I haven't played 1 since '08 and it's finally out for PS3. I want to play it again. I have 4 of the novels and ME2. But I want 1. And also I'm not playing 3 because I want to start it with all of the story DLC added before I play it. It's just how I am, shut up.

Borderlands: The Underdome

You know that feeling you get when your working hard at something, and someone comes along and finishes it for you, and THEN SOME?
Some hunter came in with an INSANELY overpowered sniper, turned even the bosses such as sledge and bonehead into skag-treats in one shot.

the siren I was also co-oping with didnt make things any easier with her pistol that melted everyone in one shot. (Actually she did but that there is the problem, I struggle through hordes of enemies, the mull through them like nothing) We were all lvl 69, Iv'e raided the Armory 4 times, and ive never seen guns so overpowered

The Sniper Rifle wasnt bessie either.

[The Happy Locust]

Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor's Edge
Day 2 is finished after a 3 hour long fight against a helicopter.
Okay, it only took me 3 hours to beat it. Game is hard.
after that, hit Ayane's mission. Not as difficult since I'm getting the hang of the controls (and trying out my new Pro controller), but the boss made me put down my controller before I broke it. It's not one boss, not two bosses, but three bosses all attacking simultaneously. Ouchy.

Dragon Age II
Finally went to see what the Qunari wanted. A theft prevention plot now threatens the entire city. Whoopsy. Tracking down the guy who stole the goods, but it's a long trail.
Side-mission wise, went on Varric's personal mission to find his brother. Said brother was driven nuts by a trinket he found and was housed with a couple dozen equally crazed mercenaries. Yeah... this was not easy.

[Rex Prime]

Dishonored


Damn Those Traitors and i will not spoil it for those who didn't finish the game, i helped 'em and they just poisoned me, ***k them!

And now i am stripped of my weapons! #@#َ$!!!!
at least i maintained a low chaos, but on the next walk-through, i am gonna burn you, BURN YOU ALLL

[Shadowman]

Alpha Protocol:
It's like if Metal Gear and Mass Effect had a baby, and then that baby was adopted by Chris Avellone.

Just got my ass blown up by Halbech, now I'm in Rome looking to get some payback.

[The Happy Locust]

Rayman origins
Decided to focus on this as I was nearing endgame.
Cleared the main story. The last level was very satisfying as it included 2 boss battles, a super-hard platforming section, an airborne shooting battle/chase scene, and a disco number. Seriously.
Collected all electoons and the Darktoon teeth, which means I've unlocked the land of the Livid dead. Just got that left and I'm done.

[Shadowman]

and a disco number. Seriously.

Well that's on my shopping list now.

Resident Evil 6:
Finished Jake's campaign on Normal. Bought the Infinite Ammo Magnum. Catharsis begins now.

Borderlands 2

"Your eyes deceive you, an illusion fools you all, I move for the kill"

I cant stop playing! This game's better than I thought! it's freaking awesome!

I'm at the point were I need to rescue roland. Its damn near impossible without caustic weapons! all these damn loaders! I cant believe I havnt found a single acid weapon yet...

Also, been co-oping. My friend does not know wut is borderlands, its hell. I had to revive him over 20 times during the escape across the dam. Playing solo is preferable sometimes I guess.

Anyway, details dudes, how good is the DLC? Did the lvl cap increase?

[Shadowman]

The DLC is amazing, the level cap hasn't increased yet, and if you're playing on PS3, you better have a good reason for not inviting me to co-op. I beat the story twice-over, I know what I'm doing. The only problem is that I prefer to play as Gaige, and unless you want to roll with a level 50, I'd have to start a fresh Gaige from scratch.

I Hate that place.

Dishonored

I Escaped from the flooded district and went to the sewers, where i find Granny Rags the "elder" woman blessed with the outsider's powers and Slackjaw the gang leader, and i helped both of them times in the past, Rags want to make of Slackjaws bones a bone charm, Slackjaw want's me to set him free..ummmm a weird old lady with powers or a man with his word....Slackjaw was my choice, after burning Granny Rag's Cameo which gives her immortality i sleep darted her and i kept my hands clean from blood, Slackjaw gave me lots of money, and i entered Granny's house to find some bone and runes, good for me.
Now i returned to the hound pits, i will throw that damn traitor to dust! but the place is a Tallboy Hell, the whole city watch is there. Plans...Plans

Borderlands 2

I Skipped the first one and bought this while i can, the result was:

This game is the first game, but 1000% more awesome.

i met tiny tina and got her bandobandoks thing, and made exploded the hyperion train, now it's time for the real robot smashing.

That would be cool, but im only level, 12 I think? I play so much I forget what level I am.

How is Gaige anyway? I read up on her, and was seriously debating buying her...

anyway, I wouldn't be against co oping with you, I just dont want to play with someone who's overpowered. I did that once, wasnt too fun.

I think I have Maya around that level, I'd have to check.

Gaige is the bomb. Most of Deathtrap's abilities are hilariously overpowered. And Gaige herself is a totally cute redhead who tends to make Unreal Tournament quotes during combat.

anyway, I wouldn't be against co oping with you, I just dont want to play with someone who's overpowered. I did that once, wasnt too fun.

In DCUO, I have a tendency to join in combat far below my CR. The result is that my friends all have combat done for them.
